Allegheny county, residing at Tarentum, has
for along time suffered from Catarrh. He
had a hacking cough, dizziness and pain over

1t is Expected the Sioux Reservation Can b
Settled Upon Early IN October

1t is Expected the Sioux Reservation Can Be
Settled Upon Early IN October.
There is every indication of a lively
time in the two Dakotas this fall. The
great Sioux reservation will soon be
thrown owen for settlement between now
and Oct. I. The sucoess OF the Sioux
commission in securing the required
number of signatures of the male adult
Indians to the Sioux bill passed by con-
gress last winter leaves little more to be
done except for congress To ratlfy the
agreement and for President Harrison to
issue proclamation opening the tract
for settlement. 1t is thought that this
proclamation will be Issued about Oct. l.
About IL 000,000 acres OF land will be thus
added TO the public dominion. Taking
into consideration the fact that the open
ing comes so late in the tall it is not like
ly thai anything like the Oklahoma craze
will be experienced. That there will be
great rush of settlers to enter claims
upon the valuable land is not to be doubt
cd. One of the happiest men in the
Sioux comfy is @. p. Jordan, Indiar
Iost-trader at ROeebud agency. Jordan
has good deal of influence among the
Sioux, and commission was greatly in
debted TO him while at Rosebud agency
Jordan is white man, but his wife
faii-biooded Sioux and a niece of Red
Cloud, the cunning old chief of the Pine
Ridge Indians. There is romantic story
in connection with the marriage. Jordan
comes from an excellent family. He has
two brothers distinguished il army cir
Giles. His parents still live in Chicago
and move in the best circles of the Gar
den City. @. r. Jordan went to Dakota
when young man and accepted q gov
ernment position. 1t was but few
months later that he met his wife. She
was then a Young girl Jordan rescued
her from drowning and they soon be-
came lovers. The girl was by birth
princess of the Sioux natior, and the
wedding was celebrated with great eclat.
Jordan is still a young man, but he ia
quite we lthy. He owns large catSle
ranch near Rosebud and has hundreds of
acres of land. He accompanied Red
Cloud upon his trip to Washington last
spring and acted as interpreter in deal
ing with the government officials. The
old chief and his nephew by marriage
were received with much favor upon their
eastern trip.

A BRAVE CONFEDERATE.
How He Kept his Word at the Risk of His
life


How He Kept his Word at the Risk of His
Lieutensnt @. A. Coryell, formerly of the
Doe Hundred and Forty first New York
Volunteers, TweDtieth Army Corps, was
the sea, says the Atlanta Constitution.
One bright Sunday in December, 1864
the lieutenant was detailed TO take charge
of the picket line in front of Savannah,
on the edge of a rice swamp. There was
truce between the pickets aud every
thing wore q Sabbath like stillness.
Coryell had nothing to do and was out
of tobacco. Hog to get chew was the
question. Finally handsome young Off
Ger from the Coryell hailed him at ouce:

"Come along. I'll treat you light"

cided 10 make the venture. He laid aside
his sword and belt and started across the
high and marrow dixie leading to the con-
tederate line. On either side of the
dixie the water in the rice fields was five
feet deep.
The lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings. The con
federate produced some tobacco, and a
trade was made in no time. Then the
two fell into a pleasant conversation.
Suddenly Coryell saw a signal futter
from a house some distance in the rear
of the confederate line.
"What does that meanf" he asked ed
sharply.
81 don't know" replied the conf
crate.
Just then an orderly dashed up on
horseback and IT'D diginfed salute, said
to the confederate officer:
Lieutenant, the General orders you
to take the Yankee officer to headquar-
ters."
Coryell was dumbfounded. Then he
look cd at the confederate lieutenant and
noted his honest eyes and his manly face.

The confederate extended his right

go TO your lines. ! will follow you over
the dixie, and if my body can shield you
from con tederate lead you shall reach your
command in safety. Good-by and God
bless you."
The federal started on his return trip.
He was half way across when the first shot
came. There was another and another,
until whole brigade seemed to be firing
at him.
The fugitive walked rapidly onward
until he reached the federal lines aud
vaulted over the breastwork. Then he
looked back and saw his protector stand
ing on the dixie. The confederate waved
his hand, turned about aud marched
back to his own side. He had kept his
promise like true soldier.

The Young Doctors Female Accomplish
Medical Visitor,
A certain man, who was lately ned,
dwelt in toe country, far from the noise
Of any town. II CHANGED one night that

The Califol MIA prison system contrib
utes the idea of diet as means of disci-
mine, and has put the plan into practical
operation with results that are said to be
hishly gratifying. At Folsom, in that
STATE, is a prison managed on system
which, according TO Published reports, Is
both human and effective. One of the
officials of the institution is reported a.
stating when new prisoner arrives he Ia
informed that he has the choice of three
bills of fares The first table is provided
with a variety OF excellent and palstable
food; the second with articles OF coarser
grade, but sill wholesome; while on the
third is grim array of chunks OF bread
and cups OF cold water. The pri-1uer Is
lmmt distely put on his good oohau or
ana is ted according TO his worA. The
hope of reward Is thus held out TO
accom- plush wonderful results in stimulst
ing industry, orderly conduct and OBJ
servance OF the rules. There are no dun
gems. dark cells, shower baths, tumb
springs or any mode OF corporal punish
meut. sYou can have no idea says the
* official, "how hard the convicts try to
enter the 6rst class, and once there its
very seId, m chat one of them has to be
sent back o lowsr class, thcs gong to
prove the trath of the old theory that men
are most easily reached through their
stomach"
This valuable testimony shows that
the com orts of life are good cIvilizsrs.
There is no doubt that food which ia whole
some and agreeable to the taste is pro-
moter of healthfut moral conditions.

of pu ,ishment. There has been, in the
past years, too much brutality aud too
little brainwork in the management of
prisons. Las-breakers should be made
better by their inearcera,ions, and not
be turned loose with all capacity fo- self
Improvement extinguished. Prisons
should by no means be turned into palace
hotels, bat tse reformstory idea should
prevail in them TO the utmost possible
extent. There ia an awakening on this
subject which is hopeful Sign for the
welfare of society. 1t is by no means Ger
tain that the California idea will not prove
a powerful factor in solving tie problem
of wise, humane and effective prison

Thomas Corwin, Tom Corwin he was
almost always called, was famous for his
power of qGick repartee. He was witty,
and his wit was always at his tongues
end. "There goes some of your constitu-
ents, Corwin," said John @. Calhoun,
pointing to a drove of Ohio mules.
Yes" said Corwin, grayelA, "they are

In tbs course of his speech the Governor

"Well, gentlemen" he said, "you have

Warren X. Mooreheed hes been opening

bones of panther of UNUSUAL sizs.
Though it is oeTraia that this inuerment
was com plimeutary to the dead, there was
nothing 10 show whether the gentleman
had killed the tiger or the tiger mad slain
the gentleman. Another mound over
looking the SciOto yielded htteeu skele
tons, OF which two are very large, ard
from the nature of the bones must have
belonged TO very powerful men. These
were provided with copper and shell
necklaces, arrows of which fine Fl INT heads
remain, large war hatchets of stone with
very sharp edges, and pipes carved out Of
ssentIte. One had pair of tablets or
breast ornaments carved ont of striped
slate, but without jnsori ption, On the
hand of child Of ten were two copper
rings. Most Of the skulls found are very
thick, with rather low foreheads 1t ia
very ditiisult to guess the age of these

ancient the practice of burying in
mounds was kept up 10 within a century
