VARIOUS VIEWS OF THE GOPHER


N cHulTEcl, u MAJ, Snhhe, anu % uEtAo
That Crackers Eat In Florida.
'1f you should ask man from the Ill.
inois prairies what gopher was he'd
tell you it was gray squirrel that bur-
rowed in the ground" said a man who
seemed to know what he was talking
about, according to the New York Sun.
IF you should ask the same question
of a man from the prairies further
west, he'd tell you gopher was
striped squirrel that lived in holes in
the ground. A Missouri farmer would
declare that gopher was a mole-footed
brown rat that digs its way under the
surface In that state. A man from
Georgia would probably surprise you
by the assurance that a gopher was
snake, and the Florida native would
unhesitatingly inform you that 60
pher was turtle. And the funny part
of it is that every one of them would be
right. A gopher is a gray squirrel
that burrows, a striped squirrel that
burrows, a rat that burrows, snake
that doesn't and turtle that does, ac-
cording to locality; but the most inter-
esting of these is the burrowing turtle.
"This turtle is peculiar to Florida and
is an important factor in the domestic

treaty provides that where any Indian
cannot cultivate his land or otherwise
use it advantageously it may be leased
for one or more years at time To
prevent the possibility of land sharks
securing possession Of the land, all
leases must be approved by the Indian

MASSAGE FOR BLACK EYES.
Better Than Paint and Beefsteak for OBJ
Uterating Evidence of Fistic Encounter.

Those who make business of oblit-
Grating evidence of fistic encounters in
the shape of black eyes by painting the
damaged optics no longer enjoy mon
opoly of such business. This l was
told by pugilistic acquaintance whose
experience entities him to be regarded
as an authority on the subject, says
writer in the New York Herald.
Massage treatment of the region af-
fected," he said, will beat paint and
raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should
be applied Immediately after the in
Jury is received in order to prove
thoroughly efficacious. 1t does not re-
quire an expert to do it. All that is
necessary is to move the fingers rapidly
and firmly over the bruised surface,
and to keep it up until the last vestige
of discoloration has disappeared. The
explanation is easy. Where the blow
has been received the blood becomes
congested. 1t is the clots of blood
showing through the transparent skin
that produces the black effect. The
pressure of the fingers gradually
loosens the clotted blood, which passes
off into the general current of circula-
ton, and fresh and properly colored
blood takes its place"
However, as rule, the professional
pug" does not bother himself about
accelerating the disappearance of a
black eye. 1t is sign which proclaims
the fact that its proprietor has recently
filled an engagement, and as such he is
an object of envy to his less fortunate
brethren. 1t is the man about town,
whose overindulgence occasionally
causes him to forget that discretion is
the better part of valor, who is apt to
profit most by the knowledge that mas
sage, promptly applied, will remove the
signs of mourning from an eye that has
been in violent contact with some other
fellows fist, and thus obviate the neces-
sity of inventing story to account for
it, which, however ingenious, will be
sneered at by skeptical and incredulous
acquaintance, some of whom may have
been there themselves"

MONEYED REDMEN.
Yankton Indians Who Are Well
Fixed Financially.
The Tribe Receives Large Sums OF
Money from the Government for
Lands Surreudered-Conditi
of the Purchase.

The treaty negotiated by the gov
eminent with the GanktOn tribe OF
Sioux Indians renders this tribe one of
the most wealthy in the country if
they exercise ordinary Judgment, says
a writer in the Minneapolis Tribune
The treaty was completed December
81, 1892, and by its provisions the In
dams will receive 100000 as payment
for the 10, 900 acres relinquiShed &c
the government, and to be opened to
white settlement whenever President
Cleveland issues a proclamation to that
effect, which will probably not be I'M
Gil next spring. Fifty-one Yankton In
dams acted ~as scouts for Gen. Alfred
Sully in 1864, and for additional com
pensation were by the treaty granted
1925 each, or a total of S11, AIS. This
amount has already been distributed
among them. The difficulty now ex-
listing is over the payment of 100000,
the first payment by the government
for the land surrendered. The treaty
saws the amount is to be paid and
divided among the Indians per capita.
The disbursing officer at the agency
commenced paying the Indians with
checks, as is customary, and this
caused a protest on the part OF the In
dams. It was understood among the
bankers in the adjoining towns that
the checks would be cashed without
discount, but the Indians appear not to
relish the trip which would be neces-
sary in going from the agency to any
of the towns. They want the amount
paid in cash at the agency. AS the
whims of Indians are usually acceded
to it is likely that they will win their
point
The remaining $500, 900, placed to the
credit of the tribe, will be payable to
the Indians at the pleasure of the
United States after the expiration of
TWENTY-FIVE years But during the trust
period of twenty-five years, if the ne
cessities of the Indians shall require it,
the United States may pay such part of
the principal sum as the secretary OF
the interior may recommend, but not
exceeding S2O,O in any one year. Upon
the payment of such sum the amount
shall be deducted from the principal
sum in the treasury, and the United
States shall thereafter pay interest on
the remainder Not to exceed $4,000
is to be expended each year for the
maintenance of orphans, the aged and
infrm, or such other helpless members
of the tribe as may be unable to take
care of themselves; and for schools and
educational purposes for the tribe; also
for courts of justice. Each person who
signed the treaty is to receive $40 gold
piece, struck in the year 1892, as a me-
mortal of the year in which the treaty
was negotiated. These Indians have
taken their allotments of land in
severalty, and it is the surplus which
is to be opened to settlement. The

A calm review OF Speaker Reeds new
House committees imprcsscs Us most
favorably; but especially does 1t imprcss
MS with two important and pleasing
facts. These are that the croakers who
have been fond OF alluding to this Con
gress as "a do-nothing' body have been
barking up the wrong tree, aud that Mr..
Reed has absolutely forgotten, In his ap-
pointments, any presidential aspirations
he may be nursing. The character OF the
committee men makes il impossible TO
look for negative ability alone from them,
and their geographical distribution dis
arms as once every charge of personal
bias on the part of the man from Maine.
That Mr.. Reed has thus far steered a
remarkably safe course, even his most
violent detractors cannot deny. He has
kept his mouth closed and his ears open.
with the net result that the hard work Of
the House has been placed In hands exccp-
tionally strong and unquestionably will
ing From the committees on ways and
means. on foreign affairs, on banking and
currency. on coinage weights and
measures on naval affairs and on sppro-
prations, will come the most important
legislatlon-or killing of legslation-of
the session. At their heads. respectively,
we find Mr.. Dingley, of Maine; Mr.. Hit
OF Illinois; Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts !;
Mr.. Stone OF Pennsylvania; Capt. Bou-
tello of Maine, and Mr.. Cannon of
Illinois; while Mr.. Payne, of New York,
heads the merchant marine and fisheries,
and Mr.. Henderson of Iowa, the judiciary
two decidedly important committees.
These are good appointments, but par
ticularly strong is the leading committee,
ways and means. Indeed, we doubt IL
the House of Representatives has ever had
in this little working body a list Of men
Of greater average ability, ripper experience
or sounder judgment. 1t is An ideal
group, ready to meet every emergency and
to shirk no responsibility. The remainder
of the committees bear the stamp of con
scientious selection, and il the speaker
has not done all that he would like to do
for few members of experience and
ability! he has done his best, and, in view
Of the perplexing national situation con-
fronting him In the eleventh hour of his
selection, has organized his working
forces with skill and breadth Of vision
on which he, as well as the country, is to
be congratulated.
Thus far Mr. Reed has disappointed his
enemies as keenly as he has gratifed his

USED A TRAINED HORSE.
A Eobbcr Rand That Captured Its Vic
tins In Novel Manner.

"when l was in Nebraska, near the
Snake river north of the-Ireat sand hill.
In 1889" said Lewiston citizen, I'VE had
four camps situated about IS miles apart
and TO go from Thorne's camp to Dunham
camp IL was necessary TO go through
long piece of pine woods. For number OF
months every one who had gone through
the woods alone never came back. One
day il was necessary that / should go
through with lot o. money and no escort,
and set out on horse that / got from
stable keeper near Thorne camp. When l
had nearly reached the woods five miles
out, my horse was taken Ill and foaming
at the mouth and refused to go on. Clear
" to my medical eye 1t had been poisoned
slightly by some one. A man not so well
up in medicine might not have known It,.
Soon what looked like hunter came along
on horse and offered to swap, taking
mine back to the stable IL would leave
his near Dunham camp with Lpper. /
ought to have seen thro' his, but
not.
II got on to she powerful horse of the
stranger and started through the five miles
of woods. Half way through, without ap-
parent reason, the horse broke into q trot,
a gailop and finally a run, and dashing of
the trail through the woods, picked his
way among trees rs nicely as If he had
gone that way 100 times. Pull as would
at the bride, he paid no attention, but
ran the faster When he had leaped a brook
and landed on the sand beyond, the marks
of footprints alarmed me, and slipped off
at the risk of my life. He ran on up ra-
vine and hid, fearing that it was trap,
Us it afterward proved. In a little while
three men armed with rifles came back on
the trail, one riding the horse, now as
calm as a lamb. l picked my way to tho
road and got TO the camp.
1.-Two weeks later 10 Of us followed o
man who hired horse at tho same place
did. 1t was taken i'll, and the same trap
per came along on the same horse. When
tho horse dashed into the woods as he had
been trained to do, 10 of us dashed after
him, and finally arrived at a mountain
camp Of the robbers. We took every man
seven of them, and-well law was not
well supported out there then, and no
court sat nearer than 900 miles. We didn't
carry the rlscals away from their own
campfire. The trained horse met the fate
of its owners. Lewiston Journal.
