Naper, Neb. Oct. 10.--Big Bear,
a Sioux Indian, is murderer, and
fleeing from justice. Late Thursday
night, at the Ponca creek school, in
the South Dakota reservation, he
shot and instantly killed Boss Farm
er Edward Tayloe. He escaped
and in his fight met and killed John
ME Shaw, an Indian.
Ever since the order was issued
cutting down the rations of the In
dams by the department of the In
terror orders had been issued
} all the boss farmers to use extreme
delcacy in dealing with them on all
occasions.
To add to this ill-feeling, Agent
Charles A. McChesney and Special
Inspector Chubbock, who visited
Ponca creek school last Saturday.
issued an order forbidding the In
dams from selling wood outside of
the reservation.
The feeling ran much higher and
eliminated in the murder of the boss
farmer, whom the Indians ignorant
Iy blamed as the cause Of their griev-
anceS.
Bear asked permission Sunday of
Tayloe to sell some wood at Bones
teel, and was told of the new special
order, and the request was refused.
lie left the school in excessively bad
humor, and was not seen again until
Wednesday night. when he came to
the school carrying a shotgun and
asked for Mr.. Tayloe.
On being told he was in the school
room, Bear walked to that portion Of
the building. stepped close to his I'M
Suspecting victim and discharged the
gun full in his right breast.
Tayloe fell forward on his face and
died instantly.
His wife, who was 10 the room at
the time, dispatched the Indian police
with messages to the authorities re-
garding the critical state Of affairs
at the school, and also an urgent APP
peal to Naper, asking for immediate
aid.
A party was instantly organized
sufficient to police the station until
the arrival of federal authorities.
About one hour after the murder
of Tayloe took place, and three or
-four miles further south, Bear shot
and instantly killed Johnnie Shaw,
an Indian.
It is reported fom Bonesteel, S. D.,
that Bear had been arr rested there.

Senator Charles w. Fairbanks, Of In
diana, in commencement address said:
Our country Is growing better, not
worse. We hear much of the evil tend
encies of the times, or retrogression
But all countries and all times have
had those persons who look only upon
the dark and dismal side of things
'Nver since l began to make obserya-
lions of the state of my country, said
kord Macaulay, Il have been seeing
nothing but growth and hearing of
nothing but decay. The more l con-
template our noble institutions, the
more convinced l am that they are
sound at heart that they have nothing
of age but its dignity, and that their
strength Ia still, the strength of
youth This utterance is admirably
suited to the hour. We are not de-
cadent. We are the inheritors of the
wisdom of all the centuries past. We
are In the midst of yirile youth. No
great vice lies at the root of our growth
which promises to lay In ruins the
matchless fabric of our institutions"

People who are too sick with tuber-
culOsis to care what happens will be
delighted to learn of the new Balloon
Cure recommended by the faculty at
Paris All it ID necessary to do is to
place the sick party on his couch In a
new family balloon costing say $4,000
and, with a good, tried aeronaut in
charge, to rise to an altitude of 10000
feet Here the aeronaut drags his
foot over the. side and stops the bal
lOnn and the invalid takes the air Of
which there is plenty in the vicinity
that Is quite rare, the well-done air Of
the. lower attitudes not being recon-
mended. Every sick person should
be provided with parachute, 50 that
in case of too great disturbance in
the upper air currents it will be DOS
sible for the invalid to unlock his par
achute and drop gracefully down again
10 his sick chamber. To take this cure
good sturdy inyalids are required, ard
il might be well for the consumptive
to take course at the gymnasium on
the flying rings as preparation for
the strenuous balloon cure. At pres
ent, however: the matter is all I'D In
the air, but as measure Of precau-
tion 1t might be well to have. the upper
air currents thoroughly sterilized and
disinfected before their use.

Quarantine cost the country hundreds

The cleansing of Cuba, which makes
the quarantine no longer essential, re

The Agricultural Department has I'm
dertaken big job. 1t will try to re-
form the hog. 1t Is the theory Of the
department that the hogs heart is in
the right place, that in his pristine con-
dition he was Of exemplary habits, but
that he has fallen from grace. 1t Is
contended that the negligee appearance
of the modern hog and his slouchy man
ners are the result Of both heredity and
environment. For generations the hog
has been wallOwing in his own con-
ceft and in other things. Gross appe-
titles and slovenly toilet have caused
a loss of selfrespect. The hog is to be
given another chance. The unfeeling
advice to root hog or die" Ia to give
way to altruistic experiment. The hog
is to be rehabilitated. High-bred pigs

good. Unfortunately for the expert
ment, however, in one portion Of the
inclosure there is to be sty Of the
fathers, with its swill and mud holes
and all the sordid enticements Of the
world, the flesh and the devil. 1t is the
theory of the agricultural experts that
the hog under these new surroundings
and improved educational facilities will
eschew the mud and cleave to the high
er life. That is where the experts will
be disappointed. Is the hog superior

Scripture saith, the SOW will return to
her wallow, and so will these cultivated
pigs. They are built that way. The
primitive hog may have been an intelli-
gent gentleman of clearly instincts and
persuasive manners. but, like man, he
ate the apple and fell, and great was
the fall thereof. The cleanest hog in
America will backslide into the mud.
