SITTING BULL AND JOHN GRASS.
The Latter Is Recovering and the For.
mer Is Very Unhappy About 1t.

A Bismarck, N. D., special to the New York
Herald says: There was no truth in the report
that Sitting Bull had been arrested on sus-
picion Of having poisoned Chief John Grass.
Nevertheless there is no little suspicion and
distrust among the Indians. Grass was not
poisoned Agent Mclaughlin, who has just
returned from the bedside of Grass, states au-
thoritatively that Grass was overcome by the
heat. He is now resting we'll and in the opin-
ion of Agent Mclaughlin will recover.
The Indians adore Grass and since his pros
ration have given themselves up completely
to their superstitions. Many Of them were
only too willing to believe that be had been
poisoned at Sitting Bulls instigation, and, at
private councils held by the immediate friends
Of Grass, Sitting Bull was denounced in the
most savage terms.
Sitting Bull looks upon the illness Of his VIC
torious rival with calm indifference. but he
never tails to express his sincere regrets when
in the presence Of the friends Of Grass Dur
ing the past few days the Indians superstitions
have taken q new aud novel turn. Hundreds
Of them are now thoroughly convinced that
the illness of Grass is the Just re;ribution
visited upon them by the Great Spirit for bav-
ing signed the treaty ceding their lands to the
whites and are wondering il it il possible for
them to withdraw their signatures and undo
their evil work.

A Bet Regarding Watch Dials.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
There is good story out on A. Z. Hicks, the
bonny Scotch druggist OF South Town and one
OF the honorary members of the Woodpecker
club. Hicks enjoys joke on any one else ex-
ceedingly and takes in good part the occasional
turning OF the tables upon HIMSELF The other
day my friend Hicks was amusing himself by
asking all he met how the hour OF was indi-
Gated on their watch dials. Nearly every one
was willing to bet the cigars that the hour was
marked in Roman characters vi being the
most common claim. Others thought the fig
ure was the thing, while the point of the
joke, a. have once before explained, was that
the place where the o'clock mark should
occur Is covered in most watches by the second
hand dial and there are no characters what
ever for 8 o'clock. Hicks had sold nearly
everybody he knew in South Minneapolis and
was surrounded by dismal crowd when man
appeared, whom the little druggist took for
fresh prey. He was 20 confident that he

When this was settled the man pulled out an
old Waterbury watch on which vi was plainly
marked. After Hicks had emptied several
boxes OF choice cigars be discovered IL was =

Knights Templar oonclaye here next month
ana has elected from ex-Hepresentstive VIM
@. Maybury, Of Detroit eommandery, No. 1, an
original and valuable suggestion. In a letter
to Chairman Parker, dated August 2e, Mr.. May
bury says:
II am satisfied that no conclave WAS ever held
tn this country that will be productive OF 90
much pleasure 10 that OF the ensuing October.
inoeeo have been long satisfied that our en-
campment should always occur at the national
capital The only objection see 70 such an
order Is that II entails vast amount Of work
upon the local orders in preparing for the re-
cepuon Of pilgrims. This duty should DO made
a. !ight as possible to our Washington brethren
snd perhaps one step In the direction OF
making 1t 30 would be for the order ut large TO
erect magnificent temple, with Q capscious
armory and an audience hnr or asylum, un-
surpassed in magnifcence and beauty BY any
similar audience chamber In the world
with the place Of assomblage always pro-
vided wherein receptions would DO held with
every accessory to guarantee success and with
out expense the chief burden and anxiety
would be lifted from the shoulders OF tho local
Communicates Besides In such q temple
every visiting sir knight would foel ut home,
for it would be his Mecca and home, while the
dignity of the order In this grand Jurisdiction
and throughout the world would DO honorcd by
such movement"
Mr.. Maybury suggests that this matter DO
brought to the attention of the grand encamp-
ment. He says that he regrets not having q
seat in that body, as, being the arst 70 suggest
this plan Of erecting national temple IN this
city, he would like to advocate 10 before the
grand body. he hopes that Mr.. Parker will
take 1t upon himself to advocate this plan and
that the next triennial conclave win lay the
corner stone Of this proposed structure.
