UNCOLN, March 19. In the rooms of
the Nebraska State Historical society at
the Btate university there la on exhibition
a tablet of white bronie that la to be placed
upon one of the big redwood trees In a
park at Santa Crus. Cat., In memory of the
late J. Sterling Morton. This tablet la
about two feet aquar and ! raat with Ita
Inscription! standing In bold relief so that
they mar be read at a considerable dis
tance. On the upper left band corner are
the words. "Plant Truths." and upon the
upper right hand corner the words, "Plant
Trees." Below these words is a design
composed of four oak leavea and an acorn
on a single twig, beneath which la set for
the significance or the tablet as follows:
"In memory of J. Sterling Morton of Ne
braska, father of Arbor day; born April 22.
18.12; died April 27, 1902. By order of
Nebraska State Historical society."
The tablet was manufactured In Des
Moines at the order of W. W. Cox of Cort
land, who conceived the Idea while touring
California that Mr. Morton ahould be re
membered aa have been many other' men
of national prominence In the naming of
the big trees abounding In the park at
Santa Crux. He asked leave of the park
authorities there to name one of the trees
after Mr. Morton and was assured that at
would be granted If the proper tablet were
furnished. At the last meeting of the his
torical society a committee, with Mr. Cox
as chairman, waa appointed to secure the
tablet and provide for Its Installation. The
tree picked out to bear the name of Mr.
Morton, and to which this tablet will be
fastened, la about 270 feet high and is be
lieved to antedate the pyramids. There are
others much larger In the park.
Pending Its being sent to California the
tablet Is shown at the historical rociety's
room beneath the bust of Mr. Morton.
Arbor Pay Proclamation.
Governor Mickey today Issued the follow
ing Arbor day proclamation:
The recurring spring season Is again at
hand, bringing with It that holiday which
la distinctively of Nebraska origin and
which has here received Its most complete
recognition. .
The observance of nearly all public festl
vala Is actuated by motive- of sentiment,
but Arbor day In commemorated because of
the practical value and utility of the acts
which emaniite from It. Through itr bene
ficent Int'ujuce Nebraska's tret-less pi. i inn
hnve been dotted over with beautiful
groves, affording grateful shade during the
heat of summer, protection from the blasts
of winter, fuel for home consumption and
which have also hail a marked effect In
making the climatic conditions more favor
able for agricultural pursuits. The denud
ing of the natural foretits for lumbering
purposes has occasioned physical disturb
ances, a study of the effects of which are
more or leas agitating the scientific world,
but It la certain that any resultant Injjry
can be neutralised by the systematic con
servation of vemajnlng forests and the
planting of trees in hurmony with that
progressive spirit of the times which takes
Into consideration the needs of the future
as well aa of the present.
By virtue of the authority vested In me
by law 1 do hereby proclaim and designate
Wednesday. April 22, 1!K)3, as Arbor day,
and I earnestly urge every cltlsen of the
state, and especially the pupils of the public
tnd private school, to observe the day by
the general planting of trees an.1 the beau
tifying of lawns aim premises. The occasion
! nf added Interest this year because of
the death since last Arbor day of . Hon. J.
nid nne of Nebraska's most honored citl-
y.ens. I suggest thnt an extra tree be
planted in memory of him who did so much
for the state and whose practical Ideas
concerning forestry are proving of especial
value.
Supreme Court Opinions.
The Rlverton Review will have another
chance for Its white alley. The supreme

new trial the ease brought against It by
Ed Fuller, the town marshal, who was the
subject of a terrific roast at the hands of

Amanda B. Williams and edited by her
husband, Paris Williams. The story Is an
odd one.

young man set up and run In the paper
without bis parents knowing of It till after
it wss printed a scathing sttack upon the
newly appointed town marshal, whom It

Mrs. Williams appealed.

Smith nets w Trial.
Raymond Smith wss ensrged In the dis
trict court of Sheridan county, says the su
preme court, upon an information which
is a bsd one, and the case Is reversed.
There were two counts In this information.
One sought to chsrge him with burglari
ously entering snd breaking into the home
of Hanna Swanson with the ln'ent and for
the purpose of ravishing her, and the sec
ond charged burglary. The latter waa dis
missed, snd Smith pleaded guilty to the
first count and was sentenced to a year.
An arrest In Judgment was at once taken
and tho appeal to the supreme court per
fected. The attorney general did not try
to Justify the Information, which the court
says wss defective In that it did not state"
what overt acts Smith committed to show
his Intentions toward the woman.
Decides Indian Case.
A decision of very great Importance to
the people of Thurston county Is that In
the case of Ianlel Porter against Ne-da-we
Parker, Involving the application or non
appllcatlon of the Nebraska law of descent
to Indians. There are some 1.200 Indians
In that county and there are 100 or more
rases resting upon th5 decision in this one.
The facta and the contentions of both par
ties thereto were stipulated to the court
recently, snd sn esrly decision asked for,
as nany titlea depended upon the final de
cree of the courts. The decision Is that
the lsw of descent applies to Indians just
as well aa to white men. It says:
"An allottee and patentee of lands In
severality pursuant to an act of congress
entitled an act to provide for tho sale of
a part of the Omaha reservation to the
atate of Nebraska, Is selred of an equitable
estate In fee, which, upon his death, be
fore Issuance of the final patent therefor
by the United States descends to his heir
or helrs-at-law according to the laws of
Inheritance of this state."
Upon one side ot the case was the father
of the patentee, on the other hta widow,
and the question waa whether or not the
nearest kin takes the use and possession of
the allotment so made free from the dower
or other life estate of the widows. Philip
Porter, or as he was known In the tribe,
Mebaska, took his allotment and patent for
a quarter section of land In 1882. The law
In force at that time, sn act of congress,
provided that the United States should, hold
In trust for the Indians for a period of
twenty-five years these allotments, and it
the end ot that time to convey It to htm
or his heirs absolutely. This was done so
that the Indian could not at once after
receiving the allotment sell It to some
white speculator and after living up the
proceeds become a dependent upon the
government; In other words, the purpose
was to encourage Industry and thrift among
the tribesmen.
Porter died In 1889, leaving A daughter,
Talnenga, and a widow, Me-da-we. The
daughter afterward died,' and the widow
has continued in possession of the land.
Daniel Porter, bis father, laid claim to it
on the ground that the Inheritable char
acter of theproperty became auspended by
the fact that the fee title was not In him,
but In the government, and would not pass
till the end of the twenty-flve-yoar period.
The widow Insised that she acquired an
interest under the patent, that when her
husband died the daughter Inherited his
rights and estate, which In tuin deacended
to her upon her daughter's death.
The court holds with the widow. It
ssys that Porter had an equitable estate,
that Is, one that he could enforce In law,
at the end of the twenty-five years, and
that bis daughter first, then his wife. In
herited this estate, and not his next of
kin. The question of dower Is not passed
upon, as the widow Inherited It all through
Talnenga, but attorneya say It will follow
that a widow of an Indian, as the laws ot
descent apply equally, will get dower Just
the same aa the relict of a white man. It
holds, too, that if this did not apply the
father would be In no better position, as,
should, he die before the end of the twenty
five year period, assuming his position to
be correct, the estate would either go to
collateral heirs or escheat to the state.

Signs of Polluted Blood.
There is nothino; no repulsive looking anil disgusting as an old gore.
You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with it until the
patience is exhausted, and the very night of the old festering, sickly looking
place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate.
A chronic sore is the very lest evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy
and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking elown under
the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like
mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im
pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate
non-healing sores of the most offensive character.
Often an inherited taint breaks out in frightful eating sores upon the limbs
or face in old age or middle life. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood is
always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, boaps and tiov.ders ran
do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will never
heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and the deadly germs
and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S. this ran be accomplished the polluted
S. S. S. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order
aud at the saint time tones up the system attd builds up the general health.
