Interesting Relics Of lincoln.

The talk about the removal Of Libby Prison
to Chicago starts afresh "reminiscences Of the
war. There is living in Chicago to-day lady
to whose house Lincoln was taken from Ford's
Theatre on the night that the Presidents life
was taken BY j. Wilkes Booth. The lady was
at that time child. Her people were South
erners, and hated everything that was
Yankee. However, they we're Of the better
class Of Southerners, who never permitted any
one beneath their own roof to be treated
otherwise than as guests. When MIR. Lincoln's
body was carried into the house the family
Welded everything 10 the comfort OF the
patient, aud were deeply grieyed at the mis-
fortune, as they subsequently showed. The
lady in question has the pillow upon which
The martl red President hreathed his last The
piece OF candle which was held for the
surgeon as he WAS dressing the wound is pre-
served and in her possession. The coyerlet
which was thrown across the sufferer, and
many OF the little things that were about the
room, and some of which were used on the
fatal night were all preserved, and are in the
keeping and the ownership Of Mrs. Charles

says fE a Circular.
Pittston Pa.) special: General Mas
ter Workman Powderly issued a lengthy
circular, addressed 20 all assemblies
knights of Labor, referring 10 the ex.
perience gained from the recent strikes
He says: "What combination Of hun
cry men could fight battle against
combination Of dollars? When work
man ceases to earn his stomach feels it,
and unless charity is given he starves.
Lay gold dollar away on shelf, let it
lay year or a decade, and at the end
u is as bright and useful as ever. IL
mas lost nothing from idleness the dol
lar is supreme. We must control the
dollar, curb the power of money and
Kill the trusts, or they will extort the
last cent from labor and kill the people
We must have legislation which will
compel individuals and corporations TO
transact business on a basis of real
property, dollars and cents, instead of
what the world calls paper credits or
fictitious values. How can this be
donep BY whom will il be done?
ut has been demonstrated that the
order will not support strikes. Will il
now make an effort to place the issues
on which we base our claim to recogni
ton equally before the people? Will
policy OF educational work be sustained?
Through some singular. oversight the
general assembly never established al
educational fund. Will orr members
consent to establishing such fund by
contributing 10, Is or 20 cents a piece?
If SO, a number of good, competent
speakers can be sent at once through
the order to educate and instruct them
IN the principles on which this order is
based. Put the following questions be
fore each assembly and give me your
answer-yes or no-as quickly as it can
be done:
First-Does your assembly believe in
entering at once upon an active educa
tional campaign?
Second--Do yon believe we should
send out good, competent brothers 10
teach the principles of the order?
Third-Shall the general master work
men pay an assessment of Is cents per
capita to defray the expense of lee
turer?
Fourth-Will the general master
workmen be sustained in enforcing dis
cipline in all departments of the order?
If the vote on these propositions is in
the affirmative, the grand master work
man pledges himself to do work for
the order such as has never been done

washington special: The house has
not YET had an opportunity TO consider
the amendments incorporated in the
senate 10 the Sioux reservation bill bnt
the subject matter viii come up for AZ.
tlon IN the course Of q few days and il is
probable that conference committee
Will be appointed to settle the differ
ences between the two houses. There
Is no question as TO the result. The
Dill will go through without a doubt
Senator Henderson was asked to-day
what he thought Of tine effect Of the bill
TO Nebraska. The senator REPLIED:
A ~ wlll prove very, very valuable for
the interests OF our state. 1t opens that
Wlilch is an extremely valuable country
on our northern border TO sediment
Nebraska will be more benefited than
any other state, although the greatest
material benefit will accrue TO the terri
tory-lt IS TO be hoped soon the state. of
south Dakota. This bill besides helps
70 settle the Indian question. A large
number OF Sioux, supposed to be about
SSO,uOO men women and children, will no
longer be permitted TO occupy $4,000
square miles Of territory, TO the exclu-
sion OF all white settlers The result OF
this bill must be that the Indians who
occupy this country will eventually take
their lands IN seyeralty and start upon
their journey TO citizenship. The bill
opens new field for railroad enter
prise, and the great lines of the north
west will not be slow TO take adyan-
tage OF the opportunity. The Black
Hills and rich agricultural and grazing
lands Of western Dakota and Wyoming
Will receive new avenues for profitable
trade. Nebraska is particularly inter
ested in that portion of the bill which
brings within our jurisdiction the part
Of the state which lies north of the Mo
brara and Keyrupakee rivers. This
large body Of land was many years ago
added TO the state OF Nebraska by act of
congress, but state jurisdiction over it
was not TO be extended until after the
extinguishment of the Indian title
This will soon be done, and the pregi-
dent will then proclaim the land to be a
part of the state. The bill depends,
however, for its practical operation as a
law, upon consent to be obtained from
the Indians. This is a matter that will
take a little time and careful considera-
ton, but have no doubt that it will
succeed. Recognizing the great inn
portance of this bill 10 Nebraska, have
given it n good deal of thought and care
for several years past, and am very
highly gratified TO see it brought TO q
successful termination at last. /"
Then you do not think, senator, that
there is any danger of a presidential
veto?"
Not in the least. feel confiden.
that the president will sign the bill a.
soon as he can possibly examine it aftez
il shall have been sent TO him"
