at Pine Ridge agency:
"Will you kindly have the people in

reservation, In council, stated that
they desire peace and peaceful relations
with the whites along the border; that
the action of Two Sticks band was in
the nature of an accident. but the pun
ishment of the murders was proper
in the eyes of ell Indians. The rela-
tions existing between Indians and
cowboys and other whites on the
reservation have been friendly
and cordial, and majority Of
the Indians are willing to continue
these relations. The danger of an out
break lies in reckless actions, and IL all
the people viii use their utmost en-
deavor to restrain any act of violence
an outbreak can be avoided. One of
the greatest dangers is the giving OF
liquor to Indians, and hope that all
will refrain from giving them any in
the future. There are at present sew

Be Gaming the Confidence Of
the Public.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.-The steamer
Belgic arrived at o'clock a. m from
Hong Kong and Yokohama via Homo
lulu. She reports the American flag
still flying at Honolulu and everything
progressing smoothly under the new
government.
Martial law was declared off by the
provisional government OF Hawaii on
Feb. 8. Everybody is anxiously await
ing news from the United States, and
the sentiment in favor Of annexation is
reported as steadily growing. A de-
tachment of sailors and marines from
the United States steamer Boston is
still quartered on shore. The United
States warship Mohican was just
entering the harbor at Hon
olulu as the Belgic sailed,
but there was apparently no necessity
for any increase of tie naval force, for
both the whites and natives seemed con-
tent to await action by the Washington
government Ex-Queen Lilioukalani is
still in retirement in her private resi-
dence. The provisional government has
demonstrated its ability to cope with
the situation and has in q great measure
won over public confidence.

NEUMAN WAS INDIGNANT.
He Denies That He Is I4oitering ON the
Way 90 Washington.

He Denies That He Is Lettering ON the
Way TO Washington.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Three emissaries
of deposed queen hurried through Chi
cago ON their way to Washington. One
was the Hon. Paul Neuman, personal
representative of Queen Liliuokalani of
the Hawaiian islans, and a former MEM
Der of her cabinet The second was the
Hon. MacFarlane, an old resident of
Honolulu and at one time financial min
lister of the island kingdom. The third
was no less parsonage than Prince
David Kawananakoa, a member of the
royal line and nephew of the queen.
Mr.. Neuman was slightly ont of
temper. Some newspaper man out West
had autographed that the minister was
purposely making slow trip to Wash
ington as he did not care to oppose the
annexation scheme. AS soon as Mr..
Neuman had his berth ticket he unbut-
toned his chinchilla coat, and backing
into a corner of the waiting room, told
something about his mission. The
prince and Mr.. McFarlane stood by and
corroborated him.
I've are getting to Washington with
al possible haste said he. ''Our only
delay was at Denver, where we arrived
three hours late. The train on which
we were to have come east was held an
hour. as had telegraphed ahead, but it
could wait no longer. 1t is not true
that we have been enjoying ourselves
and seeing the sights. It is to our in
terest to get to Washington at once
and let the president know the exact
state of affairs"
What win be your action at Wash
ington?'

truth, do not know, but there are
some things which the United States
government should know and which /

Judge Gresham will resign from the

man can be man and retain his self
respect in any position in life. The
trouble is with public men that they

man. They feel elevated at popular

of the Office. Heads are turned and they
forget that they are still of the people.

Al viii Broken.

NoBLEsvILLE.I Ind. Feb. 18. The jury
in the Mcdonald win case, after being
out all night, returned verdict for the
plaintiffs, Malcolm A. Mcdonald, and
other heirs of the late Joseph Dopald.
The practical effect of the verdict is to
declare that the win fled for probate by
Mrs. Mcdonald is q forgery, which waa
the theory upon which plaintiffs rested
their case. Senator Mcdonald left
about 5000 worth Of property, all of
which, under the broken win, was be-
queathed to Mrs. Mcdonald except some
small legacies.

DEMING, N. M, Feb. 8.-The bodies
Of Mark and Mart Wilson, freighters,
employed in hauling ore in the Cooks
Peak mining industry, were found

ALONG THE ILLINOIS.

A Repetition of the Floods of Last
Year Probable.
OTTAWA, nls., Feb. lS.--The Illinois
river is on the rampage. Heavy rains
falling upon tha area east of the city on
Monday ond Tuesday sent great vol
umes of water over and under the ice.
During Wednesday night the ice broke
loose above the river bottoms and swept
west to Hits island, where second
gorge was formed. The water and ice
are now thirteen feet above low water
mark. Allen Park and the lowlands
between here and LaSalle are flooded.
A rise of five feet, which is probable
within the next few days, will cause a
duplication of the great foods of 1892.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
The 0hdurate Maiden.

Come" said st. Valentine,
Love and will now combine
Merrily with hearts we'll play
Through this long and happy day"
Soon they met a maiden rare,
Beautiful beyond compare,
Fancy free she tripped along,
Trilling low a merry song.
Straightway did the willy pair
Aim at her with jealous care,
But III vain, with quick rebound,
Fell their darts upon the ground.
Then disguised in sober dress
On they went in blithesomeness.
When they came to Smiths great
store u-
Close they waited at the door.
Soon the maid came hurrying by,
But the Bargains" caught her eye.
Through the stately door she went
And on mischief slyly bent
Came the other, drawing near
Thus her every word to hear.
Handsome was the dapper clerk,
But the scheming would network.
Nothing saw the pretty maid
But the Bargains" he displayed.
Then the schemers turned about,
Muttering as they shuf1ed out
There's no room for us at all 8gA
When these bargains are on call
WithFhis elegant display IEs
SMITH is bound to rule the day."

Kentucky Central Railroads for the
possession of piece of track which
both claimed. The Central set a force
of men ut work to take up the track.
Then Chesapeake & Ohio locomotive
was run on the track to prevent this.
Then came n Kentucky Central loco
motive and pushed the other off, and
presently all the locomotives that
either side could command were putting

the disputed property. The heaviest
battalions gained the day, and the

Southern Competition.

Already the cotton spinncrs of New
England, who were pioneers in that line
of busire $ on this continent, arc lc
ginning t. feel the competition of tn.
Southern mills. The treasurer Of the
Massachusetts CO ton mills, at Lowell.
and Whiltcuton mills, at Taunton, says
the South is rapidly gaining on thc
North in the matter of manufacturing
enterprises; that the condition of affair
have SO completely changed in this di
rcction that he is absolutely driven out
Of his own State and he is going South
to build nils in ord to hold his export
trade. His &C ods, he says, can be made
much cheaper In the South on the anne
machines. We neither desire nor expect
TO sec the manufacturing interests of
New Eng'a ruined by Southern com
petition. Th,rc is room S8ough for
both. tt o market OF the world is wide
enough to handle continually incrcas-
ing supply of American geo ls. Our
pros, Gritty is not cantingcnt on the
downfall Of cur Northcrn brethren. 1t
is patent fact that mo:c industrial en-
.erprises have been started in the South,
chiefly manuf curing and mining, with.
in the last ten years than in any prcvi
ious quarter of q century, and it is hrat
flying to add that most of them hav
been paying investments. The rcxt ter
years arc likely to witness similar pro
gress, and even IN this generation tho
South will cease to be purely agricul
turai section and will take her place b
the side Of the North and East in minin
and manufacturing enterprises. The
our population will rapidly increase, anc
even agriculture will fc, the reflex in
fluencc OF the general prosperity. Tiers
will be more mouths to fill and a stead Y
market for oil tie products OF the farm,
garden and orch,rd. A bright day is
dawning for the South, which is at pres
ent, in the trust sense, the lad OF
promise.
