RAG BABY.
Mr.. Charles II. Hoyt's play of the "Rag Baby'' is
satire on the drug business and the sporting craze
that is to say if it can be claimed to have any
serious purpose. But 1t is evident that the chief
aim of the author was to concoct roaring farce
comedy which could keep the spectator in roar of
laughter for couple Of hours, and act as better
tonic and spring medicine than all the hyperphos-
phi5es and sarsapsrla in the apothecary shops. In
this lsudable effort Mr.. Hoyt may be said to have
succeeded judging by the uproarious merriment of
last nights audience. The piece is full of odd
songs, dances and bright dialogue, and Frank

An Iowa Mystery That Puzzles Old

Indian Agent Gasmann.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican; There
is an effort making for the removal of
Agent GaSmann, of the Crow Creek In
dian reservation in Dakota, which has
been so prominently before the public
attention during the past seven or eight
months. The attempt can only be made
by enemies of the Indian, out of spite
ut Mai. Gasmann's course in maintaining
the Indians rights, and it ought not to
hav the ghost of a nance of success.
A strong representation in his favor has
been sent to Secretary Lamar, bearing
the signatures of Bishop w. II. Hare,
Herbert Welsh and Robert Frazer, of the
Goodale and Florence Bascom, of Hamp-
ton institute. The character of the work
Agent Gasmann has carried on ut the
reservation is in their opinion "of very
high order, both in its relation to the
government and the Indians" and they
believe his continuance iSVery important
in every respect, for the advancement of
the Indians in civilization, for the pro-
lection of their interests, and for the
good of the service generally. His con
ductd during the recent difficulties was
marked by II courage, prudence and
ability which justly entitle him to tho
respect and gratitude of all good citi-
zens and the firmiupport of your honor
able Office" For these reasons the
memoriallsts ask that Agent Gasmann be
retained; and there is no doubt but that
he and every good agent should be, for "A
change of Indian agents mean IA good
deal more than a change of clerks in Il

Ing mp at the summit Of the wall l could

largest of mans works were compared
to this work of nature.
How those huge powders were piled
up in such regular order, and even how
they should come into u place naturally
so devoid of rocks, is the wonder Of
scientists. Of course the glacial theory,
evolved especially for ignorant scientists
in difficult places, is the one most com
monty advanced, But how those rocks
should cross a wide lake, and proceed to
place themselves in regular order, is not
explained; unless, indeed, some huge
glacier, becoming weary of continued
travel, had suddenly plowed q deep hole
iu the ground, fixed itself, and, melting
under the rays of a tropical sun, had
formed Wall Lake; and the rocks carried
along with it, not rclishing a wetting,
had piled themselves upon each other in
their anxiety to get out of the lake, and
thus formed the wonderful wall.
