Sugar Bounty Warrants.

Checks for the payment of the sugar
bounty claims were sent out by the

day. As fast as the warrants reached
Treasurer Morgan he signed them,
and as soon as they were disposed Of

sent out about forty of these warrants,
and that they are mailed to the claim

Friday by Walter L. Chamberlain to

Trouble in a Mining Camp.

New Pittsburg, q mining camp near
Nelsonville,. o., is the scene OF the
most intense religious excitement, bor-
dering upon fanaticism. The leaders
claim to be in personal commupication
with the Lord, and act under instruct
ions from him. Excitement is so high
that families have been broken up and
numerous fights have occurred over
the matter. The people have tried
every way to get rid of the fanatics.
but failed. Warrants were sworn out
to-day for the arrest of the leaders,
Mart Searles and, his two brother, and
when arraigned before the justice they
were furious, and denounced the court
in most bitter terms, insulting the
Justice in the highest manner, even
climbing upon the desk and splitting
upon him, The trio were finally placed
in Jail, and Mart was taken to the
Athens Asylum. The others will sure
" follow. Their followers number
about 150, some of whom have given
as high as $50 each upon being con-
verted. The more conservative peo-
pie predict that the trouble viii end In

Dawes, Indian Commission.

The Dawes Indian commission is
steadily at work in the Indian Terri
tory and is expected to complete its
labors by December. The Indians are
still filing applications for membership
in the tribes, and have until Septem-
Der 10 for doing this. Gen. Frank Q.
Armstrong, ex-assistant commissioner
of Indian affairs, and member of the
commission, is in Washington for a
few days. He says the prospects for
an early and satisfactory conclusion OF
the negotiations with the Indians for q
reorganization of their government,
through division of their lands in
severalty and other measures, was
never more favorable than now. The
Indians, he says, are beginning to un-
derstand to some extent that it is to
their interest to allow the reformatory
measures to be carried out, and many
of those who will not concede this re-
alize that congress is going to take
prompt action if the commission is not
successful in closing the long pending
matter. The Indians believe they will
fare better at the hands of the
commission than by acts of congress.
With this growing sentiment, Gen.
Armstrong expresses the belief that at
the coming sessions of the tribal coun-
cils some definite steps will be taken.
Other Indian officials, however, regard
this view as too sanguine. They say
that the Indians cannot be convinced
that change will better their condi-
tion, and, while hoping in the red
mems interest for an agreement, re-
gard it as likely that nothing will be
done until congress acts. Meanwhile
the commission is wedding out from
the mass of applicants for a share OF
tribal rights those not entitled to
them. The courts, however, have su.
perjurisdiction, and in many cases ap,
peals will probably be taken to them
from adverse rulings of the commits
sion. All of these cases doubtless car
be passed on within a couple Of
months, and the report of the commits
sion, if unsuccessful in its chief aim
making strong recommendations fol
immediate action by congress, will bt
ready to be submitted at the openinG
of the session of that body.

Violating the Prohibition Law.

For some time il has been known,
that various parties at Amite City we're
retailing ginger, which was bought as
an intoxicant by the drinking class.
AS this is prohibition town and parish
this was done in violation of the law.
Last week Thomas o. Eastey opened up
store there, but his stock in trade con-
sisted mainly of ginger and some other
medicinal intoxicants, and which he sold
to the citizens. This was too much
for the good people of Amite City, and
they set about to stop him and all
others engaged in this business. On
the petition of d. s. Kemp, district
attorney, Judge Robert r. Reid or
dered that an investigation be had into
the matter Saturday, and large num-
ber of citizens were summoned who
had purchased the stuff called ginger
merely to be able to testify against the
man selling it. The investigation took
a wide scope, and the fact was thor
oughly established that the law
had been violated and that the
stuff labeled ginger was little
else than whisky, and that it would
intoxicate as readily as straight whis-
ky. AS result of the hearing war
rants were issued for the following
parties: John r. Wood, merchant,
one affidavit, surrendered and was
placed under 800 bond, which was
| given; Jacob Stern, merchant, two
affidavits, surrendered and was re-
leased on $500 bond, which was given
Eli Robertson, two charges, surren-
dered and gave bond in the sum Of
$500; Thos. o. Eastey, four affidavits,
warrants not executed, as Mr.. Eastey
could not be located; B. Stern, mer-
chant, two charges, but as Mr.. Stern
has been away on q visit for some
time the warrants could not be ex
| ecuted.

Sharp Practice Checkmated.

A piece of sharp practice, which
may have been going on for some time,
has Just been checkmated by the treas
ury officials 1t appears that one Of
the special agents of the treasury de-
partment made the discovery not long
since that cigars imported at Ell Paso
from Havana, via New Orleans, duly
stamped with customs stamps, we're on
sale at Jusrez, Mexico, while in some
instances such cigars had been snug
gled into the United States. A guam
tity of them were seized in Ell Paso.
An investigation disclosed that the
boxes containing these cigars had been
withdrawn from the warehouse at New
Orleans after the customs stamps had
been affixed, and had been transported
in bond to Ell Paso, where they were
warehoused. They were subsequently
Withdrawn for expectation to Juarez,
Mexico, within the free zone. The
evasion of the law in these cases con-
sisted in the fact that these cigars
should not have been removed until
they had been inspected and stamp
affixed to each box, indicating such in
spection and when withdrawn for ex,
portation. The customs stamps should
also have been cancelled by the in
spector before delivery and the WORD
exported" stamped upon it in large
letters in indelible ink. To avoid ,
recurrence of this trouble the inspector
at Ell Paso has been furnished will
spencils, brushes and ink, and hal
been instructed to permit no cigars t.
be delivered from a public store ol
bonded warehouse for expectation un
less the stamps are SO marked.
