Thursday BY the accused pleading
guilty to each Of the four charges and

He stated that he had voluntarily re-

separately, declared him guilty on all

A LARGE TRACT OF INDIAN LANDS
CQUIRED.

A treaty has just been completed by
the government with the Wshpeton
and Sisseton Sioux and Cat Head
tribes of Indians by which it secures
the cessiou of about one million acres
Of land claimed by them: This tract
is bounded on the east by the Red
River, and extends from q line near
Lac Traverse to withis a few miles of
DEVILS Lake, embracing an area of
over $50 miles. in length and 100 miles
in width, aud including within its linn,
its the fertile region between the James
and Red rivers, section of country of
unsurpassed fertility, which is rapidly
filing up on both sides of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. The Indians retain
small reserve near Lac Traverse and
another at Devils Lake. For this
tract the government is to pay the H.
dams $50, 900 year tor ten years. A
aew and wiser plan than the old one
seems to have been determined upon by
the government, and this purchase
price is to be paid, not in money Cox.
cept a$small portion J, but in stock, ag-
rioultural Implements, clothing and
supplies, and isato be paid only as earn
ed. Each family is to select. its own
farm, on the reservation, and the pillow.
ing and fencing are toebe paid for out
of this purchase fund. We believe
this course will result in much good,
especially to the Indians themselves.
What they need is to be taught to
work, to caro- their own livelihood, and
the only alternative presented should
be starvation. -: ~. III r"
The commissioners who negotiated
this treaty were Maj. NJ. N. Adams, of
Lac Traverse, Major w. H. j.. Forbes, of
Fort Tottcp, and James Smith, Jr., of
St. Paul. Mr. Smith returned home

PATH,

At one o'clock on last Thursday a.
ternoon One Eyed Dixie came dashing
into Gen Davis camp aud reported
that the Indians were at hand ready to
enter camp under escort. Fairchild,

at the request OF Gen. Davis started
with Dixie. :: I >.ss'
The news Of the intended surrender
of the Indians spread throughout the
camp like Wild fire. Tho soldiers and
Warm Spring scouts were alike elated
by the prospect of a peaceful victory
At six o'clock in the evening the
Indians were seen coming over the crest
of the hill to the camp. The few po-
MES ridden by the Modocs were gaunt
and weak, and seemed scarcely able to
bear the women and children who
were piled upon them. The bucks en-
braced Bogus Charley, Steamboat

mostly in garments. Nearly all wore
a portion of the regular uniform of the
United States army. The bucks car.
ried Springfield rifles. The women
were dressed in clothes that had evi.
IDENTITY been used by the fair sex with.
in the confines of civilization. All en-
tered the camp at funeral pace.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

A decision has just been rendered by
the Supreme Court of this State, in a
case appealed from the District Court
of Olmstead County, declaring the Act
Of the Legislature Of 1871 for regula-
ting railroad freight and passenger tar.
ifs to be constitutional. The issue be.
tween the railroad company and she
plaintiff was the single one OF the con-
stitutiouality Of the law under. which
redress was claimed. The Court main
tanned that the State has surrendered
none of its sovereignty oyer the railroad
in question-the Ninona & St. Peter
~-and that therefore it has the consti-
tion"l right to enact just such laws as
that of 1871. This is a very impof.
tant decision, as it asserts the right and
power of the people to protect them
selves from the rapacity of conscience
less corporations.

A TIME OF TORNADOES AND
FLOODS.

The Cyclone on Thursday in Iowa
and Illinois, tolerably full! account Of
which is published on the first page Of
this issue, seems to have been much
worse than at first reported. In Wash
ington county, Iowa, ten persons were
killed and twenty.four wounded, some
dangerously; in Keokak county, Eve
persons we're killed and ten injured.
A flock Of fifteen hundred sheep were
carried offand mashed to pieces. They
are said to have looked, while whirl-
Ing around through the air, ''like

On Saturday Iowa had another Wis.
itation Ct the same kind, though less
destructive. A Dispatch from Des

On Saturday evening a gale and
heavy rain passed over Memphis, doing
considerable damage.
Davenport dispatches state that dur.
ing the storm on Thursday several
steamboats, were badly damaged.
A terrible storm passed over Louis
Vile on Tuesday evening, doing great
damage. The wind lifted several roc,ts
and uprooted trees in oil directions. A
number of houses were struck by light
ming.
Specials from Kansas and Iowa rep.
resent that lmplense damage has been
done the crops by the excessive rains
OF the p:.sta, week. The streams have
overlooked the banks, sweeping away
bridges and roads, and in many places
land slides have occurred, temporarily
suspendiug railroad travel. The loss
to railroad and farm property is i'm
mense. In Topeka the storm of Sun
day was the hardest in years. Two
churches were struck by lightning.
Two women were killed by lightning
on Sunday at Ossavattomie, Kansas.

DEAR JoURNAL.-What q curious

some certain thing and yet does want
TO do it! I an just in that fix. If
I consult flesh aud blood Twill not

of the things here, a little part Of which
l am. Butelike child surrounded BY
many new pl.ythiugs, 1 hardly know
which to pick up 6rst-they are Hall
nice, and one is not more so than an
other. I will begin with a notice of the
delegates from the United Presbyterian
Church in Great Britain and Ireland,
They were DR.. Eadie and Dr.. Calder.
wood. I cannot say much about these
men, for I promised to- keep this for
the prayer meeting when l got home.
DR.. Eadie is well known for bis biblical
works, which are of the staunchest
kind. In his Commentary on Ephes-
ians he gave offense to certain parties
10 England by this passage as he ex.
planned it: "t}rieve not tho Holy
Spirit" he said, "Beoause by it 70 are
sealed, etc." They said, "No but be-
cause you will bo Lost ii you d." in
his second edition he put it after this
manner: "Grieve not your mother
WHY? because if you do You will break
her heart" Certainly nothing could be
more beautiful. The church he repre-.
sents is the oldest voluntary church on
the island, purely voluntary and entire:
Iy Independent of all government aid
or patronage or eouutenaoce whatever.
The Dreis quite we'll up in years, but
still heeis the ideal Sootohmsn; very
large build, powerful looking frame,
face little too red to be handsome,
but with clear, snappy eyes, aud geuer-
ally intelligent cast of features. All
