THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

Representative Cannon, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, has
stated positively that none of the In
dian treaties, negotiated within the
last year by Inspector Mclaughlin,
shall be ratified at this session. There
are four or five of these treaties, in
volving somewhere near four millions
of dollars to be paid to the Indians by
the government. Treaties made with
the Devils Lake Indians in North Da-
kota and the Rosebud Indians in
South Dakota have given the delegates
from those two states a great deal of
anxiety. The Devils Lake treaty was
the first of the two to be negotiated
and Senator Hansbrough put it
through the senate last December. It
has been slumbering in the house
since, Notwithstanding the efforts
made by Congressman Marshall to get
it up for consideration. Now that
chairman Cannon has openly declared
that none of these treaties shall pass
the senate, members of the house who
are interested in them have concluded
to give UP the fight for the present
season.

When you feel as blue as hades,
And your liver's out of sorts,
And your only consolation,
Lies in reading death reports.
That's the time you should not miss it
It's guaranteed to cure your ills,
Cheaper than your patent nostrums
Surer than the doctors pills.
1t will clear your disposition,
Make you strong and bright and
merry
And this cure you'll find in seeing
The play of plays-called
