the Cheyenne Agency last Saturday
and commenced proceedings at once
by reading the bill to the Indians, and
explaining to them its important
points, and then the Indians took till
Monday morning to think the matter
over. On Monday morning the coun-
Gil again convened and Gov Foster
talked TO the Indians on parts of the
bill which they did not understand. 1t
was then supposed they would be rea-
dy to begin their talking; but not so.
One of the chiefs got up and said ave
want ten beeves and more time" Both
requests were granted and the council
adjourned till Tuesday morning, but
when that time come the noble red
men were still dlatory andasked for
and received more time. In the mean
while they were holding big councils
among themselves and it was rumored
that at these meetings three -fourths
were inclined to favor the bill but
were deferred and intimidated by the
Cherry Creek Sioux, the hostile tribe
of the nation. On Monday morning
this tribe came running down to the
council, whooping, yelling and swinging
their war clubs. On Wednesday morn
the Indians cOngregated and after hav-
ing heard the part of the bill relating
to taking land IN severalty explained
they begun making their speeches to
the commission. The speakers num-
bered Il and represented the different
tribes. Among the leading orators
were White Swan, Little No Heart.
Charger, Hump, Swift Bird and others.
All of Wednesday was taken up in
talk the general drift of which was
that Congress is composed of set of
knaves and liars, that every treaty
made with the Indians had been bro
ken, that their land was gradually get
ding smaller, that the white soldiers
are fed better and are fatter than IN.
Indians, that they do not think that
they will sign.
The Commission consists or ca,
Crook Gov Foster and Mai Worner
and while not meaning to dis,arooe
tho latter two il goes without sor;ro
that Cen Crook haipg mauhor 80
suras the commission snccass He hos
urohablv had mora daoIing, with ,ho
Indians than any ono .Isa IN ,ho .ror
ernment service and has never vo,
failed to carry out with them any
thing which he has undertaken. He
gives it as his opinion chat the requIs,
it number of signers will be obtained
and that the reservation will be opened
soon. His co-workers, Foster and
warner are men OF national repute,
and to hear them talk to the Indians
a person would think they had followed
that business all their lives. 1t is
thought that White Swan, Charger.
and few ofthe other prominent chiefs
are IN favor of the bill, but whether
they are is matter that time alone
will decide, yet we hope in our next
issue TO be able to announce to our
readers that the work of the Commits
sion has been a success at this agency

Some Sensible statensnts.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 read in your issue to-day of the bicycle nuisance. I will admit that it is something of nuisance, but what is that compared to meeting seven or eight boys on every street you drive on (excepting few of the central principal streets} playing base ball and just as you turn the corner have 8 ball knocked into your carriage and through the glass or back curtain. If you are born under a lucky star it will pass between your wife and chill dren and hit your horse in the side or leave blemish on the pannel of your carriage, which you have just taken out of the paint shop. Now, drive as spirited animals as any man in the city, but my horses have never been frightened by a bicycle. Bat I have paid out good many dollars caused by base ball playing In the streets. Then again, you meet at every corner the street gangs with ball and bat, and you are obliged to pull your horses upon their launches to avoid running over them, and if you stop within ten feet of one of these street mines and he should happen to look around and fall down in his tracks and tear the knee of his pants, you are fined and have got to set- tie, for the statute says he has as much right to the road as you. We have parks and they are kept up by the taxpayers. Why don't our efficient police look after this mat ter, WHICH COHhiQ6T mOr6 OsHS6TOuS to il1e and property than the bicycle, for the bi- cycle rider will endeavor to get out of your way, whereas the street urchins won't move a step. And allow me to say no horse that is afraid of a bicycle is safe to be driven on the public streets, for it plainly shows he has never been thoroughly broken, and the owner of such animals should place their steeds under the handling of some eompe- tent horseman. I own no bicycle nor never have, but consider the base ball by far the most dangerous aMd greater nuisance of the two evils. Yours truly, J. o. B.
 P. S.-If was sure of space in your most valuable paper, of which am and have been for years constant reader, I could explain to you and your readers the many injuries which a spirited animal can and does receive every time he is pulled up suddenly, such as slipping the whirl bone and stifel joint; and no better way is offered, I am told on good authority, for the starting of spavin, etc., than by the sudden way of bringing your horse to stand to save some street urchin with ball and bat.

A Pretty Girls Unfortunate MIshap
 KI,o G,,p

Miss Grace Evans, beautiful lady of pleasing address, came here recently from
 Rockford, H., to visit friends on Cass ave- nue.
 Last Thursday afternoon party of ladies visited the Princess rink to see the buffaloes and Dr. Carver. Miss Evans was among them.
 The young lady particularly admired the
 seal COW, and taking off her glove she fed it
 carrots until she grew tired of the pastime.
 She then resumed her glove, but not before Dr. Carver had noticed handsome diamond ring on her finger. The seal COW, which is quite tame, wanted more carrots, and the young lady reached it another piece in her gloved hand.
 She laughed heartily when the buffalo COW wrapped her long tongue around the glove and swallowed it with the carrot. But the next moment her laughter was changed to
 tears, as she missed a $500 diamond ring from her finger.
 The seal COW had swallowed it with the
 glove, and the girl from the anarchy State wept as if her heart would break. Dr. Carver offered her the diamond ring be
 wore himself, or another as good the one the COW had swallowed, but she insisted that
 no other ring could be as valuable or take the
 place of the one lost, and the supposition is that it was a gage diamond.

stthat they sit very easie under Mir. Wet mores ministry and doe desire his further continuance among them" They also at this meeting voted to give him two pence on the pound as his yearly salary.
 It would seem as if the latter inducement was hardly satisfactory to their reverend leader, for in November-three months later-they made an additional proposition to him which was accepted. "Agreed on by ye society to give to MT. Wetmore ye sum of one hundred and fifty pounds in money or in grain, to be paid to him as he receives his salary, to be paid to him in order to his aet- clement amongst them, to be paid to him within the space of three years; ye first 50 pounds to be paid at or be- fore ye IA day of June, 1718-ye second 50 pounds to be paid ye 15 day of June, 1719- ye third 50 pounds to be paid to him at or before ye 15 day of June, 1720." This 150e was "settlement money" a sum entirely out side of the yearly salary of sixty pounds. Two weeks later they further promised that when their new meeting house was completed and the 1509 paid, which they supposed would be within five years, they would raise their minister's stipend to S0e yearly, and they ''agrsed on alsoe that MT. Wetmors shall have his frewood of them soc long as he shall continue in ye work of ye ministry amongst them." Nathaniel Thorp, ST., was employed ''for one pound for year to beat ye drum on ye Sabbath days" Thus piece by piece did they provide their ecclesiastical machinery, till all was in complete order, waiting the time when their building should be ready for occupation.

SHOT F0R A BURGLAR.
City Editor Smith of she Springfield Republican Shot and Killed In- stantlY.

City Editor Smith of the Springfield Republican Shot and Killed In-
 stantly.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 13.-James B. Smith, local editor of the Republican, was shot and instantly killed this morning by his brother-in law, who mistook him for a bur glar. In the absence of MT. Smiths father in-law, Warren F. Sturtevant, who is at the Rangley Lakes on fishing trip, MT. Smith, his wife and infant daughter were spending a few days in Mr. Smiths old home.
 Early this morning burglars entered MT Sturtevant's house and young Sturtevant was aroused from sound sleep by the servants, who had been awakened by the noise made by the burglars. He looked out of the win- dow and saw a man in the yard, and seizing his gun went into the hall. In the meantime Mir. and Mrs. Smith were aroused and had stepped out of their room into the hall. Young Sturtevant not knowing that his brother-in-law was in the house, and suppos- ing himself the only man there was in the place, at once fired.
 Mr. Smith fell dead by the side of his wife Mir. Smith had slept in his own house until last night on account ot the lateness of his hours, but he was off duty last night, though his brothsr-in-law did not know it. MT. Smith was the only son of Herman Smith, a we'll known local civil engineer, and gradu- ated at Harvard in 1883, since when he had been employed on the Republican. He was a member of Trinity Methodist church, and was young man of good ability and high character.

Sam BryaMI'S Crack Three Year old
 Out For the Clark Stakes.
 LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 15.-Proctor Knott, the pride of Kentucky, will surely face the starter as a contestant for the great Clark stake to be run here to morrow. His defeat in the Derby by Spokane was bitter blow to those admirers of Sam Bryant's crack three year old who backed their opinion with green backs.
 great many veteran turfmen agree and. justly, too-that Proctor Knott could not have lost the race had little Shelby Barnes been strong enough to keep him from swerving. He is heavy headed horse, and 8 light boy has no business trying to keep him steady.
 Tomorrow, however, it is said, Isaaoh Murphy will endesvor to pilot the son of Luke Blackburn and Tsllspoosa to victory, and there is but little doubt that the Futuri- ty winner will regain his lost prestige and prove to the satisfaction of the entire racing world that he is still the greatest three year old extant.

over Half n MilIion Dollars Awarded.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The United States supreme court to-day in an opinion by Jus tice Bradley, awarded the executors of the will of Myra Clark Gaines the sum of S576,- 900 against the City of New Orleans for the use of property sold by the city, but recov- cred by Mrs. Gaines after long litigation. This case probably has been the most inter- esting, the hardest contested, and the most prolonged known to the judicial history of the country. The case had then been before the supreme court five times in one form or another and has now been decided as many times again. The present case, it is general ly conceded, exhausts all the resources of the law and is regarded as final. Mrs. Gaines fighting to tho very last for her rights, is dead, and 30 it is believed are all her intimate relatives except her daughter-in-law, Hattie L. Whitney, in whose name as administratrix of the estate of Ars. Gaines the case stands on the court docket.

 "During my long residence in Canada l suffered for years from severe pains in my back across the region of the kidneys, and by the constant use of Allcock's Plasters in- variably obtained great relief. Upon remov- ing to St. Louis I was again troubled with the same complaint, and was advised to use Magnetic and other plasters, without being relieved of pain, 50 fell back to my old friend Allcock, who gives me more relief than any any other have ever tried. I always recom- mend them to my friends and all who suffer from pains and aches of any kind"
