When board of eminent phyis-
clans and chemists announced the dis
covery that by combining some well
known valuable remedies, the most
wonderful medicine was produced,
which would cure such wide range
of diseases that most all other remedies
could he dispensed with, many were
skeptical; but proof Of its merits by
actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and
to-day the discoveries of that great
medicine, Hop Btters, are honored

through his successful management
that we now have such satisfactory

would call the attention of travellers

they will find better road and save

THE CHEYENNE SCHOOL.

a short time ago we visited the
Cheyenne school and obtained 6
very fair idea of the workings of this
important civilizcr. The school is
under the management of Mr.. W. J
Hadley, with Misses Starr, Hamil
ton ond Miles as teachers. Miss
Lena Miles Is for the present filling
the position of matron- When We
arrived at the Mission, we were a
once ushered into the august pres
ence of the superintendent, who was
busily engaged in shearing his ca
diets. He boasted of having perform
ed this civilizing operation on forty
five the day before and intimatcC
that he could do it again (if the sub
jects would hold out.) In speed h,
is certainly a success, but an assist
ant of his stoutly insists that, so IA
as art goes, he is a miserable failure
The first school room visited wa
that of Miss Anna Hamilton. Her,
we found beginning class in mum
bers reciting. These children hav,
only been in school short time, We
they add, subtract and multipl,
with ease and accuracy. We were no
a little surprised at their familiarit,
with that torture of childhood, tn,
multiplication table. We do not re
member having seen a class of whit,
children of the same age and schOo
opportunity do better work, and W.
are puzzled to know which deserve
the greater praise, the teacher or tn
pupils. The brightest children cal
only accomplish such results b,
close and steady application, Will
none but an expert teacher could di
rect the developing minds to sucl
results.
In Miss STAIRS school room, w
heard classes recite in reading, spell
ing and arithmetic. The childrcl
speak distinctly, move promptly ant
take deep interest in their work
Miss Starr is not only a good teach
er but is splendid disciplinarian, a
the department of her pupils full,
proves. In this room we saw tn
children write and examined a mum
Der of specimens Of their penman
ship, They have a splendid idca O
form and surpass the white learne
in the legibility of their writing
Their books were clean and fre
from blots-
The next place visited was tn
dining room. This department i
within the range of our comprchcn
slon, and the very good dinner wa
thoroughly enjoyed. All extreme

ate at that same table, and if an
lone thinks it was any less Jolly o.

From tie Commercial indicator
we learn that the trade of Kansas
City increased last year from $6S,
2S0,251 to $1O1 100000 or asa %
being the largest increase made by
any city in the United States for Tho
same period. Kansas City now has
population of63,O06, which is rap
idly increasing, and the prospec
that,it will soon become the trade
center of the West is good. A large
increase over the previous year il
observed in the trade in live stock
grain, provisions, and in almost ev
cry kind of merchandise.
Arnold, Neatha, Jcssa, Jock, Jaah
Theodore and. Lester, Arapahoes
and Stanton, Moore, Fletcher anC
Carl, Cheyennes, will start to Car
lisle tomorrow, where they will ap
prentice themselves at the most use
full trades. These boys are too ole
to be admitted to the Trainin,
School and now go east to serve al
apprenticeship the same as whit,
boys do. Mr.. J. III. Seger suggested
this course, explained the matter t.
the boys and has made most Of tn,
arrangements for their going. En-
boys pay their own travelling expen
), ses from the sale of cattle or ponic
or from money earned by labor, an'

fective work. Her classes speak and
act promptly, obey without question,
and show that they improve their
study hours properly. Miss Miles
displays industry and tact in the
management of her school and rs
a natural result is successful.
The teachers of this school have
drilled the children until they march
with almost military precision. To
see them march to quick music, all
in perfect time, is certainly worth
trip to the school. The effect on the
school cannot be other than benef-
cial--it shows the pupils to spendid
advantage and gives them conf
dence in themselves.
The harmony that exists among
the employees of this school is not
only commcndable but remarkable.
No personal chickering's seem to mar
their pleasures, all are Jolly and meet
on the same social plane. Hard,
steady work and isolation does not
seem to render their lives less pleas
ant, in fact, they are too busy to be
unhappy.
Another praiseworthy thing is the
system of entertainments for the
children in practice at this school.
The superintendent or one of the
teachers takes the children each eve
ming and entcrtains them with mu-
sic, games, stories, ETC. The effect
is apparent. The pupils loose much
of that shyness peculiar to their race
and, in place, assume the manner
and bearing Of the white man. 1t
matters not how these entertain
mcnts are conducted so they hold
the attention of the pupils. 1t is con-
tact and association, and these must
ever be important factors in the ed
ucation of any uncivilized people.
The highest result cannot be accom-
plishcd by treating these children as
white children are trcated-they
must, as much as possible, be kept
in an atmosphere of civilization.
When with their parents in camp,
they are under semi-barbarous influ-
cnccs, and while many parents want
their children educated, few appre-
ciate its real value and still fewer
know how TO encourage their chill
dren in the pursuit of knowledge
Doubly important then is the mis-
sion of n teacher in an Indian school,
and many are the obstacles to he
surmountcd. That the childrn Of
both the tribes at this Agency are
capable Of receiving an education
in the common branches, n little OBJ
scrvation will convince the most
sceptical. But this education must
be accomplished by system, by close,
hard work. There is no room for
speculation and no time for untried
theories. In their camp life they
practice just the reverse of system,
they come and 90 when they please,
ont and Clpep whom the hurnOr tokaS
