viii be Thrown Open.

In response 10 a number of Inquiries
regarding the opening Of the Tie In
dian reservation. the following from
the Ogden Press viii fully answer:
President Cleveland has affixed his
signature to the Indian appropriation
bill. This means that preliminary steps
will at once be taken to throw open
nearly four million acres Of Indian res
eTvation lands. comprised in the Cintah
and Uucompahgre reservations in the
eastern part Of the territory.
The importance to Utah Of this great
addition 10 the public domain cannot be
oyerestimated. Inquiries are already
pouring in from hOme-seekers Ill every
part OF the union particularly from the
famine-stricken sections Of Nebraska
and Kansas, and thousands Of cOlOnists
will be attracted to the territory.
The legislation authorizing the open
ing of these reservations was attached
to the Indian appropriation bill as a
rider, the original measure having been
introduced b. Delegate Rawlins in the
house as d separate bill. The president
is directed to appoint three commission
ers, whose duty it shall be to alIOt land
in severalty 10 the Uncompahgres and
treat with the Uintah Utcs for relin-
quishment Of their rights. These com
missiOner5 are to receive compensation
at Sc per day, and are authorized to ap.
point clerk and tx his salary. subject
to the approval Of the secretary Of the
interior.
Delegate Rawlins. in explaining the
course Of procedure to he pursued,
states that the commissioners, imme-
diately after they are appointed, would
commence tine work Of alIOtting lands
in scveralty to the UncOmpahgres. The
Uncompahgres agreed to such allOt-
meut by a treaty entered into in 1880,
AS soon as the al.Otments have been
made the commissioners VIII so report
to the secretary Of the interior, and the
remainder Of the lands will then be
thrown open. Mr.. Rawlins thinks this
will he effected i'll less than year.
The commissioners Will then treat
with the Uinlahs for the REIMBURSEMENT
Of their rights, This tribe has occupied
the Uiutah reservation since 1862, and
their title, acquired by occupancy, must
be eXtinguished by the government.
They doubtless exact a money consider
alton, in addition to lands in seVeraity.
When the terms have been agreed upon
the commissioners wiIIrepOr' the treaty,
which, in this case, must be ratified by
congress. Al Of this viii require time,
and it may be that two years will elapse
before the Uintah lands will be thrown
open.

Peculiar to Itself.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to it
self, in a strictly medicinal sense in
three important particulars, viz: First,
the combination of remedial agents
used: second, in the proportion in which
they are mixed, third, in Che process by
which the active curative proper vies Of
the preparation are secured. These
three important points make Hoods
Sarsaparilla peculiar in its medicinal
merit, as it accompliBhes cures hitherto
unknown.
But it is not what we say but what
Hoods Sarsaparilla does, that tells the
story. What Hoods SarsapariIa has
done for others is reason for confidence
that it is the medicine for you.

A BATTLEFIEI.D INCIDENT.
How II French Soldier Saved nm
Enpmy's Life ut Iukerman.

1t was in 1855, the night OF the terrible
battle OF lnkerman. when the long DIS
putei fled had been taken and retaken
several times. that two soldiers lay dying
side by side on the ground. which was
saturated with blood: one was FRENCH
man, the other n Russian, writes NJ
Louis Viarlot the former had his chest
pierced by ball, the latter his leg
broken-possibly they had been struck
At the same time
Night came on, and with II the colo
Increased. the wounded men drew nearer
II each other and clasped hands. and
in some manner exchanged good wishes.
But soon the Russian. who shivered with
cod fell into n heavy slumber. and only
having his thin cloth coat over him this
sleep must have been fatal. When ne
awoke towards morning and gradually
recovered consciousness, he found him
SELF carefully wrapped In warm mill
tary great coat.
His unfortunate companion. feeling that
his hours were numbered. had had just
strength enough to take his own great
coat OF and wrap his new friend in 1t,
then. with a mind perfectly at rest. he
had lain down again and quietly breathei
his last. The wounded Russian was
taken u a hospital later the, same day
and In time ne recovered: but. as he

THE EXCITEMENT IN FRANCE

The excitement consequent on tho
cruel murder Of The lamented President
Carnot continues in many parts Of
France. and manifests Itself mainly in
attacks on Italians that are wholly I'M
reasonable. An Intense sensation was
caused In Paris yesterday by an unau-
thorized report published in one OF the
city journals. that NJ. Billot the French
Ambassador to Italy. had been ASA
snated at Rome. But tho Government
promptly ascertained the falsity Of tho
report. seized and suppressed the Journal
that had published It and tho excite
ment ceased.
At Lyons tho rioting following the
murder continues. and at 9rsnoble the
italian Consulate was wrecked. But the
Government IL doing its best to suppress
the unwarranted assaults on innocent
Italian residents. and Italy will, of
course, be disposed to make allowances
for the excited condition OF public mind.
The murderer. Santo, gives tho best
proof OF the little importance attaching
to his nationality by the boast that he ID
| nothing but an Anarchist. that he gio-
resin the title. and that his act was one
OF veng eance for the death of Ravachol
valiant and Henry.
The feeling against tho Italians will
no doubt become more reasonable after
| the election of the French President.

CLOSE OF THE sAENGERPEsT.

Since last Friday New York has been
afforded an excellent opportunity to
Judge Of the social qualities and law
abiding character OF the German Ameri-
can citizen. There have been festivals,
parades. amusements and excursions.
Every German resort has been crowded.
There has heen plenty Of fun and frolic,
for the Germans are u mirth-loving peO-
Pile. There has been n great consump-
ton Of lager beer. for the Germans like
lager. But everything has been orderly
and the streets have been free from row.
dyism.
one striking feature Of the German
American population is the practice Of
enjoying such occasions az this 5aenger-
fest in family groups. The German
takes his wife and children with him
when hs celebrates. and this has q hu-
manizins influence. Yesterday at Graves
end Bay the great excursion was rem
dered doubly enjoyable because the at
tendance was largely In family parties.
This German practice Is n good ono and
Is one OF tho reasons why the licensing
OF Sunday evening concert gardens finds
favor with so many people in New York.
The farewell gathering at Timer Park
was an enjoyable affair The prizes APP

ment and discretion. Everybody seemed
satisfied. tho night ended with spirited
and merry dancing. which was kept UT
until a late hour. Then the company
dispersed. the old folks we'll pleased

The export OF gold last year was made TO do
service as an argument against silver. Wall
