THE DAKOTA IN oIANs.
Dr. Sarah w. DevoIi's Experiences
Among the Red Men,

Last evening at the First Parish House
DIR. Sarah w. Devoll, formerly OF this city.
but now government surgeon among the
Sioux Indians In Dakota, lectured before the
Indian Association on her experience among
the Indians. She first paid her respects to
the present system OF supplying them with
food. BY this they come up at certain times
from all parts Of their reservation to the
agency building. where their supplies are
issued to them in bulk and live cattle are
given In corral where they are killed. The
women and children all 20 down TO see the
killing and there learn much Of the blood
thirstiness that they sometimes display.
Gen. Morgan, the Indian Commissioner. Is
making some changes In the system, but
there are others that might be made with
advantage.
Mrs. Devoll then passed to description OF
her work. She at first had great.dlffieulty In
securing supplies. having to walt six weeks
for the bedding and crockery needed. At
last three beds were set up and the hospital
was ready. Various kinds OF diseases were
treated The Indians have superstitiOus
horror Of death and will abandon any build
ing In which death occurs. For this reason
great care had to be taken not to get any
persons affected with chronic diseases.
DR.. Devoll paid warm tribute to the peo-
pie in this city who furnished food and 9th
er supplies for the hospital. The Indians
were particularly partial to condensed milk
| and tea. A son Of Chief Gale was treated in
| the hospital for serious wound and finally
i cured by DIR. Devoll's care in spite OF the
opportunities and well meant, but unfortun'
ate care of his relatives and friends. This
| cure greatly increased the respect CT the In
dians for Mrs. Devoll, and they gave her the
title of medicine woman.
Mrs. Devoll then passed to general dis
eussion Of the Indian question and Its reme-
dies. She claimed that the Indians ought "
be taken off Of farms and set TO work making
| bricks and shoes and doing other things that
they are taught to do In the schools ~ Gar

The report adds:
There Is cause TO believe that the persons who

move the cork. supposed to be located In the
lett Dr0nchus, were unsuccessful. DR..
Boutwell, bore with fortitude the dangerous
operation. He lost an enormous quantity OF
blood.
The case of d.. Boutwell, has attracted
great attention. Two weeks ago, while
pouring some medicine from a bottle, be
placed the cork between his teeth. Some
thing was said which made the doctor
laugh, and in doing so the cork was drawn
into his mouth and thence into the throat
and bronchial tubes. The operation OF
tracheotomy was unsnccessfnly performed
when Surgeon Rushmore reached the hospi-
tai and 10 minutes later DR.. Boutwell, was
wheeled on rolling cot into the main oper.
ating room. He appeared remarkably cheer
tul, and as the surgeon placed the cones sat
urated with ether over the patients mouth
and nostrils. he quietly remarked: "Now
Doctor, do your best with that corkscrew OF
yours" In less than minute and hall
he was under the influence of the anethet
ic.
Through the passage already made In the
windpipe DIR. Rushmore inserted the small
corkscrew shaped probe. incased in a flexible
rubber catheter. The patient at this juno
ture breathed very heavily and the instru.
ment was quickly removed.
| DR.. Bates held his wrist and announced
| the pulse was irregular. A consultation was

Bigger and Higher Than Brooklyn
Bridge.

WASHINGTON, April 30-The Secretary
of War today approved the report of the
board of engineers on the construction of
to Hoboken, N. j., by Congress.
The act of Congress provided that the
bridge should be at least as high as the
Brooklyn bridge (135 feet. The river men
claimed that a bridge 1876 feet in height
would greatly depreciate dock property and
injure commerce. The railroad people, on
the other hand, claimed that 1876 feet was a
sufficient height. The War Department ap-
pointed board of engineers to consider and
report upon the matter, and after a long ses-
sion, at which all the interests represented
were heard, the board reported to the De-
partment, recommending that the bridge
should not be less than $50 feet high. The
report received the approval of the Secretary
today. The proposed bridge will be one ol
steam railroad tracks and four surface road
tracks, besides foot passageways.
