MvLmn:hI;n, Who is Soon to r'ake Charge of Stand- ing Rock Agency. Treatmont of the Surrendered Sionx Kinduess gnd Good Faith St Paw Ploneor One of the most thoroughly posted men in the nation on Sioux character istics, prejudices and dealings, is Maj. | James McLaughlin, who left last even ing for Devil's Lake where he has been agent for many ycars and has gained a wide reputation for con- scientiousness and_ability in dealing with his charge. The ajor is accom panied 1 W. Cramsie, who will ro lieve him and in a fortnight at furthest Maj. McLaughlin hopes to be en route to his new and highly important charge on the Missouri river at Stand- ing Rock — highly important not only from the number of Indians there cared for but from their character and antecedents and the recently hostilo attitude of so many of them. When an agent has under his charge such men as Sitting Bull, Crow King, Gall, Rain-in-the-Face, and scores of others whese names are houscehold words on the frontier, ho needs something be- fide native knowledge—the ability to distribute so many articles of clothing and 8o much food—and McLaughlin has been chosen because both the in- terior and the war departments be- lieve in his pre-eminent fitness for the place. Father Stephens, the agent whom McLaughlin relieves, could not possibly cope with the difliculties of the position, which will be many and notable. A Pioneer Press represen- tative had a friendly chat with Maj. McLaughlin yesterday, and the sub- ject of THE PROS CTIVE TREATMENT of those so recently hostile came up. Of course, a marked line of conduct could not be decided upon as yet; cir- cumstances, surroundings and tem- peraments must first be carefull studied, and asa line action which would prduce the best resultsas to one individual or band, might be fol- lowed by unfortunate results in other cases, the eternal fitness of things would have to be considered on the spot and in the presence of parties in- terested. Major McLaughlin freely recognized the difliculties of the posi- tion, but said: “‘Having accepted the charge of the agency Iwill not let the word ‘fail’ enter my mind even. I know I shall succeed with these fellows, as I have with their conquerors above. With- out having made any definite plans I may say that it shall be my endeavor to gain the confidence of the worst chiefs and head men first. Letme but succeed in making them feel that while I will not tolerate insubordination I am still through and through their friend; that I have neither reason nor wish to deceive, orin any way un- justly treat them, and the rest will be comparatively easy. I know their characters 80 thoroughly and how largely distrust'enters into it and warps their judgment. Of courso the nomadic instincts and longings for the absolutely UNFETTERED LIBERTY OF THE PLAINS and the mountains will come strongly over the recently surrendered braves at times, and will have to be kindly, yet firmly combatted; but I tell you my friend, while I believe as you have said, that it is far from impossible that Sitting Bull even now meditates an escape from the reservation when he shall have been fed and clad, and has had an opportunity to regain his lost influences over the people, I be- lieve none the less fully that by this time next summer that redoubtable chief will have changed his desires and have become an Agency Indian in the better meaning of the term. I shall convince him first, that the whites mean him no harm and bear hiv: naught of malice, and then by son.e little preferment or authority— almost intangible in itself, but toa man who believed he might be hung when captured, a very great deal—ho can g adually be induced to learn the truth that his best interests will be subserved by obedience to the powers that be. Maybe I'm a trifle too san- guine and alittle Utopian in my ideas, but I hope not. The treatment that will win with Sitting Bull will, with such modifications or alterations as temperament may dictate, be success- ful in the case of other chiefs, and you see whether T don't, in a few years, have a peaceful agency, and a well-disposed ]ntnf wards,” ONE THING, AMONG OTHERS, Maj. McLaughlin has in his favor is his harmony with the militacy author ities. In tho years he has served as agent at Devil's Lake, not a breath of discord nor a suspicion of jarring un- leasantness has occurred between him and the several officers command- ing at Fort Totten; while, on the con- trary, the writ 18 heard, over and over again, from army officers expres- sions not only of approval, but of warm regard for Maj. McLaughlin, many of them characterizing him as the model Indian agent in the United States. * The Younger Brothers. Special from 8t. Paul to the Chicago Tribune. j» L. P. Younger and son and A, R. Younger, of Oregon, uncle and cousin of the celebrated Younger bro- thers, who are serving life sentences in the Minnesota penitentiary, have arrived at Stillwater to try and secure the release of the outlaws by pardon. Maj. Younger emigrated to Oregon trom Missouri in 1853, and conse- quently knew very little of the boys, énlu being a mere boy, Jim a babe at the breast, and Bob as yet unborn, so that his first business was to visit his old home and ascertain their history, and get the records of their doings, upon which to build a foundation for his work, This he began early last September, since which time he has applied himself to the task, He has traveled that section of Kansas and Missouri all over, and talking with prominent men and officers, finding great encouragement on all sides. Further, he has in his possession a certificate, properly certified to, from the proper authorities in Clay, Cass, and Jackson counties, Missouri, show- ing that no criminal action of any THE OMAHA DA!L\' BEE: THURs The Policy He is to Adopt in Hh‘ been brot Col. kind has ever any of the family. t against the first settler in 8t.

The Curious Adventure ofa Young Woman of the Eastorn Shore. Baltimore Mrs. Annie Souder, nee Cullen, as stated in yesterday's Gazette, arrived here on Tuesday in the Tangior, with her brother, and went to the house of some friends on North A streot. Yosterday a reporter of this paper called to see her and was politely re- ceived. The young lady wasin no wise embarrassed but told the story of her singular matrimonial adven- ture freely, and, possessing intelli- gence and sincerity, the interview was of the most interesting and pleasing character. She is very pretty, being about medium height or slightly un- der, with an excellent figure, a clear complexion and dark brown hair, so that it is no wonder that Mr. . W, Souder became enamored of this fair denizen ot the eastern shore. She states that she became acquainted with Mr. Souder three or four weeks pre- vious to her marriage. Her father, Mr. acob Cullen, keeps a store in Crisfield, and Souder went thero to sell jewelry, as he made his living ped- dling jewelry through the peninsula. One Thursday, about the ¢ part of April, she went driving with Soud- er. She had always hitherto avoided being alone with him, but on this oc- casion understood that she going Gazctto, to seo her sister. After they had gono Souder some distance into the country asked her to marry him. She and told him that she did not lov and would rather die than marry him. Souder then threw a marriage license into her lap and told her that if she did not marry him she would never get bz k to Crisfield alive. Becoming frightened, she consented to go to the minister'’s. Before they arrived there he told her that if any minister should endeavorjto prevent the marriage he would kill him Thus her fears for the minister's life prevented her from informing him of the circumstances attending the marriage. The ceremony was performed and the two returned to Crisfield. ~ As soon asshe reached home the lady informed her brother of what had taken place. He at once made the facts known to his father, The lady pro- tested that she did not love her hus- band, had been forced to marry him and would not live with him. As both father and brother sided with her, Souder, though objecting very strongly to the sequel to lus marriage, was compelled to go to his hotel with- out his bride. Matters have remain- ed in this condition ever since Sou- der has had several interviews with his bride of an hour, but she still re- mains obdurate and refuses to sofi her sentence of banishment. She states that he would frequently pass her on the street and speak to her, but she has steadily refused to notice him, On Tuesday, partly to avoid him altogether, she came to Baltimore as stated, with her brother. Souder was in the same boat. He approach- ad to speak to her, and asked her why she was angry and whether she would not return to him, In the presence of her hrother she again told him that she did not love him and would not live with him, A Lawyer Outwitted. “‘Speakin’ of Dr. Bliss scratchin’ the president’s back reminds me of a sarcumstance,” said old Reminis mus- ingly.

The Cincinuati Commercial says an electro-magnetic brake device was ap- plied to cars recently on the C., St. L. & C. railway m the presence of many prominent citizens. The in- vention is by a Cincinnati man, and consists in an iron dram about 18 inches long and nine inches wide, placed on one side of each car. In- side of this drum is an iron spool wound with wire, and connections made through the train with wire, all of which is carefully insulated, Klec tricity is gencrated by a dynamo ma- hine placed on the locomotive, and is carried back by the wires to the spools on the axles, which, becoming magnetic, attracts bars of iron to it in such a way as to cause tho spool to revolve with the axle. This winds the chain of the brake around the drum, and sets the brake on the wheel. The amount of cleetricity for each wheel is carefully regulated to about correspond with the power of an ordinary brukeman, the idea being simply to supply a magnetic brakeman asone might say, instead of wan The initial power is increased s many times as may bo required by means of a peculiarly constructed differential wheel. A train, consist- ing of a locomotive, tender and three freight cars, runuing at the rate of cighteen to twenty miles an hour, was stopped repeatedly without diffis culty by the application of the brake, without using any brake on the loco motive or tender.
