We have been short of salt pork a good deal of it got but it has been made up by fresh beef. When we are on a march, we ouly draw crackers, salt pork and beef, and coffee and In camp we draw in addition, beans, peas, rice, vinegar, pickles at times, and if we stay any length of time we put up our bakery and have fresh bread.

the whole truth. I call the four winds to witness that I tell lies. Now I am about to follow the rule we follow in Indian councils, and smoke the Calumet, and then I will tell you the 'And the oldChief sat down and very deliberately drew a little "kinnekiniek" from his worn and soiled pouch, rubbed it fine in his hands, filled his long pipe, smoked a few handed it to the Governor, who smoked, and then passed it around the ray of Chiefs, and then to each of the spectators in the roam, and amidst the odors ot the weed the ceremonies proceeded. The Governor expressed himself as being glad to see these Chiefs and. he hoped the difficulties existing between them and the whites might be allayed by this visit.

The Governor asked, through the interpreter, the. Chief Dandy, the following questions tribe do you represent vDo these Chiefs all belong to the same tribe?" "Yes." you comman.d all the Winnebagoes "1 am ruler of them." "Do you speak for yourself and all the Chiefs present." "For all of them." The Gov'enor then said he would smoke the pipe of peace with them as that was- their custom, though it was not the custom of the whites, and then he would listen to they might have to say. The Governor then stated that he had smoked with them, and waa ready to listen to what had to say. After all in the room had smoked a little, the Dandy shook hands with the Governor and with others near by, and proceeded to speak to the Governor in substancee as follows going to begin, now I am yellow skinned, but my heart is clean and good. I liav'e travelled all over the country and nbyer had any trouble until a short time ago; 'TCe'canseof the recent troubles was jiving liquor to the Indians.

I have often begged of the whites that they would not give the Indians liquor, and told them it would cause- trouble. All they desired was to come over and pick berries and fish a little. The Indians were all poor and naked. abtj wanted tp get' berries to get clothes with. I have picked berries ai.d fished, but nbver had any quarrels with the whites.

"You understand that I am not able to keep all the Indians under my control; When they start to pick berries, they do not all go together hue go where they have a mind to. I want to tell nothing but the 'I he tribe is very poor. If they had been able they would have gone to Washington to see their friends there. Eleven of their number had been taken up and put in I was there were four. "The.

Indian. that comrnitud the murder, was most of the time crazy He was half Winuebago and half Menomonee. I had no control over him but had to watch him all. the It to. keep him straight when he Was sober and when he was 1 in liquor he much worse.

When told that, -this man was killed, the Indians were" all glad, beecause they called him a bii'd Indian. What I tell you is the truth. "I got a white man to read tome your letter, and 1 am glad to come oyer and talk about the matter. 'The Indian now in jail is half Menominee. I have nothing to do with him.

If anything is done. that is to my I WiU'come a'nd' tell yon about it. The people- in Necedah" 'and the 'Yellow River Country, are all afraid when they see Indians. It was a drunken Indian that got to fighting with the' woman and kilted her. "1 have tried to stop the whites from giving the Indians.

There are some good men but some sell everything they can to the Indians. "Everybody knows that when the Indians have no liqour they are straight. The Indians like to live with the white man. All they want is to kill game, pick berries and fish; "I aman'old man, and am opposed to the removal of tbe Indians. Tbe chiefs are all old men.

Look at them. We want no quarrel. We have to fight hard enough against poverty, without fighting with the people. White men that know us, know. ns to.be good and they shake hands with us.

hope you will never hear any thing bad again. Above where I live I have a son and a daughter picking berries near the tunnel. -They never make any trouble at all." After shaking hands all around again, Dau; dy took his seat. 'Salomon then asked the following questions- of -Dandy to which be gave s'wers. Where- was 'yott' when the murder was committedt" '-How-, i do yon 1 know that the man who waa killed was the man who committed the tbii difficulty will probably pass over.

i aha 1 with your you must tell alt Indians 10 keep away irom drink no whiskey; live pence ablyyand deliver up the men who cbrnmit-: ted the murder; and there probably would. bejno more difficulty." Young Dakbrra, who is half French, made-a few remarks, refering to the fact- thit many whhes who knew his father, knew.that he had a permit to atay in this He had always been good to the whites. He was well known, he said, to the old settlers; many of whom had got lost, apd be had brought them to his. wigwam, and shown them the way out of trouble. If he could find out who committed the murder, he would bring it out.

He did not want to hide anything. He referred to the remark of the Governor that tha Indians must not drink whiskey, and said, "It was harder'to stop Indians, from drinking whiskey, than it was for him, stop persons from selling it. The Governor then told them that, if any white man sold them liquor, to inform the interpreter, or some justice of it, and they would send Tbe selling of liquor to the Indiana was forbidden, and he would punish all wlio did it. Let him know about it, and he would see that all who did it were punished. THe chief Dandy then spoke in strong terras of favor of the interpreter, aud said he' had known him 25 years.

lie than spoke of Ma feebleness and his poverty. He said. "How can I go to war with the -whites 1 Can I load my gun with, sand He did not want to fight. He only- wanted to make money out of his berries anl if ho quarreled, with tha whites, they would not buy his berries. He was too old: He wanted to satisfy in.all things.

He said be had seen better days than when the old nation wag here. He was well off then, but now be was poor enough. Said' he. "If you had seeii'me in my younger and should come now to my wigwam, it would hurt your feelings." He wanted to be dn good terms with the be poor is bad enough, without fighting. They all know me, and never knew me to bad Indian.

I never hurt the whites. The chief Good Fish then said a few- words, stating that he was not muchofa speaker, but he always told the truth. He bad been anxious to come here. Ha hoped the Father would take him by tha hand and, as long as they did right, he hoped they would be regarded as his children. The Governor remarked that he had no power over the question of their removal; that belonged to their great Father at Washington.

Ue desired to keep peace with them. After some further conversation' Governor Salomon presented each of the Chiefs with a pipe aud tobacco. The chief Dandy said that when in trouble, he would smoke this pipe and think of him. of" the 2d: fell out- Die lOOlh Peansylvanm byp nem They hadnot goiie fair when they also caved in.
