Dill Which la Intended to Shut Oat
I'lratlral Sheets.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Feb. 4. tPpeclal.l-Fltla of
Douglas Introduced a hill In the houso
which proposes to make life a burden to
vandal newspapers, that rlass of sheets
which systematically clip news from the
columns of real newspapers and then seek
to deceive, the public Into believing that
they ara giving It Information that has
not before appeared la other papers. Mom-
tHe vallb of Charcoal
Vevr People Know llonr I set a I it ,
Presenilis: Health and Heant.
Nearly everybody knowa that charcoal i
tha safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realise Its
valua when takvn Into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal la a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; It Is not a dnsK at all,
but simply absorbs tho gases und Impurities
always prcsen. In the stomach nnd Intes
tlnea and carries them out of the system.
Charcoul sweetens tho breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eutlns onions and
other odorous vegelablea.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
tha complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
it absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In tha stomach and bowels; It disin
fects the mou'.h and tluoat from the poison
of catarrh. 1
All druggists sell charcoal In one form or
another, but probably the beet charcoal
and the most for tha money i n Ftusrt's
Charcoal I-oseugea; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoul, umj
oilier harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather In the form of lame, pleasant
tustlng losanaes, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
Tha dally use of these loxengea will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion. . sweetar
breath and purer blood, and tha beauty of
It Is, that r.o possible harm can rceult from
lhlr continued use, Put on the contrary,
traat benefit.
A Buffalo physulsn in speaking of ihe
benefits of charcoul. sayi: "1 advise
aUuarl'a Charcoal Lozenges to all patient
suffering from gas In atomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify the
lireMh. mouth and throat; I also believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they coat hut twenty-five
cauls a box at drug stores, and although in
aomu hiuk a patent preparation, yet 1 be
lieve I get mora and better charcoal In
Btuart's Charcoul Losepgra than In any of
the ucUlnurf charcoal tablvts."
bera who have looked Into the character
and objects of tills bill cordially commend
It as a fair and Just piece of legislation;
one, too, which it will be embarrassing to
oppose. The question has been raised:
-Will the alleged newspapers that practice
auch methods aa this bill seeks to outlaw
have the audacity to come out In the oten
and oppose the bill or seek to Influence
members to vote against It?"
The bill is brief and contains these two
sections:
Section 1. Any person or corporation who
bv labor or expense shall acquire, gather
or compile for publication In this state any
Informat'on concerning current events com
monly known ns news for the benefit of
his or Its subscribers or patrons, shall have
tho right of property In the Information or
news so acquired, which shall not be loat
or affected bv the publication thereof.
Sec. 2. It shall be unlawful for any per
son nr corporation to appropriate tho
property in such news or Information so
acquired or to use the same for repub
lication without the consent of the owner,
and for any such unlawful appropriation
or use of such property the owner shall be
entitled to recover damages In an action at
law In the same way and to the same ex
tent as for the appropriation of other prop
erty. Such owner shall also be entitled
upon .Application to any Judge In the dis
trict of such publication or appropriation
to equitable relief by writ of Injunction,
restraining such appropriation or use. fin
republication within forty-eight hours ex
cept with the permission of the owner of
such property, and on complaint for vio
lation of such writ of Injunction it shall
lie sufficient to show republication within
the tltm? prohibited and to allege failure to
seoure permission for such republication.
Another anti-bucket shop bill has been
introduced In the house. Hogrefe of
niehaiilson Is the author of It. The bill
first defines- bucket shops In these terms;
Bectinn 1. That all places where stork,
bonds, live stock, grain and any and all
other securities and all other produce are
bought and sold tin futures or margins or
where there is no actual delivery of the
thing or things bought and sold, or where
the margins only are paid to the vendor
or vendee, phall be known and designated
as bucket shops.
This bill provides a pernlty of from $200
to 1300 fine Tor the fiat violation of .this
act and six months Imprisonment In the
county Jail for the second offense, that Is
where the guilty party be a person or per
sons; If It be a corporation the latter Is
made liable to "the forfeiture of Its char
ter. The owner of any building In which
a bucket shop under the terms of this act
may be operated is made subject to a fine
of from "00 to ll.OeO and police officers
and sheriffs are required to file com
plaints Whenever such violations of this
act come to their knowledge.
The first anti-bucket shop bill in the
house wus Introduced by Ward of Sarpy.
It is II. R. 143, but Is not regarded as
quite as sweeping In Its provisions aa
the Hogrefe bill.
It may be stated for the benefit of the
curious that neither of these- measures will
get through without the most effective. In
terference and opposition which the bucket
shop lobby can produce. Representatives
of this clasp of business are on hand,
ready to paaa out freely and fully all
the suggestion which members may wlnh
Irv the enlightenment of themselves along
these, lines, to suy nothing of more per
Ruamive elements.
The special committee from the house
and aenute to Investigate and report on
the binding twine plant In the Kansas
stata penitentiary at Lansing, of which
Representative Ernst Is chairman, has
formulated but not yet presented its re
port. It has been learned, however, that
tha committee heartily recommends tha
eatabllshment of a similar plant, In com
pliance with the bill Introduced for that
purpose in the Nebraska penitentiary.
The committee In Its report will inform
the house and senate that the Kansas
plant, which Is in Its sixth year, is mora
than paying for itself, that In the last
three years its net earnings have been
tbS,0W, that besides paying for itself It
turns Into tho state treasury large sums
and saves thousands of dollars yearly to
the farmers of the slate. It will aay
thnt the plant turns out the very best
twine at 2 cents a pound on an average
less than the trust sella It for. It will
sny that by the expenditure of $20,000 tha
capacity of the Kansas plant could be
doubled, that Its dally capacity now is
from 10,1)00 to 12,(100 pounds, that seventy
firti men are employed by the plant and
that the only expert needed around the
plant is a superintendent, who draws a
salary of $1S a month.
The general government probably will
take a hand In Irrigation legislation now
pending before the Nebraska legislature.
Engineer John. E. Fields, who ia con
nected with the government projects, an
nounced today that he would ask that
the (ilfflu bill be amended so that the In
terior department could, by the right of
eminent domain, take over any private
Irrigation ditch.

templates an Immense Irrigation canal

and others, it Is said, own most of the
land that will be benefited by the canal
they propose constructing and that a sys
tem of tenant farming will be introduced.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. -President Roose
velt sent a letter to Secretsry Hitchcock
on the subject of authority Mr granting
contracts for the education of lndlins In
denominational schools.
The president suys that Inasmuch as the
legal authority exists to grant the request
of the Indians, unquestionably they are
entitled by moral right to have their
moneys used to educate the children at
the schools they choose. The president
directs that the Interior department con
tinue the practice, unless congress directs
otherwise or the courts hold that the de
cision of the Department of Justice to tills
effect Is wrong. The president also urges
the passage of the I.aeey Mil, authorising
the allotment of annuities In severalty to
the Indians in the same wa- as their land
Is allotted.
The president's letter follows:
WHITK HOCSK. WASHINGTON. D. C.,
I'cb S ISOfi. To the Secret-TV of the In

dian affairs In connection with the contract
with St. Labre's school on the Tongue
River reservation stands by Itself and will
be submitted to the attorney general for
his consideration and report.
May Have o nations.
As regards the general question I have re
calved from the attorney general, under
date of February 2, n letter, a copy of
which Is enclosed. Karly In 1302 petitions
on behalf of the various Catholic and Epis
copal achools were brought to my atten
tion by certain ecclesiastics and laymen,
who requested the Interior department to
distribute the rations and annuities through
tne mission scnoois or their aevei-ul
churches when the children were in tha
care of those schools. The attorney gen
eral decided that this request was illegal
and could not properly be granted. Over a
year afterward the .-equfst was made, orig
inally on behair of the certain Catholic
schools in 19i3. also on behalf of a Lutheran
school in 1904. that where there were In
dian moneys held In trust for the lndlins
by the secretary of the Interior, the inter
est on these Indian moneys being distrib
uted among the Individual Indians or in
such other ways as the secretary of the in
terior might direct, and where certain In
dians petitioned that the moneys so dis
tributed to them should be used for the
support of the particular denominational
school which they desired their children to
attend, this petition should be granted.
The question raised was, of course, whollv
different from that originally raised oh
behalf of the Kplscopnl church and of the
Catholic church. This new reouest was
submitted to Ihe Department of Justice
and the department d elded, as set forth
In the accompanying report, that the pro
hibition of the law Is as to the use of pub
lic mnneys for sectarian schools and did not
extend to moneys belonging to the Indians
themselves and not to the public, and that
these moneys belonging to the Indians
themselves might be applied in accordance
with the desire of the Indians for the
support of the schools to which they were
sending their children.
Indians Should Control Money.
There was in my Judgment no question
that. Inasmuch as the legal authority ex
isted to grant the request of tho Indians,
they were entitled as a matter of moral
right to have the moneys coming to them
used for the education of their children
at the schools of their choice. Care must
be taken, of course, to see that any pe
tition by the Indians is genuine and that
the money appropriated for a given school
represents only tne pro rata proportion to
which the Indians making the petition ara
entitled. But if these two conditions are
fulfilled, It is, in my opinion, Just and
right that the Indians themselves should
have their wishes respected when they
request that their own money not the
money of the public he applied to tho
support of certain schools to which they
desire to send their children. The practice
will be continued by tha department unless
congress should decree to the contrary, or,
of course, unless the courts should decide
that the decision of the Department of
Justice Is erroneous.
It Is. however, greatly to be desired that
the bill Introduced by Representative Lacey
and providing for permission to allot these
annuities in severalty to the Indiana ex
actly as Is now done with land, should
be enacted into law. Its enactment and
administration would prevent the raising
of any question of this character, for each
individual Indian would then be left free
to use the money to which ha is entitled
outright on his own initiative Instead of
having It used for him by the secretary of
the Interior in consequence of his petltpui.
I earnestly hope that congress will at onca
ennct this bill Into law.
Tha special case of the St. Labre's school
stands by Itself, the question being whether
tha contract entered into Is one authorized
by tne ftudlng of the Department of Jus
tice In January, lo4. or whether It Is
one of tho cases bidden under the decision
of the Department of Justice. 1002. The
attorney general will speedily report tha
categorv In which this case comes.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
jCommlselonor of Indian Affairs Leupp, In
an Interview regarding the sectarian school
question, today snld that all these contracts
were made under a previous administration
and that ha had not yet had time to re
view them. He said he had no knowledge
of the subject except from a Very hasty
glance through the records of the Indian
bureau. He stated that when the St.
Lab re school claim. In the Tongue river
reservation, came to bis attention through
a claim presented to the Indian bureau
by. the school, he held up action on the
case and directed thnt payment be with
held pending a request he made to pave
the matter presented to the attorney gen
eral for an opinion as to tha authority
of making such payment. If the law wns
perfectly clear on tha subject, he, said,
he could see no objection to the claim.
He suggested that a determination of the
matter In the courts would ba welcomed.
There can be no objection," he said, "to
any one bringing Injunction proceedings
which could bring about n review and
settlement of the whole subject In tha
courts."

SUCRKTAHY TA FT TALK" TARIFFS
Appeals to Honse Committee fop Re
vision of Philippine Hrhednle.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Secretary Taft
was heard by the house committee on ways
and means today In favor of a revision of
tha Philippine tariff. Schedules were pre
sented, having been prepared by the Philip
pine commission, and subsequently sub
mitted to conference between the commis
sion and the secretary of war.
Colonel Edwards, chief of the Insular
bureau of the War department, preceded
Secretary Taft In discussing the question.
Ha said the Philippine tariff might be con
sidered an 18V per cent tariff, while the
proposed revision would make It about a
a per rent tariff: The revision, however,
could not be considered as an Increase all
along t lie :iue, us many articles had been
changed from a specific duty to an ad
valorem duty, and In these cases reduc
tions generally had been made. Notable
Instsners of decreases are In machinery.
The necessity for the revison, was slated
bv Secretary Taft. to lie two-fold; first, to
admit at a lower duty to the Islands arti
cles necessary for their development, and
second, the production of an Increased rev
enue. The tariff applies alike to all coun
tries. The committee took no uct'on
