interview has been obtained with Roman
Nose, the renegade Sioux, who has cast
his lot with the Cheyennes. and has an
parently devoted all his energies 10 max
ing trouble. He has confederate fol.
lowing among the Cheyennes and has led
several raids on the cattle of the COM
panies which have bond grazing land from
the Cheyennes and Arapshoes. His COM
plants are chiefly against the cattle COM
panies, which he asserts have fenced in
much of the best hunting land and forced
the Indians to tramp over sterile plains in
search of game. He claims that tho paw.
ments made by the cattle companies to the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes are not fairly
divided and that the cattle turned over
to the Indians and branded to denote
their ownership are "gobbled" by the
bigger chiefs to the exclusion of the
lesser ones. He believes that before long
there will be general Indian war and

with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and

The RurM Men Yorker, from n careful
analysis of over $500 special crop re-
ports from his subscribers, practical
farmers, in every state and territory in
the Union estimates that the winter
wheat crop will aggregate 2l0,0OO, 900
bushels and the spring wheat crop 1885,
900, making an aggregate of $685.
000,0 bushels, n falling off of 147, 0OO,-
600 bushels from last years crops. Oats
will be the largest crop ever harvested. Rye
and barley fair crops. The corn area is
larger than ever before, and outlook good
for IN average yield per acre. There will
be an average crop of potatoes, and a
considerable increase in the acreage of
tobacco. The cotton prospects are highly
promising, despite the injury from
insects in Texas and other places. Secre-
tary Sims of the state board of agricul.
ture of Kanses, estimates the spring
wheat yield in that state at 1890, 500
bushels, with favorable weather until
harvest. This is an increase over last
year of 81, 4S2 bushels.

tinues the Times, that the police force is

absolute safety of citizens travelling by
any conveyance upon the streets ct
Chicago, 1t Is manifestly the duty Of some
body to invoke higher and more
efhcacious power. The state maintains
militia Of some strength which should
have been called upon long ago, and
if this is not sufficient for the purpose,
then the national arm should be invoked.
It would be cheaper for Chicago to pay
the cost of lining every street car with
soldiers than to suffer for another day
the calamity it has endured for week."
The eight men arrested for participa-
ton in the attack upon the street cars
yesterday afternoon were arraigned be-
fore justice of the peace this forenoon

THE UNIVERSITY OF cHIc4ao.
The Wife of stephen A. Douglas
Gains a Decree for iIae Land.

CHICAGO, July Judge Shepard has
given decree in the case of Mrs. Adelia
Williams, wife of the late Stephen A.
Douglas and Robert and Stephen A.
Douglas against the University of
Chicago, N. X. Farmland and o. w.
Barrett. The suit was brought to recover
title to the university property and lands.
1t was alleged that the trustees of the
university forfeited their trust in suffer-
ing mortgage on the property to be
foreclosed, the property thereby reverting
to the heirs of Stephen A.
Douglas. The decree is to the
effect that Stephen A. Douglas
decided thu property ON which the uniyer-
sity is erected to John G. Burroughs, on
condition that the title should remain
forever in the university. lby conveyance
made by the trustees of the university to
L. d. Boone, it violated the conditions
imposed by Stephen A. Douglas in his
gift of the land, and the property accord
ingly reverted to his heirs-at-law. The
university and its trustees are ordered to
convey the premises TO the complaiiants
and in default, after 10 days from the
entry of the decree, II. T. Steele, master
in chancery, is ordered TO make convey
ance of the property.

Linens. The best word we
ever have to say of linen is
that linen here is really
linen. We have to say it over
and over because linen"
elsewhere is apt to be half
cotton.
Let's not do injustice to
even one of our craft. There
is a store in town-one store
among the hundreds-in which
you never get cotton for
linen; one store besides our
own; one store that is care
full to serve its customers hon
estly in the matter of linen.
Let's not do injustice to the
hundreds who sell cotton-and-
linen for linen. The very fact
that almost every merchant
does it, here and everywhere
else, is held to make it mer-
cantile-mark the word-if
not honest. After all do we
blame ourselves very much
when we are about as honest
in trade as the average dealer?
We are not calling our crafts
men hard names. We are
simply stating a fact that
every merchant knows to be-
fact-that Linen" is often cot
ton-and-linen.
Why don't we conform to
the current usage?
A fair question. The
answer is easy. We sell one
fortieth Of all the pure linen
that comes to the United
States from Ireland, Scotland,
England, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, France and Russia.
Is the question answered?
The statement is an extra
ordinary one-an astounding
one. One retail store not in
The largest city, not in the
centre Of trade, sells one-for-
tieth Of all the pure linen that
llfty-millions of people buy
1t is true, if the u. S. Custom
Returns are true; and it has
been true for three years !!
There's another fault in the
lower grades of linen" that
needs to be thought of: the
presence of woody fibre-tow.
There's a difference in that re.
spect. No low-grade linen
is clear Of it. Butcher's-linen
at 40 cents and under ismostly
tow. Table-linen at 40 cents
and under is either tow, half
cotton, or both. Glass-towel-
ing at 10 cents and under is
either tow, halfcotton, or both.
1t isn't practicable to avoid
tow altogether, All coarse
table, linen, toweling and butch
er s-linen are tow-not flax.
Few merchants are expert in .
linens; few care to be exact
in having them true; they are
eager to buy close" as the
phrase goes. The demand
IS for cheap linens" OF
course the linen-makers make
what is wanted. Tow isn't
going to be wasted. What
ought to be done with it?
Clearly it ought to be sold for
tow.
The whole secret of our
linen trade is this: We en-
PIloy a linen-expert to gather
linens and sell them. We
sell |; e. them with full response
blllty:: Bring them back, if
you find them anything differ
ent from what they are sold

This is said to be the first summer since
1916 in which farm laborers ia this lati-
tude have found it comfortable to wear
coats in the harvest field. In 1916 there
was frost every month in the year and in
some parts of New York state ice formed
during the night of July Sd. We trust
that no such experience is in store for us
this summer, but the air was frosty
enough last Tuesday night to noticeably
affect some towering plants growing in
the shade of trees, fences or buildings in

The celebration of the Fourth i'll Will
mington was success, There were no
fires nor accidents of importance and but
trihing breaches OF the peace. The mayors
proclamation had the effect of lessening
materially the pandemonium of noise
which used to be considered essential to
the proper celebration of the day, and
this was all that could be reasonably ex-
pected. The time has not yet come when
either proclamations or police can impart
Sunday quietude to the Fourth of July;
all that can be done is to regulate the
noise its abolition, if that ever comes,
must be due to the growth of public
opinion that shall frown down the ex.
plosion of crackers, pistols and swiyels
as an intolerable nuisance.
