HELP FOR THE INDIAN.
Indian Commi ssioner OberIy's Retention
Favored by the Woman's Assoeiation

At the meeting of the Woman's Indian
association it was decided to help by loan
of $3.50 the Rev. Joshua Given, the Indian
whose lecture here last year excited so much
interest. A sister society has loaned him
money to build cottage and ours is to sup
ply him with horse, wagon and plough.
He is to do missionary work among his own
people the Kiowas.
The association also signed and sent on to
Washington Il petition for the retention of
the Hon. John A. Oberly, the present In
dian commissioner who was appointed last
September. Other branches of the Woman S
association will do the same.

HORSES FOR SOUTH AMERICA.
How Vermont Flyers Are Taken to Bue'

How Vermont Flyers Are Taken to Bue-
nos Ayres-No Trotting There.
Hon. George Hammond of Middlebury
has been purchasing horses for the South
American market and he expected to ship
them March 9th, but he received a letter
from the steamship company yesterday say
ing that the steamers would not stop 1t Rio
for the present as they fear quarantine on
account of yellow fever. Senator Ham
mond was met Thursday by a FREE
Press reporter to whom he kindly gave
some interesting facts regarding the South
American horse trade. The horses are TAX
en- to Buenos Ayres and the voyage requires
from 40 to 40 days. The fare for each horse
is 5000 and the shipper is also Obliged to
furnish hay grain and straw and men to
take care of the horses so that the expense
of transportation is considerable. 1t would
probably cost $1,000 TO send single horse to
Buenos Ayres but the expense for lot is
much less in proportion. The horses are
shipped in large boxes similar to box stalls,
which are made SO that they can
be taken apart, being built at
Middlebury and carried to New York.
Senator Hammond says that the principal
racing in Buenos AyreS is running and the
tracks are mostly one and one-eighth miles
he races are generally single uaslles iOf
from two to five miles, from standing
start, Trotting races are almost entirely
unknown in many parts of that country
The imported horses outside of the racers
are of the heavy coach order, English,
French and Russian, and the spilngy, single
driver is what is in demand just at present.
The lot TO be sent by Senator Hammond
includes two pairs, three stations and three
single drivers. He does not expect now TO
| be able to start before April II.

The Canadian claim that the Alaska
boundary is about ninety miles out of the
way is made the more important by the fact
that the disputed territory covers the best
part of the recently discovered gold fields.
Although the seals and salmon of Alaska are
moro counted upon than its minerals in our
pnrchasa Of the Territory, yet the Yukon
gold district is likely to prove very valua-
bile. About 800 miners were there in the

Tho Brandon UGioa in its extra issue on
the day of the recent fire in that village,
alludes to the difficulty experienced in sound
ing an effective alarm, and intimates that a
portion of the burned hlocl; might have been
saved if the head of water in the water
works had been powerful enough to throw
streams of sufficient strength, and if the fire
men had not been hampered by lack of
ladders to scale the walls. If Deficiencies of
this kind were not so common in country
towns it would seem strange indeed that q
village as large and enterprisiug rs Brandon
should fail to provide an adequate water
supply and efficient fire apparatus. Moth
ing pays better in the long run.

MINNEAPOLIS THEATERS.
A Return to Eelodrama---s'The Still
Alarm" at the Grand.
THE SILVER KING AGAIN.
"Peck's Bad Boy" Threatened at the
Hennepin---"0ur Secretary" at
the Pence.

The 'tStill Alarm" Joseph Arthur
new play. will be the attraction at the
Grand the coming week-the engage
ment commencing tomorrow night.
The play is melodrama of the most
approved order. with the greatest lot of
comedy ever put In drama, and has
the prestige of long run in New York
and London.
The Boston Herald says. SIT is adj
mirably put on the stage, and is worked
up carefully, being full of the realistic
details of fireman's life, with its ex-
element and responsibility. The quiet
of the place when the machine is Off
duty, the stir ofa its return. the stall
ing Of the horses, the jokes of the men,
and finally the getting in of the
still alarm, and the wonder
fully quick responses of the
horses and men and the departure of
the machine, make up the chief at
traction of the play. A novelty is al
ways accepted. and the The Still
Alarm" has this, surely. Harry Lacy,
who plays the role of Jack Marty, is a
tall, slender man, with a remarkable
pair of eyes. He is a bsoiuteiy original
and proportionately hit. He is as
genuine as he is unusual, and in addi-
ton to that he is not theatrical nd is
possessed of a viriIe disposition. which
stamps his entire work with manIiness.
Me seems always perfectly able to ac-
complish what Jack Marty threatens,
and in addition he has wonderfully
Self-cOnfident manner. 1.-The Still
Alarm" will be one of the notable en-
5joymentS of the season.
Hanlon'5 new 'sFantasma." with its
wonderful trick mechanism, its mar
:Nelous scenic effects, its quirks and
m cry scenes, and the host OF fairies
and sprites, will be presented at the
Grand for week following 1.-The

three meaSnrements-one around the

PEOPLES THEATER.

There will be presented at the Peo-
pies theater this week Henry Arthur
Jones' greatest of all melodramas. The
Silver King" AS play it ranks among
the masterpieces, and while it is a
melodrama i'll the best sense, it ranks
far above the original productions of
that class. The story is strong one,
and it is beautifully told. ever growing
, in interest as the play proceeds. The
plot is simple, yet in no other melo-
drama is found one of such strength.
In another particular. it is superior to
any modern play, and that is in the con-
ception and IN the drawing of the char
acters. They are absolutely true to
life, showing that the author had a
thorough acquaintance with human nat
ure. and that he was student of it as
well. The characters of Wilfred Den
