The Sioux Reservation.
Omaha Bee.

The Sioux reservation, large por-
ton of which is to be thrown open to
settlement, includes $4,000 square
miles, living between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills country. The sem
ate committee on Indian affairs has rec
commended the passage of bill provid-
ing that Il, 900 square miles, or about
ten million acres, be opened for settle
ment. The land is in two tracts. The
first is situated between the Cheyenne
and White rivers for the northern and
southern boundaries, and the Black
Hills and the Missouri river for the
western and eastern boundaries. The
second strip is between the 102d and
1O3d meridian of west longitude and
the Cheyenne river on the south and
Cedar Creek on the South Fork of the
Cannon-Ball river on the north. The
committee proposes that for this ces
sion the Indians shall receive as many
cattle as, in the opinion of the secre-
tary of the interior, they can well use.
The bill which accompanies the report
provides for the sale of this coded tract
to actual settlers only, at 80 cents per
acre, the payment to be made for each
section of land in four equal annual
installments. The proceeds of this sale
are to be invested in fund by the Sec
rotary of the interior to be kept for the
benefit of the Indians. The bill ex-
empts this tract from the operations of
the pre-emption and timber culture
laws.
By this arrangement both the Mil
waukee and Northwestern roads will be
enabled to build west from Chamber
lain and Pierre to the Black Hills, and
the Northern Pacific to put out a spur
to the south.
The Milwaukee and the Northwest
ern have paid the Indians SIS per acre
for the land which they need for their
right of way, and bills are now pend
ing in the senate for the ratification of
these agreements. There is little doubt
that they will be ratified, so that even
if there should be delay in securing the
benefit of the entire tract the railroads
will have the right of way.
The opening of the reservation, how
ever, will probably not occur as soon
as expected or desired, owing to the
fact that the proposed bill reafirms the
treaty Of 1868, which provides that no
treaty with the Sioux shall be binding
unless ratified by three-fourths of the
adults. Last summer the Sioux utterly
refused to sign the treaty then offered.
but if this bill passes both houses Sena.
tor Dawes committee will visit their
country next summer and try to induce
them to accept its liberal provisions
The members of the committee fee
that the pressure upon the Sioux reser.
walton is too great to be longer resisted
and that the Indian will do best to &C
cept the liberal provisions now likel!
to be offered them. Under these cir
cumstances it will be seen that the open
ing of the reservation cannot be made
until sometime next winter. Therefore
the reservation will remain closed fol

The Champion High Kicker OF America.


Fred A. Ansell resides at Little Val
ley, Cataraugus county, where he was
born in 1866. He stands six feet in
height and weighs 14S pounds. He has
been known locally as a high kicker
since he was 9 years of age, but it was
not until recently that he became
known as the champion standing high
kicker of the United States. At a ma
tional exhibition of high kickers from
all parts of the country, held at the
city of Boston on October 81, 1888, at
which there were sixty-fve contestants
present, he won the championship by
defeating them all by IS inches,
making q record of ! feet II IA inches.
He has never been beaten in a contest,
and expects to increase his record, rs
he is in steady practice.

Came the summer, came the autumn,
with It's boar frost and its rain.
Passed the cold and snowy winter
Then twas springtime once again.
In the springtime came my lover,
Tall and handsome. but not vain;
Came In springtime with the flowers
Then came summer once again.
Summer, with its buds and blossoms,
And Its fields Of golden grain;
= But the days went all too quickly
twas autumn once again.
Game the soft and bright November.
Spite the hoar frost and the rain;
Pledged we love before the altar
Then twas winter once again.
Mid the soft white SHOWS of winter,
Passed we gayly DER the main;
Reached the far-or land with flowers
Then came springtime once again.
Oh, the blue, the blue-skied April,
With its warm and rushing rain;
Then came May and apple blossoms
1t was summer once again.
Summer here in good old Florence,
Mid its fields of golden grsiu;
But the light had fed the sunshine
Then came autumn once again.
Came the dull and dark November,
With its boar frost and its rain.
In the church-yard lay my husband
1t was winter once again.
Mid the chill white SHOWS of winter,
Passed sadly o'er the main;
Passed I, but alone and lonely
1t was winter once again.

trials, the woman being no less cour-
ageous than her husband. The follow
ing particulars of the late attack were
learned from his own lips:
That morning the mail drivers came
in from opposite directions and met at
his ranch. The one from Matthew'S
arrived first, and brought the intelli-
gence that tie country behind him was
swarming with savages on the war
path. Fortunately they had not seen
him, and he dashed up his horses, put
ting them at the top of their speed, and
came into the station on run.
Half an hour later the driver from
down the river drove quietly in, and
the three men made hasty prepare
tions for defense. They knew that
they could save themselves, but that
the stock was lost. When the Indians
came in sight with whoop the white
men retired within the four strong
walls of their fortress, and the first
thing the savages did was to drive of
the animals. After trying in vain to
draw out the men after them the In.
dams made a direct assault. Some
kept up heavy fusilade on the ranch
while others set fire to the grass 81
that the wind would carry it IN the di
rection of the building.
Under cover of the smoke Taylol
and his companions sailed out anl
wet the grass in order to prevent tn,
fire from burning up the ranch, which
was built of lighter and dryer mate
