Ne9s from Standing Rock Agency.
Bismarck, Sept. 1.-THE complete
enrolment of the Indians at Standing
Rock shows only 450 lodges and a total
of not over 1900 Indians. Rations have
heretofore been issued on a basis OF
1000, from which it would appear that
1900 are absent, or else a large amount
of stealing has been done.
Indians are known to have returned
from the hostiles, but so stealthily that
they couldn't be caught, and any at
tempt to disarm the hostiles has there
fore proved abortive. Grass, chief OF
the Blackfeet, was arrested Sunday, for
harboring and supplying hostiles. The
Indians threatened to rescue him. but
the garrison was too well prepared to
resist, and so the attempt was not
made.

The most important topics of con-

In our town both parties claim their
man, the Republicans positive that
Hayes is the fortunate candidate,
while the Democrats are equally san
guine that Sammy is In luck. The
matter of course has not been definite
ly settled. but we hope 1t will be soon
and that Rutherford Is. Hayes will be
the man. Because we have key of
powder sitting away in an obscure
corner ready to be ignited In honor of
Hayes.
Everything considered, times are
very good In our place and vicinity.
Trade Is increasing, and money mat
tiers seem to be easier.

In our place; all dug, all sold; and the
people have the money i'm their peck

THE Rock Island Depot will be built
In few days. Its location IL on the
corner diagonally opposite the new
foundry building, one block north of
the G. b. & Q. Depot. The city has
purchased at cost of 5000, from Mes
sers Reno and VIM Crozier, ground
for a street along the south side OF the
depot grounds the length of two blocks
from the depot westward. This pur-
chase was absolutely necessary, in or
der to give the public passage way
about the depot. Had not this pur-
chase been made the railroad Company
would have located the depot several
blocks further west; they were offered
the necessary ground free. We think
our citizens will cheerfully endorse
the action Of the council In this mat
ter. We could not afford TO allow the
depot to be placed futher than 1t now
Ii from the business portion of the
city.

either OF these places to the other.
Through tie kindness Of Mr.. Fisher,

ure Of visiting your place, ~ above

surprised to see the advancement that
Knoxville has made within the past
two or three years. Do the people of

this city will DO the division station

city one Of the first-class, bringing
leading and monied men from the
East here to invest their capital In
manufactures, &C., DC. Cannot there
be some arrangements made whereby
we Of Oskaloosa and the good people
Of Knoxville can come together and
rejoice with each other over this happy
iron-wedding? What say the people
to a grand "shake?" Regular trains,
we understand, will be put In opera
