The Backbone
Mighty Nation
is good food food for brain, food for brawn, food that is
strengthening, that gives energy and courage. Without a proper
appreciation of this great fundamental truth no nation can rise
to greatness.
As an article of food, soda crackers are being used more and
more every day, as is attested by the sale of nearly 400,000,000
packages of Uneeda Biscuit, which have come to be recog
nized as the most perfect soda cracker the world has ever known.
And so Uneeda Biscuit will soon be on every table at
every meal, giving life, health and strength to the American people,
thus in very truth becoming the backbone of the nation.

SORROW FOR DEAD PRINCE

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. IS. The Russian
press today expresses genuine and hearty
norrow at the death yesterday of Prince
Serglus Troubetskoy. the foremost liberal
In Russia and former president of tho
zemstvo congress, whose ability and sin
cerity were admired and appreciated even
among his strongest opponents,
v His death removes a restraining Influence
over the Moscow students and may cause
the closing of the university. The council
of professors In the prince's absence yes
terday was unable to prevent a big meeting
of students In the university building,
which was' largely attended by outsiders.
Prince Troubetskoy's funeral will take
place In Moscow.
MOSCOW, Oct. 13. Voicing the sentiments
of the extreme wing of the Russian re
formers, Maxim Oorky today expressed
sincere sorrow at the death of Prince
Troubetskoy as a man and a Russian, but
declared that Russia had nothing to hope
for from the reported actions of such men
as Prince TToubetskoy. He said:
I regret the death of Prince Troubetskoy
as a frank, Just and honest man, not as
a representative of the liberal party, which
can never effect great , reforms in Russia.
The ancestors of Troubetskoy, Galitztn and
Golovln went hand in hand with Imperial
ism. The taint is still In the blood. They
are incapable of realising their splendid op
portunities to know and further the needs
of the people. The revolution will come
soon. like an avalanche, when least ex
pected. The disorders at Moscow will Der-
naps cease temporarily, but will be re
sumed In a month or two with renewed
force.
The case against Gorky has not been
beard, but the Russian writer reiterated
his determination not to ermlt the pro
ceedings to be dropped. 'He said he would
force the govern me nf to bHng him to trial.

PARIS, Oct 13. National quarters here
show growing impatience at President Cas
tro's failure thus far to withdraw his of
fensive action toward M. Tagny, the
French charge d'affaires at Caracas.
Although no definite determination has
been reached. Intimations are made that
the situation may not permit of indefinite
delay, as President Castro's action, amount
ing to a refusal to withdraw his offensive
action, may lead French public opinion to
require the government to adopt more de
cisive measures to redress the offense.
The Patrle today published a dispatch
from Lorlent saying that the French
cruiser Chasseloup-Laubat, which has re
turned there from Newfoundland, will not
be disarmed as was Intended "as It will
make part of a naval division which Is
going to be formed for the purpose of mak
ing a demonstration In Venezuelan waters.
The cruiser has Just completed speed trials
showing that it can Bteam 19 knots."
The foregoing is not confirmed in official
quarters here, but seems to accord with
the growing feeling of Impatience among
the officials and there are intimations that
decisive action will not long be deferred.

ABERDEEN. 8. D., Oct. l.-Fpecll.)-An
Investigation Into the practical workings
of the leasing of Indian lands for grazing
purposes Is In progress at Cheyenne agency,
west of the Missouri river. In South Dakota,
under the direction of an attache of the In
terior department and an attorney repre
senting the Indians' Rights association. The
big cattle raisers, who for many years en
Joyed the free range and who made mil
lions out of the business, are alleged to
have complained to the association, which
In turn complained to the Department of
the Interior, that the leasing system was
not working to the advantage of the In
dians. The present Inquiry, which has been
under way for several weeks, was under
taken as a result of the complaints.
Prior to three years ago a few big stock
men, and cattle syndicate In Sioux City,
Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City and else
where grazed thousands of head of horses
ani cattle on the lands of the Indians of
tha Cheyenne reservation absolutely free,
except for small sums paid "squaw men"
and fialfbreeds who possessed Influence
with the other Indians and who acted as
Vhelr representatives. In 1901 Major Ira
Hatch, the agent at the reservation, under
took to clear the reservation of trespassing
stock. It was estimated that there was
190.CX) head of stock grazing upon the range
at that time for which the Indians received
nothing.
Major Hatch succeeded In putting Into
force the leasing system. A trail six miles
wide by eighty-four miles long, waa opened
across the . reservation to Evarts, the In
dians receiving 25 'cents per head lor all
cattle driven along- the trail, either to
Evarts whence" they are shipped to the big
market centers, or from Evarts, to which
place they are shipped from southern
points and driven along the trail to the
ranges. The west half of the reservation
was then leased for grazing purposes for
a period of five years and the east half
was leased a year ago for a similar term,
all the leases being made with the full
consent of the Indians.
Terms of the Leaaes.
The renters were required to fence the
lands, ' the posts to be sixteen feet apart
and strung wtih four wires. This divided
the reservation Into eight great pastures.
By the. terms of the leases at the end of
five years the fences become the property
Of the ' Indians. In addition, the renters
are required to pasture free for each head
of an . Indian family at least 100 head of
horses , and cattle. The lessees are also
restricted to pasturing not more than one
head of cattle td every thirty acres of land.
wmch assures the permanence of the range
as a food supply for the stock.
As a result of the loaslng system the In
dians have already received In rentals $298,
000, or nearly $25 for every man, woman and
child on. the reservation, the total Indian
population of the reservation being In the
neighborhood of 2,500. But the time la near
lng when the leases will expire and eo
South Dakotans acquainted with the situa
tion charge the cattle barons are seeking to
regain the hold on the reservation whlnh
they fpritierly possessed and are trying to
achieve their ends through the misplaced
sympathy. f the Indians' Rights associa
tion. '. '
The qheyenna reservation Is nearly 100
miles .long and 75 miles wide. It Is con
ceded to be Among the finest grazing lands
In the United States. "Where crops have
beon planted they havja yielded abundantly.
For a long time the cattle men prevented
the Indians from taking land In severalty,
as they knew this action on the part of tha
Indians would hasten the time when the
reservation would be opened for settlement.
As the Influence of the cattlemen has de
creased the Indians have commenced to
take their lands In severalty, and now
nearly all of them have selected their lands.
This leaves an Immense body of fertile soil
which now lies Idle except as it Is used for
grazing purposes, with one head of stock
to e-ery thirty acres. Shoud It be opened
to settlement It will furnish comfortable
homes for thousands ' of white families.
People who have traversed the region say
It Is as fine as any action of the north
west and that when It Is thrown open to
settlement the rush to the Rosebud opening
will be surpassed. It Is believed the In
vestigation at present under way will
hasten the opening of the reservation to
settlement.
