Many of Them Will soon Leave Uncle
Sans Service.
Practically all of the Sioux who en-
listed in the regular army about three
years ago will shortly be at home again
on their reservation leading the old
and indolent life. A Fort Meade cor.
respondent of the Sturgis Advertiser
says that by the middle of this month
the greater number Of the Indians of
Troop L, Third Cavalry, the best In
dian troop in the service. stationed at
Fort Meade, will have taken advantage
of the three months furlough granted
under the provisions of Generals Or
ders No. 81 of 1890, and will return to
the reservation, and at the expiration
of their furlough it is expected that
they will take their dlscharg e. Should
such be the case the troop will have to
be recruited NJ disbanded. The pre-
vailing opinion among q great many
seems to be that the Indians will never
be satisfied with the restraints impos-
ed upon them as soldiers, and that up
on the completion of their three
years. service they will be only too
glad to quit the service of Uncle Sam
and return to their original pursuits
Some of the Indians of Troop l. those
who have served both as SOL
diers and %scoutsl, when questioned up
on the subject said those of their
brethren who are about to take their
furloughs and return to Pine Ridge
Agency will weary of their old life and
be dissatisfied and anxious to return to
army life before the expiration of their
leave.

Don't Like the Decision.

Streator. ILL.,, special: The miners
in this district are indignant at the
action of the Columbus conference.
They say they went into the strike to
maintain last years prices and are
now compelled to take a reduction.
When the action of the conference is
received officially u convention of the
miners of the district will be called.
1t is more than probable that it will
decide to remain out rather than ac-
cept the terms. 4. leading operator
expresses the opinion that the men
will stay out until it will be too late to
make contracts. and that the entire
northern coal fields of Illinois will be
idle all summer ut least.
