same discontinued spirits who have pre-
viously figured in the Communist mobs.
They seem very much determined to
redress the imagined wrongs under
which they are laboring. As there is
strong militia force in the city very lit
tie apprehension is felt.
.CoFFEEvILLE. August l6.
The Indian Commission which holds
its session at the Usage Agency to-mor-
row for the purpose of investigating
the charges against Gibson, the agent
of the Osages, is likely if it is an
honest Commission, to strike heavy
blow at the Quaker Indian policy of
the Administration. A United States
officer will appear before the Commits
sion and accuse Agent Gibson of COM
polling the Indians to sign the vouch-
ers in blank before they could receive
their money. He will charge him with
driving half breed ont of his house
and compelling him to travel thirty
nine pniles in the dead of winter with
his wife and children, because said half
breed signed petition to have Catho-
lie missionaries and schools established
among them. He will accuse him of
having made false vouchers to the
amount of $4,000 in regard to rations
issued to the Little Osages. He will also
attempt to prove all these charges by
afidavits. perintendent Hoag is also
attempting to secure the removal of
Gibson, but wants another Quaker in
his stead, and hot time is expected.
1t is fight between Catholics, Quakers
and Indians.

MADISON, August 1G.
The political pot begins to boil here.
The fact that a few sore heads had
meeting at Milwaukee to stir up oppo-
sition to the denomination of the re-
form administration, has startled every
body to express an opinion that three
or four sore-heads from this locality,
who met with their kindred in Mil
waukee have got back. They are the
laughing stock Of almost every body
here since the political feeling was
brought out. 1t is clearly apparent that
