My entire nervous system had been shattered by the stimulant and opiates I had taken, my blood had actually turned to water, my weight had. dropped from 17S pounds to 123, and it seemed to everybody that the end was in sight.

Why I eould not bear the gentle band of my wif to bath my limb with tepid water. I was imply livinr from hour to hour. I had maae my will, settled my business and waited for the last strand of life to tnap. It was at. this tun that a somewhat siml lar ease as my own brought to my notioe.

Secretary Smith has forwarded to the president the draft of two proclamations opening to settlement the lands ceded by the Yankton Sioux in South Dakota and the Alsea and other Indiana on the Silotx reservation in Oregon. The president is expected to act immediately on these and issue the formal proclamations within a few days. The Yankton reservation embodies some of the best land in the state and contains 168,000 acres. The proclamation, as forwarded provides that the lands shall be subject to entry within thirty days of publication. Land officials do not expect rush for the land such as characterized the Oklahoma opening and will adopt measures tending to secure equal treatment for all settlers.

The agreement with the Yanktons provided for the payment of $000,000 for the surplus lands, together with $20 for each male adult of the tribe. The agreement with the Indians on the Sijotz reservation provided for the cession of all their nnalloted lands except five sections of timber land, the total ceded territory covering 178,800 acres. The compensation paid by the government was $100,000. There are several other reservations for which negotiations for opening to settlement are being made, and the Nez Perces lands in Idaho will probably be among the first made subject to entry.
