Reservation May bo Opened , A Washington correspondent BIVVB : Members of the South Dakota delega tion have had conferences with Chair man Cannon at which the Houulmd Indian treaty bill was discussed. The bill will not go through the house at this Mission in its picHunt slmpo because Mr. Cannon will not consent to the government buying laud outright and waiting to bo reimbursed by Bales to sottlers.

If it is modified and passes , the opening will bo delayed , as the agreement will not become effective until ratified by the Indians. WANTED Clerks for our sample shoo sale , Saturday , February 21.
