Ia. contained lengthy communication
from the pen Of B. NJ. Smith, Drifting
Gooss's right bower, in which he uptolds
the "right.,' o he calls them, Of that rowing
hand Of Sioux known a. Drifting Goose's
band, y n sel
s's Nov, SMr. Editor, il struck me from the
commencement of tl.is wrangle that b. NJ.
Smith has an az to grind, or, in plain
Enplish. has an eye ON this fertile valley
for his own special benefit. He know the
white settlers will hold it as homes eads
and his chances are slim. Now, the
point he wants to gain g is this :
Let the Indians have the land
and in the course of time B. NJ. Smith and
his little band Of white speculat.rs will
beat them out of 1t. This is about the ex-
tent Of his love for the Indians About this
time B. M. Smith will play the part Of
"semi-barbariap." as he callsit, and Drifting
Goose will be compelled to step down and
out.
He also condemns the reservation system
Ofcotrse he does: A reses vation on the
Jim would spoil his little game. for he
would not be one Of the favored few. Still
he would have NO objection to feathering
his nest, but he means to pluck the feath-
ere of Of Drifting Goose. in the shape OF q
big land grab.
y He recommends the theory Of settling the
Indians among the whites and tells how
prosperous the Flandreau Indians are in be.
ing self sustaining &c, but when we look
back few years and think how the
self supporting. law abiding Santees
massacred the whites in Minnesota, it
knocks this theory in the head.
Mr.Smith puts the questions did you
ever know an Indian agent that did not
leave his post we'll 'heeled {? Did he do
it on fifteen hundred a year salary" l
don't see what is to prevent man "heeling''
himself on fifteen hundred. year, if he
aint spendthrift. know they are accus
ed of stealing and in trying to prove the
accusation Gen. Hammond has cost the
government thousands of dollars and failed
go far TO prove dishonesty on the part Of the
agents. Never throw stones when your OWL
house is made Of glass.
There seems 10 be missing link some
where between this lard grab game and thit
mill-dam dodge. b. NJ. Smith seems to be
head centre of the former and committee
on Invitations on the latter, as he cordially
invites you, Mr.. Editor, to take ride il
his little boat and inspect his little dam
game. The whole thing will leak out, both
the game and the dam.

THE CITY COUNCIL.

Proceedings OF Last Nights Regular
Meeting. aH 5F%
The council met last night in the Office Of
the truck houee, but as the removal Of that
building had broken nearly all the plaster
off the wallis giving the cold wind free
access to the aldermanic body through the
cracks in the building, there was lack Of
ardor and coolnees about the proceedings
unfavorable to long speeches, and the ses-
sion was short one.
The mayor and aldermen Bates, Bram-
bic, Hoffman, Gilman, Peir, Turner and
Woolley formed circle With their feet on
the stove and proceeded to business.
After hearing the minutes read and pro.
nouncing them correct, q, petition was pre-

How TO be Beautiful.

The first requisite in a woman toward
pleasing others is that she should be
pleased with herself. To no other way
can she obtain that seif-pnise that leaves
her at liberty 70 devote herself % others.
You all know this by the satisfaction
you feel when tastily dressed and your
costume in order To believe that
you are beautiful will 60 great way
toward making You so. Still, one need
not be too self-conscious, for that would
make the prettiest woman hOmely. The
most beautiful faces are those wherein
the inner life shines out and radiates
them, Ike the sunlight streaming
through a rose-cOlOred window. Keen
your souls aud hearts pure, your bodies
healthy, and you will never look homelv
to any one. One advantage YOU will
have over your prettier sister is that you
Will grow in beauty as years 90 by,
while hers will fade with her youth. 4

will seldom DO anything to retain her
beauty till it is irrevOcably lost; then,
instead Of commencing at the founda-
ton of beauty, she covers her skin with
cosmetics and powders, stopping up the
breathing places Of her body, until at
thirty she Is an old woman instead Of
being at the prime Of youth. Most au-
thOrities claim that a woman is at the
height Of her power at twenty-siX, and
after that age grows old very rapidly.
She does unless she uses her mind aud
Intellect and lets them keep pace with
her years; then the power and intelli-
gence will manifest itself in her face
and makes her almost handsome, how
ever hOmely her features may be. What
if they are not regular? If she has a
clear skin, good teeth, bright eyes, lux
uriant growth Of hair, happy, good
natured face, who asks whether she is
twenty or thirty? It's a woman's busf-
ness to look a. well as possible, use her
artistic eye, not in the use of paints, but
in the choice and harmony of cOloTs. 4
well-fitting calicOis better, neater, more
stylish than are ill-made silks Of unhar-
mOniOus cOlOrs. All people, of whatever
sex or race, worship beauty, though
each have different ideas oft. Women
Of genius are the first 10 lay the crown
on the head of beauty. It is not the
mere fashion Of face or form, pink or
white complexion, but for the symme-
try and brightness that comes of physi-
cal and spiritual refinement. Men of
the world understand well that a
wOmau's Wit j. finest and her neart
yields the richest wealth after the crude
inexperience Of girlhood is vanished.
No woman has right TO sigh over her
years Though it is hard for Us to know
we are growing old until the frost creeps
into her heart. They are young while
they seem young, and n sweet girl Of
seventeen and a high-bred woman Of
thirty may well dispute the palm. The
essence Of beauty is health, and no
woman can be perfect in her beauty
without it.-DctrOd Free Press.

The sale of the library of the late
George Brinley, Of Hartford, which has
been going on for several days, has been
largely attended. The library Of Con-
gress, the Philadelphia Historical So
ciety, the Chicago Public Library, the
Carter Brown Library of Providence,
and other well-known public and pri-
vate libraries were represented. The
bidding was little slow, but the prices
brought are considered by buyers at any
rate as very fair, although in many in
stances they did not reach the prices
paid for the books by Brinley. One
thousand six hundred dollars was paid
for two little books named "The Verie
Two Eyes Of New England Historic"
in two volumes, printed in London 1902
and 1905. Eighteen hundred dollars
was paid for Smiths General History"
Since the society for the prevention
OF crime closed five disorderly houses

citizens that it will 90 on and clear the

OF bad places doing business in this city,
although but few are ever raided by the
police. Those suspended are said to be
confined to houses that don't give
enough money to corrupt the police.

The conductors of the IPOmdn'S Jour
nal send to the Tribune some RESPONSE
ble testimony in regard to the voting of
women in Wyoming Territory. The
Rev. DR.. Crary, a Presiding Elder of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, con-
tradicts the statement that at the recent
election in the Territory "no women
voted except those OF the baser sort.n
He AYERS that the very best ladies OF
that Territory vote, and, as they gener-
ally vote on the right side of all ques-
tiols, the lies told to their detriment
originate with men of the "baser SORT"
with defeated demagOgues and disap-
pointed strikers Of the meauest kind of
politicians, who hate the majority of
the women because of their pure lives
and independent ballots. Mrs. Matilda
Hindman, for whom Lucy Stone
youches as a woman of undoubted YER
acity, draws some charming sketches of
the election scenes. Although large
numbers Of men stood around the
polling-place, not single loud word
was to be heard. There was no smok-
ing, aud no splitting on the walk, over
which the ladies had to pass. The
babies too, were well taken care of bv
lady friends while the mothers went 10
The polls. Not infrequently their sweet
little faces were seen in close proximity
to the voting-place. The mothers
trundling the little carriage, with baby
snugly nesting inside, would deposit
their votes as though il was the most
natural thing in the world. No drunk
en men We're there. There was no
crOwding, pushing and jamming, such
as may be seen and experienced by
women at the tbeaters, operas, lectures
aud even at church when a distin-
guished divine is TO preach. A copy Of
the same testimony, given by the Hon.
I John w. Kingman before the Massa-
chusetts legislature, gives favorable
account Of "six years practical work
| ings OF Woman Suffrage in Wyoming"
/ In view of this formidable array of
evidence, it must be conceded that the
phrase "baser sort" was used too
hastily.

excepting by paying transient rates Of

unjust and unequal, and so much in

wonder why it is so, unless the post

OF papers that are making money, and

Heredity.

The following is a sketch of Mrs.
StantOn's conversation given recently
at the Sherman House, reported by the
Inter ocean: "She said the law Of in
heritance should exclude many from
entering the marriage relation. In Sc
lection Of men for soldiers, OF in train
ing them f.r athletic sports, the great
est care was exercised. Not so in choOs-
ing them 10 be fathers Of families. The
object Of crossing was an important one
in marriage There is law of vital as
well a. OF chemical affinity which
should be observed. Superior parents
often have inferior children. simply be-
cause they DO not observe this law; aud
the reverse il also true that inferior
parents, by being properly crossed in
marriage. will have superior children
The third point iu the lecture was the
consideration nf the Transmission uf ac-
quired peruli9rities fr0H parents 10
children y child will have good or bad
qualities largely developed according a.
these were the ruling passions Of the
parents az inception. The next point
dwelt upon was the influence of the
mothers temperament upon the pre-
natal period upon the child. So power
ful is this that il could be truly said that
the child was partially educated before
birth. y mother can voluntarily stamp
upon her offspring future greatness.
Hence a woman during this period
should be guarded and uurtured with
the tenderest care for the child's sake.
