Washington, March 2S.-The Cncom-
pahgre reservation will be opened by
the operation of the existing law
next Friday morning unless some spec
ial legislation intervenes. There is no
likelihood that the Indian appropria-
ton bill can be disposed Of before that
time. Senator Allison said this even
ing that he would not take that bill UP
in conference until the sundry civil bill
was disposed of. This bill, which was
reported this afternoon, is regarded as
certain to occupy several days. There
fore the only thing possible to prevent
opening Friday is the passing of the
proposed joint resolution postponing the
opening for six months. Even this will
have to be pushed through with I'M
usual rapidity or the opening will oc-
cur. 1t is reported tonight that the
resolution will be called up tomorrow.
1t will require unanimous consent to
get 1t through in time.

MGREW,s LUCK.

MGREW'S LUCK.
| The prominence of our foreign rela-
tions in the senate is operating to pro-
/ long the official career of II. n. Nc
Grew. In view of the probability that
( discussion of Cuban affairs will occupy
a large part of the week, the con-
sidera ton of nominations In executive
session is likely to be postponed until
next week The Herald correspondent
is assured by a number of senators that
McGrew will prove a short horse soon
carried, and that he will be rejected by
at least ten majority. His ridiculous
letter to the president and his admis-
sion that he would fool the people of
Arizona to get the governorship has
injured his chances with many senators
of his own party.

the capitol during the reading of the
presidents message. He is one his way

STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS.
Representative King introduced a bill
this afternoon providing that Star route
contractors shall not submit any por-
lions of their contracts for a less sum
than they get from the government.
This bill is designed to assist in increas-
ing the compensation of western mail
route contracts, now much underpaid
by the big eastern contractors.
Judge King also introduced bills to-
day for the relief of j. c. Wilson, of
Sanpete, and Mrs. William Huntington
of Salt Lake. Wilson and Huntington
rendered services for the United States
marshal of Utah in 1856 for which they
We're never compensated.
KING DISSATISFIED.
Judge King is greatly dissatisfied at
the apparent plan of the administra-
ton to give the Cubans food instead
Of freedom. He said that the autOn-
Omy policy could have but one logical
result, and that was that the United
States would have to coerce the Cubans
to accept autonomy by force, and this
would outrage every lover of liberty in
the world.
STATE LAND SELECTIONS.

as agreed to by the senate committee
this afternoon, provides that the law

Deputy Burrus, about a week before the

AYcock Given Five Years.

The second trial of Chas. F. Aycock,
ex-treasurer of Boone county, on the
charge of embezzling county funds, re-
suited in verdict of guilty and he was
sentenced to five years in the peniteu-
tiary. At his first trial, about three
weeks ago, the jury failed to agree.
Aycock absconded over three years
ago, and an investigation disclosed the
fact that he was short several thous-
and dollars, which his bondsmen made
good. After successfully eluding the
officers for over two years, during which
time he was continually on the move,
he located in East Tennessee and en-
gagged in mining enterprises under an
assumed name, and was apparently
prospecting, when an officer recognized
resemblance in him to a photograph
accompanying an account of his crime
and placed him under arrest. He re-
turned to Boone county without await

An Old War-Horse of Journalism Dis
covers the Virtue of New
Medicinal Variety.
There are only few of them left

There are only few of them left.
Since Chas. A. Dana's death, Joseph Me-
dill, the war-horse of the Chicago Tribune,
is the chief surviving representative of the
old school of virile, aggressive editorial
giants.
To have mud thrown at them was part of
the profession at all times, but to find health
IN mud is rather modern innovation. That
is what Joseph Medill has been doing of
late.
Mr.. Medill is an investigator and when
the stories of the miraculous Magno- Mud at
Indiana Mineral Springs began to spread
over the country, the great editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious substance on his own rheumatic
limbs and weigh its value. He was accom-
panied by his private physician, young
Armenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was mud mummified daily
for several weeks and gained visibly in
weight, strength and vitality.
The final result of the experiment was an
unqualified success. Mr.. Medil went
back to Chicago in September, and wrote an
editorial about Magno- Mud with his own
hand. Next, he sent his son-in-law for a
little of the mud-treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor four times year.
This mud-treatment in which Mr.. Medil
found so much virtue, is peculiar, yet logical.
After all, every form of life springs from the
earth, which is the great destroyer and assim.
ilator of dead and effete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks At the foot Of
the. converging hills, a big Ltha spring
gushes forth at the rate of 1900 barrels day
and floods the soil, which consists of a rich,
black porous loan, fed by the deeduous
foliage of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is as
soluble as sugar, and being devoid of clay is
not sticky in the least. 1t is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
Of the roadway, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on a cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed TO proper temperature.
It then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
opens the pores and Initiates the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.

BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Feast Took PInce 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost 100000.

Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
Of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
100000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for a better market. lie killed
the remaining 400 in u sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
It. After he had dug out few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson to be only a few
miles away, had started for that city
to enjoy some of the pleasures a met
ropolitan city can afford. 1t proved to
be about 100 miles 10 Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. "Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" is
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and a general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Behring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
so large n percentage of them.-Port-
land Oregonian.
