INDIAN / I I. COUNCIL
Fort lotion Red Men Rscsivs
Money From Old Treaty
of 1851.

Devils Lake, N. D.. July 14.-:AD
interesting and important council of
the Sioux Indians, 10 which is in
vOlvei the distribution of about
s7ss, 900 is being held at Fort Totten.
This is one of the distributions Of
the judgment gained against the gov
ernment by the Indians in the court
OF claims, as part fnlfllment Of the
original treaty Of 1851, made by the
government with the Sioux Indians
Of Minnesota.
The Indians were to surrender all
lands except the Yellow Medicine
and Redwood reservations, and in
payment were to receive a cash an
nuity of a certain amount for fifty
years and be provided with provi
sions and clothing for that length Of
time. After the massacre of 1862,
congress abrogated the provisions Of
this treaty. The Indian contend that
inasmuch as they wele divided at
that time, portion of them remain
ing loyal to the government and TAX
ing up arms against their own peo-
pie, they are entitled to the amounts
due according to the original treaty.
Altogether the Indians have sue
ceeded in getting judgment against
the government in the court of
claims for Sl.7O0, 600 of which S110, 600
! goss to the Sioux at the Fort Totten
reservation.
The council is carried on with
great ceremony and formality. Chief
Little Fish or "Tiowasti, in the
Sioux, presides. A dramatic moment
in the council on Friday was when
the chief, who is over 81 years of age
arose to address his people and called
the role of chiefs Who had signed
with him tho original treaty of 1851
and who are nearly all now dead.
A committee of the Indians to rep
resent the people in the council are
Chief Little Fish, Solomon Fox and
John Rear, Teeth. Messrs. Maxwell
and Chase, their attorneys represent.

Crop Expert Pessimistic.

~, ! { i
Devils Lake, n. D., July Ii. Crop
Expert Snow, who has been in this
section for q few days, has given out
the following statement relative to
crop conditions: y
.'Last week I drove 25O miles by
auto, crossing the Sheye5ne, James
and Red river valleys. Through
Barnes, Foster, StntsmaD, Eddy and
Benson counties the crop on sandy
land or on gravel subsoil is largely
dead in spots and streaks as IF dam
aged by ire, but in the lower grounds
is not damaged as much. In the Red
river valley there is not much DAM
age yet, but the ground is dry and
the situation is critical. The temper
ature has been about 100 and the dry
winds of Thursday and Friday did
the work. In the greater portions Of
the sections traveled, the crop was
just heading and in bloom when hit
by the drouth. The late fields are
heading at eighteen inches. The crop
west of the Red river valley has al
ready lost one-fourth beyond recov-
cry, at a comparative, estimate.
Another week like last will prac-
tically, wipe out the entire crop.
There was so much rain in the early
season that the plant is poorly rooted
anG the stools were too rank for their
support.
Goats are hurt worse than wheat
and barley fully as bad"
P. J. Notton of Darlington, N. D !,
however, is quoted as say ing that
the reDorted damage to crops thruout
the state and particularly in his own
vicinity, from the excessive heat is
greatly overdrawn, as there are but
very few places where the damage is
at all noticeable and also stated that
it ould be some time before damage
would result on account Of the lack Of
moisture.

Double Tragedy at Dounybrook.

Minot, Nj July l4.-Enraged be-
cause his sister paid attention to and
danced with man, whom he had
warned her..against, John Ruen, liv-
ing ten miles northwest of Donny-
brook, deliberately shot down his
sister, and then turning the deadly
weapon upon himself, ended his owo
life. The terrible tragedy, which
was enacted directly after dance
which was being held at the Ruen
farm, was one of the most horrible
ever committed in the vicinity Of
Donnybrook.
Both deaths were almost instan-
taneeus and the deed was perpetrated

tragedy, is located but ten miles from

Fair and Race meet, given by the
Jamestown fair association vas ..6lleu
with excitement from early morning
with the Driscoll-Jamestown ball
game, the horse races in the after
noon until midnight when the last
weary sightseer left the lures of the
carnival attractions and struggled
back to the city. The day was clear
and slight breeze blew from the
southeast. The attendance was large
for opening day.
Hundreds of people visited tre ex-
hibits, starting with those in the ex-
hibition building, where the wo-
mems department held sway, and
passing on along the big machinery
showing, to the swine, poultry,
horses and fat stock display, all of
which have fine specimens in their
many lines.
Early in the afternoon came the
crowning Of the queen of the carni-
val, Miss Katherine Dwyer, chosen
by popular vote for the honor. Miss
Margaret O'Donnell and Miss Karch-
er, the two others highest in the
race, being chosen maids of honor.
The royal party were driven by auto
from the Gladstone to the Fair
ground and there the Ceremony per-
formed with due pomp and dig
nifty, Mayor Blewett presenting the
queen with the large handsome dia-
mond ring, as the honor of being
queen was no empty one.
As usual, the races attracted the
greatest crowd aud the most inter-
est, and soon after noon the throngs
started for the Fair grounds and
straight to the race course, comfort
ably filling the grand stand, while
many, in carriages and automobiles
lined up along the fences on both
sides of the track. The Jamestown
band was there and played many live
airs at the opening and between the
heats during the afternoon.
The race course, tho little dusty,
was In fast shape, the home stretch
along the ground stand being sp1in-
kled to keep the dust from boi herring
spectators. Three racing events were
pulled off during the afternoon, the
the 2:3O stake trot, purse $500; the
2:35 pace, purse, $500 and the 4 IL
furlong and repeat running race,
purse of $50 for each heat. All the
races we're close, and there were sew
eral close brushes for positions, good
time being made.
Shortly after O'Clock the first
heat in the 2:3O trot was called. A
few of the drivers had been warming
up their horses, and had occasionally
let them out for short sprints, and
many of the audience had already
picked the winners.
There were five entries to this first
race, Faustina, Flossie Morning,
Hercules, Helen Of Troy and Motto, a
good bunch. After Sc, eral bad get
aways, the starter finally sent the
bunch of, we'll together and they
kept together for the entire first lap,
when with a desperate squirt Flcssie
Morning, owned by M. j. ..OConnor
of Courtenay, pulled ahead and won
out with Hercules second, Faustina
third, Moto fourth and Helen Of
Troy last. However, Flossie Morn-
ing was unable to. keep the pace, and
Fausgina took the next heat, but
Moto proved strongest and won the
last three in straight heats, first
money going to this bay gelding,
from Columo ous, Ohio. Second money
went to FausJina, third to Hercules
and fourth to Helen Of Troy, Flossie
Morning being distanced.

Practical Printer and Publisher, 1926
Jefferson Street, Nashville, Tenn.
And as a pioneer he suffered more
than pen will ever be able to write or
tongue to tell. Mr.. Chas. H. Burrill
came South and labored for years to
instil into the young Negroes the
fundamental principles of the art of
printing. He could have remained at
his home with his family and among
friends, but he realized that the har-
vest was ripe, waiting for reapers to
reap. He can truly be called the
father of printing among Negroes in
the South"
| went into the duties of my new
position with the same determination
and anxiety that had always haunted
me in the pursuit of my chosen profes.
sion, and soon l realized that bright
er day had daWned. | then got down
TO hard work, and for over seventeen
years l have made a special, practical
study of printing and publishing.
| have seen many newspaper and
job printing Offices spring up, and
many of them l have seen disappear
into the shadow Of utter failure. I
have enjoyed the privilege to be as
sociated with one or the other of the
two largest printing concerns in the
world conducted by Negroes, name
ly the Sunday School Union of the
A. M. e. Church, and the National
Baptist Publishing Board, located in
Nashville, Tenn, and | am we'll ac-
qualnted with their struggles, and the
many hardships and inconveniencies
that nave been endured to accomplish
what has been achieved. The success
of these two institutions has been mar
velous when all things are taken into
consideration, and in my discussions
of our "Denominational Printing" |
will endeavor to keep in mind what
has been accomplished and what it
cost in expenditures of money and
sacrifices on the part of all who have
been concerned.
The African Methodist Episcopal
Church is, without doubt, the most
completely organized body of Negroes
in the world, and as such must of ne
cessity be expected to take the lead
in everything that affects church work.
And with our system of concentra-
ton it is possible for us to control
more people in the same period of
time than any other organization in
the race of a like nature. We must
admit, however, that the only way to
do this is through the press, and in
order that the press may be able to do
the work successfully, it must be in
trained hands. / want to talk to you
about printing as an art, for it is an
art and has been fittingly styled the
art Preservative." A man must be
trained to print as he is trained to
paint, and to be a successful printer
and publisher he must have an adap-
tation to the trade, He must be prac-
teal He must know why this thing
or that should not be done and why
= certain article should not be bought.
He must know that some machines
are made to sell and that they serve
