Extracts From the Presidents Mes
sage.

The message begins hy calling at
tention to the large amount OF husl-
ness transacted 10y the Government
and saws the revenues amounting to
over iour hundred and fifty millions OF
dollars have been collected and dis
burScd without revealing, so far as
can ascertain, Il case Of dcfalcation or
cmhczzlemcnt.
AFFAIRS OF THE INTERIOR.
The report of the Secretary of the
interior shows with great clcarncss
and fullness the work of that great
department and the satisfactory re-
suits attained. The suggestions made
10y him are earnestly and very closely
recommended to the consideration of
Congress, though they cannot all be
given particular mention here.
CONDITION OF THE INDIANS.
The several acts of Congress look
ing to the reduction of the larger In
dian reservations, to the more rapid
settlement of the Indians upon indi-
vidual allotments, and their restora-
ton to the public domain of lands in
excess OF their needs, have been large
ly carried into effect, so far as the
work was confided to the executive.
Agreements have been concluded since
March 1, 1889, involving the ccssion
to the United States Of about 14,72G,-
600 acres OF land. These contracts
have, as required by law, been sub
mitted to Congress for ratification and
for the appropriations necessary to
carry them into effect. Those with
the Sisseton and Wahpeton, Sac and
Fox, Iowa, Pottawattamies, Shawnees
and C9ur d'Alene tribes have not yet
received the sanction of Congress.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the appropriations made in the
case of the Sioux Indians have not
covered all the stipulated payments.
They should by promptly corrected.
If any agreement is confirmed, all of
its terms should he complied with
without delay, and full appropriations
should be made.
THE LAND OFFICE POLICY.
The policy outlined in my last an
nual message in relation to the pat
enting Of lands to settlers upon the
public domain has been carried out in
the administration of the land Office.
No general suspicion or imputation of
fraud have been allowed to delay the
hearing and adjudication Of individual
cases upon their merits. The purpose
has been to perfect the title of honest
settlers with such promptuess that
the value of the entry might not be
swallowed up by the expense and ex-
tortiOns to which delay subjected the
claimant. The average monthly issue
of agricultural patents has been in
creased about COCO

THE EXPORT TRADE

In live animals and fowls show a
very large increase. The total in such
exports for the year ending June 80.
1890, was $33 600 600, and the increase
over the preceding year was over $l5,-
100000. Nearly 100000 more cattle
and over 5000 more hogs were exported
than in the preceding year. The ex-
port trade in beef and pork and dairy
products was very largely increased.

THE MORMONS.

The increasing number and inf1u.
ence of the non-Mormon population in
Utah are observed with satisfaction.
The letter of Wilfred Woodruff, presi-
dent of the Mormon church, in which
he advised his people to refrain from
contracting any marriage forbidden
by the laws of the land, has attracted
much attention, and it is hoped its in
fiuence will be highly beneficial in re-
straining infractions Of the laws of the
United States. But the fact should
not be overlooked that the doctrine or
belief of the church that polygamOus
marriages are rightful and supported
by Divine revelation remains un-

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The encouragement that has been
extended to the militia OF the States,
generally appropriately designated as
the National Guard, should be contin-
ued and enlarged. Those military Or
CARNATIONS constitute. in a sense, the
army of the United States, while about
fve-sixths of the annual cost Of their
maintenance is betrayed by the States.

COAST DEFENSES.
concur in the recommendations of
the Secretary that adequate and regu-
lar appropriations be continued for
coast defense works and ordnance.
Plans have been practically agreed
upon and there can be no good reason
for delaying the execution of them;
while the defenseless state of eur great
seapOrts furnish an urgent reason for
wise expeditiOn.

HazeItOn HappenIngs


AT debate. at Maple Grove school
house, the other night, Capt. 9Blanton
and l.. NJ. Presnell had judges chosen,
and debated the question as to whether
there was not worse condition of sla-
very among the white people than ex-
listed among the negroes before the war;
BlantOn affirmed that there was. Both
sides handled the subject in mastery
manner. The judges gave Capt. BIan-
ton the decision. The farmers ALI
ance have been shipping In their coal,
this week, and they claim that they are
saving $1.55 per ton by the operation.

left, and wanted to paint the house, the
tariff would add about 81 80 to the cost

The CoIdwater Killing.

The killing of Dudley Murphey, by
DIR. j. E. Sombart. at Coldwater, on the
26th ult., has been the subject of gene
raj talk here since the news reached the
city. Both of the men were known
here, deceased being cousin of MIS-,
Schmidt, Mrs. Walstad and Mrs. Min
nick. The preliminary examination
set for Monday, was waived, and the
accused was remanded to Jail. An at
tempt will probably be made to secure
his release on bail.
The INDEX has learned that several
days before the tragedy, Murphey and
his wife had cornered DIR. Sombart in
his private Office, and at the point of a
revolver, held by Mnrphey, they were
demanding money from Sombart as a
salve for wounded honor, it having been
current rumor that Sombart had been
intimate with Mrs. Murphey. Just at
the moment when matters were becom-
ing critical, gentleman of this city, i'll
COldwater on business. CHANGED to step
into Sombart's office, and by diplomacy,
| for which he is noted, prevented blood
shed, and patched up truce. He re-
lated the circumstances when he re-
turned here, but did not mention any
| names.
This would seem to indicate that Som
bart had reason to fear Murphey.
1t was also told here this week that
Mrs. Murphey was seen to go to Som
bart's Office an hour before the tragedy,
and remain there some time. Whether
she went to demand money, to warn
him to be on the lookout, or to pay a
sOciable visit, has not yet transpired.
When she was in Sombart's office, heI
husband was in the drug store across
the street, and had been there for sew
eral hours.
The greatest excitement exists in Co
manche county over the killing, and
there is belief that Sombart will be
mObbed If he is kept at Coldwater.
Murphey was buried Saturday by the
Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias
orders.

Immigration.

There was mass meeting of citizens
of this city, at the courthouse, last
Wednesday evening, to discuss the i'm
migration question. An unusually good
crowd was present. Mr.. burst told
what was done at Wichita. Others dis
cussed the best methods of advertising
the county. All agreed that Barber
county must have director on the state
board, permanent representative, who
can look after the interests of the coun-
ty. Several thought Barber county
should be represented at meeting of
the Trans-Missouri passenger agents,
at Omaha, on the 18th of February.
But to get the matter properly before
the people-all the people-Of the coun-
ty, a mass convention was called for
this city on Saturday, February Sth, at
which time director Will be elected,
and the question of sending a delegate
to Omaha will be considered and decl-
ded. A committee was appointed to
publish call for the convention, and
that committee prepared and sent out
the following circular:

MEpICINE LODGE, Jan. 80, 80.
10 the Citizens of Barber County;
There was organized, at Wichita, on
the 18th INST, State immigration So
clety, and 1t was recommended that
each county IN Kansas organize an aux
lllary society, and elect a county direc-
tor of the state board. The objects
of the state society are, to secure re-
duced rates from the railroads for those
who desire to locate In or inspect the
state; to advertise the resources and
advantages of the several counties, and
in every way possible endeavor to Sc
| cure portion OF the tide of immigra-
| ton that is coming westward,
AT mass meeting of citizens, held at
this place, last night, the folio wing res
Olution was adopted:
Resolved, That the citizens of each
township and Incorporated city in Bar
Der county be requested to send repre-
| sentatives to Mass immigration Con-
vention, to be held at Medicine Lodge,
on Saturday, February 9Th, 1890, at !

ing County Immigration Society, and
electing a County Director of the State
Immigration Society"
The undersigned were appointed to
| publish the resolution, and solicit the
cooperation of every citizen of Barber
| county.
We therefore ask that you be present
at the meeting of February 9Th, if pos
sible, and that you give this circular all
the publicity possible. and secure the
cooperation OF every interested citizen
in your locality.
HENRY MORGAN,

w. I. ROUSE,
Committee.
1t is to be hoped that there will be a
full attendance at the meeting.
Every farmer is interested, for the
more people there are in Barber county
the better markets there will be for the
farmers products.
Every tradesman is interested, for
the larger the population, the more
goods he can sell.
Every landowner and lot-owner is
interested, for the more population we
have, the more valuable our lands and
lots will be.
Every one is interested in the meeting
to the same extent that he is interested
in the growth and prosperity of city OF
county.
Some satisfactory plan of advertising
the county must be agreed upon. and
the meeting Saturday will, probably.
thoroughly discuss the best plan.
