CHICAGO, May 26.-By the completion
of three deals within the past few days,
the school book publishing trust has
been completed, 90 per cent. of that en-
tire business in the United States having
been taken in. Among the concerns
which threatened its perpetuity were
the Standard Publishing company, of
st. Louis, and D. D. Merrill & Co., of
st. Paul. They had a seventeen-year
contract to furnish school books to the
State Of Indiana. They were brought
into the fold a few days ago, leaving
only the great New York house Of
Harper & Bros. to be feared. Negotia-
lions were begun with them, and the
announcement is made that, for a con
sideration estimated at between $3.50, 900
and 81, 900, 600, that firm has consented
to go out of the school book publishing
branch of the business.

HOW WAR EAGLE DIED.
A Relic of vigilante DAYS in North Ia.

WAsHBURN, N. D., May 27.-About
four years ago a Sioux Indian named
War Eagle, in Mclean county, was srs-
pected of stealing stock. Steps were
taken to punish him by law, but the In
dian suddenly and mysteriously disap-
peared and nothing more was heard Of
him until Sunday, when a human skele-
ton was found near Elm Point, on the
bottom lands along the Missouri river,
by a farmer in search of young trees to
plant. On closer inspection the skeleton
proved to be that of an Indian-several
beads, a pair of elk teeth earrings, a
pipe, a gun, two knives and cartridge
belts being found in close proximity to
the bleached bones. Both belts were
filled with cartridges, and the magazine
Of the Winchester rifle was nearly full.
Appearances indicate that the skeleton
had not remained there more than four
years, and a piece of heavy rope around
its neck was abundant evidence that the
Indian paid dearly for his theft at the
hands Of a hastily-organized vigilante
