an audience which taxed the capacity

the platform was frInged with the

Rev. Mlllctt introduced the speaker
OF the evening, taking occasion, at
the same tune, to remark on the un-
usual amount of law gathered wit hin
the four walls. Before the address,

fectively "Ilail Columbia" In his

he desired to speak OF Washington,
not as the great general, not as the
statesman, but as Washington, the
man. The address was enc which
held the close attention and interest
OF the audience from beginning to
end ard Rev. Millett's hope that the
judge might be induced to take up the
subject again at another anniversary
was heartily echoed bv all. At the
close, the pastor spoke briefly drawing
attention to the likeness between
Washington and Moses, both giving
up their wealth and royal favor to
suffer with their own people.

viii Not Accept Money

The Sioux Indians who live in the
Bull Creek district, on the Rosebud
reservation, have just held an lm-
portant council, at which the ap-
pioaching payment to the Indians OF
tho purchase price for the Al 900
acres OF land which they ceded to the
government last year was discussed
The Indians decided To take DO
sition directly opposite to that of tie
commissioner Of Indian Affairs, and
unless either party recedes from its
position, trouble and suffering will
ensue.
The commissioner Of Indian affairs
proposes to give cash payment Of
$25 to each adult Indian only. The
Indians demand their children's
money also. Three Sioux warriors
from the Bull Creek district, S. La
point. One to Play With and Eating
Walker, recently went to Washington
for the purpose Of discussing the mat
ter with the commissioner OF Indian
affairs,
They have now returned and report
to their bretheren that they secured
little satisfaction. The Indians OF
the district then called council and
decided not to accept any money at
all unless the payment Of $25 to each
man, woman and child was made.
The Indians take this position not
withstandlug the fact that many Of
them have scarcely enough to eat and
have not sufficient clothing to keep
them warm.
The commissioner OF Indian affairs
fears the Indians would spend too
much for whiskey II they were per-
mltted to handle their chiIdrer's
money as we'll as their own.
In reply to this the Indians ask:
''Why pot look after the parties that
sell the xhlskey aud not cause good,
temperate Indians and the women
aud children to suffer through the
illegal sale OK intoxicating liquors?"
Should the lemainde: Ut the Brule
Sioux Indians sustain the action Ut
their brethren living 10 the Bull
Creek district, the situation might
easily become serious, as the Indians
90 the Rosebud reservation are the
most Warlike OF all the Sioux tribes.
