INDIAN BUREAU STILL ON DECK.
The Only Change VIII BE the Removal of
Agent Roger.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. s-The pub
lished statement that all the Sioux Indian
agents are to be supplanted by army off,
GERS is denied at the interior and war de-
partments. There will be a change made
at the Pine Ridge agency, the seat of the
Indian war, where Indian Agent Roger is
in charge, and whose removal for lack of
capacity to meet the present emergency
has been recommended to the president
by Secretary Noble and Indian Commits
sioner Morgan.
The Old Policy Continued.
1t is understood that the president will
make the removal at once, and Capt
Pierce, an army officer of much experience
in Indian agency matters, Will be detailed
to take temporary charge Of the agency
until the troubles are ended, but he will
be under the control of the secretary of the
interior and the commissioner of Indian
affairs like any other Indian agent, and
will have no more authority than any
other agent.

Opposition to J. III. Beatty's appoint

probable that his name will be Withdrawn,
there are serious charges affecting his
moral character that are staring him in
the face Beatty is now in Washington to

public man in Idaho against whom Beatty
has not filed charges to prevent his poiit-
ical preferment. He now has chance to

rules and regulations not inconsistent
with the law relating to county boards,
and that it shall be its duty to prescribe
standards of proficiency. The board eof
examiners, IL formed, is not controlled by
two members Of the board of education, as
the circular complains: nor do they. also
appoint the teachers. They are appointed
by the entire board. The complaint that
if no examiners are appointed, the CITY
superintendent will control the patronage
of the city schools, is also groundless.
The circular argues that if no board OF ex-
aminers are appointed. the superintendent
win pass upon the qualifications Of appli-
cants. The fact is, If no board is ap-
pointed, the state law relating to county
examinations shall be in force.
1.-THE city schools need relief from the
present system of examination by the
county board at stated times. There il no
provision for us to test the qualifications
of teachers who are employed between
the regular quarterly examinations. At
the last county examination ten of our
teachers, who had been employed since
the preceding examination. had to dismiss
their schools to be examined Over 500
pupils were turned out of school two days
because we have no provision for testing
the qualifications of our teachers"

West, colored. was hanged today for the
murder of three members Of the Church
family. May IA. 1880. The crime was one
of the most deliberate and thorough ever
committed in this section, and everything
against the man has been purely circum-
stantial, yet convicting.
West slept until 7:30 this morning. At
$50 O'Clock. while the death watchers were
changing, West secured small piece of
iron, concealed in his bed, and jabbed HIM
self in the neck. He was rendered uncon-
scious, and physicians were called in, but
were unable to restore consciousness up to
2:30 p. M, when he was hanged. His con-
dition had not greatly changed. He was
strapped 10 a board and carried to the scat
fold, and at 2:3S the trap was sprung, and
the rope broke The murderer was in ter
rible distress, and it took five men to hold
him, though he was manacled. At $40
the rope was strung up again. and this
time the hanging was successful. At FAB
he was pronounced dead. The hanging
and horrible occurrences attending it
created great excitement.
