tody Two of the Indians are charged
with shooting their chief at Cat lake,
about $50 miles northeast of Dinordwic.
The chief Of the Cat Lake Indians, cali
ed h-Wah-Sa-K eh-M Mig, became insane
and ordered the prisoners to shoot him.
A council of the tribe was called and
they discussed the matter for two days,
when they arrived at the conclusion that
the chiefs orders would have to be obey
ed. The chief lay down in his. wigwam
and indicated with his hand where they
were 10 shoot him. After he was dead
wood was heaped upon his body and the
fire kept going for two days, thereby, ac-
cording to the belief Of the Indians, thor
oughly destroying the evil spirit of the
chief. The matter was reported to Mr..
Bannaltyne, but as the Cat Lake tribe
are non-treaty Indians special legislation
was passed to cover the case. Constable

GEN. HEATH SUGGESTS POSTAL
IMPROVEMENTS.
Recon- M end tions as to Salaries, Clas'
sification, Disposal OF Money Appro-
priated, Etc-Confession of saltwater
Convict Ridiculed by Prison Guard.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry s. Heath in his Forthcoming an
nual report will recommend that Con-
gress shall fix the salaries of assistant
postmasters at so per centum Of that OF
postmasters; that postoffice clerks shall
be classified on the same basis as letter
carriers and railway postal clerks; that
the postofice appropriation shall be
made interchangeable; that the unexpend-
ed balance of one appropriation may be
transferred to other appropriations, and
that where consolidation ct postofices IS
deemed advisable, and the same may be
effected under the existing law, the
money saved thereby be made available
for clerk hire and other expenses at the
newly established offices. The depart
ment has again urged the special atten-
ton of Congress to the necessity for
Reconsideration of clerks in first and Sec
ond class postoffices. The department
will also ask for a substantial increase
for additional clerks, also for the pay
ment of substitutes for clerks on vaca-
ton in the smaller offices and material
increase in the appropriation for tempo
rary clerks at summer resorts, election
and holiday service.

GREAT RAILWAY DEAL ON.
First Step Toward the AmafGamation
of Eastern Properties.

First Step Toward the AmaIEamatfOn
So of Eastern Properties.
William Rockefeller has been elected
member Of the executive committee OF
the New York Central Company at the
meeting which authorized an issue OF
SIS, 100000 additional stock. The New
York World says: 1.-THE election Of Mr.
Rockefeller to the executive council OF
the New York Central system is OF FAR
reaching Importance, as it marks the sur
render of Che New York, New Haven
and Hartford system to the New YORK
Central. Mr. Rockefeller was elected
director in the New York Central few
weeks ago. He and his brother, John -.
Rockefeller, have never heretofore COM
manded any influence in New York Cen
trail affairs. although they have for sew
eral years held big block of its stock.
But they have been important factors IN
the management of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford system. William
Rockefellers election to the executive
committee of the Central is, therefore,
accepted as an indication that the union
of the two systems will shortly follow.
The next step in the deal will, it is be-
heved by railway men, be the absorption
of the Boston and Albany, the Boston
and Maine, the Fitchburg and the Maine
Central. The amalgamation OF all these
interests under the auspices of the Van
derbilts win end the war between the
New England roads, which has continued
br years.

Two South Dakota Towns Quarrel for
Possession of Parsonage.
Rev. Mr.. Norvell, a Methodist minis
ter, is the central figure in a fight be-
tween Miller, s. D., and st. Lawrence
over the attempted removal of the par
sonage at the latter place which was re-
Gently purchased with funds raised by
the women of his congregation at Miller.
When Norvell and some of his flock went
to st. Lawrence to haul the house away
they met with the opposition of the peo-
pie there, some of whom were members
of his st. Lawrence flock. The outcome
was the arrest of the parson. On a
change of venue the case came up before
Justice Butterfeld, who dismissed the
charge. Mr.. Norvell has been rearrested
on another warrant. A large number of
Methodist women, accompanied by the
sheriff and gang Of workmen, went to
st. Lawrence after their parsonage
building. A number of them were ar
rested, but the work went on. Senator
King, DR.. Taylor and Mr.. LOOMS of ST.
Lawrence were arrested by Miller people
for intimidating laborers. The women
claim a victory.
