SIOUX DECLINE TO SELL.

The Sioux Indians belonging on the
Rosebud reservation lear Sioux Falls,
S. D., have not yet consented to the
~surrendering to the government of
that part of their reservation which is
situated within the limits of Gregory
county. Some opposition has devel-
oped. The tract proposed to be opened
contains an aggregate Of 4l6,OO0
acres of land, which, when opened to
white settlement, will furnish farms
of 100 acres to each of about $500
homesteaders. Major James McLaugh-
lin, inspector of the Indian bureau at
Washington, has been at the agency
for a period of three weeks ~endeavor-
ing to secure the signatures of the
Indians to the amended treaty enact
ed by congress for the surrender of the
land. The several thousand Sioux on
the reservation were assembled at the
gen where a number of councils
were held, at which Inspector Nc.
Laughlin explained the provisions of
the treaty. The councils terminated
rather unsatisfactory. On the reser-
walton reside a number of Ponca In
dams, and it is among them that the
chief opposition to the treaty devel'
oped.

Oklahoma Teaches Statehood.

The territorial board of education
In Oklahoma has issued and placed in
the public schools a book setting
forth reasons why Oklahoma should
be admitted into the union. A copy
is to be given to every pupil with the
view to making statehood a feature
in every home. The book shows that
50 per cent of Oklahomans read and
write, that there are $1,35Q,000 invest
ed in public school houses employing
5000 teachers, and that as to area the
territory could swallow up several
New England states and have room
for more. The book is not of political
nature.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN

In Other Parts of the Country the
Temperature is Favorable-Rains

tributed-General Conditions Not
Bad.
Washington special.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
The northern districts east OF ths
Rocky mountains, as In the preceding
week, have experienced temperatures
of crops, but elsewhere the temperas
ture has been very favorable. The
rains have been general and well dis
tributd as a whole, but limited areas
in the south Atlantic and gulf states
and portions of the upper Ohio and
lower Missouri valleys continue to
need rain. The west gulf coas districts!
and southeast Minnesota have suffer-
rainy wather has been unfavorable for
farm work in New England and the
middle Atlantic states. The weather
conditions on the Pacific coast have
been favorable, especially for harvest
ing in Oregon and Washington.
Corn is making favorable progress
in the central and western portions OF
the corn belt, but in the upper Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic states the
outlook is less promising. While the
improvement has been generally de-
cided in the states of the Missouri and
upper Mississippi valleys, in the more
n~ortherly portions Of these state the
crop is in need of warmth.
Rains have checked somewhat the
progress of . spring wheat harvest.
which, however, Is now general
throughout the spring wheat region.
In North Dakota recent weather has
been favorable for the development
of late grain, while in southern Min
nesota rust and chinch bugs have ser
iously affected the crop. Harvest is
advancing rapidly in Oregon and will
soon begin in Washington.
The oat harvest is nearly finished ex-
cept in New York, where it has just
begun. The reports generally indicate
that yields are disappointing.
Generally cotton has made favorable
progress, but continues unusually late.
Some complaints of rust are received
from South Carolina, Florida and Mis-
sissippi.
In Pennsylvania and New England
tobacco is in need of sunshine and
warmth and in Ohio it's condition is
only fair, but elsewhere the crop is
doing well.
In Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Virginia and Maryland tho
outlook for apples ranges from fair to
good. In New York less than an aver
age crop is promised; elsewhere the
crop is light.

a THOUSAND DEER.

Ten hundred deer will be liberated
from Buckwood Park, near Shawnee,
Penn, at an early date, and farmers
who live in the vicinity fear that the
animals will destroy their grain, vege-
tables and shrubbery. G. @. Worth
lngton, the millionaire owner of the
park, will llperate the herd because
they have denuded the park of every
thing which is palatable to a deer. If
the fences are kept up, the game war
den says, the animals will starve. They
had a hard time last winter, and it will
be much worse next.

lars, WHICH SUM may IdlIIy be Sdlu "
represent the proprietary interest Of
the state in the Illinois Central rail-
road. The total receipts of the state
from this source, from the completion
of the railroad in 1855 to date, are
$50, ,5S9, 1868. There has been rapid
and steady increase in the growth of
this fund from 1894, when it amounted
to S553, ,911.49, indicating the growing
prosperity of the state, as well as of
the railroad company. The amount re-
ceived during the past year is the larg-
est amount ever received in one year,
and indicates that this year the re-
ceipts will exceed full million dollars.
Governor Tanner said in his message
to the forty-second general assembly:
1.-THE collection of this great revenue
costs the state nothing, and it is prob
able that no state in the Union pos
sesses so valuable and promising
source of revenue for the next fifty
years as was provided in the old "Act
to Incorporate the Illinois Central Rail-
rotad company, approved Feb. 10.
1851" His statement is emphasized
by the fact that in the past two years
the annual income from this source
has become nearly 100000 greater.
Conclusion of Message.
The governor here pays high trib-
ute to the elective state officers, and
concludes his message as follows:
Regarding the several appropriations
or suggested in the
course of this message, it is my de-
sire that they be considered in strict

tion of the state. Parsimopy is not
