"Wo Insist that tho courts are not Insti

It Is no prt of their functions or powers.
Thcro Is 110 lawsuit, no real controversy and
no dispute affecting tho rights of cither

any lolatlon of that law, it Is a proposition
unknown to the Inw, at olico novel nnd

bo opportune for these plaintiffs to pray for
a decree of tho court on the validity of theso
laws when they undertako to violate somo

Ilenldc. he says, they have an adequate

from to the courts if they don't like his de

may put upon them a prerequisites for do

They have no legal right to complain of

Wlf ScHi finicnry for IllnnmUt
Mrs. Roland VV. Hills of Illalr today ap
peared before Governor Savage and ap-
nealrd for executive clemency for ner nus-
baud, who Is sentenced to four years In
the penitentiary for committing Digamy
Tho man was brought to Lincoln today
by the sheriff of Washington county. He
was accompnnled on the trip by Mrs. Hills
and an attorney nnd Immediately after
their nrrlval thy latter two proceeded to tho
rovcrnor's office.
At the tlmo of the Interview Governor
Savage had no official knowledge of the
man's rommltmciU'nnd he refused to give
'nnv expression relative to tho request,
railing to get an encouraging assurance
Mrs. Hills asked tho governor to com
mute tho ncnalty to a Jail sentence. Sho
said that would permit her to see her hus
band oftener than when he Is confined in
the penitentiary. Tho governor listened to
tho appeals, but declined to give any prom
iso, other than to say that ho would give
the matter due consideration
Though she was a witness in tho trial,
Mrs. Hills took no part In tho prosecution
of her husband. She says the charges
wcro preferred through the efforts of tho
Episcopal minister of Dlalr. She declares
that this clergyman, learning of Hills
former marriage in England, Instituted an
Investigation and paid tho transportation
nnd other expenses of the first wife to
enmo from England to ninlr to glvo teBti
mony.

Thn State Hoard of Public Lands and
llulldlncs has . under, consideration several
plans for utilizing the old walls, and cells
of tho penitentiary building, which was
destroyed by fire during tho winter. The
legislature appropriated $75,000 for all ex
penses Incident to restoring the Institu
tion. Of this amount nbout $23,000 has
already been expended for sixty liiw cells
nnd blankets nnd bedding for tho prison
trs, Contracts have, been awarded for
the construction of a new ndmlnlstrntlon
building and after It Is finished there will
bo hut very little money left for repair
lnfi or rebuilding the old walls. Tho hoard
hopes to ropalr the walls where the stones
have been damaged by fire nnd to cover
them with a now roof. Tho old stone cells
are still In position, hut It is doubtful
that thej ran be used. Tho administra
tion building will contain the cooking de

the direction of n foreman employed by

O'NEILL, Nob., Aug. 9. (Special Tele
gram.) Much excitement is being caused
here by reason of a recent decision of the
secretary of the Interior with reference to
land allotted to quarter and half-breed In
dians. Tho syllabus of the caso referred to
Is as follows
Children born of n white man, n citizen of
tin- United States, and an lndlnn woman,
his wife, follow the status of the father In
the mattnr of citizenship nnd arc therefore
not entitled to allotment under section 4,
uct of February &, 1SS7, as amended by the
act of February 2S, 1691.
This decision seems to nffect tho title to
several thotunnd ncrcs of very choice land
In Royd and Knox counties, In October,
ISC'O, there were allotted to the Ponca tribe
of Indians In Nebraska several thousand
acres of land in the above nnmSd counties,
which then formed a part of tho Ponca and
Sioux Indian reservations. Many of the
allottees were children born of a white man
nnd an Indian woman nnd under tho rule
then In force it was thought they were en
titled to an allotment. This ruling wao ro
crscl In tho decision above referred to.
S. J. Weeks, register of the United States
lnnd office here, when seen today said:
"Yes, It Is true that charges havo been
preferred by individuals against a num
ber of Indian allotments In Royd county.
Tho complaints arc In the nature of an nfll-
davit, alleging In each Instance that the
allottco In each Instance Is the child of a
white man and a citizen of the United
States. In moat Instances the complaint Is
accompanied by nn application to enter the
land ns a homestead. The homestead ap
plication Is not allowed, but nil papers are
transmitted to the commissioner of tho
general land office nnd will, as I take It, If
ho deems the charges sufficient, make the
matter a subject of Inquiry by a special
agent or order a hearing at tho local land
office. In case a hearing Is ordered the per
sons presenting the charges ngalnst the al
lotments must nssume and pay tho ex
penso of the hearing, hut they acquire no
preference right to mako entry of the land
If tho allotmont Is canceled."
It Is reported hero today that the people
or i.yncn, tno town nearest the land, are
much excited over the matter and many are
on the way hero to mako application for
tho land.
