take this force about three weeks to
count the currency, etc. After the cur
reucy is connted the heavy work begins,
that of weighing the coin. This is done
by the committee with the help of

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D., April 14.-Gen.
Pease, the commissioner appointed by
the government to adjust the damages
sustained by the settlers on the Crow
Creek and Winnnebgo reservation, by
the order in 1885, ousting them from
their claims, finds considerable more
work than was anticipated. Already
testimony in over 800 cases has been
taken, and there are probably 400 more.
The actual average damage sustained
will reach about 5000. Many claims
will never be put in, as scores of those
settlers went to other sections of the
country after leaving the reservation,
and undoubtedly are not aware that the
government is making an effort to pay
their losses.

What words are these you speak to her?
All, tranquil words and worldly wise!
You cannot see her soul astir,
On tiptoe, in her waiting eyes.
You come and go; you touch her hair.
The ring upon her slender hand,
The smiling trouble of her air
You note, but cannot understand.

A kingly beggar, at the gate!

But summer reigns forever in thine eyes,
And at thy touch grief stealeth out of sight,
After sad years of longing love must swoon.

A SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.

DE-. Gentry, q Chicago Phycioian, Cap
lures Some La Grippe Microbes.
CHICAGO, March 2S-Dr. William D.
Gentry, of this city, claims to be the
possesor Of microbes Of Ia grippe, the
6rst ever captured or even heard of. The
little wrigglers are imprisoned on the
glass sides Of DR.. Gentry's big micro
scope, and during the day were care
fully inspected by many scientific eye.
Ever since the grip made its appearance
a year ago, the doctor says he has been
on still hunt for the microbes, if any
existed.
Owing to the occurrences of the dis
ease DR.. Gentry was inclined to believe
through stretch Of space impregnated
with what astronomers can "star dust.
Fo0r days ago il occurred to ham that
he might trap some of the dust. or
microbes, or whatever it was. Carefully
polishing blank slide. he took it out
doors and passed it through the air.
Caught Seven wrigglers.
Placing the slide under his microscope,
which magnifes 1,170 times, he counted
seven hitherto unidentified microbes in
the field of the instrument. The crea-
lures were very lively. and seemed to
flow or swim upward toward the glass.
His next step was to procure some
mucus from a patient afflicted with la
grippe. A neighbor, w. j. Jefferson,
furnished it, and to the delight of DIR.
Gentry, the same sort of microbes was
found in the mucous that had been caught
in the air-identical in every respect.
The grippe microbes, as described by
DR.. Gentry, are generally of round
form, varying Occasionally in outline,
but always distinctly market by series
Of seven lines surrounding. Radiating
from these lines are other lines which,
in the magni6ed image, resemble fine
irregular hairs. DR.. Gentry will write
an account Of the discovery for the pro-
fessien.
