ever is to blame for it is guilty Of
grevious sin. | learned at James,
town Of the great suffering among
the Indians and wrote to- Father
Stephan asking what could be done
about it. He in turn wrote to Mr..
Morrell of Philadelphia-Alr. Nor
rell is the husband of Miss Drexrell
who replied, instructing Father
Stephan to go to the Indians relief
at once and to spend all the money
necessary, Accordingly, Father
Stephan came to jamestown and on
February % we started for the Tur-
tie mountains. To get there we
went on the Manitoba railroad to
Church's Ferry and from there to
Rolla, a settlement in the noun
tains, whence we went by wagon to
the reservation. Never in my life
have | witnessed such a state of af-
fairs as existed among the Indians
there. There are 415 families, maxi
ing 1880 people in all, and Of these
only 500 had received any govern
ment ratlons for upwards of months.
The regular government rations con-
sist Of ten pounds Of -four and two
pounds Of fat pork to each family,
and given out as often as the agent
has it to give out. On account Of
this scarcity Of rations there were
many families who had not tasted
food for upwards Of six days and lay
about in their miserable huts dying
from starvation, In these huts, con-
sisting Of only one room, live as
many as five families all together in
one tumble Of squalid wretchedness.
We found in many huts children
stark naked and their mothers in al /.
most the same condition. They had
no clothes, no food, nothing. and
the pitable sight they presented l
shall never forget as long as live.
We found one old man lying on the
frozen mud floor dying from con-
sumption. Most Of the squaws
had no clothing on, save thin calico
dresses and ragged moccasins, and
all they could do was to sit COVER
ing over the fire and endeavor to
keep warm, while their children
scraped hot ashes from the fire on
to the floor and rolled about in them
in their endeavors to keep from
freezing.

He thinks well of the Gould accession to

Adams is q very able man that 81 iney
Dillon is q very much better man for
the Union Pacific presidency. He is also
hopeful of the change in public opinion
