STAFFORD of St. GUSS WEIRRICK Aloysius' church. H. J. LOONAM The above is a splendid showing, and one of which the rector, Father Casey, may well feel proud, and one of which the Catholics of Wichita ought to feel glad.

In explanation of the figures repa resenting the amounts paid out on the academy building and the church, it is proper to state here that these figures by no means represent the amounts expended on these buildings. Large nations were received outside of this city for both the church and the academy, which do not appear in the parochial account, but which were expended on the buildings. Again in the case of the academy, owing to a misunderstanding between the contrators and those who furnished the material, very little has yet been paid on the material, but the money is in the treasury to pay for everything. It may be proper here to state in connection with the item of $645.08 paid on old debts previous to Father Casey's coming, another debt of about $200 has been settled. The church is out of debt, and the value of the real estate now owned by the church is fully $1,225,000.

So great a result, we venture to say without fear of contradiction, has never been achieved in one year in any parish in the Uuited States. The beginning of November, a year ago, the parish was in debt $800. We had no church worthy of name. Now we have one of the finest churches in the state. One wing of All Hallow's Academy has been built, and provisions made for finishing the main building and the other wing this year.

The parish is clear of debt and there is, according to the foregoing financial report, $9,329.77 in the treasury. Besides all this the church owns fully $1,225,000 in real estate. Further comment is unnecessary. THE AMAZONS OF OUR DAY. Interesting Scenes and Incidents Witnessed by a Correspondent on the Nez Perces Reservation.

A few weeks since, says a correspondent, I accepted an invitation from an official to accompany him on a business trip to one of the most peculiar settlements on the Nez Perces Indian reservation. The undertaking necessitated a horseback ride of thirty miles, but when told that the vicinage to be visited was that notorious one managed almost exclusively by the squaws, I hesitated no longer. The ground white with frost, and the east wind was sharp enough galloping to make ponies our hurried noses us red, along as the road before the sun appeared above the grass-covered hills that formed gray, the near Five miles of up grade and we were in the sunshine. The wild prairie, rising and falling in little hillocks, extended before us for a distance. of fifteen miles, each wavelike swell rising above the other, up to the blue-timbered mountains that enclosed the landscape like a frame for the picture.

All this area is rich and the native grasses grow with luxuriousNo cultivated meadow is more ness. fertile than the virgin soil of this elevated plateau, unfenced, unowned as it and yet those on whom it is entailed is, government pensioners. We came are to the brow of a hill. Down. down below, 2,000 feet, were Lapwai creek and the beautiful valley.

We had looked the canyon when we scanned the across vast expanse and observed no break in the undulating surface. This was the former home of Chief Joseph's braves, and is the present home of the remnant of that branch of the fierce tribe. The valley of Lapwai is a veritable modern Eden, Though 500 miles from the Pacific ocean, it is only 920 feet above mometer the level seldom of the registers sea. as The others zero, The high walls protect the valley from wind storms, and the snow fall is light. The soil is a very rich, sandy but contrary to the usual order of loam, things, it is dry and requires irrigation, while the high table land on either side is moist from natural sources.

The in October is only a succession of creek pearly ripples and clear, shady pools, that make look and expect to see the flashing sides of speckled trout. I It affords the water supply for the small farms, and little. ditches run through every field. Rude fences of logs, sticks and stones encircle nearly all the rich bottom lands. Cross fences divide the whole into as many fields as there are family divisions of the tribe, and a group of wickiups, tents and old dingy cabins on some sunny slope near the running water afford shelter for numerous progeny of dusky loungers on each subdivision.

A picture of one of these holdings will apply to every other one. The same tumble down fences, forsaken looking, unpainted old buildings, half buried in rank half dozen squaws of all ages, sitting in the fashion of the Turk, on the sandy ground in the sun. There is something noble about the Indian before he degenerated by contact with the white man. His bright eye, his erect form, his muscular development, and his powers of endurance were distinctive features of his race before the inroads of civilization blighted his vitality. As we rode quietly past these simple homes two young squaws rode past us.

Their guadily, caparisoned horses were rearing and plunging, while they laughed and chatted, seeiningly unconcerned. They filled my ideal of what a Pocahontas might have looked. On the other hand there is no specimen of fellow humanity more abject than the Indian who has given up the chase of the plains for the ways of civilization. We met them on the road to the city, at work at family washings, or other odd jobs, for scanty wages, which they would spend for drink if possible. Their clothing was filthy rags, and their every feature an expression of misery, as they jogged along bestride their miserable ponies.

There are comparatively few of these outcasts connected with the Nez Perces tribe. They have been associated with the whites for fifty years, but have not succumbed to vices, as is usually the custom, when the races intermingle. The richness of country selected as their home, the best preserves of game in the mountains near by, and the fish in the streams have supplied the wants of nature so fully that they have been independent. Joseph's braves were bred amid their surroundings. Their cunning, their prowess, their powers of endurance surprised the world at large terrorized Idaho.

We saw women of all ages everywhere. They worked in the fields, carried wood from the grove to the creek on their broad backs for winter use, and packed the wheat to mill on the overburdened ponies. Nearly all the young men became entangled in the complications that led to the war of 1877, and either fell in battle, were banished with their chief, or scattered among sympathizing tribes on both sides of the Rocky mountains to avoid prosecution by the authorities. The females shoot the bear and the elk. herd and brand the stock, and attend to all the business of the household.

Their cattle and horses, of which some families own large numbers, run wild on the ranges, and the calves are caught by the means of the lasso and branded, and are not corraled. Their haunts are far back from the settlements on the broad plateau where both horse and cattle live undistarbed and die of old age. Wild horses large numbers without brands or owners roam that boundless expanse. A cloud of white dust extending from the rim of the high mountain on the east of us far down toward the level fairly darkened the sun. A rumbling sound was heard, the earth seemed to tremble, and then five hundred pufling, panting horses came running at furious speed down the steep slope.

When they reached the level they began to spread out in all directions. A young Indian woman, mounted on a foaming, rearing horse, that was slinging the white froth as he tossed his head, came dashing out of the blinding dust around the surging mass, and turned it toward the open corral by gracefully throwing out the coils of a long riata. The horses once in the corral were quiet, but crowded head behind his companions. They together, and each tried to hide, his were driven in for sale. Drovers were discussing prices and qualities with the aid of an interpreter with three sisters.

They were the sole owners of the herd, and my escort informed me that this family had sold over $15,000 worth of stock within five years. A dispute arose about the age of a mare while we were looking on. One of the robust sisters stepped forward and letting her blanket fall from her shoulders, and being in a double fold from her' belt, picked up a riata. cut the animal off from the crowd, and lassoed her by both fore feet, throwing, her flat the ground. The frightened beast struggled hard to gain her feet, by dexterous manipulations of the rope the feminine vaquero kept her on her side till her teeth were examined and the dispute settled.

THE GLENBEIGH ATROCITIES. The atrocities, under the auspices of a barbarous landlordism. which have been carried out by the minions of British law at Glenbeigh, Ireland, are a disgrace to civilation. Think of cottages, from which tenants were to be evicted, burned over their heads after they had been coated with paraffine; of a farmer's wife, soon to become a mother, dragged from her bed and laid fainting upon the ground, while policemen load their rifles around her; of a mother vainly begging shelter for her dying infant in a hut from which she had been torn. and then seeking to protect her babe from the cold by covering it with straw in a pig sty, Such are some, alas! only a few, of the sad incidents cabled over the Atlantic, connected with the war of eviction waged on poor Irish tenants, whose destitute condition has been brought about by the cruel and prolonged extortion of the very land Shylocks, who now claim the pound of flesh.

The New York Sun's correspondent states that the case of the woman to whom shelter was refused for her child, it is positively exhilarating to hear of the buxom young Irish woman who used her muscle and shovel and knocked down a bailiff who a nailing up a door. She was arrestwas ed of course; but as she was being escorted off by the policemen with rities, there rush from her friends, and she was a was rescued." Such legal crimes cry to Heaven for vengeance, they make home will rule nerve indis- the pensable for Ireland; and Irish to spare no efforts until they have wiped out from Ireland and from history the last name of a rack-renting his landlord and the last vestiges of a blot on the face of creation, in a land never intended for hideous presence, vermin and reptiles, and human monsters worse than While They Can Still be Had in the GREAT ARKANSAS VALLEY A FARM a ALE stem AT PRICES Within the Reach of Everyone!

Having been in the real estate business in Wichita for ten years, I am familiar with all parts of the county and know where the best lands are located. In all this time I have not sold a single tract of land that has not enhanced in value from 25 to 200 per cent. I am confident there is not a piece of land on my list that will not increase in value 12 per cent. per annum for the next five years.

Statistics prove that this county is the best one in the state, and that Wichita is, of its size, the best city in the United States -Sedgwick county farmers sent thirty-one car loads of shelled corn to the Ohio flood sufferers--a good indication of the prosperity of our farming community.
