The POncas will harvest a good
crop of corn, but the Pawnees will

James Baxter charged with the
murder of one Miller and the
burning of the Gulf house, at Col

was recently found guilty Of murder
in the second degree and sentenced
to twenty years. Many think him
innocent.
Traveler:-The proposed occu-
patton of the territory by an over
whelming force of boomers, adver-
tised TO come off from Rock Falls,
proved a fizzle. About fifty ad-
venturers gathered, but the militia
ry put in an appearance, and the
former concluded that the Indian
country was a place to stay away
from.
Parsons Sun:-An order was
issued prohibiting conductors OF
freight trains on the Missouri
Pacific from allowing passengers
to ride on freight trains unless they
have a ticket, and under no cir
cumstance TO collect cash fare.
The order also prohibits them
from allowing parties with passes
to ride on the freights unless they
have a special order. No freight
except numbers 100 and 161, are
allowed to carry passengers under
any circumstances.

THE news of the nominations o
candidates for principal and assist
ant chieves could not be received in
time TO appear in the CHIEFTAIN OF
last week. The country already
knows by this time who are nom-
mated and are beginning TO calcu-
late the chances for this or that
candidate TO be elected. The
character and qualifications of each
are subjects of comment and dis
cussion, and according Ia eonelu-
sions arrived at, as 10 fitness and
qualifications, the people are fall
ing into ranks by giving express
sion to their preferences. Party
lines will be crossed either way by
many, as no former election has
been conducted upon principles
that will in all probability, dis
tingnish the two parties in the
opening campaign. In the interest
Of political power and out of race
jealousies, conditions have been
growing since 'S3 that wilr create

THAT the Downing party has
made a satisfactory selection fol
chief in the person Of Judge Mayes
it is reasonable to suppose, and
that the National has done the
same thing in the choice of Mr.
Bunch is equally so. The two
candidates are well known to the
people, both having served in pub
lie capacities for a number of years,
Mayes. as circuit and supreme
judge. and Bunch as assistant
ohiet. The qualifications of each
therefore, can be correctly meas
ured, and the kind of chief
each one would make be
very nearly determined. Judge
Clark and Capt. Samuel Smith are
as well known as their principals,
both having been in public life for
several official terms, Mr.. Clark as
a circuit judge and Mr.. Smith as a
senator and delegate TO Washing
ton. 1t is not in the province of
the CHIEFTAIN to express a pref
erence for either of the candidates.
or to say which will make the most
successful and popular chief. The

lege 10 eritieise and condemn the
official acts of those intrusted with
the execution of public matters.
This right it expects to exercise in
the future as IT has in the past.

Report Of the Situation ScnbS Still

The situation in the Wircdrawcrs
strike presents some interesting
features. It will be remembered
that the circular issued to the
strikers by tn" company, on August
2Sth. 1898, contained clause that
they had only been receiving s.. 30
for fence wire. and the firm were

- cents per 100 lbs. for drawing.
1t was fully understood at the time,
though not expressed in the circu-
lar, that Il better selling price would
enable them to still pay it and com
pete in the market. Meantime. the
WlredadWerS conceded to the firm a
reduction in the price Of drawing to
fourteen cents, This was repudi-
atcd by f, 5. Wheeler 4 Co., they
claiming that a ten per cent. rcduc-
ton was Insufficient, which album
dantIV justified the belief among the
strikers that the firm wanted their
coats, hats, pants and shirts. and
were satisfied TO have the men re-
tam their vests and shoes. Other

At first we viewed with alarm the

We thought it proper to say this
much and thus prevent amy views Of

follows:
I'VE think the general tendency of

\ COMPROMISE.
Later developments m the ease Of
the locomotive engineers of the New
York Elevated Railways show that
the spirit Of compromise rules in the
engineers association The monopo-
lists were perfectly willing to lock
out the men, careless of the public
convenience, and still more so Of the
welfare of their employees; and were
only prevented from carving out
their nefarious scheme bv the fact
that they ran the risk of losing their
charter. And it is with such villains
that the Brotherhood Of Locomotive

instead Of eight, as demanded, and

According to these terms, if cor
rectIy reported, the company can
gradually discharge old engineers,
and promote tiremen in their places,
thus saving 80 cents per day for each
such change, So that on the whole
the only gain was one hour per day,
and that may not be such Il burden to

The following story from The Penn
alonthly, is related to Agassiz, and it is suf-
ticiently characteristic Of this remarkably
accurate observer TO have the merit of prob
ability. We are told that once upon time
the professor had occasion to select an as
sistant from one of his classes There were
number of candidates for the post of
honor, and finding himself in quandary
as to which one he should choose, the happy
thought occurred to him of subjecting three
OF the more promising students in turn to
the simple test of describing the view from
his laboratory window, which overlooked
the side yard of the cottage One said that
he saw merely board fence and a brick
pavement; another added stream of soapy
water: a third detected the color of the
paint on the fence, noted green mould or
fungus on the bricks, and evidences of
'bluing" in the water, besides other details
1t is needless to tell to which candidate was
awarded the coveted position
Houdin, the celebrated prestidigitator, at,
tributed his success in his profession mainly
to his quickness Of perception, which, he
tells US in his entertaining autobiography,
he acquired by educating his eye to detect q
large number of objects at a single glance
His simple plan was to select shop window
full of a miscellaneous assortment of articles,
and walk rapidly past it a number of times
every day, writing down each object which
impressed itself on his mind. In this way
he was able, after time, to detect instant
aneously all of the articles in the window,
eyen though they might be numbered by
scores Scientific American.
