Northwest Is Alarmed Abnut .I.rnn.
ST. PAM Pioneer.Press.
In view of anticipated trouble at The
81 scton lndia.i agency, caused by the cul.
rnble conduct of the agent Hooper, WHO
with his and his wife's relatives
have managed to incur the displeasurc and
hostility of the Indians, a few facts about
these Indians will be read with interest.
The Pioneer Press has already published
some Of the charges prepared against Hoop
er, and his gang, which have for months
been IN possession of the department at
Washington, and as no attention seems to
have been paid to them, the feeling among
The Indians at the agency is becoming ex-
ceedingly bitter. Indeed, well informed
army officers, who are now in st. Paul,
are convinced that the danger Of an outbreak
at the agency is imminent, and that meas
ures cannot be taken too promptly to assure
the Indian chiefs that their wrongs shall be
r'ghted, and that Hooper shall be separated
without delay by a competent agent.
The sisseton Indians who have been
brought prominently into notice are loca-
ritorv of Dakota, the dividing line between
Minnesota and Dakota being also the cast
ern boundary Of their reservation. Their
agency is about SIX y-five miles almost due
west from the tlourisl,ing town of Morris on
the main line Of the St. Paul & Pacific rail-
road. They, with the Wahpetons. number
about two thousand souls. The Sissetons
belong to and form a part ofthe great Sioux
nation, a large portion of whom are openly
hostile to the G. government; a large portion
occupy a questionable position, sympathiz-
ing largely with the hostiles, while a com.
paratively small portion Of them have made
some considerable progress in civilization
and may be considered true friends of the
whites.
The Sioux have always been noted above
all other tribes of Indians for their fierce
and warlike disposition. 1t has been but
sixteen gears since the beautiful and pros
porous state of Minnesota suffered from an
outbreak of these Indians, which for destruc-
ton of human life, property, and exhibitions
of savage ~ferocity, stands without q parallel
in the annals of the history of Indian out
breaks in this couutry, which, had their af.
fairs been in charge of an experienced and
competent agent, might have been prevented.
Hence the importance Of pursuing a policy
towards those who are now on terms of peace
and amity with us that shall have a tenden-
cy to make their present relations with us
more firm and durable. In the great out.
break of 1862, to their credit be Il said, the
Sissetons not only took no part, but actually
took up arms in defence Of the whites, the
chief Gabriel Renville serving under his
lifelong friend, Gen. Siblev, as his chief of
scouts, and rendering by his superior knowl-
edge of the modes of warfare as waged by
his W people, valuable assistance.

THAT VOICE.

A day in June, 1903. and one OF
the loreliest early summer days the
world ever beheld.
On the lawn in front of the ele-
giant mansion of Leon Fishback,
Esq, a party of young people are
playing Follow, follow, follow me,
a game somewhat resembling (so
their mothers and grandmothers
tell them) an old game called ''Puss
in The corner" played a quarter of
a century or more ago, only, in
stead of Reckoning to each other,
they beckon to q group of metallic
balls, around which they stand in a
circle, and he or she who proves to
have the most magnetic force the
balls follow with a rush, while the
remainder of the players rush as
wildly in their efforts to secure the
place left vacant by the flying one.
1t this moment the balls are roll
ing peH-meI, helter-skelter, knock
ing against each other with a pleas
ant ringing sound, after pretty
fair-haired maiden, whose little
-
feet, clad in slippers all cleaning
with silver and gold, flash in the
sunshine, beneath the blue satin
Turkish trouserlets, as she springs
lightly over the greensward, amid
the exquisitely modulated laughter
mo one shouts loudly in this re-
fined twentieth century-of her
merry companions.
In the back garden, on the green
clover-sweet grass-plat, stands a
broad. deep bucket of newly wash
ed. snowy white linen, and hang
ing-out machine, planted firmly in
the middle Of the plat, is industri-
ously raising and lowering its wood

pieces in its wonderfully constructed

stout no-clothes-pin line, which is
slowly revolving around it, and to
which they adhere without further
trouble. t. ..e- a4 .f.
