within mile or two OF many Of their
farms. Some OF them attend church in
the town and send their children TO the
district school, and there are children
among them who are unable 10 speak
their native tongue. The houses are
nearly all frame, and as good as the av-
erage settlers home inthat region, while
Mr.. Eastman has lately built pretty
cottage OF eight or nine rooms, which is
probably equal to any house in town,
and is nicely furnished.
The Flnndreaus are, OF course, citi-
zens Of the United States, and have vot-
ed ever since they took out patents for
their farms. Senator Pettigrew and his
family and connections, many OF whom
still live ut Flandrcau, are old and
valued friends Of these Indians, and
they have usually voted tho Republic
can ticket from principle and gratitude,
and are not easily bribed or persuaded.
Mr.. Eastman is said TO be the first full
blooded Indian who has ever sat on the
grand jury.
There is lesson to be read in this
quiet, homely, everyday success ot-the
Flandreau Sioux. Here are wild In
dians" who, by sheer force Of will and
wholesome letting alone, have become
self-supporting, self-respectin0, intel
ligent Christian community owning
property, exercising the right OF citi-
zenship, and in all things conducting
themselves as do the rest OF us. They
have accomplished all this compara-
lively unaided, and here is the secret
independence, freedom from unwise in-
terference and pauperizing assistance.
BY our vicious reservation system We
are crushing the manhood out of their
brethren, who had the same native
force and shrewdness and ability us
they. The reservation Indians" have
deteriorated, and IRE still deteriorating
in their vegetable existence.
From the war-path and the chase to
manly, civilized pursuits is straight
road the same faculties that distinguish
a man in the first may find in the second
hopeful exercise. 1t is different prob.
lem to place upon Ills feet IN Indian
habituated to live upon rations, to
cringe to an agent, and to beg OF the
church. A vestige OF manhood still
survives, however, in the meanest OF
these, and it is to this that We must APP
peal. The instinct Of self-preseryation
will still compel to effort, if we allow it
free play. AS live longer among these
people, and study the conditions more
thoroughly, l am more positive that
immediate radical change is needed
that nothing less will save the Indian.
lie must be freed from degrading condi-
tons, and placed as rapidly us NAV be
upon footing with his natural equals
a man among men.

The marked benefit which people in run down
or weakened state of health derive from Hoods
Sarsaparilla conclusively proves the claim that
this medicine "mekes the weak strong" 1t
does not act like a stimulant, imDarting 1cti-
tious strength, from which there must follow a
reaction of greater weakness than before, but
possessing just those elements which the sys-
TEN needs and readily seizes Hoods Sarsap-
srilla builds up in a perfectly natural way, all
the weakened parts. acts upon the blood as a
purifier and vitalizer, and assists to healthy

CROP BULLETIN OF TIE WEEK.
The Season Backward and Crops Not
Much Injured.


Much Injured.
WASHINGTON, March 14-The weather
crop bulletin, issued to-day, says; ''The
week has been warmer than usual in the
states on the Atlantic coast, in the lower
lake region and the northern portions of
Mississippi and Alabama. the greatest excess
of temperature being over New England aud
New York, where the daily average was
about g. above normal
"The week was cold generally through
out the central valleys and thence west
ward 10 the Pacific coast. Over the region
from Texas northward to Dakota aud
Montana the week was unusually cold, the
average daily temperature over this section
ranging from 12s TO l5e below the normal
for the week.
''About normal temperature prevailed on
the Pacific coast, except in Washington,
where the daily temperature was about s.
lower than usual.
THE RAINFALL
1.-THE rain fall for the week has been in
excess, generally, throughout the southern,
middle and New England states. and IN the
central valleys, except over portions OF
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, where
only light showers occurred. There was an
excess of precipitation also over the Mis-
souri, val ey, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado,
Iowa and Southern Minnesota. On the
Pacific coast the rainfall was less
than usual except in Northern California
and Southern Oregon. The week was dry
generally throughout Texas ADD thence
westward to Southern California, while
eastward from Texas over the southern
states the rainfall was greatly in excess, the
amount of precipitation in the east gulf
states, Northern Georgia and portions of
North Carolina and Tennessee ranging from
four to six inches
THE SEASON BACKWARD.
"Generally throughout the regions Of the
Rocky mountains, the season is retarded,
notwithstanding the fact that the thermal
conditions in this region are generally in
excess. The recent storms which have passed
over the central valleys have been attended
by freezing weather In that region, but
as the growing season has now opened it
is probable that the low temperature
reported caused / o marked injury TO the
growing crops; although in the west Gulf,
where fruit trees are in bloom. severe
freeze during the present week has caused
some Damage. There is an excess of mois-
ture generally throughout the cotton and
tocacco regions, and over the greater por-
ton of the fall and spring wheat regions.
There is also an excess Of moisture generally
throughout California aud Oregon. due
largely to the recent rains. which followed
what threatened to be serious drought In
