Mrs. c. T.. Douglas, who i'm time

case in the office.
The first twenty miles or more
was thru II broken and hilly
country, our road taking us
across Stove creek about eight or
ten miles from its mouth, which
could not be classed as very good
agricultural country, being un-
lit for wheat and other small
grains. CThis, tho, needs to be
qualified by saying that it was un-
fit foT grain raising ON the large
scale employed by the farmers of
prutr,r countries After get
ting out of the valley of Stove
creek, we came to the valley of
Virgin creek, and passed Fred
LaPIant's S ranch about three miles
from the scene of the celebration.
Here the scene changed to a prai-
ric stretching for miles away to
the west and northwest as far as
the eye could see. This creek is a
dry one most of the year. drain
ING a country some 35 miles long
and cmptying on the north into the
Moreau river. There are a great
; number of water holes here and
the prairie has the appearance of
having u good supply of water
underlying it, ut Il convenient

tlons respecting the conduct of
the Indians. These were brief
and consisted only of such as had
already previously been issued to
govern the celebration. These
regulations prohibited soldiers
lodges and giving away of pres
ents, but expressly permitted as
we understand the Old time Tn
dians' dances. And so far as we
could see with our own eyes, the
Indians obeyed both or all to the
letter.
Hon. G. III. Burke was next in
troduced and spoke for over an
hour, his remarks being interpret
ed by Rev. Ashley. His address
was mainly devoted to the legisla-
tion that had been enacted by
Congress for the benefit of the
Sioux, and protestations that he
was their friend and that the gov
ernment-especially Commission
er Leupp-was inclined to do any
thing in its power to aid and assist
them. And he trod on some dam
gerous ground as the final wind
up demonstrated. At the conclu-
sion of his talk he stated that he
would be glad to shake hands with
any of his audience and assist them
individually to the extent of his
power. This had the effect of an
after meeting in which Mr.. Paddy
Miller, of Whitehorse was ''inquis-
itor general and Felix Benoist,
interpreter. Mr.. Miller occupied
the ''floor' (ground in front of
the speakers stand) for about
half an hour. plying Mr.. Burke
with numerous questions for the
purpose of getting information
respecting allotments, leases,
treaties &c. finally leading up to
the question as to who was the
rightful owner of the various
Indian reservations. This was
the climax and the meeting" was
adjourned by Mr.. Burke giving an
evasive answer.
!, After dinner came the grand
parade which was over half a
. mile in length, the leaders being
. costumcd in their old time suits,
with painted faces, ditto horses.
Next came the foot races, tug
of war, horse races, and base ball
the two latter taking place at the

There were three foot races and

Friday morning the crow(?) and
grass dances were given, which
occupied about two hours. Our
pen fails us in attempting to de-
scribe this i'm full. 1t was per-
formed in the open air, under a
high American flag, and was wit
messed by not less than thousand
spectators. The only musical in
strument used was big base
drum, on which eight or ten
"bucks'' pounded in unison, while
the rest of the company kept up
the accompanying chant or song,
the men adorned with all kinds of
gay colored feathers. several also
/ carrying standards, and the
women adorned with bright
beads and elk teeth. Into
this dance the all-round sport
Mr.. II. c. Craig, was invited to
join, were not able to distin-
guish whether by a beautiful maid
en- or stalwart squaw; and Mrs.
Lcvengood was inveigled by a
warrior bold. The marching. or
dance, was around the big flag
pole, next to which sat Col. Downs
and half dozen friends.
The sham battle between some
fifty Sioux on one side and fifty
Grow Checkers on the other, took
place while another crowd of In
dians representing cowboys per-
formed several feats, on the same
side of the big square. These
sports consisted of foot races,
wrestling matches etc, including
the act of stopping for dinner
when on the roundup, and ended
by chasing and lariating a bunch
of ten steers which were trailed
one by one to the various spots on
the sides of the square where they
were to be killed and distributed
to the occupants of the tents.
The plan of the sham battle was
that of pursuit, the leading party
suddenly wheeling about and each
{ individual trying to kill his foe
without form or organization.
Nearly or quite all carried regular
, repeating rifles or shotguns, from
, which blank cartridges were fired.
Every evening the air was filled
with the drumming and singing of
e the old time Sioux dances, while

boys and girls would have made

WHOLLY UNDFMocRATIC.

The True Democrat: The True Dem
ocrat is second to none in doing full
credit to the Superintendent's ability
and his sincerity in pushing the work of
education in Louisiana. Common JUS
tee demands that these concessions be
fully made, and it never grieves us to
eh ose righteous judgment. But frankly
sI,eaking, Prof Aswelfs policy in deal
ing with local questions in the schools
throughout the State is abhorrent to lis
as autocratic, wholly undemocratic, and
so untactful as to have bad rather
than good effect upon educational
matters from the viewpoint of local
self government of the schools. 1t Is
true that Mr.. Aswelrs masterful meth
DDS have been due to an overwhelming
desire for progress, which in itself is
highly conmendable, but which pursued
without regard for the rights of others,
must cause confusion and disaffection.
Haste made little more slowly would
have resulted IN tar more good ano
would have brought more cheerful
compliance with the Aswellian require
ments.
All this is not felt by the True Dem
ocrat only. but by the school boards and
teachers and pupils throughout the
State, so many of whom have heart
burning grievances, and it is possible
THAT when the voters reach the polls, hi:

election and also the passage of con
stitutional amendment raising the Su
lperintendent, j. e. his salary, will have tc

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Negro Fined Forty Dollars and the
Kellys Discharged.

In the City Court, Judge Webb pre-
siding, there was tried this morning two
cases involving cruelty to animals One
of the defendants is negro, who was
the driver of horse. working in an
express wagon, which i'll exhauste i
Sunday afternoon in front t The Cau-
casan office on Edwards street The
other defendants are F. NJ and w. A.
Kelly, owners of the orse and wagon.
The defendants were represented by
counsel.
The witnesses comprised reputable
citizens, who were called from their
business and avocations to testify their
knowledge in connection with this cru
city to a dumb brute helpless and de-
fenseless, which when exhausted from
over driving, fell to rise no more
The statements of these eye witnesses
were plain and direct The horse was
living frame, which should have been
rested in a pasture and fed. The
horses shoulders and back bore evidence
of mistreatment by carelessness. How
long this dumb brute had suffered it is
not possible to tell, but from his general
appearance, after having fallen exhaust
ed in the street, indicated he had long
been a sufferer Death finally relieved
it of its ordeals in life
And yet this is not the only animal,
horse or mule, in like condition driven
and worked in the streets of Shreve-
port. The observer will detect many
dumb brutes in active service which
should be given rest and feed
1t is not possible for a horse, under
fed and overworked, to stand the reck-
lessness and the cussedness of its driver.
The horse, as machine, must wear out
and be wrecked unless it is given hu-
name treatment.
If there is in this community So
cieyt for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, it is time its members were
getting busy.
After having heard the witnesses,
Judge Webb fined Holly McNeal, negro
driver, $1,000 or 80 days for the State
and $1,000 for the city.
The charge against the Kellys was
dismissed
Comment is unnecessary.
The affidavits against the negro and
the Kellys were filed by Officer Nolen
and Officer White.
The man who can not respond to a
horses silent pleading for mercy, must
be possessed of marble heart.

COL. 7. w. NICHOLSON.

Ruston Leader: 1t is now rumored
that Col ]. w. Nicholson will be can
didate for the office of Superintendent
of Public Education, at the solicitation
of numerous friends over the State, and
he has not said anything about the sal
ary not being large enough In other
words. he seems to be willing to accept
the job at the present price.
Colonel Nicholson is the author of
Nicholson's arithmetic, has held the
chair of mathematics at the Louisiana
State University for several years and
lis one of the best known educators i'll
the State The subject of education has
been his life-study and he would no
doubt make the State an ideal superin-
tendent.
If he is willing to accept the job at
$4,000, it appears to the Leader as the
height of extravaganza to raise the sal
ary. The officials of the State are sup
posed to be its public servants. and they
are supposed to be elected to do their
duty unflinchingly and without murmur
They are not elected to see how high
tey can get their salary raised.
The office of Superintendent of Edu-
cation of Louisiana was not created tc
enrich its incumbent, but it is notice

HON. THEODORE S. WILKINSON.

Homer Guardian Journal: Hon Theo-
dore S. Wilkinson formally launched
his campaign for Governor at Alexan-
dria Friday evening last, when he ad-
dressed large audience at the opera
house at that place. He said that lie
wore the collar of no man or set of men ;
was not the candidate of any Governor
or any United States Senator On what
may be termed the moral issues, Mr.
Wilkinson's platform will meet the ap-
probation of the better class of people
more fully than that OF any other candl-
date. He would regulate and control
horse racing in New Orleans, favors
high license and local option for the
liquor traffic and is opposed to gam
bling. Wilkinson is an able man, clean
man. man of independence and ceur-
age. broad minded and progressive. and
has always been on the right side Of
public questions. He is one of those
men who have the faculty of doing
things. He is not mere dreamer OF
theorizer, but a man who accomplishe;
results. Mr.. Wilkinson will be very
formidable canidate for Governor. A:
we see it now, the contest will be be
tween Wilkinson and Sanders. with thu
chances in favor of the former.

AT about noon Wednesday George L.
Adams was found almost lfeless in a
room, locked on the inside, which he
occupied in the Caddo Hotel. Despond-

act. He was temporarily embarrassed.
He had received a telegram from F. NJ.
Ellis of Aloah directing that he be paid
5000 and the check for this amount
would follow Failure to realize money
