Tun tfunditv law advocates will mako an effort to lmvo tho Sunday law enacted by the incoming legislature, Tub Sioux Indians being on tho verge of starvation it is no wonder that they are dissatisfied and thirsting for tho blood of tho whites. Tho present ndministratson has curtailed their ra tions to such an extent that it is impos siblo for them to Mibsist. It is eheiip- cr to feed these hosliles than to wage war nguinsi them. Gi;ou(ii: Washington, thoiiret presi dent of the United States, nover saw a steamboat. John Adams, (he second President of tho United States, never Baw a railroad. Androw Jacluon, tho seventh President, know nothing of tho telegraph. Abraham Lincoln, tho sixteenth J'retidonl, nover dreamed of such n tiling as tho telrphouo. And very likely the march of invention will develop many novelties in tho future about which even President Harrison will die uninformed. Idaho has tho distinction of having elected three United States senators at one time, Bays tho East Oregonian. The term of ono of these senators ox pircs at tho close of the prcsontfiossion of congress. This will leavo two in office, Fred T. Dubois filling tho va cancy, he having been elected for tho long term. In choosing their scats when they roacli Washington deter mines whother McConnoll or Shoup is to retire. Tho legislature of Idaho adopted quito a neat way out of tho difficulty. It is now said that McKay, the farm er who was elected by tho Fannors' Alliance to a judgeship in southern Kansas, will not attend a law schtfol, but will attend different courts be tween now and January to see how they do things. Ho is probably a son of tho man who learned to swim with out going into tho water, lie spread hiniholf on his holly on a table with a basin of water before him in which was a frog, then went through tho mo tions with his legs and arms that the frog did in swimming. Union county's reputation as a pro ducer of farm products and live stock is second to nono in tho State. Not withstanding this fuel, ham, lard, but ter, eggs etc., aro imported from tho east and our neighbor counties in large quantities, and at times aro not to bo procured at any price. When our farmers learn that thero is more money in raising these commodities at on half their present selling price, than thore is in raising wheat at Jf and 50 cents a bushel thou will an ora of prosperity dawn upon Ilium. Wouk has been suspended on tho Puget Sound branch of the Union Pa cific, and about throe thousand men and ono thousand teams have boon discharged. Tho work was commenced last spring and so far about $1,1)00,000 have been expended in making survoys, clearing right of way and grading, Many believe that work will bo resumed in the spring but it is the supposition among prominent railroad mun that tho recent intorosts acquired by Jay Gould and his friends in western rail roads will put them all upon terms of friendship and that the building of the proposed extension, which nearly par allels the Northurn Paeitio track be tweon Portland and Taconm, will now bo unnecessary. Tin: local nowspaper should bo found in every home, says tho Jolferson Ho viow. No child should grow up in ignorance who can bo taught to ap preciate tho homo papor. It is tho stepping btouo of intelligence in all those matters not learned in books. Give jour children a foreign paper which contains not ono word about any person, placo or thing which thoy over saw, or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect thorn to bo interested? Hut let them tako tho homo papor and read of por6onu whom thoy meet, and of whom thoy aro familiar and soon an intorost is awa kened which incretuoa will) every ar rival of tho local papor. Thiu a hnbit of rending in formed, and tum child" ren will read tho pnpur all their llvua mid become intelligent men and wom en, ft credit to their parent, utronj in their knowledge of the woild n it i today. Amos K .Tonus. Tun State legislature will convene on tho first Monday in January. It will bo one of tho most important meetings of this august body since tho admission of our Stalo into tho Union. Among the matters that will come up for consideration are the assessment law, tho mortgage tax and usury laws, the Australian ballot system, the elec tion of a United States sonator, and tho question as to tho advisability of making a liberal appropriation for thp World's fair committee. Our repre sentatives have been sounding the feelings of their constituents and the citizens of Union county in general in order to ascertain how they stand on most or these questions and Tiik Scout belioves that their voles will bo cast for the best interests of the coun" ty at large. Thoy aro not expected to plcaso everybody and should they go below imbued with that idea they will certainly meet with failure. All that we ask of our honorable representa tives is an honest and impartial con sideration of Uichc important matters and a vote in accordance with tho con clusions at which tln-y may arrive. TIIH J)KAI INDIAN. In the death of Sitting Bull (ho peo ple of tho United States and especially those of" North and South Dakota have cause for great rejoicing. Not know ing at what moment this treacherous villian would become dissatisfied with his treatment by tho government, thoy stood in constant fear lost ho should commence hostilities and commit de predations against tho lives and prop erty of thorn and thoir children. Thus, a great barrier to tho settlement of that part of our 'country is removed and hereafter tho good settlors of that section may retire to their beds with out fear of molestation from tho bad Indian or his tribe; their dreams of scoing, standing by their bedside, a hos tile redman, bedecked with paint and feathers, with tomahawk in hand ready to add ono more scalp to tho number on his belt, aro now much less liable to become solemn realizations. A gen eral feeling of satisfaction exists among the people, who reside near Sitting Bull's reservation, over his sudden and unexpected domise. Following is a shoit biographical sketch of this terror to tho whites : Sitting Bull was born about 18117. Ho was tho principal chief of tho Da kota Sioux, who wero driven from thoir reservation in tho Black Hills by min ors in 1870 and took up arms against tho whites and friendly Indians, refus ing to be transported to tho Indian ter ritory. In Juno, 1S70, they defeated and massacred General Georgo A. Cus ter's advance party of General "Alfred H. Terry's column, which was front against them on Little Big Horn river, and wero pursued northward by Gen oral Terry. While Sitting Bull did not tako an activo lighting part in this massacre, tho actual commander of tho fighting Indian forces boing Chief Crazy Horse, ho was in his tent at the time and organized and contrived tho whole campaign. Sitting Bull, witli a part of his band, made his cheapo into British territory, and through tho me diation of Dominion olftcials, surren dered on a promiso of pardon, in ISS0. Since that timo ho has lived on tho Sioux reservation in Indian territory. When tho Messiah erazo first broke out it was not thought that Sitting Bull was mixed up i t, but subsequent ovents proved that tho old follow was at tlie bottom of tho whole atlair. After the troops arrived about Pino Kidgo and Ivosobml agencies, Sitting Bull moved his oanip further away and las poii6tcntly reiu-od to meet tho agents or army ollicers, with tho ex ception of one council hold with Agent McLaughlin, at which no satisfactory answers could bo obtained from him. Orders wore issued for his arrest a fow weeks ago, but tho ordors wore coun termanded at the time of Buffalo Bill's visit. Ho was killed, while engaged in a deadly encounter with tho Indian polico, on tho 15th inst. THE a. A. li. An Appoal From the Coaimandor-ln-CUlef to lta Members. Rutland, Vt.. Oct. 1, 1S00. CoMltADKS : Since buing elected Couunander-in- Chief 1 have visited ten Departments, six of which uro west of tho Missouri river, and have been more than grati fied to obsorvo the hearty spirit of com radeship ovorywhoro prevailing, and tho growing pride in and devotion to our noble order. The thought Miomod bo in ovory mind and tho words on try lip that tho Grand Army of tho Itwnnblio thould ho mado to round up oi)9 half million ooinnuloH this year, i he iuBpirtUion of this thought whs not utcro pride in numbers, hut (lie advantage of memberakip to indi vidual character, mul tho advantago Iof numbers in increasing the potency of tho order in its lofty work of Fra I ternity, Charity and Loyalty. It is on the ground of individual and public benefit that it becomes our duty to in create our membership. There arc yet several hundred thousand worthy veterans who served bravely with us on land or sea, not yet with us in this organization. If we do not bring in fifty thousand or more of them this year the fault will bo our own. This means an addition of about ton to ev ery hundred. Who doubts but this can bo easily done? What comrade will fail to do his part? What Post will hold back? Lot all department Commanders nt onco tako the leader ship and direction in this work in their reapectivo Departments. I have seen enough to know that they will find cordial and enthusiastic roaponsc, both from individuals and Posts. This is tho best season of the year for the re cruiting service to be made effective and successful. It should not pass without our achieving lcsults as grand as our possibilities are great.
