In tbe interior and Wrstxrn States than ba lievn a great falling off, ran-etl by lh severe winter, the Iste, eo d spring, drouth, and. In several State, Insect rnvages; but, while the ni:ntity of tbe crop is reduced, tb quality i generslly reported very good. CUtN. Tbe November returns of corn show an, ar.w jrirld of twenty and one-half bnahel xr acre, iadicatMig a falling off of about ler cent, from tbe crop of 1n, caused chifl- liy tbe penersl and protracted drouth dories; the growing season, aad ty excessive rains in-' the crop was harvested. Th finality of tbe crop is somewhat below tha average. Secretary Kirfcwaad tyntiatt. Tbe snaual report of tbe Secretary of tha Interiw is largely devoted to tbe fresh tUa cusSoii off tbe Indisa que -lion. He lraag ly recommend that "a liberal prilon b male by Conitreaa for teaching tbe Indian youth our language; th tt, iixn ju.t termt to tbe Imtiitns, the nnmtter and area of tbe exi-tiuK reservations be greatly reduced; that on such reservations as 4 re wot well adapted to farming without irrigation, efforts be made to teach Indatos to become brdmen instead of eadcavring to try to make tbem farmon; that Indian titles to reduced reservations bo Individual lac J and thoroughly protected by law; and that the mere civilised reservation Indians tw encouraged to abandon their tribal relations by setting up experimental 1 forms ot local government among tbem, aa nearly alike as may bo to the system of county governmeat preraiHiig In tbe state or Territories In which tbe reservation an reepectlvely located. Then an now ia tbe Slates and Territories west of tbe XlwUsippi River 10 reservations, great and small, on which are located, in round numbers, (4.000 Ia liano. If all tbe Indians west of the Xisstt-ippl were gathered up an four or tve reservations our Indian affairs could be aiaaagod with greater ecoaomy to the Government nad greater beaett to tbe Indian. I recommend that Congress be asked te create a commission of three or four eminent ettlaeat to vl.lf. dur. log neat year, tbe reservations West of tbe Mississippi River for the purpoe of recent mendiac to Conirrest. if thev shall deem It wise, the concentration off tbe Indians on four or tve reservsUons, to be selected In different parts of tbe West, on which tho different tribes snail be located; and If tbto ball, in the Judgment of tbe ( omrauwion, not be wise, then to recommend the eotteont nt km of the existing small agencies whan that can be properly done, snd a rcdocttoM of tbe area of others to dimensions tionabie to the number of Indian Ibereoo." ItowaUtrd. Elton Kesxler, tbe daughter of well-to-do parents residing near Blue Island, who was attending Nrtn-d School at Knalewood, came to her death but night under peculiar circumtatices, hut whether tbe case is on of accident or suicide cannot now be determined aad may always remain a my-tery.
