THE following clipping from the
Sioux City Journal gives a leaf III OF
the personal history of young Staples
who participated in the Teller trunk
robbery recently perpetrated in Living
ston:
"a telegram from Saltwater says that
Staples and Shannon were arrested there
by local officers and taken to st. Paul
Isaac Staples, the father, was proprietor
of the lumber yard on east Fourth
street, this city, that discontinued bus
mess some four years ago. 1t IS unde
stood that the man in charge OF tnls
yard during its latter days was the son
now under arrest. He was q sportlVe
youth. and while here lived with a Wo'
man of the town, whom he afterwards
married at LeMars. The match turned
| out badly, and the couple separated al
| LeMars, the woman returning TO mel
old ways at this city" =.
The old story that q young man Is

wild oats does not always pan out, al
was the case with Staples, Jr. It's gen
orally a poor crop to harvest.

AFFAIRS.

Indian Commissioner Price has COM
pleted his annual report to congress, in
which he expresses the belief that a de-
cided advance has been made in the
march of improvement among the In
dians, the past year.. One question he
considers settled beyond controversy,
and that is that the Indians must be
taught to work for their own support
and 10 speak the English language, Or
give place to people who do. We are
glad to know that the commissioner
considers this question settled. If the
department acts accordingly the Indian
problem will not be such a serious n
hereafter. The commissioner points
out a good many things that should be
lone to render the policy of the depart
ment easily carried out and insure the
greatest good to the red men. Among
other suggestions are these: An appro-
priatien to survey the boundaries of the
Indian reservations SO that both white
and red men may know where they
have rights and where they have
none; a law for the punishment of
| persons who furnish arms and am
munition to the Indians; more lib
eral appropriations for Indian police
an appropriation sufficient to defray the
expenses Of detecting and prosecuting
persons who furnish intoxicating liquor
to Indians, the commissioner believing
that no ardent spirits should be intro
duced into the Indian country under
any circumstances whatever or SOLD
within twenty miles Of an Indian res
~ervation this would make Fort Benton
a temperance town y ; suggests that The
states and territories should have Grim
inal Jurisdiction on the reservations
within their area that Indians shoule
be permitted to homestead lands with
out cost to them that the school faeil
tiles for Indian children be increased
and many other wholesome recon-
~mendations. He says nothing about tn
reduction of Indian reservations, a mat
ter in which northern Montana is jus
now particularly interested. If congress
should cooperate with COMMISSIONS
Price in carrying out some OF his recon-
mendations, at least, the condition Q
the. nations wards would be vastly i'm
proved and Indian atrocities and out
! breaks would be few and far between.

THE Bozeman Courier seems to be
bubbling over with indignation because
the republicans Of this district selected
another man than Col. Sanders for dele
rate to the constitutional convention.
Without questioning Mr.. Sanders en-
inent fitness for the position it must be
remembered that there are other deserv-
ing republicans in the district, with like
good qualifications. and none of them
more worthy than I. c. Power, the
nominee of the convention. While Mr.
Power may not be q polished orator, he
will carry into the convention as much
business sense and judgment as any
man in it, and will prove Il ofthe lead
ing spirits Of the distinguished body
| that is to frame a constitution for the
| state of Montana.
