MY troubles at Yellow Medicine be-

the fifth morning after the stage had
set me down l found my office besieged
by Indians armed with breech leaders.

friendly faces they turned upon me,

terpreter FASTENED to explain, however,
telling me that the cattle contractors,
who were holding a bunch on our reser-
walton, had sent word TO the Chey-
ennes to come on and begin killing.
and they were hungry for some fresh
beef.
Now 1 had been out to see that
same bunch of cattle two days before,
armed with authority to accept or re-
ject. / found at least half the 1000
head quite unfit for beef, and had sent
for a government inspector to relieve
me of responsibility in the matter. 1t
would be some days before 1 could eX-
pect him over from the next agency.
Il explained to the interpreter eurtly
and briefly that the cattle were not yet
accepted, and that no killing could be
until / should give the order. The In
dams drew off gIum and angry, and l
went into my office, where l was busy
with my clerk all day.

THE PASSING OF FAIRBANKS.

In all the glad rejoicing, the paeans
OF self-praise, the anticipatory jubila-
tion over the nomination of Taft and
sherman, the fate of one Charles War
rem Fairbanks has escaped unnoticed
and unsung. He who thought himself
candidate for the first office in the
land the dearly beloved of the trusts
once the idol of Indiana, has been aban-
doned to an unkind fate with no tear
of sorrow His visions OF four years
of regal pomp have given way TO the
certainty of an indefinite term on the
hanks of White river; the picture of
a tall. dignified. unimpulsive tenant for
the White house has been displaced by
who knows what gloomy premOnitions
Of the republics impending doom.
Worse even than defeat, bitterer than
disappointed ambition. must be the re-
! Elections that come to the Tall Icicle OF

greetings his name got from the Taft
DELEGATES when he was placed in ,nomi-
nation. Hanly, governor of Indiana,

delegation started the Kisses. What

Eventually the Hoosier executive was
provoked beyond endurance and sug-
gested that the November election
would find a fitting response for the
anserine greetings of Ohio. To be sure
Fairbanks Jared no worse in this re-
card than did the other candidates who
presumed so far as to permit the pre-
sentation of their names. Knox and
Foraker and La Toilette all received
the same tender, courteous reception;
and quite likely their states will find
the same means of retaliatiOn-at the
polls-that Hanly promised for Indi-
ana.
Altogether the demonstration proved
beyond question the striking harmony

lHcan marty which the Associated Pres:
