The venerable Bishop Henry b. Whip
pie of Minnesota, is back in his winter
home here after visit to Miami and that
vicinity. His almost lifelong services
among the Indians of the west have llt-
ted him to advise intelligenty as to the
best methods of dealing with the rem
nents that remain of the once powerful
tribes. The opening up of the East Coast
country by the Flagler system of railways
and steamships has brought modern civil
izaton, with all its aggressive push, very
close to the little handsome four hun
dred-of Seminole Indians who thought
themselves safe from intrusion in The

the Indians have been in some cases, mo-
Tested in their rights, and the state and
nation both have been led to investigate
the true condition of things and see that
these Red Men of the Everglades are not
molested. Bishop Whipple, with DR.. j.
A. Brecht the Indian agent at Immolo-
kee. and Kirk Monroe, the famous writ
err. who lives now on the East Coast, mas
formed an association to secure to this
band OF Seminoles a suitable reservation
and proper protection in their rights and
privileges as wards of the state and ma
ton. Schools and churches, and other
clvllizing influences are to be created in
the everglades for their benefit. Good
farms and comfortable homes will be-
come more numerous and great hopes
are entertained that the rising generation
will be able TO adapt themselves TO modern
Industrial and agricultural pursuits with
good results to all concerned.

law relates only to towns or offices not
incorporated. The company intends to
close all that do not yield a sufficient
profit to more than pay state and county
taxes.
