STANDING Rock AGENCY, N. D., July
29-The scene at Standing Rock this
morning was inspiring Six thousand
Indians were present awaiting the signal
OF the commission to open the council,
and the numerous whites who are anxi-
Gus to have the reservation opened to
settlement were lobbying with the war
riors, but apparently without effect
The commission met at IL O'Clock this
forenoon, at which time the Indians
were asked if they had examined the
treaty and were prepared to SAY any
thing on the subject John Grass, who
spokesman, arose and said that they
had compared the present proposed
treaty with that submitted last year
| and as for himself he could not see any
thing in it that was wanted OF that
would in any way benefit him and he
would not sign. He said that he under
stood the bill well enough to know that
it was not what the Indians wanted and
| declared that it was only those who
knew nothing OF its details that would
sign it. There were many things that he
was not pleased with and con
corning which he would like to ask
know why it was that the Santees were
not excluded from the benefits OF this
| bill, Ae also wanted to know why she
$4,000 expenses OF the commission
should be taken from the proceeds OF the
sale of the lands, and whether or not the
provisions OF the treaties of 1865 and
1876, with reference to schooling of the
Indian children, were still to be carried
out. The queries OF Grass
STUNNED THE COMMISSION
the moment, but Maj. Warner made
a very effective speech in reply. He
said that under the treaties CT 1868 the
Santees originally had n sharet in this
| reservation common with all tohe Sioux
nation, but We're n~fterw>->S.s removed to
Nebraska. He told men that the Chains
OF the Santees wer4j just and right. They
were SO small, however, that they die
not deserve serious consideration a
their hands. He also informed then
that the expenses OF the commission
would rot be taken from the proceed
OF the sale Of the land, and promised
them, that the provisions Of the treatie
5 OF lS"e and 1876 were still be carried
t out. regardless OF the present treaty, an
fu-ther, that tllcif Lotions and clothin
p;apply would be continued as now rt

among the bitter opponents OF the
measure are Gall, John Grass, Rain-in-
the-face and Sitting Bull. John Grass is
quite q talker and likes to air his ability
in that direction as well as any
political stumper. He tells
his people that they must stand together
or all their land will be gone and they
will have no where On earth to live.
Those unacquainted with Indian charac-
ter and the history of this commission,
would naturally infer from such a state
OF things that very little could be done
with such fellows. But there was quite
as determined opposition at Cheyenne
agency. and threats OF violence to any
who dared to sign the treaty were open
ly made. The commissioners were firm
and patient and o nearly every sig
nature has been obtained and the prob
abilities are now that all will be secured.

chief OF police, and declared that he, nor
none OF his followers should touch the

names. While the people here would
feel a great deal better were the oppo.
sition at Standing Rock a little less un'
animous, yet the situation is not with
out hopeful features. 1t is reported
that the young Indians who have beer
taught by catholic missionaries and are
under their influence, are in favor OF tho
treaty and will sign. These are quite
numerous and should they prove
unanimous in it's favor their names vii
go a long way toward being enough, ane
besides if they sign there will soon b.
a break III the ranks OF the old fellows
OF one thing all may rest assured, tn
commissioners are doing their best TO
success and General Crook knows wha'
to do as well as any mar on earth. i
may require some outside influence ant
help at the close to get names enough, j
so it will be furnished promptly and W
think the reservation will be opened I'm
der the present treaty.

About Coffee.

The pleasures of coffeea are by no means
dissipated in the warm weather, when
hot coffee" is not needed as means of
defying the discomfort of cold weather
Cold coffee is delicious beverage when
well made. Coffee ice made of strong
coffee frozen in freezer, and served in
cups with whipped cream, is dainty
dessert OF a convenient part Of the after
noon tea menu: coffee soda is peculiar
summer drink, and few people accus-
toned to the morning cup OF coffee
make any difference on account of the
weather in this most important feature
of the breakfast table. An expert in
coffee maintains that the best coffee i,
made in the old fashioned tin coffee pot
Don't give me any new patent arrange
ment for making Coffee" he says; "the
old tin pot is the only kind of cooking
utensil that preserves the aroma and the
full flavor of the coffee"
After the coffee has been boiled and
settled pour it in good strength upon a
cup half filled with cream and hot milk.
Most true coffee epicures have bever-
age prepared with full strength that will
give delicious aroma and true but
delicate flavor to cup Of rich cream
and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the
average American drinks about the same
amount of coffee now that he did eigh
teen years ago. In 1870 the average
consumption for each person was sever
and one-half pounds, in 1888 it was sever
and two-thirds pounds, showing that thu
taste for coffee neither increases nor de
creases. Boston Journal.

Childrcn's Dress.

Some mothers affect very odd styles in
dressing their babies and little children,
and they look quaint and bear with them
sweetness and fragrance like that from
old time linen dresses. saw little
girl of about years old yesterday in the
horse car. She had little short wasted
dress Of white nainsook, with sash
drawn up just under her arms. The
skirt had three quite deep tucks, and ii
reached her ankles. She had on midgets
of slippers with silver buckles. The
sleeves were short and left the white little
dimpled elbows bare, and she wore 9
cunning little close cap of muslin.
| The whole outfit could not have cost
three dollars, but there wasn't person,
not even excepting grumpy looking
old man, who didn't smile at that pre-
cious little baby sitting there SO demurely
and sweetly innocent of her own quaint
| beauty.
1t doesn't require velvets and silks to
make childhood lovely. Dress your little
ones comfortably and simply, but keel
them clean and neat and healthy, and
am happy to say that it is the fashion
now to do just these things. Fashion

A Brave Pilot.

One of the many interesting legends
which are connected with the different
parts Of Mt. Desert Island is the story Of
the battle Of Norwood's Cove. In the war
of 1919, two British frigates, the Dolphin
and the Tenedos, chased an American
schooner into Southwest Harbor. Not
being acquainted with the waters, the
frigates dared not follow, but anchored
Just outside of Greening's Island. while
the schooner sought refuge in Norwood's
Cove, behind the forest crowned ridge
The British dispatched two barges with
nearly one hundred men to capture the
schooner, compelling an American sea-
man to act as pilot. Meantime large
band Of fishermen and farmers had So
GREETED themselves in the woods on the
southern shore. When the barges had
approached within musket shot, the pilot
sprang to his feet, shouting, "Give 1t to
'em, boys; don't mind mel" upon which
the Americans opened mmderous fire,
which soon compelled the British to re-
treat with the loss of almost the entire
crew of one Of the barges.-Lewiston
Journal.
