Thorn , a former teacher m the Rosebud reservation , now iving at Lincoln , Nebr. , is the iiithor of a small pamphlet ex- ) osing conditions said to exist on he agency , severely criticising a mmber of officials and the licensed Indian traders who have become vealthy dealing with the Indians , tfr. Thorn was dismissed from the iervice about a year ago at a time vhen he was near promotion , and he grievance against him seems o have been of such trivial nature hat many others , who are more fuilty than he have never been luestioned. While the investi gations are being made into other lepartments , we are inclined to he belief that something rotten : ould be found in the Indian ser- rice and a little scientific probing vould do immeasurable good. It ; ould do no harm to those whore -re performing theii duties loyal- y and no one should object to a borough investigation of the con- litions in the Indian service both lere and elsewhere. - . * : * IIi.-S-.rJ8S Bi Congressman Kinkaidls in town today.

The masquerade of last week at the skating rink was a popular event. The floor was crowded with skaters , well masked , and in genious costumes representing the cowboy with lasso , revolver belted on and cowbow hat , an Indian costume , a soldier , a tramp , black birds with huge beaks belted on for a face , clowns , two old women and a number of others , all mak ing a grand wierd scence as they glided round the room in grace ful movements. The most at tractive being decided in favor of Walter Jackson , dressed as a swell coon with high collar , low cut vest , shiny black face and wig , swallow tailed r.oat , silk plug hat and a short can which he twirled in his fingers as he glided about the room pushing his head back and his chest forward ; and his partner , Roscoe Fischer , who was Jressed as a colud gal in gaudy waist and skirt of black and red 3ots with broad rimmed hat pro fuse with flowers and a yellow sash ribbon daintily tied under the shin.

The ire swept west and south for sev eral miles , burning the stables of 3enry Ormesher , who was lately narried to a daughter of Barney Denaeyer. Mrs. Ormesher was in he house alone and asleep , but the ire , though all around the house , lid not burn it , though the smoke vas so dense round about as to be ! most stifling. A team of Hen- y's horses was burned in the > arn and a big pile of lumber , ' or 8 big wagon loads was also > urned , besides a wagon loaded pith lumber. Frank Higgin , Jr. , , lso suffered considerable , having tearly all of his barns , sheds and ( , wagon burned.
