 At this juncture his honor told her to raise her veil. She disclosed under her right eye c most beautiful smbellishmsnt, which exc tended half the length of her face. She had been hit pretty hard by someone. She would not tell how she received the bruiss. Her eye was almost closed.

THEY DO NOT HAVE SEED ENOUGH.

It often happens that when they have plowed up large areas of land, said the speaker, the Indians find that they have not wheat enough or other seed to SOW it. This is due to the governments negligence and she believes it is enough to discourage them entirely. The government sends them the poorest seed and 8 small variety of it, the poorest utensils, the poorest drugs, and the poorest of everything. She had tried in vain to get the small books che wanted, and for two years had been obliged to take what was left over at the agency. She be- lieved this is due largely to the system of furnishing the articles by contract.
 The government also frequently imposed upon the Indians through it's commissioners who frequently arouse their anger by mak- ing exorbitant and unfair demands, exam pies of which she cited. The future of the red man was in American citizenship. She had never been more kindly or hospitably treated than by them. She knew that they would make excellent citizens. The speaker concluded by commenting the new Indian agent, a man devoted to them, and urged every one to do all in his power to promote his confirmation by the senate of the United States.

BEWARE OF IA GRIPPE. IL Has Obtained . Foothold In New England and May spread Rapidly Now In BOntOn.

Now in Boston.
 La Grippe is very prevalent in Boston. The Boston Herald says that it has created quite sensation in that city. People of all circles have been attacked by it, and Christi mas trade was affected on account of 1t to some extent. William H. Blies, son of Zsnus Bliss, of this city, who is employed at the Golfer Tower Manufacturing company, has been severely affected with 1t. He writes that the Russian influenza attacks people first with severe pains in the back and head. This is followed by great debility and feel ing of utter exhaustion. Doctors say that it leaves patient in so exhausted a condition that pneumonia is liable to follow. In one establishment, employing large number of hands, one.third have been afflicted by it. It is reported to be spreading in every direo. tion, and is liable to visit every section oi the country now that 1t has obtained foot. hold

 There was general applause in the audi ence when the speaker said that the Indian women dress more comfortably than Amer ican ladies and that she always had felt cer- tain compunction of conscience about advis- ing them to change 1t for a more suitable attire. The men, she said, clung to the gay decorations of their race, although in general they wear civilian costumes which are grow ing more and more in use.
 SHOUTS TO THE NEIoHBoRs FROM A HILLTOP.
 The government agencies as a general thing are mismanaged and offer opportun ities for many abuses. There is @ farm at each one in charge of farmer, who has an assistant. There is also @ physician, whose duty it is to look after the health of about 5000 Indians. The farmer looks after kind of experiment station at the agency. The assistant farmer goes out among the Indians to teach them. The more im- portant farming implements are scarce, and the government never sends half the seed they are nearly all farmers-wants blow he must ask the agency farmer for it. It is loaned him for three or four days, appointed before hand. It matters not whether those days are rainy or Poor Lo is sick; at the ex- piration of them the blow must be passed on to another farmer. The day an Indian is going to blow he goes to the top of hill in the morning and shouts at tho top of his voice to all the neighbors who live within half mile to come and help him blow. The blows are cheap affairs furnished by govern ment contractors. They frequently break down, and 1t takes long time to repair them. After the Indians have plowed two or three rows they sit down and talk 1t over before they % on

A Lady's Three Years Experience on a
 Reservation.
 Miss Elaine Goodale gave very interest," ing statement of her experience of three years duration on an Indian reservation, be- fore the recent convention of the State Agri- cultural Society. Miss Goodale is 2 young lady of simple and unassuming manners. She spoke in conversational, natural voice with no attempt at oratory. She had been teacher, she said, on a reservation in Dakota. The reservation comprised 35,000 miles, all lying west of the Mississippi. She had travelled over the most of this territory on horseback during her vacations. The people who formed their opinions of the Red men from seeing them through the windows of palace car, Miss Goodale went on to show, are not always right.

They were apt to form their ideas from seeing the government rations distributed at an agency when they arrive. The Indians on those days dress in their best clothes. The afternoon of the day is spent in song and dance and an elaborate supper with other festivities follows in the evening. When the meat Is distributed one hundred or moro frenzied steers are driven into a cor- ral and one is let out at Q time. The fami- meat are notified and the men and boys, mounted on horseback and armed with rifles set after it, shouting and yelling. They finally kill it and the meat is dressed.

MAHONE's MAIZE HAULED DOWN

MAFONE'S NAME HAULED DOWN
The Harrisonburg Spirit of the VALLEY
of last Friday, announces that it can no
longer support Gen. Malone for Governor,
and takes the ticket down. 1t say:
'It is we'll known to all the readers of the
Spirit that we have never been able to give
Gen. Malone hearty support since he was
nominated at Norfolk, but when we read Gov.
Cameron's letter showing his malice, and his
duplicity, and showing the depths to which
he would descend in order to strike one for
whom he even then protested friendship, we
at once determined that we could not and
would not advise our readers to vote for any
such man for Governor. Personal honesty
ought to be above all party considerations.
x x ::
'This letter not only proves what we have
stated above, but it shows also that General
Malone, while thus attacking Ex-Governor
Cameron for his connection with the Planters
and Mechanics Bank Of Petersburg, had, by
means of legal conveyance OF contract be-
tween himself and his (Gen. Mahone's) son
prevented the State of Virginia from getting
part of the money due her, and this, too, when
Gen. Malone is himself reputed to be very
rich-in fact, to be worth largely over mil
lion dollars.

PROGRESS UNDER DEMOCRATIC
RITZ f.

"Bourbon" is the senseless and favorite
cry of the Mahoneites applied to the Dem
ocratic party. Their argument is that the
Democracy of Virginia is not progressive.
If that were true who has made the pro-
gress in Virginia in the past ten years :?
Not the Malone people Look at them.
How many Of them head any public enter
prises OF have headed them? Nine-tenths
of the capital owned in Virginia, and
nine-tenths of the men controlling it are
antiMahone. How many Malone men are
building OF projecting railroads? How
many of them are developing the resources
of the State? Look around your own
neighborhood and say. All enterprises
flourish under Democratic rule. Take the
facts from the statistics of MI B. B.
Munford, ascertained from the books in the
capitol: 1.-The reports Of the commission
Ell of railroads shows that in 1883 only
ffty-siX miles of railroad were constructed
in Virginia. Between 1888 and 1887 five
hundred and sixty miles were constructed,
while in 1888 two hundred and ninety-four
were built. The returns for 1889 have not
all been received, though enough is known
to warrant the assurance that the year just
closing has been successful one for the
old State in this important branch of her
prosperity.
1.-The secretary of the Commonwealth is
required to record all charters granted by
the circuit courts of the Commonwealth
for the incorporation of companies to carry
on commercial, manufacturing Oh other
industrial enterprises. His reports show
that for the years 1882 and 1888 there were
incorporated in the State one hundred and
siXty-seven companies, while for the eigh-
teen months ended the 18th of September,
1889. there were incorporated four hundred
and tifty-ive. Neither of these aggregates
include the charters granted by the Legisla-
lures. The comparison is highly favorable
to the times of Democratic rule

A PATHETIC STORY Spotted

Gen. Malone S ''School and Tariff Advo-
cate, y recently published a very affecting
letter purporting to be written by member
of Co. H, 6lst Va. regiment, (Gen. Groner S
old regiment) describing the wounding of
one of it's members in the Seven Days Fight
around Richmond; the dismounting of Gen
Malone at the wounded mans side, his
kneeling, cutting the clothing from the
wound and with his own white silk hand
kerchief binding it up, not paying any at
tention to the whistling bullets. 1t was
pretty picture. The fact that Capt. H.
E. Orr, the Captain of Co. H, comes out in
a letter stating that when the Seven Days
Fight was going on, his company was TWEEN
ty-fve miles off-at Petersburg somewhat
damages the accuracy of the picture, but
takes away none Of it's beauty which can
still exist where it originated-in the mag
nation.

THE MILLIONS VIRGINIA WAS
DEPRIVED OF

In the interview had by representative
of the Staunton INDICATOR with Hon. H.
Fl. Riddleberger at Woodstock, recently,
that ex-senator said Gen. Malone had given
him as his reasons for refusing to vote for
the Blair bill, that the control of the money
would go to the damned Bourbons of the
Southern States" This is now confirmed
by Col. Lamb, friend of Malone. In a
speech at Richmond, Saturday night, this
occurred, as told by the Richmond Dis
patch:
The speaker was several times interrupted
by Democrats proposing some question to him,
but he kept perfectly cool and had reply
ready until he touched upon the Blair bill and
some one shouted
"Why didn't Malone vote for it?''
At this the Democrats cheered for over a
minute and the Colonel seemed somewhat en-
barraSsed for a reply. Finally he said Ma
hone didn't vote for the measure because he
(Mahone), like himself Namb), wanted an
the Southern States would get, would not be
put in the hands of Democratic Governors for
distribution.
Here is a nice confession A Virginia
Senator refusing to vote for bill which
would have given his State $5,0OO,O0O for
the education of her poor children, because
the money would have to be paid out by the
opposite political party This ought to
silence Malone about education and the
Blair bill forever. He gets the blow full in
the face from his nearest friend, Col Lamb
Of Norfolk, and the fact now stands indis-
putable even by the Malone men
