THE COMMISSIONERS.
1t is now almost eight years since the
EdmundS commission visited Cheyenne
agency. FeastS were given to the III
dams, and two weeks they lived on
the fat of the land. Your correspond
ent does not exactly remember how
many beeves were slaughtered, but the
Northwestern Railroad company had
the pleasure of footing bill for these
feasts amounting to over $1,000. After
the Sioux had played the commission to
the limit the head chief walked up and
signed, and the people shouted with
glee. The rejoicing, however, was
little bitprevious. as the Indian depart
ment discovered, after all the work had
been accomplished, that it required the
signatures of one-third of the adults of
the Sioux nation to ratify a treaty,
and not only the recognized chiefs.
Thus it was that the work of the Ed
mundS commission was
LOVES LABOR LOST,
and as a result of their error the great
Sioux reservation is still vast prairie,
inheDiled by a few coyotes, jack-rab-
bits and Struggling bands of Indians.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, was
once sent to Cheyenne agency to treat
with the reds. and this commission had
narrow escape from being massacred
by the Indians. The commission was
in one of the large government build
ings, surrounded by the reds. Bishop
Whipple, with an escort of soldiers, was
addressing the council. A trusted in
terpreter named Bill Fielder had
learned that the
INDIANS MEANT TREACHERY.
He at once put the soldiers on their
guard and instructed them to charge
bayOnets Immediately on the Indians
should he give them a signal. Fielder
knew the tactics of the Indians well,
and to protect Bishop Whipple and the
commission accepted seat by his side.
Closely he watched every movement of
the Indians, and when the bishop was
in the midst of his argument and utter
9ly Oblivious of his danger, Fielden
lis CAUGHT THE SIGNAL
-.of the Indian who was to start the on
slaught. Quick as flash he rose in his
seat, drew his revolyers from his belt,
and every soldier charged OH the enemy.
/ 1T was a complete surprise to the cOun-
ell, and when the bishop and his asso-
ciates were made aware of their danger
they were only too thankful to Bill for
his valued friendship. Fielder is still
resident Of the Cheyenne agency, and is
educating family of boys and girls that
ARE credit. What the Indian thinks of
the Dawes bill will be given in another
issue.

FORT BENNETT, Sept. 14.-Your cor
respondent has been doing Cheyenne
agency and leaves it to-day with note
book full of interesting details and
"reminiscences of frontier life. Chey-
enne agency is one of the most famous
Indian reserves in Dakota. 1t is also
one of the best managed, and the Sioux
on this reserve have made most excel
lent progress in farming and civiliza-
ton. This in large measure is due to
Agent McChesney and the able corps of
teachers, who are under the supervision
of MIR. Wroten and his daughter, Miss
Minnie. The scholars in this school
are proficient in their studies, and it
was really surprising to listen to the
proper and correct answers to difficult
problems in mathematics, questions in
history, etc, that these youngsters re-
SpOnded to readily.
CHASKA AND BRIDE.
Cheyenne agency is the home of Mrs.
Chaska, nee Corabelle Fellows, who
threw her blue-bloOded Washington rel
ativeS into commissions by marrying the
Sioux Indian. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaska
have returned home from their starring
engagement as freaks. and now have an
excellent bank account, on which she
draws checks like bloated bondholder.
Her husband, since dong Washington,
comes back
A PERFECT DUDE.
He has dOnned black suit, and looks
quite gallant. The two are very loving,
and an elegant buggy purchased in the
East and drawn by two spanking horses
attracts great attention as they dash up
and down the agency thOrOughfareS.
Mrs. Chaska met
ONE OF HER OLD LOVERS
few days ago, and the two went out
ratiOnS. TO him she stated that her
mission at Cheyenne agency was to use
her influence with the Indians toward
securing their signatures for the COM
mission. ChaSka would surely sign,
and, since she has just returned from
Washington and learned the full merits
of the bill at the Indian department
and the Indian Rights association, she
felt that it was to the Indians interest
to sign. Should they refuse, it was very
probable that repetition of the Black
Hills treaty might follow, where the
whites rushed in and made a treaty to
suit themselves. Il have talked with
Hump, Crow Eagle, Charger and other
chiefs, and all are satisfied with the
Dawes bill, and unless something hap
pens within the next two days these
Indians will
SIGN WITHOUT FARLEY"

''Oh, no, l shall not. have received

Mrs. ChaSka stated that her parents
were fully recOnciled to the match and

ABERDEEN, Sept. 1.-THE Hamilton
divorce case was the theme of interest
during the first days of the week, and
warmed to the Indignation point as the
testimony was unfolded. The case was
heard before Ii. III. Patten, Esq, of this
city, who was appointed referee. The
parties, William Hamilton and Rose
Bronsky, now Mrs. Hamilton, live in
Winona. though for the past year or
more Mr.. Hamilton, who is son of the
Winona lumber magnate of that name,
has lived at WatertOwn, Oak. The
parties knew each other as children,
and were always on terms of more or
less intimacy, though the parents of
Rose, q
SPLENDID-LOOKINGG GIRL
occupied lowly station as compared to
the great house of Hamilton. For two
wears Hamilton paid Rose BrOnSky as
siduOus court, and i'll February, 1887,
he married her. 1t was secret mar
rage. conSummated under circumstances
of more or less mystery. Within week
the murder was out. Hamilton left for
Dakota. and, after the lapse of sufficient
time to establish residence, began
PROCEEDINGS FOR DIVORCE,
alleging adultery. AT the trial seven
witnesses were drought in person, or
through dispositions. to swear that Rose
Hamilton had violated her vows and
justified the deSertiOH of her husband.
Their testimony was not conclusive. 1t
was centradicted by the defendant in
person, by parties with whom she was
alleged to have been criminally init
mate, by the appearance of the chief
witness and his conflicting statements
upon the stand, and by diagrams of the
building in which the acts were alleged
to have occurred, which could not lie.
With power, wealth and influence on
one side, and
A WEAK WOMAN
on the other, popular sympathy was
naturally in her favor, and when she went
upon the stand and in simple, straight
forward way, without atfectation,
told her story, sympathy deepened into
indignation. Prominent citizens, forget
ting the proprietieS, were OutSpOken in
their condemnation of the wrong which
was being attempted. This sentiment
found expression in the following
sCATHING REBUKE
in local paper:
ave learn that there is gang of un-
scrupulOus rascalS in our city trying to
ruin the fair reputation of lady, among
whom is one who has sworn before high
heaven to protect her honor.
I'VE have lived i'll country whereof
such crime were attempted, the gang
would be notified to leave inStanter,
and if they failed to comply, would be
treated to coat of tar and feathers.
From the mutteringS we have heard
among our best citizens to-day, there is
disposition to give them notice, and
if not needed do likewise"
The hearing closed Tuesday evening,
but had it continued longer citizens
might have made it hot for one or two
of the witnesses.
The case will not be decided for some
weeks, but if it were submitted to the
people of Aberdeen a verdict of no
cause for action would be promptly
rendered.

THE BLUFF CITY BUDGET.
DR.. w. III. Pratt to be Requested to
Resign.

The report was current upon the
streets of Saltwater yesterday that DIR.
w. III. Pratt had been requested by the
board of inspectors to resign the posi-
ton of prison physician, which he has
held for the past thirteen years. There
have been no charges preferred against
him and no reason was assigned for the
change. The doctor was supporter of
Merriam, and it is said that ''Offensive
partiSanShip" in not espOuSing the
cause of McGill is the real reason for
athe desired change. DIR. Pratt was seen
last evening, and stated that the rumOr
was unfOunded, so far as the official re-
quest to resign was concerned. In
Spector Doe had, however, informed his
business partner, DR.. L. G. Clark, that
unless he (Pratt) rendered his resigna-
ton before their next regular meeting
he would be removed. He further
stated that the only reason for his re-
mOyal was that he had supported Mer-
riam in preference to McGill in the late
contest for the Republican delegation
from this county. The mortality report
for the thirteen years of his service as
prison physician had never quite
reached l per cent of the
people in his charge, while
that of the British army during times
OF peace was 2 per cent. For the past
hYe years but twenty deaths had oc-
Cured from sickness and but twenty
four in all. Not death had resulted
from typhoid fever or dySentery. The
probable successor to DR.. Pratt is said
to be DR.. W. II. Game. of this city.
David Bronson, chairman of the late
Democratic county convention, has, in
accordance with resolution passed by
that body while in session, appointed

mlttee for the ensuing year: Samuel

Hub Smith PersOnates Jack
Dempsey.
FOND OF A JOKE.

III. B. Smith, is the way it reads upon
the hotel register. Every one knows
Hub Smith as jolly good fellow who
always adds cheer by his presence. He
is but one of the great army Of com
mercial tourists. and travels out of St.
Louis, selling vinegar with side line
OF soaps from Chicago. One of his stock
arguments is "if | don't sell
this vinegar it will sour on my
hands" Hub is something of
wag, and often plays practical joke
upon some unSuSpecting fellow. He
was up at Detroit, Mimi, about the
Tune or the opening of the Hotel Min
nesota, and IL happened that Barnum's
or some other show was in town the
same day. Smith approached the clerk,
grip IN hand, and asked as to the capac-
ity or the Office safe, and gently limited
that he was cashier of the show. The
safe was inspected, and by turning out
all the books, etc, room was made for
the grip, and it was safely en-
sconsced within. There was
confederate or two in the scheme,
and when exploded the clerk said,
Cigars all around, gentlemen" An
other time Hub walked into the prlnci-
pal hotel at Madison, Wis. Gt was
about the time of Jack Dempsey's visit
to the Twin Cities and in a bold hand
registered Jack Dempsey, and asked to
be shown a room. The clerk Whirled
the register around, and reading the
name assigned him to one of the best
rooms, and with a great deal of civility
plotted the way up. Hub remained
few moments, and coming down
stairs found half dozen fell
lows scanning the name, but
undaunted, he approached the clerk,
and asked to be shown the postOffice. AS
he walked down the street his eOnfed-
crates overheard such remarks as:
what splendid shoulders" Look at
his legs!'' 'Ain't he slugger?" Re-
turning to the hotel, he went to his
room, but the great center of attraction
that afternoon was the hotel office,
where nearly every man in town could
have been seen. The joke was only
terminated when Smith had to face some
local newspaper reporter who presented
his card just after supper.

THEY ARE VERSATILE.

The Republican platform adopted at
WATERFOWL declares unalterable OppO-
sition TO admission as a whole. Those
not familiar with the peculiarities of
the average Dakota politician who runs
with the party that has had control
would be likely to attach too strong sig
nificance to such language. A good
many of the men who voted for this i'm
placable declaration only last December
figured in the one-state convention at
Aberdeen and were confident they were
unalterably opposed TO division. Strong
language comes easy in Dakota. The
brisk, exhilarating atmosphere gets
into the speech and gives vigOr and
emphasis. Republican platforms should
ALWAYS be read in connection with this
elementary view. 1t is not necessary
to suppose that these supple gentlemen
are inconsistent or have changed their
ODiniOns since December. If there is
another One-State convention next win
ter. after the reelection of Mr.. CLEVE-
LAND and another Democratic congress.
these gentlemen will be there, and I'M
alterably for admission as a whole.
Just now it is the Republican policy to
favor division. More senators are
needed to retain control of the upper
branch of congress, and four FROM Da-
kota would be extremely convenient.
The office seekers naturally favor two
states, as it gives more holes for the pegs,
as Mr.. LINCOLN would say. So for the
time being they are unalterable for that
course. They are versatile gentlemen,
always turning up where they fancy
the popular breeze is coming. 1t is re-
marked that the one-state matter is
sleeping. Since the Republicans have
made the partisan stand for two states.
it would be useless to eXpend effort for
admission, but it should not be under
stood that popular sentiment has under
gone a change on this subject. No adj
vance movement can be looked for until
