the white man wants an Indian reser

the imminent danger of an Indian up

The new law, providing for free at
tendance at public high schools, which
went into effect this month, makes it
the duty of the State Department of
Education to determine annually what
schools in this state are properl3' equip
ped and subject to the provisions of the
law. Superintendent Corbett gives out
the following:
'Vibout June 1 the state superinten
dent sent out to all Inch schools and to
all county superintendents a circular
containing full information as to the
manner in which this determination
would be made, together with a blank
form for reporting the necessary data
from each high school. The absence of
school superintendents and principals
during the vacation has pi evented
many schools from sending in the re
ports The state department has. how
ever, just completed a partial list, sub
ject to the addition of other schools as
their reports are received.
"The following classifications of the
graded schools of the state indicates
the maximum amount of high school
work approved by the state depart
ment, except in unusual cases and after
special investigation.

teachers, such schools being expected
to carry four years, or grades, of tne
state course for high schools, or its
equivalent.
"Class B including all high schools
in cistricts naving six to lourteen
teachers, such schools being expected
to carry three vears of the state course
for high schools, or its equivalent.
"Class C In districts having three
to five teachers, such schools being ex

Progressive Education.
The teachers of Jefferson county
have this year adopted something new
in the organization of an educational

association are to be ex-ofticio members
and the county superintendent is to be
ex-ollicio chairman. To this council
is to be referred the work of preparing
programs for the countv association
and the consideration of such other
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the school system as may be submitted
by the association or superintendent.

Worked by Smooth Artists.
A goodly portion of Johnson county
has been worked by a brace of smooth
soap agents. These agents would sell
their unsuspecting victim about 25 cents

COLD BLOODED MURDER.
WYOMING WHITES BLAMED FOR THE
INDIAN TROUBLE.
SETTLERS HOTLY SCORED.
The United States District Attorney and
a Deputy Marshal Report the Result
of Their Investigation Into the
Matter to the Attorney Gen
eral No Justice for
Poor Iak
Washington, Sept. 2. The depart
ment of justice has recieved from the
United States attorney and marshal of
Wyoming the official reports of their
investigation into the Bannock Indian
troubles made by direction of the at
torney general.
The district attorney says: "I have
no doubt whatever that the killing of
the Indian Tanega on or about the
13th of July was an autrociousand cold
blooded murder, and it was a murder
porpetrated on the part of the con
stable, Manning, and his deputies in
pursuance of a scheme and conspiracy
to prevent tne Indians from exercising
a right and privilege which is, in my
opinion, very clearly guaranteed to
them by the treaty before mentioned.
Should prosecution on the part of the
United States be determined upon it
would be useless to commence it be
fore a commissioner. As the law is
now, we are bound to bring prisoners
before the United States commissioner
nearest to the place of arrest, and in
this case it would be before Mr. Pet
tigrew. the commissioner at Marys
vale. I am informed that he is thor
oughly in sympathy with the so-called
settlers in that region and that he ad
vised the constable, Manning, and his
posse, that the provisions of the treaty
under which the Indians claimed the
right to hunt upon the unoccupied
lands of the United States had, for
some reason, ceased to be operative.
Hence, I think to cause the arrest of
these men and take them for hearing
before this commissioner would simply
result in their discharge.
The United States deputy marshal
who investigated the trouble s ays that
after a careful investigation of the
whole affair he finds that the reports
made by settlers charging the Indians
with wholesale slaughter of game for
wantonness, or to secure the hides,
have been very much exaggerated.
"During my stay in Jackson's Hole,"
he continued, "I visited many portions
of the district and saw no evidences
of such slaughter. Lieutenants Gard
ner, Parker and Jackson of the Ninth
United States cavalry, who conducted
scouting parties of troops through all
portion's of Jackson's Hole, also found
this to be the case. On August 12 I
visited a amp of Bannock Indians who
had been on a hunt in Jackson's Hole.
The women of the party were prepar
ing the meat of seven or eight elk for
winter use, and every part of the ani
mal, even to the brains, entrails and
sinews was .being utilized either for
future food supply or possible source.
of pront.
"In connection with the trouble be
tween the Indians and the whites, I
spent some time inquiring into the
causes for the unconcealed hostility of
the Jackson's Hole people against the
Indians. There was little or no com
plaint among the settlers of offensive
manners on the part of the Indians.
Except in rare instances, they have
kept away from the houses of the set
tlers and have not been in the habit of
begging. In no instance has there
ever been a well authenticated case
where a settler has been molested by
an Indian. The killing of game by
Indians and by the increasing number
of tourist hunters threatens to so de
plete the region of big game, deer,
elk, moose, etc., as to jeopardize
the occupation of the professonal
guides at Jackson's Hole. It
was decided at the close of last
reason to I eep the Indians out of the
region this year, and the events of this
summer are the results of carefully
prepared plans. This was admitted by
United States Commissioner Pettigrew
of Marysvale and Constable Manning
said: 'We knew very well when we
started in on this thing that we would
bring matters to a head. Some one
was going to be killed, perhaps some on
both sides, and we decided the sooner
it was done the better, so that we could
get the matter before the courts.' If
a full investigation of the trouble
Should be held, the fact would be es
tablished that when Constable Mann
ing and his posse of twenty -six
settlers arrested a party of Indians on
July 13 and started with them for
Marysvale, lie and his men did all they
could to tempt 'e Indians to try to
escape in order that there might be a
basis of justification for killing some
of them."
Trouble Expected in Oregon.
Buknes, Ore., Sept. 2. The Indians
at Warm Springs and Umatilla reserv
ations come to this country annually
to kill deer for their skins. The
county judge wrote to the agencies
asking that they be kept out, but with
out effect.and now the people threaten
to drive out the India s, fifty of whom
have already arrived. Should they
persist in going to Stein mountains,
there is likely to be trouble.
A Boy King Almost Drowned.

New York, Sept. 2. R. (J. Dun &

war ning against too rapid expansion

In some directions the advance in
prices clearly checks future business.
But encouraging features have great
power. Exports of gold continue, but
are met by syndicate deposits and ex
pected to cease soon. Anxieties about
the monetary future no longer hinder
Crop prospects, except for cotton, have
somewhat improved during the week.
Important steps toward reorganiza
tion of great railroads gives hope to
investors Labor troubles are for the
present less threatening and some of
importance have already been settled.
The industries are not only doing bet
ter than anybody expected, but are
counting on a great business for the
rest of the year. The. advance in
prices of iron and its products has
added about S2 a ton more in a single
week to the prices of Bessemer iron at
Pittsburg and yet the great steel com
panies are buying wherever they can,
while the air is full of reports that this
or that finished product will still
further advance.
Lead is still 83.52j, though the pro
duction in the first half of lS-'o was
10.",y0 tons, with increasing stocks
from 3,158 tons in January to 8,511
tons in July. Coke is demoralized
with sales at Si. 10 per ton.
Wool has been speculatively hoisted,
so that sales have fallen below last
year's, in August 22,200,400 pounds, of
which 10,902,100 were foreign, against
2.".74t,8.0 last year, of which only
4,.r.'W,:;00 were foreign.
The prospect for wheat has hardly
improved this week, although the
price has fallen one-fourth of a cent.
Corn is coming forward more freely,
and the September prices have declined
a quarter of a cent with the promise of
a great crop; pork and lard are a shade
lower.
STOPPED THE DEBATE.
Shameless Conduct of a Kentucky Audi
ence Toward Mr. Bradley.
Eminence, Ky., Sept. 2. Tiie sixth
joint debate in the series of twelve,
which was to have taken place be
tween Colonel W. O. Bradley and Gen
eral I. W. Hardin, at Eminence, yes
terday, was called off on account of
the noisy demonstration of the crowd.
Colonel Bradley was to have opened
and closed the debate. When he at
tempted to begin the noise and dis
turbance of the ccowd was so great
that he was compelled to sit down.
W. P. Thorne, the Democratic chair
man, arose and appealed to them for
order, but the crowd paid no attention
to him. Colonel Bradley attempted
again and again to speak, six times in
all. but failed to get a hearing. See
ing that any attempt to speak was in
vain, he gave it up. saying that the
noise was more than he could stand,
and refusing most positively to proceed
farther.
The colonel said: "I wish I had ray
voice a minute, so I could tell this
crowd what utter contempt I hold
thorn in." Then folding up his manu
script he left the stand. The action of
the auhience is condemned by the
chairman of the Democratic committee
us well as the Republicans, who were
present, and they declare it is an out
rage and disgrace to Henrv countv.

Detectives Geyer of Philadelphia,
Richards of Indianapolis and Inspector

hunting for traces of the boy's body.
He was traced here with Holmes and

Yesterday morning the detectives

went to the house, and a few minutes
later the officers found beneath the
side porch the missing .trunk which

Circle house in this city October 1Q by
H. H. Holmes, and which was thought
to contain the body of the boy.
In a barn connected with the house
ks a large stove of cylinderical shape
of the same pattern as Holmes bought
in Cincinnati. He rented the house
under the same alias. The stove had
been moved from the hout-e to the
stable by the owner of the house after
Holmes left. It was at once concluded
that the body had been burned in the
stove, and search was began for the
remains.
Last evening Dr. J. F. Barnhill's at
tention was called by a small boy
named Walter Jenny to the stove hole
where the stove had been. It was
filled with refuse. This was pulled
out and the remains of the boy were
found. Thysicians and dentists were
there, and in this pile of refuse hun
dreds of pieces of charred bones were
found.
The teeth showed that the body was
that of a boy between 8 and 10 years
of age, and all the other bones con
firmed this. All were charred, and
pieces of flesh clung to some of them.
The skull bone and pelvis added to the
6ame convincing truth. The body tad
evidently been burned in a cob fire,
and in the huge stove found in the
barn.
Howard's overcoat was found at a
grocery store near by, where nolmes
had left it, saying the boy would call
for it. He never came. Owners of
the house recognize Holmes from pict
ures, and several neighbors distinctly
remember his face. All identify him
as the man who last October rented
the house with the same story he told in
Toronto and other places, came with
the boy and big stove, wash stand and
bed, stayed two days and then disap
peared. Seven people have identified
him, and all doubt is removed. Other
developments are expected, and with
this evidence Indianapolis will de
mand Holmes for triaL
