A special dispatch to the New York
Evening Post from Raleigh, N. c., says:
"There has been disposition manifested
on the part of large number OF the Pop
ulist memb bers Of the Legislature to give
women the right to vote on certain occa-
sions and make them eligible to certain
offices. A bill to require that one mem
ber of the school committee in each coun-
tv shall be woman was defeated in the
Senate by vote of 26 to 10. A large
number of women were spectators in the
Senate galleries when the vote was taken,
and when the result was announced they
loudly spplauded, thus illustrating what
ia generally known-that the white Wo-
men of North Carolina, and the South
generally, are opposed to female suffrage,
and are not in favor Of members OF their
sex holding public Office"

It may be interesting to the read.
ers Of your paper to hear the
news about the Nez Perce reserva-
ton?
| have just returned from Wash
ington, D. G. The Indian depart
ment is now ready to pay the Nez
Perce Indians $626,222. The pay
roll is now in Washington, and the
department will act promptly.
Besides the payment there will
be $4,000 expended for two steam
saw mills, for the benefit of the
tribe; $2,400 for surveyor for two
years, and $4,000 to pay the Lang
ford heirs for GAO acres Of land on
the reservation known as Rev.
Spaulding's missionary claim.
There are little over 1000 In
dians, who are to be paid per capita
inside of six weeks from date. Is
suing of the patents for allotine
lands will follow, this will COM
plete the opening of the reserva-
ton.
However, the Indians will re-
serve $4,000 acres of timber lands
and over 100000 acres is sold to
the government.
Any time after the first payment
and issue Of patents, the President
Of the United States can proclaim
the long desired lands thrown open
for settlement. | suppose the
whites will not be satisfied with
surplus lands allotted to Indians
for such is their greediness.
Who can tell the true fate of the

But there are still strong hopes
when it is remembered that there
are some good white people living
who are always ready to hear the
faintest grons of the oppressed peo

ACIose Call.

Says the Milton Eagle: Otis
Ingal had a narrow escape from
serious injury Wednesday afternoon
and it happened in this way: The
big storm Of Monday badly wreck
ed his fathers barn, leaving por-
tion Of the roof intact. Otis had
toiled YEARLY in the field all day.
When the windstorm of Wednes-
day, which was no slouch of a
breeze itself, came along he hurried
to the remains Of the barn and was
speedily embarrassing his team.
Just then the wind struck the de-
nolished structure and carried
away the roof, which struck one Of
the horses, a fine animal, killing il
instantly, and barely missing the
young gentleman himself, who is
at present very thankful that he
did not share the fate of his un.

Land Case from umatiIIa County

In the United States circuit court
Tuesday Judge Gilbert rendered a
decision in the case Of J. NJ. Butler
VS.. Lucy Sehafer ct al, on q demurr
to the complaint. Butler took up
100 acres of unappropriated land
in Umatilla county as a home
stead. At the same time defend
ants were in actual procession Of
the same, but their possession, it is
claimed, was and is without legal
or equitable rights. Defendants
claim to have settled on the land
with intent to secure title by pur-
chase from the Northern Pacific
Railroad Co., when it should have
earned title by compliance with
the act of congress granting it said
land. It was contended by com.
plant that the court would be call
ed upon to decide what is the ma
ture Of the settlement upon rail
road lands which are intended te
be protected by the act. Defend.
ants demurrer was sustained and
the case will come up again on am.
ended complaint.

the gun barrel was of such force
that it passed through the forge
fire, scattering the Goals to the four
points Of the compass, and imbed-
ded itself in the wooden walls of

IN THE FAR NORTH.
A Letter describing the Land Of the
Midnight Sun.

sWtuHt6HL 1uHs
The following is from the pen Of
one who is seeking his fortune in
the frozen lands Of the midnight
sun, written to a friend residing in
this county:
YUKON RIVER, Alask, Dec. 23rd,
1894.
"We are way up on the headwat-
Ters of the Yukon, and some idea Of
the isolation may be gained if / re-
late a few facts concerning our sit
uation. Our location is 800 miles
from any post. Our mails are re-
ceived and sent during the winter,
when miners come in or gO'out.
All the summer is devoted to work,
and we are cut off from ali COM
munications with the outside world.
In coming here 700 miles must be
travelled with sleds and dogs, and
the cost ofgetting o letter out is, on
the average, $40. The country is
rough and mountainous, covered
with a growth ofbushy timber, and
the ground is mostly covered two
feet deep with moss. The ground
is frozen solid all the year except
during July, August and Septem-
ber and covered with snow from
November to May. At present the
thermometer registers 10 below,
and to protect ourselves we wear
heavy fur garments in winter and
heavy Mackinaw in summer. On
the Yukon are 1000 white men,
1000 Indians, and 15 to 20 white
women, the last mostly employed
in saloons.
| Wages for miners are $40 per
day for the four working summer
months, and Sc per day in the win
ter. Some make fortunes of from
( $1,000 TO $4,000, butionly few,
for money goes easy, and prices for
supplies may be judged from these
figures. Tea, 81 per pound; coffee,
the same; bacon, rs cents to 81 per
pound; -four $40 PEI 100 pounds,
and everything else in proportion.
"There are no Eskimos here, but
Indians frequently come to trade.
This is a hunters paradise, moose,
caribou, wolves and foxes abound
ing. In December the sun raises
at II a, m. and sets at D. M,
while in some deep canyons It will
not be seen during the entire day.
Then, at the opposite season the
reverse is true, and the sun scarce
| ly hides his face at all.
"We go north soon, so miles to
some rich diggings we have heard
of. You need not write before next
March, as male leaves juneau for
| Upper Yukon no earlier"

He has discovered disease re-.

edies we're tried. Mr.. Rigby final
ly gave them lye and that proved
efficacious. Mr.. Rigby today

INDIANS NOT CITIZENS.
In the Mind of the Commissioners of
indian Affairs.

The commissioners of Indian af-
fairs take different view from the
United States courts, that have rul-
ed that no prosecution would stand
against man for selling. liquor to
Indians who under the allotment
act had taken lands in severalty,
says the Portland Sun. The courts
have held that this act of the In
dian under the law admitted him
to citizenship; therefore the red
men can exercise his rights of citi.
zenship by purchasing and imbi-
ding as much 'tangle foot" as his
pale face brethren.
The commissioner is not in ac-
cord with this decision, for while
the lands is allotted to the Indians
he is not allotted to dispose of it
for 25 years, and during this time
he is under the protection of the
government and under the super
vision of the Indian department.
The commissioner regrets that con-
gress failed to pass any law to meet
this new question. He hopes to see
a law passed by the next congress
meeting this phase Of the case, and
providing that SO long as an Indian
IS under the care Of the govern
ment, whether on allotted land or
not, he shall be considered an In
dian as Of yore, and that it shall
be crime TO sell him liquor,
The commissioner is opposed to
further allotment until such a law
is passed, and states that future
donation Of the reservation to In
dians will be discontinued, as the
authorities believe, under the rul-
ing of the courts, allotments will do
more harm than good and reduces
the good intentions of the govern
ment to a farce.
Under the present order of things
the Indian commissioner is power
| less to act. Judge Bellinger's de.
cision on this subject is in accorG
with other federal judges. An ap
peal has been taken to the court o
appeals. Should he be sustained, th'
only remedy to right the situation
| will be in congress.

which they were accused of assault
with intent to kill, was first brought

who effected the capture and the
defendants. particulars of which
were given in the PRESS last week,
Henry Parr appeared in his own
behalf, and after conducting the
cross examination, was placed on
the witness stand to relate his
story of the capture. He pleaded
timidity at the time Of the chase,
and naively tcld the court Of the
danger he felt in being hunted
down by a band of bold, bad In
dians, and the lawful privilege he
employed in self defense against SC
treacherous q following.
The defendants, having resided al
their lives among these Indians
without any serious results did moi
succeed in satifying the courts as
to the justice Of their acts, even al
critical moment, and after listen
ing to their appeal, the court bounG

ready mentioned, was made by th'
