the leaves is wide, from the deeply denied

If one has even small skill in free-hand
work, it is easy enough to draw the design
from the natural leaf. if facilities for stamp
ing are not at hand. Put in the larger veins
TO give accent and shading. From seven to
eight inches square will be the right size for
the surface Of the leaf. White linen jean is
much used for doilieS and center-mats, as it
has more body and firmness than linen. 1t

The button-hole around the edge IS done with

The silver is preferred, and is beautiful with

THE CAUSE OF DELAY.
The President Has Not Decided on 4, Pol
lev Regarding In.lan,n;t, Y o,,.I,

The President Has Not Decided OH "a Pol
icy Regarding Indemnity Lands.
A Washington special says: About
year ago Senator Casey cndeavored to
have the administration confirm the in
demnity lands in North Dakota, so that
they might be placed upon the assess
ment rolls and help pay the expenses of
the state, county, town and school dis
tricts. 1t is estimated that it would
make about $4,000 difference in the
revenue of the state if these lands should
he made taxable.
A decision rendered by Judge Field
of the United States supreme court. in
the case of Price county vs.. the Wis
consin Central Railroad company, It
was held that all lands within the
granted limits are taxable upon the fill
ing OF map of definite location. With
Ill the regular grant along the North
ern Pacific in North Dakota this has
been done, but there are still over2 ., ,OOO,-
OOO acres of indemnity selections which
are held up awaiting the announcement
OF policy by the administration. If
the grants are confirmed to the road be.
fore April the lands will be placed on
the tax lists and will yield a large rev.
enue to the state, but if the matter is
not settled until later the large a,nonnt
stated will be lost.
All of these facts have been laid be-
fore the interior department and the
president. and it is possible that some
action may be taken before it is too late
for the state of North Dakota to
receive the benefits which it would be
entitled to.

But Gen. Miles vigorous measures in
dealing with the outbreaking Reds
meet with general approval. What
may have been the manuer Of the de-
mise of Sitting Bull. we voice the gen.
eral sentiment of the people through
out the Northwest i'll saying there is
general rejoicing and feeling of relief
in the fact of his death. He has been
q pow er for bad and that continually
since his rise to power before the
memorable battle of the Little Big
Horn. He was the cause of his own
death, and if there are amy more of
his kind who are as stubborn and un-
ruly, they should be arrested and
taken into custody at once, and
should they refuse to quietly obey
such demand of the law, let their lives
pay the penalty as did that of Sitting
Bulls.
