A LITTLE SKIRMISH
uTES AND TROOPS SkIRMiSh
 BUT ONLY PONIES KILLED.
Indians Outnumbered Whites and Re- captured Fifty Ponies-No Shots
 Fired by Either Side.

Sheridan, Wyo.-A skirmsh oc- cured October 30 between a band of renegade Ute Indians and troop of the Tenth Cavalry on Bitter Creek. according to word brought by a spe- clal courier. The troops had cap tured fifty Ute ponies and frightened five herders. As the troopers were driving the ponies away, one hundred Utes, fully armed, surrounded the cayalrymen and the ponies, stamped ing the ponies with revolver shots and native war whoops. The Indians recovered all their ponies but five that were killed by the troops in an effort to stop the stampede
 The Indians did not fire at the sol diers, and the soldiers desisted from attacking the Utes as the redskins greatly outnumbered them.
 Another detachment of the Tenth Cavalry that left Sheridan ran across a wandering band of one hundred Crow Indians under command of Chief Sweet Mouth. The troopers drove the Crows back to the Crow agency. The Crows denied any inten- tion of joining the Utes.
 Still another squad of the Tenth Cavalry fell in with band of Chey- enne Indians, who, on representation that they were hunting, were allowed to go on in peace
 Settlers charge that Indian guides employed by the Federal troops are acting treacherously and leading the troops on false trails to keep the sol diers from overtaking the Utes.
 These settlers mention among the willy guides Woman's Dress, Amer lean Horse and White Cow Bull.
 Some troopers of the Tenth Cav airy marched all night, October 29, to capture a small band of Utes re ported to be encamped on Bitter Creek, but found no Indians at the designated place. Trainmen arriving report that one hundred Sioux are wandering fifty miles northwest of Sheridan. The Utes, it is said, make forced marches northward by night, hiding from the soldiers by day in the broken country through which they are travelling. The Utes should soon arive in Birney, it Is thought.

TO HAVE PARLIAMENT
ROOSEVELT PROMISES IT TO THE
 PHILIPPINE PEOPLE.
GOOD BEHAVIOR THE PRICE
Taft to Go to Islands and Witness the Installation of Assembly Next
 March.

Washington, D. C.-The presi- dent is preparing to redeem his prom ise, made to the Philippine people through Secretary Taft, that they shall have Parliament of their own con ditioned upon good behavior for a term of two years, and it is understood that Secretary Taft himself will pro- ceed to the Philippines next spring to witness the installation of the new form of representative government
 On March 27, 1905, the Philippine census was published, and conse- quently two years from that date, March 27, 1907, under the terms of the act of Congress, the President will direct the Philippine Commission to of delegates to what is known as the Philippine Assembly. This body is to take over all legislative powers here, tofore exercised by the Philippine Commission in that all parts of the archipelago not inhabited by Moros or non-Christian tribes.
 Filipinos Grows Restless.
 As this date draws near the Philip pine people are showing signs of agita. tion and to the officials here it is evi- dent that they are expecting some benefits that cannot at once be realiz. ed.
 For instance, the assembly of provis- ional governors recently in session in Manila, with view to arranging the preliminaries for the meeting of the Philippine Assembly, is reported to have recommended that the suffrage be widely extended.
 It Is pointed out here that this is not possible for the reason that the act of Congress under which the as- sembly will be convened expressly states the qualifications. of voters.
 These, in brief, are that the voter must be at least 23 years of age (which was the Spanish requiremenb :: must be able to read and write either Spanish or English; must own a cer- tain small amount of property or must have been in the past an office-holder under the Spanish government
 These qualifications were framed upon the old Spanish practice and no Philippine Assembly can change them. The new assembly or legislature will consist of two houses to be known as the Philippine Commission and the Philippine Assembly, the latter to consist of not less than 50 nor more than 100 members.
 It is possible that the present com mission will be merged in the upper house.

UTES BELIEVED REINFORCED
100 CROW INDIANS HAVE DiSAP.
 FEARED.
Possibility That Army Will Have Three Tribes of Redskins to
 Conquer.

Sheridan. Wyo.-About one hun dred Crow Indians have disappeared, and reports brought to this place say that they are making for the camp of tho Utes who are on the Big Powder River.
 The Crows know of the trouble the Utes are in and are friendly to the red skins on the warpath The Crows also known of the strength of the whites.
 There is much conjecture whether the Crows will aid the Utes. If the Cheyennes of the reservation, near where the Utes are now camped, can be persuaded to join the Indians, the Crows may be induced to take arms against the troops
 The Crows are traders and probably realize the consequence of fight with the soldiers more than the Utes, un- less they become intoxicated with the hopes of victory.
 The Tenth and Sixth Cavalry will probably join each other this evening, the Sixth being due over the Burling- ton. early today. The Crows left camp upoh hearing of the approach of the Sixth.
 The troops are reported to be near the Indians. A fight was expected Monday when 1t was believed that nearly 1000 troops would be concen- trated around the redskins. No news of the meeting with the Indians has reached here, however, and it is pro. bable that the attack will be post. poned until the Sixth and Tenth meet and go to the camp.

address, his subject being sConsolida-
tion." So much time was taken up

to summarize the address. Mr.. Olsen
spoke of travelling over this county
nine years ago, and of the great
changes that had been wrought on
the farms since that time. But the
school buildings are not much better
than they were then. He then went
on to sp eak of consolidation OF the
larger districts, and spoke of the
many advantages thereof, citing
eleven reasons why consolidation was
advantageous.

for the high school can be SO correlat-
ed, even in the country schools, that
the same mental effort required for
the learning of the former may also
be used in the mastery of the latter.
The practical application of the
theory was to the teaching of reading,
writing, spelling and language thru
the medium of history and geography.
1t is hoped that this might so econom-
ize time that the important and neg
lected knowledge subjects of nature
study and literature might find place
even in the most elementary Of
schools.
Supt. Brown, of the Indian School,
discussed the paper.
Supt. Olson, in speaking of the
matters Of prime importance in edu-
cation, said that the time had come
to lay emphasis upon that education
that relates to the bread and butter
side of life-agriculture, Rational
work in nature study leads to the
study of agriculture. The time was
when anyone could farm with cheap
land but now with the higher price of
land, more education is necessary.
Another matter of prime Importance
was that all, teachers, officers and
patrons, take the deepest interest in
the schools, affording them financial
support, sympathy and cooperation.
The teacher should form q well de-
fined idea OF the meaning of educa-
ton, and welldefned moral stand
ards, but the responsibility must be
born by all, teachers, school officers
and parents, who must all cooperate.
At the afternoon session, Miss
Pickens of the Lincoln school, had
a model class of about IS first grade
pupils. To teach oral language work,
the story of buckwheat was acted
dramatically and by questioning, the
children were led to make correct
English sentences. The children were
given some work in expression by a
reading drill on sentences admitting
of marked expression. This portion
Of the program excited much interest,
and was of much practical benefit to
The teachers. Miss Piekens conducted
