BILLINGS, Nov. T.-[Special. Great in
dignation is felt along the Yellowstone over
the delay in opening to settlement the por-
tion of the Grow reservation purchased
from the Indians. Cattle companies, with
a big pull on the administration, have di-
vided among themselves the grazing priv
ileees on the remaining portion of the
reservation. and it is asserted that they are
using their influence to have the opening
postponed indefinitely, or as long as they
possibly can. Among the big cattle outfits
ia the Custer Cattle company, OF which I.
G. Power is one of the incorporates. He
is also interested in the Ox-Yoke Cattle
company. It is feared Mr.. Power will have
sufficient influence to hold the Presidents
proclamation back until congress meets,
when the squawmen and cattlemen will en-
deavor to have an act passed repeating the
not Of last congress confirming the pnr-
chase. In that event, or il the president
should delay his proclamation until next
spring, the citizens will organize booming
parties and 20 in anyway.
The members of the bar dined together
at the Grand on Tuesday evening with the
district judge, Hon, George Il. Milburn, in
the chair. The speeches were lmpromptu,
bright and witty, and the bar dinner is
likely to become an established institution
in Billings.
Some Of Engineer Gillette's B. 4 NJ. en-
cheering party have baen in town this
week purchasing supplies for their putfit.
They are now surveying north through the
Grow reservation towards Billings. An
other party has already located the line
from the north and west to within a few
miles of Billings.
A very pleasant drive whist party was
given at the residence of q. NJ. HAYS on
Wednesday evening in honor of District
Judge Milburn. In the absence of Mrs.
Hays in England the duties of hostess We're
performed by her sister, Miss
Jones, and Miss Hays.
The following defendants, who had been
convicted at this term of the district court,
were sentenced by Judge Milburn this
week. John Muller, petit larceny, three
in the county Jail; William Gal
licher, burglary. three years in the state
prison; Asceola Smith, burglary, one year;
Sidney Monroe, burglary, five years; Will
lam Burns. grand larceny, two years; Au-
gustus Lovegreen, grand larceny, to pay
800 fine and to go to prison two years;
Frank Gatfney, assault with intent to kill,
four years in the state prison.
Arthur Sansome and his sister, who have
been revisiting England, returned this
week, bringing their parents with them.

SENATOR PETTIGREw, of South Dakota,
proposes to devote a good part of his
time this winter at Washington to the
alienation Of the red mans condition.
He has been quietly getting specimens
of shoddy blankets and clothing dealt
out to Indians by contractors and will
ask the government to investigate INTO
the "green goods" method Of fattening
contractors at the expense of the Indian,
the government and the settlers. But
better yet the senator will attempt to
secure means for giving the Indian a
practical education. In this connection
he says:
My idea is give a utilitarian education to
the Indian. Put workshops on the reserva-
ton, and put the Indians in these shops to
Iun them. The Indians use cloth. Let
them manufacture it if they can. If not
furnish ii to them by the bolt, and have a
large tailoring establishment in which they
can make their own clothes. Every year the
government e1pends millions in clothing
alone. Then there is one thing that could
be made a complete success. There are
thousands of pairs of shoes furnished the
tribes. Why not put UP a tannery? Beef
and hides are the chief products of that
great body of land west of the Missouri.
1t is the greatest grazing country in the
world. The hides could be converted into
leather. and the leather into shoes. Two
factories could thus be created on this one
subject-a ~tannery and a shoe factory. Put
the young to work at a trade and the old to
herding cattle. Dot the plains with work
shops and you will o~ivilize the Indian.
Make him a subject of our nation that you
can point to with pride and possess the ad-
miration of the world within a quarter of a
century,"
Senator Pettigrew is right in believ-
ing that the schools and workshops
should be located on the reservations
and there seem to be- no reasons why
this should not be done.

SENATOR PETER and Jerry Simpson
can view the reported decline of the al.
lance party in Arkansas with some de.
gree of satisfaction. They are drain.
ing more money from the United States
every month than can be ploughed out
of n Kansas farm in ten years under
Mckinley prices.

II is pleasant to note that with all the
bitterness OF the late campaign the lead
ing republican papers have ~refraiued
from applying the term Of "rebel briga-
diers' to the distinguished %southerners
who participated in the political discus
sions in Ohio, Massachusetts, New York
and Iowa.

its foot "as far as who goes farthest.'
Kansas women have lost mono of the
modesty that should be the most charm
ing accompaniment OF w~omanhood.
Thereby hangs a tale. The other day,
the streets Of Hiawatha were invaded
by n disreputable band Of loafers. Pipes
in mouth, they lolled around, and
seemed to have no other object than to
prospect the blank walls and hoardlngs.
At last they got to work, and to work
that brought n blush TO the cheek of
every female in tho little town. Fol
these disreputables were bill-stiekers,
and they proceeded to pollute the walls
of Hiawatha with airy fairy pictures of a
London Gaiety company. Through
their parted fingers the outraged
females beheld their decollette sisters,
with one wild rush they corraled every
child within doors, and he'd them to the
city council, demanding the instant
expulsion of the offenders and the
destruction of their sinful allurements.
Is it to be believed that that council
composed entirely OF males-abruptly
refused tho demand and adjourned for
the closer study Of the fine arts? But their
and their cousins and their aunts
rose to the occasion. With grimy pitch
forks and innocent rakes they scraped
the offending posters from the walls
they disgraced, and the council is look
ing forward in fear and trembling to
the next election. Meantime, they have
n free pass to the show. And the
croaker still croaks.

dry it will burn like finder. We think
a word to the wise is sufficient.
