Mutton, as an article of food, is whole

mutton only should be used, and care
should be observed that the young ladies

How to Mail Flower Buds.

To mail flower buds, cut potato into
two pieces and bore holes into them, and
insert the stems of the buds with cotton
to support them. There is sufficient
moisture in a good.sized potato to sup
port flower for two weeks in a moder-
ately cool temperature. Flowers from
bouquets or baskets may be preserved in
ths same way. The potatoes can be hid
den by leaves OF moss,-Bostop Cultirator.

A fractional Fight in
Sioux County.

OELRrcns, Neb., June i9.-TSpecial TO THE
BEE. For several days there has been con-
siderable agitation here in regard to the In
dians. Nearly all the people adjoining the
reservation in the vicinity of Chadron and at
this place have moved into town for safety.
The alarm seemed TO have started from the
fact that the Indians Of Pine Ridge agency
met one day recently for the purpose of hold
ing their annual dance or reunion, which has
been a regular custom among the tribes.
Last week about two thousand Indians con-
gregated on White Clay creek. twenty miles
east of this town. and devoted the first day TO
horse racing and the second TO the Qma
dance, their favorite pastimes, but all dis
banded on the evening Of the second day.
During this dance the report went out that
the Indians were holding their war dances
and making preparations for raid on the
whites, which spread until some of the ''old-
timers even got alarmed and left their farms
for town.
On ascertaining the true condition Of
things all seemed TO be quiet. The Indians had
no idea whatever of making trouble. Many
of them were scattered about the country
busily engaged in digging tapses Indian tuT-
nips) for their food supply. The Indians of
this region seem to be content with few
exceptions
. They complain of having a shortage in
their supplies, and they lay it largely TO the
management of the agent. Many of them
have but few provisions on hand, and the
pOStponement of issue day to July will cause
many to see hard times

In THE SACRED LODGE ROOM.
The Southern Jurisdiction Declared the
Legitimate Scottish Rite Body.
MERGERS FAMOUS EDlCT SUSTAINED,
A Resolution to This Effect Carries
After Long and Heated Dis
cussion-The Election
of Officers.

The grand lodge met at o'clock yesterday
morning. The hall was completely filed, a
large numbcrof delegates having arrived onthe
early trains. The gallery, also, was filed with
visitors.
The first business was the introduction of
resolution endorsing the action of the grand
master in issuing his famous edict No /, in
which he declared the southern jurisdiction
the only legitimate Scottish rite body; and
also, in taking up the charter of Nebraska
lodge No. and suspendiug its officers.
This resolution drew forth a long and
heated debate on the Scottish rite question
and the position to be taken by the grand
lodge with regard TO It,
Several prominent Masons and past-grand
masters took the stand that the question had
no place in the grand lodge and should not be
allowed there.
The contrary view was taken by adherents
of the Pike faction
A substitute was offered in which the ac-
ton of the grand master, in taking up the
charter of No. | and Suspcnding its officers,
was endorsed, leaving out all reference to
the edict. This was discussed briefly and
when brought to n vote was lost.
The grand lodge then adjourned until 9
O'Clock to attend the laying of the corner
stone of the city hall.
After returning from the laying of the cor
ner stone the lodge proceeded at once to the
tion of the grand masterln declaring the Pike
body of the Scottish rite the only legitimate
body, and also in taking up the charter of the
Oldest lodge in the state because it questioned
|. his authority to do this.
The discussion this question was a
heated one, and was participated in by the
ableSt speakers in the state. Strong argu-
mcnts were made against allowing this for
eign element in the grand lodge to disturb the
peace and harmony of the proceedings The
debate lasted until after O'clock when vote
was taken und the resolution carried by large
majority.
The lodge then adjourned until 80 o'clock.
About o'clock the lodge reconvened and
after the transaction of some minor business
proceeded TO elect officers, with the following
result:
Robert f.. French of Kearney, grand mas
ter; Bradncr d. Slaughter of Fullerton,
deputy grand master; Samuel =, Davidson of
Tccumseh, grand senior warden; Lewis A.
Kent of Minden grand junior warden; Chris
Hartman of Omaha, grand treasurer; w. Il.
