SIOUX RESERVATION MEASURE.
senator Dawes Doing All IN HIS
Power to Make Friends for the Meas.
ure.

Washington special Senator Dawes is
I,owadays spending much OF his time atthe
house end OF the capital endeavoring to
roin strength for the Big Sioux reservation
Hill. The aggravating delay caused by the
cbeap debate on the oleomargarine bill and
The concentrating pressure nowadays Of
The various appropriation bills, has re-
duced the chances OF getting at the Sioux
hill 70 the minimum. At no time in the
oossion has there been so small prospect
for the success OF the measure as now. It
seems to be pretty well decided that con-
Dress will adjourn by the middle of July,
and with the amount Of work on the cal
ondar at present it is not likely that more
than q dozen general bills, outside If the
appropriation bills, can be brought un for
caPnsideration. Both the senate and
the house are putting through as
ranidlv as possible an immense num-
bnr Of small bills for pension
claims and similar objects that
have been thoroughly discussed by the
various committees and require no con-
sideration in general debate. The repre-
epntatiyss OF the Milwaukee and st. Paul
and ChJhgo and Northwestern railroads,
who ar Interested in securing proper ter
minali ,ities on the west side OF the Mis-
souri, :, are still here and will remain
untilt end of the session to be ready in
case i'll should be brought up. Mr..
Dawes SAL to. day: II have not given up
hone that the bill will be taken up and am
doing all that is in my power to secure for
it sufficient number OF members to give it
at least one days debate. If we can get
that much we can pass the bill. The great
difficulty that lies in our way is the fact
that it is loaded down with large
number Of amendments to which
there is more or less objection. But
for the amendments the safety OF the
bill would be beyond all question at this
time, and | told my friends SO at the senate
end two months ago. | told them then
that they were burying the bill. | think
that my prediction is coming true unless
by some extraordinary effort we can carry
the whole thing through. 1t is lamentable
that a measure of such great importance
as this should be in the condition in which
it is to-day" All has been done for the
bill that could be done by those having it
in charge. The Indian committee has given
it its best consideration. Mr.. Nelson, of
and Judge Clifford, of Dakota.-
have been untiring in their efforts for the
bill, as well as many others who are
friendly to it. The Nebraska delegation,
who represent a constituency largely inter
ested in the passage OF the bill, have la
bored diligently in its interest.

Portland (Oregon) dispatch: Returns to-
night indicate the election of the democratic
candidates for governor, state treasurer,
and judge of the supreme court, and prob
ably secretary of state. AT the demo-
cratic central committee headquarters to-
night the state is claimed by small ma
iority. Pennoyer, for governor, runs ahead
of his ticket about 1.500. He owes his
election to the Knights of Labor and anti
coolie societies, which were very active in
his support.
The case of Thankful Tanner, at Ceve-
land, Ohio, against Mrs. James A. Garfield,
to recover $4,000 for slight injuries sus-
tanned in a collision with Mrs. Garfield
carriage, was submitted to the jury on the
Sth. The jurors after three hours deliber-
alton returned a verdict in favor of Mrs.
Garfield.
The village OF Rawley Springs, Va, was
almost completely destroyed by fire on the
Sth. All places of resort with the excep-
tion of the Baltimore house were burned.
The loss is estimated at $130, 900, with an
insurance of $13, 900.
General Master Workman Powderly de-
MES that he has been captured by the COM
munistic element, and further, that there is
no truth in the rumor that his views in re-
gard to strikes, etc, were overruled at the
Cleveland convention
Thomas Quealy, who was killed in coal
mine at Como. Col, was from one OF the
most respected families of Wyoming. He
came to the territory in 1859 and was for
several years in responsible position in
the Union Pacific coal mines OF Wyoming.

a Third Assistant sAcretarv.

Washington special: 1t looks as though
there would be fight over the proposition
to provide a third assistant secretary of
the treasury for the period Of one year, as
suggested in the senate The other day by
Mr.. Morrill,. Thequestion at once resolves
into politics. Nosecret is made OF the fact
that an extra officer is wanted to get up
the work in the department which has
fallen behind on account OF the illness OF
Secretary Manning. There are republicans
and some democrats, too-who contend
that Mr.. Manning should have retired as
soon as it became apparent that he was
unable to perform the duties, and that his
retention is only for political advantage,
which should not be accorded to anybody
or any party. These men are reminded,
however, that Secretary Folger was i'll for
weeks and really incapacitated for many
months, Yet Mr.. Folger did not look for
assistance. He simply drew his salary.

Ten rhousand from Mr.. Childs.

In the proceedings OF the International
Typographical union session held in Pitts
burg occurs the following "A letter from
Geo. w. Childs, OF Philadelphia, enclosing
a check for 500 as an unconditional
gift. was handed to the secretary by the
Philadelphia delegate. The gift is made
jointly by MFR. Childs and Anthony ].
Drexel, So, 900 each. Mr.. Childs' letter ex-
presses deep interest in the promotion OF
all trades unions, but particularly the
printers union, on account of the very in
innate and satisfactory Business relations
which he and Mr.. Drexel haG enjoyed with
them for years. Mr.. Daily. the Philadel-
phia delegate, said that as Mr.. Childs had
been nominated for president OF the United
States by number of newspapers, he was
authorized to say. that Mr.. ChiIds IS not a
candidate and that political aspirations
had nothing to do with the gift, which had
been conceived ten months ago. The con-
vention took recess until 7:30 p. ms

made by the president reserving Monday in

lie business as absolutely requires freedom
from interruption, he finds that, through
ignorance OF the rules adopted or from
other causes, the time he thus seeks to
reserve is to great extent engrossed by
those whose calls are of a personal and
social nature or by presentation OF bust
ness which might easily be postponed to
another day. At half past one every Mon.
day and at the same hour on Wednesdays
and Fridays of each week, the president
will meet all who desire to pay their re-
spects. He earnestly requests that with
the exception OF the above specified, the re-
mainder of Monday and the afternoons Of
the other days in the week, may be allowed
him by the public, not for his pleasure but
for the performance of his official duty and
the transaction of public business

Probably a Canard.

The st. Louis Dispatch published
sensational cable dispatch on the 9th
claiming that Parnell, the great Irish leader,
has been involved in a social scandal, and
it is owing to this fact that O'Shea, one OF
the nationalists, failed to vote for the home
rule measure in the commons.

depression in the ocean bottom. An Eng

marks that great inequalities are found in

ENDURANCE OF CLIMATIC VARIATIONS
A scientific Frenchman, Marquis de Nadail-
lac, estimates that Europeans can endure
temperatures as widely apart as 235 degrees
at least. Thus, on Jan. 25, 1882, two YES
sells in the Kara Sea were exposed to cold
of S5 degrees below zero, while in the coun-
try of the Touaregs, in Central Africa,
Duveyrier has known the thermometer to
rise as high as 152 degrees.
Military reports lately published show a
startling prevalence of blindness in Russia.
In that country one recruit in every 1875 is
totally blind; while in England there are
1915 persons to every one who is totally
blind; and more than 1400 to each sightless
person in Saxony and Denmark.
Very singular eyes have been found in a
new crustacean-Boreomysis scyphops-
taken by the Norwegian North Atlantic
dredging expedition. These organs have
concave outer surfaces, they are attached
close together, and they have no specific
coloring matter.
A French psychologist has ascertained
that highly poisonous principles-known al
cryptomaines-may be developed in edible
mushrooms under certain conditions.

A FARMERS FIND. - A special from
Batesburg, s. c., to the Atlanta G onstatl-
ton says
The finding of fortune by an industri-
GUS and hard-working gentleman of this
section, has created sensation and deal
of talk. While Mr.. Joe Coughman was
blowing il, his field, across the Saluda river
in Newberry county, the plow-share turned
up quaint looking old earthen pot. Con-
tinuing his row, Mr.. Coughman paid no at
tention to the pot, but on the return trip he
stopped to examine it, and found that it
contained gold coin of some kind. Gather
ing his new found treasure, he wendell his
way to Batesburg bank, and after the
money man had carefully examined the
'.find," it was pronounced $4,000.
News of the streak of luck soon spread
over the county, and in half dozen hours
half the county we're blowing the field in
search of other hidden treasure. The coin
is old and quaint, and bears evidence of
having come from different nationalities.
How it found its way into the field, or when
it was deposited, is not conjectured. Mr..
Coughman' S friends rejoice at his good for
tune.

THAT WIFE OF MINE.
from the somerville Journal.

from the somerville Journal
She met me at the door last night,
All dainty, fresh, and smiling,
And threw her plump arms around me ugn
In manner most beguiling.
Then. in her sweet, impulsive way,
She Rugged me, as she kissed me,
And told me how the live-long day
She'd thought of me, and missed me.
She helped me off with coat and hat,
And ed me, still close-clinging.
Into the dining-room. and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect; fresh-cut f1ow'rs,
The freight warm and rosy,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the hours,
And we were, oh SO cosey!
Then, after dinner, she and
Sang the old songs together
We used to sing in days gone by
My heart was like a feather!
Our happiness made earth Heaven.
And now as review IT..
Irecollect it was past eleven
Almost before we knew it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me.
Softly she smoothed my hair, and when
kissed her did not chide me-
She fondly pinched my cheek, and SO,
Her dimpled hand upon it.
She whispered: Darling, do you know
need new spring bonnet?"

THE CHANGE OF THE SEASONS

When the hen begins to cackle
And the rooster gins to crow,
When the duck begins to quackle
And the sun to melt the snow.
Then we know that Springs a creeptn'
In upon us full of cheers,
And the snow begins weepin'
Ofitself away in tears.
When we hear the martins singin'
And flynn round the shed,
When we see tbs peewees wingin'
And the geese begin to wed,
Then we git the boss and wagon
And aronnd the barn we scratch,
And manure commence draggin'
Out upon the tater-patch.
When the buttercups are bloomin'
And the frog is heard to creak,
When the thunder is a boomin'
And the lightnin' hugs the oak,
Then we know that Summers tryin'
FOR to hustle Spring away,
And the mud begins dryin
And the dust begins to play.
When we see the snake crawlin'
And the crow begins to cav,
And the cat-bird is a squallin'
And the magpie gins to jaw,
Then we get the scythe and sickle
And begin to whet and grind.
And the grass commence to tickle
And the wheat to cut and bind.
When the frost begins nippin'
OF the sweet pertater vine,
When the rambo and the pippin
Through the leaves begin to shine,
Then we know that Autumn's prowlin'
Round the tail Of Summers blouse,
And the wind begins howlin'
Round the gables CT the house.
When the hickory nuts are droppin'
And the pawpaw's gettin' soft,
When the buzzard's wings are t1oppin'
For the South TO sail aloft.
Then we gather in the pumpkin
And the fodder gin to shock.
And the corn begin a huskin'
In the crib to feed the stock.
When we hear the pigs squealin'
And the snow-birds gin to play,
When we see the rabbit stealin'
Ia beneath the stack ofhay,
Then we know that Winters squeezin'
In old Autumn's shoes to take,
And the ice begins freezin'
And thesnow begins to flake.
When we hear the trees sighin'
And their arms are lookin bare,
When we feel the cold flynn
On the sharp and frosty air,
Then the wood we gin a chopin
And around the fire we meet.
Then the corn begin a poppin'
And the nuts and apples eat.

Globe an anti-prohibition paper says:
"There is no question but that the clos

consumption Of liquor among that class Of
drinkers who drank because liquor was con-
venient. There are many men who were
accustomed to drink more or less every day
when saloons were convenient, who have
not taken drink since the saloons were
closed, simply because they have not de-
sired liquor bad enough to join the drinking
clubs or sign app ications.

To BUSINESS MEN.-s'It can be easily
shown that the man who trades least, is the
man who drinks most, and merchants and
manufacturers as they recognize this, are
coming to view the liquor shop as not only
the enemy OF their homes, but the theft OF
their legitimate earnings. Let this practl.
