TRYING A DIFFERENT MOVE.
How the Action of Two Kickers May Lead
to Raising the Boycott.

Chicago, Feb. THE announcement
made by the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Rio Grande Western that they
would not join the Western Trunk Line
committee, has had the effect Of throw
ing that organization on its beam ends.
1t is thought, however, that the embar-
rassment will be only temporary, as the
Rock Island and Burlington have both
notified the Rio Grande Western that
they are willing 1t should raise the boy
colt on round trip business, reading in
one direction over the Union Pacific.
The Union Pacific has declared that
when this is done, it will join the COM
mittee, and the minute it signs the
agreement, all the important western
lines which have not already joined
the committee, will come into the fold.
1t is expected that representative of
the Rio Grande Western will be in
Chicago within the next few days to
hold a conference with Chairman Cald-
well. and with representatives of the
Rock Island and Burlington. 1t is
hardly possible for the committee to
make much progress pending the out
come Of this conference.
Chairman Caldwell today issued a
complete list of all those entitled to
clerical half fare permits during 1895
The list is greatly reduced from that or

Anxiety While Dying OF m IndiAn Woman
to Fulfill Her Promise.

to Fulfill Her Promise.
A woman on the West Side whose early
predictions created prejudice against
Indians is now friend of the decayin
race 1t came about in a pretty way, and
the incident has also a sorrowful tinge. A
Sioux Indian and his squaw, whom the
woman's husband had known out west,
were returning from Europe. where they
had been as attaches Of Buffalo Billie Wild
West When they came to Chicago, they
stopped over a day and hunted up the
paleface whom they had known out west.
He hired carriage and took them out to
his home, which surprised his wife not q
little, and there they were entertained.
The squaw spoke no language but her own.
Her man knew enough English to make
himself understood. Both were In their
visiting colors. They didn't like the blue
points and oysters, but when the roast
beeftwo- hawt was brought on the eyes Of
the squaw bulgtd out. and she clapped her
hands. She devoured it slice by slice and
In q manner calculated to shock the wife
of the paleface.
After dinner the squaw sang for the
paleface woman and her papooses to show
gratitude. Then, through her man, she

and stand on sheet Of paper. The squaw
took a bit of pencil and drew the shape Of
the feet. The squaw's man informed the
paleface woman that she would make and
send her a pair of split bead moccasins
from the tepee as soon as they could be
made. The Indians went away that night,
westward bound, and months passed by.
The West Side wife playfully chided her
husband about his lavish entertainment CT
the reds and their mock gratitude. He
said, Wait" In a year from the time Of
the visit a package was delivered to the
house. 1t was opened, and there were the
split bead moeeasins made by the squaw.
There also was the information that she
had died about the time the moccasins
were completed.
In crude sort OF way, but all the more
tender on account OF its simplicity, the
Indian explained that his squaw would
have sent the moccasins sooner, but she
had been sick, and her work had been de-
layed, and that she was afraid she would
not live to keep her word to the paleface
woman who had entertained her with such
good wohaw.
There were some tender words spoken
in the home of the West Side paleface that
night, and even now, when the wife of the
paleface tells the incident, there is slight
formulation in the lips and a moisture
about the eyes.-Chicago Times.
