Make the Order Known Among Palefaces.
Along the Trail.
Nothing will strengthen your tribe and
increase its influence for good, says The
Wampum Belt, more than a social gather
ing of members and palefaces, at which ID
d quiet way the excellencies of our order
can be made known and the permanent
good will of the palefaces gained. Ignc-
rance of the origin and history OF our order
is one obstacle to its growth. Use all le-
Ultimate means to properly instruct pale
faces and avoid everything that tends to
bring ridicule upon the order or encourage
the idea that it is mere burlesque. Re
spect the order yourself, and others will do
likewise.
Remember in making your choice for
Junior sycamore that you are probably
electing your future sachem.
Degree work as now exempIif1ed in our
order is far superior to that Of past days
1t is not thought necessary to half kill

Indiana is one of the few reservations
showing a net gain for the fiscal great sun,

chiefs believe in wise and judiciously
liberal expenditure of wanapuln and ia
paying for good work well done.

MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
Democratic Senators Nesriy Caught
Napplng-Permanent ORGANIZATION.

Democratic Senators Nearly Caught
Napplng-Permanent Organization.
JEFFERSON CITY, Jan. 4.-The house
was called to order yesterday morn
ing by Temporary Speaker Pettijohn,
and proceeded Immediately to estab-
lish a permanent organization. Lit
tie interest was taken in the roll call
on the different officials, as the eau
Gus had settled what the outcome
would be. The vote on each of the
nominees stood about eighty for the
Republican candidate and fifty-four
for the Democratic, a strictly partisan
division of the mem bers present.
In the afternoon session of the
house little was done save 1isteni ng
to Speaker Russell read from type
written copy his speech of accept
ance of the speakership.
The session of the senate, although
short, came near surprising the old
time Democrats, who had never be-
fore had anything to fear on account
of small Democratic majorities. No
sooner had the senate been called to
order than Senator Cash nominated
G. T. Dunn of Lincoln, named by
Democratic caucus, temporary presi-
dent Senator Kennish placed in
nomination Senator O. Bannon of Dali
las county for the same position as
the Republican choice. A vote was
about to be taken when it was noticed
that four Democratic members were
absent. giving each party fifteen
mem bers present. After rustling
about the corridors another Demo-
cratic member was found. This was
enough to demand a recess until 2
o'clock, when the officers named by
the caucus were elected by the party
vote of nineteen to fifteen.

HOLCOMB INAUGURATED.
Nebraska's Governor Is Formally In
Quoted Into Office.

LINCOLN. Neb, Jan. 4.-Silas A.
Holcomb was formally indicted into
che Office of chief executive of the
state of Nebraska yesterday after
noon at o'clock. The Inaugural
ton ceremonies were of the simplest
and most informal character In
fact, there was but little of the
ceremonial in the proceedings.
Governor Crounse's message was of
more than usual length. and occupied
more than an hour in its delivery.
After he had finished a commit ee
escorted Chief Justice Norval to the
hall and the oath of office was adj
ministered to Governor Holcomb and
the other state officers. Cover
nor Holcomb then proceeded with his
inaugural message, which was listen
ed to with the closest attention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-When the
list of names of guests at the press
dents dinner to the cabinet was given
out last evening. the appearance
among them of the name of Senator
Hill, of New York, was received with
some incredu1ity. There had been no
intimation that the New York sem
ator was to be present, and when it
became known about town that Mr..
Hill was the guest of the president
the fact was at once the subject of
the greatest speculation. There had
been rumors that an understanding
had been reached between the presi-
dent and Mr.. Hill, but the presence
of the latter at the White house was
the first tangible evidence that the
rumors were probably authentic The
meeting between the president and
Mr.. Hill is said to have been very cor

SUGAR TO THE FRONT.
Efforts to Bring it Before the
Senate Again.
1t is Proposed to Abolish the
Diferential Duty.
MORE AMENDMENTS.
A Modification of the Income
Tax is Suggested.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A movement
was begun in the senate yesterday
looking to the amendment of the ur-
gency deficiency bill, which has not
yet been reported from the commit
tee, by adding several amendments
looking to the Improvement of the
present tariff law. Among the amend
ments proposed is one for the abo-
Etion of the one tenth additional diff
ferentia1 duty placed on sugar i'm
ported from countries paying bounty
and for the correction of the error
made in regard to the tax on alcohol
used in the arts, and third relieving
corporations of the provisions of the
income tax law requiring that they
shall furnish lists of their employees
to whom salaries of less than 81, 900
are paid.
Democratic leaders are especially
anxious that the two amendments
first mentioned should be enacted
into law during the present session.
1t was the purpose of the Democratic
members of the finance committee to
have dropped the one-tenth additional
discriminating duty on sugar from
the tariff bill in conference, but the
acceptance of that measure by the
mouse prevented this. The action OF
the European countries to which the
duty applies in excluding American
meats has had the effect of causing
this change to appear still more inn
portant than it did before the bill
became a law, and the Democratic
leaders would feel especially gratified
If it could be accomplished.
The duty of preparing these amend
ments has devolved upon Senator
Jones of Arkansas, but it is under
stood that they will not he presented
unless there appears little doubt of
their acceptance by the senate. Con-
sequently Mr.. Jones and other Demo
crBtic senators are canvassing both
sides of the cham Der for the purpose
of getting at the sen timent. If they
become convinced that the amend
ments can be agreed to they will be
introduced within the next two or
three days. They say, however, that
if it becomes evident that the Repub-
licans will make fight on them, they
will not present them at all, as with
only two months of the congress left
their passage could be prevented and
the appropriation bills would be inn
perilled to no purpose.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Railway
Gazette says: Locomotive building
is shown to have fallen off tremen-
dously in the past year, according to
our reports Of the outputs of the var
ious contracting works. The de-
crease in the number built is fully
two thirds, as compared with the
previous year. Reports from thirteen
companies make the total CPS locomo-
tives for 1894, against 2,O11 built in
1893. Three companies building near
ly ninety locomotives in 1893 did not
turn out a single new one in 1894
The record of the car-builders is
even worse than that of the locomo-
tive builders. In 1894 only seven COM
panies have reported as having built
any freight cars, the output being H.
o29 cars. In 1898 So 246 freight cars
were built by forty-three companies.

English HareS and Jack Rabbits.

Mr.. Henry Shepherd has recently
gotten some interesting additions to
his live stock. He got from Kansas
eight jack rabbits, three Of which were
quite young, and from New York he
obtained several English hares. He
has them in an enclosure at his home
in Shepherdstown, where he will keep
them until the herd has increased con-
siderably. Then he will turn them
loose upon his farm near here, with
the expectation of having fine sport
hunting them. The hares are little
larger than our common rabbits. The
lack rabbits are almost twice as blg'
and their long ears stand straight up
in very queer way. They have long
and slender legs, with which they can
get over the country after the style OF
the person who wore the seven-league
boots. The jack rabbits are somewhat
depressed on account of their long
Journey, but the hares are all right. s

Ready for Business.

Robert G. Miller has completed the
fence surrounding his skunk farm and
all things are now ready for the grow
ing CT the remarkable crop described
in the REGISTER week or two ago.
Tuesday evening the skunks that he
had in cages were taken out to the
farm and released in the presence of a
small but respectful crowd Of visitors.
Mr.. Miller recently received an inter-
esting letter from the proprietor of a
similar industry in New Jersey, who
said there was no disagreeable features
about the business such as is generally
supposed. His skunks were quite
tame, and he went in and out among
them and petted them as though they
were domestic cats. He thought he
would try the experiment Of removing
the scent pouch on one occasion, but 1t
was not success. He reports that
the animal died, and he came pretty
near expiring himself Since then he
lets them be as nature provided. Mr..
Miller wants about fifty skunks to
stock his place.
