SIOUX INDIANS.

For years there has stalked through
the corridors of the Capitol Il bill for
| the relief Of the Sisseton and Wahpe-
ton bands OF Dakota or Sioux Indians.
Indian committees as frequently as the
bill appeared would hit 1t with the
mailed hand. Just M serenely, how
ever as the season for the assembling
Of Congress required, the bill for the
relief Of this particular band OF
Sioux Indians would bob up in
both houses To the saternine
delight of the members Of the
indian committees The bill was
being urged by a brother-in-law OF
former Senator Pettigrew Of South Da-
ltota. once Republican but afterward
a Popuhst representative of that state

years an effort was made To appropriate
vast sums OF money which II was al

ton and Wahpcton band Of Dakota or
Sioux Indians because they had been
deprived of their annulties growing
out Of the war which one OF these
bands preciptated against the United
states IN 1862 and '63. Finally after
persistent effort the case was sent to
The court of claims for findings of fact

Game Failed 10 MaterlaIlze.

Teams representing the Uui-
versity of Georgia and the A. &
M. College were scheduled to
play a game of football at Stark
vile last Monday, but for some
reason the Georgians failed to
put in an appearance, so the
game of course did not material
ize. This game was originally
scheduled for COlum bus but the
A. g. M. team became somewhat
chagrinned at the defeats re-
ceived at the hands of the Tusca-
loOsa and Oxford teams in this
city and transferred the game to
Starkville. 1t is to be hoped,
however. that the boys from the
college in our neighboring cOun-
ty, which is looked upon as one
of the most progressive institu-
tiOnS Of its kind in the South,
will not allow themselves to be-
come prejudiced against Colum-
bus merely on account of the
fact that they happened to be de
feated here twice in succession,
for both the institution and it's
team have many admirers here,
and the games are always pa
trOnized.
According to the rules of the
Southern Intercollegiate Athlet-
ic Association. the action Of Capt.
Billy" Green, of the A. and M.
team, in leading his men off the
field before the conclusion of
the game which was played the
University of Alabama in this
city several weeks since will not
be ruled upon until the end of

cumberIand reIephone Co. eases

The Cumberland Telephone
Co. has secured a long lease on
the entire upper floor of the
building owned by Prof. J. NJ.
Barrow at the corner of Market
street and North Second avenue,
and will occ py the same as
soon as the work of rebuilding
tile local lines, which is now in
progress, is com pleted. This
work will be done in a most
thorough manner. it being the in
tention of the company to re-
build the entire system, putting
in new wire and heavier poles
throughout the entire city and to
place all the wires in the business
section in cables. 1t will of course
require considerable length of
time TO complete this work, so
that it will be several months be-
fore the company will move into
its new quarters.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Thornburgh, the eff
ficient manager Of the local ex-
change, was seen by a DISPATCH
reporter Monday, and stated
that the company now has a
large force of laborers at work
on the line between this city and
Memphis and that it is hoped t o
to com plete the work within the
next thirty days The compile
ton of this line will put Colum-
bus in close touch with the out
side world, and will be a great
convenience to our business men
aud to the public at large.
The fact that the Cumberland
company is improving its local
service and is extending its main
line to Columbus is additio nal
proof OF the fact that the city is
growing and that it's Importance
as commercial center is being
generally recognized.

Sloan's brother. who is now

Sloan, while flashiy attired aud
quite a fluent Ia ker on general
topics, was always reticent re-
garding his personal history, and
the only relative ever mentioned
by him was a brother, whom he
said was travelling in Japan and
from whom he is known to have
received at least one letter dur
ing his residence in this city. 1t
is this brother who has been
heard from, and it is probable that
he will visit Columbus some time
in the near future. His coming
is awaited with great deal of
interest. as there are many of
Sloan's former acquaintances
who had their curiosity aroused
and who will be glad to learn the
history of his life prior to his ad-

Geological Survey.

This paper is in recent OF a
letter from Congressman Can
dler in which he states that some
time since he addressed letter
to the director of the Govern
ment Geological Survey at
asking that a typo
and ge Biological survey
of the Tom b!gee valley be made,
and in reply thereto is in receipt
of a letter from Mr., c. w. Hayes,
the geologist in charge. saying
that a geological reconnaissance
of the territory adjacent to the
stream will be undertaken and
the desired information fur
nished Mr.. Gambler.
The letter from Mr.. Hayes
bears date of Nov. 3, and as the
party of civil engineers who are
now engaged in work in this vi
cinity have been here a month
they cannot possibly be the ones
referred to. 1t is stated that a
second party of men are to
make their appearance here at an
early date, and it may be that
they are the ones who are to
make the geological reconnois-
ance. the first party having evil
IDENTIFY been engaged in making
a geodetic survey.
