Bill to Provide Revenue For
Their Support.

At the meeting Of the committee
on Indian affairs of the house
Thursdey, Mr.. Edmonson, OF the
Indian Territory, was heard with
reference to the bill to provide ad-
ditional enrollments of the Choc-
taws, Greeks, Chickasaws and
Cherokees. Mr.. Tongues bill to
amend the act providing for the,al-
lotment of the land in severalty to
y the Indians en the various reser-
vations and TO extend the protec-
ton of the States and Territories

the agreement between the COM
missioners to the five civilized
'(tribes and the Heminoles OF the
Indian Territory, and the bill in
cooperating the Grand Lodge Of
Odd Fellows in the Indian Terri

and was ordered to report the
same after the report of the Inte-
rior department had been received

\ alters the bin as introduced by Mr..

by Herman Siercks in an awful con.

eye-sight and was practically insane.
When found he was crawling around
on his hands and knees, imagining
that he was in his house. He was in
a starved condition and had evidently
been without food for several days.
His wife had left him and is running a

nobody to look after him. = <....

CROP CONDITIONS.
The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.

The Report of the Weather Bureau for
the Week Ending Monday.
The latter part Of the week was very
warm, with the maximum tempera-
lures ranging from 80 to 95 degrees.
Local and generally very. light.show-
ers early in the week relieved the ex-
tremely dry conditions hardly more
than momentary freshening of the
verdure. From the middle Minnesota
valley south ward, and in southeastern
counties lying along the Iowa line,
owing to rains Of previous weeks, the
drought is not felt so severely, but
even in these sections the crops are
not nearly as good as they are gen.
orally. Spring wheat seems to be
standing the dry conditions better
than oats and barley, but on sandy soil
this crop is said to be so dried up as to
be worthless for cutting; on heavier
soils all the small grains may yield
some grain, but the straw,is short, the
stand irregular and thinsand ,phesheads
small. Winter rye ana EEalsot. The small
acreage of winter wheat, is ripening.
Small grains: are being plowed up for
forage crops, and for fax in some Sec
tions. In the southern part of the
State corn and potatoes are doing
fairly well, though the stand as a whole
is not good; those best cultivated are
looking we'll. The upland hay is nearly
a failure, except in extreme southeast
ern counties, whore it is good, and
there clover is being cut. The wild
hay crop is poor. Apples are dropping
somewhat, but the crop is promising.
Small fruits need rain badly. Alum
dant rains will help potatoes, corn,
fax, pastures and lowland grass. AS
the necessity for sowing forage crops
for fall and winter use is daily grow
ing more apparent, it is we'll to remind
those preparing land for seeding dur
ing this drought of the very great
Importance of rolling land thoroughly,
and Immediately after blowing, and
frequent narrowing thereafter, to pro-
mote the rapid rise of sufficient mois-
ture from below for terminating and
growing the plants. This way of treat
ing most soils will insure a moist seed

Dear UNION:-If there is any found

for our journey has had certainly a
most auspicious beginning. -,
T. Since the moment of starting from
Minneapolis on the evening of the 18th
inst. we have had the most perfect
weather-cool and pleasant-a fact
which compensates for the rather un-
interesting scenery along the greater
portion Of our railway route.
Our train was on time, too, and this
was fortunate as we had but an hour at
most for the transportation of our
selves and baggage from the station to
the steamship docks in Montreal.
We were in season, however, and
shortly after 9 A. M. we steamed away
under the Union Jack amid a great
waving of handkerchiefs from crowds
upon the wharf and from many win
dows of the buildings along the shores.
The morning was pretty we'll occu.
pied in getting breakfast, regulating
our stateroom belongings, renting a
chair for the passage and eating our
midday lunch and now, at P. M, we
are moving smoothly along between
the Canadian shores with just enough
of cloud to cast soft haze over the
broad river with it's sloping, emerald
banks and shading to deeper tint.the
blue of the distant hills. -
Pretty little villages dot both shores
and upon the north we have passed
several pretentious towns. among
them, Three Rivers beautifully sit.

which it derives its name.

SAVE THE STOCK.
Don't Be in a Hurry to Let Your Cat
tie Go,

Don't Be in Hurry to Let Your Cat
tie Go.
Certain spectators in live stock are
taking advantage of the season of
drought to go about the country and
work upon the fears of the farmers,
getting them to dispose of their stock
at ruinous prices, says the Mi',',eopoks
Joanral Information has been re-
ceived from a certain locality, that
one man goes through the country
side, and talks to the farmers of the
certainty of poor crops and fodder ia.
mine. Two or three days later, along
comes his partner, who is looking for
cattle if he can get them cheap enough.
The farmer has thought over the stu
alton pessimistically, and decides that
he had better sell at any price rather
than have his cattle starve on his
hands or get SO thin that be cannot
dispose of them.
Dean w. M. Liggett, of the State
experiment station, has issued burle-
tin to meet this exigency, in which he
sets forth the reasonable position to
be taken by the farmers in the present
crisis. The bulletin is as follows:
Many farmers, alarmed at the short
age of pasturage, as we'll as oats and
hay crops. are already selling their
cattle. The only purchasers at low
price for speculation, are dealers. In
recent years much has been done to
stimulate the growth of live stock in
Minnesota, especially the cattle in
dustry. These cattle, and particularly
the females, are needed on the farm.
If sold now, how are they to be re-
placed? Fat stock of all kinds is sell
ling at good prices in the market
While the drought in the northwest is
serious, do not-evei4ook the fact that
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and
other states have an. abundance of food
of all kinds, and the farmers in these
states will be willing to pay good prices
for xstockers in the autumn months
Keep your growing stock and do every
thing possible to provide food for it,
which may be grown if rain comes
soon. Plant fodder corn5 as Bulletin
No. 10 directs, also other pasturage
and forage foods. Oats and barley
mixed, or oats alone, sown as late as
the first week in July, will furnish
large amount of pasture. Winter rye
sown at any time between now and the
first of September will also furnish
much pasture. That sown in August
may also be grazed the following
spring.. A full crop of rape may be
grown sown as late as the middle of
July. Rape we'll grown furnishes an
enormous amount of pasture. Rape
should be sown with drill if one suit
able can be had, but may also be sown
broadcast, using four to five pounds of
seed per acre, and covered with har-
row. Use the Dwarf Essex variety.
If no rain falls within reasonable
time and food cannot be grown and it
becomes necessary to sell much of the
stock, it should not be sold at a sacri-
fee, but there should be some intelli-
gent effort made by the farmers to ship
this stock to the best available market,
keeping the choice females.

ceive today:
Chicago, Oct. IL, 1900.
Dear Sir: In your communication
of the 10th inst, you refer to the fact
that the Republican party adheres to
it's doctrine that the constitution can
not be extended to new territory ac-
quired by he treaty making power of
our government, nor by the military
commanders of our armies. You then
declare that therefore the president was
not Obliged 10 refuse his approval to
that portion of the Sulu agreement
which permitted to the temporary con-
tinuance of the alleged slavery in the
Sulu islands. The point to which 1
called your attention in my commune
cation was that the president did re-
fuse his approval and therefore that
portion of the agreement is not exist
ing. l am gratified that you direct at
tention TO the fact that the present adj
ministra ticn does no require the force
of constitutional provision to prompt it
to recognize the rights of men. Permit
me, however, to call your attention to
the concluding words of the amend
ment to the constitution to which you
refer. Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude shall exist within the United
States or any place subject to their jul
risdiction.
while amendments to the constitu-
ton are under consideration will you
give an explanation of the discrepancy
between your platform this year and
the one on which Tilden made his can
vass? Your platform declares:
." We the representatives of the Dem
ocra tic party assembled in convention

of independence do reaffirm our faith
in our immortal principle of alienable
rights of man and give our allegiance
