John +. Beggs, the imprisoned senior guard
ian OF Camp 20, Gamma Gael, filed q new
petition for writ of habeas corpus giving
as a reason why he should be set at liberty,
that he has been Jailed and indicted solely in
the hope that he would thus be forced to
turn states evidence The testimony OK
peCted OF him, he says, has no foundation i'll
fact. Beggs, in his petition, further says
that while he was illegally imprisoned and
aecreted from his friends, Immediately pre-
Ceding his Indictment, he was taken before
the states attorney, who tried to induce him
to make certain statements, the facts so de-
sired not being within the knowledge of
BeggE, and that in the conversation,
the states attorney said in substance, by
the newspapers YOUR are condemned al
ready; the only way, or the best way out of
it for you is to stand with us," meaning
thereby to stand with the prosecution. and
further staung IN the conversation: "It you
will accept employment from us we will pay
you torit" To which BeggI responded in
substance: III YOU mean by standing with
you that shall give you testimony by
which any person or persons might be con-
vtCted OF the murder of DR.. CrOnlD, cannot
accept your employment for the reason
that | have no facts which would tend TO
convict or even cast suspicion upon any per-

4 RAILWAY Trust.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The following letter IS
said to have been sent to railroad managers
generally:
New York July 8.-My Dear Sir: As the inter
state commerce bill has abolished the pooling
arrangements heretofore existing bet the
trunk and other pool lines, the necessity for
some system Of regulating ana controlling their
traffic seems TO lie a. great If not greater, than
ever befOle and some new plan must at an early
date Je devised therefor SuCh plan, to he Cf-
feCtive, should cover the following points:
First Maintain all the equities. not only he
tween the railway companies themselves. Dut
also between their respective stockholders IN
tereSts.
Second-Continue the LEGAL ard all other relr-
ttOns OF the respective railway companies to the
United States and the several states under
which they are organized as at present.
Jhlrd-Secure unity Of interest upon aDsO-
lutel1 equitable basis in the ownership, opera
ton and earnings OF all the lines.
This being accomplished, the weak elcmenf s
of all pooling arrangements and the temptation
to the companies t. Cut off or destroy the same
will have been removed, and TIE power of large
shippers TO play of one line against the other
Will be reduced to the minimum, if not
destroyed. The above and many other dc
slrabe points which will readily occur
to you can. IN my JUDGMENT. BE
readily secured, ard secured only by placing at
least majority of the shares of each OF I he com
peting Eastern trunk lines, the coal lines, the
Southwestern and Northwestern lines and the
transcOninental lines and their respective attii-
atCd companies, arranged by territorial groups

oil and other successful trusts. For some time
past l have given much thought to the creation
and conduct of such organizations and | an
satisfied that trusts, constituted as above out
lined, would enable the business Of the reanec-
tive territorial groups to be regulated ard con-
trolled in the best interest of the prODrietOrs
and without arousing any greater restrictive in
PREVENTION on the part of the national or state
governments than exist ut present.
JOHN J. MCCOOK-
New YORK, July 12.-In regard to Nc
Cooks circular he to-day Faid that the state
nent prin ed in Chicago that certain railroads
were already committed to the scheme, vas
incorrect. He also said that the Original
letter had been written without conference
or consultation with any railroad or other
official. Not man nor road has been
committed to it. McCook has received let
tiers acknowledging the receipt OF the circu-
lar, but none OF the writers have given the
| matter sufficient consideration to pass an
opinion on 1t DR.. Magoun, Mr. McCOOk's
partner, was also seen, and stated that while
what Mr.. McCook had said was substantially
correct, nevertheless there was scheme in
the air for the formation of a series OF trusts
| among the railroads, and it embodied very
nearly the ideas in Mr.. McCook's circular.

The Indian Commission is getting disconr.

The Indian Commission is getting disconr-
aged. At Crow Greek Gen Crook and Gov.
Foster we're in consultation with the leading
Indians, but found they were playing the
commissioners for what they could get out
of them. They advanced ideas, but General
Crook drove them out Of every position they
assumed when he had SO far brought them
into line as to make them anxious to come
to some terms. In the evening Gov. Foster
went out to where they were holding cOun-
ell and dance with the intention Of using the
Ohio political idea with them, but this idea
is not one which can be worked successfully
for next morning found the Indians in an en-
trenched position, ready to argue the ques-
ton. Gen Crook says it is mistaken idea
to be in any way familiar with an Indian or
lead him to believe you are at all anxious to
to make him proposals, but on the contrary,
to wait proposals from him. and conccde
slowly to him what he wishes, if in reason.
The general expresses himself as more dis.
cOuraged than at any time since these nego
tiations have begun. He is entirely hopeless
Of success, but thinks that more time will be
needed at the upper agencies, and maybe q
return to Pine Ridge will be necessary to
complete the work there, where he sLill has
hopes Of success.

REPORTS IN nETA1I4

j ne IOllOWlnH special AeIOrBN were re-
ceived by the PIONEER PRESS yesterday:
Warren-Crops have improved since the rain
on July ], but MANY fields are thin and weedv
on account of the high winds and dry weather.
The average yield iu Marshall county is esti
mated at from ten to twelve bushels to The acre.
Chamberlain, S. D.--Heavy rains have fallen
in this section. The outlook for the corn crop
is excellent. Small grain is nearly all harvested
and is not very heavy crop.
St. James-Crop prospects in WatOnwan
county were never better. The strong south
wind Of Friday and Saturday and the heat hf
plentiful showers since Sunday evening have
favorable circumstances an abundant harvest
will be gathered.
Faribault-Several farmers are cutting barley
little or no damage to winter wheat, but they
are working in many fields Of spring wheat and
oats now Rain has checked their work to some
extent Corn is looking very fair in many sec
lions Of the country. Hay Is short GrOCe
Rochester-There is some danger of rust on
oats, but apart from that risk the promise for
yield is said by old farmers to he good in most
directions as ever seen here. Even the timothy
seed crop, which has been looking poorly, has
been improved so per cent during the past ten
DAYS OlmsLcd county has little to complain
of this year
Oriska, N D.-FOr the past week the crops
have shown great amount Of growth. We ex-
poet some wheat, and good wheat If hot winds
do not come until after grain Is headed. We have
had cool weather with but little rain. Some of

VICTIMS OF NERVES.
They Are, as Rule, Extremely Selfish
People.

They Are, as a Rule, Extremely Selfish
People.
Nervous people, experience shows us,
are, as rule, extremely selfish. says the
Boston Herald. La femme nerveuse is the
most inconsiderate specimen of her sex.
Her nerves have become species of fetish
which must be propitiated by the sacrifice
of everybody's comfort except her own. She
considers every action. both of herself and
the world at large, primarily from the point
of view of the effect which it will have on
her nerves. If she happened to be omni-
potent, she would, no doubt, at once stop
the movement of the earth, for fear of its
giving her 'turn." Her sentiment ofpity
for the misfortunes of others is entirely
blunted by her horror of the sight of pain
and the sound of woe.
She exacts the utmost forbearance and
sacrifice from Others-not for herself, but
for her nerves-and exempts herself from
gratitude on the same grounds. She tends,
in fact, to become completely soulless, ac-
cepting all devotion as her due, bitterly re-
senting any resistance to her claims, and
substituting fo- all higher spiritual life an
egotistical form of pessimism, which is as
delusiye as it is difficult to combat. That
she is not actively cruel is an accident; pas
sively cruel che is continually, without re-
morse or thought, and it is probable that
when provocation and opportunity offered
themselves simultaneously she would not
stay her hand from direct cruelty.
