The seemingly sure prospects for a speedy and peaceful iefcfJemeailolihc latest Indian trouble were snchlenly interrupted last Monday mornings when a large band of the hosliies who had sur_ rendered to the Seventh cavalry made a treacherous ami preconcerted attack upon Hie troops, as the latter were proceeding to take their arms away from the Indians. The official reports of the tight have not yet been published, but from what can be gleaned from the accounts sent out by the windbags re preset) ting .1 It e daily papers at the scene it is certain that 25 or 30 soldiers were killed and from 250 to 300 Indians. There is grave danger that this affair will result in a general war with the greater part of the Sicmx tribes.

This is the first day of the last decade of the Nineteenth century, the most wonderful period in all ages of the earth’s existence. Iu the nine decades that have ah eady passed, not only has more been done iu the general advancement of civilization, at least in material things, than in any equal period in the past, but more, far more, than in alfthe past ages put together. What theuesi ten years will develop it would be folly to at- , tempt to prophesy. Certain it is> however, that never before, even during this last ninety years of wonders, have the minds of the people been so eager for advancement, so expectant of new marvels in progress as now, and never before were there so many bright and noble minds striving in ten thousand different ways to op n future paths for the forward march of the great procession. The! Nineteenth Century the crown of all the ages and wo predict that its tenth and last decade will he the brightest jewel of that crown. .

It is stragge that a paper ot‘ the I standing and former good reputation of the Lafayette Courier , should, without more evidence than now exists, join in with certain political—demagog oes and Mugwump sentimentalists, in pronouncing the .late fortunate killing of Sitting Bull, a deliberately planned assassination. So serious a charge as this, involving the honor of many of the highest officers in the American army, and probably many higbcivil officials, ought' not to he made lightly nor without good evidence, and in the present absence of such evidence, the deaerate mailing of the charge L* a base and shameful thing to do. All the circumstances of the affair, so far as the public has any knowledge, show it to have been what the array officers report it to be: namely that during a heroic and and daring attempt made by the Indian police to take the bloody old villian prisoner, his friends at hi* own command, made an attack npon those who were attempting the capture and in the excitement and anger following this attack

Sitting Bull was killed. There is no good rekson to doubt the truth of this_accouht, and every reason •to discredit the charge that- the killing was a deliberately planned j and orderedassaismaiion. TheofficersJofjiie.C nited States army are not in the assassination business an<l we,never knew of a case before of perhead charging them with being, I.Furtherntore, the fact that Bull was killed as an incident of his j attempted capture does not prove j that killing was the real object of the- attempt any more than does the death of the two principal | leaders of the baud that did the I killing prove that the killing of ! thfx^two leaders was a deliberately planned part of the whole ! scheme. There is not a bit more sense or truth iu saying that the STiliing of Sitting .Bull was a-.de--1 libera tv iy planned assassination than there would be : in saying the- | same thing of the killing of those ' who were laying to capture him- -

Improvements of 1890.

The Republican has for many years made an invariable practice of publishing, at the end of each year, an itemized list of the improvements in the town .of Rensselaer for that - year and m pursuance of that custom we append a pretty nearly comi plete list of the improvements for i.thfl prPSfTit.ypflr. ~Fpr vflfiftng f one of the chief of wliich, perhaps, was the rush of so many of our people to Ilammond, the list is much shorter than for any year for many ; years. So far as the growth of Rens- | splaer is concerned, it has been, emphatically, an “off year;” yet the list J given below shows that the town has i not been at a stand-still, by any means, but only that, as compared with, most other recent years, it has not advanced nearly so rapidly as usual. The most notable feature of the year’s improvement is, of course, ffie erection of the Catholic college i building., just outside the corporation limits on the south. This building is still far from completion, but probably has already cost more than any other building in the county, and as much as any other two buildings, leaving out the Indian scliopl building on the opposite side of the road. The following is the list: Emmet Kannal, residence on River street, incomplete, estimated $6,000. Separated Butter Co., building and machinery,.ss,ooo. —— : —J J. H. S. Ellis, residence and other improvements, on Front St., $2,250. J. M. Wasson, residence and other improvements, in Kewton’s Addition. SI,BOO. Christian Church congregation, new church building, corner Van Rensselaer and Susan streets, $2,200. Presbyterian Church congregation, minister’s residence and other improvements, $1,200. A. Parkison, tenant house on Cullen street, SBOO. A Leopold, brick agricultural store building, on Van Rensselaer street. SI.OOO. ~ ZZL John , Zimmerman, residence on Cullen street rebuilt and enlarged, S4OO. .. G. E. Marshall, house on Washington and Weston streets moved and and rebuilt, $450. ] E. D. Rhoades tenant house re-; moved and rebuilt, on Front street, S3OO. F. P. Bitters office addition to residence on Yan Rensselaer St, S3OO. j Jas. Flynn, house moved and re- | built on Weston street. In addition to the above, more or less extensive improvements, in the way of additions to houses, new barns A-c, Ac, and costing from SSO to S2OO, have been made by the soling named parties: Cyrus Ball, Mrs. | Jane Shaw, D. A. Stoner, Paris Har- j rison, W. B. Austin, B. Paris, J. T. j Randle, R. W. Marshall, T. J. McCoy, j J. W. McEwen, Wm King, Dr. M. j B. Alter, Mrs. A. W. Bingham, A. j Woodworth, G. M. Robinson, Ed. i Parcels,'Hemphill Bros., E. P. Hammond, A. Leopold. The town itself has made a pretty fair record for the year by greatly extending the sewerage system,, including the big sewer on Washington street, and quite a number of others only less important. The fine stone arch culvert over Make-em-self ditch, on Mara street, is also well deserving of mention in this connection. *» _ Long ife Eger, headquarters for holiday goods. F. Zugbaum, merchant tailor, wishes to give notice to his manj* friends and patrons in Rensselaer and vicinity that' he will close his shop during the dull season of January and February, but will re-open it in March, with a much larger stock of goods, and be prepared to do a much larger business than heretofore. 2tu MONEY! money—W. H. H Graham loans money sums o S3OO and upwards, on long time, a 6 to 7 per cent, interest. Shiloh’s Cure will immediately relieve Croup Whooping Cough and Bronehistis.

Hanging Ui'ovc Items. Most of our teachers attended the Teacher’s Association at Rensselaer, Friday and Saturday. Mr. Alf Randle and his sister, Mrs. ffm McConahay, spent last week visiting relatives in Clinton county. Mr. C. R. Peregrine, of Dunnville, is home this week spending vacation. J. P. Overton went to Crawfordsville last week, courting. Miss Belle Paris is in Lafayette this week visiting friends and rela--tivesu—- ——*-—r Mr. H. P. Overton rejoices over the birth of his first girl, which occured last Saturday. The Christinas tree at Marlboro proved to be a success in every particular.

Zea; a few declamations and a few pieces of instrumental music by tne Marlboro band and lastly a speech Santa Claus, after which the presents, about 300, were distributed. The exercises at Osborne the same evening was somewhat the same and everybody enjoyed a good time at both places. Windy Dick. From Remington. Miss Carrie Courtright, who has been acting as housekeeper for her kinsman Mr. J. E. Stiller was summoned by telegraph to her home in Valparaiso last Friday owing.to the dangerous illness of her father. Miss Alice Hollingsworth stole.<a march on her many friends in this place and was quietly married and on her way to her home in Kansas before such an event was thought of, even by those most intimate with her. • The gentleman in the ease, Mr. Loren E. Hargadine, is a prosperous young farmer, of Kingman county, Kans. and his wife was one of Remington’s best young ladies. The best wishes of many friends are theirs. The Christmas entertainments in the Methodist and Christian churches on Christmas Eve and Christmas nights respectively, were both well patronized and both were very enjoyable. A prominent feature on each occasion was a beautiful and well filled Christmas tree. Frank Hardy acted as Santa Claus at the M. E. church apd Jacob Rich represented him at the Christian church. It is perhaps superfluous to say that both acted their parts splendidly, as did all others who were connected with the entertainments.
