field.

DEADWOOD, s. D., Feb. 10.-The gen.
eral council of the Ogallala Indians con-
vened to-day at Red Dogs camp, or the
village on Wounded Knee Creek, about
thirty miles north of Pine Ridge. accord
ing to programme, for the purpose of Sc
lecting delegates to send to Washington to
confer with the President and Interior De-
partment concerning matters relating to
the treatment of the Indians. The coun-
Gil is largely attended. almost every Indian
and mixed blood being present, and the
greatest harmony prevails. 1t is thought
that no difficulty will be encountered in
selecting the delegates and raising funds
to defray their expenses. The head chief
presided and secretaries were chosen.
To-day's proceedings consisted chiefly
in formulating list of grievances to be
presented and general interchange oil
views relating to the same. The principal
grievances are as to the manner OF pro-
cedure against criminals and the issuance
of annuities. The Indians claim that in
the treaty of 1877 it was provided that the
crime of murder and the graver offenses
against the whites should be tried under
the general laws of the United States, but
Indians alone are involved should be tried
before the Indian police judges, whereas
this treaty obligation has been violated
and takes them off the reservation, often
hundreds of miles, entailing expense and
suffering. They will ask for the annuities
to be paid in cash, instead of clothing and
supplies.
They want strip of land in Nebraska
and the southern boundary of South
Dakota, which is now FIVE by ten miles
extended along the line for 100 miles
They did not know at the time of the
treaty that there was gold in the Black
Hills and they will ask for more money
for the hills. They want lawyer to
represent them in all legal matters.
In the interest OF education and morals
the schooI-children are forbidden to
engage in certain dances, and there is
some dissent to this as an infringement oi
their rights. There is not shadow oi
hostility on the reservation. Major Clapp,
who su cceeded Captain Penny as agent
ha the Indians well under control.
The council was held in large, round,
log Omaha dancehouse located on the sum-
NIT of hill In the midst oi
hundreds of white tepees and on the
battlefield of Wounded Knee. In the
center of the council-room q huge fire
burned. Around it were 125 black kettles,
in which the bodies of 200 dogs were
,stewing.

MIR. MORTON EXPLAINS.
Why the Secretary Sent an Ea'trG Quota

Why the Secretary Sent an E1tro Quota
of Seed to Nebraska.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 10.-Re-
ferring to the charge of Senator Vest that
the Secretary of Agriculture had dis
tributed 10000 more packages of seed in
Nebraska than that State was entitled to
last year, Secretary Morton says:
under the law one-third of all the seed
purchased was to be distributed by the
Secretary of Agriculture. In accordance
with that provision, some years ago, when
there was great suffering along the sea
islands OF the Carolina coast, the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, through Clara Barton
and the Red Cross, gave great portion of
the seeds which he was authorized to dis
tribute to the people where fields and gar
dens had been ruined by the tidal wave.
AS TO that very large distribution of seed
to those. Southern sufferers no com plant
was made. Therefore, during the recent
seasons of extreme drought IN the North
west the Secretary of Agriculture frankly
confesses that he gave far more than the
normal quota of seed to Nebraska, Kansas
and each of the Dakotas and to Oklahoma. !"

Republican Cos,Gressmen of Neto Fork
approve His Candidacy.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Feb. 10.-A series
of resolutions indorsing Governor Morton's s
candidacy for the Presidential nomination
at st. Louis have been prepared and circu-
lated among the Republican members of
the New York delegation. They were
signed to-day by all the New Workers
present at the session of the House, ana
the remaining members, it is said, will
affix their signatures tomorrow. The pur-
pose of the resolutions is principally to set
at rest the belief that the Republican poll
ticians of the State are not sincere in their
support of Governor Morton as their can
didate for Presidential honors. The reso-
lutions are highly eulogistic.

tended offering an amendment to the
House tariff bill, now pending before the
Senate. for repeal of the provision of the

affect the stock of the American Sugar
Trust nor disturb the price of sugar, as it
is fact generally conceded that there will
be no tariff legislation of any kind at this
session of Congress, and nothing can go
through the Senate which does not bear
the stamp of SILVER and nothing will
meet with executive approval that is SO

Beware Of Mercury!

Whenever a doctor is called upon to treat q blood disease, the result nine times out of ten is that the treatment is worse than the disease, and in a short while the patient finds his condition far worse than it was at first. The reason of this is that notwith- standing the great progress made in surgery, and in some branches of med icine, tine doctors have failed absolute ly to discover a cure for blood diseases Whether in the form of pill. powder oI liquid, their treatment is always the same potash and mercury which temporarily dry up the poison in the system and no sooner has it taken on the full effects of these powerful drugs, than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way to a stiffness. fol- lowed by the racking pains of rheu- mdtisn.
