Ives and Stayner Denounced,

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton railroad, held at Cincinnati, the
PRESIDENTS report, speaking Of the Ives and
Stayner trial, says: ''The failure of JUS
tice in the case on trial in September is a
source of regret. hut the prosecution is
still pending and it is to be hoped that
Stayner and Ives will yet be tried with a
more satisfactory result than a disagree
ment of the jury"
He says further of the question of the
validity of the Ives ard Stayner stock:
"Of $4,000 Of alleged preferred stock is
sued by Ives & Co. there yet remains out
standing and claimed against the company
$2,4o7,0 600. Iu retiring the portion that
has thus far been taken in, the company
has authorized and put out an issue of
S55,4O0 preferred 4 per cent. stock"
The bylaws were changed SO as to de-
volve on the president most of the duties
heretofore discharged by the vice president.

CROP REPORTS.

The South Dakota Crops Very Favorable
at This S~ca>on-Ficnty of Iain in Minne-
sofa and Elsewhere.
The crop prospects for South Dakota as
made up ftom advices from private e"Tre-
spondhnts in thirty-tWo counties OF the
state. are more favorable than at any pre-
vious time during the season. Reports IN
dictate that the wheat crop, on a general
average. is in exceptionally fine condition,
We'll "stooled, growing rapidly, fine color,
aad with continued favorable weather
promises a fine yield. The acreage is
from 5 to 8 per cent. less than
former years with corresponding
increase in flax and corn. Lo-
Cal showers have been we'll dis
tributed during the past week. Some COM
plant is heard of the nights being too cool
for corn, and the growing is not as rapid
as 1t should be. From about all sections
OF the,state come reports OF damage OF cut
worms. The most destructive work seems
to have been done in Minnehaha, Miner,
McCook and Sanborn counties. In the
former county a number of fields of corn
cave been damaged to the extent of 80 per
cent. by the worms. Garden farmers
around Sioux FAILS have been the heaviest
sufferers. Whole fields Of onions, corn,
peas, beans md sweet corn have been
eaten up slick and clean.
Weather could hardly be more favorable
for a heavy growth of straw, and if it
would turn dry now, with cool weather
when the heads are filing, the general
prospect would be most gratifying. There
are fears that in some parts the grain will
lodge badly. In North Dakotath the weather
has been very favorable for the growing
wheat. The late rains will answer for all
practical purposes, though more will not
do harm. In most of South Dakota
abundant rains have fallen. Some think
that no more rain is needed to
mature the crop. More rains at
present would prevent the blowing
Of corn, which is somewhat
weedy. 1t has. been too wet for oats, but
SO far the crop has suffered but little.
Taking both Dakotas, the situation is en-
couraging. The season is backward, but
i'll thirty days this will be largely made up.
In southern Minnesota there is more rain
than is needed. Already wheat is getting
heavy. With more roin the wheat will
lodge. Farmers owed heavily this season,
expecting q dry year, but it has turned out
just the opposite. Wisconsin reports q
great deal of rain the last two weeks,
The ground is thoroughly soaked. Little
more rain is needed for the spring wheat
to mature. The plants are healthy and
vigorous.

Made Rich by "A Stray Item.

Mrs. Jennie Douglas, of Vancouver, B.
G., owes to a chance newspaper item the
discovery of her rich husbands death at
Cloverdale, CAL, last spring. Douglas.
WHO was a wealthy Scotchman, died leaving
no provision for paying the undertaken,
although in his effects were found certified
checks for $4,000. The undertaken brought
suit to prevent the checks from being sent
to Scotland, where the deceased had left a
will. Mrs. Douglas saw an item regarding
the case and at once came to C~loverdale.
The deceased had married her ten wears
ago, and had taken her to his home
on Douglas Lake, B. c., 200 miles from
civilization. His fine mansion which he
had described she found to be a log cabin
with q dirt floor, a bunk for a bed and no
means of cooking but a frying pan. She
vainly tried to get some of the comforts of
life and at last left for Victoria, where She
took charge of a boarding house. She lost

THE
The Trouble With Hungry Indians In u Fair
Way of Adjustment.

The Trouble With Hungry Indians In u Fair
Way of Adjustment.
Two talks have been had with the Chey-
ennes. At the first %Porcupine, who has
just returned from o visit to the alleged
Indian messiah in Nevada, explained the
belief in great detail. This is tho first
authentic account of this religious excite
ment. The story is very interesting, and
occupied four hours in its delivery. In the
afternoon Col. Curtis had a pow-wow
at the agency with the leading chiefs at
which Two Moons was the principal
talker. Curtis explained his MISSION to be
to find out the truth of rumors about the
trouble between the Cheyennes and whites.
In answer to questions which might
criminate the Indians on the question of
cattle killing they were very diplomatic,
and avoided any direct answer to the
charge. They complained Of lack Of suf-
ticient food and of farming implements,
and SAID their young men were afraid of
the cowboys, and that the story of bad
blood between the two races had worried
the Indians as much as the whites. Two
Moons promised that his young men
would leave their gus in the teepes, and
Curtis promised to do all he could to have
the whites leave their arms ut home. An
other powwow will be held with
the Cheyennas on Tongue river, and
an additional investigation be made among
the settlers. The powwow seems to have
had a good effect on the Indians.
The Indians are gathered at the reserva-
ton in two camps on Tongue river, the
latter being under surveillance of the mill
tary, who report no signs of an outbreak.
The country has been thoroughly patrolled.
1t is now the belief that another council
will be held between a body of Cheyenne
chiefs at Custer, Maj. Upshaw and Mai.
Carroll, at which the Indians will be asked
to explain their desires.

BANK FAILURE.
A Chicago Institution Closes It's Doors
The Bank Not an Important One.

The Park National bank, of Chicago,
closed its doors Friday and a crowd
of depositors surrounded its place of
business. The causes of the failure are not
yet Known. A notice posted on the door
says it is in charge of j. D. Sturgls, no
tional bank examiner. Charles p. Pack
ard is its president. 1t has been organ
lied only a few years. Its stock sold at
par yesterday. No statement of assets or
liabilities is obtainable at this writing.
TIE bank was not an important one, its
capital stock being only 5000, 600. The
report of the condition of the bank May II
last, showed loans and discounts amount
ing to $1,000 900; notes and bills redis-
counted, $685. 600; surplus fund, S21,-
600, aud undivided profits SIS, 900.
The failure was not expected in banking
circles. Its president made considerable
money in the hat business and took charge
of the bank, it is said, without sufficient
knowledge OF banking. The result was
that its loan department was understood to
be conducted less strictly than conserva-
tive bankers consider necessary, with the
result of getting rather a poor line of
nSplr
