talked briefly, and then Secretary Noble
spoke to the Indians. He said the Indian
must not be discouraged. He would be
supported so long as he endeavored to do
well. There were two sides to the question
OF what is due from the Indians. Up to
1854 the Sioux had been given SIP 900
by the government. The government
acknowledges its treaties and agreements
with the Sioux. Since 1884, when this
money was paid, there had been much
more money paid according to treaty.
The secretary then quoted statistics as to
the issues. As to the Indian schools,
which the Indians wanted. they had been
Kept up at all agencies, and an industrial
school, such as they wanted also had been
re-established at Pierre, and another school
would be put up at Flandreau. Farmers
had been kept at the agencies to show the
Sioux how to farm. 1t was mere acct
dent that 500, 600 should have been cut off

the agreement with General Crook. 1t
would have been the same If there had
been no agreement. These things should
convince the Sioux that the government
had been trying to do what was right for
them.
In conclusion the secretary advised the
Indians to think over the many things the
government had done for them: to look at
the promises made by General Crook, and
have confidence in what he said The Sec
rotary said he wanted the Indians to make
up their minds to do the best they could to
educate or to have educated their children,
and never to let their young men dream
that they could get anything by force from
the United States.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 7.-Sherif Young and
County Auditor James, of Kitson county,
who returned to Hallock from Roseau val
ley and Lake of the Woods, report to Gov
ernor Merriam that settlers, because of the
Indian scare, are leaving those localities
in large numbers. At Jadiz on the
Roseau river, the settlers were
building stockade, and had organ
lied volunteer company to defend
themselves against the Indians. Officials
say the whole business seems to have been
started by evil-disposed persons. Between
800 and 400 people have left their homes,
and most of them are in very destitute
condition. As they left their stock to
shift for themselves, they will doubtless
lose many cattle.

THE PUGET SOUND DRY DOCK.
Why the Bill Was Changed-Commis.
sion Exceeded Its Authority.

WAsHISGToN CRY, Feb. Especial. l.
Senators Allen and Squire have inter-
viewed large number of Senators today
in the hope of securing modification of
the amendment relative to the dry dock
on Puget sound. If they cannot succeed
in fixing the site at Port Orchard, they
hope at least to be able to secure such a
change as will permit the purchase of
enough land to permit naval station.
The change, it is said, was in part due to
the feeling among the committee that the
commission had exceeded its authority in
selecting lands enough for the navy yard,
when it was authorized only to select a
site for the dock. The Washington sena-
tors believe they can persuade the Senate
to override the action of the committee
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb Especial. l.
The amendment to the naval appropria-
ton bill establishing dry dock at Port
Orchard did not come up TODAY, but will
probably receive attention Monday.

lying between the lakes an admirable piece of
land for the purpose mentioned, and il was the
general opinion that were it possible to procure
this tract, no better site could be found.

Farm Hints.

The farmer who prefers speedy
trotter to fast walking horse is like
ly to have poor crops.
When farmer thinks he knows
everything about farming it is time he
had some one to take care of him.
New York city consumes daily about
$4,000 punches OF asparagus. There
has been no oversupply this season.
There appear reasons for believing
that the consumption OF mutton since
1875 has increased twice as rapidly
as the advance of population.
Some Georgia capitalists have un-
dertaken to manufacture paper from
cotton stalks and hollis, which arc
now practically useless to planters.
The farmers horse generally gets
enough ofexercise to keep him healthy.
But it does not pay to keep him trot-
ting oil the time to shows and races.
All farmers who are studying their
business as the merchant, She lawyer.
the doctor and the banker study
theirs, will learn something from the
agricultural experiment stations.
A farmer plainly shows he does not
care to improve his practices or better
his condition when he claims he has
no time to read. If he really wants
to be q better farmer he can't help
reading and thinking.

The origin OF the expression ITO find

call a nightmare was by our forefath-
ers supposed TO be the Saxon demon
Mara or Mars, kind Of vampire,
which caused the incubus by sitting on
the sleeper's chest The Marc YAM
pires were said to be the guardians Of
hidden treasures, over which they we're
supposed TO brood as hens do over
their eggs and the place where they
sat was termed their acidas or nest.
Hence when anyone announced that
he had made an extraordinary dlsoov-
cry, someone accused him of finding
