was a distinct Improvement upon those

II has been said for some time that
New York audiences demanded the
immoral and indecent plays; yet the
direct lie was branded on such state

men and women, and at the same time
will be healthful food for the Young

factions. the outcome OF monetary
arrangement disturbing the finances

the state was killed at midnight in his

The cream of the land on the Stand
ing Rock has been taken by the In
dians, who made very schrewd selec-
;tions. No land is left within six miles
of the Milwaukee railway. In South
Dakota there will be some very fine
land to be homesteaded, but the bulk
OF it will be thirty miles from rail-
road. However, surveys have already
been run through this land. and no
doubt railroads will be built to meet
the needs Of the settler.
The Indians view the opening Of the
reservation hpilosoph and the
most Of them will live on their own
diminished reserve.
Thirty-fiye years ago the Sioux In
dians Of this reservation were consid-
cred the most unr,lly of all the tribes.
Today there are few, If any, as pros
porous. Guriously enough, the follow
ers of Sitting Bull and the bravest
sold-time warriors are the best on.
The Yanktonians, living on the north
end of the reservation, have always
been peaceable and intermingled with
the whites, and they are the poorest
among the Sioux; possibly the white
man is responsible for this.
Nine hundred and sixty acres In the
portion OF land allotted to each mar
ried couple, 320 to those over is,
and $50 to all others.
OF all the old great chiefs among

ming Antelope. Thunder Hawk and
many more are gone. John Grass and
Mad Bear are still leaders in council.

ment to the latter. who was one of a

Mr.. T.. M. Patterson has brought to
light another damnable plot to do up
1.-The plain pepul." For months past
the Patterson papers have been loud
ly proclaiming that the Speer follow
ing In Denver was against the nomi-
nation Of Bryan. Now Mr.. Patter-
son has made the discovery that the
Speer bunch was for Bryan all the
time, but back Of their support is q
hideous plot to turn Colorado over to
the tender mercies Of the corpora
tions. The plot reveals itself thus !:
The Speer people are to get control
of the state Democratic machinery ;
place Democratic corportion ticket
in the field and elect it with the
strength of Bryan's name at the head
of the national ticket. Needless to
say, If the dear people" can't see
their way clear to be saved from the
calamity that aw ats them, It's their
own fault. The inference is plain; II
the common people" will place
their political interests In the hands
Of Mr.. Patterson he will see to it
that the present Republican bunch is
kept in power.
