A BRUTAL ACT.

An aggravated case Of brutality has
reached us from Il reliable source, to
the effect that six weeks old pup that
was presented to little daughter OF
the superintendent Of the boarding
school here by a friend and member OF
this reservation, had been thrown from
the second story window OF the school
to the frozen ground below where 1t
lay until picked up bruised and bleed
ing. by kind and human little hands,
though brown and bronZed in color,
which gave it the most tender care.
On the following day one OF the en-
ployes in the presence OF the "sclool
mess" made the unenyiable admission
that he had thrown the pup out OF a
window and one of the lady teachers
sitting at the table was courageous
enough to take him to task FOR his
wanton cruelty to the helpless, llttle
dumb animal, and administered well
merited rebute.
This act of cruelty, following as IT.
does graver charges against the em-
ployee referred to, is deserving OF the
severest censure, and we trust that
agent Michelet will take steps to curb
the ungovernable passions OF this man.

The ball given by the white Earth
.Cornet Band on Easter Monday was
grand success. The hall which had
been extended and enlarged was COM
fortably crowded, and the gayety ana
sladness that prevailed certainly
speaks of the pleasant crowd there
eathered. Music was furnished by the
White Earth Orchestra and the addl-
tion of several reed instruments and
the trombones were especially notice
able. We dare say that, our orchestra
is second to none in the county, and
I'VE thank the crowd who lend their
patronage to show their appreciation
6f the good work Of the organizations.

SCOTT STANDS FIRM.
RED LAKE AGENT FORWARDS TO PRESI.
DENT HIS ADVICE RELATIVE TO
THE INDIAN BILL.

Cass Lake, Minn., April Major
George L. Scott, acting Indian agent
at Onigum, has returned to Walker
While here he received a letter from
Indian Commissioner Jones saying
that thet president had verbally Or
dered him to ask that the major for
ward all correspondence and a copy OF
all Instructions or advice given to the
Indians or to the government employees
relative to the bill for the Red Lake
Indians.
Mai. Scott had anticipated this, and
had just been at the Red Lake agency
and held a council with the Indians.
He explained to them the good and
bad features of the bill, and read his
instruction from type written copy.
He gave copy to the Catholic preach
er and to the Indians, and will for
ward copy to the Indian commission
Ell for the president.
Mai. Scott is opposed to the bill: lie
thinks as Indian agent he should be
true to the Indians and protect their
interests. He would rather lose his
position than to do any act that ne
thought wrong, and lie feels that the
bill is an injustice to the Red Lake
Indians Minneapolis Tribune.
Within the grateful hearts OF the
Chippewas Of White Earth there dwell
a profound feeling OF universal appre-
citation for the noble, fearless munlfl-
cient attitude Major Scott has assum-
ed in relation to the Red Lake Act
and in the interest Of their Red Lake
kindred. Would that there were more
like him in the Indian service.
Here's luck to you Major and your
righteous advocacy Of Indian rights
and fair play.

tornado struck the town of Elmo,
No, eight miles south of Blanchard
and just across the Missouri state
line, at five O'Clock this evening.
Nine persoos were killed outright
and five were injured; some Of whom
may die.
The storm came from the north
east and first struck the Wabash
depot. The Masonic Temple was
the next building in it's path and it
was demolished. On the lower
floor of the temple was located a
general merchandise store, and, in.
the store was gathered a number
| Of citizens Of the town. The bull
ding was torn 10 pieces before any
| warning was received and the vic
Tins were buried beneath the wreck
age. Of the fourteen persons in the
store only Eve escaped death, and
these received injuries which in
two or three cases may prove fatal.
The storm passed OH through the
town leaving but few buildings
standing. A relief party at once
began the rescue of those in the
ruins of the temple, and nine bodies
were taken to an improvised NOR
que. Five others were taken out,
some with broken legs and arms
and in each casa serious if not fatal
injuries.
i The storm came on, with great
Isuddeness, and had destroyed the
town almost before the people re-
allied what had happened. After
leaving Elmo it continued and it is
feared that fatalities have occurred.
Several dwellings, are known to
have been blown to pieces, but the
fate of their occupants is un-
known. A deluge Of rain added Its
share to the misfortune Of the
stricken people, ans tonight the
homeless inhabitants are being
cared for at the few remaining
homes that escaped the fury of the
wind.
Salina, Kan, May 26.-This
city tonight is the, scene of the
worst flood in its history, fully 100
] families have been driven from
4 their homes, and the extent Of the
damages is estimated to be hund.
reds of thousands of dollars. An
other heavy rain fell tonight maxi
ling four inches of rain that has fal-
len during the last "a hours. The
northwestern portion of the city is
entirely submerged and women and
children were rescued from their
| homes in boats.
| The Missouri Pacific grade on
the west is holding back large and
threatening body of water. IF the
| water succeeds in crossing the
tracks, the entire western portion
of the town will be under water.
/ A passenger train on the Lincoln
branch of the Union Pacific is held
between two washouts two miles
north of here. The passengers were
brought to this city on handcars.
The Union Poetic tracks for three
miles west of here are warshed out,
and all through trains are running
over the Rock Island from Limon
Junction, Colo, to Manhattan, Kan.
The Union Pacific station here is
surrounded by water and the rail-
Iroad yards are flooded.
The entire district for miles
northwest and southwest from the
station Is flooded. AS far as the
eye can reach, the wheat fields
have been transformed into great
lakes of raging water. Crops are
ruined and homes deserted.

Omaha, Neb., May 26.-Reports
from various portions of the state,
Especially the eastern sections, show
that all day yesterday small twis-
ters and heavy rains marked the
phenomenal atmospheric conditions
of Nebraska. The total loss of life
30. far reported from the cyclones,
are two. At Springfield the rain
was so heavy that Turtle Greek
oyerfowed in four feet of water.
An icehouse was washed away and
the Fair Grounds destroyed.
The main storm was divided into
five cyclones which travelled stimuli
I'taniously. Funnsl-shaped twisters
of terrific force was the result.
Many persons were crushed to a
pulp. The Mumma farm house,
near Pauline was carried three
miles where it was scattered. The
largest piece picked up were the
bottom of chair. Of six persons
who were at the supper table at the
time, all were horrible mangled.
Mrs. Mumma's body, nudeand dis
bowled, was found. A string of
beads about her neck and a pair of
Shoes were the only articles left on
the body.
The path ofthe storm was SO mar
row at Pauline that eye-witnesses
say had the victims seen its ap-s
proach they could have taken a
few steps and escaped.
The storm eliminated this morn
ing in veritable cloudburst in the
eastern portion Of the state. 1t
reached cyclonic proportions again
at Lancaster County, and reports
received this forneoon say that in
town of Archer six houses were de-
molished and seven persons killed.
San Francisco, May 26.-There
is a great stir on change on the
subject of charters, as a shortage
! of the wheat crop of California,
lvariously estimated, is manifest.
tot long ago the outlook was good
/ for large crop Of wheat and bar
LEY. With that prospect in view
owners of ships all over the world
prepared ito send them to Califor-
MIA to get engagements. Then
came the long strike in the coal
mines of British Columbia. The
lack of coal on this coast, resulting
from the shutting down. of mines,
caused a number of vessels to start
to San Francisco with coal cargoes,
the owners expecting to get wheat
and barley cargoes out from this
port. The general outcome of
these conditions is that there are
on the way to San Francisco vessels
having a total tonnage Of 4o2 900
tons. In this port the disengaged
tonnage amounts to SO, Goo tons.
A comparison with the conditions
last year at the corresponding
period shows then there was on the
way to the Port of San Francisco,
259,ooo tons, and disengaged tom
mage in port was 24,5oo tons in
total. A short time since charters
were closed in San Francisco for
carrying wheat in July and August
at Fl shiliings 8 pence. Charters to
carry wheat in August, September
and October were closed at ~ shil-
lings 6 pence. Several vessels are
reported to have been chartered at
the last mentioned-rate. On the
way from Astoria to this port are
SO vessels, the largest fleet from
that direction on record.

Circuit Court.

The fall term of the circuit
court adjourned from last Mon
day, was convened at the court
| house in this city on last Thurs
day afternoon at two O'Clock,
Judge Sykes presiding and Dis
trict Attorney Barron looking
after the interests of the State.
After the organization of the
court. the selection of the grand
and petit iuries, as published be-
low. Judge Sykes began his
charge to the grand jury. That
body was presided over by Mr..
Thos. Harris, quite a compli-
ment and honor to so young a
man. Judge Sykes went over
the usual charges to the jury,
enumerating the crimes common
to this section and defining the
province of this body relative to
their duty thoroughly and clear
ly. He referred to the blind tiger
evil and the illegal sale of wills
key, and in this connection re
ferred to the case of soliciting
orders for whiskey. Judge Sykes
made clear the distinction be-
tween selling whiskey and solic-
iting orders for the same.
1t will be recalled that N. d.
Robinson, of Carrollton, Ala,
was fined by Mayor Gunter, of
this city. $4,000 for selling wills
key. Under the decision of the
Supreme Court of this State,
cited by Judge Sykes, Robinson
could not be convicted upon the
charge of selling whiskey on this
count but he could be indicted
for soliciting, which, under the
code. as stated by the presiding
judge, is a separate offense. The
charge was a good one and was
listened to by the
members of the body addressed.
The dockets were sounded and
the civil cases set for this week,
after which the criminal cases
were taken up. Up to last night
the following had been disposed
of:

he com planned of indigestion and
DR.. Davis was called and soon

called by his wife and failing to

it availed nothing, the spark of
life was extinct, Mr.. Selig was
