gram July 2.-The Sioux commission had
their first council with the indians at Lower

to you an act of congress, asking
you to ratify it and agree to it

man was made by God the equal of the

bill sets aside for you and your children for

More Mystery About Mrs, sabin.

A New York telegram says: There is little
doubt that Mrs. Ellen A. Sabin, the divorced
wife ofex- Senator Sabin, is now on her way
to Europe, a passenger on the steamship
Germanic, which sailed from this port Mrs.
Sabin was taken to Sanford Hall, u private
asylum for the insane ut Flushing, L. l., a
ew months ago while her husband was
awaiting the decision of the court which
granted his divorce. When reporter called
upon DR.. j. W. Barstow, manager of SANFORD
Hall, the doctor was very reticent at first
and declined to say anything at all on the
subject. Il don't know anything about Mrs.
Sabin, said Dr. Barstow, "and shall not
say anthing, elther.' The doctor, however,
finally admitted Mrs. Sabin was brought to
him several months ago, and that she was a
very sick lady at that time. But she has i'm
proved wonderfully since then" continued
DR.. BarstOw. She has been great opium
eater and was naturally more or less insane.
She has done very we'll while here. and has
received a number OF her friends from time
to time When asked as to the letter writ
ten by Mrs. Sabin, which was published,
wherein he speaks highly Of her husband,
the doctor said that he beheved it to be gen
uine. She was at liberty to write anything
she choose while at my place, and she could
communicate with whOmsOever she cared o.
She was not confined here against her will.
Now, mark me- don't say that Mrs. Sabin
is not here now, nor do say that she has
let. 1t would not do forme to say anything
about the lady or her movements She is in
the hands of her friends, and if they choose
to say anything about her they can do SO" "
