STARTED HOME.
The Indian Women and Their Escor
Depart For the Agency.

Yesterday morning the Ogalalla captive,
her mother and sister, accompanied by
the half-breed Antonio Boywa, started on
their return trip to the Pine Ridge agency,
which is nearly three-hundred miles away.
They remained campcd on the northern
shore of Lake Minnehaha until the time
of their departure, except that Antonio
made frequent trips into the city ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of making an attempt
to sell one of the ponies, but in real ty
for the purpose of getting a little fire
water. While they were camped on the
Lake they had many and frequent callers,
among whom were a lot of little boys,
who carried them old boxes and barrels
for fuel. One gentleman in the city sent
them up a quantity of sugar and coffee,
and one party was indiscreet enough to
take them up a bottle Of whisky. Before
they started the whole party rode into the
city and made a few purchases. and by
the time they got ready to start Out the
half-breed, who had imbibed quite freely,
was getting to be heap drunk" but got
out of town all right and without making
any bad breaks. They expect to get back
to the agency in seven days from the time
of their departure. How, how -

MISTAKEN IDENTITY


There are two brothers living in this
city who, while they are moi twins, yet
bear a decided general resemblance to
each other which is very much heightened
oy the similarity of then dress. A few
days since the older of the brothers had Il
college degree conferred upon him and
the matter was mentioned in The LEADER.
The following day an intimate friend hap
pened to meet one of the young men on
the street and approaching him with ex-
tended hand he said:
ALLOW me to congratulate you old fel-
low. You deserve the honors you re.
ceived and more of them"
No doubt" said the young man, with
a smile, but if you refer to that college
degree you are complimenting the wrong
man, for it was my brother who received
it,"
Both gentlemen laughed over the mis-
take and soon separated.
Several hours later, during the course
of the afternoon, the gentleman who
wished to pay the compliment happened
along Seventeenth street and noticing one
of the brothers he approached him and
said:
4 have got you this time, sure enough.
have already congratulated your brother
by mistake, but this time l will congrAtu-
late you yourself"
This happened to be the same brother
whom the gentleman had met in the
morning. Explanations were again made
and the pair parted.
That evening the gentleman happened
to be passing the room of the young man
who received the degree, and having some
other business with him besides, he
knocked at the door. Upon being told to
enter he found but a single occupant in
the room.
I'm getting a little tired of this sort of
thing" said the gentleman, "and before
go any further | want to know if you
are you?"
Il am, for a fact but my brother,
whom YOU probably want to see, has just
stepped out.
Sure enough it proved to be the anne
young man that he had met twice previ-
ously during the course of the day.
Later i'll the evening the gentleman met
the one he had been looking for during
the day, but declined to offer any further
congratulations on the ground that he
wasn't sure whether the young man was
himself or his brother.

Little Joe Benjamin, Il col5red boy,
whose parents reside on Themes street,
accidentally swallowed a silver half dollar
which had been given him to play with.
Medical assistance was at once summoned,
not only one physician but three-Drs.

putting the little fellow under the infu-
ence of chloform. endeavorcd to extri ate
the half-dollar from his stomach, but
without avail. The condition of the child
is a somewhat critical one.b but it is hoped
that no fatal results will follow from this
curious accident.

A proposition was made yesterday to
have a fat mans race on the Fourth,
which took definite shape in the evening,
and the arrangements were agreed upon.
The arrangement are that the race is to
be $50 yards. and a prize, consisting of a
new suit of clothes and a bicycle, is to be
given to the winner of the race. None
except those who weigh 200 pounds and
over can become competitors in the race.
Among those who have entered their
names for the race are: Frank Miller,
Fred Schwartze, II. w. Moore and B. F.
Morgan. Messrs. Charlie Kimme. John
Eames, Boss Caswell, of Denver, and Ed.
Kapp will perhaps signify their intention
of competing in the race to-day. 1t is
thought now that there will be not less
than ten who will try their speed for the
prize.

One Of the ~pleasantest announcement
lately made in a theatrical way, is that of
the appearance of Fay Templeton and her
elegant company in light opera. She
opens an engagement here next Thursday
evening, on which occasion she will pro-
duce The Mascot. While Miss Temple
ton has a large repertoire and does much
brilliant work, in The Mascot above all
others she is pre-eminent. A genuine
treat may be expected. Miss Tenpleton
will be supported by Harry Brown, the

Figures Won't Lie.

The figures showing the enormous yearly
sales of Kidney Wort, demonstrate its
value as medicine beyond dispute. 1t is
a purely vegetable compound of certain
roots, leaves and berries mown to have
special value in Kidney troubles. Com
bined with these are remedies acting
directly on the Liver and Bowels. 1t is
because of this combined action that Kid
ney- Wort has proved such an unequalIed
remedy in all diseases of these organs.

us with increased respect for that pc

The Coming Woman.

If a woman must earn her own liv-
ing there are many technical pursuits,
for which she may be qualified. Lith-;
ography, modelling in clay or wax,
bookkeeping, shorthand writing, wood
carving, chasing In gold and silver,
and many other handicrafts, are now
considered womanly occupations, and
any one of them is apt to prove of more
use to the girl who has her own way to
make than q superficial knowledge of
theologies, languages or music. If a
girl is rich let her be educated to the
full extent of her ability; but she
should also be trained in some profess
sion or paying employment, that she
may be independent Of her money, and
the more self-respecting on that ac-
count. If she chooses she can be as
well-informed as to the world about
her as her brother, and WELD as great
q power In art, in science, in the
field of letters, woman has the posi-
bility of greatness. The storehouses
of knowledge open as readily to her
as to those of the other sex. She
should accurately value the nobility of
labor and the dignity of independence.
Matrlmony IS not the only harDor
in which she may safely anchor, and
catching husband is not the chief end
of life. If an adequate physical train
ing be added TO mental culture, so that
a woman has limbs she can get along
with and stomach that will digest
her dinner, she will join to the vigor
of precedent generations a mental
breadth to which they never attained.
This is the coming woman dreamed of
by the poet, not those other
Laughing stocks of Time
Whose brains are in their hands and in their
heels,
But fit to fiaunt, to dress, to dance, to thrum,
To tramp, to scream, to burnish and to scour,
Forever slaves at home and fools abroad.

WeIsh-looking stranger. In the next
house lived an Irishman named Murphy,
who had bright, interesting daughter,
but he was fond Of whipping her when
anything went wrong with him. This
whipping had been going on some time,
and one day the boarders held an
indignation meeting, and resolved to
go next door and see old Murphy, and
tell him that if he did not stop
correcting that child on every and
on all occasions they would take
him down to the stream and duck
him. None of the guests were especi-
ally brave, but they put on a very brave
front and held the indignation meeting.
Several years afterward one of these
parties, Field, was called to be Justice
of the supreme court. Still later by
several years the republicans in Cali
fornia nominated Gorham for governor,
and they put on the ticket with him
the present United States Senator
Jones. When Jones met Gorham, he
said: care you the little fellow from

WOrking-Girls in Gotham.

The opening OF what is called the
Easter season has given great activity
to the retail trade, says New York
letter, and there has been an increased
demand for clerks. Many young
women from the country have come
hither seeking this kind of employ
ment. This is to be regretted, as there
are Away more of this class here than
the demand requires. To be more ex-
plicit, [ would say that young women
are generally paid one-third less than
men for the same service. A good
saleswoman can earn Sc q week, and in
some instances $40. There are few
who, being very expert, receive $12,
but such instances are rare. A first
class cashier in large establishment
is sometimes paid $15, but this requires
great ability and experience, and, per-
haps, security. There are many wo-
men book-keepers who, after long
practice, earn from So to $40 week,
but such situations are not easily OBJ
tanned. A few of this class earn SIP,
and there is one case mentioned where
a woman of extraordinary ability has
$40 a week, but if man performed
these very dnties he would have one
third more. An inquiry made at the
Christian association brought the reply
that SIS per week is the highest pay
any woman can hope for, either as
teacher or book-keeper. The best pay
is earned by few experienced book
keepers, who are in the service of the
rich families and receive $1,000 a year
with board. Some artificial flower
makers earn $18 per week at this season
of the year, but there are hundreds of
Well-trained women who would be glad
to earn from IS to $40 per week, while
there are thousands whose earning are
from S. to So. The holiday activity, of
course, helps this class, but there are
so many ready for an opening that
there is no encouragement for country
folks.
Speaking of women it may be said
that New York mas more than its share
of working-girls. This results from the
vast number Of poor people living here,
the number being estimated at half
million. All the daughters of this por-
ton Of the community must earn their
living, and in many instances poverty
is aggravated by intemperance. The
appearance of these wOrking-girls is
very distressing. I see groups of them
going in the morning to their places of
employment clad in that homely raj
ment which indicates need, and yet an
occasional flower will show little
taste. Their countenances are uncul-
tivated and generally have a coarse ex-
preston, which one does not find even
in the poorest parts of the country.
There we see simplicity, but here is
degradation. These poor creatures
toll patiently wherever they may find
employment, hardly making bare liy-
ing, and often going at last to the low
est haunts Of vice. 1t is u sad sight
but must always characterize a great
city.
