Most everybody knows something Of
the work of philanthropist Nathan
Strauss OF New York in dispensing pure
milk among the people In parts OF the
great city where nothing much botter
than chalk and water is usually available.
Mr. Strauss work has suffered this
summer at tho recreation piers estab'
lshed by the city as breathing spaces for
tho poor, from the fact that owners of
lunch privileges on the piers have OBJ
jected 10 the sale OF the milk he provided.
And now the health board OF the city
has secured technical conviction of Mr..
Strauss on the charge of selling "a speci-
men of milk below the claimed nutritive
standard-and incidentally the board
seems to have made fool of itself.
In the testimony for the prosecution it
was stated by the inspector that "the
sample from one can when analyzed by
the chemist for the health department
was found 20 bo trife below the re-
quired standard " On the contrary 1t was
also admitted that the methods of sterili-
zation adopted by Mr.. Straus, the defen-
dant in question, had Deen formally
approved by the board, that the milk at
other dopots had been found TO DO of ex-
cellont quality, and was far above the
legal standard. Even the justice, in pass
ing sentence on what he acknowledged
was merely technical grounds, was inn
pelled TO apologize Cor his decision, and
took occasonn to compliment the alleged
culprit on the truly laudaole motives of
his enterprise
The New York Medical Record declares
that it is somewhat difficult to under
stand why legal proceedings should have
been instituted because of single aoci-
dent or oversight, whom a moro prompt
ing the proprietor, who would doubtless
have been only too glad TO remedy the
difficulty. 1t would appear 10 be "A mat
ter in which strictly legal right on the
part of tho board should have been tenn
pered with IA little discretionary mercy.
The board has immense powers under the
law, but il cannot be too oircumspeot in
using them. Above all, 1t should be- par
ticuIariy careful to guard against ali sus-
picion of persecution.
In spite of the verdict, the public will
not believe that the good citizen is really
guilty Of any culpabIe wrong while tho
board will miss much Of the credit
which might have belonged TO we'll
considered action.

ODD REUNION OF SIOUX,
Return to Old HAunts-Squaws In
Tears For a Dead Paleface.

Within six miles OF the business center OF
| ST. Paul there Is an encampment OF Sioux
| Indians. IL was the custom many years ago
| for all of the Sioux who could manage 20 get
| here 10 gather twice each year on the bank
OF tho Mississippi. Red Rock, for the
purpose Of hunting fishing and having good
time generally. For many years the custom
has been abandoned, bat last Saturday, TO
the great surprise OF the people living IN the
vicinity, the Indians began gathering from
all directions, good many in wagons, somo
on ponies, "A number walking, and few even
arriving by train. by Saturday evening thore
were fully 200 Indians together, and then the
fun began. They were evidently glad To be
together again, for they set mp large pole
in the middle Of the camp and danced about
IL.
The scene WAS a weird one, and seeing 1t
one could easily imagine that there was no
such thing civilization within n hundred
miles. The women did not dance, but the
men who did were dressed semi barbarously.
They wore shirts. trousers and beaded moe
casins, while long strings Of beads wound
round and rouad their necks and bright coll
ored sashes made their costumes picturesque.
As they danced they chanted a song of well
come i'm the Dacotah tongue, and beat steadily
upon their tom-toms, or small drums. There
was one rather peculiar thing about their
actions, they never appeared 10 see one an
other as they wound in and out in the queer
serpentine movements OF the dance.
Yesterday when the camp was visited by
tho Dispatch, IL was very quiet, and except
for the smoke rising among the trees there
was no visible or audible sign Of the presence
Of "a barbarOus tribe until, following tho
trail into the woods, the whole village was
suddenly in full view. Groups Of young girls
wero standing about and an old squaw was
bringing firewood upon her back, and a mum
ber OF young men were trying feats Of
strength.
In one Of tho tepees which stood by itself,
apart from the others, was young n an, evi-
IDENTIFY leader among them, who acted as
spokesman. He, il seems. is a son of the old
chief of tho tribe who used to live Mt Kapiosa.
As n sign OF his rank he wears "A shirt with a
bosom of solid bead work of most elaborate
design. His Indian name il Kaiah, but in
English he is called samuel Thomas. The two
oldest mon of the party are Tasnonawonhdi
and Tukancandiska.
A little incident which occurred yesterday
morning would. show that these people have
great eal of feeling, although they do not
often show it. Two of the oldest squaws in
| the party went 10 the Ford re- 'idence and
! asked for the elder Mrs. Ford, whom they
| had known many years ago, and who had
| learned their language when she came TO
| this country sixty years ago and had always
| been very kind To them. Mrs. Ford died last
| winter, and when told of this the old squaws
! cried.-St. Paul Dispat,h

The stock markets movement upward is
often compared favorably with the fam
Gus "bull" period Of 1879. But as a
matter of fact conditions today are far
more substantially bullish than they then
were.
Then we were buying rails from Europe
at ESQ to build railroads. and were selling
bonds on the railroads at 90 or so cents on
the dollar accompanied with high rates
ei interest. AT this favorable period we
are selling rails to Europs, and buying
back the bonds we sold them, and the
country Is able to stand Up under tne
load. and advance the prices while thoy
buy. In 1879 we were making securities
by the ream, while at this time we are
printing comparatively none The rola-
tive strength Of the country at this tins
is beyond calculation.

PROsPERITY7S REAL FACTS.

Bradstreot's," which is one OF the
most conservative business publications
in the country, continues 20 report a re-
markable development in manufacturing
and business generally throughout tho
United States. Its latest Issue shows
that the railroads ara so crowded with
business as to require an enormous in
crease in their cars for transporting grain
and other products two roads, whose
main offices are in Ohio, having just
ordered 1000 new box cars each.
Other Ohio industries also seem 10 be
tiourishing the Cleveland Rolling Mills
announcing that they are just receiving
an order for 1000 tons of bar steel, to be
exported to Birmingham. Eng. and three
large cordage mills at Isaia, Ohio, which
have been sent for several years, being
put into operation with a full force of
hands.
From other States there are equally
gratifying reports. rhe Bridgeton, Penn,
woolen mills, which have been idle for
nearly three years, announce that they Will
resume operations next week; the Wead
Paper Mill OF Malone, New York. which
nave bean idle for year or riore, will
pe reopened at once; the Industrial
World reports the markets practically
bare OF foundry pig iron, owing to tho
nrge demand. while the American Agri-
culturist reports the interest on farm
loans in the West phonomenally low. hav-
ing fallen very much as compared with
the rates of former years
These conditions, when they are con-
sidered in comparison with those OF the
corresponding period In the Cleveland
administration, are all the comment that
is needed by way Of justification of the
action of the people OF the United states
in last years presidential election.

Motorman English, Of the Edison
street car line found a piece of rubber
tube with iron on one end, it being an
air pipe connection from freight car,
on North Pine street, Wednesday ev-
ening, near the railroad reserve. 1t is
his belief that some thug had cut it off
with the intention of knocking some
body down and robbing them. The iron
attached to the pipe is heavy
enough to completely crush a mans
skull should it strike him. Being so
near the brush gives considerable ere
6ence to the theory advanced by Mr..

what the People are saylng.

What the People are Saying.
The summary manner in which Maj.
Henderson was snuffed out because
he opposed the idea of making San
Antonio a wool market, may be taken
as a certain indication that public
sentiment over the 18th congressional
district will not tolerate any sugges-
tions that initiate against our bust
ness interests.
Congressman Slayden is almost for
gotten; his presence in congress is not
regarded as being of any use to any
one here. Had Mr.. Slayden's polit-
ical god, Bryan, been elected he might
have cut a mighty swath but with a
Republican in the presidential chair
Mr.. Slayden's only service to his coun-
try consists in drawing his salary from
the public treasury. In fact, our
friend Slayden is only a useless Dem
ocratic ornament at the nations capt.
tai.
The people of the 18th district have
made up their minds not to run any
silver Democrats.
The free trade Democracy will make
a great effort to change the complex
ion of the next congress; Mr.. Slayden
is in favor of the Dingley bill with a
string tied to it. The voters of the 18th
district are determined to send a
straight out Republican,
Judge Noonan suits the people and
should he become a candidate at the
next election he WIFI receive a support
that will surprise the free silver DEM
ocracy.
1t may be early to suggest these
matters but it might as well be under
stood now as later on that the Repub-
licans will run a candidate for con-
gress and expect to win.

The Christian church Sunday school
gave some interesting exercises, pre-
ceeding the gift of candy and pop corn.
The church WAS handsomely decorated
with appropriate notices. Some fine
singing added to the joy of the occasion.

afternoon, Z goodly number Of people

turkey was poor in flesh. and its feathers
