The Indians Congregating.


The latest reports from Standing Rock
are to the effect that the Indians are COM
ing in from the remote quarters OF the
reservation under instruction from Sitting
Bull and the other chiefs and that they are
almost unanimous in their disapproval OF
the bill for the opening of the Sioux reser-
vatiOn.
All but Judge Wright of the commits
sioners appointed by President Cleveland
to confer with the Indians and if possible
obtain their consent to the opening OF the
reservation left for Standing Rock yester-
day morning and the judge will leave on
the steamer Missouri this morning. This
will be one of the most important confer
ences ever held with the Indians in Dako-
ia and the result will be Of vital interest
and importance to the people Of the entire
territory. If the Indians give their con-
sent millions of acres Of land will be
thrown open for settlement, railroads will
be built to the Black Hills and a vast
stretch of territory will be developed with
rapidity unparalleled in the history OF the
country. If the Indians refuse to give
their approval the land must remain in
their possession until such time as con-
gress can wrest it from them without their
consent or until they can be converted to
the belief that the opening OF the reserva-
ton will be for their benefit and the good
of their pOsteritY.

The Democrats Win.

The first of the series of five games be-
tween the democratic and republican mines
was played Wednesday afternoon and re-
suited in complete victory for the demo-
Gratis. This was anticipated, however, by
both sides and the republicans are not dis
appointed. With weak battery and the
loss of two of their best players-Messrs.
DePuy and Holly-they could not expect
to face the enemy with hope of winning.
The first two innings OF yesterdays game
were, however, played without an error,
and in the first inning no one succeeded IN
making first base on either side--a circum-
stance that rarely occurs even in profess
sional games. After the first two innings
it was game Of errors, the republicans
making twenty three and their opponents
eight. The features of the game were
Growers home run in the sixth inning and
the double play in the fourth on Gray's
bat to Newton in the right field. On the
whole the game was more interesting than
the game between Bismarck and Mandan
Saturday. The score by innings was as
follows:
Republicans .........o %
The next game will be played next
Wednesday.

comparing the damp, dark dungeons, the

coined the returning prodigal. Addressing
her hearers as men upon whom had fallen

Truth Stranger Than Fiction.
DEM ING,

If the story told by Mrs. Mary Bridge to Justice Shiellein of East New York recently is true it illustrates the aphorism that truth is stranger than fiction. This story, briefly told, is that she and her husband, John NJ. Bridge, were married in England forty five years ago, and had one child, Loois, now living and working on the Brooklyn bridge. The old man was sailor, but gave up the sea some years ago.
 A few months ago Mrs. Bridge met an old shipmate of her hus band, who expressed surprise at not seeing her in affiuent circum- stances.
 Why" he said, "What has be- come of the f5O,OOO your husband had ten years ago?"
 Fifty thousand pounds! You are crazy," exclaimed Mrs. Bridge.
 Not at all. He had trunks full of gold"
 The astounded Mrs. Bridge went home and charged her hus band with concealing his wealth. He owned up, but implored her not to mention 1t or the Snug Harbor authorities would charge him for seven years board. He also confessed that he recently had been left another fortune. A few days later he disappeared altogether. Justice Schiellein re- ferred Mrs. Bridge to the Con- missioners of Charity.
 It IS now known that Bridge is miser, and it is suspected that he has been pirate. It is said that he has money in half a dozen New York banks. The old couple lived in tenement house on Dean street, near Stone avenue.-N. Y. World.

We have just heard a story which serves to show tbat whether dis taste for certain kinds of fo cd is notional or not, it is we'll to heed 1t. A Boston man had evolved an instinctive theory against eel and could never be induced to try it, Some friends who liked the dish were determined he should, and having the eel cooked in dis guised manner, invited him to dine and had him partake. He aattea the fish with relish and commended it highly. Then, having enjoyed his discontinue, they told him what it was. Before twenty-four hours the family doctor was at his wits end to relieve that mans agony, and saved his life at close pinch. Boston Advertiser.
