When Hon. J. S. Woodruff , who In In
thu city on Ills wny to Washington , reaches
the national capital there will bo few In the
camp of thu commission which put In nearly
three months last summer In Trnmlng a
treaty with Shosliono and Arapnhoo Indians.
Mr. Woodruff was chairman of the coin-
mlision , but was not nblo to agree with the
two otlior raombors on the terms of the
treaty , and has a minority report to mike ,
which will probably caiiso trouble , und will ,
ct least , throw some light upon the manner
In which government commissions sometimes
sacrillco the Interests of the 1 > ooplo
for the sake of a. chance to
use up the government appropria
tion. Mr. Woodruff simply charges
that the treaty framed by the major
ity of the commission means the dvlnpof
fOOO.OOO to the Indians for nbont > i million
ocio3 of as poor land as over laid out of doors ;
land , that he says , would bo absolutely
worthless for settlers for whoso bcncllt the
treaty was nought to Do mado.

"Tho ontlro work of the commission , " said
Mr. Woodruff , "was simply an illustration of
the foolishness of appointing for such duties
man who nro totally unuuallllcd , for t no work.
When the matter of appointing the commis
sion first came up the people of Fremont
county , Wyoming , endorsed rno for n place on
the commhslon. You see ttio object of tlio
commission was to malio n treaty with the
Shoshone and Arapuhoo Indian ; , by
whiQb about half of tholr res
ervation , which comprises about 1,500-
OCO acres of land In Fremont county ,
should bo thrown open for settlement. I did
not want the place , although no man in
Wyomiutf has the interests of the state inoro
at heart than I have ; but the people Insisted
upon recommending me , and their wishes
were msdo known to- Senator Cnroy , who
endorsed mo to Secretary Noble for the
plnco. The secretary refused to name any
man In Wyonnnir , saying that disinterested
parties should constitute the commission.
"This was Just what I was afraid of , so I
wrote Senator Carov a lottor. 1 never wont
to school n day in my llfo , so It was
n very difficult Joi ) for mo to write
much of a letter , hut 1 put In nn on tire night
on this ono , and I jrucss I did pretty well. I
told Senator Carey that Wyoming had too
much at stal < o lo allow such an Important
matter to po Into the hands of men who knew
nothing about Wyoming and still loss about
Indians. I showed the foolishness and
danger of suoh : i stop , and put It in pretty
strong language. Senator ( Jnroy turned the
letter over to secretary Noble , and in a few
days came my appointment as chairman of
the commission.
Ignorant of Indian AlTiilr.3.
"Tho other members of the commission
were C. H. Merrillat , a young \N ashlngton
newspaper man , and J. h , Crigham of Ohio ,
and no two ever lived who knew loss about
Indians than 11103Mr. . Brlghnm , I will say ,
however , didn't pretend to know anything of
thom , butMerrlllut know enough for the two.
Ho was ono of those follows who have roman-
tlo ideas about the noble roil men and wanted
to treat them as trusting children and all
that. Well , I have lived among Indians all
tny lifo , huvo fought , them and mot them
under all conditions , and I soon found out
Mint the Mcriillnt end of the commission
would make a muss of tho- business if
possiolo.
"At first Morillat and Brigham did not
nppoar to lake much interest in the matter.
They played lawn tennis and read thrilling
stories of border life , while 1 was arranging
for n council botwcon the two tribes. I
went at the work In oaincst , and explained
to the other members my plan for u treaty ,
and they concurred In It after wo had talked
It all over. I propossd to buy about 800,000
aores of the reservation , tno purchnsn to
Include about a half million acres
of good tillable land aud the
rest very line grazing country. This
would leave the Indians about 600,000 acros.
800,000 acres moro than the government es
timated they would need. For this I pro
posed the government should pay the In
dians $ TOOOOJ and In this payment I had a
plan for the benefit of both the Indians und
the stato. I proposed to have the money
divided into funds , a school fund , a road
fund , an irrigation lund and other develop
ment funds. The money was not to go to the
Indians for eight years , the interest on the
In nils to bo usocl in the meantime for the de
velopment of that portion of the reservation
still belonging to the Indians.
Knlinllcd ttio Indians.
' 'My plan was endorsed by Messrs. Mor-
rlllnt , and lirlgham , and a council was called
at Shoshnno agency on August ! . ' , nftor the
commission had boon on ttio ground only a
llttlo moro than n weclc. I explained to tbo
Indians what wo proposed to do. I talked to
them for four hours , going into the minutest
details as to the manner in which the money
from tholr lands was to boused In developing
the part still reserved bv thorn. When I was
through talking old Chief Washkao , the
brainiest Indian in Wyoming , got up ana
shook my hand and said the treaty was good
and that ho would sign It. I have known
him for ycais and ho had confidence In what
I had told him.
"Well , it looked then as though the com
mission's work was accomplished , but young
Mr. Morrillat kicked the fat Into the fire , ilo
accused mo of having taken an undue nd-
vnntago of him and of having incorporated a'
lot of things in the treaty that ho did not
undoistnnd. I am not much of n diplomat
and I wont after film and abused him ilka n
pickpocket. I had simply laid bolero the
Indians n treaty which the members of the
commission hud discuisod in all Its bearings
and had agreed upon. I told him In pretty
vigorous ICnglish what 1 thought of his
action in the matter , and then ha lot the cut
out of the bag.
AVnntcil to UHCJ Up the Appropriation.
"Tho young fellow had the gall to confess
that his chief reason for opposing my plan of
treaty was that the appropriation had not
been used up , and ho couldn't think of going
homo ns long as the government paid his
bills , You see the commissioners weru al
lowed $10 a day each and other expenses ,
which made It nulto an object for the young
man to prolong his Job. Ho said ft was the
usual thing for congiossloiml 'commissions
to stay In the Hold as long as th. nppropla-
tlou held out , and ho did : . ' . propose to estab
lish a bad precedent by going homo with a
balunco In the fund appropriated for the
work of the commission. Ho said , too , that
bo would not go back without a treaty that
would bo another had precedent to establish
but ho didn't wont , to sign ono in such a
hurry , and Mr. Hriglmm tacitly agreed with
film.
film."Why that young diplomat , Mernllat ,
used to spend hours tolling mo how ho would
Invest the money bo was going to get from
the government H3 his share of the comiuib-
elon's worlc. Ho pnd ! much moro attention
to building air castles than ho did to the work
of the commission. Ho had nerve enough
too to toll mo that ho know ho had the best
of men as ho was n representative of the
Associated 1'ross and could fill the noivs-
papers of the country with matter endorsing
the work of the commission and ho has
Binco done it to tuo quoon's tasto.
Those old Indians out there nro pretty
shrewd cltUonsaiid had good advisors among
thu whlto men who wcro opposed to opening
the leservntlon. The Arapnhoos very gen
erally signed the proposed treaty without
much hesitancy , but the Shoahoiuis soon
found out that they could got any kind of n
treaty they wanted by simply delaying the
game , aud they proceeded to do U.
After the commission bud boon hi the Hold
about sixty days it was found that the appro
priation for the oxpor.bo of the work was
about exhausted and something had to bo
done , and that promptly , Ttiat was where
Mr , Morrillat shone. His anxiety for a
treaty convinced tbo Indians that they could
dictate the terras of tbo agreement ana they
Hio I ml hum the DcHt or It.
"Tho upshot of tbo whole business was
that Mcrrlllnt and Ilrlghatn were finally coin-
polled to si n n treaty which givo-J the In
dians all thn best of It. They agreed to pay
the She * > tioncit and Anpnhoos flXW.OOO for
about 1,000,000 acres of land that is abso
lutely worthless , can not bo tuod for any pur
pose , while the Indians ro orvo about ROO.OOO
acres of us good farming land as the westcnn
hhow. Mr , Mcrrillathns Kept his promise
about supplying the papers of the country
with good reports of the commission's ' work.
Ho has pictured n land jlowlng with milk and
honey which will bo open to settlers i a re
sult of the splendid treaty framed by the
commission.
"I am going to Washington to present n
minority rcnort on that work for several
reasons. Ono is that I nm not going to sanc
tion the squandoilng of $1100,000 , even If It
docs belong to the government ; aud another
Is to protect settlers who would otherwise
rush to that country on the strength of the
reports of Mr. Alerrllnt in cnso his one-sldod
treaty Is adopted , and the sagebrush and
cactus tract opened for settlement. Wyom
ing Is ono of the grandest states in the union ,
and only wants n fair show to become ono of
the greatest. I will use ovety moans In my
power to prevent glviim the state a black-eye
by ratifying such a treaty unit asking set
tlers to mnko tholr homes In such an undo-
slrablo part of the state. "
Mr. woodruff was a member of the last
Wyoming senate , and Is ono of the big sheep
raisers of the state. Ho U on his way east
to sell some bonds voted recently by Fre

about tbo first of the year with his protest

"jljUMMl.NG. "
Dr. Ilnrsha TalUH of n Fail ami Its
Possibly Harmful Ilemiltq.
On account of the hard rain which sot in
about 7 o'clock last evening there was a very
small audinnce at the First Presbyterian
church to listen to Hov. Dr. Harsha's ser
mon on "Slumming. "
The particular kind of slumming the doc-
lor talked about was tbo fad of n largo num
ber of society and church people who visit
the poor nnd lowly out of moro curiosity and
not with the thought or desire
to benefit them either finan
cially or religiously. "I think , "
said the speaker , "that every young woman
should have a practical education in kitchen
work and nursing. There is nothing moro
valuable in real charitable work than good
nursing for the sick. During the recent ill
ness of Captain Hattie Smith of the Salva
tion army I noticed with plcasuro the daily
attendance at her bedside of a wealthy and
estimable young lady , who helped nurse the
poor woman bud ? to lifo.
"I don't believe in this fad of tnrusting
one's self into the lowly homo of nn unfortu
nate and then going back to a handsome
drawing room and relating experiences.
Such work can hardly bo called
charity. It sTiould bo called curiosity.
Such action on the part of the rich only
increases the biuivcl cf the debased and
wretched against the wealthy , and does no
good , but rather harm. When you go into a
poor person's homo and look aroucd out of
mere curiosity , oven If your visit is dis
guised by the cloak of charitv , it only
intensifies the hatred of the fallen for the
aristocrats. The way to approach such people -
plo is hi a true gontlemanfy and womanly
way , and give them to understand that you
rcaluo their wants and recognize their rights.
"Truo charity is often interfered with by
those who have this slumming fad and wish
to pose before their church and the world as
very charitable peoplo. There is nothing
moro beautiful than the visit of the rich to
thu.poor in the right manner , when the heart
of the visitor is sincere nnd the intention to
do coed is manifest.
"In my opinion the oest way to roach the
lower class of people is to go rlsht down and
live among them. Make yourselves a
standard for their guidance , give them u bea
con to steer their ship by. "
Dr. Ilarsha then spoke of the good the
Salvation army sisters had done by living
richt amongst the lowly , and said that the
lowest could bo raised gradually by a con
tinued good example.
A J'rovo. ti\e for Croup.
Wo want ovcry mother to know that croup
can bo prevented. True croup never appears
without , a warning. The llrst symptom is
hoarseness : then the child appears to have
tHkon a cold or n cold may have accompanied
the hoarseness from the start. After that , a
peculiar rough cough 1 developed , which is
followed by the cro.ip. The tlrno to act is
when the child first becomes hoarse ; a few
doses of Chamberlain's Cough Homody will
prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough
lias appeared the disease may bo prevented
by using this remedy as directed. It has
never boon known to fall. 15 ! cent , 50 cent

NOT YET OUT OF POLITICS ,
Iowa's Prohibition Qitoi'lon Again Boicg
Disousssd ,
DEMOCRATS CANNOT AG1EE ON A BILL.
They Pro for to Keep the Issue la Its
Present , Condition to Secure
the Support of homo
Itcpiililloans.
DM MOIST : ' , In. , Dt c. 13 ( Special to Tuc
Hcn.1 I'ublio Interest In the prohibition
question has been revived a number of times
the past week by meetings of various organ
izations concerned In Its settlement In Iowa.
On Tuesday n number of loading democrats
of the state hold a conference at the Savory
hotel. Among them were Senator Holler ot
Harrison county. Dodge of Des Molnos
county , Dontof Plymouth , Schmidt of Scott ,
Editor Ham of Dubuque , Colonel Clark of
Cedar Huplds , Chairman Kutlcn of the State
Central committee , IJo s Ed. Hunter ,
and lust but not least Governor IJolos. The
conference lasted from noon till nearly mid
night. It was called for the purpose of uo-
cluing If possible upon some plan of pro-
cod tire on the temperance question In ttic
legislature. As the discussion waxed warm
It was developed that these great loaders
were not n unit upon the question. Thu
governor and Colonel Clark were In laver of
passing any sort of licence mc.isuro which
could bo forced through both houses , using
Senator Schmidt's bill ot last session as a
basis , which provides for a fee of not loss
than ? . )00 oer annum , with stub additional
sums as the municipality may fix. Other
features are that two-fifths of the
electors may petition the city council und they
shall submit to the voters whether or not
liquors shall bo sold , no other question being
voted on , and such election not to bo held
oltcner than once In two years. If license
carries it will require thn petition of at
least ten resident freeholders to tbo dis
trict court , showing the applicant to be of
respectable character , before a license shall
issue.
Five hundred dollars must go into the
county treasury , nnd the additional , it any ,
into the municipality. No person shall be
licensed to sell liquor ur.loss ho gives n bond
of f5,000 , payable to the county , with at
least two sureties , conditioned that ho will
not violate any of the provisions of the law ,
and bo subject to suit by any person who
may bo injured by reason of the licensed
person violating any of the provisions of
this act No license shall ho granted for
moro than ono year , and the place whcro the
liquor is to bo sold and the license itself nro
not transferable.
May lie llcvokeil.
The court can revoke a license upon proof
that the person holding the license has boon
convicted of a second violation of tbo law.
Any person violating the law by selling
liquors to minors , intoxicated persons , habit
ual drunkards or insane or idiotic persons
shall bo punished by a duo of not to exceed
$100 or Imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days , or by both line and Imprisonment. A
minor who falsely represents his ago shall bo
subject to like punishment.
The district court may crant permits to
druggists to soil llnuor for medicinal.
mechanical and chomiciil purposes exclusively
upon payment ot all expenses nnd costs relat
ing to the issuance of such permit and upon
the compliance of all the provisions contained
in this act , except that no license fee or bond
shall be required , and such druggist * shall bo
subject to nil the requirements und all the
panultios contained in this act.
If any law is enacted at this legislature , it
will bo upon this basis , except that the fee
muv bo raised lo $750 or * 1OUO. bcn.uor '
Schmidt was not willing to go beyond his '
measure , saving that was as far as
his constituents would permit him to go.
Other members of the conclave were not
willing nor anxious for any chiumo in the
prnsontlaw , choosing rather to light future
campaigns on the basis of the pisttwo , by
using anti-prohibition republicans as a lover
by which to hoist democrats into power ; so
nothing w.is accomplished , nnd it was de
cided to wait awhile and see what move the
republicans were likely to make.
l'roiilitlonistnotiv ! ; .
On f.ho same day the third party prohi
bitionists hold n meeting , decided to establish
permanent headquarters here and invited all
prohibitionists regardless of politics on other
questions to join them in n crusudo against
the saloon. Leaders of the State Temperance
nllianco also held a meeting last
week nnd issued an address to the
people urging the formation of prohibition
clubs and a general movement all along the |
line. So the prohibition question in Iowa is
not yet out of politics , but bids fair to be
come moro prominent than ever. The repub
licans , however , have about cornn to the con
clusion that the democrats , having both the
senate nnd the governor , should take the In
itiative in the matter and bear Iho brunt of
any legislation that may ensue.
