We speak of the Catholic missions because they entedate by many years all efforts of other churches, but we do not mean to imply that there havo not been long continued and persistent work among the Sioux by other denominations. The continued efforts of all the self sacrificing and jealous missionaries who have spent their lives in laboriug among these savage men have net sue ceeded in placating their wild natures. The strong arm of the government of tho United States is all that can curb or cantrol the fiery and predncious spirit of the Sioux.
 Long before the white man appeared upon this continent, the Dakotas, as the Sioux prefer to be called, woged fierce war with their hereditary enc. mics, the Iroquois, and never missed an opportunity of striking their hatred foe. Neither fear nor persuation, nei- ther religion nor education can eradi- cate from the Indian nature the feroci- ty inherited from prehistoric ancestors, and as long as Q Dakota lives, you will find fearless and savage warrior,

ELECTION IN MAINE
CIeaves Plurality for Governor Is Nearly
Twelve Thousand.


AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept l4.-Early esti-
mates, based on fragmentary returns,
show that the Republican plurality for
Henry Il. Cleaves for Governor is not
apt to exceed 1900 This is the figure
that Chairman Manley hopes to reach.
The Democrats have not been organ
lied before since 1882, when the Re-
publican plurality was less than 1900.
The greatest Democratic gain so far
has been in the City of Augusta, where
the Republican plurality of 2,570 in
1855 was reduced to l,792: Lewiston
also showed Democratic plurality of
$50, gain of 27s.
The smaller towns heard from before
midnight indicate that the Democratic
gain in the city is offset i'm the country
districts. Freeport showed 122 major
ity, gain of IS Republican votes, and
eleven towns in Waldo county, the
home of Congressman Milliken, who
has been the subject of bitter per-
sonal attacks, shows 2li Republican
gain for both State and Congressional
tickets.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. H.--Over one
hundred delegates were present yes
terday at the meeting called by
Justice Ecibleman to reconstruct the
order of the Iron Hall. The delegates
represented over forty thousand mem
bers of the order and the morning ses-
sion was stormy and acrimonious.
j. C. Young of Kansas City was
chosen temporary chairman and V. i.

chair appointed a committee on creden-
tials composed of nine members with
William Fletcher of Kansas City, chair
man. In discussing the duties of this
committee some of the delegates made
wholesale charges against others. II.

represented $4,000 members of the

that would conflict with Somerby's

cause OF the crime. The proprietor Of

proprietor, with knife in each
hand, sprang toward Reilly and
stuck both the weapons in

minutes, The murder was entirely
unprovoked, and Reilly was killed for

North Mulberry street, Muscat;ne,
was the scene of a deplorable shooting
ARRAY. in which William Powers was
shot and painfully wounded by young
fellow named win Snyder bate at night.
II seems that WIN Powers, his brother
and four young ladies were strolhng
out Mulberry street when they were
passed by Snyder aud companion
bound for Ben Tiec's, where they are
employed as harvest hands. Snyder is
a recent convert of the Salvation Army,
and the fact that the party of young
people were singing Salvation Army
song seemed to displease him. He
turned arouu and told them to quit
making sport of the Salvationists or
they would have the trouble they were
looking for. They told him they were
not making fun of anybody and were
not looking for trouble. Snyder told
them they had better slmt up and they
claim he applied II vile epithet to them,
whereupon VIII Powers lett the girls
and walked toward mm telling him he
would have to go on and stop such
language. The Powers party say that
Snyder backed out into the street,
pulled his revolver and fred, the bullet
striking button on Powers coat and
glancing, inflicted severe wound in
the abdomen. Snyder tells very diff
ferent story from the Powers party.
He says that after he passed them they
threw rocks at him, and when he re.
monstrated Will Powers advanced with
open razor aud said he would cut his
d liver out. Snyder says he started
to run, with Powers after him. Being
| lame Powers was overtal<ing him, SO
| he drew a revolver and warned him to
stop Powers kept ON, telling him he
| was too cowardly to shoot Snyder
says he finally fired in self-defense.
Snyder earned the pistol because GER
tain parties had been laying for him, '
he says.
