Senator Stevens oF Lincoln county
offered the following memorial, which
was read the first time.
To the Honorable Congress of the
United States of ' America: Your me
morialists, the senate and house of rep
resentatives of the state of Nebraska,
in session assembled, respectfully rep
resent, that. the present condition of a
large number of the citizens of a vast
area of our state, to-wit: Twenty
eight counties In the eastern part of
tbe state, viz: Lincoln, Dawson, Lo
gan, Custer, Thomas, Hooker, Grant,
Arthur, McPberson, Scots Bluff, Ban
ner, Kimball, Deuel, Cheyenne, Keith,
Perkins, Chase, Dundy, Hayes, Hitch
cock, Frontier, Harlan, Kearney and
Franklin, and containing a population
approximating 160,000 persons, is such
as to elicit public benevolence, and de
serve national consideration.
This vast area of country contains
within its soil all the elements neces
sary to the requirements of an agricul
tural district, it is populated with an
intelligent, industrious and economical
class of our citizens, and several years
of practical tests have amply demon
strated practical proof that the climatic
conditions are uniformly favorable to
agricultural pursuits, but tho climatic
conditions relating to humidity during
the past season nave been unfavorable
to the agricultural pursuits of the peo
ple, there having been an almost total
failure of crops, thus rendering the
condition of these settlers absolutely
alarming.
A reliable estimate based upon re
turns shows that an expenditure ap
proximating $1,000,000 will be neces
sary to supply the varieties of seed for
planting, and a limited supply of grain
as feed for teams when in use. To
meet this latter demand, your mem
orialists earnestly and respectfully ask
that congress make such early provis
ion as the exigencies of the situation
may demand, and the business of your
august body may permit. -
Senator Taylor of Loup mored that
Loup county be included. There being
no objection this was done.

A PEACEFUL OUTLOOK
ALL THE INDIANS CLOSE TO THS
AGENCY.
General Miles Will Keep Them Sur
rounded Until He Dtoarma Theni
He Preaenta Them With Two Wagon
Iioada ofTobacod.
Pink Riixje Aoenct, S. D. (via
Rushville, Nob.). Jan IS. Tho Indians
are in camp two miles from this place.
No trouble has occurred up to this
hour, 7 o'clock, and all is quiet. The
Indians number about 3,500. None are
allowed in the agency.
Pine Ridgk Aoenct, S.D.fviaRush-
ville.Nob.), Jan. 13. Early this morn
ing General Miles sent out Frank Glr
ard tad four Indian scouts to the hos
tile' camp, near the mission. They
were directed to inform the hos tiles
they could choose- their camp near Red
Cloud's house on Wolfe creek, one
mile to the east of the agency. But
they were no, to come into the agency
limits under any circumstances, except
a few chiefs and by , special order of
General Miles.
One of the requirements when they
surrender will be the immediate sur
render of the murderers of Lieutenant
Casey and the poor herder Miller, both
being murdered in cold blood. Gener
al Miles sent a wagon loud of tobacco
out to them yesterday as a present to
put them in good Tvumor, if possible
All the friondly Indians yostorday at
this place held a couhcil as to now
they should proceed lu the present cri
sis. They resolved to gather up their
tepees in as compact a circle as possi
ble, dig rifle pits around them and if
any hostiles come into their camp to
at once disarm and arrest them. If
tho hostiles fired a gun they would kill
them on the spot. Thoy foar thoy may
attempt to come among them, incite
them by shooting guns and thus draw
ing tho fire of the cannons of tho sol
diers that are so placed as to ovorlook
their camp. .They are determined to
avert any possible cuuso for sending
shell among them, which would cause
dreadful havoc in the closely huddled
tepees.
It is not thought the hosulos will
be disarmed for a day or two at
least. ;::: '.vi'y)
The Indians behind the advance
guard are keeping tip a rapid fire;:
shooting their own , horses and dogs
and venting their spleen toward the
friendlies among them by the firing of
guns over their heads.
The Brule and other young men are
haranguing about tho affair at Wounded
Knee and the fate of Big Foot's band,
which has the effect of terrifying the
women and children and making the
men suspicious and very oxel table. All
this may be seen from , the hill tops.
Half-breeds are coming in from the
camp and reporting to Miles that these
Indians will all fight to the death if any
attempt is made to disarm them now, '
or atny timo. They are very defiant
and trouble may ,bo expected. It is
not yet known in what way this result
will be brought about, as General
Miles is very retlcont whenever ap
proached upon this subject.
Shot by H la Comrade.

A Startling Statement.
Chicago, Jan. 13. -At tho meeting
of the Baptist ministers this morning
the startling statement was made by
Dr. Gordon of Boston that tno work of
missions was about to be abandoned in
thfiCons-o country for lack of funds.
The speaker moralized on the indiscre
tion displayed by churches in expend
ing funds. ,
"We have churches in Boston," no
said, "which soend $2,000 a year for
sinking and give comparatively noth
ing to mission work."
Dr. Gordon said this apathy was not
shared by foreign churches.

The Hupremn Court's Dectaion.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 13. On eott-'
veiling this morning the supreme court
announced lu decision allowing the
quo warranto proceedings against Gov
ernor Boyd to go on file and the sum
mons to issue. The ruling was by
Chief Justice Cobb and was oral. Fol
lowing Is a stenograph; report:
"Last Friday morning application
was made to file an information in the
nature of quo warranto by John M.
Thayer agait James E. - Boyd. We
have been given an opportunity of past
ing, and as these matters are of great
importance to the parties In court aa
well as to the people generally, we
have concluded, as a mere matter of
form and proceeding, and as a matter
of notice as well as of jurisdiction, to
indicate that a summons may be issued
returnable according to the statute
governing the issuance of summons la
the district court here; and we hare
determined in consultation that I should
say that if it should appear at any
time in the course of these pro&edini
that- tbe person elected lieutenant
governor at the last election should de
sire 104 intervene in this proceeding, ia
view of a decision in a certain "ray as
to the eligibility of the present incum
bent of the executive office, that tbe
court will allow such intervention and
furthermore, while it may jeem some
what out of place that what I am about
to say should come from this place, yet
we have deemed it advisable that It
should bo said that during the pen
dency of these proceedings, so for a
the matter may ever be directed ty
this court, unless we should be advicsi
differently from what we now re,tiut
the relator will lose nothing by a quiet
and orderly submission to the present
order of things growing out of the
recognition of James E. Boyd as the
legal governor, as now recognized by
this court and all departments of the
state government " si:
The hearing may be postponed five
weeks. " The summons is return&t'a cn
the second Monday after issue tl tie
defendant hat until the third lloaiij ,
thereafter to answer.
