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

Give jour children a foreign paper

and how can you expect thorn to bo

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.

fied to obsorvo the hearty spirit of com

whs not utcro pride in numbers, hut

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

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.
