Feb. .SO—The Indian appropriation bill now before the Sen* ate for consideration is of vast import ance to the west, for it aims a destruct ive blow at tribal sovereignty and places the Indian territory in immedi ate touch with the long excluded forces of development. After providing the necessary ap propriation for the maintenance of the Dawes commission, the Senate com mittee has inserted: “Provided farther, that said com mission shall set apart the lands upon which any town ia located in the In , . dian Territory, together with a reason able amount of land to provide for the future growth of said town; also all lands occupied by aoy church, ceme tery, school, charitable or penal insti tution or public building of any sort outside of the limits of any town: also nil mineral lands, including coal oil and natural gas lands now leased, occu pied and improved for mining pur poses. that the u&c of the surface of all other lauds in the Indian Territory belonging to the Chickasnw, Choctaw, , I’heroKoe, Muscogee (or Creek) and Seminole tribes shall be allotted equal ly among their respective citizens, area and value being taken into considera tion, such allotments to embrace other Indians and freed men now living with said tribes according to the provisions of existing treaties and laws in rela tion to such other Indians and freed men. t; 'U • R V: ■j' ' ill I' r "United States courts in said terri tory shall have full and exclusive juris diction and authority to try and de termine all civil onuses for the punish ment of any offense committed after the passage of this act by any person in said torrritory. and thcUnitod States commissioners ia said territory shall have hu<1 exercise the powers ard juris diction already .conferred upon them by cxigting.laiv8.of the Ignited States as respout^AU persons and property in said territory, and the laws of the l;nitcd states and State of Arkansas in force in the territory shatt apply to all 'liersons therein, irrespective of race, said courts exercising jurisdiction thereof as now conferred ,upon them In tlio trial of like causes. "That said commission shall con tinue to exercise all authority hereto fore conferred on it. by law to negoti ate witli the five tribes, and any agree ment made by it with any one of the said tribes, when ratified, shall ope rate to suspend any provisions of this act if iu conflict therewith as to said nation. That no act, ordinance or resolution of the council of either of the aforesaid five tribes hereafter passed shall be of any validity until approved by the President of the United States." It must follow, if these amendments shall be adopted substantially in the form in which they are presented, that the many conditions which have served to exclude enterprise and blook terri torial progress must swiftly disappear. The rest of the bill ia much the usual sort Tho usual appropriations are made for1 Indijiiagents fn Oklahoma and tho Indian territory.

Lijccoi.s, Neb.,Feb. 20.—A statement of the financial condition of the state treasury pf Nebraska shows that ex State Treasurer J. 8. Bartley (Republi can) has a deficit staring him in the face of over S5QO.OOO. Coupled with this is a little item of 927,000, which cx-State Auditor Eugene V. Moore, also Republican needs to, account for in order to balance his books. ’ y Mr. Bartley is unquestionably, the victim of a too lenient policy in assist ing his friends.in a financial way. When the panic of 1893 struck Nebras ka he deposited large sums in various state banks to help them through the crisis. Several of these subsequently failed and others were so closely pressed that it was impossible to dis charge their obligations. Bartley says that in the course of time every eent will be paid. The shortage in Auditor Moore's' ac counts has not so far been explained. Action in regard to the state treas-'. tiry situation has been delayed ten days by a vote in v'he senate.

Feb. 20.—A sextuple tragedy was discovered one mile from this place yesterday on the ranch of Rev. Thomas Spicer. The horribly mutilated bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Spicer, their daughter, Mrs. William Rouse, with her 1-year-old twin boys, and the aged Mrs. Waldron, the mother of the postmaster at this place, were discovered scattered about the ranch, and there is yet no positive clue to the perpetrators of tne horrible crime. x ne appearance about the ranch, the condition of the bodies and some other circumstances have led to the suspicion that the murder was com mitted by Indians, and this suspicion wfu in part started from the known fact that one Indian was seen in the neighborhood of the ranch. Then, too, the bodies were terribly mutilated with axes and clubs, which fact is taken to at least partially corroborate the suspicion of the Indian murderers. The Standing Rock Indian reserva tion is not far away, and when the In dians from there get away from sight and manage to get hold of whisky, there is sure to bo trouble. If the murders were committed by Indians, the murderers are. undoubt edly now back among the reservation Indians. There is much excitement hero over the tragedy. peadlv>rTze~fTght.

While ins limp body was being carried out of the arena and into the dressing room by his seconds t ic spectators, none ^f whom suspected the awful truth, cheered lustily for the little black boy, Wright, who had been pro claimed victor over him. The death blow did not appear to be an especially vigorous one and not I one person in the amphitheater sus- j peeted the horrible truth.

Republicans of the Bouse May Kill the International Monetary Treaty. Washington, Feb. 10.—When the House committee on coinage took charge of the Senate bill for an inter national monetary conference, there was thought to be no doubt that it would be reported favorably, but the opposition has been growing steadily until it seems probable that, if re ported, the action will be against the wishes of a majority of the Republican members of the committee. All of the Republicans who have spoken on the measure before the com mittee have argued that it would be an embarassraent to the incoming ad ministration. On the other band, some senators say that Senator Carter of Montana, who recently held an in terview with the President-elect, quotes Mr. McKinley os expressing a desire that the bill should be passed.

STRONG WORDS TO WOMEN Mrs Helen H. Gardner Talks at the Evils of Subjection a? Mathers. Wasiusotojt, Feb. 10.—The First Baptist church was crowded tong be fore the opeuing of the mothers' con gress to-day mid an overflow meeting' was held iu the large Sunday school room. Mrs. Helen H. Gardner of Boston read a paper on the moral responsibil ity of women in heredity, in the course of which she said: “1 fear that I shall strike a less pleasunt note than those who have dealt with the ideal mother hood. My theme is scientific. It deals with demonstrable facts, and It goes back even of the kindergarten. Self-abnegation, subserviency to man —whether he be father, lover or hus band--is the most dangerous theory that can be taught to or forced upon a woman. She has no right to transmit a nature that is subservient and it slavish character, either blindly obedi ent or blindly rebellious, and there fore set, as is a time-lock, to prey or to be preyed upon by society of the future. If woman is not brave enough person ally to demand to obtain personal lib erty of action, equality sf status, en title control of hey great and race-en dowing function, maternity, she has no right to dare to stamp upon a child and to curse a race with the de scendants of such a servile, a dwarfed, a •time-and-master-serving character. We wonder how she dares to faco her child and know that she did not fit herself by self-development and by di rect, sincere, firm and thorough quail-' fleations for maternity before she dare to assume its responsibilities. We wonder that man lias been so slow in learning to read the message that nature hus telegraphed to him in letters of fire and photographed with a terrible persistency up on the distorted, diseased bodies nnd minds of his children and upon the moral imbeciles she has set before him as an answer to his message of sex domination. Do'you know that there is an army of 700,000 defectives in this country? Sjveu hundred thousand imbecile, insane, deaf, dumb, blind and criminal victims of maternal and pa ternal ignorance. Our standing army is only i'5,000 men—these for our pro tection; onr defective army 700,000— these for our destruction.” ALDERMEN ACCUSED.

ACCOMPLISHES A GREAT FEAT. Special Train of the Burlington Ron to Kona from Chicago to Deavor, 1,088 Milo, at an Average Speed 'of Nearly 58 Mile* an Hoar. Tbe Chicago, Burlington ft Quincy Railroad has just accomplished the greatest feat the world has ever known for long-distance fast running. It was made In a race against death to carry Henry J. Mayham of New York to the bedside of his dying son in Denver. The distance from Chicago to Den ver, 1,025 miles, was covered In ex actly 1,069 minutes’ actual running time. This is only a small fraction less than one mile a minute for the longest continuous run ever made by any railroad in the World. It was a run made In the ordinary course of business. No special prepa ration whatever had been contem plated for the trip. In exactly forty four minutes from the time the order for the train was received the throttle of the engine was pulled open and the train glided out of the Union Depot on a race which surprised railroad men the world over. The engine .which took the train on the-first run out of Chicago to Gales burg had just come in from Aurora pulling a regular passenger train. No time was spent in cleaning up, but it was quickly turned around, attached to the special train and manned by the same engineer who had brought it to Chicago. Not more than a half dozen officials or employes of the road knew the trip was to be made. This fact is the most important in the history of the great feat, as it demonstrates the superb physical condition of the road and the perfect management which en ables such remarkable time to bo maintained for more than a thousand miles. The time made by the record-break ing train is as follows, including all stops: From Chicago Miles. Time. To Galesburg . 163 2h. 56m. To Burlington . 206 3h. 48m. To Pacific Jet. 482 9h. 5m. To Lincoln . 641 lOh. 11m. To Hastings . 638 12h. 3m. To McCook .... 770 14h. 15m. To Denver . 1,025 18h. 53m. Average time, including stops, 64.3 miles per hour. Average time, excluding stops, 57.54 miles per hour. The first stop made by the train after leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street for supplies, where four minutes were consumed. At Aurora the traveling en gineer took one mtnute to look the en gine over and the train ran without a i stop until Mendota was reached, when three minutes more were consumed for the same purpose. A total of twenty one stops was made between Chicago and Denver, consuming in all sixty four minutes. The longest stop was made at Red Oak, la., where engines were changed on account of a hot truck. At this point the fastest run of the trip was made. Soon after leav ing Creston it was discovered that a box on one of the engine trucks was heating, but in spite of this fact the run of thirty-six miles was made in thirty-four minutes. At VIlliBca a fresh engine was substituted and the run to Red Oak, fifteen mfleo, was made in'as many minutes. Over long stretches of road between McCook and Denver the train made more than & mile a minute for dis tances of forty to sixty miles. Six en gineers took the train from Chicago to Denver, making an average- of 170 miles to each run. Mr. Mayham left New York Sunday morning at 10 o’clock on Pennsylvania Limited in response to repeated mes sages that his son, William B. May ham, was lying at the point of death at Denver. At Fort Wayne Mr. May ham became convinced that the ordi nary trains would not take him to the bedside of his son in time to< close his eyes in death, and he promptly vrtred the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy read to have in readiness a special train to carry him through to Denver in. the shortest possible time. The Pennsylvania arrived ini Chicago ten minutes late and thirty minutes making necessary preparation* for the were consumed by Mr. Mayham in journey. i n<5 ll alU ICll u»e —- — actly 10 o’clock Monday morning. The Burlington road had agreed t# make the trip to Denver “Inside of twenty four hours.” The feat, was accom plished in three minutes less than nineteen hours, or more than »ve hours under the stipulated, time.
