A Plan on Foot to Grab the Rich Lands of
the Southern Utes.
Miss NJ. Peabody, President of the Woman's
Indian Association, at its meeting yesterday
made 1attering report of the national con-
vention held in Boston recently.
A letter from one of the active agents of the
society in Colorado was read. 1t contained the
statement that strong effort will be made at
the present session OF Congress to pass bill
to effect the removal of the Southern Utes
from their rich lands in Colorado to wild and
mountainous country in Utah. This removal,
the letter represents, is dictated by number
of land grabbers whose fject is to possess
themselves of the rich lasd cultivated by the
Utes. The passage of this bill the letter says,
would make nugatorv the efforts made to civil
ize the Indians as a solution of the Indian
problem lies in the sanction of the Government
of the right OF possession to the Indians of the
land they have cultivated, and in which they
are interested. The latter advises the society
to correspond with Representative Hooker, of
Mississippi, who is humanitarian and
if requested would exert his infu-
ence to prevent the passage OF the bill.
The secretary was ordered to address MIR.
Hooker and the representatives in Congress
from Pennsylvania and other prominent men
o! the State to secure their aid to defeat the
bill II 1t is introduced.
a letter was read from Miss De knight, a
teacher of the Chiacco Indian school in the
Indian Territory This is Government school,
and has an attendance of over 600 Indian chill
dren who are taught maay of the useful trades
in connection with the school branches. A
more mmodiouS school is beng built there,
as the present one is too small. The letter gave
a charming picture of the lives of the little In
dians, their susceptibility to any act of kind
ness. and of the interest they manifested in The
observance of Thanksgiving Day and OF the
preparations they were making to celebrate
Christmas in royal manner as becomes loyal
little Christians.

His Winter Supply.

Agent Bergman, of the Humane Society,
yesterday went to a small town about two and
half miles from Ellsworth to investigate
case of cruely to animals that had been re-
ported to the society. The person charged with
cruelty was Pole named John Mungoski 1t
was alleged that he had turned horse loose to
starve to death.
Instead Of finding things as reported, Agent
bergman was somewhat surprised on reach
ing Mungoski's place to find him butchering
horse and laying up stock of meat for the
coming winter. Mungoski. when first questioned
IN regard to his reasons for killing the horse,
said that it had gotten its leg broken by fall
and instead of buryInc the animal he thought
ne could save money by dressing it and feeding
the remains to his dogs and chickens. Agent
bergman noticed that about half of the
animal was missing and after close question:
ing Mungoski admitted that he was preparing
the meat for his family.
Agent Bergman examined the contents OF
the horses stomach, which went to show that
it had not been starved as reported. Mungoski
had two or three other horses which were all in
excellent condition and showed no signs OF
cruel treatment

nected with the trial that the s-.slt would be
another secession from the church like tha: of
1885, and those who adhered to the ancient
order say that there is no help for 1t, as the ad
mission of the claims of the accused is total
disruption OF the church. That each side could
preserve such rigid indexibility and not get
into row was matter of wonder.
The session ended with a fervent prayer by
Prof. Wilson, In which he not only prayed for
guidance on the deliberations to come, but for
the newspaper men. and asked that their re-
ports of the proceedings might not tend to the
prejudice of the cause in which the hopes Of
the members of the church are bound up.

veniences in use for facilitating the handling
OF mail and the money department While
there he had a draft made of his plan for
arranging the stamp, delivery, money and
postal order, registry and carriers windows in
the new postoffice. The plan is made from the
hest ideas in use in the various cities visited.
Several ideas for the registry department were
very satisfactory to the postmaster, and he
will introduce them here at once.
Another new idea to be introduced innedi-
ately will be to supply the quick delivery boys
with sacks similar to those now in use by the
carriers, only smaller This idea is borrowed
from New York. the only city now using it.

All Made, and Work is to Begin the First of
April
Messrs. Straub & Morris. the real estate deal
ers. have received a letter from Charles l.
Davis (Alvin Joslin), stating that the contracts
for his new theater have been let and that
work will positively begin on April l. All the
tenants of the property have been ordered to
vacate before that date in order that work may
not be delayed. He gives as his reason that
the contracts were not let before that they
were too high and that some slight changes
were submitted to the contractors with more
satisfactory results.
There is no doubt that the theater will be
huilt," said one of the membtrs of the above
firm. big payments have been made on the
property through US. and he certainly won't
keep the property on his hands in the shape'it
is now. don't doubt that the people are get
ting anxious to see the theater under way. and
they will certainly not be disappointed"
