Omaha, Neb. Oct 3. About three months
ago it was announced that the Indians at Red
Cloud agency would be moved to a new reser
vation, and orders for transfer have been con
stantly expected ever since, but have not yet
been received. The Indians are pleased with
tbe new location, though reports to tbe con
trary have been circulating, and have been
impatiently awaiting orders for removal, but
affairs have dragged tediously along until the
Indians have become thoroughly disgusted with
the slow way ef doing business, and last week,
after receiving their rations, they all gath
ered up their traps, and without the assistance
of agent or government authorities, struck
out across lots for the new reserve. There

Greenback Redemption Fnnd.
Washington, Oct 3. Receipt of bank
notes at the treasury to-day for redemption
are only 100,000, the smallest amount ever
received in one day. Under the law of July
28th, requiring national banks to keep with
the treasury a sum of greenbacks equal to 5
per cent, of their circulation for redemption
of their notes, nearly $15,000,000 in green
backs will be locked up in the vaults of the
treasury for the redemption of such notes, .
but should the amount presented for redemp
tion continue to be small, and it is estimated
that it will decrease daily, there will be no
demand on the greenback redemption fund
and it must remain idle in the treasury.
