The Report OF the Commissioner Of In.
dian Affairs.

The annual report of the Commissioners Of
Indian Affairs to the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior 10 made public. Commissioner Price,
At the outset, desires to "urge with earnest-
ness the absolute necessity for . thorough
and radical change Of the Indian policy in
some respects and particulars. 1t must be
apparent to the most casual observer that
he system Of gathering Indians in bands
Or tribes on reservations and carrying

ng them of the necessity Of labor,
aever will and never can civilize them. II

indians the result would certainly be race

;ention to the fact that, In almost every
sase, it Is only the non-laboring tribes that
20 upon the varpath, and the stubborn
tscts Of history compel me to say the Gov
srnment Is largely to blame for this.
We feed the White River murderers
and compel the peaceable Uintahs to
largely care for themselves. This course
induces the Indian to believe that II
they are to get favors from the Government
they must refuse to work, refuse TO be or
derly and peaceable, and must commit some
depreciation or murder. and that commits

and pay them In goods, provisions and
money to behave themselves"
The Commissioner recommends the pro-
hibition Of the Introduction Of liquor
on the IHdian reserves by authority Of the
War Department Incidentally he suggests,
As more effectuai remedy for the evil Of
that Congress be asked to
prohibit the manufacture or sale Of ardent
spirits in any Of the Territories Of the
United States. Among other things laws
should be enacted to extend to Indian res
ervations the criminal laws OF the States and
Territories in which they are respectively
situated.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

1t has been found in India that dis
infection with sulphur fumes Is a valua-
BILE preventive of cholera.
The bricks of Nineveh and Babylon
were only sun-dried, not baked, as is
the modern practice.
Electric lighting is in successful OPP
GRAFTON on more than sixty steamers Of
the Mississippi River and its tributaries.
Prof. Guthrie has succeeded in pro-
ducing blue-black protective skin, or
dipping it in melted nitrate of potash.
The bloom greatly improves the ap-
pearance of the steel, and it appears to
wear well.
1t is said that DIR. Gehring, of Land,
shut, in Bavaria, by means of an en-
ameling liquid, renders any species Of
stone or cement harder than granite.
The process, it is further reported, ad-
mits of being applied to metal, which is
completely protected from rust.
AS the cold produces changes IN
organic substances closely resembling
those caused by heat, a Hungarian
chemist proposes to cook fresh beef by
exposing it to temperature of SO deg.
below zero. It is then placed in her.
metically sealed cans, and is thus pre-
served in perfect condition for long
time.
"A French farmer uses q portable
telephone to carry on the work of his
farm without going away from the
house. His plan is simply to have q
tripod carrying a movable roller, on
which is wound a conducting cable
composed of two insulated wires. Below
this on n movable board is small box,
in which is placed telephone and bell
The system allows the current to pass
from the bell to the telephone without
using commutator. Thus. the tele-
phone being at rest, the bell is in con.
nection with the line, and when the tel
ephone is in use the bell is cut out of the
circuit. Another telephone and bell are
fixed in the house of the farmer, with .
commutator.
Herr lander, German musical di
rector, has made public some interesting
observations on the relations between
the condition of the human voice and
that of the weather. He SAYS that apart
from the inevitable changes in the into
nation, purity, and strength of the voice
resulting from physical variations, such
as illness, nervous tension, and the like,
he has noted other influences of q baro-
metrical nature that seem to indicate
approaching changes in the weather. In
clear weather about to change into that
of dismal, rainy character his voice
became weak, and showed a tendency to
grow deeper. In wet weather about to
clear up and become dry and bracing,
the opposite was the case. The voice
became bright, clear, and strong, and
was disposed to strike too high a pitch.
Herr Zander was director Of a church
choir and teacher of singing in q high
school for many years, and had ample
opportunity of verifying these conclu-
sions.

Suggestions Of Secretary KIrkwood.


The annual report of the Secretary Of the
cussion Of the Indian question. He strong.
ly recommends that ga liberal provision be
made by Congress for teaching the Indian
youth our language; that, upon just terms
to the Indians, the number and area of the
existing reservations be greatly reduced;
that on such reservations as are not well
adapted to farming without irrigation, ef-
forts be made to teach Indians to become
herdsmen instead Of endeavoring to try to
make them farmers; that Indian titles to
reduced. reservations be individualized and
thoroughly protected by law; and that
the more civilized reservation Indians
be encouraged to abandon their
tribal relations by setting up experimental
forms Of local government among them, as
nearly alike as may be to the system OF
county government prevailing in the States
or Territories In which the reservations are
respectively located. There are now
In the States and Territories west Of the
Mississippi River 102 reservations, great
and small, on which are located, In round
numbers, 224 200 Indians. II all the In
dians west of the Mississippi were gathered
up on four or five reservations our Indian
affairs could be managed with greater
economy to the Government and greater
benefit to the Indians. recommend that
Congress be asked to create q commission of
three or four eminent citizens to visit, dur
ing next year, the reservations west Of the
Mississippi River for the purpose Of recon-.
mending to Congress, IL they shall deem il
wise, the concentration OF the Indians on
four or five reservations. to be selected In
different parts Of the West, on which the
different tribes shall be located; and II this
SHALL in the judgment Of the Commission,
not be wise, then to recommend the concen-
tration of the existing small agencies where
that can be properly done, and reduction
Of the area OF others to dimensions proper
tionable TO the number Of Indians located

Summary Of the Report OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The report Of the Department of Agri-
culture is summarized ~ follows:

The report Of the Department Of Agri-
culture is summarized - follows:
COTTON.
The indicated yield OF cotton per acre Il
considerably less than last year. The re-
ported decrease Is 33 per cent. in Louisiana,
40 per cent. in Texas, and nearly go per
cent. in Arkansas. North Carolina makes q
return of 30 per cent. less yield than in 1880.
South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi re-
port better condition, and the prospects are
for the crop not much below those OF last
year in those States. Florida reports de-
crease Of 10 per cent, Alabama an increase
Of ID, Tennessee n decrease Of A. Virginia
Is not included as q cotton state, its product
being Insignificant
The average yield of wheat per acre in 1881
Is 101< bushels against 13 lilo in 1880, indi-
eating decrease of about 20 per cent, or
100, 900, 900 bushels from last year product.
In the interior and Western States there
has been great falling OF, caused by the
severe winter, the late, cod spring, drouth.
and, In several States, insect rayages; but,
while the quantity of the crop is reduced.
the quality is generally reported very good.
CORN.
The November returns of corn show an
average yield Of twenty and one-half BUSH
els per acre, Indicating falling of Of about
26 per cent. from the.crop of 1880, caused
chiefly by the general and protracted drouth
during the growing season, and by excessive
rains since the. crop was harvested. The
quality Of the crop is somewhat below the

Deeapitated.

Ellen Kessler, the daughter of well-to do
parents residing near Blue Island, who was
attending Normal School at Englewood,
came to her death last night under peculiar
circumstances, but whether the case is one
of accident or suicide cannot now be deter
mined and may always remain mystery.
The young woman was Just past twenty
years Of age, and for some time had been
numbered among the scholars of the above
Institution. She lived In building adjoin-
ing the school building. known as the DOR
mitory. where are also many Of her fellow
scboolmates, only going home at intervals.
Last evening about nine O'Clock she made a
call upon friend who lives a short distance
from the school, and here it was noticed for
the first time that she had acted queerly,
not seeming to be quite herself. Later, she
returned to the dormitory, where she met
Mrs. Wentworth and explained that she
vised her to go to bed, aud said she would
get her some medicine. The young woman
went to her room, but when Mrs. Went
worth followed her she had disappeared. 1t
was then learned from one of the young men
that he had seen Miss Kessler going out of
the door dressed In light wrapper. Search
find ner. and, having noticed her strange
actions, it was feared that something had
happened to her. The police were notified
and parties sent out In all directions. At
half past ten o'clock twp police men came
upon the decapitated body of the
young woman lying betw,e the rails of the
incoming track OF the Wabash Road near
Seventy first street. Not only was the
head severed from the body but one of
the arms and both feet were crushed.
A short distance away lay n part
Of her underclothing; the body when found
having upon It only the light wrapper in
which she was seen to leave the school.
Her slippers lay together beside her under
clothing. giving one the impression that she
had thus partially disrobed Just previous to
her death. 1t Is this feature that gives the case
the appearance ofsuicide. No reason could
be assigned other than that she was some-
what behind in her studies, and that this
had preyed upon her mind for several days
past.-Chiea0o Trio,Dss, NoveDaber 16.

Hiram Graham, OF Dry brook, UI
ster County, n. Y, has five bear traps.
A few days ago he and his two sons, Isaac
and William, found bear, weighing
loo pounds, in one of the traps. Think
ing to have some sport, he turned the
bear loose and set his dog upon him,
but the dog turned tail and the bear
started for the woods. Isaac pursued
the animal. which turned upon him and
caught him by the wrist. He freed
himself and grasped bruin by the
throat. The bear then seized Isaac by
the breast with histeeth and tore the
flesh from an arm with one of his paws.
The struggle was then very exciting
and the result uncertain, but the two
other hunters came to the rescueand
killed the bear.
