.tnont on the 15th lost. An allotment of ICO

entry man has paid 12.50 for each acre taken

jtnaln In the United States until the full
Amount has boon paid by tbo entry mno or
ills legal representative. The balance left
jpftor tbo Indians made their selections Is es
timated at 700,000 , or about 4,000 claims of
100 acres each. This area added to tbo
Sioux lands thrown open a year neo , makes
ft total of 2,500,000 acres taken from the auo-
rlelnt-s and given to while settlers.
HcJuctlou of reservations Is tno order of
the day throughout the west. The advance

iquuro acres , or 4 , 75 square miles nearly
a large as Connecticut , four times larger
than Hbodo Island , and nbout one-tenth as
JarRO as Pennsylvania. This vast territory
is inhabited by less than l.GOO people , accord
ing to the cniiBUs of IbVK ) , of whom Gs5 are
juntos over IS years old.
Tbo population comprises the remnants of
eight tribes , viz , the Colvillcs , L.aUcs , OUaoo-

V > rior to the creation of tbo reservation ,
pwiiii ? to the zealous ministrations of the
{ Jesuits , who established a mission near old
Fort Colvillo in the thirties , the Indians
pave attained a flocroo of intelligence and
civilisation far above the average standard ,
ftnd tbo majority of thoin are incllnoa to iti-
OUitry and thrift. But , after all , and not-
jwitlistnndlnR the restraints and discipline of
Vho Jesuit falters , they are Indians.
. , A little moro lhan half the reserve , or 1-
fiOU.OOO acres , was coded to the government
last year. For this the covornmont agrees to

The wcsUrn oortlon of the reservation is n

Of the laud is araulo , although prooably riot

The most valuable of all tbo resources of
tbo reservation lies In the mineral deposits ,
bf which there is an apparently inoxh&ustl-
bio supply. Notwithstanding prohibitory
laws and the strict surveillance of tbo Indian
police , numerous prospectors have sought
the interior , thorougbly investigated nnd

fin view of the o conditions the Now York
Bun suggests a plan by which the problem
may bo"solved. . It is suggested thai the
eastern third of Utah bo Hddnd to Colorado

people to Nevada's population. Tno Gcntilo

problem would bo disposed of , tbo people
secure state rights , Ulah would disappear
from Iho map ana Nevada become respoclablo

' For New Mexico and Arizona It is pro
fiosud that they scould bo united , or rather
ruunlKd , for admission to the union. The
former was organized as a territory in ISM
linuUiuirous > ly with Utah ; hut Arizona was
not organized until ISO. ) . Tbo population of
Nexv Mnxlco in 1SPO was lf > 3r , > M. and that of
Arizona was only 59,020. making togelhor

pbowmg for a single now stnto.
Hut at this point comes in a suggested rcc
tulcaliori of existing stnto and lorritorial
lines. Taking Innd surface only , Iho area of
Colorado is UKiCI5 squnro miles ; that of Nevada
vada , 10'J,7-IO ; that ol Utah , s2l'.K ) ; that of
Arizona , 112tt30 : that of Now Mexico. 12
400 all of them very mountainous and arid
and dependent on irrigation for crops. Of
course u stale formed of Iho two laltbr com
bined would bo much larger than cither Nevada
vada or Colorado as increased by a portion of
Utah.
Il Is proposed thnt tbo eastern line of
Colorado should bo emended southward
Across the old public land strip called No
Man's Lane , and Is now a part of Oklahoma ,
&nd than theouthorn boundary of Colorado
should bo formed by pursuing westward the
outborn boundary ot tbo pabllo land strip
&s fur as the Colorado rivor. The irregular
northwestern corner of .Arizona on the
further sldo of Colorado would then go lo
Htbo port of Utah added lo Nevada , the Col
urudo forming ibo boundary at thai point.
The simpler elements of Iho plan , there

Hloctrlclty on the Ilntnp.iRC.
On the night of the 10th Instant , xvhllo the
municipal campaign wan at Us height in
Uutto , Moat. , ibo air xvas hoavlly charged
xvlth electricity , producing surprising and
sensational situations. Every metallic tub-
stance seemed to bo charged to the nozzle
nnd numerous shocking exhibitions resullod.
Streaks of blue flame shot along tbo electric
wires. A llx-ery stable on tbo corner of
Galena nnd Main street * furnisbod tbo
greatest excitement. The electric current
not ouly coursed Ibrough Iho entire big
building , but charged the sldoxvalk lo such
an extent thai it wa absolutely dangerous
for people to walk on it. This fact was fint
discovered by Ofllcor Hallahan , who xvas
parading his boat as usual about 3 o'clock ,
and when right In front of the livery stable
ho received a shock that doubled bis knee up
and caused him to jump from the
sidewalk as though it bad bocn rod
hot. An Instant later the xvholo side of the
building gave out a bluish white light , as
though It were on fire , but it only lasted fern
n second. Everybodx- the vicinity noticed
the weird illumination nnd Iho excitement
became general. Ofllcers Walsh and Cant-
xvoll appeared on the scene nnd JoluodOfllcer
Hallahan and the throe tried to ferrcl oui
Iho mystery. No fallen wire could bo found ,
hoxvovor , und this made the affair moro mys
terious than over. In searching for a wire
Officer Hnllahan happened to louch Ihe
building xvitb his hand and xvas given n
shocit which throw him nearly across the
sidewalk. Ho started to telephone for an
clcclrlcian , but bad hardly pul his fool on the
sidewalk before ho received another severe
shock and xvns compelled to retreat. Ono
of the men started for the street , but was
glad to go back into Iho building to escape
the curronl lhal xvas clving everybody Iho
shivers and sending the cold chills down
Iheir backs. A dog started out , but no
sooner had Iho currenl touched him than ho
omitted some of the most blood-curdling
howls nnd xvns about to give up the ghosl
xvhcn ho xvas dragged back into tbo saloon.
Tbo dog was so crazed by Iho curronl Ihal
ho bit his master savagely in the hand as ho
xx-as being pulled off Iho walk. This slalo of
affairs continued for some tlmo amid Iho
greatest excitement , but the current linally
nbated and it xvas possible to oncomoio cross
tuo sidewalk or touch Iho building without
receiving a shock in return. Tbo xvuy in
which the curronl was transmitted to the
building nnd from there to the sidoxvalk is a
mystery xvhich cannot bo explained oven by
electricians.

The recent jugglery of coal rates on the
western divisions of the Union Pacific is
vigorously denounced by the local press.
The raise in freight rales and rcduclion in
no price of company coal at Iho mines ,
virtually shuts out private mine owners
from distant markets , just us the company
dosignod. The Hock Springs Independent
says private mine owners bad an interview
with Superintendent Meeonth , and xvore
given the oold shoulder. He charged all the
private operators xvith culling prices. They
denied il and offered lo pay Iho expense of
an investigation , but Moeaih refused to
entertain tbo proposition.Vo think , "
says Ibe Independent , "il is very bad policy
for Iho Union Pacific lo arouse the antngon-
is.n of ino communities throuRb which it
passes.The result is a ficht , which rosulls
n such anil-railroad legislalion ns xvas
alely passed in Kansas and Nebrnslia. Il
will bo Iho same in Wyoming. II is already
proposed to elecl n loglslnluro which xvill
ruslrict the poxvors of Iho road , and such
legislation is 100 often carried to an extreme.
\Vo believe the head officials of the company
do not know what Mogoath is doing , or
realize tbo ultimate consequence : of his
arbitrary aelious oa Iho prosperity of the

The story of the goosn that luld tbo golden
eggs may hnvo boon a good anecdote in the
good old times betoro the great west was
discovered , assorts the Now York Sun , but a
story from Butlo , Mont. , overtops it , A fexv
days ago , J. A. McConville , who lives in
Montana street , killed ono of his chickens
for dinner and was surprised to find n quan-
lily of cold nuggets in ils crop and gizzard.
Having Ihirty-ODO chickens tnat had
scratched In the same patch , he began post
mortem prospecting on them. In each
chicken he found nuggets , and the total
quanllly ffolhered had a cash value of J3S7.
Tbo gold xvas cold lo Iho Slate National
bank and pronounced IS carat fine. Mr. Mc-
Convillo bought fifty chickens and turned
thorn out to do scratch mining on tbo gold
fields surrounding his hen coop. After four
days ho killed ono chicken and mined $3
xvortb of gold from its crop.

century ago the New Hampshire farmers took

they had a touch of rheumatism. Today the
name of

combined supremely by nature with other sub
stances that act beneficially upon the system. The
large amount of Lithium in this water will clear the
blood of uric acid , and cure all diseases which uric
acid causes.
Nearly a million bottles a month , of this finest of
Table Waters , is sold. It is sold to people of
wealth , culture and education. They are not easily
deceived. If the water was not good would they
buy in sifch quantities ?
