the face of a lion promissory note wss
concluded In th district court last evening
after occupying two dnys' time. Hoffman

for the last year and a half has been
a resident of Portland, Ore. He left the
note In the hHnds of Attorney C. li.
Bwanson for collection, and when payment
was demanded Clenathan pronounced the
note a forgery. The plaintiff's testimony
was that Hoffman loaned Clenathan IK
and presented two Su checks with date
corresponding to the note and which
Clenathan indorsed and cashed. The de
fense was that this money was loaned
Clenn-than to speculate on th board of
trade and when it was lost Hoffman
wrote the note to square himself with his
wife and asked Clenathan to tell the wife
th same story. Neither Hoffman nor his
wife was present in cmirt io defend

New Fifty-Fire Hundred Dollar Ap
paratus Given Successful Trial
by Firemen.
Th official test of the new to.ioo hook
and ladder truck was made yesterday
afternoon in front of the Grand hotel.
Chief Nicholson took advantage of the op
portunity to make a pretty little exhibition
of the greater part of the fire-flghtlng
paraphernalia and permitted all of the fire
teams to drive their wagons to the scene
and let th men observe the working of
the new truck.
The big truck was put through all of its
practical and fancy evolutions. The sixty
five foot extension ladder was raised and
lowered many times, working automati
cally with swiftness and precision. Frank
Levin, former chief of the fire department,
volunteered to be elevated into the air and
took a seat and a tight hold on the top
most round of the ladder -when It rose
steadily and swiftly with him. The ex
tension ladder was raised to the windows
on the fifth floor of the hotel and the
firemen tripped lightly up and down. '
Til exhibition attracted -much interest

John Got tbr ch t, an aged German, who
has been a patient at St. Bernard's hospi
tal, allppcd away from th Institution yes
terday and made his way to th county
oourt house in search of th county atr
tomey to whom he wanted to appeal for
release from th hospital. He went into
th sheriff's office and stated his case In a
perfectly rational manner. County At
torney Hesa was engaged In the trial of
cas and th old man was waiting
patiently for th opportunity to see him
when an attendant from th hospital ap
peared in response to a telephone mes
sage from the sheriffs office. Gottbrecht
created a scene, declaring that h was per
fectly sans and would die before con
senting to return to confinement. II waa
taken back by gentle force, calling for
polic and help at th top of his voice
and In th purest German tongue.
Investigation ot the cae shows it to be
somewhat out of th ordinary. Th aged
German Is a private patient, never hav
ing been declared insane. His home is
at Born. Kan., where his daughter, Mrs.
Tays, resides, and where he has large
property Interests. During the greater
part of th time he la peifectly rational
but Is subject to periods ft complete Irre

be worth hundreds of millions of dollars,
which he attempts to disalpat by writ

the communal despotism now existing In
the conduct of affairs of th Sao and Fox
reservation in Tama county,, Iowa. Dur
ing the laxt session of congress Senator
Cummins introduced a bill In th senate
which provided for the allotment ot the
lands of the Sac and Fox tribe In Iowa,
and a similar bill was presented in the
house by Congressman .io.d. No action.
waa taken, however, on tnne bills, as the
time was short and other mute Important
matters crowded the Sac and Fox bills
out.
Th Sac and Fox Indians it Iowa num
ber S.V) souls, and own about ;;,-xi acres
In Tama county, upon whiuii they have
lived for more than fifty years. The title
to their lands Is held for them in trust
by the secretary of the interior a'ld they
cannot dispose of their holdings without
his consent, and furthermore he, tha rec
retary of the Interior, also haa absolute
control of the payment ol their annuities.
'l..e Iowa band of Sac and Fox Indians
has always resented any and every at
tempt whloh haa been made l) educate
their children and all other efforts looking
to the general uplift of the trlb have b"n
vigorously fought by the old chiefs.
The secretary of the mteriar recently
put into operation a plan whereby annui
ties of all Indian parents of this trlb
who refused to alow their ch'itlren to
attend the schools, should be withha'U.
This has resulted In th improve 'lent ot
th educational situation,
4hbol( Visit Rraervstles,
AsNtHtjiiit Tndian Commissioner F. H.
Aoott, during hla recent tour of tnspec- t
tlon of Indian reservations, rod all over j
tne 8ac and Fox country, visiting th :
leading chiefs, and talked with th young
men, generally known as the progressives
of the tribe. The latter favor the breaking
up of the communal form of government
and would Indeed be glad to accept allot
ments, and thus be able to farm inde
pendently, but seem to fear to tak th
Initiative because of the hostility ot the
old chiefs to the plans of the department.
"Words cannot describe th helplessness
of the present situation In the Sac and
Fox country in Iowa,'' aald Assistant Com
missioner Abbott today In speaking of his
recent visit. "Ther is not a legal mar
riage among them. The majority are
against schools. There Is not a decent
residence on their lapds All ar pro
nounced Pagans except five, and these
have been converted through th Mescal
Dodge. Their condition Is not only a
menace to their own future but It Is a
constant disgrace to th government that
is permitting the continuance of such con
ditions." "The' wot U of clearing th lands of un
derbrush and ripe timber should be pushed
with vigor." continued Mr. Abbott. "Th
old Indians object to, having the - under
brush denied away, on the theory that it
would drive the rabbits their meat supply
out of the country, and by threats of vio
lence hay Intimidated the young Indiana
to the point that it 'la lmpowlbl to get an
Indian to engage In th work ut timber
clearing. It is highly Important that all
the agricultural land and most of it is
agricultural In character should b cleared
before individual allotments are made. If
it is impossible to hav it done with In
dian labor it should be accomplished by th
employment of whites. Theie are thou
sands of feet of good cord wood rotting;
large lots which will never be of any use
unless marketed in some way.
"Th question of Individual allotments is
the most difficult of all. A number ot
young men are trying to farm, but, under
present condlUons, there 1 littl hop. A
young man who tilled ten acre last year,
th chief furnishing the fence to surround
th land. Is forbidden this year to farm
th same ten acres unless he will agree to
give th chief half his crop.
"Another young man who put out a
large crop of corn last year frequently
found his field filled with Indian ponies,
and when he attempted to shut them out
was confronted with th query, 'What
light hav you to object? This la as much
our land aa It is' yours.' Still another
young man was asked why he did not build
himself a nous and some fence. Instead ot
living In a 'wickey-up,' and he replied.
'What is th use? How do I know I will
hav land near my house to farm?' "
Mr. Abbott recommends th&t new legisla
tion b procured which will permit th al
lotting, upon the request of au Individual
Indian, his pro rata ahar of th land, and
that there be set apart to such Indian his
pro rata share of the tribal trust funds, to
b used under th rule and regulation tbr
th improvement of his allotment. He
make this recommendation because, in hi
Judgment, It will b Impossible, within th
next ten or fifteen years, to secure th
consent of th majority of this trlb of In
diana to an allotment of their land.
It will b poeslbl. however, to sacur re
quests from perhaps a dozen of the younger
Indian for their individual portion of the
tribal lands. In fact, only within th past
few day th department ha received a
petition signed by fourteen of th younger
element praying that they may b allowed
to take Individual allottments of ten acres
each, share individually In tha tribal fund
and commenoa farming on their own ac
count If the Indian holdings ar in th nature
of a tribal family estate. It Is believed
that it would be consistent with general
Itw, upon authorisation by congress, to
partition this tribal est at upon th request
of petition of a number of member of the
trlb without regard to th consent of all
or even a majority, and that th very ut
most legs I authority vested In th secre
tary of th interior should b inroked for
the uplift of these Indians.

DUN'S REV EW OF TRADE

MW YORK, OcL ii.-K. G. Dun's Weekly
Kiew of Trade today says:
The previous volume of trade is well
maintained and th uoiielui business senti
ment wnlch has been in evidence the last
two weeks continue.
Retail trade is somewhat affected by the
unreasonable warm weather but reports
from itioxt ot tne leading cities are qultt
satisfactory and reflect a cheerful view
as to th outlook.
With prominent railroads signifying their
intention to place more liberal contracts
for needed equipment neat month the
ourlooa in iron and steel is now somewhat
better. Conditions are still mixed at the
leading pig Iron centers, although the ag
gregate volume of contracts coining for
ward la by no means small. The bulk of
th demand la for immediate requirements
only, in structural steel, current business
Is not up to expectation, but greater ac
tlvlty Is looked for in the near future. The
advance In brown ginghams, ticking und
plaids is th feature In the dry guods mar
kets. Bleached cottons have sold freely to
lubbers and manufacturers, but tine ana
fancy cottons did not participate in th
activity to any great extent. The denand
has fallen off since cotton declined. Kx
port trade Is restricted by high prices.
.Dress goods rule very quiet, but men's wear
agents report a fair business. Western
Jobbers are doing a fair business, but
eastern markets manifest conservatism.
Orders for shoes again show some in
crease this week, but trade continues con
siderably below normal for this time of
the year.
Thp leather markets ar generally firm,
but the demand Is less active. The do
ntestlo hide markets continue to weaken
and prices of certain kinds of packer
hides have receded about ',c. Trad; la
on a moderate scale and buyers are holding
off mostly because of large receipts of
cattle in the went and the consequent In
crease in th slaughter.
