so badly that they left and went to a

Parties then went in search to find
out who the disturber was, but could
find nothing of the man. The sea en-

Victory Would Result.
The chairman Of the Populist city
committee furnishes The Herald with
the following statement:
The P0pUlists have carried on an
active campaign. but as they have had
70 bank or high salaried officials 10

has been. as it always should be, q
work purely of principle. The city
committee in conjunction with the pre-
cinct committeeman. feel that the re
forms advocated by the Populist party
have taken a ffrner hold upon the
public mind than ever before, and
that only a short time intervenes be
fore final victory.
If all the voters of the city that
agree with the principles as laid down
by the Populist platform would so to
the polls tomorrow and vote in ac-
cordance With their belief, the Popuiist
ticket would be elected by a large ma
jority. But, unfortunately. there are
those who are afraid of throwing their
votes away" Gas they term it,, and viii
vote for what they DO not want, and
get ii. rather than 10 vote for what
they do want. and not get it. In con-
sideration of this fact, I estimate that

be elected if the citizens voted for
principles instead of sustaining par
ties. II l followed the usual custom I
could Of course claim that my election
was an assured fact. but / neither wish

Supervisor of Indian Schools.

Washington, Oct. S1.-Thomas P.
Smith of Plattsburg, n. T., has been
appointed supervisor of Indian schools.
There are five of these offices. Mr..
Smith has been connected with the In
dian service for many years as agent
and inspector, and latterly as assistant
commissioner of Indian affairs. The
record he made in the administration
of the latter Office, actuated the admin
istration in retaining him until last
north, when it was expected he would
be rewarded with the appointment of
special agent, which recently fell to a
friend of General Fairbanks.

by Rev. MyrOn Reed.
A HEROIC THING TO Do

ARMED INDIANS AND WOMEN

a Right to Hunt--All Have Now
Returned TO Utah-Wardens Pat
rol the State Line.


Denver. Colo, Get. SL-In his sermon
this morning. Rev. Myron W. Reed
save the following expression of his
views on the recent Indian killing in
Routt county:
Good women were holding a foreign
mission meeting in this city. Why not
send missionary up into the Steam
GOAT Springs country? There has been
q brave thing done up there. The news
papers choose 10 call it battle. l
choose to call it murder BY solemn
treaty with the sreat United States,
those dead Indians had a right to hunt
on United States land, They had with
them d permit from an United States
agent. 1t is such a heroic thing for a
.oJ o. armed deputy game wardens to
shoot down unarmed and unready In
dams; and signatly heroic to shoot into
tno Indian women and one baby.
i venture TO say that every one of
these armed towards has been eating
venison all summer If every one who
has broken the game law had been
shot there would be new made graves
OF white men from Wolcott TO Hahn's
Peak, and from Rife to the head
waters of White river. Why did not
these gentlemen come over and exam
inc our cabin on the Elk last August?
They would rot have found anything,
but why not try? Why not come over
and take away our guns? And then tie
Us on our horses and send US to the res
erVatio1 ~ Denver?
There are distinctly two kinds OF
frontiersmen. One, the kind who are
trying to make a home-I find them
kindly, hosDitable, living in handsome
}og houses. And then there is another
kind. loafing around the cross-road tav-
ern and postoffice, the dregs of q calm
world and a long peace They lie
around and lie They chew tobacco and
spit on the stove. Their aspiration is
to be extremely careful who they
tackle An u-l2rmed Indian or Indian
woman is the safest thing"

easiness is felt on the part Of the set
tiers.
Wardens have been stationed along
the Utah line to report the first re-
appearance of the Indians.

Tuesdays Concert.-The Y. M. c. A.
lecture course was most auspiciously
opened last Tuesday evening by con-
cert by the Park Sisters, assisted by Miss
Sutherland and Master Henry Donlan,
the wonderful boy soprano. The Park
sisters appeared several times as quar-
tette with three cornets and piano ac-
compartment and with mandolins, either
and guitar. Their music was artistic
and pleasing and they were very generous
in responding to encores. Miss Suther-
lands selections were all of humorous
nature and the audience expressed
their approval of her recitals by encoring
each piece. The boy soprano completely
captivated the audience by his clear
voice, his graceful manners and the ease
with which he took his high notes.
Though suffering from severe cold the
little fellow sang with rare ability for one
so young and added much to the success
of the concert.
The stage appeared very attractive
with the electric lights and the new cur
tains, the gift to the association from the
ladies' auxiliary.
