Views ofan Experienced Army 0GIeer
some Light Thrown on the Causes Of
the IndiRn Troubles.
ST. LOUIS, October L. Bat little was
done By the Commission to-day. Capt.
Joseph Labarge gave his experience with
the Indians, among whom he spent the
greater part OF his life particularly on
the Upper Missouri River. He thought
to transfer the Indian Bureau to the War
Department would benefit the Indians, in
all respects they would he better fell more
honestly and the cost TO the Government
wouh be les, but In other thing i;
would not he so well. II honest, civil
ageRts could be obtained they would salts
| IS the Indians better than the military
/ agents, hut the trouble il 10 get honest
civilians. Indians do not ike soldiers
and the latter would probably have less
influence over them in matters outside OF
military affairs than civilians would. The
late troubles with the Indians grow ont Of
the HismanageInent 0i civil agents and
frauds practiced by the agents and Other
white mon, who are peamittsd 70 dwel
aronnd the agencies, and whose sole ohject
Is TO make money of the Indians H'
said he believed the Indians might event
ually become self-sustaining; whan II va:
ieasier to raise cattle and corn than TO hunt
THE Commission expect TO leave for tn
Indian Territory and Texas to-moErow.

Purtisep Particulars OF Cashier colder'-

Providence, K. T., October l.-FuTther
examination into the affairs OF the Grocers
and Producers Bank indicates that the
deta,eati0u Of Cashier Colder reaches $50
600, probably $4,000. Fully one-half OF
the capital OF the bank Is gons, but it Is
expected that considerable amount ran
be recovered. The directors have request:
ed Gov. Nanzandt 10 appoint special
commissioners with view Of winding up
the institution II ItisprObahlo the d6poIltoni
and other creditors are seeurp. and that
the stockholders will get something ulti'
mately. The cashier declares he took the
funds 10 accommodate his friends or those
he thought were his friends, who prom
ised to repay, hut did not though otten
requested. The names Of thCse Megltl'
mate borrowers are not given: One direc-
/ TOR Is understood to be debtor for twenty
thousand dollars, which will probably be
made good. The. general impression Is
that the cashier himself used some Ot the
money. The drain has been going on toE
two wears or more, and the deficiency has
been concealed from not very rigid scru'
tluy by an extensive system OF borrowing,

To Whom Il Nay COnonn:
The accompanying communication from
DR.. f. y Brown, Health Officer, is from u
most faithful and honorable gentleman
and official, and is entitled to every con-
sideration as a perfectly truthful statement
OF the sanitary condition OF this city up to
noon to-day. The simple fact that he in
vites those OF our citizens who have been
absent for the summer months to return
to their homes should convince all reason
able persons that there is no sickness here.
Justice demands, therefore, that all re-
strictions should be removed from the
fullest and most free intercourse between
the city OF Louisville and all other points.
