Yesterday street market displayed a
lot of doves, with other game, which
caught the eye of a wide-awake sportsman,
and he went in and whispered in the ear OF
the proprietor. The doves disappeared i'm
mediately from the public gaze.
The law makes it misdemeanor to kill
doves between the 1st of January and the
1st of June, and at least one of the sports
mems clubs in the city proposes to see that
the law is obeyed.

just before the train started said a
commercial traveller, in telling a story
to the Kansas City Times, a man and
his wife entered the car. When the

husband good-by and got of. The
man was evidently a Jew, and he had
an unusually long, dejected-looking
countenance. In the car besides the
stranger and myself were two natives,
one long, lank fellow with an i'm
mense beard, and the other equally
long and lank, coatless and vestless
and with but one suspender. We had
just fairly started when the bearded
native opened conversation with the
dejected-looking Hebrew.
"'You look like a man who has seen
much trouble, stranger he began,
stroking his long beard and glancing
inquiringly at him. I believe you are
in trouble right now

''At this point in the conversation
the one-galussed native who had been
an attentive listener changed his seat
across the isle to one directly in front
of the detected man, and abruptly in
terrupted him.

MUST WAIT UNTIL SPRING,
Settlers Cannot Take Land on the
Sioux Reservation for Several

Settlers Cannot Take Land on the
Sioux Reservation for Several
Months.
WASHINGTON, Special telegram
President Harrison, in his proclamation
opening the Sioux reservation, will prob
ably take pIecaution to save what he be-
ieves would be a calamity to many intend
ing settlers by fixing time when settlement
may be made. 1t is not known at what
date he will allow settlers to take up the
lands, but there is an intimation that some
time in the spring has been decided upon.
The president wishes to declare it opened
before the time fixed by law for the expira-
ton of the treaty, and at the same time
save settlers the disasters they might meet
in going upon the land in wid-winter.
He will, therefore, proclaim the pro-
visions of the treaty complied with,
and fix. time when settlers
may go upon the lands. The South Da-
kota members are anxious to have the
proclamation issued early, so that they
may secure legislation on several matters.
They want to place Pierre in one of the
land districts and Chamberlain in the
other. They want to establish these land
offices and appoint the officers. There are
several minor matters that will need atten.
ton in congress and in the interior depart
ment as soon as the proclamation is once
issued. and the South Dakotans are in a
hurry to get the business cleared UP. If
Representative Gifford's bill allowing the
location of Sioux scrip upon the reservation
becomes a law the townsite trouble will be
obviated, and the man who has town site
can secure his scrip and title to the lands,
1t will prove wise provision inasmuch as
it will enable some good towns to be built
where they are needed.

FREE ENTRY TO SETTLERS.

Proposition to Give the Sioux Lands
to Settlers Instead of Selling them.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
AS soon as the president sends word to
congress that he has issued the proclama-
ton opening the Sioux reservation to set
tlement, Senator Pettigrew will introduce a
bill which will have an important bearing
on the subject. 1t is practically an amend
ment to the act of the last congress which
provided for the negotiations with the
Sioux and is designed to give the lands to
homesteaders instead of selling them. Un-
der the act referred to the lands are open to
settlement on the same conditions as any
public lands, after the payment to the In
dians of $1.25 per acre for those taken the
first year, and smaller amounts thereafter
The bill contemplates the payment of this
money by the government instead of by the
settler, thereby carrying the terms of the
old act so far as the interests of the Indians
are concerned, and at the same time giving
free entry to settlers on complying with the
homestead laws. This will simply be in
line with the governments past action in
opening Indian reservations from time to
time, for in most, if not all instances, the
government, rather than the settler, has
paid the red man. The presidents procla-
nation is ready to be signed and the off,
cial act may come at any hour.

NEW York, Special.-The consul general
in New York of the Argentine Republic
states that Dec. that government formal
ly recognized the republic of Brazil, and
fixed Dec. as day of national celebration
of the event. On the latter day flags were
displayed and all public places Illuminated

men of-war at home and abroad. This in
spite of the utterances of Senor Lafayette
Rodrigues Pereira, who was Emperor Dom
Pedro's prime minister, and also delegate
to the Pan-American congress Senior Pc
reira is said to be in bad repute at present
by reason Of his actions and utterances upon
recent occasions at Washington. When the
news of the fall of the Brazilian monarchy
came Pereira started for that country
at once. He was glad enough, how
ever, to get away from there, 1t
is said, and is now in Paris.

public of Brazil by any country, either
republic or monarchy, in the world, and
was passed as soon as practicable after the
change Of government had taken place.

new republican government will hold its
own, and as soon as it can properly organ

we do not like to be misrepresented as to
our position towards it by such men as
Lafayette Pereira, hence l hasten to make
public these documents. The indignation
of the Argentine people with that of the
Brazilian republicans is justly raised
against Pereira Efor what he said in the
papers in Washington regarding the lead

The Worlds Long Tunuels

On the St Gothard Railway, not far
from the famous long tunnel, there is
a remarkable tunnel on the plan of a.
corkscrew. In the descent of the
mountain It was found impossible to
lay out safe incline on straight
line or ordinary curve, and the engin-
eers got over the difficulty by driving
a tunnel which enters the mountain
high on the side, describing a circle
through the solid rock, constantly de-
scending as 1t does so, reappears un-
der itself on the mountain side some
distance below, then dives into the
rock. again circles and sinks as it cir
'eles until it again emerges into day.

sumes its course down hill In a more
familiar way.
The making Of a tunnel like this is
as striking an example of engineering
skill as the world can show, and. many
very skillful things have been done by
our railway makers. The art of tun4
neling is an old one, but it never at
tained such perfection as distinguishes
1t to-day.
