Ka-rie T. McArthur, Indian agent at the

days, Is paying out the last of the

totai distribution of $150,000, giving out
$76.92 per capita. He came to St. Paul
to make the distribution rather than
have tile Indians nirikf the trip to the
us, rvation, for tin- reason that the Sioux
are so greatly scattered now.
.Mr. McArthur Eays that the Sioux in
his reservation now number about 2,<XK),
and that the great majority of them have
long since adopted mostly the ways of
the wihte man. but many of the older
ones dins tenaciously to their native
habits and customs and even prefer to

undergo the trouble of acquiring the
white man's speech.
The full-blooded Sioux, said Mr. Mc-
Arthur, is rapidly becoming extinct,
though it will require a considerable period
yet to entirely stamp out the race. They
are intermarrying with the whites and
the led men naturally predominate, so
that several generations will come and
go before the Western frontier will have
seen the last of this famous tribe.
With Mr. McArthur are A. J. Mont

Sioux interpreter.
"Indians, no matter how well they can
speak our language, always want to
transact business through one of their
own race who can speak the English

not lost all of their inherent skepticism,

CURE FOR CREDITORS
RETAIL. GROCERS OF ST. PAUL
WILL SHUT OFF DELIN
QUENTS SEPT. 1
HEAVY BALANCES RUINOUS
Purpose In to Effect a Complete
Reformation in the Credit '
System of Doing? ■ v^-*
BnslnettM. *
After Sept. 1 all persons owing grocery
bills will have to go without groceries or
purchase them outside of St. Paul unlesS
they can make arrangements to pay their
accounts. This is the result -of a meet
ing held by the retail grocers of this city.
They have determined to tighten We
strings of their purses and shut off delin
quent customers as a means of reforming
the entire credit system.
. For some time the retailers have had
umler consideration action of this char
acter, and it is believed that the course
adopted will prove entirely satisfactory
and will afford the protection to the mer
chants sought. The groctrs contend that
by do!ng such extensive credit business
as has been their custom many of them
find that their entire capital b:comes
tied up in carrying' their creditors' bal
ances and in this way they are unable
to make the necessary expansion in their
business and derive a 1 fair rate of in
terest from the capital invested.
Fred Mason, secretary of the Retail
Grocers' association, said yesterday re
garding the situation:
"Owing to the conditions which now ex
ist, the retail groceis of this city are
compelled to adopt a 1 system in their
credit business which is but just and fair,
to consumer and grocer alike. The job
bers, manufacturers and oomnrssii.n
merchants compel the retail grocer to pay
their bills in full every week and ten
days, and if net paid by that time, the
grocer finds it necessary to pay cash or
| go without goods until said bills are paii
in full.
"The St. Paul retail grocers are there
fore compelled to adopt the system o"
; tarrying no balances whatever on their
I books and have unanimously adopted a
j resolution to the effect that no balances
I will be carried by any grocer in this
j city on and after Sept. 1, and no cue
' tcmers will rec iv ere'it from any other
! grcce-r until tn< y have paid their bills in
minutes for the mob to materialize. The
mob did not materialize, and the gentle
man, recollecting that he was in Minne
iHterviewed the band master. Mr.
Wolf. Mr. Wolf declined to interfere
without orders from his employers, the
Twin City Rapid Transit company. The
company had gone home for dinner, and
could not not be reached officially.
The gentleman from Georgia thought.
Then the hand was requested to pipe up
that ultra-modern dance, the half-step.
In vulgar phraseology, the quartette were
"on." The three-step was played. Ev< :i
more gracefully did Miss Johnsing and
her friends sway In time to the entranc
ing strains. The gentleman from Grn^a
retired in disgu.=t. The band changed to
"Home Sweet Home."' The quartette
waltzed it cut, but the crowd had ue-
f1 11. This inn erativelv applies to all cus
tomers without except!on.
"What we w.sh to a-eompiish," said
Mr. Rtasen, "is a complete reforms 'on
of the ere it system which in the past
has resulted in carrying such cno:n:o.;s
monthly balances upon the books of the
rs that their mean, hive been so
tly absorbed as to cripple their re
rourccs and actual y ea-l up their profts
The new systrrn which we have put into
vogue meats the approval of all the mem
of the Grocers' association. We will
send cut circulars to the customers stat
ing just what action has been decided
upi n. so that they may be fully pr pared,
so far as our power extends, to meet the
exigencies of the occasion.
WOULD AMEND LAW
AI.D. MORIARTY THIXKS PAVING
ORDINANCES DEFECTIVE.
Aid. Moriarty says he would like to see
the charter and the present paving ordi
nances amended so as to permit more gen
eral competition in all lines of public im
provements.
With paving at present, bids arc re
stricted to one kind of material and on
the basis of set specifications, but Mr.
Moriarty would have it so that bids on
all classes of material could be received
at the same time, the board and prop
erty owners having the right to selct
the lowest and what they consider the
"best.
IS PAVING THE STREET
UXIOX DEPOT COMPAXY AT WORK
OX SIBLEY.
In line with its agreement the Union
Depot company has commenced work on
the pavini? of the lower part of Sibley
street where the old Pabst brewing ware
house formerly stood. The lot secured
adds fifty feet to ;he Btreet and it will
be covered with granite block, the same
as the remainder of the sr.re.'t.
The improvement contemplates the
widening of Sibley strejt, from Third
street to the river front, but owing to the
opposition shown by abutting propeity
owners, who think they Should
not bear the burden of the "cost, it is
hardly probable that the remainder of the
ground necessary will be acquired by the
city, this year at least.
The board of aldermen has now stored
away in a committee a preliminary order
for the improvement, but some of the
members are bent on resurrecting: it at
the earliest possible moment, claiming
that those now opposing it, were In the
lead for its consummation wh.^n the
depot company, in consideration of the
levee grant, promised to pay their pro
portion of the cost.
GIRLS WALKED OUT
TOOK LECTURE AS A PERSONAL
AFFRONT AXD QUIT WORK.
Because the management gave one of
their number a curtain lecture, that the
others thought somewhat personal, lour
girls, waiters at the Spencer restaurant
377 Wabasha street, walked out yesterday
noon.
The four girls constituted the noon
watch and the management had to hustle
at a lively rate to amend for the delay
caused the hungry hordes that patiently
waited for their orders.
STRUCK WITH THE PROGRESS.
West Virginian Visits Minnesota
After Thlrty-Two Years' Absence.
W. S. Haramaker, one ;of the promi
nent business men and dtalers in coal
mines and timber of Charleston, "W. Va.,
arrived in the city yesterday and is reg
istered at the Hotel Kendall.
It is the first yisit of Mr. liamraaker
has made to the Northwest since 1569,
when he was one of a surveying party
that exploited what was then considered
the "terra incognita."' of the Northern
wild;;.
Th* cliics of St. Paul and Minneapolis,
at that' time, had .scarcely commenced
to be developed, and his surprise on see
ing the present high state of develop
ment and enterprise can be better im
agined than described.
NO BIDS ARE ACCEPTED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS WILL
RECONSIDER*PAVING BIDS.
Bids were received by the board of
public works yesterday for the macadam
izing of Kast Seventh street, from Hope
to Atlantic, but the proposals in each
instance were so high that in all proba
bility they will be rejected, and an effort
will be made to pave the streets with
either brick or asphalt.
City Engineer Clatissen estimated that
the work would cost $24,000 for the city's
portion, but the lowest bid was that of
James Forrestal & Co., who asked 129,715
for the city's portion and ?IC,CCO for the
space occupied by the street railway.
The material specified in their bid waa
granite.
For a granite covering, P. J. Ryan bid
534,800. while for trap rock he asked $%,
-800. For the railway portions he bid |24,
--000 and 527.000 respectively.
For $G,030 more the board figured that it
could pave the street with something
more substantial than macadam, and for
that reason postponed action on the bids.
RULES FOR CONTEST
MAJ. LAMBERT SUBMITS SCHEDULE:
FOR BADGER-GOPHER MATCH.
Maj. George C. Lambert, in command
of the First battalion of artillery, N. G.
S. M., has sent to Capt. C. F. Ludingtun.
of Milwaukee, who commands the Wis
consin battery, a draft of rules which
he purposes shall govern the coining
interstate artillery contest at Laiceview.
The contest will "begin £«pt. 18 and con
tinue three days.
The rules, of coarse, are subject to the
approval of Capt. Luddington, and may,
perhaps, be modified somewhat before
they arc adopted. They provide that
each team shall consist of seven men or
officers, with two alternates and an auxil
iary detail of five cannoneers, one mark
er and one scorer. The men must have
served at least six months prior to the
date of the contest. The senior officer
from each state shall be the team cap
lain. Each team will use two 8.2-inch
breech-loading stc<?l rifles, which throw
13 ]'2-pouDd projectiles. The artillery land
target. 20xli> feet, and divided into
squares 2\ : > f< et, will be used, and the
nig will be over the 2,500-yard range
at Lake City. Firing will continue from
12 to 5 o'clock each day. Each team will
fire alternately, each being entitled to
two trial shuts, wfhieb shall not count,
and ten record shots.
SELL LIKE "HOT CAKES"
TICKETS FOR THE "COPS' " BALL,
GAME BOUGHT LIBERALLY.
The tickets for the 'ball game between
the St. Paul and Minneapolis "cops" at
Lexington park next Saturday afternoon
are selling like hot cakes, and it is c**
pected that a large crowd of enthusiasts
will attend the game, which promises to
>be a good one.
Capt. Hanft, manager of the local
team, stated last evening that the line
up of the St. Paul players had not been
decided yet, but that it would be a
good one, and would contain nothing
but good baseball players. It is under
stood that William Mattocks, a veteran
ball player, will toss the ball for the St.
Paul "cops."
The money will be used to buy an am
bulance for the central station. This is
something that has been needed for a
long time, and the public will now have
a chance to help the good cause along-.
BUTTER NIODEL WONDER
CAPT. m XMNGTO.X RETURNS FROM
THE PAX-AMERICAX.
Amon? the arrivals in the city yester
day was W. P. Dunnington, the well
knewn politician of Redwood Falls, who
bars just returned from several weeks' so
journ at the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo.
Capt. Dunnington has had charge of
the agricultural booth from this state,
and he says that between 70,000 and 80,(00
visitors have inspected the exhibit within
the past few weeks.
"Of this number," said he, "the r-on
sensus of opinion is that the Minnesota
display has from its unique and varie
gated quality attracted more attention
and admiration than any other exhibit
on the gTound."
Among the features that attracted more
than the usual amount of attention was
the butter display of Minnesota, and es
pecially the miniature model of the new
state capitol. As a work of art this is
said to surpass anything of the kind ever
attempted, and it is a continuous source
of wonderment.
The model is perfect in its way, and it
contains 1.400 pound's of butter, all of
which is the product of Minnesota.
YESTERDAY WAS A SCORCHER.
Mercury Made Effort to Bent the
Memorable Record of July 34.
St. Paul was treated to another hot
day yesterday, the warmest since the
memorable occasion on July 24, wh<n the
thermometer reached 104 degrees above.
Yesterday the tlvermometer registered
94 above, but today, according to the
promise cf the weather man, there sho Ad
be relief in the shape of showers and
cooler weather. Showers were predicted
for last night, but they failed to mate

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA, GA.
AT TENT MEETING
EH THE HEART OF A BUSY CITY
. NIGHTLY SESSIONS ARE
HELD
HOW "ALIENS' ARE ATTRACTED
Interest Beneath the Tent Sever
Wanes, Despite the Din of
C'omniing'lint; Xoi«t's
Outside.
From a concert hall nearby a ribald
scrfig swept defiantly down and was heard
even above the din caused by fifty Metho
dist voices singing with all their might
a good, old-fashioned Methodist hymn.
Other voices of the outside world rose
shrilly or joined in a chorus of laughter
that mingled oddly with the chorus of
praise. From across the street a sharp
voiced piano shrieked in exaggerated
staccato: "If You Haint Got No Money,
Why You Needn't Come Around."
Not one of those things, however, dis
turbed in any degree the Methodist tent
meeting that was in progress last night
at the corner of Eighth and Cedar
streets. Even when ribaM son?, laughter
and staccato-voiced piano joined in one
tremendous, discordant and defiant cres
cendo did the pa-ion of praise fnside the
tent waver. The voice?; that sang the
hymn despised of the fastidious Mr.
Triggs, but belo-ved of the masses, car
ried it to a triumphant close, and the
\oices of the outer world and of darkness
were drowned in the pleading exhortation
of "Rescue the Perishing.' 1
Ths big tent .that, under the auspices
of the Methodist ministers of St. Paul,
is serving every night tv house a hand
ful of the faithful, and about a hair a
handful of either the would-be faithful
or the curious, is perhaps the only thing
at all suggestive of an old-fashioned
Methodist camp meeting.
The mourners' bench has b^en decent
ly tucked out of sight. The beauties of
heaven, rather than the disadvantages of
hell, are dwelt upon by the preacher.
There ar e few "testimonies." Even the
emotional interruptions that once lib
ly punctuated the sermon of the minister
or his prayer have dwindled away to a
ftw "Thank the Lords)," "God be
Praised." This is an age of repression,
and even religion at a camp meeting is
taken sedately.
i'et though this modern camp meeting
suggests little of that primitive r<
finding expression in outward signs, the
tent which has been pitched on Cedar
street, between Seventh and Eighth, to
save souls is still an interesting place to
visit. Because the tent is large and gray,
and because the only light is a big splut
tering globe swinging from the cent r,
the Rembrandt arrangement of Ifghl
shadow must of necessity ippeal 10 him
who has a love of beauty in his soul.
The faithful, quite fittingly, too, .sit well
up in front. Their voices ring out val
iantly in the chorus of praise. The
others--the "aliens in the commonwealth
of Israel," as the man who preached last
night happily styled those outside the
Told—found seats well in the rear. Yet all
seemed intensely interested in the
ice. The little congregation included
black and white, old and young. None,
however, seemed well provided with
worldly wealth. Therefore the pictures
which the man who preached sketched
from the life of Christ seemed especially
appropriate last evening. Throughout
the service, even to the very benediction,
the congregation, a mere handful in the
beginning, was constantly receiving re
cruits from the lighted streets outside.
If the spider's webs were havens of
peace. If the spiders themselves were
humanitarians and the captured flies
brands snatched from the burning, it
would not be absurd to say that such a
web id this tent. For passers-by of all
classes it seems to possess a subtli
eination. Hence the gradual filling up
of the tent. Perhaps it is the singing of
"the tunes that mean so much to you
alone, common tunes that make you
choke and blow your nose;" perhaps it
is the pleading voice of the preachai,
or perhaps it is just very human curios
ity. Whatever it is, every little while a
face appears above the high board fence—
nearly always a woman's face, but occa
sionally a man's—then uncertainly,
doubtfully, shrinkingly, a figure passes
through the gate and the little congre
gation is made larger by one member.
If it has been the intention of any of
the reluctantly attracted and late arrivals
to come to scoff that Intention is not re
vealed by so much as a giance and if not
all remain to pray all at least remain and
listen. And not infrequently these new
comers are carried away by the spirit of
the occasion and in voices sweet or the
reverse, utter with the faithful the old
fashioned words that may not be gooa
literature, but are somehow forever as
scciated with the best memories of child
hood.
Few get beyond a stanza, some sing
only a verse. The shock of hearing their
own voices dumbs them and they gaze
resentfully around and during the re
mainder of the singing finger the hymn
book in embarrassed fashion. They, of
course, are the "aliens." The true dwell
ers sing to the end, happily, heartily, in
excellent time and tune. The "a!i. us"
fight memories, perhaps, or listen critical
ly as befits their past lif<- or^their pres
ent attitude. They withdraw phlegmatic
ally enough with the rest, for there is no
after meeting.
