forgotten, like SO many other sacred
promises made the Indians by this great
and supposed just government? Again
we. the Sioux, when the treaty referred
to above was signed, were promised, in
addition to cattle, horses, etc, $50 per
capita to assist US in building houses.
That promise. too, seems to have been
forgotten, and many Of my people are
living in decayed log houses and tepees
exposed to the inclemency of the
weather. This is bringing on disease
and sickness. Why will the govern
ment be so unjust? Why will it not
give what is due and promised us in.
stead Of dealing out small payments
like that now being made? Does the
government wish moro ~bloodshed, and
will 1t refuse us Justice unless demanded
at the muzzle Of the gun? Is not
the bloodshed at Wounded Knee q suf-
ficient reminder of the wrongs rva"ticed
upon US and the desperate attil. into
which we have been driven? 1 beg you,
Mr.. Commissioner, to lay these facts
before the nations legislators and de-
mand justice for US at their hands.

Discovered ut Last,

PROF. P. c. MATrox of Piedmont,
fifteen miles north of Rapid City, will
exhibit what he claims to be q perpet-
ual motion machine. In conversation
with Prot. Mattox he stated that he had
worked twenty-seven years on the prob
lem, and had at last been successful.
He has invited the newspaper men to
test it in every way. They will be al.
lowed to take It apart, stop 1t at any
time, and examine it thoroughly. A
few persons have already e the ma
chine, and while some claim that 1t Is
simply . clever device with outside
power applied in some secret way, 9TH
ers believe that Mattox has really made
q great discovery.
He ia not, however, the only seeker
after fame and money via the par
petual motion route. A rancher and
cattle man, living ON the Cheyenne
River claims to have q machine which
has run for some time, and which
will run until it is worn out, by its own
power. Two young men have recently

city. At first sight, and even after q
close examination, it seems to be u per-
feet perpetual motion machine, but the
inventors claim tnat the power is fur
nished by All electric current. How or
at what point the current is applied no
one has yet been able to discover, and
it is on their secret and invisible appli-
cation of power that the inventors will
apply for q patent.

that AlonZo Wardall, George c. Cross,
and II. l.. Loucks. and other Alliance
men have controlled. Rumors have
been in circulation for months as to
the condition of the concern, hence tho
visit of Inspector l'enderfeld. Upon
the completion of the examination he
submitted d report to State Auditor
Taylor, who after examining it scnt
Secretary Cooley u lengthy letter, of
which the following is the text:

examination, aud am sorry to say it
discioses u condition of affairs which
cannot be justified. The worst feature
disclosed IS the gross discrimination
practiccd in the payment of losses.
Your policy holders should stand OH
the same footing. Each should receive
his Exact pro rata of the mount col
lected and applied to the payment of
losses. No more or no less. The eXam-
ination discloses that the association
has apparently had a list of preferred
creditors. Hundreds have been over
paid, and the overpayment amounts in
tho aggregate to thousands of dollars.
This overpayment has been made to q
minority OF your policy holders. Every
dollar thus overpaid has been ut the

amount bcem equally divided it would

and applied to increase the per cent. of
payment of all losses in an equal ratio,
or. if that cannot be done, That the
assets of the association be converted
into cash. the losses prorated, II each
loser receive the same per cent. Until
this injustice is righted no application
by the Alliance Hail Association for u
certificate of authority will be consid-
cred by this Office"
Secretary S. ID. COOLEY of the Alli-
ance Hail Association was asked If he
had any explanation to make as to the
letter of State Auditor Taylor, in which
he reviews the report of Insurance En-
amincr Freudenfeld, and upon such re-
port refuses to issue u certificate of
authority to do business in South Da-
kota. He declared MIR. Taylor's letter
TO De unjust and in many respects iln-
true, and that he misstates the condi-
ton of the hail association and attempts
to destroy it for selfish purposes. The
association. Mr.. Cooley says, has done
and is now doing an honest and e luita-
bic business. and in 1870 it paid so per
cent. of it's losses, and policy holders
were allowed to insure their 1891 crop
and apply the premiums for which they
had Jivan notes tnOn that vnnfsS ipSur.
ance. There is not $500 outside of
premiums standing against the ~associa-
ton out of $l32, 900 in losses in that
year.
Mr.. Cooley says the association will
at once bring suit against Mr.. Taylor
to compel him to issue u certificate of
authority, and for that purpose attor-
ncys for the association have been sent
to Pierre.

Not Too Much Mo,.tare.

REPORTS from thirty-two counties in
South Dakota. sent to the office of the
United States Weather Bureau ut
Huron, gives the con4.lion of growing
crops:
The temperature was considerably
below the average; also. the amount of
sunshine. over most of the State, es-
pecially the Southern part, the precipi-
tation (rain OF SNOWY was above. the
average. Considerable progress has,
however, been made in wheat and oats
seeding. but reports indicate that. state
considered, not over half has been COM
pleted. In some counties this work is
we'll advanced, while in others not much
is done. 1t is believed, however, that
up to Friday and Saturday, mild and
bright days. advancement was made
which would not appear in the majority
of reports.
In u few localities seed has been in
inred on low ground where water
stood, but general information indi-
Gates that the early sown grain is
sprouting and growing, though slowly.
Herds are grazing in many counties,
especially Southern. and the early
varieties of trees and bushes are bud
ding.
Reports indicate that over the greater
part of. the state there is more moist
urc i'm the ground than at the same
time in any year since 1883.
