In alt thera were alxty-one - ' case dismissed. , ' The sixty-one defendents were under the Impression that they were not committing a crime and. United BtAtee Attorney F. S. Howell took up the matter with the AN . torney general, recommending the dismissal c-f 'th case for two reaeona: First, a ' .great many of the defendenta at least be lleved they were not violating tha law be '. cause of the decision of tha auprema court five years ago. Second, the caaea are ao 61Tlt 1 difficult to obtain the testimony Bprm which to try the defendants. The attorney general gave It out that hereafter any violations of the law for In ... troducing liquor Into Indian country would be vigorously prosecuted and penitentiary sentences Insisted upon In all caaea. Mr. Howell said Saturday that from now on tha policy of Ms office will be to extend no clemency to" parties violating this law. - The supreme court gave Its decision five years ago tn the Neff case. Some district courts held that It waa a crime to Intro- duoe liquor Into the' Indian country, while f ether district oourts held that It waa net a ! crime. The question, however, was such a doubtful one that a teat case waa made In the Simeon Hallowell ease, which went to the circuit court of appeals and then to ? the auprema court of the United State. m Pending tha declston of the supreme oourt ".-Judges W. II, and T. C. Munger did not try any of these sixty-one cases, awa ting - advice from the supreme court. In May t of this year the supreme court handed down ' It decision, holding that the Neff case did not affect the question of intro ducing liquor into tha Indian country, but .that such Introduction wai a crime which f entH-rb punished by Imprisonment In the penitentiary. The Hallowell caaa waa remanded by the supreme court for further proceeding in accordance with the opinion of the court. and that case la now In the circuit court of appeal for a decision, which In any event will be only format The probablll tie are that Hallowell will dismiss hi appeal. Recommendation will then be made to the president to pardon him because the test case made by him was as much for the benefit of the government aa all y one.

Some of the members objected to holding any more firmly organized meet' lngs. The fund for which nearly 11,000 was collected a few days ago and which will eventually amount to $10,000, will be ex pended either In subsidizing a weekly paper or In putting lecturers In the field.

Haller, the new thoughers went to Elmwood park for an outing. A play under the direction of Harry Dora, "Won by Wireless," will be given at the Lyric to night. "HONEST" BOY GETS PURSE Highly Complimented by tho School Principal Who Thought Ho Know. A New Jerseyman tells of a little colored boy who found a pocketbook and took It to tha principal of the school. "I found this In the hall, Mr. Chalks, he said. "It's got a dollar bill and fifteen pennies in it." "Leave it here for a few days," saldth school man. "But what if nobody belongs to It? Do I get It for miner' "Yes." The colored boy went away, and tn a fw hours a little Italian boy rapped on th principal' door. "I lost my mother' money," he said, sheepishly. "I brung it to school and now I ain't got It." j "Wa the money In a purser "Yea. air, a leather pure." "How much did you have?" "A dollar and fifty cents." "Can you describe the money?" "They waa, now let me see they waa half a dollar, and now, two quarters snd a dime and a nickel." "A pocketbook was found today, but you have not described the money," said the principal. "I am inclined to think you are a little rascal, i Deiieve tnat you and the boy who found the money are working In collusion, and that he put you up to come here. You ought to get together better on your facts." The little Italian denied everything and made hi eacape. A week later the prin cipal turned the treasure over to the col ored boy, no other claimant having ap peared. "You are a fine, honest boy, Sammy." said Mr. Chalks. "You will enjoy the money much more now than If you had pent it without trying to find the owner. "Yes. sir," replied the virtuous Samuel, modestly. Next day a truant officer overheard a conversation between the colored boy and a little Ylddlsher. - "lld you honxst find a pocketbook, 8mr . "Yes." "And you took It to Mr. Chalksr ."Sure I did." said the darkey. "But I got the money changed first," Newark News. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Bif Returns.

He knows what It has done for him, and his gratitude la boundless. "Many a man Is In the same sort of boat that I floundered in," said this merchant in relating his Neal Institute experience. "Why, I lost nearly a whole year's business on account of my indulgence in liquor. When I be gan to compare the losses I sustained with the old surplus I once knew, I concluded that If I didn't at once stop drinking, drink would soon put me entirely down and out. It startled me as I looked back and realized how much business had gotten away from me, simply because I was not In condi tion to properly care for It." It was with his mind made up to quit that this merchant very sensibly chose the Neal Way to release from drink's o (Writ plainly.) m piano T bondage. He went to the Neal Insti tute, and In three short days left that home-like place with all desire for liquor absolutely gone. The hard drinker who tries to stop drinking of his own accord falls nine time out of ten. There la a clearly-defined reason for this. He has within him a craving and resist less desire that upsets all good Inten tions and will power. The so-called "liquor appetite" ls really the result of accumulated alcoholic poison In the system of every excessive drinker. Nature cannot expel this poison. It must be neutralised and then elimin ated. This is just what the Neal Treatment does, and the victim ot drink thus escapes all the tortures that come to one who tries to stop without such proper and necessary medical help. The Neal Treatment consists of the administration by regular physicians, who are In constant attendance, of a perfectly harmless vegetable remedy taken internally, with positively no hypodermic injections. At the Neal Institute, 1502 S. 10th St, Omaha, Neb., guests enjoy all tha comforts and privacy of home, club or hotel.
