The Buffalo Euenin0 Neus publishes a
over Niagara Falls. Tho affair was
shrouded in such mystery, aut bore such
palpable evidence of fraud, that tho Ncws
set out to prove it another one of those
sensational fakes OF which Donovan's al
legged leap from the suspension bridge and
kimballs swim through the whirlpool
rapids were the f~orerunners. In this lat
ter essay of Graham's the facts brought to
light prove it to have been . clear case of
fraud and an attempt to gain additional
notoriety by chicanery. The expose in
substance is as follows: Frank II.
Haggerty. a stenographer, states that
lie was fishing in the river near IASalle
on the day of the allegedfeat. At LaSa lie
he met Garrett G.. Staley. who said he was
employed by Graham to cut loose his
barrel on the following morning and send
him over the falls in it. haggerty pro.
help him release the barrel. Sta!ey con-
scented and the two men went in u bont
down to Prospect Point, just above the
falls. There they met q man whom Hug
gerty thinks was Dover, o theatrical MAN.
ngcr. who said he was watching for tho
barrel. They also met Constable Horn,
who was said to have taken Graham out of
the barrel below the falls. He also said
he was watching for it. .Horn and Staley
remained with me-" says H ggcrty. It'll
after the hour which it was claimed the
barrel with Graham in it went over. We
saw no barrel nor did any go over the fails
up to that limo. Staley was with me
constantly until we returned to LaSaile.
We did not leave the point until nearly
z o'clock. We did not see Graham mt ali.
If he was found in the barrel below the
falls he entered il down there ana was
pushed out into the river" Haggerty is
a perfectly Trustworthy gentleman aud his
statement can be implicitly believed.

when a mischievous classmate held q slate
pencil. freshly sharpened, under him.

weight upon the pencil. which penetrated
his left thigh three inches. and broke off
just inside the epidermis. The injuredlad
shrieked with pain and had to be taken

called who had to cut open the leg to re-
move the pencil, which had penetrated
clear to the bone. The result of the mad
prank NAV not vet he foretold.

On the question as to whether or not Il
Is necessary for the agreement signed by
the Sioux ceding their lands to the govern
ment to be ratified by congress, Acting
Commissioner Belt, of the Indian office,
writes: Slhe commissioners appointed to
negotiate with the Sioux were appointed
by the president under authority found in
. clause in the Indian appropriation act OF
March 2. 1889, witch provides that such
agreements when made. to be then submit
ted to the first session, Fifty first con.
Rress, for ratification"
1t is true that the commissioners pre-
sented the provisions of the act for divid-
lug the reservation to the Sioux. but that
was o part of their negotiations, the only
power vested in them. As the commits
sioners are acting under the authority
contained in the clause in the Indian APP
propriation act, md not under that cor.
tanned in the act Of March 2, 1883, it is
held by this Office that any agreements me-
gotlated by them must be submitted to
congress for ratification"
Tho National Crop Report.
The crop bulletin for September from
the department at Washington says Of the
west: There is complaint of drought west
of the Mississippi, but too late in the season
for q serious reduction. West of the Mis-
souri, the condition has been more favora-
BILE than in any part Of t 9 county, and
the crop is very large. In several surplus
states the figures for condition are: Iowa,
". a loss OF q points; Missouri, 90, q loss
Of 3 points; Kansas, yS, and Nebraska, SO.
The quality of western grain, as shown by
its grading. is comparatively poor, and
will affect the weight ana intrinsic value.
The condition of spring whel 1t is reported
higher than for August in the northern
portion of the belt and slightly lower in
Iowa and Nebraska, as follows: Minne-
kota, G3. The local rates Of yield in
Dakota arc extremely variable, ranging
from l to 20 bushels per acre.

To Reclaim vast, r,,.c.,.Y

j. D.. Mcintyre, irrigation engineer of
Montana, has put two corps Of engineers
on the field in Washington to locate the
lines of a vast irrigation system. A COM
pany consisting Of a number Of members
of the board of directors Of the Northern
Pacific railroad, has entered into a con-
tract and purchased over 1000, 900
of tho Northern Pacific land

placed several parties Of engineers
IN the field to lay out the lines of canals.

The Real Cause of Grass Illness.
A Bismarck report says: Chief John
Grass WIS not poisoned. Agent Nc
Laughlin has just returned from the bed
side Of Grass, who has been at the point
of death for some time, and reports the
great chief convalescent. He states au.
thoritatively That Grass was overcome by
the heat, and as one Of the effects q SWELL
ing was formed in the thro 1t. To reduce
the swelling he used a gargle of kerosene
oil freely. and the strain was so great chat
1t caused he%morrhage, which came near
sending the great chief of the Sioux nation
to the happy hunting grounds. He is now
resting we'll, and, in the opinion of Agent
Mclaughlin, will recover.
Hundreds Of Indians are said to be now
convins ed that the illness of Grass is the
just r%etribution visited upon them by the
Great Spirit for having signed the treaty
deciding their lands to the whites, and are
wondering if it is possible for them to
withdraw their signatures and undo their
evil work. Here it is thought that Sitting
Bull has done the poisoning. He did not
poison John Grass. but he has taken adj
vantage Of his sudden illness, following so
closely upon his grand VIC DRY in inducing
the Indians to sign, to poison the minds Of
the Indians with the same mysterious
charm and inexhaustible cunning which
made him their great leader during the
Custer campaign aud gave him credit for a
victory which he never won. He is now
m%onopolizing the friendship of the Great
Spirit and loses no time to convince the
superstitious warriors that he was in the
right when he opposed the opening of the
reservation: AS proof he points with awe
and crocodile regrets to the manner in
which the Great Spirit has Frustrated
Grass, but in nil probability his plans will
come to naught. for tho prospect of Grass
recovery is good. If Grass should now
die Sitting Bull and his Great Spirit"
would be a strong team with the reds.

Starvation in tho Far Northwest,

0G8Tv0t100 IN tho Far northwest
A terrible tale Of suffering in the far
north is told by the Rev. Z. H. Black, u
Church of England missionary near Fort
Simpson, who mas just arrived ut Winni-
peg, Manitoba. Last winter was a very
hard one for the Indians, owing to I o alb
sence of reindeer and the impossibility of
hunting. moose successfully i'll the absence
Of much snow. T h persons starved ut
Fort Wrigley. Mr.. Black fears tina. the
mortality during the coming winter will be
great unless there comes q heavy fall of
snow. Provisions, he states, gave out ct
the fort last winter in the beginning of
January. Flour is dear enough there at
all times. the regular price being $3Oa bag
at Fort Wr1gley, while it is $27 q bag at
Fort Simpson. But Mr.. Black says he
would have given 5000 a bag last winter if
he could have purchased some. and have
given the Indians o share. The distress in
that district was er.ible and the suffering
intense. He had to leave to avoid starva.
ton. At Fort Laird seven. died from
starvation last winter.

More Indian Lands Secured.
Maj. James Whitehead has returned to
st. Paul with the welcome intelligence that
4,OOO.0 900 acres Of land in northern and
central Minnesota are about to be opened
to settlement.
Commissioners Rice, Whiting and Marty
got into q violent quarrel with the red men
at Leech Lake and came pretty close to
losing their lives. Finding the Fillager
Indians obstinate they sent to the Black
Hills for Maj. Whitehead to come and as
sist them. The major was IN Indian
agent as far back as 1856, and is we'll ac-
quainted with the Indians of the northwest
call Of the commission aud their success
at Leech Lake is largely due to his efficient
aid. He left the party on the upper Mis-
sissippi and reports that they had made n
complete success of arranging for the
opening of the following reservations:
Leech Lake, Prairie Point, Cass Lake,
Winnebigorish, White Oak, Pogegelna
Falls. Sandy Lake. This leaves but one
other reservation to be secured, namely,
Bots Fork reservation, which the commits
sion will proceed to visit without delay.
Mai. Whitehead speaks enthusiastically of
the benefits to be derived from the work of
the commission. which will open up for
settlement 5000. 900 or 1900, 900 acres Of
splendid land, which is not only rich if re-
garded from an agricultural point of view,
but is we'll watered, grown with valuable
forests Of both pine and u variety of hard
woods. He regards the terms of the treaty
most beneficial to the Indians, asthey may
select q homestead from the land conveyed
to the government, provided they cultivate
the land, otherwise they will receive their
benefit In cash, etc., and be required to
occupy the White Earth reservation.
