The five civilized tribes of Indians

The five civilized tribes of Indians,
known as the Cherokecs, Creeks,
Choctaws, Chickasaws and Semi
noles, should have their lands allot-
ted OF them in severalty. Each
member OF the tribe should be given
at least 160 acres of land and the
rest should be sold for their benefit
and the proceeds securely invested
for them. Then the country should
be opened to white settlement and
the country admitted as territory.
1t will be far better for the Indians
themselves and infinitely better for
the States now adjoining this In.

FROM RussELLvILLE.

GoDEx's LADY's Book for August is a
delightful number, bandsomer in APP
pearance, and more generally satisfac-
tory than any of its predecessors. Ev-
cry month seems to mark a stride in
the progress of this popular magazine.
The present issue opens with beauti-
full CHIARo-oscURo cut Of "My Pets, a
fine study of animal life as contrasted
with graceful girlhood. and grouped
against a strong background of nature.
The illustrations this month are capt.
tai. A series of letters describing the
trials of one pressed into service to
write another's love-letters, under the
title of IA Postscript" are particular
ly good. GoDEY's never looked better
than it looks now. In this day, when
so many old publications are verging
toward decrepituds and dotage, it is q
pleasure to find one that defies the
march Of time, and still preserves its
pristine viger and freshness while the
years roll on. That all may be con-
WINGED OF its merits, the Publisher Of

ADDITIONAL ST. PAUL NEWS.
Mistaken Identity.

A peculiar instance of one man being so
nearly the counterpart of another as to
puzzle the wife of the latter, when asked
to st@t3 whether or not he was her husband.
occurred in West st. Paul yesterday. The
matter was brought about by the arrest of
man named Godfrey Mertz, who was
taken in custody on Wednesday evening by
Detective DAILY on suspicion of being the
man wanted at Hastings for disposing of
goods under chattel mortgage. When the
officer arrived from Hastings yesterday he
said that Mertz, although bearing the same
name and engaged in the same occupation,
was not the person wanted. He was ac-
cordlngly released and at once started for his
home on Rondo street, where he supposed
a neWly-made wife was anXiously waiting
his return. Arriving there, the house was
deserted. He returned at once to the city
hall and asked for an officer to help him
lind his wife. After little search she was
found at the house OF brother in West st.
raul, but the brother refused to allow her
to return, on the ground that Mertz was
married to another woman living on Day
toms bluff, and that the woman he was
after was wife No. 2. Mertz denied that
he was married to any other woman,
eeAi'i W oCoolO tilC ludtUCl lllC WOuldu sup
posed to be Wife No. was called on.
When Mertz was taken before her she was
asked if that were her husband The VIC
man was completely nonplussed, and after
sizing him up for about three minutes said:
''Well, really don't know, but 1 think my
husband is a larger man than that"
Though indefinite, the remark was suffi-
Gent to satisfy the other Mrs. Mertz that
her husband was not bigamist, and she
agreed to return home with him. The coin
cidence seems remarkable one, as the
husbands of both women are not only alike
in name and occupation, both being butch
ers, but the men seem to resemble each
other so much that one woman could not
positively say the man was not her hus-
band. But while one woman has her hus-
band at home the other one has not seen
hers for the past five months.

Excitement at the Capitol.

An exciting scene was witnessed at the
capitol Wednesday morning. A lot of
horses, a hundred or so, were being driven
by, when half dozen of them broke away
and leaped the fence into the beautiful
lawn about the capitol. Mr. Hammond,
the assistant governor of Minnesota, owns
that lawn, and when he saw the untamed
horses trampling OH the sward where none
but himself with his lawn mower are ever
permitted to set foot, it ratified him. He
cOllared an innocent bystander, and, show
ing his star, told him he was under arrest.
The stranger protested his innocence, while
the horses tramped down the sward. Re-
leasing his first prisoner, he ran to the
street and captured team that was passing
and told the driver that it was under ar
rest. Arguments were useless, and Asst.
Gov. Hammond was about to court-lnartial
the team on the spot, when, in the absence
of Gov. Hubbard and Adjt. Gen. MacCar-
thy, Gen. Jennison was petitioned and or
dered it released from arrest. After the
owner of the grounds had telephoned for
the patrol wagon, and the horses had bro
ken through few boards on the walk and
rolled several times in the fresh grass, the
blue wagon came, the intruders were turned
into the street, quiet was restored, and, save
that the proprietor of the grounds was per-
spring little more freely than usual, no
serious harm was done.

BROWNSVILLE, June 25.-Our community
was greatly shocked, yesterday, by the in
telligence of the death, by suicide, of Mrs.
Jane Eager, wife of Mr.. Charles Eager,
who lived two miles east of this village.
She had been unwell for some time but
appeared unusually cheerful that morning,
and assisted her housekeeper, Mrs. Peck,
in preparing breakfast for the family. She
concealed her husbands razor in her pocket.
and stepping into her bedroom, locked the
door behind her. Mr.. Eager, who was
working near her open window, heard her
groan, and going into the house. found her
door locked and ran to the open window.
She was kneeling ON the floor with the
razor beside her, and the blood streaming
from three CHASTITY gashes in her neck. He
jumped through the window and found she
had severed the jugular vein and windpipe,
and was dying. She lived about an hour

REFORM FRoM WITHIN.

IKE Chicago Herald is deserving of credit
from the Democratic party, whose prnci-
pies it SO ably champions. for its denuncia-
ton of MACKIN and VAN PELT for signing
a call for a city convention as secretary and
chairman respectively. MAcKIN it de-
nounceS as a convicted scoundrel, and VAN
PELT is characterized as blatan
trickster. And it takes the bold but
tenable position that the party must
rise superior to such self-assu;ned
leadership or suffer the defeat it will
otherwise so richly deserve in November.
The Herald is right. No newspaper can
afford to recognize the leadership of such
men within the party for whose principles
it contends. The time for servile organ
grinding Oil the part of respectable papers
for such leaders has gone by i'll this c0un-
try. The time has come When great news
papers should insist upon the best men in
their party coming forward and forcing the
tricksters 10 the rear. Such men as
