DAKOTA.

Press and Dakotaian: The committee
appointed by the constitutional conven-
ton to interview the senatorial Indian
commission relative to the opening Of the
Sioux reservation succeeded in convincing
that body that the white man has some
rights which congress is bound to respect.
The representatives of 800, 900 people in
state convention assembled were too sig
nificant delegation to be ignored and
the senatorial heart melted and relentsd
in the etfulgent rays of Dakotas rising
star. The Edmunds commission was also
present and aided in the presentation of
Dakota'S case. As result we have the
senatorial assurance of the probability OF
a speedy ratification Of the treaty for the
cession of portion OF the reservation.
This is the first tangible result Of the state
hood movement. In an hours interview
the representatives of the state accom-
plished more than the representatives Of
the territory have been able TO accomplish
in a half dozen years OF earnest labor.

care of your machines! They ought to

Of your neglect! They will tell you that
they rust out! Why, man alive, you can
starve out nearly every dealer in the coun-

er care Of your machinery. Give the ma
chimes good shelter; they are more expen-
sive than your stock-moro expensive
even than your farms; and il you leave
them exposed to the rsvages of sun aud
storm they are certain to go to destruction.
You not only have a heavy burden of debt
to carry through life, but you leave an in
heritance of mortgages and debts for your
children to struggle with and perhaps fall
under. II you can afford to run in debt
