substantially, all the news this week has been
favorable to business prospects. The official
crop report was not only an assurance of large
yield but evidence that the reported injuries to

with an eye to probable commercial
demands in the near future, that
brokers are circulating the rumor that
money does not appear to be obtainable at bet

some monetary pressure this fall unless tho
Treasury succeeds in disbur sing freely. The
great industries are on the whole, in better
shape, though some signs of danger are dis
coverable. The great strike at tie Carnegie
mills, accompanied with violence at the outset,
may lead to rather extended disturbance OF the
industry. Wool is unchanged in price ut

Chamberlain Oak letter In the
Omaha Bee: Tho Sioux Indians, as
looked at from the Eastern view, are a
race that is greatly abused by the
Government, but from the view taken
by the Western people, who have had
chance to study their ways and
habits, the only good Indian is the
dead one. At the Lower Brule agency
there are about /, 200 Indians supported
in idleness by the Government, costing
annually $15O,000. The great reser-
walton contains $4,000, 600 acres of fine
farming and grazing lands, and an
area nearly as large as the State Of
New York, and five times Us great as
Massachusetts,, inhabited by about 3D.
900 Indians, or about as many people
as live in two tenement blocks in New
York City. These lands are not used
at oil by the Indians, as the Govern
ment furnishes them with provisions,
clothing, farm machinery (Which they
never use), cattle, horses, and harness,
and in fact almost everything In the
way of clothing the Government fur
nishes fine wooden blankets which cost
about 81. 90 apiece. As soon as the
noble red man gets his blanket he
crosses the river to Chamberlain and
sells il for from 70 cents 10 81. The
same is also the fact with clothing, the
most of the farmers dressing in wau-
kapomna, which is the Sioux for Gov
eminent goods.
Mai. Anderson, the agent at Grow
Creek, is of the opinion that the In
dams will never become civilized as
long as the Government supports them.
He is decidedly in favor of the Indians
taking their land in severalty, and for
the Government to furnish each family
with complete farm outfit, then tell
them that they must support them
selves, and he thinks that when they
see that the Government means bust
ness the Indian question will be set
tied
The Indian buck scorns work and
thinks that only the squaws are made
to work. A pretty good illustration of
this is told by one of the agency cffi-
Gals. / give it as it was told 10 me.
Last winter, as l was on my way to
Brule Bottom, I ran across team of
ponies trying to- pull large lun Der
wagon up the hill, but it was too heavy
for them, and the buck that was driv-
ing ordered his two squaws out to help
the ponies, but still they could not
make it. asked him why he did not
get out, and all the answer l got was a
grunt. Finally, taking pity on the
sQuaYs. Mho wara- almost. frazAr- L
added my muscle to that of the squaws
and ponies, and we finally got the
'Eoble red man and his wagon to the
top of the hill"
Another pretty good story is told by
q contractor, who had the contract to
build $50, 900 worth of houses for the
Indians. The houses were all built
but the Indians did move into them.
Instead, they moved their tepees or
tents next to the houses, and during
the winter they tore down and burned
up all the houses. This shows how
much the Indians appreciate what the
Government does for them. They
know that the Government will sup
port them, and as long as it does they
will be shiftless, lazy, and uncivil-
lied race

The recent death Of Gen. Harvey,
the oldest general in the United States
army, justifies the republication OF the
following good story about the old
hero. II occurred at Camp Verde,
Texas, where Harvey was in command
of the post:
He was an intensely dignified officer,
and il there was one thing he detested
more than another it was undignified
haste. One evening, just as he was
about TO hold dress parade, he per-
ceived that he had forgotten his hand
kerchief, and as the weather was very
hot, he said to his orderly: $50 to my
quarters quick and bring my handker-
chief" The orderly touched his cap
and started for the quarters, several
hundred yards distant. After he had
proceeded short distance, remember
ing that there was no time to lose, he
broke into trot.
"See that - scoundrel running as
if the Indians were after him. II there
is anything hate it is to sec soldier
running instead of marching properly.
Here, my man." continued Harvey to
another soldier, ego after that man and
tell him / say to walk, d--n him."
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first one kept on run
ming, the second one saw his only
chance to deliver the message was to
hurry up, SO he, too, broke into run.
To say that Harvey swore is to use but
mild expression.
"Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him II he doesn't stop running
I'll hang him up by the thumbs.
The sergeant started out in brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had good
start, he, too, began to run as hard as
he could.
eff all three of the scoundrels amt
running like jack rabbitsl" ejacu-
lated Harvey. "I'll show EN- And
tuclling his sword under his arm, he
started in pursuit as fast as he could
run, but suddenly remembering his
dignity he came to halt and walked
stifliy and slowly back to the place
where the dress parade was to come

What Has Been Done In the First six
Months of 1889.
The Rail,cdy Age reports from thirty-one
States and Territories for the past six
months show that the aggregate OF new
railway construction is 1922 miles. distrib-
uted over 1913 different lines. or this
amount more than half Is credited TO ten
Southern Statos. An immense amount
Of now railway mileage has been
planned and only awaits more
favorable opportunity for raising the
necessary money. Much more would be
built this year than is now possible but for
the alarm which was raised in financial
circles lest railway building should be over
done, and which caused reaction that is
now delaying the completion OF many
meritorious and needed enterprises. Tho
estimate Of new construction for the year
is put Mt $500 to 5000 miles. as against n
total Of 100 miles in 1888. Nearly all OF
tho construction of this season is in tho
form OF extensions OF old lines. which arc

Potatoes.

That the potato is the most popular
Of all the vegetables cannot be denied.
for there are few homes in our own
country in which it does not form an
important part in each days fare. In
deed, IN the majority of homes 1t SNkes
it's appearance at each meal, either
boiled, baked, or in some of the many
dishes in which it is the principal part.
No matter in what way it is cooked it
is generally welcome. AS to its health
full properties authorities disagree, but
where any harm has resulted from the
use of potatoes it can usually be traced
to the cooking OF them. A soggy,
watery potato is one of the most UNI
healthy things one can eat, yet this is
too often the kind that is generally put
on table. To be sure, the most i'm
rortant thing to consider is to have the
vegetable good, yet good cook may
render a very poor potato palatable,
while bad cook can render good one
positively UNBEATABLE.
There are few ways of cooking q po-
tato a. acceptable to q lover of this
vegetable as boiling, providing it is
done properly. 1t is a mistake made
by many women to cut off the ends or
dig ont the eyes. If nice, mealy
boiled potato is wanted, it can Dayc~c
be obtained if the skin is broken be-
fore boiling Always choose as good
potatoes as can be had, and wash in
several waters until perfectly clean,
but do not cut in any part unless there
is an appearance of lot, which ought
always be cut ont Have the potatoes
rs near one size as possible, put in
pot or saucepan, and cover them with
boiling water. Set on the stove and let
boil, but be careful that they do not
boil too fast, or they will break into
pieces before they are done. Before
setting on the stove, throw into the
water teaspoonful of salt Keep the
pot covered, while boiling, until the
potatoes are done, which will be from
twenty minutes to half an hour, &C
cordiug to their size. TO tell when
they are done, try with fork, and if
the fork goes through the thickest part
of one easily, they ale ready to be
taken from the stove. Remove the pot
from the stove and drain off all the
water, then set it on the back of the
stove with the cover partly off, so as to
let ont the steam, and shake it once or
twice so the potatoes may dry equally
on all sides. Serve as soon as posi-
bic, and if the potatoes are not mealy,
tho fault lies in themselves, and not in
the cooking Never cover potatoes
tightly after draining, without first
letting out the steam, or they will be
sure to he soggy and watery, no matter
how good vegetable they were previ-
Gus to boiling.
The above recipe is from an Irish
woman, consequently it is good, for no
matter how deficient she may be as to
the cooking of other articles of food,
she is always an expert at boiling po-

John F. Beggs is still in Jail in Chicago.
and there is n strong probability that he
will remain there until final judgment Is
rendered on the charge OF murder that
stands against his name. Judge Horton
denied Beggs' second petition for a writ Of

the indictment returned by the grand jury
was prima facie evidence OF guilt. He also
said he could not review tho action OF the
jury because its finding was based on tho
testimony OF sworn witnesses.
