Mr. Patterson is now interested in a job p-inting office in Des Moines, and his friends in Sioux county will be pleased to learn that he is prospering. 'A correspondent living in White River says all is quiet there since the Handy Ranch was cleaned out and that it appears to be rattier unfair for so many to be taken to Omaha charged with illegal cutting of timber to improve their farms. It is hoped that some ar rangement will be made so that Uie tim ber cutting matters may be investigated , without going to Omaha.

A similar one on tlie part of Sioux county would doubtless be of benefit to those who liave to get all their feed and supplies shiped in. We are informed that a eoni)uny is being formed in the vicinity of Montrose for the purKse of sink'i.,, rn artesian well In order to tt tnat niethou tr irri gating. Hie nation and state are taking a good (leal of interest in that matter and if the people also take hold of it, there is no (piestion that a great deal of good will !e accomplished. - We received a letter a few days ago from our old friend H. H. Russell. He has lieen in Omaha nearly two weeks as a witness in the tiuilier cutting car.o. He has been sick a iart of the time and says he is tired of city life and would like to got back to Sioux county where the air is pure. The forced attendance at United Suites court, at a place five hun dred miles distant works a hardship on the witnesses, nearly as great as on those charged with violation of the law. We are informed that a lock of in terest exists among some of the people in reirurd to sending their children to school. The cause of this is unknown, but it slould be investigated and if pos sible removed. There is no better legacy for parents to give their children than an education, for armed with that they are much better prepared to go into tlie bat tle of life than they are with a good amount of capital and no education. It is hoped that all parents will do alt in their power to give their children an op portunity to take advantage of the free schools. We have received inquiries from the eastern part of the state in regard to the condition of the settlers in Sioux county and if there are any destitute. We hojie our people will make a little investiga tion and see if any are in need, in order that assistance may be rendered if nec essary. It was only a few years ago that the people in the eastern part of the sttite were destitute and supplies were sent them from points in the older settled states, and now that disaster has befallen the pioneers who are developing the new portions of the state, those who were befriended in the past are ready and willing to assist those in need. It ih hojied that any cases of need will be re ported in lime so that assistance may be alforded and suffering and distress pre vented. There appears to be a very loose method of doing business practiced by some people in the matter of estrnys. A man takes up an animal and proceeds according to law, files a description with the justice of the peace and later with the county clerk and then advertises it, bearing the expense thereof as well as caring for the animal, and the first thing the man knows some one comes along and unceremoniously takes the animal away, without paying the costs or even con sulting the man who has taken the ani mal up. Among those served thus ard B. F. Thomas, W. F. Shepherd and Geo. Olinger, and it would seem that it was abeut time a stop was put to such proceedings. When an animal is taken up us an stray and the requirements of tlie law complied with, the owner has no right to take it until settlement is made, and Dome one will get into trouble for such illegal acts. The farmers cannot afford to permit stray stock to eat up the feed tltey have provided for their own stock, and when they take up es trays to protect themselves they do nqt want to be cheated out of tlie feed they have used and the costs they have ad vanced. .

On Thursday these became so thick tlmt, taking into consideration the fact that but few guns were in possession of the people of this place, tlie village board wired the governor for guns and ammunition. No word was received and on Friday people from the valley began to come here for protection, and these reported that signal fires liad been seen along 1Im Black Hills on the preceding night, and some uottfd the smoky ap pearance of the atmosphere and attri buted it to a battle, while others de- lared tliat tliey had heard the firing in the direction of the reservation. All were considerably alarmed, and another message was sent to tlie governor,- urg- ng that guns and ammunition be sent at once. Gen. L'ole wired mat all vne guns and ammunition that could be spared had been forwarded, and on Monday forty rifles and one thousand cartridges were receivad. The settlers from the country brought bedding and supplies with them and took possession of the court room and made themselves as comfortable as possible. A number of families gathered at the homes of J. G. Morris and C. F. Coffee and those gentlemen extended hospitality to all who came, which was appreciated those in tlie localities of each. The set tlers in other parts of the county went to Fort Robinson, or arranged to gather at stated places for protection, and a few sent their'families east. The feeling of fear lias'toa great extent been" dispelled by the delay of an outbreak and the con centration of troops at the Indian posts. The cause of the alarm is that the In dians expect the advent of a Mesiah, in the form of a Buffalo, who is to lead them to war against the whites, the leaders inspire courage in the warriors by telling them that should any of them fall in battle they would immediately rise again and IrtntMMgrvifaTlhmeitl Preparatory to the coming of their lead er they keep up the "ghost dance" which is said to have always been the custom among the redskins before going on the warpath. It is stated that they are all armed with Winchesters, revolvers and knives, and have large supples of am munition. (Jen, Brooke Is at Pine Ridge in command of the troops and is gather ing a good strong force of soldiers. It is expected that today a demand will be made for the Indians to lay down their arms, and if this is not complied with a fight will be apt to take place. The lat est report is that the cause of the trou ble is cause by tlie government not giv ing the Indians enough to eat and now a cry will go up to increase their rations. It is quite certain tliat the officers con sidered that there was danger or they would not have concentrated so many troops there. So long as the Indians are permitted to have arms and ammunition so long will they be apt to cause trouble. The government should disarm them aDd make it an offense with a heavy penalty attached for any person to furnish them with weapons or ammunition, and also issue orders to those in .charge of the agencies to confiscate any weapon found in the possession of the redskins. The excitement caused by tlie actions of the Indians has caused a great deal of worry expense and loss to tlie settlers for hun dreds of miles in all directions from the various reservations, many having de serted their homes to seek a place out of reach of danger, and Uie government owes it to tlie citizens tliat steps be taken which will make an Indian outbreak at any future time absolutely impossible, There are now enough troops at Pine Ridge to hold the Indians in check and the settlers can now return to the ordi nary pursuits.

COME IN AND SEE US, GRISWOLD & MARSTI I A number of arrests have been made i this county by the United States au thorities for cutting timber on govern ner.t land and on Monday J. T. Mason was in Harrison circulating a petition asking that investigation be made of such charges, before defendants and wit Besses are compelled to go to Omaha for trial. It is claimed that a large propor tion of tlie complaints are made on ac count of personal spite. It is under stood thut no one has a legal right to re move timber from government land, but tliat no action has been taken by the au thorities against those who have cut timber and had it sawed for use in im proving their farms, or for fuel, but it seems that some were not content with that but cut timber for the purpose of making money out of it. That is not right. It is no more than justice that the settlers be permitted to get lumber for use on their farms and if the laws do iTiot permit that they should be amended so that that they will, but for men to cut the timber off the land and dispose iof it to outside parties is not right. It is hardly likely that the intent of the Jaw is to work a hardship on the settlers, but it is the abuse of, the prvilege which causes trouble. It is likely that the matter will be adjusted so as to treat all fairly. CHAMBERLAIN'S Eye and Skin Ointment.
