VALKNTINH'S fool friends are stir ring up a hornet's nest with n very short polo. CmcAfio has shut down on the slug ging mutches. Other cities ought to fol low suit. SHAM assessments are to-day the worst obstruction to Omaha's progress. The tax shirkers must go. ASSESSMENTS must bo equalized. The interests of poor tax payers and the revenue - enuo requirements of the city demand it. PCBI.IC improvements are now in opor- tion. When full steam is turned on it will taku a line tooth comb to find nn un employed laborer in Omaha. FAKNAM street ought to have the cable lino. It has the best grade and is the proper location : It is wide enough and wealthy enough to secure the road. Tin ; Apaches continue to got in their work. It is about time for the Indian lighters of thu eastern press to turn their batteries of criticism on Gen. Miles as they did on ( Jen. Crook. Tirn advertising columns , of the HKI : evidence the business activity of Omaha's merchants and dealers. The rush for space in our columns is quite be yond precedent oven in the people's lavorito advertising medium. WHAT 1ms become of the military com mittee's bills for the rebuilding of Ne braska's frontier posts ? The removal of Dr. McGillicuddy makes the necessity for the passage of these measures all the more prc&s'mg. THE approaching musical festival hould bo largely and generously pat- by the cultivated people of Omaha. Its success moans a great deal for the future of such enterprises in Omaha. It should bo so pronounced that there need bo no question whether this city can sustain a musical festival of the lirst-olass. SENATOK VAN WYCK'S fight in the sen ate to Increase the minimum pension for disabled veterans will bo appreciated by the old soldiers of the west. The bill as passed by the senate provides for the sup. port of a largo number of impoverished but deserving soldiers of the war. It places upon the pension list honorably discharged soldiers who have no means of support in proportion to their disabili ty , whether their disabilities wcro ac quired in the service or not. Senator Van Wyck proposed and supported an amendment to make $8 per month the Minimum sum for pensions in such cases. In MS speech supporting this amend ment the senator show ed that under ex- feting laws bonelicinrics of the govern- frnmont may receive as llttlo as $1 a month , and from thnt up through frae- tionn of a dollar. A maximum rate is Allowed , and then the mini is graded ijown according to the ideas of the pen sion department. Senator Von Wyck insisted that if a soldier la entitled toner nor pension at all ho is certainly entitled to | 8. His arguments succeeded in in ducing the senate to make "tho minimum ti instead of ifl , as formerly , und thus amended the bill passed and was sent to tbo house. Tim effects of Mr. Sparks rigid scrut iny of land entries are being seen in the general peopling of Nebraska by actual settlers in the frontier counties. It is u matter of general remark that the townships - ships which have been entered during thu past year have more actual residents to thu fiquaru mile than is to be found in the older communities from 50 to 100 miles east. This is admitted by land oflicers who are not particularly friendly to Commissioner Sparks. Mr. Sparks 1ms the interests of the govern ment at heart. He lias done an excellent work since his assumption of ofllco in clearing out the rogues nnd rascals who have made the nation' bounty , intended lor the landless , means of increasing their own Immense private fortunes through fraud iind perjury. The actual settlers of Ne braska have n6 fault to find. > Y th Com missioner Sparks. His rulings do not af fect their vested interests. . Claim-jump- rs steer clear of men who are working their claims. Special agents decline to interfere with settlers who are working their pre-emptions nnd homesteads. The bowl comes from bogus pre-omptors and Bumoy sharks who Iind their occupation gone under an honest and fearless adMinistration - Ministration of the land office. Rplcntilil Confidence. Mr. Gladstone is reported as saying that his homo rule bill is as Rtiro to pass as ho to take his scat the next day in the house of commons. This is splendid con fidence on the part of the premier , and shows that ho yet holds cards in reserve which ho will nlav when the momentous moment arrives. Hut others are less san guine of the immediate success of homo rule. The cool and self contained Parnell expresses no confidence in the result. Ho contents himself with saying that all Ireland is satisfied with thu ministerial proposals , and that ho has no amendments to offer to Mr. Gladstone's generous meas ure of relief for Ireland. Hut ho is by no means certain that liberal treachery and lory hate may not triumph over justice and magnanimity. It is to bo a haul light , and no one appreciates the fact bolter than the white-haired statesman who is pinning his political faith on the simple issue of justice to Ireland and freedom for Irishmen. Whatever the re sult of the Issue , it will probably be the end of Mr. Gladstone's public career. Ho recognizes thir fact , and acainst the most fearful odds of lost friends and rancorous cereus fiiicmios , of centuries of accumu lated proiudico ann thu glowing liru of awakened religious intolerance , ho inter poses thu .shield of political autonomy and appeals to the English love of fair play. Hut the confidence of the premier is doubtless based upon his long experience as a public man , which has taught him that no political change has over been urged by n majority of the liberal party in England which has not , how ever defeated , linally found its way to the statute books of thu United King dom. If thu present commons defeats homo rule a new parliament will be sum moned to deal with thu all important question. Mr. Glad&tonu feels assuiod that the heart of England is with him whatever the political opinion of the ex isting parliament. If hu is beaten on a .voto he will promptly appeal to thu conn- 'try on thu issue of home rule , and confi dently await the result. Abolish Allen I/amllorils. Mr. Payson , of Illinois , has reported from the public lauds committee the bill introduced by him early in thu session to prohibit any further acquirement of lands by non-resident aliens. Congress has apparently awnkuncd at last to the necessity of providing against the en croachments of alien landlords upon the public lands of the United States , not , however , until more than 20,000,000 acres have boon acquired by non-resident own ers , and the entire public'domain reduced to something like 55,000,000 acres. The text of Mr. Payson's bill is as fol lows : "That no nou-reaUlcnt alien or forolRiier nor any resident ullon or foreigner who has not declared his Intention to become acitl/en of the United States , nor any corporation or association wheio at most one-tenth of Its stock or right of piopcrty is owned or con trolled by aliens or fuielgneis , shall acquire or own , hold or possess , by richt , title or de scent iiccmlng hereafter , any real estate in any of the territories of the United States , provided that the piovislons of this net shall not apply to the real cstato necessary for the construction and operation of any rail- loail. " The report accompanying this bill con tains a list of property held by foreigners in the western states and territories that makes a startling total. According to this list , which the committee assorts is not by any means complete , one English syndicate owns 8,000,000 acres in Texas ; "tho Holland company" owns 4,500.000 acres in Now Mexico ; Sir Edward Iluid and 11 syndicate own 3,000,000 acres in Florida , and other individuals and syn dicates , mostly Englishmen and Scotch men , own tracts of land in various parts of the country , varying in size from 1,800,030 acres , hold by a syndicate in Mississippi , to a little 5,000 aero ranch , held by Sir J , L. Kay , of Yorkshire , Eng land. The committee report that in a great many cases these vast tracts have been acquired by irregular and unlawful means , and a measure will bo recom mended suggesting that congress author ize a commission to examine into land grants in New Mexico and Arizona. In vestigations aru now being made in a great many cases , and it is expected that much land will bo reclaimed that has been secured to its nlion holders by fraud. Mr. Payson's bill covers only the pub- Ho lands which , for the most part , arc now contained in the territories , It will become the duty of the states to supple ment this legislation by laws prohibiting aliun landlordism altogether in this country. We are willing to naturalize , assimilate und make citizens of any re- spuctablu material from foreign countries , but we must govern our land owners ourselves. llnllroiul Kxtunulnnit In Nebraska. Statements are presented by the It nil. way Age of track laid in the various states and territories during the four months of the present year ending April SO. The record inoludcu forty lines aggregating 0001 mil us ot main track which is a total about twine that reported up to the same period of last year. It is also larger than for the same period of 18S1 , "and indeed , " says the j\ge \ , "in any of tliu last thirteen years excepting the four I860 ' 81 ' 82 nnd ' 83 the years , , , , aggre gate of construction for 1880 exceeding that of any previous year in the history of the country. Some traoklaying has already been done in nearly half tlui states of thu union , although most of them report only one road each , Thu principal activity thus far appears to bo in Texas , Wisconsin , Illinois , Florida , and Kansas , tiuil these figures are an indication of the very largo mileage - age which is actually under construction in these states , as the record for the full year will show. Of the forty lines re ferred to in the table , tracklaylng is still In progress on at least twenty-four , and these alomi expect to add fully 1,800 miles to their present mileage during this year. " , Nebraska was omitted from tno list of twenty-two states and territories in which track was laid during the first few months of 1881 * , because railroad exten sion did not generally begin until the 1st of the present month , Since that date UOftriVi J' ' n ° t T'itu , 100 miles of rails have been > plkeil , half ClY'dcli / ' Wpro laid on the Klkhorn Valley extension west from Chadron. The Union Pacific Loup City branch has also boon com pleted and work is progressing on the various extensions of the 1) ) . & . M. north and south of the Platte. The work al ready muppdd out and in progress on railroads in Nebraska , for the pres ent season will add from 500 to l.COD miles of trackage , With the passage of tbo Union Pacific rulief bill this amount will bo largely in creased : The proposed Rock Island extensions through southern Nebraska , if carried out , as they probably will be , will still further add to the list. The work to bo done will bo quite equally divided between the sections north and south ot the Platto. The Elkhorn - horn Valley line , owned by the North western , has already nearly conlpletod its extension across the state line into Wyoming. When work is finished on its Scribncr and Lincoln branches and the proposed Omaha short line , the now trackage added by this company will place it in the lead of new railroad construction during the present year. The Burlington exten sion from Grand Island into the northwest - * west , which is heading toward the Wyo ming line nnd the Union Pacific's Lottp Valley branch , will complete the list of now railroads built in the North Plattu country outside of the Ashland branch of the U. & M. , the Missouri Pacific and the Holt Line connections of those roads with Omaha. Thu Missouri Pacific , the Btirllneton and the Hock Inland will busy themselves in pushing feeders and extensions in tlio section between thu rlvur and thu Kansas lint1 , with a probable mileage equal to that of the new roads in thu North Platte country. A significant feature of the railroad building of the present year is tlio gen eral absence of thu "bond" issue. Riv alry and competition aru urging the var ious syntums into a rapid extension of their lines in directions which the refusal of products nnd counties to vote aid can not materially affect. Thu roads , must bo built , bonds or no bonds , and our farm ers and settlers aru reaping the benefit of thu struggle. Thu Klkhorn Valley road has been pushed west from Valentino within u year without a dollar's worth of local aid , and othur s.ystums have discov ered that the old timu willingness of thu frontier to pay big bonuses for railroads which would bu built subsidy or no sub sidy , lias passed away. Hatter Must Go. The manufacturers of bogus butter are deluging thu press with circulars protest ing against stringent legislation against thu manufacture of their product. They quote the opinions of sciuntifio authori ties to tlio effect that buttorino is healthy nnd oleomargarine quite as good as thu genuine dairy product. They appeal to the publiu to visit their factories and in spect the manufacture of butter from lard nnd suet , and promise a surprising revelation to parties who imagine that a bogus butter mill is not as cluau as a well kept creamery. This is all well enough in its way , but it docs not touch thu mam question. No matter iiow cleanly or how healthy the product of the buttcrine factories may be , thu fact remains that it is sold under false pretenses and that its sale as butter is seriously injuring American dairy interests. If bogus butter were known to bo bogus butter its consump tion would drop to a mere bagatelle of what it now is. Consumers would prefer any day to pay 20 per cent more for the clean product of tlio dairy than for dc- odori/.cd lard , colored with anallnu and softened with cottonseed oil. The bogus butter business thrives on fraud. The fraud begins at thu factory when the stuff is packed in tubs marked "Fine Creamery" It is contin ued by the retailers when the neatly wrapped rolls are palmed oft'on customers as "tho best country butter , " It only ends when a surprised stomach wrestles with the doctored up lard in tlio vain attempt to digest it as it does the product of the churn. The farm ers of the United States are u unit in de manding that such fraud shall bo made impossible , bccraise its successful con tinuance means the certain destruction of our great dairy interests. Consumers of butter who discover that their family grocer has boon unable to resist tlio temptation to make 100 per cent , profit by charging creamery prices for deodor ized lanl , arc anxious that such tempta tion shall be forever removed. Uogtis butter must go. THE street sign question must not bo allowed to drop out of sight because ridiculous overtures to combine personal advertising with a public function have been made in connection witli the plain proposition that our streets must bo named. The council owes it to both res idents of Omaha and strangers in the city that our streets shall bo labelled so they can be readily distinguished. This will require botli the lettering of the street lamps and the fixing of small signs on corner buildings in the thickly built up parts of the city and on gate posts and fences in the residence portions. When estimates are secured it will bo found that the work will not bo as ex pensive as some of the coun- oilmen imagine. A thrcof ( inch strip not more than fourteen inches in length will bo largo enough to answer the purpose. The letters should bo painted in white on a dark background. Experience in other cities has shown that this style of street sign best answers the purpose. Hut work should bo begun a once. Omaha is being materially injured in tlio eyes of prospective investors in real cstalu by the difficulty which they , with every one else , experience in find ing their way about the city. It will bo necessary in this connection that an or dinance bo passed forbiddingwith proper penalties , the defacement or removal of street signs when put in place. OMAHA is growing , steadily , surely , rapidly growing. She is growing not only in now real estate additions , but in an increasing population to fill them , A glance down our busy streets , a skim over the directory , a look at the adver tising columns of hur papers show the basis of her growth. Fully 800 now business firms have been added to the list since the year named , NQW whole sale houses are being added to her re sources , now factoricst are rising along her track , Nuw lifu U everywhere-being infused into her commercial and indus trial veins. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IT ? { ' ? ? !

Smith and his creditors out all right , Gail iUi > l1 Lowoy to the wall , According to our Lincoln correspondent Smith's confes sion is the result of the pleading of a Bos ton beau-eating ocauty who is deeply in love with Smith. She it is who has in duced him to straighten up so that ho can return to thn United States and marry her. This is , indeed , n beautiful little summer romhnc * . "Pout'TO , " in thb'O'hicago Times , won ders why Omaha loc not commemorate George Francis Train by n statue In a public square , or a haroio painting in n public hall , or a moholithlo column on one of its conspicuous bluffs. Mr. Train Is yet living , and.it . is not customary to erect marble trinnumctits in such cases. When Mr. Train dies Omaha may erect a monolithic column to his memory. The HF.K will give him a column at any time. ANOTHKII policeman has been seriously assaulted and laid up. The penitentiary yawns for roughs who , whenever they get an opportunity , "do up" a police man. They ought to bo punished to the full extent of the law. If the next policeman who Is assaulted or resisted should do a little clubbing or shooting , It might have a salutary effect , and his notion would bo approved by the gioat majority of citizens. NKW Yoitic CUNTKAI , has made a divi dend of only three-quarters of one per cent on its capital stock. As the capital stock was watered uy the old commodore at the rate of "iO.OOO per mile even this amount of earnings is a handsome return on thu actual investment. THK Chicago bogus butter manufac turers are now paying more attention to spreading of defensive circulars than they aru to the spreading of their offensive butter. Their literary bureau is kept busy in addressing envelopes and licking stamps. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ OMAHA still continues to lead all other cities in tlio percentage of increase m her clearances. Her increase last week was 53 per cent over the corresponding week of last year. Kansas City follows with 41.0 pur cent of increase. POINTS. In Pennsylvania the prohibitionists talk of nominating Chas. K. Wolfe for governor. Speaker Carlisle and Jlr. Morrison are of opinion that the adjournment of congress by June 1 , Is possible. In Maryland the prohibitionists Intend to nominate candidates in every congiesslunal dlstilct in the state. Four republican nominations for congress have been made ; two In Tennessee , one In Indiana and ono In Oregon. Ex-Senator Doollttle , who says he Is out ot politics , Is accused of an Intention to fall In with the republican party. Four candidates aremaklnc ; canvasses on the still-hunt plan fonthciidemocratic nomi nation for governor of Alabama. Lewis E.

Lounsbury Is ofllclally declared a candidate for the icrmbllcan nomination for governor of Connecticut Ho has been a candidate before. Private business , Congressman Mitchell , of thn Second Connecticut disttlct , says , will prevent hia acceptance of a renominatlon , but It is susuected that thn same obstacle will not stand In the way of his becoming the democratic nominee for governor of the state. Massachusetts Is sick of the clvll-scrvlco reform already. A 1)111 has passed the lower house of the legislature by an overwhelming majority allowing old soldlcis to bo appoint ed to oflico without examination , and it Is expected this will bo but ; ho prelude to ex tending the rule indefinitely. Pennsylvania has a primary election law which has stood the sciutmv of the supreme court A decision has just been londercd which declares that the nethods for nomi nating candidates for ofBce are subject to icgulatlon by law , A candidate who secured his nomination by olTorliu ; appointments to delegates Is ousted from ofileo under thu de cision. The New York Evening Post complains that a Hill boom and a Blalno boom for the presidency are being woikcd side by sldo In that state by two paitics on precisely similar principles , the distribution of. pahonago and derision of civil service refoun being the basis on both sides. It lays Gov. Hill was elected as a Jcffeisonlau democrat and hu Is simply carrying out the principles he has al ways professed. New Jersey is to have a lively campaign. The question of micccMsorshlp to Uov. Leon Abbott would Itself bo tutlicicnt to set the state agoi ; , but when the election of a United States senator to succeed ( Jon. Win. J. Sew- ell Is also Involved , the piospcct becomes ex citing In the highest decree. ( Jen. Sowell Is a candidate lor re-electjon , and ho will cer tainly bu returned if the next legislature Is republican. With alimfit equal certainty Gov. Leon Abbett will be the general's suc cessor in thu event of a democratic legisla ture.

But there Is another ( pic'stlou Involved : Will eight hours btlng money cnmmh tor their adequate support of those dependent upon the workers ? The answer to this depends upon the condition of tlio labor uinikct tlm amount ofork to be done , the number who aic available to do it , nnd the piollts of those who employ it. It is not , therefore , a matter for aibltmry settlement. Everything depends upon the factors In thopioblcm. In some oc cupations and places , and at some times , eight hours is enough.

Clitcagn Tribune. Certain squeamish and overfnstidious persons are protesting against tlio free dom witli which the public press is dis cussing tlie forthcoming marriage of President Cleveland and Miss Folsom , though they are thu very ones who read thu details with the most avidity and would bo disappointed if all the gossip on the subject were not given them in ample and daily dutail. They are like the prudes who never let the prurient details escape them and never cease to abuse the source of their information. It is onu of thu paradoxes of human uaturu that those who protest most vigor ously are usually those most intcresteil in tlio very matter against which they pro test. test.President President Cleveland , bachelor , is by virtue of his high office , the first gentle man in the lanu. He was elected to that office by a majority of the people of tins mighty republic , and ho will hold it until his successor qualifies , when ho will step down and out. llo will bu tlio first presi dent who has ever married while in of fice , for the Bachelors who have been there before him have gone through the presidential term unscathed by Cniml's shafts. The lady whom he will marry will bo the mistress of the whitn house for nearly three years , and the "first lady in the land" by virtue of her position. If the American people should allow such an event to pass without thn manifesta tion of cagur curiosity it would show in difference to the welfare and prospucts.of the chief magistrate and unconcern for the public position which hu holds , and would be disappointment to tlio high contracting parties them selves. Marriage is thu most important uvcnt in human life , birth is n necessity which cannot bu controlled by thu Indi vidual and death a debt duu to nature that cannot bo avoided. A great many people would not nave come into this troublesome world if they could help it , antl a great many moro.trpublesomc as it is , would not so out of it if they could avoid it. Marriage , however , is volun tary. All that follows birth loads up to jt. All that proccdes death for good or ill grows out of it. No event , therefore , in life is environed with such interest , and no station in life is so humble that the nuptial ccrumony is not regarded with eagerness and solicitude by those who are rapidly drifting towards it , and with calm satisfaction or concealed sym- Cathy or approhontion by those who have eon there. When the parties to this deeply-important ceremony hold exulted public position the popular curiosity is proportionately cagur and general. In Kuropo a royal marriage , whether of the monarch or thu huir apparent , eclipses all other topics of news , asviis the easn when Queen Victoria married the Prince Consort and Alfonso espoused the Austrian Archduchess , and wuro it given out to. day , and such a thing could no , that Victoria wan about to bestow her royal hand upon somu now nllinity , pub lic interest in thu Irish quoHtion , tlio lish- ory seizures and the Greek blocKudo would bo entirely overshadowed by the nuptial event. Now , this is our first im porhil republican Sarritigo. Peoplu sink all olfunsivo partisanship. They want to know all about it and are oing to know all about it.

THE ROSEBUD SIOUX INDIANS The Recent Disturbance at the Agency Mag nified and Misquoted , AROIH Wright's Determination to Enforce - force Discipline Tlio Noble llctl * Compelled to llustlo Tor Grub. RosKnun Aacxcr , Dak. , May lfl. [ Cor respondence of the HKK. ] There ap peared in the Omaha HKI : of the 7th what purports to bo news from Valen tine , Nob. , which has been copied largely Into the eastern press with such additions as would appear to suit the views of thu different localities without regard to facts , what is represented as "News from Valentine In northern Nebraska of a very serious disturbance which occurred at Uosobml Indian agency in Dakota , n short distance from thu Nobiasku boundary lluu. " The basis of this news from thu "special" correspondent is correct so far as "Major Wright , thn Indian agent , found fault with ono of thu bands of In dians for having located on a tract of land which he considered und declared unlit for cultivation , " and his refusal to give to those people agricultural imple ments and tools did create indignation among them , not because they had usu lor them , but because others were receiv ing them and thuy not. The agent told these Indians thuy had no usu for such tools in that locality , that they could not , and in fact did not intend to usu thorn ; by giving to them \\ould but deprive oth ers of thuir use who were willing , in lo calities where they could and would work and help themselves. All the Indians ot this agency settled on this barren section within u radius of ten or liftuen miles of the agency proper at Iho time of its location. Thu tirst efforts of Agent Wright alter taking charge wcro to induce us manv as possible to remove - move to thu many creek bottoms whcru good land i.s to bo found nnd where they could do something with runiunerativo results. Fully seven-eights of thu popu lation have been Induced to comply , and aru now loonted in various camps from ten to fifty miles distant. Thu remaining onu eighth pursisteuly refusing to movu. have remained where they neither could or would work or help themselves , not withstanding their demands aru moru numerous than the working Indians. Thu aguut's refusal to issue these im- plumuuts and tools to these people did create indignation among thum , and they did resolve not only "not to move , but to demand that the implements and supplies be issued to them without further delay. " These Indians did "march in a body to the agency and make a formal demand ; " but did not accompany the samu with an emphatic threat thatil not complied with "they would soi/.o the implements by force. " Agent Wright consented to lis ten to what they had to say unless they used uncivil or insolent language , in which case he would leave thorn. The demand was for thu implements , and thu reply thu same as before , that they would not bu given to them unless they moved and went to work. When some uncivil remarks wore madu the agent retirednot to his private cilice , but to the open ground outside of his ollicc. Some Indi ans endeavored to detain him , but throw ing thum off and thu Indian policu com ing between , ho loft unmolested. The whole of the Indians ( from forty to fifty ) followed and surrounded the agent in the stoukudc , several shaking hands with him and saying they wore glad to sec he had a "bravo or strong heart , " certainly not indicating that u "bloody light was im minent : " The police wure equal to thu emergency. There was no necessity for cool-headed Indians with some white men interceding , nor wore there any such. There being no light tliuro was none to renew. The agunt was not compelled to issue an order turning over the imple ments , neither were tliuy taken forcible possession of by thu Indians , nor did the agent issue thorn , but persisted in his re fusal. No fuast was asked for to celebrate a victory not won , nor was any sugar or other provisions given. It certainly would not have been if aaked. No other Indians except those living on this bar ren section were interested or engaged in this raid. Crow Dog , the murderer of old Chief Spotted Tail , claimed them as his band or his people and has had much to do with their refusal to work or move and their being incited to insubordination. Two days after tlu-sn same Indians re turned to tlio agunoy , expressed rugrot for their conduct , asked to shako hands with the agent , and promised to comply with his wishes , move away from the worthless section and go to work , which many have done anil are now plowing and planting. This does not indicate that they yet entertain bitter feelings against Major Wright. It would not , however , bo a matter of surprise if KOIIIO still entertain such feelings at tlio thought that thu agunt intends to compel thum to wt rk , if possible to accomplish it in any way , even to the suspension of rations , in accordance with instructions from tlm department nnd say to tlio Indians that the "timu has como when they must work to help themselves or starvo.1 It would bo no wonder that uneasiness would bu caused among the settlers along the northern frontier of Nobsasku if suoh statements as m.idii in the papers wore true , and they knew it. It is doubt ful if they know anything of their danger till they read it sonio tuu days after in the newspapers. There are not to exceed 10,000 Sioux In- diiuiK at the Hosebud and Pine Uidgo agencies , j UN tend of 28,000 as .stated. Crow Dog , who killed the old Chief Spotted iTail , is u disturbing factor at this agency since his return trom incar ceration at Deadwood. He should not have beun allowed to return hero. Thu attention given him while at Deadwood , and his return have madu him , in his own estimation , a man of importance. So long as ho uses his infiucncu with "his people" for bad ho will continue to bo a troublesome spirit and should bo re moved. It may be well to have two military posU Fort Niobrara ami Fort Kobmson [ thu former thirty miles distant , not sixty as stated ) for moral protection , which should not be despised. It Is doubtful if cither will ever bo called upon fur any more elfeutlvu sarviuo in connection with thc4u huluus , no mutter if enlarged or not. not.Tho Itosubiid ngonoy Indians , notwith standing the statement to tlio contrary , aru nnd have been favorable to peace ami quiet , a largo portion inclined to work anil help ( liuinsplves , No 8,101 people anywiiero nan bo found more peaceable and trautnhlc.
