RESERVATION OPENED.
Exciting Scenes on the South Dakota
Border.

LEDGERwooD, S. D., April 15.-At five
minutes to noon to day a cavalry bugler,
with a long yellow plume streaming from
his helmet, and a brand new bugle sus-
pended from his shoulder by bright yell
low cord, rode to the crest of the hills
which separate Browns valley from the
Sisseton reservations. Scattered along
in ar uneven line to the north and south
of him were three companies of cavalry,
each man fully armed with sabre, revolver
and carbine. Back ofthese were grouped
heterogeneous mass Of meu, white, yell
low and black, all nationalities of the
caucasian race with liberal mixture OF
half breed negroes. There were women
in the crowd, too, and here and there
could be seen baby held in the arms OF
its mother as she sat on her horse, deter
mined to be one of the first to enter the
promised land which was to be opened
to-day. AS the sun neared the meridian,
jor Bernard glanced at his watch. The
bugler lifted his instrument to lips and
the crowd of land seekers gathered up
their reins and awaited the signal. At
last Major Bernard, watch in hand,
hooded TO the bugler, who began to
sound the reveille. At the first note
there was a crack from the carbine of
the soldier next to him, which was
quickly echoed by one further down the
line The shots rang out clear and as
the vollcy ratified down the lines, it was
ans wered by the hoof-beats of hundreds
Of horses, spurred on by riders reckless
Of life or limb, in the ride for land. A
cloud Of alkali dust rose as the motley
army charged for the line Of the reserva-
ton, and soon all that could be seen
from the crest Of the ridge was a black
mass of huddled horsemen closely pur
sued by whirl of yellOwish dust.
A long line of horsemen, men in bug
gies, others in sprin wagons and others
still in huge prairie schOoners came
across the border. On and went the fly
ing column and within half an hour the
last man and vehicle had vanished from
sight beyond the foot hills, and the sol
diers, at the word Of command, wheeled
and returned to camp, their duty in open
ing the reservation being finished

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
Mail Train Held Up on the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad,

New ORLEANS, April 15.--The pas
senger train onthe Illinois Central which
reached here last night, was held up
seventy seven miles from the city every
valuable express package was taken.
When the train reached Harmon station
man sprang on the engine, scrambled
to the cab, covering the engineer with a
pistol, compelled him to stop. Two men
then emerged from the underground
along side the track and joined the other
man. The engineer and firemen were
used by the robbers as parleying party
and instructed to go TO the express car
and order the messenger to open his car,
which was complied with. The entrance
into the car which bears the treasure of
the express company as we'll as that of
Uncle Sam, was then effected by the rob
bers. The safe was emptied of its con-
tents. Having completed their work,
the men disappeared in the darkness
leaving the mails and passengers undis-
turbed. Superintendent Fisher, of the
express company, said the amount carried
of by the train robbers would hardly ex-
coed $4,000, in his opinion.

A WE'LL CURED HAM !

Perhaps you don't take kindly to ham
as regular diet, but there are times
when nothing appeals SO strongly to the
taste, providing its quality is up to the
mark. There is as much difference be-
tween the ham that has been properly
is between genuine dollar and a coun-
terfeit. One is a treat and the other
well, nothing good can be said about it.
We would like to have the pleasure of
introducing you-to our Reliable ham;

When Norman Driscoll and his wife

What BahY,s Cries Mean.

To most mothers the cry of infants
indicates nothing beyond the fact that,
for some cause or other, they are dis
tressed, and yet it is full of meaning to
those who are observant and quick to
read signs. A loud and full cry which
seems wrung from the little one, would
suggest severe pain somewhere, and
more than likely in the bowels. A
whimpering and fretfulness are gen.
orally very common, indeed, in diar-
rlea and other intestinal affections,
which are not so acutely painful, but
are attended with a dull, uncomfortable
feeling and tenderness. A cry that is
constantly interrupted by rapid breath
ing or coughing is characteristic of
trouble in the chest and suggests pneu-
monia or pleurisy. There is one cry,
the significance of which can never be
mistaken, and that is the cry of brain
trouble. This is a single, sharp, high
pitched shrek, which strikes the lis
tener with chilling effect. When
child utters this cry at occasional in
tervals, also keeps rolling its head from
side to side, at the same time pressing
it back in the pillow and trying, as it
were, to bore into the same, there is
little doubt as to the existence of some
serious brain Decentralization Herald.

sugar. bowl. He drove them away, but
they soon returned, seemingly unwilling
to leave their sweetened feast. Again
they were dispersed, only to return in
increased numbers. There was lamp
hook directly over the center of the ia
BILE, and, to try their ingenuity, the gen.
tleman suspended the sugar-bowl to the
hook with cord, allowing it to swing
clear of the table about an inch. First
the sagacious little creatures tried to
reach it by standing on each others
backs. After repeated efforts, all of
which were failures, they went away,
and it was supposed that they had given
up in despair. Within surprisingly
short time, however, they were seen
descending the cord by dozens and
dropping themselves into the sugar.
bowl. They had scaled the wall, trav-
ersed the ceiling, and discovered an
other road to the treasure.

have nearly all my life live d on farm,
and have never used canned me ats OF
any kind. l think they are unwhole-
some If not dangerous, even when put
up in the best manner. 1t is needless
insult to ones family to set before them
plain boiled potatoes at every meal,
when there are a dozen or more ways
of cooking them, each of which will
take but few more minutes. Why not
bake the sliced cabbage with cream in
stead of boiling it with meat, and make
appetizing salads of this plebeian vege-
table with some cream, mustard, egg
and vinegar, instead of merely wetting
up the chopped article with sweetened
vinegar as our grandmothers used to
do? Cream Is not used as freely as it
should be in farm cookery. l do not
know why it is SO, but woman will use
butter instead, when cream enough to
make half the quantity of butter used
would make the article taste better, and
besides be more wholesome. 1t is good
plan to get out of bread sometimes.
Bread is so handy that the cook is apt

house keepers always bake the day be-

agreeable change from cold bread, to

griddle cakes to choose from.

Uses for Sweet Oil.

A bottle of sweet oil is an absolute
necessity in the household. Few
women know of the many uses to which
it may be put. Sweet oil cleans bronzes !;
after being carefully rubbed on they
should be polished with chamois skin.
Do your shoes squeak? Then rub
them with sweet oil. Sweet oil will
clean Britannia metal; rub it well with
a flannel cloth and then wash off in
warm suds. For sunburn sweet oil
and limewater-two parts oil to one of
limewater-will be found very effica-
cious. To remove warts apply fire.
quently sweet oil and cinnamon, which
will, in time, cause them to disappear.
In laying knives away apply little
sweet oil on very lightly, and wrap
them in tissue paper; this will prevent
their rusting. For inhammatory rheu-
matism dissolve into pint of sweet
oil one ounce of pulverized saltpeter,
and thoroughly rub the parts affected.

The Girl with Exquisite Skin.

to produce roughness or burning sem
