The Highest Award.

Among the brewed beverages of the world the Anheuser-Bu Beer, made by the Anheuser-Buseh Brewing Associ. a,ion of s.. Louis. Mo, takes the lead. The highest awards have been given this beer over all others wherever exhibited both in America and Europe; notably. at Philadelphia in 1876, at Paris in 1878 and at the Worlds Exposition, Ams,er- dam, 1885. on which occasion all of the European brewers of note competed for the prize. These facts supported by the popularity of the Anheuser-Busch beer among beer consumers everywhere are indisputable.
 For the convenience of their trade the Association has established beer and ice depo,s al numerous points throughout the country. where the dealer may obtain supplies in small quantities and avoid the delay which would be occasioned fl compelled to order direct from S. Louis. They have an extensive depot of this kind in Little Rock under the manage ment of H. F. Mons, who will give prompt attention to all shipments. Ad- dress all orders 10

International Copyright. Modern Age for March.l

Publishers have been held responsible for the ron adoption of international copyright heretofore. It is true that some publishers have opposed il, bat they were few n number. and, such as there were, wished to protect some special interests. To the trade in general we think its adop- ton would be an advantage of great value-the exceptions being those houses which handle cheap reprints. The busi- ness has been injured by the mass of cheap reading which floods the market. By it the profit in book-making has been cut down so far that there is no margin for experiments, and untried authors find their difficulties in finding publisher immeasurably increased, while the pub fisher finds himself reduced to figuring on how little profit will permit him 10 re- main in business. Great fortunes have been made in the legitimate publishing trade, but their foundations were estae- lished and their connections made before the cheap librar une into vogue. IL is the reading pabi.c that would be the main sufferer b, the change. and the pro- meters of the present movement will find the impossibili,y of rousing the people the great obstacle in the way of accomp- fishing their end. Where the individual conscience is not aroused against the wickedness of buying piiated book at a low price, it. will be hard to rouse col lective indignation. The man who buy reprin; for ten or twenty cents, when a book of the same size by native writer or a "protected foreigner would cost from one dollar and half to three dol lars. is apt to think more of the money saved to him individually than of the p ossible wrong he may be doing some far-of foreign writer. He probably does not think of the latter fact at all or, if he does, quiets his conscience with the thought that if a mans writings are worth pirating here, they doubtless afford him an ample income where he is pro- tected by the copyright laws of his own country. From purely business poin, of view, and looking at it from the pub fishers standpoint, we should be glad to see the project succeed.

The head of the state deps,t- ment found the problem too deep nd transmitted Mir. Harte's letter to he treasury department. Secretary Folger wrestled with the question and used about four sheets of foolscap in replying that the last port meant the last port.

McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-07-10

THOSE Starving" Indians in Eastern
Montana, who have been reported as
feeding on range cattle, are now believed
by the secretary of the interior to be a
party of Black Kettles band, who have
been living in the Tongue river valley
tor the last four years. If this is the
case the secretary of the interior says
that they will not be disturbed. They
surrendered to Gen. Miles at Fort Keogh,
after the war in which Sitting Bull
surrenderd, and the general permitted
them to remain where they are now
instead of sending them to a reservation.
He disarrled them, and sold most of
their ponies, using the proceeds to buy
plows, wagons and cattle. They settled
down to farming voluntarily; broke their
ponies to plows and wagons, built them
selves houses, and have been very sue
cessful. Several Of the Indians have
entered homesteads and are living upon
them. They have received no aid what
ever from the government, except the
first winter after the war, when they
were furnished a small quantity of -four
by the war department. Until recently
they have been theoretically prisoners of
war, having never been officially turned
over to the care of the Indian bureau by
the army, and have no agent. 1t is the
only instance in history where migratory
Indians have voluntary commenced
farming and have been self-supporting,
and the secretary of the interior will
see that they are protected. 1t may
be that they are having trouble with
the ranchmen and have killed cattle,
but it is more probable that the ranch
men are trying to drive them out of
good grazing valley.-Bec.

amiable, spirited and all that made
fine type of Americas fair daughters.
