INVESTIGATING Usage Pasture Money.

Washington, Nov. Especial Agent
Zevely, of the interior department, has
been sent to the Usage nation, Okla
homa, to investigate the charges against
Agent Pollock, and is expected to
reach there within the next few days.
B. G. Pray, of the Indian Office has
also been sent there, and is now en-
gagged in making surveys of the pas
lures which have been fenced in this
spring, amounting, it is said, to 100
square miles. The object is to deter
mine the number of square miles which
are legally or illegally grazed by cattle
men. Among the charges on file here
is one that 1s3, 200 cattle are grazing in
the Usage reservation in excess of the
number legitimately accounted and
paid for, representing a loss to the
Osages, according to the representa-
tions made by those DESTROYS of secur-
ing the removal of Agent Pollock, of
not less than 100000. The penalty
for illegal grazing of cattle on Indian
lands is 81 per head.

Production of Salt.

The salt production of the United
States, which the newest trust seeks
to control, amounts to IS coo, 600 bar
rels year, valued at over $4,000, 600.
Salt was first made in the United
States in Ohio in 1898, and the M:chi-
gan mines have been worked since
1859. There are two methods OF OBJ
tanning salt, it being gathered either
from mines Or by evaporation. Sea
water is seldom evaporated for salt
The more saline water in certain
springs and pools is used, being placed
in pans and exposed to sun or artificial
heat until the water passes away in
vapor, leaving the salt deposit.

RINEHARr's INDIAN PICTURES

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them; some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dams declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that so complete and spectacular a
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege of Witnessing it are to be
counted fortunate. AT the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs Of the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded n obtain
ing collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. Rinehart, the photograph
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in a few art stores some hand
colored proofs which, Notwithstanding
their high price, sold at once, and these
Indian pictures have become the fad of
the year. The Chicago Great Western
Railway has succeeded at large expense
in obtaining from Mr. Rinehart the
privilege of reproducing the best four
OF these pictures, Chiefs wolf Robe"
"Louison," Hollow Horn Bear" and
Hattie Tom," and have incorporated
them in an art calendar for 1900, which
is pronounced the most artistic produc-
ton yet attempted. The heads are
6x8 inches, one on sheet, wonderfully
reproduced in all their original colors,
and when framed make most striking
and effective pictures, particularly
suited for holiday gifts. Owing to the
expense but a very small edition has
been issued. They will be sent, how
ever, while the supply lasts to any per-
son sending % cents in stamps or silver
to cover the royalty charges and the
expense of packing and mailing to F.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Three Hundred and Eighty Three Routes
Established

Washington, Nov. IA vigorous plea
for rural free delivery is made in the
annual report of the first assistant
postmaster general, Perry S. Heath,
made public tonight. Mr.. Heath says
the service so far has resulted in in
creased postal receipts; enhancement
of the value of farm lands reached by
rural free delivery of from 81 to So per
acre; a general improvement of the con-
dition of the roads traversed by the
rural carriers; better prices for farm
products, the producers being brought
into daily touch with the state of the
markets, besides educational benefits
conferred by relieving the monotony of
farm life through ready access to
wholesome literature and knowledge
of current events.
On November I, rural free delivery
was in successful operation over 3S3
services, radiating over forty states
and one territory, Idaho, Wyoming,
Mississippi and Montana being the only
states unrepresented.

CONFIDENCE IN BJLLER.
Pigeons Bring News From Lady
smith---Boers Send Prisoners.
CAPTURED ONE BOER CAMP.

London, Nov. THE fact that Sir
Redvers Butler appears to have ordered
a retirement from Stromberg, and per-
haps from other places, relieves to some
extent the public mind, which other
wise, would have been further alarmed
Confidence is felt in any measures that
General Butler may deem desirable.
The knowledge that the pigeon post is
working has also come as relief to
the great anxiety previously felt. Dis
patches from Cape Town and other cen
tiers in Cape Colony indicate that the
Cape Dutch are becoming very restless
in consequence of the Boer success.
The Dutch residents of Natal have
received news of a sanguinary battle
fought, probably between Ladysmith
and Colenso. A large number of the
Beers were killed, many being relatives
of Natal Dutch residing in this place.
The English residents have no know
ledge of any engagement.
Pigeons are now being used to con-
Tey news from Ladysmith.
General Joubert sent in Major G. S.
Kincaid, of the Royal Irish Fusileers,
and nine wounded prisoners. Eight
Beers were sent out in exchange, no
others being fit to travel.
While the naval brigade was pound
ing away at the Boer batteries this

The Baltimore and Ohio South
Western Rail Road placed in service
several months ago five large ten
wheel compound passenger engines for
use on fast trains between Cincinnati
and st. Louis. The performance OF
these engines has been eminentIy sat

tation. The same line has also in SER
vice so consolidation compound freight
engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
was already in use. The compound
engines were an experiment but hard
service has proved that they are en-
tirely successful and show a saving of
Is per cent in fuel as compared with
simple engines of the same type. Ex-
baustive tests were made with both
the simple and compound locomotives
before the order for the entire lot was
placed with the result vastly in favor
of the compound locomotives.
