SORROW FOR THE INDIAN.
Commissioner Jones DEGREES That Poor
Lo Must Wear Short Hair and
Cease to Pa mt.

Washington, Jan. 1s.-The passing
of the Indian has been decreed by the
secretary of the interior. The red
man will cease to wear his hair long,
paint his face and enliven the journey
to the happy hunting ground with
sacred dances. Indian Commissioner
Jones sent to the agents in charge of
Indian reservations throughout the
country an order, which, in substance,
is as follows: The wearing of long
hair by the male population of your
agency is not in keeping with the
advancement they are making, or will
soon be expected to make in civiliza-
ton. The wearing of short hair by
the males will be a great step in adj
\ vance, and will certainly hasten their
progress toward civilization. Paint
ing of the face is also a relic of bar
barism and must be stopped.

good, and this year 1900 our crop is
excellent. Our wheat will yield about
twenty bushels to the acre, the oats
and barley are also very good, and
our potatoes and root crop all that
could be desired. We consider this a
fine country, and are glad we came, as
our prospects could not be better. A
