sHvERALrY ALLOTMENT.

Congress has, more than one year ago
enacted q severalty law for the benefit oil
indians on reservations. 1t was reported
to "a that steps would be soon taken by
the government to induce the Indians
upon the Neg Perez reservation to com.
ply with the terms Of this law and that
. commissioner woold soon be appointed
20 visit these Indians ard confer with
them upon the question. But no such
commission as We can learn has ever
been appointed and commissioned and
sent out here for that purpose, and we
cannot learn that any steps have been
taken to further the objects Of this law
than existed at the time Of its passage,
and so far as any practical benefit re-
sulting to either Indians or whites, We
cannot perceive that any good has
resulted. We are told that something
y going to be done right away. So it
has been said for months and months
past, but We see no movement by surveys
Of the land or . councilling Of the
Indians in any way, and 60 far as the
law Is concerned it seems to be dead
letter upon the statute books. We
know not Of any Indian council where
tho provisions Of the law have been in.
terpreted or explained 10 the Indians.
A but comparatively few Of the adult
Nes Percs can read English, it is not to
BE- presumed that one in fifty Of these
Indians know what is provided 10 the
law, and they would not know what their
rights and duties were under the law.
Somebody il negligent. 1t could not be
expected that the indians themselves
would move in this matter the same as
intelligent white men, were they in the
same Or similar situation. Our citizens
generally would do what they could 70
encourage the Indians to comply with
tho terms Of the law and reap the ad-
vantages Of the scveralty system. II is
hoped and expected that the agent
Recently appointed will be instructed to
dc what be can to awaken an interest in
this question, and that ! commission will
soon be here to assist in this matter. We
understand that pending his application

TERRITORIAL GRAND JURY RE

judicial District of Idaho Terri
| tory:
We the grand jury duly empanslled
for the April term, 1889, of said distric,
court, do hereby most respectfully sub
nit the following report Of our proceed
ings for that term:
We have been in session two days and
have examined into three criminal
charges, in two OF which the parties ex-
amined were under bail.
Alter careful! examination into all the
facts and circumstances connected With
each of these cases, we have concluded
that the facts in each case have failed to
show that any public o1ense had been
committed and were insufficient to sup
port an indictment, and We have there.
fore, in each case, reported not true
bill.
We have examined into the county
buildings and find that the old court
house, which has been abandoned by all
officials except the auditor and recorder
and probate judge, is not any safer than
it has been in the past and has not
added to its beauty BY its partial aban-
Comment.
That the court room and such Offices
as are in the rented building are con-
venient and suitable.
That We find the county jail kept in
a. good condition as the circumstances
will permit.
That the new court house is in process
OF construction and that same will be
finished BY the fall term.
That the grand jury find the amount
Of sl4,774 II on hand, as reported BY
the auditor, to correspond with that
reported BY the county treasurer.
That We visited all the officials and
lind oil books and records kept in a
correct and business like manner,
We herewith thank the attorney and
officers for their kind attention while
attending US in discharge OF our duties
and having no further business before
Us We would respectfully ask to be dis.

shapeiy branches stretched above them.

the young life out of winged insect whose at
tentions had bored him considerably, II saw q

your breath when a mosquito is biting you 1t

Horrors" exclaimed the gentle girl, as she
shuddered and drew her feecy wrap closer
about her lovely form. 1.-THE idea, George, Of
letting mosquito sting you long enough to
find out such thing / could never endure
it,"
And that reminds me-" continued George,

His Wife Ran OF With His Nephew

A Saratoga special to the New York Sun
says: Geo. Brayman, night employe of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad company, and
about forty years of age, has handsome wife
somewhat younger and four children OF whom
she is the mother. He has also a nephew.
Chas. Brayman, between whom and his wife
grew up an intimacy which completely de-
stroyed Uncle Georges peace of mind, and
caused him a great deal of trouble. Many
times his worst fears of his wife's infidelity
bad been aroused and speciousy allayed,
but last Saturday his suspicious were con-
frmed. Instead of killing his wife and his
nephew, which is the usual way III such cases,
he resolved to kill himself. With this purpose
III view he bought an ounce of arsenic Ito kill
rats" Then going to his home he deliberately
put teaspoonful of the poison in his mouth
washed it down with glass of water, and laid
himself down on the floor to die. When dis
covered he was unconscious. Doctors were
called who, after two hours of effort, saved his
life. Brayman was then arrested for violation
of section 174 of the penal code in trying to
commit suicide and held to bail in S20O. He
now says he is willing to forgive his wife if she
will come home and promise to be faithful to
him III the future, which she refuses to do, de-
claring that she won't live with man who is
such big fool as to try to kill himself for such
q small matter"

GEN. GORDON'S SPEECH.
His Laudation Of the Confederate Vet
erans' Association.

In his address to the United veterans con-
federate association on the occasion of his 90
cepting the command, at Atlanta, Ga, Gen.
John B. Gordon alluded to the objects Of the
organization, namely, to establish social, lit
erary and benevolent ties among those who
had shared dangers and sacrifices, no political
or religious questions being permitted to enter.
1t was ennobling for a people, continued the
general, 10 cherish the memory Of its heroic
past, whether crowned with success or conse-
Grated with defeat. The republic has no class
Of defenders more true and devoted than the
ex-soldiers of the south and their worthy de-
scendants. Whether or not the southern peo-
pie may ever hope to witness another realiza-
ton, which shall be that which began with
their Washington and ended with their Lee, it
is certain that devotion to their glorious past
is the surest guarantee of unity and strongest
claim they can present to the confidence and
respect of other sections. The organization
will transmute the past glories of the dead con-
federacy into inspirations for future service to
the living republic. 1t will gather as wit
nesses for history the facts which shall doom
fasehood to die that truth may live. 1t will
cultivate national as we'll as southern fraternity.
1t will spread the sentiment which would write
on the grave OF every soldier on either side:
Here lies q hero-a martyr to the right as his
conscience conceived it p"

A Remedy for Insomnia.

A writer in the st. Louis Globe Democrat
says: The abuse Of the eye is the crime of the
age. am prepared to demonstrate that at
least nine-tenths Of the prevailing SLEEP less
ness of which we hear SO much is due to nerv-
business directly traceable to the optic nerve
We are wearing our eyes out over books and
desks and types, and the effect shows itself not
only in the appearance Of the organ itself but
have discovered a remedy for sleeplessness,
and for the reason / have never known it
to fail am fortified in my opinion that the
whole trouble arises from the overstrain of the
eyes. Take a soft cloth-say piece Of mapped
towei-and fold in it two small pieces Of ice at
a distance apart to exactly cover the eyes when
the cloth is laid across them. Then lie down,
adjust the cloth with the ic, over the closed
eyes and you will be asleep in q very short
while.

Another Cronin Witness Assaulted.

Chicago special to the New York World
says that another witness for the people in the
Cronin murder conspiracy has been assaulted.
Patrick Dinan the hveryman, is the owner of
the famous white horse and buggy which were
hired ON the night of May 4 to drive DIR. Croniu
to the scene OF his murder at the Carlson cot
tage. The unprovoked assault took place Mon
day morning at the corner Of Chicago avenue
and Clark street. A beer wagon driver was
crossing the cables tracks when o grip car
struck the horses, knocking them down.
Liyeryman Dinan ran to the assistance of
the teamster and was struck savage
blow on the side Of the head by the gripman.
The blow split Dinan's ear and partly stunned
him. big crowd gathered and threatened to
thrash the car-driver, but they were restrained
by the police. Dinan called upon the officers
to arrest his assailant, but they would not
make n move toward doing their duty. The
gripman jumped on his car and left the scene.
Dlnan entered the Chicago avenue station to
which Dan Coughlin was attached and swore
out a warrant for his assailant's arrest, besides
complaining to Capt Schuetler of the police
mems wilful neglect of duty. The gripman is
believed to be friend and sympathizer of the
Cronin defendants, who took this opportunity
OF intimidating the witness against Detective
Coughlin.
