Judge j. ii. burns, the ~favorite lawyer
among the Sioux Indians, has recently
made a trip to Pine Ridge and Rosebud
Indian agencies, where he attended some
important councils of the reds. He says
the condition of the Dakota Indian is
fast improving. Some restless and lawless
characters are continually airing their
supposed grievances, but: they are largely
in the minority and are being Gained
down by the agents and steady-going reds.
The worst of these lawless fellows are
expelled. Judge Burns says the Indians
are getting the idea that they must sooner
or later become self-suppOrting, and are
taking a philosophical view of the situa-
ton and are going to farming and stock
raising at once. Judge Burns has accepted
an invitation to deliver the Grafton on July
4th, and he says fully 5000 Indians will be
there to celebrate.

After eulogizing the work and progress
Of the university and referring to the la

archbishop spoke at considerable length
on Christian education, of what it con.
sisted, the need Of it and the means best
calculated to obtain it. Referring to the
question of education and religion, he said
that education should be made up of both
secular and religious knowledge, which
should be inseparably connected. After

can Clubs. President Tracy, of Chicago,
then delivered the annual address, which
was Il review of events political since the

Democratic administration and policy and
Il cautious reference to silver. an enlarged
use of which, the speaker said, everybody
advocated. but how to bring this about
was the queStiOn-One of economies, not
politics. He impressed upon the conven-
ton, however, that it was not its business
to select candidates or prOmulgate plat
forms, but to elect the former and pro-
mote the latter.
President Tracy was applauded all
through his speech and at its close. Then
the preliminary business of the convention
was rapidly done. The secretary an
nounced that there were represented at
the convention fOrty-six States and terri
tories, the largest number ever represent
ed at any convention of the league. Among
the delegates were a number of ladies,
four from Colorado. one from New York,

in the modern Babylon, the capital of the
great British Empire. 1t is an event
which marks an epoch in the history of hui
mainly; an event which shows that hui
man society is beginning to flow in new
and nobler channels.
It was in 1873 that a number of farm
ers' wives rose up in revolt in Ohio against
the village saloon system. Times were
hard, crops were poor, and the few dol
lars which the husband spent across the
bar represented a pair of shoes for the
wife and i new dress for the ragged
daughter. 1t was no mere moral spasm;
1t was no sudden burst Of prohibition prin-
ciples; it was the dire necessity of daily
bread. The women took counsel together,
and then acted. Their action within nine
ty-six hours developed into and became
known all over the United States as "The
Crusaders" There vas no unanimity at
first in either plan or performance. In
some communities they merely prayed
and sang; in others they resorted to moral
suasion; in some they held indignation
meetings, and in others fell back on brute
force. AS the war progressed it was soon
noticed that prayer and praise, persuasion
duu pOlteueSS, kINuneSS ana ScnlleQeSS
had gathered a rich harvest, where the ak
ind the club, the mob and the petard, the
missile and the dynamite cartridge Of
speech had resulted in naught but harm.
It was a victory for Christianity and true
temperance. And the victors organized
upon this basis, Christianity and temper
ance, and thus took their name. This Is
how the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, the now famous w. G. T. u, came
into being.
The recent session of the Worlds Tenn
perance Union marks the elimination Of
the greatest demonstration Of teetotalers
that has ever taken place. The two hun
dred temperance mass meetings which
were addressed by the members of the
woman's temperance associations Of the
United States, England and other coun-
tries were even more of a success than
had been anticipated, and it is probable
that the demonstration will have no little
influence" in the political world. The ses-
sion of the British association was pre-
sided over by Lady Henry Somerset, who
in an address extolled the work for the
cause of morality in the large cities of
the United States. Hundreds of visitors
from America were present.

SWEPT BY
Three Distinct Storms DO Much Da m
age in the West.

N'
Monday evening Il cyclone struck Hart
ford, Kan, coming from the southwest,
and sweeping everything from its path,
which was clean cut and about 100 feet
in width. Several persons were injured
so badly that they are not expected to
live. No one. rs far as known, was killed
outright. The storm after passing through
the town to the east seemed to jump the
Nc0sho river and then rise and disappear
in the air.
\ very heavy rainstorm prevailed
throughout Nebraska the same day. In
the southern portion it was accompanied
by high winds. and in Richardson County
a cyclone did great damage to property
and crops. No loss of life has been re-
ported yet. There were miraculous es-
capes and considerable loss of live stock.
The storm was first seen when three fun
mel shaped clouds came together and merg-
ed into one.
Monday morning a heavy windstorm
passed over Crawford County, Ia, and at
places assumed the proportions of a cy-
clone. The storm was worse in Paradise
township, near Konwood. The house of
John Rose was demolished and Mrs. Rose
died from injuries received. Mr.. Rose
had his shoulder dislocated. Their baby
was carried some distance from the house,
but was found wrapped in a quilt I'M
harmed. The large barn of Joseph Dun
can was wrecked. August Eggers also
lost his barn and all outbuildings. The
McWilliams school house. three miles eas
Of Denison. was completely wrecked.

Judge Goffay of Pierre held a term of
court at Edmunds County. A blind pig
injunction case was before him, and as
usual in such cases the witnesses showed
a dense ignorance in regard to what they
secured to drink in the place; not being
able to tell beer from cold tea. Several
captured bottles were in evidence and the
Judge decided he could tell what the coli
tents were. Securing a cOrkscrew he put
the matter TO a practical test, declared the
bottles contained beer, and granted the
iMinNrtlOn.

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-12-16

The anthracite coal trade says the Black
Diamond, is certainly ON a tirmer basis than
for long while and we would draw atten-
tion to the fact that all rail shipments to the
west are behind those Of last year and also
that there is not that tendency to obligate
the companies down to hard and fast prices
for future delivery, as was the case last year
and which tended to great extent to fix the
prices and demoralize the market for 1895. 1t
is also reported that the mines are running at
less time and any movement resultant in
overproduction will be sedulously avoided.
Here, too, is another feature Of the trade,
and that is that the country element will be
taking more fuel this year than last, or in
1894, in consequence Of the fact that they are
in position through good haryests to lay in
supply of fuel where last year they were
burning wood or scrub or anything that was
igneous"

SOFIA Dec. 16-At the meeting of the
sobranje yesterday M. Neitchoff, a deputy,
opposed voting any money for the gov
ernment owing to its attitude upon the
religion of the heir apparent, Prince Boris,
who, according to the announcement
made to n deputation of the sobranje by
his father, Prince Ferdinand, is to be bap-
tized in the Orthodox Greek (Russian)
church. The president ordered M. Neitch-
off to desist but the latter persisted, and
the president and government officials
thereupon left the chamber When the
president returned he was greeted with a
great tumult, and again retired, but he
soon returned and ordered the removal
from the chamber of NJ Neitchoff The
ushers were attacked and beaten and
finally expelled by some Of Neitchoff's s
friends and partisans, while others Of
them led M. Neitchoff out of the house.
The president declared that he would re-
sign, and left the chair, but was literally
carried back by a majority of the deputies
