Thk fact that an American girl ha become the vice-empress of India is another evidence of the imperial ten dencies of this country. Thk Friends' conference which will begin at north A street meeting house tomorrow will be one of the important religious events of the year. John Hay, the new secretary of state, was botn in Salem, this state about sixty years ago. That place has the unenviable distinction of being the only town in Indiana where negroes are not allowed to live. In Huntington county, this state, t girl jumped sixteen feet out of a win dow to join her lover :n an elopement. The parents were opposed to the mar riage. The girt was not injured in the jump. She may however discover later on that the sixteen foot leap was the least dangerous part of the trans' action. Nkw iork is leveling in one of those startling murder sensations which periodically occur just beneath the social upper crust in that city. The victim in ttrs eae was a Miss Rey nolds, who had the fatal gifts of beauty and wealth unaccompanied by moral balance. A rather prominent dentist named Kennedy is charged with tue murder. There is ni particular lesson to be drawn from the tragedy. To ex plain the case would be to unravel the mystery when, where and why lust and cupidity entered into the world. Thk result of the war will make necessary an enlargement of the space this country expects to oeeup the Paris exposition. Commisiecer General Peck wants the spacWhat Spain was to have but will not occur. He says he is determined that CubWv I'orto Kico, Hawaii and the Philip pines shall be represented in the American exhibits. Accordingly, he has sent a letter to Senator CuLloin of the Hawaiian commission requesting him to urge the islanders to prepare suitable exhibits. Similar letters will, the commissioner-general says, be sent to the military governors of Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines as soon as they shall have been appointed by the President.

Elmir, Passenger and Ticket Agent, j SOUTH DAKOTA, Present Condition Compared Thoss of 1890. With Correspondence H.cbiiond Palladium. Kosebci Agency, South Dakota. August 10, lSJ'.lS. ) This reservation is the home of what was once known as the Lower Brules, now called Rosebud Indians. It ex tends fiom Big White river on the north, south sixty miles to the state of Nebraska, and from the Missouri river wett one hundred and twenty miles and has an area of 2,500 000 acres of land. The general lay of the country is rolling, though there are large stretches of valley and level praiye land. Much of it is worthless, being nothing tut beds and hilU cks of sand Not twenty per cent, is arable, and this per cent, is rendered worthless for fai miner purposes because of the laek of ram; yet, taken as a whole, it is fine grazing country that is for a lim ited number oi cattle The whole surface of the reservation is now covered with buffalo, blue, and a wire grass, and I have never seen it as beautiful as at tne present. It is one vast rolling, wiae-sweeping green meadow field, charming to look at and encouragirg to those who have cattle thereon and to those who ex- neet to make it their future home and engage in the stock industry The agency is thirty-five miles north of Valentine. Nebraska, the nearest railroad station, and is reached either bv sts.6re or private eonveyence. It is located on a small plateaa, skirting Rosebud creek and takes its name threfrom. This is the agency of which I had temporary charge, in the fall of 18!0. when the Souix war to called, broke out and some of the scenes and incidents of that period have been brought fresh to my mind hv hninc here at this time. I remem ber how the very atmosphere seemed charged with the elements of fear and apprehension, how a good many spoke in bated breath, expressing a fear that the Iudians might come down "like a wolf on the fold" upon the agency some night, sealp the force, burn the buildings and play havoc generally. I am reminded of a little incident personal to myself, how in company with Mr. Caton, the boss farmer, I started one afternoon for Black Pipe, where Short Bull and his ghostjdancers had their camp, and were doing all sorts of naughty things according to report, for the purpose of holding a council with this naughtv little warrior, and see if I could not induce him and his followers to quit and be good. How when we reached Cut Meat school house we concluded to stay all night, and go on next day, and that about dark, a policeman came riding up in hot haste and handed me a letter from the clerk, Mullens, in which he said "you had better coma back,Short Bull has called out his men and the soldiers are coming." How. that Caton, no sooner t'tan he rea i the lelter.immedi- ately jumped up and said let us go, and started for the stable to gear up the team and hitch them to the buggy, etc. Now of course 1 was not alarmed but it did seem to me he never would get ready to make the start and I never have been able to account for thi tardiness onlv on the irrouuds tuat ho KM ao f rihtenMl aA the Bnipd ktPt&0ilTfctfcu&min&il this matter is, that at that time and even the other day when I saw him this incident was referred to, he still insited in public and private that I was so scared that I did not know whether I was in the body, or out of it, and was quite incompetent to tell what his state of mind was. Such is life, however, and we are compelled to make the best of it we can, I was sent here for the purpose of making a thorough inspection of the agency and to do so, was compelled to travel near four hundred miles over the reservation. In visiting the Ponca sab issue sta tion, which is tho camp of Chief Swift Bear, a camp a hundred miles from the aeency, we hid quite an outing. The agent. Major McChesney, accompanied me. We had a double seated spring wagon, in which were the interpreter, the agent, his son and myself. Then we had a supply wagon drawn by four big mules, with Omaha Boy as driver, and a policeman on horseback. The second night out we were caught in a heavy rain storm, accompanied with fearful lightning and thunder, and in the morning some were laying in pud dies of water though not drowned. We all took the storm as one of the inci dents of an outing and did not com plain. Lewey found it difficult to start a fire in the morring, but by patient continuance in well doing he at ias got one under headway, and it was not long until we sat down, or stood as we I.ked, and partook heartily of coffee fried bacon, Boston baked beans acd hard bread, after which we loaded up our camping fixtures and started on our journey. About 3 p. m. we reached I onca sub-station, the objective point of our trip, and at 5 sat down to a sup per prepared by the farmer's wife that was indeed appetising and enjoyable. Fonca and the val ley along it is the home of Chief Swift Bear and about five hundred of bis people. They have taken their aliottments and have pen eiaily settled on them and are making some progress towards the white men's civilization and awav from their for mer mode of living. Chief Swift Bear is an old man and loves to tell about the times when he was vonntr: When irWas Scrofula Medicmes Qrove the Humor to a.

One cannot but feci a sympathy for these Indians as he listens to their picturing in glowing colors the glory, to them at least, of those bright days. They recognize, however,, that these davs are one to return no more and are endeavoring to adjust themselves to the new and ehaged conditions which are trradnallv gathering atont them. After inspecting this issue station and resting a day or two, we started back to the agency. On the second day and about 9 a. m.. a ram storm hich had been threatening all morn- . , r 1 1 ing, struck us ana we easily unuueueu our hores and adjusted our canvas so as to protect ns, acd under this we sat for three hours while the rain poured down upon us. It was a pretty dreary waiting, but we bore it bravely. The sky cleared about noon, and after a cup of coffee and some hard bread, we were again on the way, the horses in the start shivering with cold. It became so chilly in the after noon that I had to wear my overcoat; had a horse blanket for a lap-robe and a woolen blanket wrapped around me, and this the 1st day of August. In the evening we went into camp on Hole creek, and pitched our tent by a large water hole, which was full of fish Horses were unhitched acd picketed And Lewey dressed . zinnia of prairie chickens which had been killed during the afternoon After T.wev had dressed them 1 in sisted on the privilege of frying them for I believed 1 could do a better job than he. and I think I succeeded which I believe was the judgment of thn com nan V Enough of fiah were caught to make a cood mess for breakfast, and nere again demonstrated my culinary abil ity. We reached the agency aoout o. m. Tuesday, g'ad that the journey - .. i " U was over, having ueen gone eigii dnvs. While visiting Cut Meat and I5!acK Pipe issue stations I took a peep into the Bad Lands, and camped one night on Cedar Butte, the highest point in this rpcrinn of these famous lands. J.he view from the batte was impressive and in some respects is inspiring will not describe it; it will be an in terestmer sight to any one wno may V'sit them. A I have passed over the reserva tion I have found that while the im nrovement amon? the Indians has not been striking in the past six years Rinn I was last among them, never theless it ha3 been substantial, and in some respects maiked. They are more inclined to settle down and have lost much of their restless disposition Thev are becoming more and more in cerested in the stock industry, the only method bv wthch they can ever make living, and this to the man who desires to see them progress is encouraging There are now some twenty-six day or camp schools on our reservation which I think are giving to the chil dren that line of education which will be the most helpful to them in the fu ture. There is also a large boardirg school iust completed with a capacity f . it torn hnn dred bovs and eirls. This plant cost a hundred thousand dollar: 4MejA4iieMl 'pence again spreads her benignant wings over the land, and I trust that it will be a century before she will fold them again. Now let the govern ment turn the Philippine Islands over to the people to establish whatever form of government they deem proper, withdraw her army and navy and let the islands alone. Iu my j idgmnt we want nothing to do with them. We should never had anything to do with them. The orders to Dwey should have been to destroy the Spanish fleet wherever he found it and then bring his n set into the Cuban waters and help j to drive the Spaniards there from. We have no use for nor should we be fooling with the Philippine Islands. Well, this is my say and I am done. ir tne spirit 01 writing moves me you will probably hear from me again. E. B. Reynolds An Eloquent Speaker. True eloquence was voiced by John Speaker, of Catawba, Ohio, when he says: "I had five large fever sores on my leg four years, and tried five doctors without benefit.

While of course based in some degree on the favorable results already achieved in many lines, it is unques tionably true that the flattering erop outlook at home and the return of peace, with the expectation of benefits to our export trade naturally expected to accrue therefrom, make tor much of the feeling thus expressed. The reports as to collections are very encouraging. From winter wheat sections especially reports are very good. Some slowness is noted in payments at the northwest. but this is expected to disappear when the spring wheap erop moves. Busi ness failures are larger in number than last week, aggregating 193, against 1j last week, but compared with 21 in this week a year ago, 204 in 1896, 192 in 1893 and 251 in 1S94 Buyers are appearing in increasing numbers at leading western markets.
