INDIAN CHIEFS.

Atseven o'clock this morning party
Of eight Indian warriors from the Black
Hill t1lbes arrived in this city on their
way to Washington to confer with the
s'Greab Chief" in regard to their terri
tory. The Chiefs came by the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul road, having
Travelled to a station on the Northern
Pacific from the Black Hills, They were
large, hnely-formed men, dressed in In
dian Costumes of dressed skins, and paint
ed in warrior style. Tufts of feathers
ornamented their craniums. They left
lmmet ately for Washington, accompan-
led by their interpreter. They seemed
very eager to view the wonderful sights
of the city, but the steam horse of civil
ization would not wait.
The Indians were in charge of Major
N. Fl. Bingham, u. S. Agent of the
Cheyenne tribes. The names of the dis
tingTished chaps are Lone Horn, the
head chief, Long Mandan, Red Skirt,
Spotted Elk, Rattling Bib, Swan, Duck,
Charger and Bull Eagle. They are the
warriors of three tribes whose reservation
includes the Black Hills country, and are
quite intelligent The chiefs are willing
to sell their interest in the Black Hills,
providing satisfactory terms can be
agreed upon, but until a treaty to that
effect is signed they want the white man
to keep off their lands. They have been
kept quiet SO far through the constant
and unremitting efforts Of the agent, but
unless a satisfactory treaty is arranged
while at Washington, Major Bingham
fears trouble. He is in hopes, however,
that when all the chiefs get together at
Washington a treaty will be arranged
that will prevent bloodshed. -F7iday's

LOCAL PRIDE.

Ii the citizens of town desire to have
the community of which they are repre-
sentatives maintain an equality with sis
ter communities, and wish the town in
which they dwell to keep pace with 9th
ers, In progress, it is necessary to culti-
vate true local pride we do not mean
an inflated idea Of superiority OF all that
pertains to their locality, or the extrava-
CANT laudatlon of every enterprise or
undertaking in their midst, but a dis
eliminating pride in all advancement IN
the general welfare, and shall prompt ii
just defence of the merits OF the town
where they have set up the temple of
home fair commendation of its artis-
tic OF natural beauties, and an encour
agement to every individual who puts
his hand to the work of deveoping its
resources, wealth and advantages. 4
community whose people are Indifferent
to the improvements that may be inau-
gurated within their boundries, will make
slow progress. The men who express
no satisfaction at seeing dwelling of
comfort and taste erected, who draw
their purse strings tight, and grumble
at the expense of an tasty public edifce
shuddering at the increased taxation to
pay for some modern improvement, which
is to prove blessing to coming genera
tions areenintants ofChina before itsgates
of supersies to civilization, as were the
inhabitation and ignorance were opened
and the genius of progress bade to enter.
Every dwelling Of taste that wealth
effects In our midst should be welcomed,
every public edifce that is reared should
receive our cOmmendation !; every temple
of education should be pointed out with
pride as an evidence that we are prepar-
ing the generation to follow rs to fight
that never ending combat of the spirit
ual over the animal, of mind over matter.
Every church that lifts it's graceful spire
heavenward should be hailed, as planting
an altar around which viii cluster the
blessing of education and refinement.
We should rejoice at the puff of the en-
gine, the clank of the shaft, and the hum
OF the machine, proclaiming that indus
try reigns within our borders, for every
additional stroke of labor fixes on a surer
foundation the future wealth of our
community, and is rearing on an endur-
ing basis the fabric of com mon prosper
ity.
We should possess local pride sr1fi-
cient in the Intellectual tastes of our
society to encourage lectures Of q high
order, OF first-class musical entertain
ments, showing by q full attendance
that merit IS appreciated, and that a
desire exists of establishing a high
STANDARD, of s,ental culture among the
people.
1t Is disgrace to those who are ever
seeking to underrate the place of their
birth at home-seeing nothing to COM
mend in the localities of which they are
a representative part, but holding it up
to invidious comparison with a neigh
boring city or town. We honor man
who has a true local pride in his village
or town where his own cherished fire
side exists, and who isnot ashamed torefer
with pride to the spot where his daily
lot is cast.

TIE Governor of Missouri has issued
a proclamation calling on the people of
the State to observe Thursday, June 3,
as day of humiliation, fasting and
prayer. Information comes to him from
all sources that the State is threatened by
a grasshopper pestilence, to be followed
by failure of crops, great distress and
possible famine. Nothing but the in
terposition of Providence can save Mis-
souri from the pest, and the Governor
recommends that the supplications of
the people raised for Divine relief aud
protection.

Two RIVERS. CLEAN from the
companies OF this village are making
preparations for a grand fremen's festi
val, to come off some time in June.
The contract for work on our harbor is
to be awarded to day, and by the time Of
our next issue we shall probably be able
to inform our readers who is to do the
work and get the fifteen thousand dol
lars appropriated for it by The last Con-
gress. Mr. Endress, with his sons and
two other young men, left here last Sat
urday on the propeller Joseph T.. Hurd

pie living On Main street have been
troubled of late with water in their eel
lars, and on examining the sewer that
drains them, last week, it was found to
be clogged with ice at distance of more
than four feet below the surface of the
ground. "A piece of copper ore, near
ly pure. was found on the farm of Chris
Runge, two miles north of this village,
one day last week. Thespecimen, which
weighed eight pounds, was turned up by
the man who works the farm, while plow-
ing, and there are some indications Of
there being considerable more in that
vicinity. :. :. The InterOcean says that
Gen. John c. Stockwell, of Manitowoc,
Wis, was at the soldiers reunion in Chi
cago last week. We are ashamed to own
it, but it is fact nevertheless that no
snch mighty man figures in this locality
We have few majors, however, whose
military qualification IN times Of peace,
answer every purpose but none of them
were at reunion, last week, as their
blouses and blue coats were worn out
long ago, and times are too tight to get
new ones just for one spree.

A SENTINEL correspondent writing

A SENTINEL correspondent writing
from Lancaster, Wis, on the 18th, says:
On Friday, the 14th inst, Hon.,
Miles K. Young was shot at his residence
near Glen Haven, by his son Albert D.
Young. There appears to have been
trouble for some months past between
Mr.. Young and his family, and on
Thursday evening the son went from
Glen Haven to his fathers, about 2ssmiles
from the village. The father, anticipa-
ting some violence, stayed at a neigh
boris house during the night, but return
ed home in the morning. On Friday
morning the son, Albert, went again to
his fathers house, was informed by the
hired girl that his father was IN his
room; the door from this rom opened
upon piazza, and on this the son re-
manned until about IL o'clock watching
the door. He then broke open the
door and followed his father who escap-
ed by back door into the yard. Here
the son fred three shots from revolver,
all of which took effect. After the sec
ond shot the father turned and shot at
the son, the ball striking him in the
body. The third shot of the son imme-
diately followed, breaking the fathers
wrist, when he fell, and the son ran to
him and struck him on the head several
blows with hatchet. The son then
turned and fled to the woods near by,
and while taking off his coat to examine
his wound, saw the hired man coming,
and he thereupon loaded his pistol and
blew out his own brains. He fell, and
was dead before any one arrived at the
spot.
The old gentleman became sensible
for moments and talked little, then
sank into insensibility in which condi-
ton he remained until yesterday (the
16th) about 3 O'Clock, when he expired.
He is to be buried at 3 O'Clock to-day.
The excitement throughout the county
is very great, and especially in the i'm
mediate vicinity. The supposition is
that the wife and another son ere deeply
implicated in the transaction. There
are threats of lynching, and of burning
the house, etc. Mr.. Young was we'll
known throughout the State and some
what politically prominent, having once
represented his district in the State
Senate.

THE PRICE OF GRAIN.

The country can hardly fail to be
struck with the anamalous condition of
the grain market at the present time.
The price Of grain in Chicago is higher
(freights included) than in New York
or Liverpool. And this, too, notwith-
standing the warehouses Of this city are
packed to their utmost capacity. The
prices for June and July delivery show
liberal advance on present prices. In
the meantime, New York dealers seem
ingly treat the matter as If the grain
was held here on speculation, and that
Chicago dealers were seeking to force
the purchase at fancy prices. Never
was there a more serious mistake.
This grain is not held here by specula
tors It is in store here on account of
the owners who live in the country and
not in the city. These men own the
property, and are able to hold it. They
have reached the conclusion that a large
area of winter wheat has been killed and
the ground plowed up; that the spring
was so late that far less grain of all kinds
has been sown this spring than usual;
that the winter, though unusually Sc
we're, failed to destroy or materially re-
duce the grasshoppers, whose depreda-
tons, already begun, will this year be
extended over q more eastwardly section
of the country, and that for these and
various other reasons there viii be gen
orally a much reduced crop In 1875.
Upon this basis the owners of these
many millions of bushels of grain in
Chicago are holding it for the advanced
prices which they feel certain will pre-
vail this year. The East makes another
mistake in supposing that Chicago can
not carry grain for any considerable
time, but must forward it for sale. The
time when that was the rule has gone by,
and every day the rule is getting strong
er which requires that he who wants to
buy grain must come or send for 1t.
Except in extreme cases, shipments East
Tor sale are getting fewer. Chicago has
several customers who come hither to
purchase or order shipments, and this Is
to be eventually the rule in this market.
Notwithstanding our elevators are full,
and the grain is held in bulk IN the
country waiting room for storage, and
that the East refuses to buy, every
change in prices is an advance and not
a reduction. There must, therefore,
soon be o surrender. Pending this
''wait' on the part of sellers and buyers,
the transportation companies are com
paratively idle. There is grain enough
here to give them all employment, but
somebody must buy before there can be
shipment. In very brief time navi-
cation VIII be opened, and the St. Law
renee trade will be resumed. AS grain
can be delivered at Montreal much
cheaper than at New York, it can be
purchased for that market at Chicago
prices with less loss than it can be pur7
chased by New York. So with Boston,
Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and if New
York comedies that it can no longer COM
pete with these points, then it must ex-
pect that the grain trade will find its
way to other places. Chicago Tribune.

ANTI MASONIC. The American Wes-
leyan, published at Syracuse New York
and the organ of the Wesleyan Metho-
dist Connection in America, in the issue
of May 18th, publishes the following bit
of intelligence which may be of interest
to our Masonic as well as Anti Masonic
readers : A Chicago exchange says The
public exposition Of the first three deg
rees of Masonry, by Edmund Ronayne
(on Royal Arch), at the hall of Bremen
Street School last Sunday evening, was
nots SO fully attended as it deserved, about
a hundred being present The regular
initiation Of candidate in proper cos
tune was gone through in proper form.
Mr.. Ronayne has been master of Key
stone Lodge, No. $50, in Chicago, and
thoroughly understands the business.
Of course the lodge viii ignore this spir-
tied attact on the order as long as pos
sible, and prevent any notice of the press
that would arouse public interest but
their game will soon be played out.

the public will no doubt hear something
