The bishop. in the morning discourse,
referred to the unenvIable reputation
which the ''crap shooters have made
Tor Jamestown. lie delivered a scath-
ing denunciatlon of this particular
game and characterized it and the
gambling habit in language beftting
the subject. The bishops words i'm
pelled an Alert man to make little in
yestigation into the matter. Two yeais
ago the game OF craps Was played here
so openly and 80 universally as to be al
most epidemic. Public sentiment be-
came aroused against it. however, and
! it was stamped out for time. The
| Alert is now Informed that the mania
has recently broken out afresh, but in
milder form and that for sometime past
two or three games have been running.
Last week Mayor Fuller served notice
ON the parties running the games that
they must stop-aud, that, too, perma-
nently Bishop Shanley's timely re-
marks come as welghty supplement to
| Mayor Fuller's order and will have
! great inf uence IN the eradication Of the
evil. f.
| Grafton News Times: The Indian
problem Is solved in this country. so far
at least as concerns the preven5 lion of
the Indian from going on the warpath.
| The only phases Of the savage problem
still left for consideration by our gov
ernment is the maintenance OF the ln-
dian himself, and his possible msasur-
able reclamation fron savagery. Few
who have seen the Indians On the pjalu
and studied their character and conduct
and who have taken note of The slight
degree Of moral sense which they
evince, will beIieve that the Indian OF
10 day can eyer be made use OF as q fac
tor in civilization, Perhaps, il the truth
were known in regard to the origin OF
the present excitement among the In
dians, it would be found TO have it's rise
| in some later extortion praeticed upon
them, through the Indian agencies. 1t
is stated that the northwest Indians
have instituted new dance which has
been construed a quasi-Eeligioas move
plent. The present excitement has been
Of short duration, and will soon be for
gotten. So far as it has been regarded
as prelude to All Indian outbreak, VIZ
believe that there has never been any
thing in it 20 warrant general consider"

more of interest or value than as re-
minder that the gentle savage is still
the ward Of the nation.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
| Bishop Hare, who has just returned
to sioux Falls from q four weeks visit
among the various bands Of Sioux In
dams from Standing Rock to Pine
Ridge. says: ''If the Indians are left
alone this craze will die out. Tbsy are
perfectly insance over the coming Of tbs
Indian Messiah and it would be Ia
mentable and unfortunate circumstance
If an organized resistance On this pare
Of the delnded Indians is preciptated.
ANY attack Of the Indians upon our
forts OF settlements seems to be improb-
able. According to the ringeaders'
statements of the new movement ths
Almighty is to rid the earth of the
whites and they are to have nothing to
do with that part Of their craze. They
are confning themselves to the wild
dances and exciting actions Of the me-
ment. Let interference be made into
the free exercise Of their frenzy and
serious results are sure to follow.

The nelghbors of Governor Hoard at
Fort Atkinson, presented him with q

graved the words, ''Y GU signed the Ben

True Republican: The country now
above all other times needs able, COM
petent. and honest men in high places.
The Democrats of Wisconsin, for the
first time in many years, will choose a
United States Senator. They should
choose the ablest Democrat in the state.
No secJionai claims should interfere in
the election OF the man who would
prove the ablest in meeting the en-
croachments of the corrupt rings now
III the senate. Wisconsin has one man
that stands above all her other sons in
ability to defend the interests of the
state. He has that patriotism and
craftsmanship which the country now
SO much needs. He was more closely
than other men associated with this

every Democrat In Wisconsin and OF
every state in the Union is SO proud,
