That is the area of the tract of land to
be purchased from the Sioux Indians for
$14,000,000, in pursuance of the agreement
Just reached by them with the Foster Com
mission. This splendid region, fertile and
veil watered, is soon to be opened to set
tlers under the public land laws of the U.
S.
The area of the Sioux reservation thus
made available is nearly that of Western
Pennsylvania, or about two and a half
times that of New Jersey. As th,i Indians
will have plenty of land left for tho pur
pose of giving them holdings in severalty,
which is the best method ot disposing of
them, there is nothing in the result to dis
please philanthropic friends of the Red
Man except the commentary on our past
implied by Chief GALL'S professed reason
for aiguing the agreement—his fear that if
he did not do so the white man would
take the lands for nothing.

FEW persons have stood by the road of a
locomotive as it hissed and hummed under
a full head of steam without being im
pressed with the tremendous power pent
up under its ribs of steel. In watching it
as it starts grandly off in obedience to the
hand of the engineer, dragging after it the
long line of cars, one can but wonder
what the monster would do if it should for
a time get beyond control of the puny
mortal who bits as its master. An engi
neer on the Reading R. R. had an oppor
tumty to discover just what a locomotive
would do under such circumstances. In
palling out of the yard and away from the
train he discovered that the mechanism
working the throttle would not operate
and the engine started up the road ai a
furious pace. All efforts to shut oil steam
proving unavailing, the brave engineer en
deavored to avoid a collision by climbing
to the front of the engine uud dropping an
irou bar on the track for the purpose of
derailing the monster. His attempt failed,
and in a few minutes the engine crashed
into the front of an approaching passeuger
train. The plucky engineer and his fire
man escapod without serious injuries.
Numerous passengers were hurt, but none

TIIE GREAT REUNION.
Cold ami cloudy was the day. but warm
and bright was the reception given by the
citizens of Butler to the survivors of the
13th, 102 d, 134 th and 137 th regiments of
the Pennsylvania volunteers.
The town was gaily decorated, and the
streets were crowded at an early hour.
Co. H. of the 102 d was the first to form
in front of the Court House, and led by
Capt. Storey and Lieut. Eastman, and the
G. A. K. band marched to the West Penn.

Jefferson and McKe&n streets; the \ eteran
Legion, the G. A. R. Post, the military
company,the hose companies, the Orphans'
Home children and Gen. Reed and his
staff took positions along Jefferson and Mc-
Kean streets.
The Shenango train came in on time
crowded with people, but both the 'West
Penn and P. A V. trains were behind time
and did not arrive till after 11 o'clock. But
after a long wait the West Penn came in
with six coaches and all crowded, who dis
embarked to the tune of "When Johnny
came marching Home."
The soldiers formed in line, Col. Lyon
and Capt. Duvall were provided with
horses, the ladies with carriages, and the
procession marched up Jefferson street to
the intersection of McKcan. Here the del
egation from the P. A W. were met and

and staff leading, followed by the G. A. R.
band, members of the 13th, 102 d, 134 th and
137 th. Veteran Legion, G. A. R. Post,
Home children, Gcrmania band and hose
companies, making in all a splendid pro
cession. The line of march was north to
Pulton, then to Main and then to Court
House. Here the regiments formed on the
sidewalk with the 102 d in front rank and
the 134 th and 137 th in the rear, and sur
rounded by a dense crowd of people.
Newton Black, Esq., called for order
and introduced Charles IfcCandlesft, Est).,
who made the address of welcome. He
began by referring to the clause in the
Declaration of Independence proclaiming
that "all men were created free and equal"
and entitled to "Life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness", spoke of the war to se
cure that liberty, the error of the first con
stitution in recognizing slavery, the "irre
pressible conflict", Linooln's elect'on, the
breaking ont of the war, the call for 75,000
men, the organization of the old 13th, and
its reorganization as the 102 d, the history
of the regiment; the call of August, IW>2,
and the organization of the 134 th and
137 th, the rising of the freemen willing to
sacrifice their lives for their country, the
principles fought for, the laurels gained,
and ended by welcoming the regiments to
Butler.
Capt. David E. Jones, of Pittsburg, re
sponded in a neat but short speech accept
ing the welcome, complimented the Butler
County men, and hoped they would all be
made happier by today's reception.
Black then announced that the 102 d
would meet at the Court House at 3 o'clock,
that the 134 th would take the train for the
Fair Ground immediately, and that the
137 th would meet in Greer & Ralston's
office.
The crowd then dispersed, and most of
the soldiers were entertained in town, but
few of the 134 th going immediately to the
Fair Grounds.
At 3 o'clock the 102 d met in front of the
Court House and listened to addresses by
D. B. Douthett. Esq., of Brownsdule, and
Simeon Nixon, Esq., of Butler.
Mr. Douthett spoke of the history of
the regiments, the battles of Cold Harbor,
Spottsylvania. Wilderness, and others,
and favored an extension of the pension
laws. Mr. Nixon said this was a happy
occasion for us—a resurrection beyond
imagination; told of the organization of
Co H., and gave it credit for being the
first to enlist and show the others the way.
Sim doesn't believe in the monopoly of
wealth any more than ho believed in

THE BANQUET.
The hall—the inside of the Rink—was a
bower of beauty—both animate and inani
mates—the tables were beautifully decorat
ed and contained an abundance of good
things.
The soldiers formed at the Court House
at 8 a.m. and marched by twos to the
Rink, and were seated by Col. Sullivan in
viting them to the banquet. Rev. W. 0.
Campbell asked a blessing: and then the
battle began. The fight continued for a
solid hour, and the soldiers as usual were
victorious. After all had partaken. Col.
David E. Jones, for the organizations,made
a neat and witty speech thanking and com
plimenting the ladies.
THE CAMP-FIRE.
Then all adjourned to the Opera House
the gallery of which was reserved for the
ladies. Col. Duvall. the President of the
organization of the 102 d, presided. He said
he had partaken of both supper and ban
quet and "too full for utterance;" he would
bring his haversack along the next time he
came to Butler: Butler county people are
good feeders; Co. II didn't leave a feather
behind them in Virginia.
The first thing on the Programme
was a song by Comrade Danks came for
ward and told and sang of the boy shot
through both eyes— a very touching piece.
Miss Mary Ayres then recited "Why do
I Wear this Badgef" and (lid splendidly.
The next on the program was the toast,
"Our Guests," which was responded to by
Comrade George W. Fleeger. He said th**
toast recalled the days of 'Ol when the
nation was called upon to make a great
sacrifica. spoke of the brilliant record of
the 102 d from the beginning to Appo
matox. of the good work of the 134 th and
the 137 th and called them all. Our Royal
Guests.
"Our Hosts" was responded to by Capt.
S. M. Duvall, of Pittwburg. He expected
a warm reception, but when he went into
that banquet hall he wished lie was as bijj
as Comrade Jones and as hungry as Com
rade Large. He was proud of Co. 11.
which lost 140 men during the war.
The toast. "The Veterans of '6l to the
Veterans of "05," was responded to by
Comrade Jones, who sang "The Veteran,'
the song of the one-legged ?alve dealer.
The next was "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," —sung by Cyrus Harper.
Comrade Garrison, a colored protege of
Col. Danks, then added a background to
the picture.
"Our Absent Comrades" was responded
to by Comrade TV. O. Campbell, who
made a beautiful address, bnt too long for
us to synopsize.
The next was "The Volunteer of '62,"
but Col. Thompson, who responded to it.
thought best to talk to the ladies in the
gallery, and for 15 or 20 minutes bombard
ed them with tally of the most exasperat
ing sweetness.
The next was a speech and "roll-call" of
the dutchman's company comrade Jno M
Greer. Jno was proud to be a citizen of
Butler that day, aud he told some amusing
incidents and among them the story ofMaj
Anderson's swearing at Antietam. Song
by Col Danks "When the war cloud, dark
and dreary." followed by "The Trundle
Bed."
The next in the program was "The
young fellow who went as soon as he was
old enough," and comrade Newton Blaek
told of his enlistment and his experiences
in the army.
Capt. Fullwood said that Gen. Sherman
described a Camp Fire as a place where
soldiers come to swap lies, and then he
tried to prove it with a story or two.
Comrade Herr of the 137 th said that this
was one of the most enjoyable days of his
life and spoke of the the results of the
war.
Duva'l then moved a vote of thanks to
the committees, ladies and citizens, which
carried—of course.
Then, as it was near midnight, all rose
to their feet, and sang "Auld Lang Syne,'
and dispersed.
We mako the above synopsis as short as
possible, as on this (Friday) morning we
are hurried for time. There were enough
good things said at the camp-fire to fill a
page of this paper, and we are sorry that
we have not a day instead of an hour to
give to it.
The whole thiug was, we believe, one of
the best reunions ever held in the State.
To the W. C. T. U.
Dear sisters of the W. C. T. U. of Butler
Count}-. We have no doubt but that many
of you feel completely discouraged and <1 is -
heartened since the overwhelming defeat
of the 18th of June. AVe all share in the
dreadful disappointment, but let us not be
discouraged. God lives and rules and
righteousness shall triumph. It has been
truly said there is no defeat in temperance
work.
"Right is right since God is God,
And right the day must win,
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be siu."
Had we won the victory with one battle,
there would bo many people ready to say:
God had nothing to do with. "God rules
in a mysterious way. His wonders to per
form."
How do we know but that God's purpose
in permitting such an immense majority
against the amendment, and the unright
eous decisions of tlu; Supreme Court is all
to show us the magnitude of the evil, and
make us more willing and determined than
ever before to persistently fight till our
latest brenth this curse of our land. l>r.
Josiah M. Strong tells us that in New
York, Boston and Chicago there are over
one hundred saloons for every one church
and each one of these saloons is pouring out
liquid damnation 18 hours per day, C and i
days in the week, for every one church
pouring out the gospel not over 8 hours per
week. He claims that something terrible
will happen to our country,unless the good
people wake up and go to work in earnest.
Dear sisters, we are overpowered but not
conquered. Let us work as never before
to educate the people. Remember our
country and our homes are at stake. The
victory may be ours much sooner than
many anticipate, for God is our leader.
Let every union endeavor to increase its
membership. The W. and Y. having the
greatest per cent of increase will carry
away the banners which are to be present
ed at our annual convention which is to be
held in Butler in November. See that all
dues are collected at once aud forwarded
to our Co. Treas. Mrs. A. M. Rice,Pctrolia.
Also see that the names of delegates—to
State convention which is to be held in
Philadelphia, Oet. 9, 10 and 11—are -sent
to me by September Ist. We are entitled
to one delegate for every fifty paying meni
bers. Faithfully yours,

THERE are more ways than one of getting
into the United States, so John Chinaman
thicks. John's favorite waj- of circum

is to ship from China to Mexico and then
sneak across the border. This is a pretty
big country, and we can't patrol our border
as do the European countries, hence it is a
very easy matter for the Chinese to swarm
| in upon us.
Yeldeli Acquitted.
John Yeldeli alias Rev. E. F. Flemon.
lately of Pittsburg, was tried at Edgefield,
S. C.. last week and acquitted. The Court
told the jury that if they found that Yel
deli had done the shooting in self-defense,
j they should acquit him. Threats of ossas
sination were made after the acquittal, and
Yeldeli was escorted from the jail to the
train by a company of armed men.
The following is a summary of the evi
dence offered: W. R. Parks testified that
he was the trial Justice who issued the
warrant for Yeldeli, Briggs and Harri- for
disturbing the peace and carrying c >nceal< d
weapons, and that he appointed his broth
er. F. M. Parks, as his constable to exe
cute the warrant, and upon his report that
he could not make the arrest by himself,
he instructed his constable to get a sutfi
cient number of men to assist him in mak
ing the arrest.
F. M. Parks, the constable, testified that
he proceeded to make the arrest, but could
not effect it without aid. and under in
structions from the trial Justice he sum
moned a posse of five men among whom
was James Blaekwell. The posse left
Parksville before day on the 30th of Octo
ber, 1884. and proceeded to Josh Hrigg's
house, where Yeldeli, Allen. Harris and
Lige Briggs had taken refuge. Before
reaching the house the po»e was fired in
to from ambush and I'.lackwell was shot
down.
Josh Briggs. the next witne—. testified
as follows- John Yeldeli. with other ne
groes, came to his house a little before
sundown on the evening of the 29th of Oc
tober, and stayed all night. Before day
light next morning Yeldeli waked hiui up
and said he heard a noise. They were ex
pecting the white men. and went out in
the lot. As Blaekwell and a Mr. Stone
were seen approaching. Josh said "halt."
and immediately Yeldeli fired and Black
well fell. Then he (Josh) fired the second
shot at the same parties near the gate.
None of the negroes in his party were hurt.
Lige Briggs was not called on to testify.
Each side was allowed two hours for argu
ment.
The charge of Judge I'ressley was fair,
but favorable to the prisoner on two im
portant points. If the jury believed that
they met at Josh Briggs' house, supposing
there was a party on foot determined to
lynch them or do any violence to them,the
negroes assembled had a right to congre
gate together there and resist arrest, if pos
sible, and if Blaekwell had his gun pres
ented at the time lie was shot, then it was
not murder for whoever killed him.
The case was then given to the jury. On
the first ballot eleven were for acquittal
and one for conviction. It stood that way
for over an hour, when the solitary juror
went over to the majority.

A Fly Causes Death.
Pt" NXst'T.wvxEY, August 12.—Moses El
vich, a junk dealer, had a team of horses,
and he thought a great deal of them. He
had been engaged to haul a load of fur
niture for a man who was moving from
Brookville to this place. - it is a hilly road
and the horses needed careful watching.
While going down a steep hill Moses saw a
large fly on the neck of one of the horses.
It annoyed the man as much as it did the
horse, and the insect caused the death of
the animal and also of Moses.
lilrich, in leaning forward to brush away
the fly, fell to the ground and broke his
neck. The horses took fright, and, run
ning into the fence, the one on which the
fly was sitting broke its leg and had to be
killed. Elvich was picked up by his father
in-law, who was following with another
load of household goods.

"best people;" but the lieinousness of the
offense was multiplied tenfold by the fact
that in this same department now works
a young lady, who, if the negro should be I
introduced there, would actually have to
sit habitually in the same room with him, |
would have to see him at his work, aud j
perhaps would have to speak to him. j
Entered a Fiery Furnace.
BtßMismi.wt. ALA., Anjri-t 13. — The
religions craze that prevails among the nt
groes in the vicinity of Bessemer and the
conntry between there and this place, lias
resulted in the enactment of a fearful trag
edy. For some time past an old negro,
named Tobias Jackson, has been proclaim
ing himself as Daniel the Prophet, and do
ing all kinds of singular, wild and queer
things. The darkies in this section are ig
norant and superstitions, and Jackson's
actions and the great powers which he
claimed to have been invested with, awed
the simple-minded negroes.
Saturday last Jackson persuaded three
young negro men that they were represen
tatives of Shadiach. Mi-shach and Abedne
go. the three children of faith who entered
the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzar, and
that they could enter it and pas*, through
without the smell of fire.
The three negroes, calling themselves
the "children of Israel." under the in
fluence of their new prophet, deliberately
entered the gate of the cupola ot the fur
nace and rushed headlong into the white
heat of the melting iron. When they fail
ed to come out the prophet proclauied
that he saw them rising iu the air with
the smoke of the furnace, attended by an
gels. and that they would revisit the earth
again next Sunday.
The negroes propose to meet at church
next Sunday and pray, awaiting the des
cent of the three children of Israel. The
mother of one of them, when asked about
the matter, said: "I feel just as sure my
boy is in heaven as if I'd been there and
seen him. Jackson, the prophet commend
ed him to walk into the fiery furnace, and
he was 'bleeged ter obey him.
THE acquittal of Flemon in South Caro
liua, last Saturday, will give Northern
people a better opinion of Southern justice.
TIIH May brick case was the sensation of
England last week. It be the
general opinion that Mrs. May brick is a
very bad woman, but as her husband was
an arsenic eater it is not believed that she
poisoned him. Had she not gone on the
witness stand herself, she would probably
have been acquitted.
A LANSINU, Michigan, clergyman invest
ed in lottery tickets and won $5,000, and it
is said his church people are "displeased."
They should be more than "displeased."
Tliey should be mad clean through, and
they should take that minister by the neck
and fire him clean out of the church. A
minister who deals in lottery tickets has no
right to preside over the spiritual welfare
of a congregation. He is serving the devil
when he aids and abets a lottery scheme —
the worst form of swindling.
A BOOM has already set in along the bor
ders of the* Sioux reservation in Dakota,
which will bo opened for settlement, and
a repitition of the success in Oklahoma
may be expected. The eleven million
acres in this reservation will afford homes
for many thousands of ambitious men, and
the sudden influx of settlers will give the
new State a boom which will place her in
in the family of States.
A REMARK AISLE instance of long contin
ued service in the employment of a single
concern is furnished in the case of Smith
15. Freeman, who died recently on Staten
Island at the age of 82 years, after having
been continuously employed by the Staten
Island dyeing establishment since its or
ganization in 1819. a period of 70 years.
Now let Mississippi howl! The Presi
dent has given the postofiice at Ilazel
hurst. Miss., to Clara Matthews, daughter
of J. I'. Matthews, who was murdered at
that place because he insisted upon voting
a Republican ticket after the Democrats
had ordered him to stay away from the
polls. Miss Matthews succeds in the of
fice the man who presided over a meeting
which passed resolutions justifying the as
sassination. and who was appointed to the
office by Cleveland. Truly there is justice
in the land yet!
As the official returns show, the exports
of domestic merchandise from the United
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889,
amounted iu value to $742,000,000 in round
figures—a gain of about $46,000,000 upon
the exports of 1888: The value of imports
of merchandise amounted in 1889 to $740,-
000,000 against $724,000,000 in 1888. The
increase in exports was chiefly in cotton,
beef, pork, dairy products, animals, Indian
corn, petroleum and manufactures. There
was a decrease in the exports ol wheat,
flour, cotton goods and a few other ar
ticles.
A VERY doubtful story comes from
Egypt, which purports to explain why the
dervishes advanced upon the Egyptian
troops with so small a force, yet with such
surprising confidence. The story is to the
effect that a wide spread plot existed, in
which the Egyptian troops were to resort
to treachery and go over to the dervishes
in a body instead of opposing theui.
reception which the dervishes met with is
sufficient to discredit the story, for they
were slaughtered like sheep.
TIIK Canadian seal fishing schooner,
Black Diamond, recently seized in-Bebriug
Sea by the t'liited States cutter, Kush,now
turns up at Victoria, instead of having
been taken to Alaska, as was supposed.
Until an official report is made public, the
matter will not be clearly understood. As
the Hush put only one man on the Black
Diamond, it looks as though the seizure
was merely for the purpose of stopping
further depredations, and not for the pur
pose of enforcing any penalty against the
schooner. The plan proved effective, it
such was its purpose, lor the Black Dia
mond took speedy leave of the forbidden
sea and got back into Canadian waters as
quickly as possible.
PEOPLE have been wondering what has
been causing the unusual rain fall this
summer. Some of the Democratic press
have laid the blame on the new adminis
tration. Meteorologists have told us ol
high barometers and low barometers. As
trouomersjiave pointed to the freckled face
of the sun as a possible cause Now, how
ever, they have a new story which may ac
count for or be an accompanying phenom
enon. A day or two ago one of our East
ern star-gazers discovered a new cornet
sweeping this way, and the news was her
alded abroad. The great Lick telescope
was speedily pointed in that direction, and
now comes the story that not one comet,
but a whole flock of them, seven in num
ber, were seen. If they are guilty of cre
ating the exceeding dampness they may
do even worse before they leave us. The
only apparent consolation is the fact that
there is luck iu odd numbers and there are
only seven instead of thirteen.
Scrofula
Probably no form of disease U so generally dis
tributed ainongour wholo population as scrofula.
Almost every individual has this latent poison
coursing his veins. The terrible sufferings en
dured by those ulllicted with scrofulous sores
cannot bo understood by others, and their grati
tude on finding a remedy that cures them, aston
ishes a well person. The wonderful power of
Hood's Sarsaparilla
in eradicating every form of Scrofula has been so
clearly and fully demonstrated that it leaves n«>
doubt that it is the greatest medical discovery of
this generation. It is made by C. I. IIOOD &. CO.,
Lowell, Mass., and is sold by all druggists.
