pardon me for making the following
suggestions:
Il. AS time will nc permit a full dis
cussion Of political questions in so large
a aumber OF private letters. L shall. In
order to avoid discrimination, reserve
all such discussions for public occasions.
20. All offers of services and sugges.

teeman representing the various states

ture should be addressed to the secre.
tary OF the national committee at com.

Among the great characters Of the

craft wholly by superstition, and states
to his astonished people that the great
spirit of the o had revealed to him
the cause OF NE complaint, whether it
be sickness or crime.
The great Dingaam was q chief who
was q terror. to his medicine man.
There was no punishment that was too
severe buthe would inHict it in an insin-
uating way on the man Of witchery. It.
Is related that his confidential man and
n great medicine being Of the whole
Zulu tribe had come under his suspic-
lon. He was sent for by the king, who
welcomed his witch doctor in cordial
terms. A large Are was burning meas
by. The king stated:
my man Of medicine, your hands arc
cold; go nearer to the fre-nearer. Yes,
the right hand is very cold. Put it into
the fire."
Thus the poor man was obliged to
keep his hand in that fire OF white heat
until the member had burned to q crisp.
The command OF the king was supreme,
and one Indication Of the pain would
mean instant death. After the seeming
suspicion qf the king had been gratifea
he stated that the hand was warm nos
and that ali was well.

Something for spertsmen to consider
seriously, if they intend to get one Of
the new so-caliber army rifles, is the
great penetration Of the bullets, One
OF the bullets would kill q man through
Q four-foot ~spruce.tree, or o COW O mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended IN to stop n Of these bull
lets, and it might easily travel half a
mile throughdense woods and lit a man
far out Of sight with deadly effect.
Field and Stream says that the next
legislatures Of Jul great game states
should pass o law prohibiting the use
OF a jecketed bullet, because OF the dan.
ger to human beings. Another argue
ment 1t offers in favor OF such law win
have great influence on the men who do
not wish to wound without killing the
game. This class OF bullets is useless
for large game unless soft pointed"
1T says, "as it rarely kills instantly, but
allows the game to die from internal
hemorrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach"
When such a rife is used for big game
"a bullet that mushrooms should be en-
ployed. The mushroolning bullet will
kill anything, as it goes clear throug.,
an elk, moose, or deer, and the force OF
the impact would knock u running griz-
ely down.

THE LOWER BRuLEs.
About Four Hundred of the 1ndians
Resurn to Rosebud.

Chamberlain, S. D., July 20.-A clause
II he Indian appropriation bill grant
I'd permission to the Lower Brule In
Hans, who, prior to July 8. 1890. lived
jouth of the White river. on the Rose
bud reservation, to return there and
'elect the allotments of land occupied by
hem prior to that date. About 400 Of
the Lower Brules have just taken adj
vantage of this clause and removed to
heir former homes on the Rosebud res
srvatton.
They have already been allotted lands
IN the Lower Brule reservation, which
hey o abandon, and they will again
lave to be allotted land in severalty in
heir new location. These Indians have
tlways desired to live south of the White
river. and eve SO long ago as 1889,
when the Sioux commission, of which
General Cook was chairman, and of
which Hon. Charles Foster of Ohio and
Hon. William Warner of Missouri We're
members. the subject was submitted
20 the commission before the Indians
could be prevailed upon to sign the
treaty which afterwards resulted in
opening to settlement l 900, 900 acres
Of their reservation. 1t was understood
With these Indians on condition of their
signing the treaty that they should be
permitted to reside In the home of their
choice. but, nevertheless, when the new
Lower Brule reservation was estab-
lished they We're compelled by the In
dian bureau to take up their residence
there. So bitter was the feeling over the
matter that on one occasion u large par
ty of the dissatisfied Indians left the
reservation in d~isobedience to depart
mental orders and headed southwark
with a large portion of Indian police in
pursuit. The fugitives were overtaken
and a pitched battle between them and
the Indian police was narrowly averted
before they could be induced to return
10 the reservation. Later they sent a
representative to Washington regard
ing their wished for removal, and since
then have made a determined fight for
the permission which was finally grant
ed them by congress. They are related
to the Rosebud Tor Brule) Indians, and
also claim that the Ian there is more
productive than that on the Lower Brule
reservation. The government will have
to pay the Rosebud Indians at the rate
Of 81 per acre for all land settled upon
and occupied by the Lower Brules. The
indians are naturally 1ubilant over their
victory after the struggle of SO many
years duration,
