Indians Oh the White Earth reservation,
accompanied. by G. FL. Beaulieu as in
terpre.er, called upon Gov. Merriam
last week to lay before that official
certain grievances of his people and to
gain information concerning the various

the annuities formerly paid to the MEM
beers Of his tribe have been stopped since
the contamination of the recent treaty
it is important that the money due them
under the severalty act be soon paid, as
many of them are in destitute circum-
stances. Although these matters are
not of n nature to be settled by the
governor, the chief was assured by him
that he would interest himself in be-

MANY A LIFE

LAS been saved by the prompt use of
IL Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
arrangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The pru-
dent sailing-master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
leave no ill effects they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated /; the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
"For eight years was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then began to take Ayers
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that

in a terrible state of excitement and are
liable to break out in rebellion over the

hung up in this manner, and hunters set
the forest on fire. The bodies, dried by
years of exposure, burned like tar bar

ion on Sioux Half Breed Scrip Cases.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-The long de-
layed decision in the Sioux half breed
scrip cases, involving ma1Iy exceedingly
valuable lands in Minnesota and other
points in the Northwest, is to be still
longer delayed. Secretary Noble will
give no decision until after another

arisen and which were not made clear
at the time of the hearing, almost a year
ago. The hearing will be had May 30.

with this scrip depends the ownership of
valuable property near Duluth, Devils
Lake, N. D., Glendive, Mont, and other
places in each of. these states. A large
part Of the town of Glendive was To-
Gated with this scrip. A decision in the
case has been expected daily for a long
time, but the order for rehearing will
postpone decision indefinitely.

Room, gentle flowers" the poet said,
Upturned the sod to hide his dead.
And whispered DER the narrow bed:
My child would pass to Heaven"
So may this sinless one, sweet child,
With face so fair, with mien so mild,
With garments pure and undefled,
Find room to pass to Heaven.
Through suffering, in her baby eyes
There came the light OF glad surprise,
She saw the gates of Paradise
Swung open wide for her.
she heard the song that seraphs sing,
beneath the sweep of AZrael's wing
She felt that death had lost its sting
The grave its victory"
Fond father, loose the little hand;
She needs not now thy low command
But angels in a brighter land
May guide where you cannot.
ON. mother, yours the latest kiss!
Bereft, you know what sorrow is
Ii noweth naught but painless bliss
And such is best for both.
Her lips are mute-her pulses stilled.
The life blood in her veins is chilled
Her mission here is quite fulfilled,
Her harp and crown are won!

L LAFOURCHE.

In the interesting articles written
for the SENTINEL by S. G. the writer
says "since bayou Lafourche is prac-
tically part of the Mississippi, it is
naturally governed by the same laws,
and any system of improvement adapt
ed to one is equally practicable on the
other"
Will not S. G.. explain how a jettv
system in Bayou Lafourche would
work practically as efficacious as it
does in the Mississippi riverP
1t seems that the system of contrac-
ton of the channel has just the oppo-
site effect to a similar contraction in
the main river. Bayou Lafourche, the
more that it is contracted, the more
trouble it gives; instead OF excava-
ting more channel capacity, it decreas-
es the size of the outflow.
If the same effect can be produced
in Bayou Lafourche that is obtained
in the Mississippi river by any system
whatever, will S. G. explain the man
ner in which it can be done?
