At Grow Greek sgency the Sioux com.
mission feels that it is among its friends
and expresses great confidence in its
success among the Yanktonsis Sioux OF
that reservation. These Indians have
always been tractsble, their isolation
from the great hody of Sioux Indians
rendering them more susceptible to the
influences of the whites. They have
progressed in civilization to point
where they willingly acknowledge the
supremacy OF the white man.
A correspondent of the Omaha Bee
has been among the Sioux OF Rosebud
(old Spotted Tall agency and finds
there general opposition to the mission
of the commission. Their chief reason
is distrust of the whites and lack of
confidence in the promises Of treaties.
What they do not understand arouses
their suspicion and the average Indian
mind oan not grasp the 1ntricacies OF an
agreement framed by white men. II is
found that the employees and other
white men at Rosebud are endeavoring
to create opposition among the Indians
to the treaty and with good success.

Melvin drigsby, OF Sioux Falls, was
candidate for the congressional nomina-
tion before the Watertown convention
and under instructions his own county
voted for him from the first to the last
ballot. There was a time in the ex-
periences OF the convention when the
votes cast for Mr.. Grigsby, added to the
votes cast for MIR. Clifford would have
given the latter majority. But MIR,
Grigsby's delegates continued to vote
for Mr.. Grigsby, being thus instructed
and being unrelieved by the OBJ.

Judge Thurman is still campaigning
in behalf of his own candidacy and that
of his associate upon the democratic
ticket. Saturday he spoke at Chicago
place where the public would reason.
ably expect the best he had to offer In
the line of oratory and argument. But
it was treated to another senile eff fusion,
the more deplerable because 1t comes
from respected old age. The following
extract is sample of the entire address:
Some years ago this country was great.
~ agitated by party called the know
nothing party. It was party to whom
the lrishman was an abomination OF
abominations, and il he were Catholic
lrishman, was the accursed OF the earth;
but now, strange to say, these men who,
few years ago were know nothings and
the most abusive Of men on the irish
on the Germans and of ell foreign-born
people, but OF the Irish especially, are
seeking to court what is called the Irish
vote. to get the Irishmen to vote against
the men who stood firm by them in de-
Tense of their rights, in defense OF every.
thing that. was alleged against them.
Now they are seeking to get their votes
by misrepresenting Grover Cleveland
and asserting that hs is under British
influence. My friends, there never was
more false assertion made by mortal
man. You might as we'll undertake TO
tell me that Washington was under
British influence as that Grover Cleve-
land is.
The inference designed by this gen
tleman, who lives almost entirely in the
past, is that there is something in COM
mon between the know nothing party
and the republican party, though they
did not exist contemporaneously and
there has never been anytbing in sym
pathy between the two. Hardly any
one bat political reminlscence would
have thought of such an appeal to preju.
dice as this. Farther along in his dis.
course the old gentleman undertook to
discuss the surplus and In that connec-
tion said:
There are schemes on foot to make
appropriations to the amount Of $780, 000,-
600 or $4,000, 900 or $4,000, 900 for
which there is no necessity whatever,
and which is just throwing away that
much of the peoples money. If they
proceed in that way, il they take your
money to the amount of 100000 900
year, and then scatter it broadcast to
favorites for their benefit, they osn de-
plete the treasury. Then, if they raised
100000 900 of surplus in year they
could squsnder it all. But that is not
the kind OF government that our fore
fathers intended we should have.
II cannot be presumed that the vice
presidential candidate intended to apply
this warning Of conspiracy on the part
OF the republican party, as his own party
is the party in power at Washington.
Thus far the unparalleled reduction of
the treasury fund has come through
democratic appropriation bills and any
further attempted reduction must be
through the same channel. AS q cam
paIgner the Old Roman lie hardly filling
the expectations of those who sent him
forth.

chicago Herald.
Although DR.. S. Leavitt, professor OF
Hahnemann College, does not use tobacco
in any form, he is never without email
package Of fine Gus in his pocket. and the
reason of i. is this: a gentleman Of the
doctors acquaintance told him how he
hsd saved his child's life after all the
doctors hsd given her up. She had meIu
branous Group, spd while the mother
from sheer exhaustion hsd lain
down for few moments rest, the
father sat by the child. The hard, diff
cult breathing OF the little one, growing
fainter and fainter as the throat clogs ed
up, was torture TO the father. Every
thing in the 'wsy OF emetics had been
used, but without effect; but suddenly
sn idea struck the ne.rly distracted
father. He remembered how deathl7 sick
he WAS the first time ne chewed tobacco,
and having cud in his mouth, without
thinking twice ne opened the child's
mouth and pl2ced the tobacco in.
@The father knew II was desperate act,
and he waited in terrible suspense for the
result. 1. came, and gu cker thsn he
could have hoped. There was sudden
convulsive movement and the poor little
hing was neatly doubled FOR an instant,
and seemed 70 wrilhe in sgony Whep,
throwing herself forward, there shot
from her throat chunk CT alnos. solid
phlegm 1t least two inches long
and having through it 6 passage no larger
than small lead pencil. After q few
minutes o. le.chiog the little one lay
quietly back apd slept calmly and sweet.

How He Gets a Wife.

Our blacks" says Mrs. j. r. Reid, a
native of New South Wales, "arc differ.
ent in type from the African. Their hair
stands up, wiry and bushy, like that OF
the Circassian women in your dime mu
seums. In the bush they wear no clothes
but when they come in town the authori-
ties compel them to be clad. Tho wo-
men object most strenuously to clothing.
III you give a woman a gown she will
seldom put but n arm in a sleeve, let
ting the garment hang from her shout
ders and displaying n side Of her
bosom. The blacks find an abundance
Of food, and there is thus no incentive
for them to accept civilization
and learn to work. The country
swarms with kangaroos. walvarbies IAN
animal similar 10 the kangaroo), rabbits,
and birds. Then the blacks make q large
part of their diet of snakes and worms.
Worms they eat raw Just as they dig
them from the earth. They eat snakes
of all kinds.
"The blacks are not prolific, a couple
seldom having three children. The
women, of course. are brutally abused
by the males anu kept in the most
degraded state of servitude. When a
black wants a wife he calls upon some
yonng woman, chokes her so she can.
not cry out, and runs with her into the
bush. There he must stay with her for
three or four months. He cannot
return to his cwn tribe until the expira-
ton Of this period. When he does
take her back, ifshe uttersno complaint of
hunger against him-that is, if she does
not show that he has utterly failed to
supply her with sufficient worms, kanga~
roo meat and snakes-he can keep her,
but for a year he must stay out of the
way CT her tribe, for if they catch him
they will kill him ard take the young
woman back. The sign of the married
state adopted by the women is the pull
ing out of the front tooth. When the
man becomes a Benedict he indicates the
joyful fact by cutting off the little finger
Of his right hand at the first joint. They
live in low, skin covered huts, and, I
think, are in every respect beneath the
North American Indian in intelligence.

heath of a Noted Dwarf

CLEVELAND, Dec. 10.~-On Thursday
General Tom Pounce," a dwarf known
in connection with Tom Thumb all over
the world, died in poverty on Green street
in this city. He was brought here from
SAKE Weimar by his parents in 1912. when
scarcely a year old, and from the first was
exhibited as an infantile curiosity. He
had earned more than 800, 900 in his
life, but spent it freely, and ceasing
70 be ar attraction after the loss of his
health, came here four years ago to live
with his brother. Two years ago the
brother died and the dwarf invested all
he possessed in q little cigar store. He
had no business capacity, however, and
was nearly starving when, three years
ago, John Widmann took him in and
cared for him until he died. All the
goods poor Pounce possessed was a small
diamond ring and a gold watch. He had
saved them in order to have enough to
pay for a decent burial. He was inferred
in a child's coffin, clothed in the dress
suit in which he used to appear on the
stage. His name was Ernest Geyer.

In Danger From Cancer.

oswEao. n. T., Dec. 1o.-Representa-
tive N. w. Nutting, of this city, is in
Washington suffering with a canccrous
affection Of the throat and mouth, and
the gravest fears are entertained for his
ultimate recovery. Two years ago Mr..
Nutting's attention was arrested by q
calloas spot on the tongue, which his
physicians advised him was CAUSED by
excessive smoking, and advised him to
give up the habit, which he did. Despite
the treatment of some of the most emf.
ncnt physicians in Washington and Phil
adelpIiia, the disease gradually spread
and took a downward course. A few
days ago an operation was decided upon
and the teeth Iad a portion of the lower
jaw on the left side were removed. A
letter to a relative in this city states that
Nr. Nutting's condition is very critical,
and fears are entertained by his friends
that he will not be able to take his seat
in the neXt congress.

in regard to his reported lucky draw in

he held one-twentieth of ticket No.47,7 55

$780,, 900 in the company's drawing on the
9th Of October last and that he has re-
ceived his money-S15, 000-on the same
Mr.. Claver's ticket cost him 81 and was
the first and only money he had evcr in.
vested in that way.
BY an agreement with Mr.. VIM. Eos
ter of this place, who also held a ticket
in the institution, that if either of their
tickets drew q prize they would divide
equally, Mr.. Foster receives one-half the
amount.
Mr.. Claver and Mr.. Foster are both
well respected citizens Of this vicinity,
and whatever may be said pro or con OF
the lottery itself, this amount of money
will elevate them from moderate to well
to do circumstances, and it is to be hoped
that it will be invested in a way that will
give it circulation in this city and commu.
