THE INDIAN COMMISSION.
Pine Ridge and Cheyenne Indians Decid-
eddy 0bject-Signing at Stand
inc Rock,

DEADwOOD, Oak, Aug. pa large
number of Sioux Indians from Pine Ridge
and Cheyenne agencies are here to attend
the United States court now in session
Conversation with a number of them on
the subject of opening a portion of the
reservation shows most conclusively that
the Indians as a whole are not willing
to consent and that failure will only await
the commissioners when they try else
where.
PIERRE, OAK, Aug. 4.-Messrs. Pratt
Wright and Cleveland. of the Indian
commission, passed the day here, coming
down from Standing Rock on the steamer
Rose Bud" They are en- route for the
Crow agency at TT. Thompson. They say
the only opposition at Standing Rock was
from the chiefs. This opposition rapidly
disappeared, as is shown by the fact that
as the boat was leaving two chiefs, Big
Thunder and Standing Bear, came aboard
and signed and a telegram was received
stating that two more chiefs had signed.
Captain Pratt expressed the belief that on
their return to Standing Rock every In
dian will sign and he has not the slightest
doubt that the treaty will be ratified.
The Indians came over the river in large
numbers when they heard the commits
sioners were here and have been signing
all day The Rose Bud' left at 5 o'clock
last night for Crow Creek, going from
there to Cheyenne agency.

A visit to the W. c.. T. L. ladies Indus

ing their large window in the Sedgwick
block on First street, where they will soon
be prepared TO advertise for consignees for
plain and fancy needle work. An ex-
change in speaking of this line of policy
as pursued in an eastern city. says:
One lady earned S3I4.9l in yeaI making
broom cases and pen wipers, another clears
$50 embroidering initials alone, another
300 making cake, a china painter makes
s400 or $500 annually, and a decorator of
screens has an income OF 81 POO a year. One
lady makes a pretty sum from the bouillon
that is served at the Exchange, and an
other, after failing in everything else,
earns a nice income from chicken Gro
quettes, which one of the managers taught
her to make. Another supports herself
making infants embroidered wrappers
Frequently wealthy lady who does not
need work herself pays the entrance fee
fee for three other ladies who do wish to
send in work, and quite as often the bene
factor supplies the needed instruction and
furnishes the requisite material for the
work.

THURMAN At CHICAGO.
The Judge rendered an Ovation and Recep-
ton Upon His Arrival.

CHICAGO, Aug. A.-The special train
reached the depot in this city at $50 but
before that time the people Of the city had
started on the welcome, which has proved
to be most hearty one. At the car shops
and yards on the edge of the city, the rail
road men begged for sight of 'the old
Roman" and a word of greeting from
him. The train moved slowly and the
Judge was kept busy responding to the
cheers and waving hats Of the shirtsleeved
workingmen. At the depot an immense
and enthusiastic crowd filled every foot of
spare room and jostled and crowded in the
effort to see the city's guests. Bands and
political clubs with their music and yell
ing added to the clamor made by the
thousands of eager spectators and amid
the racket of brass and sheepskin and hui
man Threats, Judge Thurman was escort
ed to carriage and the procession
formed and escorted him to the Palmer
house. On the way, the crowds on the
sidewalks and streets cheered number Of
local Democratic clubs, headed by the
Cook County Democratic club: The Jack
son club and the Fourth Ward club
marched with the carriages and followed
the judge into the hotel, where an informal
reception was held. The crowd demanded
speech, and Judge Thurman finally
but begged to be excused from further
effort, as he had already made nine
speeches during the day. He managed to
escape to his room, but the crowd packed
the big rotunda and kept up a constant
calling for him. Their method Of shout

drawing him out once more for good
night appearance. Just after the general
reception the commercial travellers OBJ
tanned an audience and expressed
their good will through a mag
nificent floral offering, four feet square
in the shape and design of an immense
bandana. 1t was made of red and white
asters and gladiols, and fringed with
smilax.
After supper few persons managed to
get into the judges parlor but he wished
to retire early and the doors were soon
fastened and after vain!y shouting for his
appearance, the crowd finally, at late

United States Marshals Cavnaugh and

quiet town of Ogdensburg yesterday by
arresting three of the most reputable citi-
zens. They were John y Stone, LAWYER
Nathan. H. Little, Jr., deputy collector of
customs at Ogdensburg, and w. J. Cum
minsky, janitor of the customs house.
The warrants were sworn out before
United States Commissioner Falrchild
here by j. j. Cowley, a special agent of
the treasury department at Washington,
and the charge reads. AT the city of
Ogdensburg they did wilfully combine,
conSpire, confederate and agree with each
other TO defraud the United States. felon-
iously, embezzle, steal, purloin and take
away from the possession of the United
States about 80 pounds of prepared opium
which was then and therein in possession
of the United States and stored in build
ing owned by the United States and occu-
pied as customs house."

CAPITAL BUDGET.
CLEVELAND OVERl ookFo

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-Representative
Grain, of Texas, today introduced a Joint
resolution authorizing the president to
veto Objectionable items in appropriation
bills, such as those in the river and harbor
measure which Just became law. The
objectionable items in the last bill do not
exceed S50,0 900, and there is a strong i'm
preston that President Cleveland will
meet the present case by instructing the
secretary of war to expend the several
sums appropriated on those items which
meet his approval, and TO withhold the
same on those which he would have vetoed
If thelaw had permitted him to veto specific
items. y precedent for such action was
established by President Grant, who pur-
sued a similar course.
In all his scrutiny of the river and har-
Dor bill il is evident thar the president
passed over very palpabe error on the
first page. Just a few lines from the be
ginning there is q clause which reads.
Improving the harbor at Black Cove
Portland haroor, Me, continuing improve
ment, twenty-five thousand thousand dol
lars
OF course this appropriation of SIS Co.,
600 by the mere repetition of thousand
is a clerical error. but il is so in the officisl
prints of the act and in the act itself. the
parchment of which bears the signature
of President pro tenn Ingalls, and Speaker
Carlisle, and which was deprived of
President Cleveland's signature only be-
rause there were some things in the bill
which he did not approve. The bill is now
a law, and as il now stands II approDriates
H1,00o, 600 instead of 81, 0oo. 000 heretofore
given AS its total. This difference would
wipe out the surplus not already appro-
priated for. 1t is hardly likely, however.
that the mistake will cause any trouble
Gen. Casey is not compelled to expend the
whole amount appropriated and viii prob
ably content himself with the So, 900 actu-
ally intended.

ULTIMATE. FAILURE.

However much my arrows have fallen short.
Or swerved aside, or overshot that marx
Far set, whose circles center but in TRUTH
This the desire-the one unfading dream
The hope of my young manhood-so 10 stand,
So aim, so loose the tense expectant string,
That, at the last, each winged shaft may fly
Unto the heart Of truth unerringly.
Yet--though soothe the sting Of III success
With thoughts of error, lurking in the grass,
Nursing wound some wide tiown dart kAa

A fear dweils ever at my inmost soul,
That, haply, ere my growing skill has won

Break at full bend, or hear its worn cord part
Or find the quiver empty at my belt.

SAW HIS UNCLE'S GHOST.
Why Nebraska Farmer Will Enter the
Ministry.

BRAKEMAN, Neb., Aug. 24.-Abraham
McAdams, one of the wealthiest farmers in
this county is making arrangem ents to
enter the ministry. This discrimination
on the part of Mr.. McAdams was a great
surprise to his friends. There is queer
story in connection with it. Last Thurs
day morning he started to Brakeman
in company with a neighbor named
Ira Boyce. When near a place called
Harrer's Draw, about four miles
east of Atwood, they saw a cloud shaped
like balloon and occupied, apparently, by
a woman, arise from the draw and float
off toward the northwest. 1t went but a
short distance, when it turned and came
toward them. When about 200 yards dis
tant and 100 feet in the air the balloon
suddenly dissolved and left the woman
with long, floating hair, which completely
covered her shoulders and reached TO her
waist, standing alone. She had one hand
oning him.
The ghostlike scene suddenly changed
again and in place of the woman
stood a horse, with large
pair of saddlebags across its
back, and by its side a man with hair worn
rather long and black stovepipe hat on
his head He was dressed in clerical garb
and McAdams at once recognized him as
the exact counterpart of his uncle, Vir-
giDia circuit rider
This apparition also turned for minute
towards the men. Then, regarding Nc
Adams gravelv for a moment, beckoned
once and. mounting the horse, galloped
slowly off down the draw.
When Mr.. McAdams called for his mail
at Brakeman. he was handed letter with
a black border postmarked at Three Riv-
ers, Va. \ portion of IL read:
Your uncle John was called home sud
denly yesterday He was taken i'll in
prayermeeting the night previous, and
only lived short time. He was conscious

given to you, and his dying request was

RATES TO sEABOARD POINTS.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2i.--An effort Is being
made by managers of the Vanderbilt lines
and Chairman Blanchard of the Central
Traffic association, to bring about a
further advance on dressed beef and live
stock rates from Chicago to seaboard
points. Vice President Mccullough, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company, who
was in the city yesterday, said that while
the situation Is clscouraglng TO eastern
roads, yet he did not believe that peace
could be restored Just yet. 80 long as in
ferior and roundabout lines insisted upon
different rates and managed TO get the
bulk of the traffic, 1t would be useless for
strong direct lines TO restore rates, as 1t
would only help weak lines and get strong
ones into deeper water.
