phy might be considered remarkable In
anyone at RS, but It Is doubly so in Miss
Crosby, for she has been blind almost from
her birth. The sincerity of her creed Is
beyond question. It shows itself in her
hymns, some of which are truly poetic,
and all of which breathe faith and devo
tion. It is worth while in these days 'of
nervous unrest to pay a passing tribute to
her long career of cheerfulness and serenity.

In the suit for J5.UU0 damages filed in dis
trict court by W. A. Cox against Ixiuis
Nelson, a saloon keeper, find the Sto'rz
Brewing company, a point new In cases of
this kind Is raised by the plaintiff.
Cox alleges In his petition he went into
the saloon of the defendant on South Six
teenth street for refreshments. He alleges
Nelson struck him and so bruised his arm
that mortification set In and the member
became stiff at the elbow and of no fur
ther use. He sets up under the ruling of
the supreme court in the case of Clancy
against the Barker Hotel company that
Nelson was responsible for his safety in
the saloon; ho was a guest at the saloon
and therefore entitled to hospitable treat
ment and the saloonman was responsible
for any Injury that might come to him.
In the case of Clancy against Barker,
Clancy, a boy, was shot accidentally by a
boy employed as a bellhop at the Barker
hotel. Suit was brought for damages, and
the supreme court held Clancy was entitled
to recover, as the hotel man was responsi
ble for the safety of his guests.

referred recently as planning: on a tour of
the world In pursuit of the. American fleet.
The two young women are neighbors, re
siding at 7i1 and TOO I'ark avenue, re
spectively, and are Intimate friends. They
are making detailed arrangements for a
gay voyage, though Miss McPherson says:
"We are not positive as yet that our
good Vnele Sam will permit It, though we
feel all but certain. I know a report Is out
that the government has given Its per
mission, but we have not yet received such
notice." (
Miss McPherson is a cousin of Captain
John Rumsey Sanford, paymaster of tfcs
steamer New York, who is making the tour
with that vessel. And it Is through the
agency of Captain Sanford that the two
Omaha girls are making their negotiations.
They conceived the Idea through a simple
love for travel and adventure and sub
mitted it to t lie captain, who at once ap
proved it and took It up with the proper
authorities at Washington.
The young women plan on leaving Omaha
the middle of June and sailing from San
Francisco soon after, meeting the fleet at
Hawaii July 6 ami remaining In the rear of
It until It touches port again on the eastern
coast of the Vnlted States, when It shall
have completed Its circle of the globe.
Mrs. Sanford. wife of the captain. It to
bo in Omaha en route to San Francisco
about April 10. She will remain here on a
visit two weeks, proceeding to San Fran
cisco where the fleet arrives Mav B, and
where she will meet her husband. Mrs.
Sanford will remain In San Francisco, then,
until the arrival of Misses McPhason and
Mi Shane and accompany them on the mail

INDIAN CASE THROWN BACK
Uuestion of Boot leaning by Iteds .Not
lleelded by I nlted States
Supreme Court.
The question of the criminality of In
troducing liquor on Indian reservations by
Indians is still undecided as far as the
appeal In the Simeon Hallowell case to
tho I'nlted States supreme court is con
cerned. That august body has refused to
decide the case upon the certificate from
the circuit court of appeals to the higher
court. The matter remains with the cir
cuit court of appeals.
A copy of the decision has Just been
received by I'nlted States Attorney Gobs,
from the clerk of the I'nlted Stales su
preme court.
Hallowell was convicted by a Jury in the
United Slates district court In Omaha of
taking liuuoi onto the reservation. The
case was at once appealed to the circuit
court of appeals and was argued at the
Denver sitting of that court In September
1IHI6. The defense which was conducted
by. Thomas I.. Sloan, himself a member
of the Omaha tribe of Indians and he
held that the Indians being citizens, of
fice holders and otherwise, accorded the
full rights of citizenship, were amendable
only to I be state laws, could no longer be
held as wards of the government and were
entitled to exercise all the rights of citi
zenship as accorded to other citizens of
the state of Nebraska.
Vntil the matter is definitely decided by
one of the courts it Is not probable that
any of the cases now on the federal docket
pertaining to the Introduction of liquor
onto Initial) reservations will he tried.
