Passing of Indian Domain.

With the opening of the Shoshone res
ervation to white settlement on August
is will pass away to the pale-face another
slice of the comparatively small and
steadily decreasing remnants of that CO.
lossal empire, extending from ocean to
ocean, over which the red man once ruled
as undisDuted lord and king. This res
ervation is just 80 years old. It's forma-
ton and occupancy dates back Ito the
treaty signed at Fort Bridger, Utah, July
3, 1855 between the Eastern Shoshones
and the Bannooks. This treaty gave to
these two tribes territory seventy miles
square, watered by the Pope-Agie, the
sweetwater and the Wind rivers Shortly
afterwards the Bannocks were given a
separate reservation and the Shoshones
were left in undisputed possession Gold
discoveries ct South Pass and Atlantic

! 1872 the Brunot treaty took from the In
dams all OF the southern part OF their
: reservation, including the mines

the ArapahOes on this tract. In 1875 the

the last named agreed to take UP their
residence on reservation set apart for
them in the Indian Territory, and they
started south from the Black Hills When
they reached the Platte river. in the east
ern part OF Wyoming. a division took
place. Part OF the band kept on and went
south, where they are now located. The
others decided they would go no further
until they could communicate with the
Great White Father" in Washington.
They were well pleased with the country
in which they were then stopping. and
they decided 10 ask for a reservation
there. Winter was at hand and the gov
eminent saw a serious problem. The
president sent Indian Agent James Irwin
TO investigate. He found the Indians al
most destitute. without horses or clothing,
and literally starving. Irwin reported
that the only means OF saving them was
TO get them to the Shoshone reservation.

enemies. could be persuaded to receive

shoshon, n Typical Town

The town Of Shoshoni, which. thanks to
the push and energy Of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, is the principal
point Of registration, is worthy of more
Il an passing notice. Situated on a semi
arid plateau a mile above the sea level,
about the same altitude as Denver, Sho-
shoni is in many respects a typical western
boom town. Nine months ago not a build
ing stood on its present site. Except for
an occasional Indian or shepherd, there
was hardly a sign of life in its vicinity.
Just prior to this land rush the population
closely Appropriated 1000. There are two
banks, two good-slzed hotels, two large
general stores, one Of which would do
credit to a city of 10000; two meat mar
kets, large hardware house, handsome
drug store, one fine clothing store and a
millinery store, displaying the latest crea-
tions OF this kind of art; two large livery
concerns, doing thriving business, and ex-
tensive lumber yards show that the place
is already center of business. On it's
northern outskirts stands log structure
which serves the incongruous ends of Jail
and church So far there have been few
calls for its use in the former capacity, al
though there are today in the town no less
than twenty saloons =
An agency of civilization has been in evil

though there is hardly a tree within ten
miles of Shoshoni, with the exception of a
struggling wooded fringe along the Big
Horn river, the scenery around is possessed
of certain grandeur of it's own. Fifteen
miles north of town, though apparently not
further distant than five miles, and circlng
from east to west as far as the eye can
reach, extend the Copper mountains, with
their sharp and rugged peaks, while on the

not appearing more than thirty miles rise

The Revival Meeting.

The revival which has been in pro-
gress at Main Street Methodist church
for more than two weeks has been
very interesting and successful meet
ing. Fer more than two weeks DR.. j.
A. Burrow has been preaching twice
each day; and his sermons have been
strong and refreshing. He is now just
" considered one of the ablest preach
ers as we'll as writers in the Holstor
Conference; and while he has hereto
fore been held in high esteem by the
people of Tazewell his work here dur
ing this meeting has endeared him more
to the Christian people of the commun
ity.
On last Sunday morning there were
ten accessions to the church, and since
then there have been six or eight pro
fessions. The meeting will continue
throughout the week.

A Correction.

Dec. 18th, 'O6.
To the Citizens of Tazewell Countyi
Since the present Board of Supervis-
ors has been in Office the County Levy
has been reduced from fifty cents on the
hundred dollars to forty cents on the
hundred dollars. We have heard it
rumored that the increase in taxation is
due to the building of the new Jail, but
this is a mistake, as we have been able
to build the new jail without any in
crease of the levy.
Last year the real estate Of the Coun-
ty was re-assessed, Mr.. E. King Crock
EFT being the assessor in the Clear Fork
District, and Mr.. G. w. Doak in the
Jeffersonville District, and Mr.. William
C. Williams in the Maiden Spring Dis
trict; and the increase in the taxation
is due to the increase in the assessed
value placed upon real estate by these
gentlemen.
Most Respectfully,

The YuIetlde PIalsance,

1t is two months now since we caught
tbe first rumors of this entertainment
which the ladies were planning for the
benefit of the Ce retery Improvement
Association, and although we heard the
affair was to be on quite an extensive
scale for SO small town, we never
dreamed, nor did any one else dream
that it could be made the grand success
that it was. The secret of this was that
all worked together, and never before
has our community been so united IN
any entertainment. Very few families
failed to send in something and the many
little contributions made a showing that
all were proud of. The managers OF the
various departments were faithful 70

BATTLESHlP CAN WHIP ANY IN THE
WORLD.
The Connecticut DemoIlshes all Records
In Naval Construction.

New York, Dec. 15.-Completely
equipped for service, the new battle
ship Connecticut left the New York
navy yard for the first time today bound
for Hampton Roads, Va, to join the
Atlantic feet.
Naval Constructor Baxter, who has
had charge of the completion of the
Connecticut, said:
"Here goes out ship which demol-
ishes all the records of the world in
naval construction. Not even Great
Britain, the leading country in ship
building, has ever sent one of its battle
ships to sea without preliminary deep
water trial. But l know enough about
the condition of the Connecticut to say
that at this very minute, though her
PROV has not yet cut the water of the
Narrows, she is ready to whip any bat
tleship in the world"

MURDER IS CHARGED
Action of DanvllIe Mayor In Case Of Ven
Accused In Connection With Wreck.

Danville, Va, Dec. 17.-The charges
of murder preferred against three en-
ployes of the Southern Railway who
figured in the responsibility for the
wreck here on December 9Th, which re-
suited in the killing of two men, were
discharged today in the Mayors Court,
The action of the Mayor was in ac-
cordance with the suggestion of Com
monwealth's Attorney Thomas Hamlin,
at whose instigation the NVsrrants were
issued.
Mr.. Hamlin's step not to prosecute
the employees was prompted by the YER
dict of the jury investigating the cause
of the death of the victims. The YER
dict places the blame on incompetent
employees and bad management, but did
not name any individuals.
The charges were against Operators
Skinnell and Clemmon and Flagmar
Null. No witnesses were examined.

their trusts and, according to promise,
had their goods ready for sale at one
o'clock Friday.
In the Bazaar, Mesdamos Peirce,
Alexander and Miss Graham sold articles
both useful and ornamental, many Of
which were sent by distant friends.
Before night they had taken in more
than $780,, and could have disposed of
double the amount of needle work if they
had only had it.
The household department was in the
hands Of Mesdames Ella Painter, W. T.
Gillespie, Werth and Stuart, and they
too, soon disposed of their $50. worth Of
goods.
The doll booth, in charge Of Mrs. W,
G. HARRISON, was center of attrac=
ton, not only to children, but to moth
ers and fathers as we'll. From 8 to 8
the children viewed the display, and not
until night were any dolls removed, thus
giving all chance to see.
At five o'clock, the oyster supper,
managed by Mesdames Bowen, Ken
drick, Moore and Moss, was served, and
surely an oyster supper never before
was more satisfactory. There was moth
ing stinted or inferior, and, at 25cts
plate, $780, taken in.
At night v en the lights were turned
on the old hall was scene of beauty,
and $50 people visited together In good
nature, and thoroughly enjoyed them
selves. Misses Nanola Gillespie, Jessie
Groseclose and Mamie Reynolds sat un-
der pink and white umbrellas selling
candy-the Japanese tea room, presided
over by Misses Graham, Martin, Stuart,
Buchanan and Pendleton, was the pict-
ure part of all the show, and many a
young man who went to drink tea,
fingered to talk.
The children's corner, managed by
Mrs. ]. D. HARRISON and Mrs. McBryde
was busy place, and the Gypsy Queen,
miss Weirman) in her tent was kept
busy until the lights were turned out, SC
great was the demand for 'ffort9nes.
Throughout the evening the eommittee
of managers, Mesdames G. W. st. Clair
and Barnes Gillespie. were everywhere
helping the various departments anC
looking after the crowd.
The Tazewell Military Band was quite
liberal With it's help, as was also Miss
Jeter's Glee Club from the public school
The Minstrel quartette kept ever!
body laughing for half an hour, and s.
we'll did they perform, that they have
been requested togive regular SHOW
at some time in the future.
1t is generally conceded that the Yule
tide Plaisance was the most successful
entertainment ever held in our midst
and we are glad to know the ladies ar
planning to give similar function mex
year. That is right. 1t is on such plan
that everybody can help. Every bod!
gets the worth of money spent, and al
can have good, easy Christmas reqH
ion.
The cemetery fund has to be kept up
. for the work planned is only begun a
vet, and it is expensive work. The re
cent entertainment cleared $500 and W
are all rejoiced that it did so well. Thi
shows what we can do when all pull tc

bv the House Committee, every nation
al bank meeting the requirements OF
the bill will be permitted to issue emer-
gency or credit currency in the sum Of
S97. 500 for every S1OO, 900 of its capital.
1t is maintained by the supporters of

TO PROVIDE
CREDIT CURRENCY
House Committee on Banking Decides
Upon a Report.
BASED ON PLAN OF The BANKERS
Some Changes in Measure Recommended
by Committee of National AsSOcia'
t;On-Suficient Elasticity Claim
ed for Proposed System.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency
decided today to make favorable re-
port on a credit currency bill which Is
but slightly different from the measure
advocated by the American Bankers
Association.
The Democrats in attendance were
Representatives Glass, of Virginia;
Lewis, of Georgia; Gillespie, of Te~asi
and Legare, of South Carolina.
SOME OF THE CHANGES MADE.
In the bill advocated by the bankers
it was provided that tax OF u per
centum should be paid by national banks
on credit currency equal to rs per cent
unn of their capital. The committee in
creased the tax on such bank notes to .
per centum. No change was made in
the provision that national banks may
also take out further amount Of ma
tional bank guaranteed credit notes
equal to 12s per centum Of its capital
with interest at the rate OF per cent
Nm.
Another change of Importance madf
BY the committee is providing that ma
tionaI banking associations desiring u
take out credit notes and having notes
outstanding in excess of ga per centuu
of their paid-up capital, may redeem
such excess without reference to the
limitation of SO, 900, 900 each month pre-
scribed by the act of July IL, 1882.
The bill as reported extends the priv
ilege of issuing credit currency only t'
national banking institutions which have
been in business for one year and hav'
asurplus equal to 20 per centum OF theil
capital. The national bank guaranteed
credit notes authorized by the bill ma!
be taken out for issue without deposi
of United States bonds as now required
by law. The notes will be Of form ant
denomination designated by the Comp
troller of the Currency.
