Waiting for the Word. i All that now prevents the settlement of the Yankton (S. I). Indian Les Tvaj tion by white settlers is the proclama- : tion of the President. The treaty has i been signed, the allotment of lands to i the Indians has been approved 1 y the i Secretary of the Intel io •, and Congress has made an appropriation to I carry out tho provisions of the-treaty. This land will bo tea ,ily taken, ai it is i desirable, being in a county that jro--1 duced good crops this year, and eno which is rated as the best corn-produc-ing county in tho State. The Yankton Ind an Reservation lies within the borders of Charles Mix I County. Outside the reservation the county is we 1 s ttled, and contains three thriving villages and a groat many well-cultivated faims. Negotiawith these Indians were concluded i Dec. 31, 18! 2. By tho treaty thus ; made the Indians releas d to the 11 nite I States 138,000 acres of choice ' iarming land, which will toon be open 1 to set 'lenient to homesteaders at $ ..5 por acre.

Indians are making satisfactory progress in civilization, and already many of them are carable of taking rare of themselves, and for such, it is believed, it would be better if all pecuniary aid from the government were withdrawn, throwing them wholly upon their own resources. HOME OF THE KICKAPOO& Rich and Beautiful, and Inhabited by a Lazy. Worthless Boonie. It will not be long before the Kicka?oo Indian reservation in Oklahoma 'erritory is thrown open t > s ttlement and when that time comer the sun of ■ this curious race of people will have nearly set. Already the note of ap- > proaching dissolution of the tribe :s sounded in the McCrae bill, which provides for the selling of the public lands in the ieservati< n at public auction. This measure is in the, interests of the cattlemen, and is regarded as an outrage against the poor citizens ■ who are clamoring for homes in this, ' almost the last, remnant of the public domain. The reservation consists of i 200,00 • acres, and is of great value. It is timbered, well watered, and the soil i in the South Canadian River valley is. as bla k and rich as Illinois prairie loam.

The Kickapoo Indian who possesses the 1 rdly domain is constitutionally lazy. In the South < anadian River bottoms the Indians grow little gatches of corn. When they have planted the crop they think they have done their duty, an 1 as a result thay tcorn cultlvatun, and weeds and wild tunflowers keep pace with the growth of the corn. The kickapoos tiave no schools within their reservation. There are no missionaries there. But for the effort of a gentle < uaker lady, Mis; Elizabeth Test, who has succss-fully conducted a small school in tho Kickapoo country, the r sing generation would be exceedingly dull in the matter of education. I Miss Test ha; been seventeen years j among the Indians teaching the little I pai looses the primary steps toward an : education. i The Kirka 00 country is rich in timber.
