It is understood to be the purpose Of the
State Department to make the cession Of

condition of the undertaking to build an

ground that It would not be prudent to

necessary to manufacture pure nitro-gly

dangerous undertaking.
The reports received by the directors this
afternoon were to the effect that while the

were closed by freezing. Thus the sensitive

the directors have learned the superinten-

assistants were more or less injured.
The value of the nitro-glycerine house
was $500. The directors met at II o'clock

Not Good for Poor 10.

raignment of the Indians on the Pom
ca, Otoe and Oakland reservations in

In charge of the reservations, In his
annual report to the commissioner.
The report says:
Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduated from non
reservation schools as well as those
who have attended for a number of
years, do any work at all. 1t can
be set down as a perfectly safe rule
that as a class, the young educated
Indians III the most worthless ones
in the whole tribe. Nearly all OF the
work done by the tribe is performed
by the middle aged ones, who cannot
write or speak English. The educat-
ed Indians coming from the schools
usually gives the xcuse that. he has
nothing with which to work, neither
money, implements or stock of any
kind. This is true, but ! noticed that
they manage to live on the a~nnuities
and lease money, and buy horses,
buggies, etc, on credit and borrow
money from the banks with but little
prospect Of ever being able to pay
their debts.
