BIsNABK, July 2i.--A report that 1900 Sioux In
dans at Pine Ridge agency are about to leave the
agency aroused some excitement throughout this
section although il is not believed the Indians will
carry out their threat. The cause of the trouble is
the announcement that the Indians are to be dis
armed and ratiOns reduced. Up to this time they
have been receiving ratiOns for 1900 but the recent
census disclosed the fact that there are only $3.50
at the agency Hearing that their rations were to
be reduced and arms taken from them, the Indians
prepared to leave the agency and rustic for them
selves The news was communicated to Standing

are located, and the people have fears that these

NEW YORK, Dec. lit was reported last
night upon what seemed unquestionable
authority, but too late for absolute verif-
cation, that Mrs. Amos Lawrence Hopkins
had been granted an absolute divorce from
her husband. 1t is said that by the decis-
ion the lady is free to marry again, but
that the husband can not. This being
true, the divorce must have been given
Mrs. Hopkins on her plea of her husbands
infidelity.
In her suit she made former maid
servant in her employ correspondent with
her husband. Mrs. Hopkins Is at present
stopping at the Everett House. She could
not be seen last night, 1t is said that she
will shortly leave for the South, where
she will spend the winter with her father.

THE present hydrophobia scare revives the
old discussion as to whether hydrophobia is
not purely disease of the imagination. If
it is disease, it is the most singular of all
diseases, for it leaves no trace of the method
by which il kills the victim. He dies I'M
questionably, but the Surgeons knife is
utterly unable to show why he died. Against
the theory of imagination is set the fact that
many children die of hydrophobia at an age
so early that it is impossible that they
should know of Or fear any fatal results from
the bite of dog. The present scare is
likely to do much good in Kidding the
country Of thousands of worthless ours
whose keep is an item of expense, whose
depredations are thousandfoJd greater
loss than the benefits derived from the pos
session of any number of good dogs. If the
people of the South could be scared into
killing some millions of the dogs they main
tain, there would be a chance to make sheep
growing profitable down there, and the whole
country would be much richer.
