Hansbrough at the "U."

On Saturday evening last, Sena-
tor II. G. Hansbrough delivered
very interesting address before the
students Of the State University,
taking for his subject: "Some
Phases of Public Life at Wash
ington." The Plaindealer summa-
rizes the address as follows:
The speaker was introduced by
President Merrifeld, who spoke
very highly of the Senator's
courtesy and solicitude for his
many constituents. In the course
Of the address which followed,
Senator Hansbrough gave many
interesting glimpses of social life
in the capital, and it's advance
from the simplicity which marked
the earlier days Of the Republic.
He spoke also of the literary lights
of Washington, past and present,
Of Payne, Whitman, Thackeray,
Irving and Mark Twain, who was
once senate clerk, and the negro
poet Paul Laurence Danbar and
others. The public buildings of
the nations city came in for
share Of attention, and in the
course Of his address the senator
took occasion to express his pro-
found satisfaction at the defeat of
the river and harbor bill, a
measure which he declared entailed
the expenditure of a great amount
of public money.
At the close of the address
President Merri6eld appointed
Miss Brennan and Miss Skund-
berg, both Devils Lake young
ladies, committee to introduce
the senator to the students, which
duty they perfoxmed in graceful
manner.

The TREATY SIGNED.
Between the Government and the In.
dians Regarding the IN
allotted Lands

lands means much to Devils Lake.
The land is tributary to this city
and especially SO since the COM
pletion of the bridge across the
lake, which makes the reservation
but an hours drive from here. It
can be easily seen then how anx-
ious the merchants of this city are
to have the reservation opened.
NO one thing that might happen,
could do so much towards helping
Devils Lake, as the opening of
these unallotted landsand the rep
resentatives of this state in the
coming session of congress may be
relied on to do everything possible
towards the ratification Of the
treaty. The tracts of land to be
opened will not aggregate the
acreage contained in the Okla
homa tracts or others that have
caused rushes, but it is we'll known
that the lands on the reservation
are rich IN quality, and there is
little fear but that the rush will be
sufficiently large to crafty every
one here who wishes to see rush.

For years different commits
sioners have been sent by the gov
ernment to the Ft. Totten Indian
reservation with pr oposals for the
purchase of the unallotted lands
on the reserve across the lake, but
all have failed in their attempts.
When the Pelican Point bridge
was completed last summer, re-
newed effort was made for the open
ing Of the reservation and Senator
Hansbrough took hold of the mat
ter. Finally the idea was con-
ceived that the proper way to con-
fer with the Indians would be to
have some man whom they could
rely on negotiate with the copper
colored gentlemen. For a number
of years Major James Mclaughlin
has been the friend of the Indians
throughout the United States and
settled many disputes between
Chem and their white neigh hbors3
Major Mclaughlin came to Ft.
Totten in the early days when
soldiers were stationed there, as a
blacksmith; this was about 1870
and some years later the major by
his friendliness to the Indians and
his peculiar ability to pacify them,
attracted the, attention of the
higher officers and he was ap-
tpointed agent of the Ft. Totten
Indian reservation. He held this
position until 1882 when General
Sherman made trip to the various
forts in the United States, among
them Totten. At that time the
Indians at Standing Rock were
very troublesome. General Sher-
man at once became acquainted
with Major Mclaughlin and
learned how we'll he controlled the
/ Indians. He at once recon-
mended to the authorities that the
major be sent to Standing Rock.
After the majors arrival, the
Indians were quieted, except on
one occasion when Sitting Bull
gave his famous ghost dance at a
point some twenty miles from
4 Standing Rock. Major Nc
I Laughlin sent number Of
cavalry officers and men tc
the point with instructions
to arrest the famous chief. Mr.
Sitting Bull would not be arrested
alive, so they brought him back to
the head quarters at the reserva.
tion-a good Indian. Perhaps
this made the Indians love the
major more, for many Of them dis
liked the antics of Sitting Bull
Senator Hansbrough obtained the
consent of the government authori-
ties, allowing the major to confer
with the Indians in regard to the
sale of their unallotted lands. For
several days with the assistance OF
Major Getchell, the present Indian
agent at Totten, discussed the mat.
ter with the chiefs of the Wahpe-
| ton, Sisseton and Cuthead tribes
of Sioux, at the reservation, and
as result came to an agreement
last Thursday evening. On Satur-
j day afternoon, the treaty was
signed whereby the government
will BE allowed to purchase the
unallotted lands from the Indians
j, and throw the same open to settle

scattered over the reservation; I;
| they consist of some 100000 acres
tof excellent lands. Before the

Which Would You Rather Bel

The school children to the number of 600. have been answering this ques- tion: (Which would you rather be-a man or woman, and why?" Also the question. Which man or woman of whom you nave heard would you most wish to be, and why?"
 The American answers came from girls, and only a small percentage wanted to be men. In this respect they differ from German, and especially from English, girls. More New England girls desire to be men than Western girls. One Western girl says she thinks it is nicer to be women be- cause they have long and beautiful hair" Another says: q want to be a woman because I know many good women, and it is hard to find good men," That girl went down to basic facts. Another girl says. "Women can be in any profession, or if they do not want to be they can marry and do nothing" One girl is both philosophi- cal and critical, for she says: Girls grow into women, and I must. If girls grew up into men, there would be bet ter men, for girls are better than boys"
 The Western girls are as rule true to their mothers in saying whom they would like to be, but some name Flor ence Nightingale, Rosa Bonheuer, George Washington. New England girls placed George Washington and Helen Gould at the head of their list, while the Western girls were more in- clined to scatter their votes, and Helen Gould got few votes in the woolly sec tion. Helen Jackson, the poet, out ranks her in the West.
 These replies were obtained by the National Review of London, and they go to show that the American school girl is more independent, more inter- esting, more individual, and has loftier ideals than the schoolboys of her own land or the schoolgirls of other lands.

Sewers. Not Schools.

When Chairman Browne was plan
