Washington, Aug. 23-The instruc.
tions given the Indian commission
recently appointed in compliance with
the provisions of the Indian sppropria-
ton bill, are of great interest to the
northwest in both q philanthroplc and
commercial aspect. The general policy
outlined is the reduction OF reservations,
the consolidation of bands and tribes,
and the augmentation of the public
domain. There are problems to follow
in the train of this policy il carried out,
which will deeply concern Indian
helpers and workers. To reduce the
hunting grounds of the Indian, and give
his land to the white mans plow, and
his forests to the white mans ak, mean
for him the alternative of owning his
land IN severalty on which to earn his
living and become an Intelligent citizen,

speaking of these instructions, empha-
sizes distinctly the statement that the

never expected to come out alive.
When entering the whirlpool he was SO
benumbed and partially uncon-
scious that he could not use
his limbs, and did not know
what he was doing. The current took
him right into the main eddy and sucked
him down like flash, keeoing him
under fully fifteen seconds. Upon
reaching the under current he was shot
out OF the pool fully fifty feet from its
center. When he reached the surface of
the wafer he nad partially feRhlneu con-

time to spare before he would be dashed
down the lower rapids, he swan to the

the fatal ending.
Born and reared on the farm where she
died, she was was well know by the entire
community, and being of a sprightly, and AMI
mated spirit, and singularly unselfisf
disposition, was universally loved. AT the age
of sixteen she was happily converted to Goo

and remained ausefu; testimony to the pow
err of Christ to save, and to the glad comforts
of our holy religion while living and while

As sets the morning star
Which goes not down
Behind the darkened west,
Nor hides obscure,
Amid the tempest of the sky,
