Washington. Dec. 1.-THE annual re-
port of Secretary of the Interior Fran
els has this to say concerning the I'm
compahgre reservation: The commits
sion having reported that it could not
procure an agreement from the Uncom-
pahgres 10 pay sips per acre for lands
allotted them, and that nothing more
could be accomplished by ii, was, by
order of my predecessor, relieved from
further duty on February 4 last. 1t is
my judgment that some legislation
should be enacted whereby the people
of the United States can, at an early
date have the benefit of these val
liable and useful deposits. If the lands
containing them were owned by an in
dividual or corporation instead OF by
the government, business methods
would be pursued in disposing of them;
they would be sold to the highest bid
der at public auction, or by sealed
bids. or would be leased, or the right
to work deposits would be granted for
a consideration in shape of ROYALTY or
otherwise Such lands are different
from agricultural, timber or coal lands
It is claimed that a considerable por-
ton of the Uncompahgre and Ulntah
reservations, known as Lava BEDS,
contain a substance called "elaterlte,
which, with a solution recently discoV-
cred, makes valuable paint or in

how the lands allotted can be paid for

that authorit-r be given such commits

remaining portion of the lands of the

sponsible parties for the working of the
deposits in order that government may
be fairl-- COMPENSATED, and to the end
that the public may enjoy the benefit
of a highly useful gift of nature. If
these lands were the property of the
Indians, there could be no question
as to the above described method being
the proper one to adopt in the dispo-
sition thereof. In my opinion, however
the Indians have no interest in these
Utah lands. IF there is not sufficient
agricultural land within the limits OF
the Utah reservations to provide for
their allotment under the agreement
of 1880 government would be under
obligation TO furnish agricultural lands
elsewhere for allotment TO the Uncom-
pahgres

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
May Wheat Closes at PTS Decline

May Wheat Closes at 2 rs Decline
Pork Lower.
Chicago, Dec. Yesterdays closing
buoyancy in wheat was in contrast
with that market today. With an utter
disregard oe our action shown by
Liverpool. and with some increase in
the northwestern arrivals-449 cars
against 554 last Friday, and 936 year
ago-this market found it impossible
to sustain prices attained yesterday. AT
the start the trading was at figures
but slightly above the put" price, and
it was only a few moments until those
privileges were passed in the decline.
Chicago received 20 cars and inspected
out 1852 bushels. The weakness con-
tinued throughout, the lowest point be
ing reached near the close. The last
half hour witnessed some panicl1y sell
ing and almost an entire lack of de-
mand. MAJ wheat opened from S3A

Corn declined in price through the
sympathy existinS between it and
wheat. The loss was not so great as
in the leading market, but it was &C
Companied by quite as much weakness.
Receipts We're 265 cars, and 1905 bush
els were taken from store. Exports
were liberal ar $40, 593 bushels. May
corn opened from 26ss TO 2614, declined
to 261s@2614, closing at the inside-14@
sc. under yesterday.
Oats-The depression of the other
grains found reflection in oats. The
trade was of a dull and embarrassing
sort. and prices were lower Receipts

taken from store. Exports We're 7S,S7S

Estimated receipts for tomorrow. 200

The only case of scarlatin which a
prominent physician acknowledges to
have lost was one in which the disease
was communicated by a letter written
by a mother Tin whose family there
were two cases. TO a friend 100 miles
away. The envelope of that letter was
given to a child as a plaything. The
child died from the same disease and
this seems TO have been the only pos
sible means of infection.

there promises to be some little trou-
BILE in getting the new educational law
into practical working order this fall,

measure, and Mr.. Campbell proposes
to have such amendments made to
both school and factory laws next
winter as shall make the laws here
after of mutual benefit,
He proposes to have children apply
ing for work hereafter not only to pre-
sent certificates from their parents,
stating that they are of the full age
required by Pennsylvania law, but
also to have them present certificates
from their teachers showing that they
have attended school tor at least the

Army-worm & Locust.

The terrible army-worm, now devas-
tating our fair fields, brings to mind
Mary Howitt's lines on the Locust
which lines fit either pest pretty well.
THE LOCUST.
The Locust is fierce and strong and grim,
And an armed man is afraid Of him;
He comes like winged shape of dread,
With his shielded back and his armed head,
And his double wings for hasty flight;
And keen unwearying appetite.
He comes with famine and fear along,
An army million million strong;
The Goth and the vandal, and dwarfish Hun,
With their swarming people, wild and dun,
Brought not the dread that the Locust brings,
When is heard the rush of his myriad wings.
From the deserts ofburning sand they speed,
Where the lions roam and the serpents breed,
Far over the sea, away I! away!
And they darken the sun at noon of day.
Like Eden, the land before they fired.
But they leave it desolate waste behind.
The peasant grows pale when he sees them
come,
And standeth before them weak and dumb;
For they come like raging fire in power,
And eat up harvest in half an hour;
And the trees are bare and the land Is brown
AS if trampled and trod by an army down.
There is terror in every Monarchs eye
When he hears that this terrible foe is nigh,
For he knows that the might of an armed
host
Cannot drive the spoiler from out his coast,
And terror and famine his land await,
That from North to South twill be desolate.
Thus the ravening Locust is strong and grim,
And what were an armed man to him ?
Fire turneth him not nor sun prevents,
He is stronger by far, than the elements
The broad green earth is his PROSTATE prey,
And he darkens the sun at the noon of day

The Cake Does It's Work,

Among the numerous "speak-easies"
in Butler township, there is one at the
Rap conducted by widow that has a
peculiar style of advertising its wares.
According to resident of that local
ity when stock is on hand a sweet
cake, such as is sold in the stores, is
placed in the window of the ''sheeben"
and when the place is dry the cake is
removed. The sign never fails in its
alluring qualities, and its meaning is
thoroughly understoon by lovers of a
"sup" who prefer giving their patron
age to places of this kind rather than
to legitimized hostelries.

DOWN A MINE BREACH.
Two Young Men Meet an Awful Fate Near
Tamaqua.

The people of Gerrytown and Tama
qua started about half.past o'clock
last Tuesday afternoon by a rumbling
sound, similar to the forerunner of an
earthquake. 1t came from the direc-
ton of the mountain side, where there
are a number OF mine breaches that
had caved in eight years ago when the
pillars were robbed in the first life of
No. II colliery of the Lehigh Valley
Coal and Navigation Company. Many
people went to the place and found a
little girl standing on the brink of a
new chasm that had been formed by
one of the old breaches re-opening.
The child was crying and at first was
so frightened that she could not tell
anything and mutely pointed to the
ugly hole. After she was Quilted and
soothed by tender-hearted by-standers
she was able to tell her story.
Like many old mine breaches this
one had become filed with 4 rank
growth Of bushes, and huckleberries
bounded there. She said that Freder-
ick Losch and John Akin and herself
had come there and that when they
reached the cave-in the men told her
to stay behind while they went into it
to pick some berries. They had not
been down more than a few minutes
when the earth opened and they dis
appeared from sight. The ground
shook terribly, the child said, when
the cave-in occurred.--AShlaRdL L0eaL

A Story Of Mayo.

Like every actor, Frank Mayo had
EXP. rlences not of a pleasant character.
This story is one of his early ones, that
of his forced resignation from the stock
company of Maguire's theater i'll San
Francisco, because, as of the friends
of Rolla in the once popular play
''Fizarro. " he cheered too soon. Junius
Drutus Booth, the younger, was acting
Rolla. The crowd was to cheer at the
word "'change''-''no such change as
they can give us''-but as the word oc.
Cured twice in the same sentence, the
enthusiastic young super anticipated
his "cue" by breaking into a lusty
''Hurrah!' that shook the rafters. The
audience and even the actors laughed.
The scene was SO completely spoiled
that the curtain was run down. Booth
was furi, 5. He looked upon the mis-
hap as objectionable and demanded that
the youth-Frank was only Is them
should be discharged from the company.
Tom Mcguire, always gentle in deal
ing with the young men of the stage
when he had unwelcome news for them.
told him that Mr.. Booth would leave
the theater unless he was discharged.
II leave it to you. my boy" said Ma
guire, ito decide in this emergency
whether the infant stage in California
is to lose one Of its most brilliant
lights" Mr.. Mayo used to say with a
broad smile that the only consolation
that the incident afforded him was the
fact that he was called on thus early i'll
his career to decide whether he or the
star should leave the company Buffalo

Tho Man Who Bets.

A story is related Ct a farmer who
came into q village grocery i'll IL OF
our western states and exhibited to an
about q inches long, which was laid by
one Of his old hens. He had it packed
in cotton and wouldn't allow anybody
to handle it for fear of breaking the
phenomenon. The grocery man examin-
ed it with the rest, and. intending to
chaff the country man, said. "Pshaw,
I've got something i'll the egg line that
will beat that!' "I'll bet you IS you
haven't!'' said the country man, getting
excited. Take it up!' said the grocery
man, and. going behind the counter, he
brought cut II wire egg heater. There's
something in the egg line that will
beat it, | guess, said he, reaching for
the stakes. Hold on theIei' said the
farmer. Lets see you beat it. And
he handed it to the grocer. The latter
held out his hand for it. but dropped it
in surprise on the counter, where it
broke two soup plates and a platter.
1t was of iron, painted white. "Some
folks think they are tarnation cute"
