INDIANS AND AGENT AT WAR.
Two Companies of Cavalry Ordered
to the Umatilla Reservation.

PENDLETON, Ore. March 9.-Two COM
panies of the Second Cavalry from Fort
Walla Walla arrived here at o'clock on a
special train and will be taken without de-
lay to Mission Station, on the Umatilla
Indian reservation, from which point they
will proceed to the agency near the station.
Indian Agent Harmer had been notified
from Washington that the troops were held
in readiness at Walla Walla, but kept his
counsel, saying nothing. until about the
time for the arrival OF the train when he
gave out the information that he had re-
quested the aid of the troops. He stated
the troops may be necessary to protect the
agency and whites on the reservation. At
fairs have been disturbed on the reservation
for some weeks on account of the disagree
ments of the officials and the Indians. The
Indian court, in the case Of indian onenses,
has exercised powers which the Indians
claim We're too arbitrary The matter was
brought TO an issue in civii case in a
suit against Brfsbough and others to re-
cover damages for an alleged assault com

counsel to sue out wrlts of habeas

This afternoon Judge Fee, of the State

Indians are citizens under the Dawes act,
entitled to all rights, privileges and i'm
munities of other citizens, except to the
alienation of their allotted lands on reserva-
lions, title to which was transferred sub
ject to trusteeship of the United States
government. The release of No Shirt and

the Indians they must not resort to violence

decision. This the Indians promised to do
and the head men say they will use their
influence to prevent any disturbance. The

The Attractive Cooking Exhibits
Of the Steel Range Majestic.

All thoughtful housewives know that
the cooking apparatus is the most inn
portant article that contributes to the
comfort and economy of a well-regu-
lated home On account of the SIM
plicity of it's construction. the perfec-
ton of the materials used. and the sci
entific operation CT the fire box and
over. the Steel Range Majestic does its
work of cooking and baking with one
half the fuel used in an ordinary stove.
These are a few of the points that
make the Majestic the modern cooking
range par excellence. There are a score
of points about the great range that
must be seen to be appreciated.
This week a cooking exhibit of the
Steel Range Majestic will be held at the
Worlds Fair, opposite the Capitol One
of the ranges can be seen there in opera
ton, and the statesmen sent here by the
factory will welcome every visitor COR
daily and explain the range 80 them.
We have music by the Majestic Man
dolin Club every afternoon. and refresh
ments of Majestic biscuits, baked in
three minutes IN the Steel Range Ma
jestic, and excellent coffee will be served
to all. Every lady in Indianapolis is in
vited to call. whether they wish to buy
a range or not. and each one will be
courteously entertained.

INSURANCE MEN AT OUTS.
Cannot Agree ON the Commissions to
BE Paid Local Agents.

ST. LOUIS. March 9.-The Western Union
of Insurance Underwriters held it's final
session to-day and a majority of the mem
bers left for home tonight. The next meet
ing will be held at Niagara Falls in Sep
TENDER. A local paper has this to say:
1T is claimed that the union has
taken radical action of any kind during
the present session, and that nothing but
Z harmony has been the rule. While nothing
Of a positive character can be learned, ow
ing to the disinclination of the members to
talk, 1t is known that about twenty mem
bers of the union failed to attend the pres
ent meeting and 1t is also stated that there
has been bitter fight at every session of
the union, a. fight which has not yet seen
it's end. The trouble has all grown out of
the question of commissions. The mode of
procedure. prior to March, 1894, was for
local agents to make their own terms with
the companies they represented as to com
missions. Rates were the same, but the
commissions varied according to the infiu-
ence and business capacity Of individual
agents. About that time, however, the
Western Union passed rule that there
after commissions wouiu not be paid in
excess Of 15 per cent, st; Louis agents
have failed to live up to 1t. Several local
agents represent both union and nonunion
companies and the Western Union, 1t is
stated, is now trying to force the local
agents to either conformto the rule and prac-
tice in regard to commissions or to give up
their nonunion companies, the real object of
the resolution being to force the outside COM
panies into ..e union. This question has
been argued at the present session of the
union and on it Is based the fight, which
Is very bitter. One feature of the night has
been the discovery that several of the COM
panieS in the union have not themselves
lived up to the commission rule, as they
found It would result In loss of business to
them. the local agents very naturally turn,
ing all the business they possibly could
in to the nonunion companies
Martin Collins of this city, general West
ern agent of a Philadelphia company, said,
however. that this meeting had had the
largest attendance of insurance officials of
any in the history of the association. Among
the prominent companies not heretofore
identified with the union. but which will
be numbered among its members in future
are the Penna Fire of Philadelphia and the
North British and Mercantile of England.
General Manager Washburn, of New York,
said that there was no ill-feeling whatever,
and all the members felt satisfied with the
result of this meeting.

GENERAL HARRISON'S ILLNESS.
His Physician Thinks He VIII Soon
Be Able to BE About.

DIR. Henry Jameson visited General Harri-
son last night about o'clock and found his
patient still improving. When interviewed
by Journal reporter after the visit, he
said:
General Harrison's temperature was prac-
improved in every way. With proper rest
and care there is no reason why he should
not again be at his work in a short time,
probably in a few days. For two or three
days he was quite ill with some serious COM
plications of grip and threatened pneumonia.
The disease affected his chest and head and
caused him much pain. A severe cough ac-
companied the disease. He was worn down
with overwork, so that rest is factor in
his recovery.
Mrs. Mckee arrived from the East last
night Her presence was desired. not be-
cause the family was allowed to fear fatal
results, but owing to her fathers desire to
have her wait on him.

Maggie Walker, young colored girl iiv-
ing at 307 Fayette street, created some ex-
element for a time in her neighborhood,
last night, by sprinkling sort of red paint
around the floor at her house and then
feigning Inconsistencies. Her mother had
been away from home at work, and when
she returned last night, about 3 o'clock,
found the girl lying in the middle of the
kitchen floor, with what appeared to be
blood stains on her hands and face and
on the floor about her Some newspapers
were lying near and these were sprinkled
with the red fluid. The mother supposed
the girl had been assaulted, and immedi-
ately summoned help. The girl was placed
a bed and efforts made to bring her
to consciousness but in vain. Finally, the
police department was notified and officers
were sent to the place to investigate. They
had DIR. Lambert sent to the place. The
doctor examined the girl, but could find no
bruises on her head or body. The red
fluid on her hands and face he readily pro-
nounced as something other than blood.
The girl was persuaded by the physician to
rally enough to say that she had been
struck on the head by some man because
she refused TO submit DR. Lambert stated
that he thought there was nothing in the
story of the girl He said that there were
no indications whatever of her having been
assaulted. she claimed, but that she had
in all probability made a mixture of red
powder and water and placed it on herself
and feigned Inconsistencies just for little
excitement
