Ke Solution of Tucker Law.
The legal department of atata haa not yet
solved tha Judge Tucker jury law puxslla
and the Indlcatlona are It will be several
days before tha anawer la finally dltcov
ered.
The Question la a aerlous one because
during the month of November there Is
imuntlv mora cases tried by Jury than In
any other month In the year, i Bhoxftd a
prisoner ba tried under the law and with a
Jury aelected under Ita provlaiona n may
Invalidate tha verdict of tha Jury ahould
the objection ba raised.
According to tha legal department tha
quickest solution of tho conundrum would
De tor a canvassing ooaru m i m u iu
hct tha panel under tha law and then have
someone bring mandamus proceedings and
test the law In the supremo court. If the
.court cannot find an answer. to tha problem
rn the law, ckfe'lDe' declared unconstitu
tional. Ilka moat of the other lawa enacted
by tha late legislature, and tha people can
operate under the old system of seleatlng
Juries. Anyhow, a little red apple will ba
given tha first lawyer who sends In tha beat
anawer to tha legal department.
The state oil office la down and out.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Nov, 7.-8peclal Tele
gram Attorney General Moody today
sent to Secretary of Interior Hitchcock
an opinion In the. Aamua Boyeen cam, in
which he upholds tha contention of Sec
retary Hitchcock that the act of congress
granting Boysen certain preferential privi
leges to prospect on the Shoshone or Wind
River reservations only gives Boysen the
right to prospect over 180,000 acres covered
by hla original Indian leaaea and not even
over thla territory until such a time as
government surveys are approved.
Asmus Boysen, who resides In Council
Bluffs, held under leases from Indians
mining rlghta to some 1W.0OO acres of land
In Shoshone Indian reservation. The act
of congress throwing this land open to
white settlement cancelled these mining
privileges and gave Boysen the right to
select 140 square acres In lieu of privileges
he had held under the Indian leaaea and
gave him further right to go upon the
original ISO.OOO-acre atrip and juroapect.
. He Is given the right to select his 640
acres thirty days ahead of others who
might desire to settle,
Boysen, It Is asserted, through tha In
fluence of Secretary Shaw, obtained per
mission from President Roosevelt to roam
all over the several million of acrea and
to prospect in search of a selection which
would be most advantageous to him and
hla company. ,
Prospective Settlers Make Protest.
Naturally there were protests against this
method of procedure and men having In
view settling up this country placed their
complaints In the hands of Senator Clark
and Representative Mondell of Wyoming.
These gentlemen laid the matter before
the president and Secretary Hitchcock and
the entire question waa submitted to the
attorney general for an opinion on the
law which opens this ceded Indian country
to settlement.
Secretary Hitchcock has steadfastly
maintained that Boysen had right only to
prospect over the 180,000 acres held under
the original Indian leases, and not to roam
at "large over the entire area of reserva
tion. He further held that Boysen could
not go upon the reserve at all until the
United States government survey had been
approved. Theae surveys have been prac
tically completed, but not approved.
The attorney general In hla Interpretation
of law aa handed down today upholds the
contention of the secretary of the interior.
land Boysen will not Be permitted upon the
'st-eservatlnn at all for nurnoaes of pros
pecting until the surveys have been ap
proved, and then he Will be restricted in
his Investigations In hla effort to locate
his 840-acre tract to the 180.000-acre area
originally held by hint 'under the Indian
leases.- '
President Roosevelt has signed the com
mission of Thomas V. Davis of Rock
Springs, Wyo., to be register of the land
office at Evanston, Wyo.," to succeed
Charles Kingston, resigned.
Change In Depnrtsaent Methods.
, President Roosevelt has , approved the
recommendation for certain reforms In the
routine business of th-War department;
which recommendations ' Were prepared
under the direction 'of Acting Secretary
Oliver. These changed have been brought
about the action of the president in
creating the Keep commission. His letter
criticized the methods of work In connec
tion with the papers of both the' Army and
Navy Departments, and General Oliver
took the matter up at- once. Tte sug
gestions of General Oliver were considered
by the general staff and a very formidable
report was made, which received the ap
proval of the acting secretary and after
wards the approval of the president.

pitched battle with a ring and seconds.
It lasted twenty-three rounds and ended
when Branch waa knocked down and atruck
the right aide of his head against the

It was not considered .that the Injuries
were very serious, but Monday morning
Branch's condition was auch that It be
came necessary to let hla condition be
known to the authorities. Young Branch
was taken to the hospital and an opera
tion was determined upon. It was per
formed last night by Surgeons Finney of
Baltimore and Kerr of Washington, as
sisted by the academy medical staff. It
waa thought to be successful, but a turn
for the worse took place at daylight this
morning and the patient died at 10 o'clock,
not having regained consciousness. Hla
father and mother were with him at hla
death.
Meriweather it. also In the hospital aa
a result of the injuries he received In the
fight and for that reason the authorities
have not put him under arrest. The ques
tion of hla accountability to the civil au
thorities on a charge of manslaughter has
also been discussed. He la suffering with
a sprained wrist and a bruised face.
Branch was a second class man and
Meriweather a third, but tha latter is
slightly older, being 19 years of aga laat
January, while Branch waa not 19 until
August. Both have anme reputation aa
athletes. Branch aa a wrestler and Meri
weather aa a foot ball player. It Is un
derstood the ' fight took place because

ported Meriweather for a breach of dla
clpline. No -one is allowed to see the
latter, but It Is reported that ha feels tha
matter most keenly.
SCHEME TO AID IMMIGRANTS
mahlp Companies May Be Gnllty
of Violating; Uwi of
t'nlted Stntes.
St
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-A novel scheme
haa been brought to the attention of the
Immigration authorities to Induce immigra
tion from foreign countries to the LInlted
States. Thus far the plan ia known to be
In operation only in Italy, but It probably
will be extended to other European coun
trlea. Two companies, knowji respectively
aa "Unions Merldlonalie" and "La Ligure
Americana," have been organised to Issue
to prospective Immlgranta policies of In
surance that they will be landed on ar
rival In America. The premium charged
for eaclt policy Is $2, the companies guar
anteeing to refund the Immigrant's trans
portation charge In the event of his de
portation from thla country. A number of
ateamahlp lines are repreaented aa the
sponsora for the Insurance companies. The
matter haa been investigated by the law
officers of the Immigration bureau and an
opinion baa been rendered that the scheme
la In violation of express legislative prohi
bition. It Is held that under the law steam
ship 'companies may not offer anything in
the way of Inducement to encourage Immi
gration to the United States. What action
may be taken by the government authori
ties has not yot been determined.

NEW SENSATIONS IN LAND CASES
Alliance Official Predicts Revelatlaas
Before Grand Jary that Will At

Involve Old Soldiers.
I
Frank Lambert of Portland, Ore., who
waa released on $2,000 ball Monday even
ing to appear before the federal grand
Jury and answer to the charge of suborna
tion of perjury, was Immediately served
with a summons to appear aa a wttnesa be
fore the grand Jury to testify in the cases
against George F. Ware, the South Da
kota preacher and cattleman who haa
100,000 or more acrea of public lands under
fence In northwestern Nebraska.
It appeara Lambert waa the agent for
Ware and othera to procure aoldlers' home
stead flllnga on the lands and did a thriv
ing business, receiving tSO for each filing
obtained from an old soldier, and that he
succeeded In getting hundreds of them.
These tilings subsequently were relin
quished or leased to the cattlemen or land
grabbers for a period, of ninety-nine years,
and It is upon this tenure that thousands
of acres of land are being held up there
under fence and are called or repreaented
to be deeded fir leaaed land.
Sensation la Promised.
An - official connected with the inveatl
gatlona of these land matters from tha
Alliance district said: "The investlgationa
before the grand Jury will be sensational
In the extreme. You people down here at
Omaha have no Idea of the extent of these
fraudulent land entries. The cattlemen
are not alone the guilty ones; In fact they
are about the least guilty of the whole
bunch. The land frauds are much on the

Alan n Few Fneta on the fame "nfcjeet.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vegetarian
ism and many other fada along tha same
line.
Restauranta may be found In the larger

tended to human stomachs, and almost
make ua believe that our aturdy ancestors,
who lived four-score yeara In robust health
on roast beef, pork and mutton, must
have been grossly Ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to do
than formulate theories about the food
they ate. A warm welcome waa extended
to any kind, from bacon to ecorna.
A healthy appetite and common sense are
excellent guides to follow In matters of
diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats la undoubtedly the beat.
Aa compared with grains and vegetablea,
meat furnishes the most nutriment In a
highly concentrated form, and is digested
and assimilated more quickly than vege
tables and grains. .
Dr. Julius Remmson, on thla subject,
says: "Nervous persona, people run down
In health and of low vitality should eat
meat, and plenty of It. If the digestion Is
too feeble at first. It may be easily cor
rected by the regular use of Stuart'a Iya.

these excellent tablets taken after dinner
will dlgeat several thousand gralna of
meat, eggs and other animal food In three
houra, and no matter how weak the stom
ach may be. no trouble will be experienced
If a regular practice la made of using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to
perfect digestion, and every form of Indi
gestion will be overcomo by their Use."
That large clase of people who come un
