desired to visit the retreat on the next Sunday

because he caught the Postmaster's brother.
James Dunn. opening letters not belonging to
him which contained money. Postmaster
Dunn says 1t is not SO. but that Sanders was
dismissed for cause. Further than this tho
Postmaster was non-committal. Sanders says
that when he found that Dunn was opening
letters not belonging to him he wrote to the
Post Office Department at Washington. and
an inspector was sent here to investigate. A
number Of decoy letters were sent through the
mails and some OF them were intercepted. and
while James Dunn was not caught. the suspi-
cion was so strongly against him that the
Postmaster was ordered not to let him enter
the Office. Sanders says that he demanded q
further investigation as q protection to HIM
self and was dismissed.
Postmaster Dunn denied that his brother
had been found guilty Of any irregularity. He
admitted that Sanders did cause an investiga-

INDIAN SOLDIERS NOT 4 SUCCESS.
They Might Make Good Soldiers Under
some Other System, However.

From he WashinotoR Evening Star.
The experiment initiated BY ex-Secretary
Proctor Of assisting In the civilizing Of the In
dams by their enlistment In the army has had
a two years trial and has failed. At its incep.
ton It was hoped that the movement would
receive the sanction and support OF Congress.
but the hope has not been fulfilled. The policy
has not been abandoned by the department,
Notwithstanding the absence Of Congressional
encouragement. but is slowly dying OF mani
ton, owing to the fact that the Indians who
took advantage OF the opportunity OF enter
ing the army are leaving 1t at the expiration OF
their terms Of enlistment and there are no
new enlistments. Many OF the Indians took
advantage Of the law permitting them to pur-
chase their discharge.
There were about 700 Indians in the army.
and this number has been reduced by the dis
handment OF two Indian troops. one at Fort
Walla Walla and the other at Fort Reno. which
had dwindled to loss than twenty men each.
There are about fourteen Indian companies.
averaging fifty men each. still in the service.
and they may be so reduced by natural causes
An officer OF high rank says these compa;
that the, department will do nothing to dis
courage further enlistment. 1t was settled.
however. that the experiment as at present
conducted is failure. and that the only posi-
BILE solution Of the Indian soldier prolem Is
their organization into an auxiliary branch OF
the army. modelled after the system ON ployed
by the British army in the matter OF tho native
troops Of India. 1t Is clear. he said. that the
Indian o!dier. so far as military discipline IL
concerned will have to lie placed ON differ
ent plane from the white soldier.

who has butter and egg store at 1.370 Third

but offered TO reduce It to $50. George b. Boyd
appeared for Mrs. Wilson, and declared that
Clark had not been authorized to bring the
suit, and that Mrs, Wilson did not want q
divorce or counsel Zee.
Hrs. Wilson sat in the court room with Miss

the complaint prepared by Clark. Tho Judge

Turning to Clark. Judge Dugro denied the
application. Clark fought hard and insisted
that he had lien as an attorney for his

Lawyer Clark says he will appeal. His story
is that he was introduced to Mrs. Wilson at the
