(From a Stnff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 2. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho announcement of the death of
Senator Kyle cumo as n great Hliock to the
South Dakota colony here, whose mem
bers during tho lust few days had received
encouraging reports retarding thu sen
ator's condition. Notwithstanding tlio un
expectedness o( Senator Kyle's death, poli
ticians from that section ot tho union have
begun to apctulato as to who Governor
ilerr'lcd will name to 1111 out tho unexpired
term of Senator Kyle or for tho period
which will intcrveno until tho noxt meet
ing of tho Icglelature.
There Is an impression In certain cir
cles hero that an effort will bo made to
lnduco A. I). Klttrldgo of SI mix Falls to
accept tho vacant sqnatorshlp. Coe I,
Crawford of Huron announced his candi
dacy for tho senato tp succeed -Mr. Kylo
somo time ago and has been making a
quiet canvass. He Is an attorney for the
Northwestern In tho state.
Doth congressmen from South Dakota,
Martin of Deadwood and Durko of Pierre,
are said to have ambltlonB to secure the
seat In tho United States senate, but the
selection of cither to fill tho vacancy
caused by Mr. Kyle's death would Involvo
considerable expense for a special elec
tion and It Is also doubtful It cither would
throw away tho chance of a full term for
a brief Interim appointment.
Judgo Campbell of Aberdeen has fre
quently 'been spoken of as a successor to
Mr. Kylo. Colonel Leo Stover of Water
town, present register ot u land office In
South Dakota; J. M. Oroon of Chamberlain,
representative of South Dakota on the no
tional committee; David' Williams of Web

ranko much difference If he did have to lay
oft a few days.
Ueaoon why?
So many young women have patronized
the scissors grinder within tho last tew
days that he had more work than any one
man ought to do. Of course thero Is only
a limited number of scissors grlndert In
Omaha, and the one who fell prostrate had
been having practically a monopoly In hl
line.
Why this rush for scUsors grinding?
Because tho young women want sharp
scissors With which to dip The Beo' vaca
tion contest coupons from page 2 of the
paper. Constant cutting of paper dulls tho
edgea of a blade and then the cutting Is
not smooth.

CORNELL WINS TWO

pistol. Pennsylvania's four caught the water
first, but they were quickly followed by
Cornell and Columbia. Nearlng tho quar
ter mile Pennsylvania pushed Its head to
tho lead and thero was open water between
Cornell and Columbia. When tho three
crews approached tho bridge Cornell took
a swerve to the eastward ot Its course,
but tho bowman quickly regained his
tormor position and there was a brave fight
for the lead At the one mile mark Penn
sylvania still retained tho lead by half a
length nnd Columbia was a half length
ahead of Cornell. Cornell was slowly de
creasing Columbia's lead and all three
boats were holding their course In a beau
tiful manner. Nearlng the last quarter
Cornell Bpurted and again decreased Penn
sylvania's lead, while Columbia dropped
to tho rear. Tho Ithacans seemed to have
plenty of reserve power left and made
another spurt when near the finish, clos
ing the gap between the two shells and
taking tho lead' over Pennsylvania, win
ning tho race by' a length and a halt. Co
lumbia was not expected to make much
of a showing, but by Its heroic struggle
It finished third, only a length and a halt
behind Pennsylvania. Official tlmo: Cor
nell, 11:3!) 3-5; Pennsylvania, 11:45 2-5;
Columbia, 11:513-5. '
Frenlinicn llnvc n Chiince.
Tho freshmen race between crews rep
resenting Cornell, Pennsylvania and Syra
cuse foi the Steward's cup, presented by
Francis S. Bangs, was a beautiful strug
gle from start 'to' flnsh. Tfio crews got
away at 4:10:50 and all but Syracuse
seemed to catch tho wator at tho samo
time. After Jhb" first ten strokes Cornell
and PennsyjvahH'ttook' a slight lead over
tho other crews and at the end ot the
first quarter,, Cqrnell waB leading by n
length, with Pennsylvania second and Co
I lumbla and Syracuse almost on a line for,
I third place. Approaching tho bridge at
I the mllo mark Cornell was still retaining
Its lead, with Pennsylvania second, open
water between Pennsylvania and Columbia
and Syracuse fourth by a length.
All four crows wero rowing from 33 to
34 strokes to the minute. When tho crews
went under the brldgo Cornell had Increased
Its load a quarter of a length over the Penn
sylvania boat, while Syracuso had dropped
back two lengths to tho bad.
Entering tho last half mile Pennsylvania's
oarsmen hit up their stroke and made n
desperato effort to overcome Cornell's lead,
and they wero partly successful. Pennsyl
vanla'o spurt caused two lengths to show
between Itself and Columbia, whllo Syra
cuso was In tho wash of Pennsylvania. Cor
nell held Its lead by a length, Pennsylvania
second, Columbia third and Syracuse a bad
fourth. Stroko Pepper of tho Pennsylvania
crew again lifted tho stroke to 34, and then
to 36, to try to nvercomo Cornell's lead, and
the gap was gradually closed up, the Penn
sylvania freshles capturing the lead from
tho Ithacans. Cornell began splashing
badly at this time and It was discovered
that Torney at No. 5 had broken hli oar.
Tho Cornell eight wero unable after
that to regain the lead and Pennsylvania
won out by half a length. Columbia was
third by thrco lengthi and Syracuso fourth
by two lengths and a half. Official time:
Pennsylvania, 10.20 1-6; Cornell, 10:23; Co

DEADWOOD, S. I).. July 2. (Special,)
Twenty-live years ago thld tall the Slou
Indian nations signed the treaty giving
tho United States the portion of country
now known as the Black Htlls. it was
necessary for congress to appoint two spe
cial commissions before the proper agree
ment could be made.
When General Custer entered the Black
Hills In tho summer of lb" I with nn ex
pedition sent out by the government to
ascertain the actual condition of things
he found Indications ot gold In French
creek. On the afternoon of July 3, 1S74.
N, Boss, a scout of this expedition, panned
out the first particles of gold, which was
the first actual discovery, as far as rec
ords go. General Custer reported this
finding, which made It plain to congress
and tho president of tho United States
that it not only would be desirable, but
was absolutely necessary, for the govern
ment to got possession of this new gold
field.
First Commission Fnll.
Accordingly, on the ICth of June, 1875,
tho secretary of tho Interior appointed the
first commission, which consisted of the
following persons: Hon. William B. Alli
son of Iowa, chairman; Bishop E. II.
Ames, Jlaryland; Judgo F. W. Palnior, Illi
nois; Brigadier General A. II. Terry. U.
S. A.; Hon. A. Comings, Missouri; Rev.
S, D. Hlnmaii, Santeo agency; G. P. Beau
vals, St. Louis; W. E. Ashly, Beatrice,
Neb.; A. G. Laurence, Rhode Island.
Bishop Ames and Hon. F. W, Palmer de
clined to servo and Hon. T. 0. Howo of
Wisconsin wns substituted.
On the 20th of September of the same
year a grand council of tho Indians wns
called at a point on Whlto river, eight
miles from the Red Cloud agency. Tho
Indians present consisted of the noted
Sioux chiefs from the tribes of the Brules,
Ogalallas, Mlnnecoujous, Uncapapas,
Blackfeet, Two-Kettle's band, Sans Arcs,
Lower Brules, Ynnktons, Santecs, North
ern Chcycnncs nnd Arapohocs.
Tho commission first made a proposition
to purchase the mining right, this right to
revert to the Indians as soon as the min
erals wero exhausted cr tho country aban
doned for mining purposes. The Indians,
Influenced by tho squawmen. asked an ex
orbitant price for tho country, the final
figures being $70,000,000 nnd in addition
support for seven Indian generations. It
was Impossible for the commission to ac
complish anything and It consequently
broke up, recommending to congress In Its
report to continue negotiations with tho
Indians.
Second Coin in lesion Xnmed.
The second commission was appointed
In 1876 and by this time tho Indians had
begun to realize that they mit3t soon cede
their ground or lose It by conquest on tho
part of the whites. The new commission
