Hannan, formerly prealdent of the First National bank of this dty. now of Boston, to purchase L0Q0 or more acres In Cut-Off from the stats of Iowa under the law em powering the state to dispone of all aban doned river beds, lakes and Islands In the waters of the elate. Hannan claimed that the property which ha sought to purchase from the state under this law formerly was the bed of the Mis souri river and accretions to an Island In ths river, prior to the changing of Its course in 1872, and not an accretion to either bank. The law under which Hannan Bought to purchase waa passed In 1904. but two years later a new law waa passed re tieallng the act of 1904 and providing that any person or corporation having posses sion of the lands for five years, paying taxes upon them and making improvements upon them, should hava thefirst privilege of buying; from the state at an appraised vahie. Judge Mcpherson's ruling yesterday was oa the demurrer of Hannan In the three suits brought by John A. Crelghton, ths Omaha Bridge and Terminal company and Carr and others to enjoin Hannan and Secretary, of State Martin from further proceedings In the matter of surveying the land In controversy or attempting the pur chase and aale of It Hannan on his part set up the contention that the act of 1906 was unconstitutional In that It Impaired the obligation of contract while on the other hand the plaintiffs In the three suits claimed that there had been no contract In hm opinion Judge McPheraon dwelt at length on what constituted a contract and wherein It had been shown that Hannan had fallen short of the acceptance neces sary to complete a contract The court further held that the land sought by Han nan was not within ths act granting ths state the right to sell and again that the art was repealed by the act of 1906. Judge 11 cPb arson held further that no deed or grant could be valid without a grantee and that in this case there had been no acceptance of ths contract and would not and could not be until the price had bean asoertained. As there had been no appraisement consequently there had been no prtoa agreed upon. The overruling of the demurrer on the part of Hannan to the ' suits la question will, n U said, practically end the litiga tion and act aa an estoppel to any further attempt on the part of Hannan to acquire title to the land In question. Judge McPheraon also took up while In the city the matter of the bankruptcy -pro- eedlnge acalnst the Union Transfer com- pany.

The dty council last night as a commit tee of the whole took up the question of paving lower Broadway, although the members of the street fair and carnival committee and the executive committee of the Commercial club were not present as had been anticipated. A communication was received from V. E. Bander, prealdent of the street fair and carnival company. suggesting that the proposed conference be postponed until the members of ths two committees had an opportunity to talk over among themselves the suggestion of contributing the 74,000 left over from last year's carnival towards the paving of Broadway. Mr. Bender in his communica tion stated that several of the member. of the two committees were either out of town or sick and thry had not had any opportunity to talk over the proposition. In the absence of any assurance that the city would receive outside assistance, the j councilman decided, however, last night to recommend to the city council that the contract for the paving of the pottlon of the thoroughfare between Twentieth and Twenty-eighth streets be let at aa early ' data as possible. It is believed that If this portion of Broadway Is pared early this spring that the means for completing the paving to the approach of the motor bridge will be forthcoming before the and of the year. City Treasurer True, Manager Tfi. W. Hart of the water works company and H. A. Searle of the carnival company were present and took part In the Informal dis cussion relative to the Broadway paving;. The propoaltion from 43. H. Scott to revise and compile the dty ordinance up to April L 107. waa referred back to the dty council.

WIEF.D RITES JDF THE MOQUIS Great laakei Charmed by aa ladlaa Bey, Wfc Baadlcs Taesa Fearlessly. "Father Ketch am, as he ia beat know throughout Indian Territory and Oklahoma, has spent a greater part of hla life among tha several Indian tribes In this country and Is now at ths lead of the Indian mis sion a He'speat the Christmas holidays la Oklahoma City, visiting his parents. The Rev. William H. Ketcham 1b hi name. He is director af the Catholic in dlan mireiou bureau In Washington. D. C Talking of the Indians he had met he said. "The Moqul Indiana, who live on ths high mesa country, about eighty miles north east or Flagstaff, Aria., worship the snake, and hold their annual snake dances In order that rain may be sent them from heaven. They have been at war for more than twe centuries with other tribes, and today-they are reduoed to seven small villages They are nominally Catholics, but they still cling to their old religious ceremonies, believing they can . produce rata whea needed for tbelr crops. "Moqul Frank, the 1-year-old son of 'the high priest Ktva, is an adept at handling monster reptiles, and was chosen last sum mer, while I was among them, to lead the snake danoe, carrying a hugs rattler In his mouth. I tried to Induce them to' permit m. to take hi. photograph with the .nak, ta hi mouth, but his father said It would be- an unpardonable ala to show one of their people In that position. Ha? declared that rain would be more difficult to bring- If a picture waa taken of them while dancing. "The Moqul Indians are an agricultural people, many of them attending their little corn patches ten miles from tbelr homes. I havs seen a man trot ten miles, hoe com all day. and trot back in the evening, show ing no fstigue. They think nothing of run nine all day long after an antelope. Their physical endurance la simply wonderful. Their women the splendid housewives and the men do all of the washing and scrub bing for them. ' 'The snake dance Is a most peculiar re llgtoug rite, hut they believe it Is the only way to produce rain. Tha strange part of It IB that for the last few years they re ceived copious showers Immediately after tbelr dance, which makes them earnest be lievera ' "A tent Is erected, and maid ara placed from 71 to W0 large snakes, mostly rattlers of bugs sis, snd a member of the tribe who has been etirely free from sin for at least ons yesr. In front of ths tent Is a deep hole, covered ever with boards. As the medicine man and high priest inarch around ths tent each one of them stops for a second on the boards, each one giv ing three hard kicks with ths heel, making a loud noise. This Is done in order that the dead and departed may know the dance is soon to begin. At a signal of the high priest the tent Is thrown open and each marcher steps In. and each who is lucky enough to pick up a monstsr snake and place It In his mouth. Is accounted ons of tba faithful followers of ths mighty soaks danoe religion. As they march around for hours and hours they chant a song Which la supposed to Imitate rain pattering on the roof. and. strange to aay, they maka a good imitation.
