Dawes members Of the special senate
committee sent out to Investigate
matters pertaining to the Sioux treaty
which has been prepared by the Sioux
commissioners, arrived here at mid
night last night from the Sioux reser-
vation, and to-day they spent the en-
tire dag il listening to ex-governor
Edmunds and Judge Snapaop Of the
Sioux commission, and also to the
Dakota constitutional convention
committee, who presented their argu-
ments and convention resolutions,
urging the ratification of the Sioux
treaty. The main points fthe treaty
are to give the Sioux Indians six
smaller reservations: The reservation
now contains 36, 900 square miles, and
it is proposed to reduce it to 10000
square miles, thereby ceding to the
government about $1,000 square miles
or between 100000 and 100000
acres. The consideration of this treaty
is to be principally cattle, $4,000 COWS
and 900 bulls at valuation of about
81 100000. In addition, this treaty
provides for the employment by the
| government of instruction agents and
artisans for Indians. The treaty sets
offa strip to be ceded to the govern
ment seventy-fve miles wide and 125
miles long, from the Missouri river
west to the Cheyenne river, which
will be thrown open for settlement
Immediately upon the ratification OF
the treaty. 1t is stated that there are
now hundreds Of Immigrants camped
all along the Missouri river, waiting
| for the opening of the reservation, up
on which they intend to settle.

The prospects of silver in the mine
now being opened by Daniel Douglas
are growing brighter. The shaft is
now down fifty feet, but the miners
have been driven from it by gas. y
tunnel is now being started from the
base of the hill, below the street. Even
in the tunnel the owners find they are
finding some very good ore. This
week they are exhibiting specimens
both of gold and silver, and they are
more confident than ever that they
have found ore in paying quantities.

Eleventh Annual Interstate Exposition
Of Chicago, 1858.

Will open September 5th and close
October 20th. AS usual. all Railroad
and Steamboat transportation Lines
will put their rates to Chicago and re-
turn on hard-pdn basis, selling coupon
ticket to the Exposition. On many of
the lines, gentlemen, familiar with
the business, are making arrange
ments to run general Excursions which
have heretofore been profitable to
those managing them, and cheapened
the cost Transportation to the Excur-
siOnists.
AS to the EXpositi3h itself, we are
assured that extraordinary efforts and
very large expenses have been made
by tie managers to render it in all
important departments the most in
structive, and far the most attractive,
display of its class i'll America. The
local pride Of Chicago is fully enlisted
in the work, and it is safe to say that
no visitor will be disappointed:

High License in Missouri.

The. Supreme court of Missouri has
decided that the high license law, of that
state is not only Constitutional, but ap-
plies to ST. Louis. The effect of the law
Will be to weed out very large num-
er of the saloons. In st. Louis the Ii
eense will be about a thousand dollars
per annlIu1I Governor Crittendon antic-
ipates most salutary results. He says:
1.-The honest, thoughtful voters, who
really want to promote temperance and
who have no selfish motive will be will
ing to await the result of this law. Ex-
perience, which is after ALL. the great
teacher, shows that prohibition has
failed in every state where it has been
attempted. Massachusetts, has tried it
twice and abandoned it; Michigan Kan
sas, Indiana and other states have had
the same experience, and i'm Maine the
law is q dead letter in the cities and
towns where the evil it purposes to re-
move is most prevalent. know this is
controverted by the Prohibitionists, but
the facts are as state them. In Ne
braska, on the other hand, where high
license has been adopted, the happiest
results have been secured, and all re-
fiecting men in the state concur in the
statement that intemperance has been
largely decreased, and law and order
promoted. So, also, has it been in
many communities IN Missouri where
high license has been adopted.

The Loco weed question is still agitat-
ing stockmen on the plains a chemical
analysis has been made of the plant but
no poison found, or anything new elicit
ed by it of interest to stockmen. The
Fort Worth Live Stock Journal of last
week says:
''1f we look for a remedy for the sick
horses and try toe them, we can find
nothing of positive benefit oT.safe to use,
as scientific investigation has been so
far made m vain. AS leading to this
direction Mr. w. H, Trolipgef, of
Whitesboro, forwarded some specimens
of this plant to Messrs. Parker, Davis
q Co., manufacturing chemists of De-
troit, Michigan, for investigation and
report; the specimen of Loco were taken
from Lubbock county range, and it
was expected that this would lead 10
something definite, indicating the pois-
onous principle, if not the cure. The
reply and result OF the investigation is
contained in the following:
Fhe Loco plant of Texas is Astraiagus
moliissimus. Analysis of the plant
have been repeatedly attempted, but no
poisonous principle has ever been isol-
ated from the drug, and, indeed physi-
illogical experiments with the drug it's
elf upon various animals failed to show
that Is produces the effect generally at

The Sun Cholera Mixture.

Now that it has been ascertaihed that
the cholera which has appeared in Egypt
is the genuine Asiatic article from
which the worst is to be feared, should
its march eastward not be stayed by
strict quarantine regulations, cholera
prescriptions are in great demand by
correspondents, who write to the editor
as if he were personal friend and the
family physician. For more than forty
years what is known as "The Sun choi-
era medicine" has stood the test of ex-
perienee as the best remedy for loose
ness OF the bowels ever yet devised. As
was once vouched. for by the New York
Journal of Commerce, mo one has this
by him and takes it in time will ever
have the cholera" Even when no chol-
era is anticipated it is an excellent thing
for the ordinary summer complaints,
diarrh8, dysentery, etc., and we have
no hesitation in commencing it. Here
it is: Take equal parts of tincture of
rhubarb, essence of peppermint and
spirits of camphor, and mix well. Dose
fifteen to thirty drops in awine-glass Of
water, according TO age and violence of
attack. Repeat every fifteen or twenty
minutes until relief is obtained--From

Mrs Bell, the wife of the telephone

District Judge.

This judicial district presents one of
those strange freaks in politics which
are becoming quite common. We have
a republican district with democratic
judge on the bench: The republican
partySpli on prohibition and through
a fortuituous concurrence of public
opinion the prohibition governor was
ousted and an anti put in his place.
This anti happened to be democrat. a
Bourbon of the old school. This Judi
cial district was made by a republican
legislature fer republican politician.
of course. People are not in the habit
of fixing things up for other fellows to
step into. But it so happened that the
old Bourbon who was made governor
by the votes of an anti-prohibition re-
publican appointed to the vacancy for
the unexpired term of district judge
one Amos Harris who is also Bourbon
of the Bourbons. Strange as 1T may
seem this Bourbon Harris shows a lib
eral spirit and made himself strong
with the bar and the boys and hence
will be pretty hard to down. Thus the
awful facts stare the republicans in the
face that a democrat may be elected
district judge. 1t is all owing to the
kind OF man who is placed in the field
against him. twill not do to put up a
fanatic against Bourbon. A prohibi-
zionist can't beat Harris.-W Wichita

An old-timer among the politicians
says: President Lincoln did not use
profane language. Andrew johnson
could swear and did swear roundly and
fiuently. So did Mr.. Stanton and Mr..
Seward. So, also, Mr.. Fessenden. Hen
ry Wilson, when his feelings were
wrought up, as they were when Colfax
was nominated for Vice-President at
Chicago, would swear a little oath as
though he were ashamed of it. Gen.
Grant didn't swear, neither did General
Garfield. Mr.. Randall does occasion
ally. Judge Kelley has been known to
forget his early religious training. At
torney General Brewster can swear flu
emily In three languages. Eli Perkins
says that Don Cameron was never
known to utter a profane word, but
then Eli Perkins was never known to
tell a word of truth. Oliver III. Morton
was determined In his profanity at
times. Mr.. Hayes swore only in his
Eind, and then only in the absence of
his wife. Gen. Arthur is too much of
gentleman to swear.

however concur in their accounts Of the
peculiar effects it seems to produce up
on horses. No antidote to these effects
is known, and with 30 imperfect a

cit seems in the face Of this, the Wis
est course to persue for the protection

ranch ponies can be held safely and well
pastured during the winter, even il the
the weed has TO be pulled from con-
siderable tract Of land to make them
safe. If large pasture is not prgctic-
able, to build smaller one might do il
it should contain some haystack to be-
available during inclement weather and
should one stockman not be able to-
fence a pasture TO suit him, it would be
well to form a joint stock corporation
or horse pool, whereby all stockmen in
the vicinity could bear a proportionate
share Of the expense, and so keep their
horses in sight, protect them against To-
CO, or any shortage of grass. Should
the loco be the means Of forcing some

The people of the Panhandle country
are beginning to feel the necessity and
Importance of better protection than
they now have as regard trail cattle
passing through this country, and the
Panhandle considers it one of those del
icate subjects that they don't care to
fool with.
1t however recognizes the important
fact that it is becoming very difficult for
drovers Of through cattle to pass
through the pastures and ranges Of
that section and prays for the speedy
building of the Frisco line through that
section to overcome present difficulties.
While the building of railroad through
that section might assist them some
what, it is not exactly what is wanted
by the through drover, as he would
much rather prefer a we'll defined
through trail permanently established
boundry lines fully and clearly defined
over which he might drive his stock at
all seasons of the year than all the rail-
roads you could give him. As long as
the stockman has his choice of routes
between driving and shipping the for
mer will be chosen. The most satisfac-
tory way to bridge over this difficulty,
in our judgement, would be to give
them through trial. Texas people are
as much interested in this trail as any
one outside of the state, and il they de-
sire this through cattle drive to contin-
ne, they ought to be the first to make a
move in the premises and see that jus
tice is done them in their state. Join
us Mr.. Panhandle on through trail
and we will enlist regiment of COW
men between this and the Yellow
stone country that will assist us in this
important matter.-Dodge City Globe.

The marked decline in prices for fat
stock, especially hogs,is discouraging to
many, especially to those who held stock
which was ready for market and saw
prices rapidly decline. There will be
some advance in prices, but no one can
tell just how soon, and we gee no reason
to expect high prices this season. Pri
ces have been somewhat abnortnalIy
high part of the last year. Feeders
have this consolation, that they can
produce meat now at much less cost
than in cold weather, the reduced cost
making compensation, in some degree
for the reduced price. It should al
ways be borne in mind that low prices
make careful, economical management
doubly necessary. With live hogs at
seven or eight cents pound even care
less, wasteful modes of feeding may
give fair profit; but with hogs at FIVE
cents and corn at present pri-
ces, there is little or no profit except
where food is used TO the best advant-
age. Hogs on good grass and clover,
and eating the droppings and wastlngs
OF cattle fed corn on the ear, and not
costing much. Those kept in a lot and
fed exclusively on corn and water will
hardly repay the cost Of feeding. Chi
