tFrom a stan Correspondent

sisted IN domlneerlng over them. Bear
Heart was the head man Of an aggrega-
ton of a band Of forty odd Indians, com
prising a whole miscellany of aborginies.
Last night he tanked up on firewster and
with this informed the Indians that he
had used his influence to secure a raise
in their pay. Until this morning the
whole Indian aggregation was in state
OF glorincation and intoxication over the
prospective increase, but when the re-
port came to the ears of the management
of the show prompt steps were taken to
dsillusionize the redskins, and then buck
and squaw, papoose and pack went on
strike to have the false prophets re-
| moved. on the ground that they were
heap bad Injuns."
Forthwith they struck out for the Bur-
Mngton station, carrying their belongings
on their backs. The showmen made haste
to have Chief Bear Shield and No Heart
locked up and finally by promising to
discharge the two offenders appeased the
wrath of the strikers, who slouched back
| to their own tepees and their hearth
fires. The two offending redskins were
shipped on to the Sioux agency in South
| Dakota
| Increase IN Salaries.
Thirty-hve county superintendents In
| the smaller counties of the state will
| have an increase in their wages after
July Q. Such is the decision of Attor-
ney General Prout, to whom was re-
| ferred the question of the Interpretation
Of house roll 1a by Gregg. calling for
! a raise in the salaries OF the county su-
perintendents in smaller counties accord
ing to the population OF their counties.
| In accordance with the opinion of the
legal department of the state government,
| Superintendent Fowler will take steps TO
| notify the various county boards that the
county superintendents In the counties
affected are entitled to increased pay as
soon as the law goes into effect. The
county commissioners will have to take
action at the next regular meeting after
the law goes into effect. II they fail tc
do so Il is said that they would be liable
70 be mandamused to perform their duty
The bill does not aftect the larges
counties of the state, those that are az
fected being ones with less than 2,6oC
school population. Under the new Law
superintendentS in counties having from
1900 to 1850 school population will re.
ceivo not less than $500. Those having
from 800 to 1900 school population viii
get 5000 to $500.
The law provides that the salaries shall
be fixed by county commissioners at the
January meeting of the board, but the
attorney general is of the opinion thai
the commissioners must nevertheless make
| provision for the increased salary as soor
as the law goes into effect on the grounC
that the new law will be the only war
rant for the payment OF salary.
Matron for GirIs' school.
Governor Mickey today appointed Mis-
Lydia Mcmahon of Columbus matron o
the Girls Industrial school at Geneva Th'
| new matron Is at present the sewing
teacher of the school and displaces Mrs
Van Cleave. She will continue to be thu
sewing teacher, but will draw salary fo
J one ONCE only. 1t Is said there had beer
friction between Superintendent Clark an'
, Mrs. Van Cleave, which accounts for he
} retirement to private life.
The Geneva school came very near beinI
the cause of some little trouble in the lat
legislature, but It didn't. The visiting com
mittee decided informally to recommend
the displacement of Superintendent Clarl
, and a resolution was drawn up to tina
effect. but for some reason It was neve
presented.
