An Outrageous Indignity.
Ep. DEMOCRAT:

ED. DEMOCRAT:
 Nothing can be entitled to more sympathy and respect or ought to be more sacredly protected than an un. protected lady, and especially, one in the effort to gain a livlihood for herself and family. Such one Tn the person of Mrs. R. Tucker, g worthy lady of Joplin, Missouri came to Russellvillc one day last week and put up at public house, where, from our information, she was the victim of an outrageous in suit offered her by two gentlemen, il such they can be called, one being a we'll known citizen of the town. The lady, as was natural in her extremity, appealed to the hotel proprietor for protection, but was denied it. She was informed that her defamers, one of them, at least, was respectable gentleman, and could not be turned away, and insulted, defenseless, and helpless, she was obliged to seek shelter elsewhere.
 Feeling the just indignation which should swell in the heart of any man, much less gentleman, over such an outrageous insult offered to Q de- fcnseess lady in our midst, and act ing as it seemed to us, in the only way left to yindicate an unprotected lady, a stranger among us-and in the way to prove our love and es- teem for the weaker sex, and our love for our own wives who may by the turn of circumstances be placed in Q like situation with this defense less woman, we took steps first to convince ourselves of the probity and worthiness of her character, and in answer to telegram sent to Jop lin, Mo, at her request, the follow ing was promptly received:
 JOPLIN, Mo-, April 20.-M,s. Tuck er's reputation above reproach. Worlds of reference, if necessary.
 F. E. WILLIAMS,
 Ex-Mayor.
 JOPLIN, Mo-, April 2l.-Mrs. R Tuck. CT has been member oi the Presbyte- rian church for over four years. and connected with our church here over a year. She is regarded as christian woman. We believe her character in vulnerable. REV. CHAs. H. BoHN.
 And we feel it incumbent upon us as citizens of Russellville, and in vindication of her good name to take this step with all it involves, and fol the sake of our good name, and IT the name of outraged womanhood to place upon such an act our un qualified seal of condemnation, ant call down upon it such a visitation as it demands at the hands of Rus sellville society.

oaiI Meeting 0f the RusselIviIie TempSrance Council.

Temperance Council.
 Att a regular meeting of the Coun oil April 2lst, resolution was pass led, calling a meeting at the M- E church, south, Friday night, April 25th, to consider the importance oi our work, and try, if possible, to in. fuse new life into the temperance cause in our town and country.
 We therefore, make this appeal to the members of the council and all lovers of temperance, to be present
 Come one, come all, who love this grand cause, and let us work togeth. CT for the overthrow of whisky, the potent enemy of God and man.
 Hard work has given us the ground we occupy, and hard work alone will maintain it. tlHf
 We have good law, but it will reGss.:s good healthy temperance sentiment to maintain and enforce 1t, and give us better laws. And the only way for us to keep up a strong temperance sentiment, is by hard work and agitation. agsfH
 This jag traffic" and wholesale prescription business" must be put down. And we must sec that tenn perance men alone, are successful at our coming election in September. If we fail to elect temperance (pro hibition) men to fill the various of- fees, our cause will suffer imrAeasur able loss. These facts call loudly for us to work while it is day. eg
 So then, let us have a crowded house next Friday night. Questions will doubtless be considered that will interest all lovers Of the temper ancc cause. Come one, come all.

It is reported that Willard has not

but that he has handed over to other
losers the 100000 that he gave year
ago to his wife, daughter of William
Lloyd Garrison. I hope this is not true.
A man should not pay SO dearly as that
for miscalculation. There's only one
thing that makes me think the report
may be true. In the autumn Of 1862 he

MAGINNIs TO THE FRONT.
Bills and Resolutions Introduced by Our
Delegate in Congress What He
Says About Reducing the
Reservations

The following bills were introduced
by Delegate Maginnis on the 7th inst.
Granting and confirming title to the
Montana collegiate institute OF certain
lands situated in the town Of Deer
Lodge; for the erection of 4, public
building at Helena, to cost $50, 600; for
the relief of Capt. A. Girard, of the
United States army, for quarters burned
at Fort Keogh; to give every man who
has served in one grade fifteen years be-
low the rank of major the pay of the
rank above; to reduce the price of lands
in the Bitter Root valley to $1.25 per
acre, and seven relief bills.
He also presented several joint resolu-
tions OF the Montana legislature. These
resolutions were sent to him at the close
of the last session of congress, but it
being then too late to secure the objects
desired, Maginnis carried them over to
the present session. These resolutions
ask congress to pass bills concerning the
treatment of Indians for depredations
committed by them upon the settlers
and their property; for the reduction of
the military reservation at Fort Keogh :;
for the increase of rates for surveying !;
to take measures to prevent pleuro-
pneumonia among cattle. and to exclude
from the boundaries of the Yellowstone
park Clark's mining district.
REDUCING THE RESERVATIONS.
The following is a portion of a spe-
cial dispatch to the Pioneer Press of the
Sch: The Indian commission, of which
Senator Dawes is chairman, are awaiting
a communication from the secretary of
theinterior enclosing the correspondence
and documents of the Sioux commission.
When those are received Mr.. Dawes
will call meeting Of the commission to
consider the subject and prepare their
report for transmission to congress. The
object of the commission was to visit
certain Indian reservations, among
them the great Sioux in Dakota, and
the Grow and Piegan reservations in
Montana, with the view of ascer
tanning the propriety of vacating or
reducing them. Delegate Maginnis,
who is member Of the Dawes commits
sion, said to-day he believed the COM
mission would favor reduction Of all
the reservations in Montana and Of the
Sioux reservation III Dakota. He thinks
these reservations are mnch larger than
they should be to meet the requirements
of the Indians, and that the rapid occu-
patton of the northwest by white settlers
is creating demand for the millions of
acres embraced in these reservations.
