yesterday by the appearance of Bran's
Iconoclast containing a bitter attack
upon the dead Harris brothers. The

st that institution. While then excite.
ment was intense no threats were
made, and feeling was suppressed on
account of the past tragedies traceable
to the periodical referred to- Branu
was down town early in the forenoon.
He sat In a buggy with a shot gun
by his ide and was driven by negro
to his business office and thence home.
Last night just as the Cotton Belt east.

Crawford, Neb., February 5.-The
State bank of Crawford did not open
dts doors this morning. The cashier of
the institution will say nothing of the
banks affairs further than that owing
to the absence of Francis Cradle, its
president, coupled with the fact that
the currency which was expected yes
terday morning did not arrive from the
East, he thoughtful best not to attempt
to run through the day. He says the
bank will pay out deposltors and all
liabilities in full. Its assets are about
$4,000 and liabilities outside of stock
about $4,000.

TEXAS TRUST LAWS.
THEY MAY BE USED AS MODELS
BY OTHER STATES.
IF Supreme Court Upholds Them-The
Opinion to Be Handed Down VIII BE
Full--oontroi of Trusts by States VIII
He Determined In the Decision.

Washington, February 5.-There is no
case before the supreme court of the
United States which is being watched
with more interest than the Texas
antitrust cases. On the decision of the
supreme court In this case hinges the
power of the states of the Union to
reach the trusts by state legislation.
The demand for briefs in the case has
been very large. There is no DOUBT
from the expressions heard here among
congressman that If the supreme court
should sustain the law in all essential
particulars, similar legislation to that
NOW i'm force in Texas will be enacted
in many other states without delay
The Impression has gained ground
among those who are following the case
that the chances of the law being up
held in alleXcept the provision which
gives the state courts Jurisdiction over
parties outside of the state who offend
against the law, are excellent. lit is the
opinion of congressman, who are
awaiting with much concern the out
come of the case, that even with the
jurisdiction denied by the supreme
court, the law would give the trusts
considerable trouble, for the reason
that if any considerable number of
states adopted similar legislation
against the trusts the market of die
trusts would be co constrained that
they would no longer be able to operate
successfully. Gossip about the court
says that the case is being given the
greatest attention by the court and
that the new justice, McKenna of Cal
ifornAa, has been selected to write the
opinion of the court. Ut will be an ex-
haustlve opinion, and, whether for or
against, Will cover the whole subject
so thoroughly that the powers of
state to regulate trusts will be denad
so clearly as to settle the question for
q generation.

CIVILIZED CROW INDIANS.



William G. Evans, retired farmer
and stockman and prominent citizen
of West Liberty, Iowa, found time the
other day between trains to call on a
few former citizens of West Liberty,
who now live in Lincoln, says the
Nebraska State Journal. He was re-
turning from visit to a son who is
storekeeper at the Grow agency in
Wyoming. Mr.. Evans went all through
the Big Horn region in 1884 and he
was much interested this trip in OBJ
serving the progress the Grow Indians
had made toward civilization since
that time. The Crows, he said were
always a dull race, almost non-resis-
tant, and so had not so much warlike-
ness to get rid of as some other tribes.
number of them have taken land in
severalty and till it quite successfully.
1t is, of course, with the younger gem
Grafton that most has been attempted
and accomplished Mr.. Evans attended
Sunday school there, and found the
children bright and well instructed.
The day schools have had about 100
pupils and should have about 200 If all
attended who are the proper age. The
families get off hunting, however, and
it is hard to get some of the children
back. Just at present the schools are
dismissed on account of an epidemic
of measles. The teacher Is thoroughly
qualified and doing much good. A
number of Grow men wear the civil
lied costume in its entirety and others
partially. The women, however, cling
to their tribal dress. The children at
the school must all wear clothes like
the white people, but when they return
to their %igwams they often go back
to the more primitive styles. A few
women who are graduates of Carlisle
set an example of civilized dress. The
Crows are fine race physically. Many
Of the men are more than six feet high
and straight as the traditional redman.
The women, through burden bearing
and hard work, are less attractive in
appearance. On the whole, Mr.. Evans
thought that the tribe was really NOV
Ing forward ana tnat after awhile they
might become really self-supporting
and civilized enough for all practical
purposes

Washington, February "a number
of topics were discussed at yesterdays
cabinet meeting, but perhaps the most
interesting one was the dispensation of
federal patronage in the Southern
states where the republican party has
no representative in congress. 1t Is
probable SEVERAL appointments will be
made i'm TIE South, though the matter
has NOT been fully determined.
The decree of the prohibition of
fruits going to Germany and its later
modification We're discussed at some
length.

To Relieve the Maine.

Washington, February 5.-The war
ship Maine will be relieved in Havana
in the course of few days. 1t was
not the purpose of the navy depart
ment to keep the ship there for any
length OF time when she was ordered
across the strait, and 1t is felt that
the ships crew must feel uncomfor-
table lying close aboardship in the
harbor of Havana. The Marb.ehead OF
the Detroit, which are better adapted
to comfortable existence in such eli
mate as that of Havana than the Maine
will probably be sent to relieve the

DARKIEs OF EASTERN SHORE
Their Happy-Go-Lucly, Idle, Easy
Careless Life.

ATtNeJ
Careless Life.
1t is worth while to see them drive
into one of the villages, say on a Sat
urday when the country people are
gathering to do their shopping, says
Lippincott's. One will see many an old
negro come driving in at a snail's pace,
clad in iil-fitting garments too big or
too small, of any color or no color,
ragged and patched. He slouches on
the seat of his tumble down wagon, as
If 1t were too much trouble to sit erect,
or as If he were about to fall over in
to the bottom of the vehicle and go to
sleep. His steed is mule, small, bony,
starved looking, wabbling in gait, a
very caricature of its kind. One ex-
poets him every moment to stop and so
feeding on the grass that grows near
the gutter. The wagon rattles from
afar; every bolt and screw is loose,
the wheels seem about to fall entirely
off; the sideboards sway, and the seat
moves from side to side, apparently at
the peril of the occupant. The har-
ness is composed largely of rope and
twine the lines are innocent of all ac-
cusation of being leather. One would
be willing to risk his life on a venture
that such team would never get down
the street to the hitching place by the
pump; but the zigZag journey is safely
made, with no sign of anxiety on the
part of the driver. AS he halls his
lounging comrades on the pavement
with a guffaw that can be heard a
mile; the voice of the ill-clad but hap
py group sound mellow and sweet and
good natured, as they chaff each other.
These voices are the very expression
of the happy go-luchy, idle, easy, care
less life of these people, too indolent to
sound all the syllables of their words.
Yet they are happy; to see and hear
them one would think there was no
tomorrow, nothing to be done in the
world and no such thing as care upon
earth.

THE LATEST ALGERISM

The Philadelphia Ledger says A dis
patch from Washington printed Tuesday
in the Ledger, evidently an inspired deli
verance emanating from the War Depart
ment to silence newspaper criticism of the
monumental blunders and gross malad-
ministration of the department during the
late war, quotes the statement OF a high
but unnamed, officer of the Spanish army
to the effect that if the Spaniards in Cuba
had known of 'the condition of the Amer
lean army, its inability to withstand the
hardships of Il campaign, its lack of medi-
Cal and other supplies, as told i'll the
American papers, they would have con-
tinued fighting for long time to come"
The inspired dispatch goes on gravely to
say that it was only after the reports of
the bad condition of the United States ar
my had reached Madrid that the Cuban
debt question was raised before the COM
mission. The remarkable deliverance
winds up with the surprising annouce-
ment OF another anonymous officer that
the cpahlafas III SuDa are under the I'M
preston, due to 1.-THE charges that have

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

Important action was taken by the
respective bodies OF the Episcopal
Council in Washington this week on Il
subject which has caused much discus
sion during the deliberations of those
bodies The House of Bishops ID
secret session, by vote of 81 t. a re
jected propositions bearing on the sub
ject of the remarriage of divorced per-
SONS, designed to take the place of
those now in existence. The present
canons on that subject, therefore, re-
main in force.
As the House of Deputies will not
accept this canon, action on the subject
at the present convention is not proba-
bic.
The matter can now only bc taken
up again by two-thirds vote.
The argument came up on the ques-
ton of adopting the canon proposed by
the joint commission on the revision of
the constitution, which reads as follows:
NO minister of this church shall sol
emnize the marriage of either party to
a divorce during the life time Of the
other party The substitute proposed
in the minority report permitted tie
remarriage of the innocent party in a
divorce obtained for the cause of adul-
terry, when the party filed the record of
the court showing the divorce to have
been obtained on that ground.
The present canon ofthe church pro
hibits any minister from marrying any
divorced person if the other party is
still living, but the canon shall not ap-
ply to the innocent party in a divorce
for the cause of adultery, or to parties
once divorced seeking to be united
a~ain.-

REPORTED THREATS BY
DAY.

A dispatch to London news agency
from Paris on Monday says: ITO day the
conference reached crisis for the first
time. Judge Day presented the demands
of the American commissioners in threat
ening words
He said that delay was the only posi-
BILE object attainablc by the persistent Ell
forts of the Spanish commissioners t" sad
die the United States with the Cuban debt
and would be tolerated no longer, as the
United States would neither assume nor
guarantee any part of the debt
"The Spaniards replied that this placed
Spain in position of repudating or of re-
ducing the face value of the Cuban bonds
from so to 60 per cent, paying only half
the stiT u,ated interest o ! the reduced value.
Before they would adopt either alterna-
tive they would surrender to the United
States the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the surren-
der of the Philippines would probably be
demanded irrespective of the Cuban or
any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards the first intima-
ton of the intentions of the United States
as to the Philippines, resulted in whis-
pered conference, followed by a request
for an adjournment in order to commune
cate with Madrid Judge Day said that
President Mckinley had instructed him to
demand the entire surrender of Porto Rico
Tuesday, and the delivery of every town
on the island to the United States officers
before midnight, together with the evacu-
alton of Havana on or before November
list, when the United States would be at
the gates of the city ready to take posses
sion.
There was no alternative offered in the
case of either of these demands, and the
session consequently was brief The
American commissioners have received
dispatches from Washington indicating
that the administration is irritated and
indignant over the delay of the Spanish
commissioners"
