a writer in the st. Paul Pioneer Press
who dates his letter at Watertown, Da-
kota, discusses the attitude OF the DEM
ocratio party in It's opposition to division
and statehood. He says:
1t is significant that the prime mover
in the matter of dlsoouraging demo.
Gratis from attending or lndorsing the
Sioux Falls convention is D. NJ, Inman,
the Vermillion banker, who is known to
oppose the division of Dakota, and
whom, it will be remembered, the DEM
ocratic territorial convention, at Pierre,
q year ago sat down hard upon. It was
the democratic boast ct that time that
no Ordway man need expect any prefer.
ment at the hands of the democracy of
Dakota. The Ordway administration
was reviled as republican regime. with
the questionable transaction of which
democrats went so far as to connect
prominent republicans at Washington,
some whom stood very near the admins.
tration. It is curious spectacle, then,
which the democratic party of Dakota
would present, should it follow D. NJ
1nman's lead into the camp of the en-.
emies of division and the friends Of ex.
Gov. Ordway.
These are the facts in the case. Da.
kota democrats are herding with theil
old time enemy.

Sioux Falls, DIT, June 24-The third
day of the south Dakota tiremen's
tournament was an exciting one. The
Sioux Falls team'got away with pretty
nearly everything. This was the
nickel-plated hose cart and also the hose
coupling contest. The 300 yard hose
race was won by Sioux Falls in 46
1.6 seconds. The Chamberlain team
made it in Al 7-10; Deadwood, 40 LILO;
Huron, 5023; Aberdeen got no time.
One of the men of the latter team fell,
and was run over by the cart and had
three ribs broken: The boys are paint
ing the town red tonight. The
hose coupling contest was also won by
the Sioux Falls team. The following is
the score: Sioux Falls, 64-5 seconds;
Aberdeen, No. l, 1876; Aberdeen, No. Q,
Z l-2; Deadwood, 92-5; Huron, ~ 3-4 !;
Chamberlain, no time. The Sioux City
team arrived at noon and were received
with bands Of music and banners. The
Mitchell team won the novelty hook and
ladder contest by the bad performance
of the other teams, none of which got
any time. The novelty laddelmen's con.
test and the lCO yard foot race was post
poned until to morrow. These contests,
together with the sweepstakes hose race
will give US big day for tomorrow.

THE CHEYENNEs.

Their Outbreak the Result Of TrOu-
bles Which Originated in the Past.
Washington, June 24-The outbreak
of Cheyenne Indians which was threat.
ened Saturday last has been brewing for
year or longer. Army officials here
attributed it to q dissatisfaction on the
part of the Indians of leasing their res.
ervation to cattlemen. The Cheyennes'
reservation is one of the largest in In.
dian territory. 1t comprises about H.
279, 600 acres. OF this amount more
than 100000 acres are controlled by
cattlemen who are grazing vast herds.
The Indians are divided on the question
of leasing land, the majority apparently
being opposed to it. It is said here by
officials that cattle men have
resorted to questionable methods in
securing control of ranches. Re.
ports on file at the Office of the commits.
sloner of Indian affairs indicate that the
leasing of lands was the original cause
of trouble among the Indians. Imme.
dlately after assuming his duties Agent
Dyer informed the interior department.
that trouble was threatened
and that unlens precaution
ary measures were taken or
outbreak would be inevitable. He ask.
ed that 1000 cavalrymen be sent to the
reservation. As reason for his state
ment, Agent Dyer said that his prede
cessor had not exercised strict contro
over the Indians; that they had beel
allowed to do as they wished. Dyer
on assuming the duties of the agency
endeavored to control the Indians. d
reported to the commissioners of Indial
affairs that they laughed at his at
tempts and boasted that the governmen
could do nothing with them. Agen
Dyer was IN Washington some week
since. He urged that 5000 cavalry me-
be sent to the reservation as soon as pot

them that the government had sufticier

The regular annual adjustment of
postmaster's salaries has just been com.

throughout Dakota is the result. In the
states reduced salaries for postmastere
seems to be the rule and nearly twelve

been assigned to the fourth class. Of

Bishop Hare, who opposed the occu-
patton Of the Winnebago and Crow
Creek tract by whites has now inter.
posed in behalf of the settlers. He
writes the president that, while no
doubt good deal of land thrown open
by President Arthur's proclamation
has heen taken up purely for speculat-
i've purposes, there are many worthy
bona fde settlers who believed the ex-
ecutive order which declared the res
ervation open to be valid, final and con.
elusive. These are chiefly persons of
small means, who have spent their oil in
reaching the reservation and in making
improvements. Their disposession
would, the bishop believes, work meal
culable hardships and drive them tc
desperation. Their case, the bishop
urges, appeals powerfully to every fail
minded man, and he invokes the gen.
erous aud immediate consideration O
the government.

How Grant Taught His First Regi-
ment to Obey Orders.

"The story about how General Grant
subdued The threatened insubordina-
ton in the Twenty-first Regiment when
he took command of it would bear tell
ing a little more in detail than you tell
it tonight" said Major William E.
Waite, an old veteran of the early days
of the war, last evening. " was in
the Twelfth Illinois, the regiment of
which John Macarthur was colonel and
General Chetlain lieutenant-colonel,
and was near enough to Springfield at
the time to know all about it. The
boys of the Twenty-frst were new in
the service in those days, and hadn t
begun to realize the necessity for dis
cipline as well as they understood ii
later, nor did they appreciate the Sc
robustness of the business they were to
engage in, or anticipate the hardships
they would have to undergo as thor
oughly as they came to do subsequently.
They had been ordered to Missouri, as
you say, and had refused to go in the
freight cars which had been provided
for their transportation, saying if they
couldn't have passenger cars they
wouldn't 90 at all This was Just be-
fore Grant took command, and he heard
of it as soon as he reached the camp.
But he didn't make any fuss about it
or explain to anybody how he intended
to get around the difficulty. He simply
sent for the officers of the several
companies and told them he would like
to have the regiment drawn up in light
marching order as soon as possible
The regi nent was forthwith drawn up
and after a few simple maneuvers the
order to march was given, and. putting
himself at the head, Grant led them out
along the road and kept them moving
After they had gone two or three miles
the boys began to jeer at their com.
mander and to make all sorts of remarks
about their tramp, but Grant simply
rode back along the line, telling the
officers that they must keep their mer
in line, as their commissions depended
on it. So the regiment kept marching
Meantime there was anxiety at Spring
field to know where it had gone
There had been anxiety before to know
how to get it off, since everybody kne "
the men had refused to go in the cars
provided. Now it had gone, the cars
were still standing there on the track
and nobody seemed to know what hat
happened or how it had happened
Later on some farmers came in and re
ported that they had seen a regimen
moving off down towards Decatur il
very good shape, and the idea was sug
gested that perhaps this was the
Twenty-first On inquiry this was as
certained to be the fact, and the freigh
cars were sent after them. BY tn,
time they overlook them the boys wer,
glad enough to ride in them, and from
that time on the Twenty-first was will
ing to follow Grant wherever he LEI
the way"

Cocaine as n Cure-AlI.

Cocaine is becoming one of the popu-
lar remedies of the day. Its function
Of allaying the sensibility of the nerves
of mucous membranes and other tissues
renders it valuable in surgical opera
tons and in the treatment of throat and
lung affections. 1t also possesses cura-
tive properties, and can be used add
vantageously where there is local irrita-
ton to be removed and reflex nervous
disturbances to be prevented. In con-
sequence of its remarkable qualities and
of the prominence given to it in the
medical treatment received by General
Grant, it is now coming into general
use. Hay-fever is not by any means
the only disease for which it is declared
to be an effective remedy. The chemists
who are compromising cocaine tabloids
for the noses of catarrhal patients are
also putting up cocaine troches for the
throats of sufferers from bronchial and
pulmonary complaints. There is reason
for believing that the market will
speedily be flooded with cocaine lozen-

Advantage will be taken of the sudden
reputation which this singularly eff
fective curative agent and anesthetic
has obtained. Cocaine will be recog-
nized by patent-medicine manufacturers
as popular catchword, and the bust
ness of prescribing and compounding
it will be speedily overdone. That there
is need OF great caution in the pro-
miscuous application of so powerful an
agent as cocaine to every i'll to which
flesh is heir requires no argument.
While it is not by any means a new
drug, its characteristic property of
deadening the sensibility of nerves has
only been known for comparatively
short period. Sufficient time has not
yet elapsed to enable the medical pro-
fession to judge of what may be called
systemic or general effects of the use
of cocaine. 1t would be natural to sup
pose that an agent capable of producing
such potent results when applied to
surfaces where nerves terminate must
affect the entire nervous system when
it is freely and constantly used. There
is no more interesting question in
therapeutics at the present time than
the reflex influences upon nervous
centers and physical organization of
such agents as cocaine. General
Grants physicians can supply valuable
information to medical science by an
authoritative statement of their expert
ences in applying the drug in that re-
markable case, the details of which
were widely published and closely fol-
lowed by physicians.
