made up his mind that it is useless for
him to cope with the whites, and he is
behaving himself. To be sure, he is
pretty closely confined in the guard
house and constantly watched to pre-
vent him from doing personal injury,
but every day he is sent out for eX-
ercise in charge of a sentry. IL he
wants to work about the fort he is at
liberty to do so, or he can indulge IN
pedestrianism, to his hearts desire
The subject of this converse
ton, wrapped in coarse
blanket which covered a faded blue
flannel shirt. dark breeches and moe
caSins, attentively regarded a trio of
visitors to his cell and "hOwed' with
vigor as they pressed forward to shake
HANDS with him. Heavy copper Orna-
ments were suspended from the lObeS
of his ears, and he eagerly inquired
of the armed sentry, who accompanied
the party, whittier he was going. a
short talk ensued, during which the old
comrade and adviser of SwOrdbearer
draped his blanket gracefully about him
after the fashion of a Roman senator
with his toga. Standing erect and with
his stTongly-marked face and hercu-
lean frame, the Crow warrior, despite
the ravages of age, seemed equal 10 the
fatigues of many warlike excursions
against his enemies, the white invaders
OF his fOrefathers' domains.

The economic questions of the day
are receiving serious consideration in
all quarters and by all people. This was
shown few days ago by little incl
dent which occurred at the city hall.
Ever since the campaign opened In
spector Nugent and Capt. Cook have
been devOting a coed deal of thought
to the question of the tariff and the side
issue of the surplus. Nugent was a lit
tie dry on the day in question, but did
not have the wherewithal to do the
handsome thing in the way of extending
an invitation to friend tOj join him in
small bottle. His friend. Cook, was
standing by. and, turning TO him, he
said: Captain. lend me a quarter"
''Lend you quarter?" said the captain,
with evident surprise. How the devil
do yOu expect me to have money with
S1S0,000,000 of surplus stored in the
treasury" Five minutes later the Ii
cense inspector was seen at the water
cooler.
The room in which Deaf Bull is con-
1led at Fort Smelling is the first apart
ment in the guard house after crossing
the bridge, and through the barred
windows a good view of him can be OBJ
tanned as he PAGES uneasily to and fro.
Deal benches, a heavy wooden table
and few chairs of the same material
constitute the furniture of the room,
and cot in one corner is
the resting place of one who
proved himself one of the most
untiring and relentless savageS of the
Crow tribe. What will be done with
Deaf Bull is still matter of conjecture,
but among army officers it is believed
that he will continue to be confined at
Fort Smelling for an indefinite period.
1T would be no use to send him back to
the reservation" said Gen. Ruger in
discussing the matter. ''for he would
merely fOment diScord and endeavor to
incite his associates to renewed acts of
violence against the military or set
tiers" From another official it was as
certained that there was a possibility of
the chief being sent to Florida for i'm
prisonment i'll Fort Marion, but the war
would defer such action
until the abatement of the yellow fever
now raging in the land of the ever
gladeS.

eff there is another man in st. Paul
who is bored and bothered as much as
the gentleman had the good fortune to
call upon yesterday afternoon, | SYM
pathize with him. l actually listened
to the begging Of six persons while in
his Office only an hour" was the con-
verSatiOn overheard at the Ryan last
night. Continuing, the speaker said:
''FirSt came an Indian who had a sick
squaw, then a representative of a
church who wanted a donation of a
cool 500 for a church four miles in the
country, and so on. He told me that it
was a daily occurrence to find these
people waiting for him to ask a favor.
This man is so we'll known, and
has done so much for Minnesota and
its people that whenever those who
knew him years ago become embarrassed
in any way they go directly to him. All
the Indians in this part of the country
know him, and would do anything for
him: but they are not backward about
continually asking pecuniary favOrs.
''DO YOU know who he is? His office
is on the ground for of the GLOBE
building" You mean Gen. Slbley?''

Italians have church Of their own,
and since last winter they have had
services every Sunday, the sermon
being delivered in their mother tongue.
Even during the hot season there was
