three weeks of the session prior to
the Christmas vacation will be devot-
ed to revising the house rules so as to
facilitate legislation. There is a dis
position among members of the
house of representatives to liberate
that body from the letters that have
bound it for the past dozen years.
These restrictive conditions extend
so far that the last congress was
only able to act in two ways-by
unanimous consent, and by consent
of the committee on appropriations.
In reforming the house rules an
amendment much needed is this
that motion to adjourn out of re-
spect to the memory of a deceased
member, Or to appoint day for the
delivery of obituaries TO him, shall

ticable. He advises that each In
dian family be given an absolute
title to 800 acres of land on the res
ervation, the balance left after this
allotment to be sold and the proceeds
to be invested in United States
bonds, the income from which would
constitute a sum larger than appro-
priations. This would be the In
dams money, and should be devoted
to helping them in their new career,
or to their absolute support if neces-
sary. The report is refutation of
the charge that the army officers are
harsh in their policy toward the In
dams. As the lieutenant general
says, the army is often engaged in
defending the Indians against the
whites in one section, and the whites
against the Indians in another.

ten feet wide. The plan is to make
the road higher than the snow of the
fields. not TO shovel the snow out of
the road, but to let the wind blow it
in, while the roller packs it down.
When the snow on the sides of the
road settles it viii be left high, and
wide and solid Then the wind will
sweep the road clean of soft snow
every thaw, every rain, every freeze
will solidify the road. Ii so much
snow drifts in at once that the teams
which draw the roller can not get
through, they shovel off as much of
the top Of the drift as may be neces-
sary to let them pass, and pack down
the remainder solid. Thus the wind,
which is the road diggers' worst adj
versary, blowing in, in the night
what he has sfovelled out the day
before, becomes the road builders
great helper. He packs down by
day what the wind shovels in while
he slept. When the road is thus
built it will require comparatively lit
tie labor to keep it good, until more
snow falls. When thaw comes
this solid snow OF ice in the road is
the last to melt. In the spring
it does not ''slump," but melts next
to the ground, settling down evenly,
and after the snow in the fields is
gone, sleighs and wagons can both
run upon the thin scale of ice which
is left.
II we had such wide, solid roads
stretching over our state in place of
the clogged up canals which we have
been accustomed to founder, the as
pect of life during the winter season
among us would be greatly changed.
One of the first requisites for the
development of the resources of any
country is adequate facilities for COM
munication. IT'S maxim ono civ
llization without roads," Our uncer-
tain roads are a great hindrance to
| useful social entertainments in the
long winter evenings, to business of
every kind, TO the work of the school
and the church. The roller system
for winter roads is far greater i'm
provement over the present system
than is the road machine for summer
roads, valuable as that is. 1t is not
a novelty but has been successfully
tried for many years in some towns
of the state.
Why will shrewd yankees continue
to pay two dollars for poor road
when they can secure q good road
for one dollar? G. A. S.

THE SERVIAN BULGARIAN
WAR.

The dispatches from the seat of
war show that Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria is following up his advan-
tage brilliantly and has nearly rid his
borders of the Servian invader. Sofia
is wild with excitement over news
that Alexander stormed the nights of
Tsaribrod, Milan's late headquarters,
and occupied the city Monday even
ing. The prince made triumphal
entry into the city and was received
with enthusiasm by the people. The
Servians attacked the Bulgarian CEN
ter at o'clock of the afternoon of
the 23d. They were repulsed, and
retired in disorder, crossing the from
tier at o clock, near Tsaribrod.

positions at I'm. The Bulgarians
have advanced to the frontier. Wild

Nebraska regulates the sale of

The report of the internal revenue
bureau for last year is made public,
Secretary Manning removing the IN
junction of secresy. The total re-
ceipts from all sources of internal
revenue taxation for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1885, were $112,421,-
121, as compared with $121 ,590,039
for 1884, $144, 553, 344 for 1888,
and $146, 523,273 for 1882. 1t is
estimated that the receipts for last
year would be about $115. 10000
and that they fell over 100000
short of the estimate, the commits
sioner says, resulting from the seven
months extension allowed for the
expol tation of distilled spirits in bond
on which the tax was due. He adds
that there are now about 100000
gallons of distilled spirits abroad,
which, 10 find market, will have to

smallest amount OF any state, and
the only other contributing less than
Maine is Mississippi. Illinois pays

close examination to tell that he was
dead, and Mrs. Hendricks screamed
and ran Downstairs. A servant was
dispatched to the residence of Dr..
Thompson adjoining, and he came
Immediately, but by the time he
reached the bedside, the limbs of the
distinguished dead man were becom-
ing cold and rigid, and to Mrs. Hen
bricks pathetic appeal, ''Oh, doctor,
can't you do something's" he was
obliged to answer, at is too late. !"
Mrs. Hendricks became almost dis
tracted with grief, and it was an hour
or more before she became sufficient
ly composed to give any information
about her husbands last movements.
The family servants, two of whom
had lived with them for years, ran
about the house crying and moaning,
and there was the utmost confusion
for time. When the news was bull
lentined downtown, it was generally
discredited and in few minutes
hundred or more of Mr.. Hendricks
close political and personal friends
had hurried to his house. Soon a
great crowd had collected around
the entrance and on the street, and
it was found necessary to refuse ad
mission to all corners except immedi-
ate relatives.
DR.. Thompson says that in his
opinion Mr.. Hendricks died with par
alysis of the brain, and there will
probably be a post-mortem examina
ton. For several years he had not
been a robust man, and was subject
to many chad SPELLS" as he called
them, during which he would be pros
trated sometimes for days at time.
About two years ago he was confined
to his room for several weeks by a
gangrenous affection of the feet,
which at the time it was feared would
result in fatal blood poisoning, but
he apparently recovered entirely
from this. While in Washington
during the last session of Congress
he was overworked and almost worn
out by the press of political matters,
and upon his return home he signlfied
his intention of laying aside all pub
lie business this summer and devot-
ing the time to recreation. At the
reception he attended Tuesday night,
however, he appeared to be unusual
ly cheerful and remained much later
than was his custom on such occa-
sions.

THE NEW INDIAN POLICY


A considerable portion of lieulen-
ant General Sheridan's annual report
OF the operations Of the army is de-
voted to the Indian question. He
defends General Crook against the
sneering charge that the gallant COM
mander in Arizona is a sentimental
list. On the contrary. the lieutenant
general considers Gen. Crook the
best man in the army to conduct OPP
erations like those carried on against
the Apaehes. With regard TO the
settlement OF the Indians the lieuten-
ant general suggests plan which
certainly at this distance seems prac-
