A Tragedy at Standing Rock.

A tragedy was enacted at Standing Rock
agency the other day which may result in
the death of one of the most widely known
Sioux braves in the west, second only to
old Sitting Bull. 1t appears that Chief
Rain-in-the-Fac and his squaw, a hand
some young woman, quarreled about an
other woman to whom the chief was pay
ing undue attention to the neglect of his
lawful wife. The chief left his tent and
withdrew to another part of the camp.
That night his wife entered his tent while
he lay asleep and plunged a knife into his
chest and side, making several terrible
wounds. She then gave herself up, say
ing she was sorry she had not killed him.
She is now kept under a strong guard,
awaiting the outcome of her husbands
wounds, and great excitement prevails at
the agency. Rain-in-the- Face is the In
dian who boasts that it was by his hand
Custer met his death.

An Enormous Me,cor strikes in kansas.

On Wednesday about l o'clock p. M, a
meteoric body shot over Washington from
south to north, making a peculiar roaring
and rumbling sound, resembling thunder,
and leaving a trail like smoke behind it.
Many people heard the sound and saw the
smoke. 1t was afterwards learned that
this body, or a portion of it, struck the
ground on a farm four miles north of there
with such force as to penetrate to the
depth of several feet. 1t struck only a
short distance from a farmer named Janu-
airy, greatly surprising and frightening
him.
The occurance excited much interest and
hundreds visited the spot. Mr.. January
dug the body up and has brought it tc
Washington, where it is On exhibition. 1t
broke in two pieces when it struck the
ground. The larger piece weighs 100
and the smaller sixty pounds. They are of
q dark slate color and are very hard and
very heavy for their bulk. At exactly the
same hour that the meteor passed over
there was a distinct shock of an earth
quake at Waterville, only twenty miles
southeast of Washington.

is said to be $4,000, 600. Another COM
pany has works in course of construction

duct of the famous English mine.

No Carriages in the Grand Army Parade.

Cammander-ln- Chief Alghr, of the
Grand Army, has decided that there shall
be no carriages IN the great parade at
Boston during the national enampment in
August. The result is a TREMENDOUS kick
among the manned members Of the organ
%ization. Complaints are pouring into
headquarters by the hundreds. The order
will not be revoked. The reason assigned
is that if carriages-one or more to post
are allowed in line the parade will be of
an impracticable length. Forl this reason
the plan of having the state militia act as
escort to the G. A. r. has been aban-

Asking for Population Figures.

J.A Wakefield, supervisor of census of
South Dakota, is in receipt of>letters from
all prominent towns in the state asking
for population figures. The permission
given to Mr.. Wakefield by Superintendent
Porter, leaving it to his discretion to make
known the population of cities, has
prompted many to send in for figures.
Some places are likely to be disappointed,
for the official figures will not reach the
estimated number by several hundred. The
census of the state has been carefully taken.
and the figures in every instance may be
regarded as correct.

WASHINGTON, April l5.--The ways and
means Republicans are In very wobbly
state again over their Tariff bill. After an.
nouncing on last Thurtday thatthey were al
ready to report the bill to the House. and
would do go II the minority report WAS
ready, they have spent almost all the inter-
yening time IN considering most important
changes In their bill, which is not yet really
to report. Carllsle's trenchanr report on
the bill as presented ny the Republicans IN
committee, and ordered reported to tho
House, was signed yesterday by the Demo-
cratic members OF the committee.
II the bill had been ready It might have
been reported Yesterday. But instead OF

licans hGvo b4en holding meetings morn

after midnight bstore they broke up. To-
night they were still in session at late
hour, hu4er, wool and hides, which have
already given them 80 much trouble were
the chief topics Of dis uss,on.
Ua 10 this evening no change h d been
made In any of these items In the OIL,
