~ | INDIANA HAPPENINGS. | E—- — EVENTS AND INCIDENTS THAT HAVE o LATELY OCCURRED, _— ‘ An Interesting Summary of the More im- ' fi:‘ i portant Doings of Our Neighbors~wed. ; ~ dings and Deaths—Crimes, Casualtios and l ~ General News Notes. e Is it a Swindle or Not? . James Christie, a well-known young famer, living near Fletchers Lake, - went to Logansport the other day nnd‘ ~ obtained SBOO from the banks on notes ~ on which are forgedthe names of prom- I ~ gnent farmers living in his neighbor- -, hood. Christie then called on an in- ~ gurance agent and took out g policy of ~ $5,000 on his life. While the policy i . -was being written up Christie purchased ~ .asuit of clothes, shoes, hat, ete, Goingi home he gave the policy to his wite and ; ~ate bivsupper. About 8 o’clock a neigh- ~ Dbor’s voy called and the two went swim- - ming in the lake near by. Christie i ~ .gwam out into deep water before his | . .companion undressed. In a few mo.- % -+ ments Christie called to his friend on | .~ the bank, saying that he had the cramps ‘ and to get a boat near by and come to | ~ his rescue. The boat was secured, but ' «Christie had disappeared. When his ! companion returned alarm was given, | - and the lake was dragged for two days | ond nights in search of the bodv. - Christie’s clothes on the bank were ’ - found where he took them off, and un- | touched tracks were discovered of a { bare-footed man going toward Christie's | house from the Ilake. A peculiar- l shaped toe which marked itself in the i foot-prints, and which tallies with | «Christie’'s foot, settles the fact in the | minds of the neighbors that Christie ‘ made his way home naked while his | friend was getting the boat, and, don- ' ning the new outfit whicn he purchased, : he left the country. Christie was | heavily in debt and he doubtless rea- | soned that his plans wers so well laid I that his death would be accepted as a «certainty without question, and that his | family would receive the insurance i money to help them out of the financial ! -difficulties in which ha had left them. | He has doubtless gone to the far West, ‘ where he has relatives. and where he @ften slid he was going some time. | Prominent Merchant Killed. ‘ An accident in which one of Rushwille's most prominent business men lost his life, and another one was seri- i cously hurt, occurred at that place. Mr. W. J. Mauzy, of the Mauzy Company, i i dry goods merchants. was driving a| young horse along the street, when al piece of loose paper was turned over by | ‘the wind, at which the horse took fright | and immediately started to run. Mr. f ‘Charles Hugo, who was riding in the | -cart with Mr. Mauzy, was thrown vio- | lently to the ground and received very l @erious bruises. Mr. Mauzy was thrown from the cart as the horse turned the «corner, and after being hurled to a! height often feet intheairalightedupon | . his head on the stone curbing and : fractured his skull in five places, from | ‘which wounds he died. Mr. Mauzy was in the prime of an active business life. l He had just received a policy in thei amount of $5,000 from the New York ! Life, and carried $3,000 in the Royal] Arcanum. ' Minor State items, —Ferdinand Burgman, of Logansport, was assaulted by foot-pads and badly‘ used up. ' —Qil was “struck” at Greencastle, and | the proprietors of the gas well feel ' greatly encouraged. ‘ —(Columbus has granted a street-rail- | way franchise to John 8. Crump. Four miles of track will be laid. ! . The new stock scales of Marshal | Alger, at Wabash, were blown up with l dynamife by unknown parties. % —Patrick Barry, whose home is at ; ‘Chieago, sat on the Monon track at Ash f {Grove. His injuries are thought to be | fatal. ! —Milroy Sexton, a young man, was| instantly killed while loading saw-logs, | a few days ago, in Wheattield Township, | Jasper County. One log slipped and’ crushed him to death. i —¥d. Williams at Lagro, was drowned | while swimming. He was seized with§ ccramps and sank in eight feet of water. ’ The body was in the water over half an | hour before it was recovered. l —The safe at the Road House, atthe I Soldiers’ Home near Marion, was blowg| «open and robbed of eighteen dollars.l The proprietor shot half a dozen times l at the robbers, but missed them. —The Brazil City Council, by a tie vote, the Mayor deciding, v'oteL} to in- f crease the retail liquor license from | 100 to $250, the full limit. Thirty sa- l loons are affected, every Sflioou‘keoperi being oppesed. e —The game law prohibiting shootln'g | squirrels expired last week, and lmtlli Dec. 15, the little animals can be shot ‘ without violation of the law. The game | is upusually plentiful in the woods ofi Harrison, Crawford, and other southetn' counties. | —Mary Hansheer, a well-known voung lady of Lafavette, has been for two weeks lying in what appears to be a state of intermittent coma. Shel awakes for an heur or so a co_llple Ofl times o day, partaking of nourishment and conversing rationally. I’hysxclanSi are at sea. { —Rafus Q. Lhaman, of Steele, Adams ' County, aged 22, and a student of the Indiana State Normal at Covington, was drowned in Wabash River, below town, while in swimming with five other students. Lhaman, J. P. Holmes, of Adams County, J. E. McKinley,' ofi Hlinocig, all stepped off a sand-bar into | a deep hole, and as none of them could ; BWim, cries of help attracted aid, but before they conld be rescued Lhaman Wwas drowned. Holmes was taken out uncosscions, and McKinney also had a Very nurrow egcape. .

Porte County, was taken with & violent it of vomiting, and during ‘s ‘severe struggle, a small lizard was ejected from his stomach. The animal was dead and i %:“ftr_“l“)‘ encysted. It is supposed that e swallowed it about two years ago While drinking water, as he has suffered ' a great deal of pain in the region of the ! stomach about that length of time. The long retention of the animal had poi- ' soned Mr. Lingard's entire system and i his death ensu.ed ina few hours. He was an old resident, having lived in the | county forty-eight vears, ‘ —William Strothen, four miles southl east of Paoli, was taken from his home i by a band of masked men, whipped in . an outrageous and brutal manner, and i notitied that if he did -.ot leave within one week he would be hung. Strothen | Was whipped in much the same manner ! Some two months ago, and claimed to i recognize his assailants, against whom l he cemmenced a prosecution beforea | magistrate, which was dismissed, and it , was understood that he would lay the | matter before the coming session of the 5 ! grand jury. He claims to have recognized his assailants as the same who} l first whipped him. There is consider- | able excitement over the matter and itl % will be fully investigated. ‘ . Drs. Bunker, Mowd, Yoris, Arwin, MciLeod and one or two others, overated | on Samuel Waltzs, a farmer of Franklin ] Couunty, toremove a tumor of immense growth that had been forming on one lof his legs for thirty years. It had atl tained immense proportions, being two feet long, one foot in diameter and nearly as wide. Mr. Waltzs, who had I consulted pbysicians in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and other cities, was in[formed that amputation was the only hope. The leg was taken off atthe Ithigh, and it with the tumor weighed ififty-five pounds, more than one-third | the weight of the entire body. He stood | the operation well, but the result canl not be determined for several days. ;: — When William Plummer, who lives | one mile south of Greenfield, drove in | i his little 4-vear-old daughter, Nelly, ‘ | ran to meet him. Mz Plummer had un- ! hitched his team and started to the 5 barn, when a dangling trace-chain caught on an ironboitin the end of the | tongue and, jerking, frightened the | horses so that they jumped and ran, | l dragging the heavy roller upon the i front part of which the little girl'bad i seated herself. She wasthrown beneath j the roller and crushed to death, her neck being broken. Death followed allmost instantly. Mr. Plummer, when he saw the intminent danger of his child, threw himself before the roller, and it ! passed partially over him, but didnot ! save her. Mr. and Mrs. Plummer are i almost crazed with grief. l —Three years ago the steamer La Mas- | cotte, owned by Captains Durland and Il’orkins of Evansville, was burned at | Cape Girdean and a number of lives i lost. Among them was Roy Perkins, { the first clerk, who attempted to leave ]the boat with a large quantity of gold | and silver in a belt around the waist. | His body was never found. The other i day Capt. Perkins received a telegram ! from-a young lady friend of the family, | who resides in Washington, stating that { on a visit to one of the hospitals she !hud found Roy lying dangerously ill, ! and, though he denied his identity, ke | finally confessed. Immediately upon ' I'ecei{)t of this, Capt. Perkins lerft 'for i Washington. It is thought that Perkins : was injured in the wreck and has only § now recovered his reason. ' o [ —While the Rev. Charles Morris, 01; ! Evansville, dean of the southern convo- ' cation, was en route to Indianapolis t'O | i attend the diocesan convention, he fell ! into the hands of confidence men. ‘ | Shortly after leaving Terre Haute a | man s'itting in the front end of the ‘ ' coach was apparently seized with a ter- | rible fit. The Rev. Br. Morris’ sym- | | pathy was aroused at once, and he went Eforwmurd to lend his assistance. After | | rubbing the fellow's head for some time 1 1: his struggles ceased, and the ministex § started to return to his seat. The man | was immediately seized with uno.th.e) | fit. and Dz. Morris again went to minist ter to his wants. This time the fit was | of short duration, and the Rev. D_r. | | Morris was soon able to return to pul ‘ seat, only to find that his grip, contain- 1 | ine his vestments and reports, had been | st,(;'len by an accomplice of the man ‘whg . had the fits.

e R —— e E—— y ' r THE FURY OF A STORM. e —————————— AN IOWA INSTITUTION WRECKED BY THE WIND. The State Institute for Feeble-Minded Nearly Demolished by the Gale—fwo of the Inmates Killed and Several Injured ' —Damage Elsewhere. Des Moines (Iowa) dispateh: Inastorm which burst with terrible tury over western Towa the rain fell in torrents, the wind in some localities reached the force of & tornado, and the electric displuy was dazzlingly brilliant and awe inspiring. The greatest damage scems to have been done at Glenwood. The State Institute for Feeble Minded is located there and was a heavy sufferer. The boiler house and laundry were demoiished; the tall chimney was blown down and came crashing through the roof into the dormitories where the im}mtes were sleeping, killing two and injuring six others. The killed are: WILLIE CLINE, of Clark coant!r. WESLEY EMERY, of Monroe coiinty. The injured are: JOHN SWALLOE. Dubuque. WiLnie BRATHER, Wayne county. FrED WrIGHT, Fort Dodge. Eppie Sweer, Lee county. HENRY SNYDER, Benton county. SAM ASKINS, Council Bluils. ! Several of the injured are not expected 1o recover. - The flour mill at Glenwood was wrecked and the canning factory demolished. It was the worst storm in the history of the city. At Atlantic the wind blew down the amphitheater at the fair grounds and several small dwelling houses in the town. A great many fruit and «shade trees were blown down in the city, and a nnmber of bridges on the Nishnabotna were washed out. Three buildings were blown from their foundations at Exira and several persons had narrow escapes. At Council Blufls cellars were flooded { and culverts washed out. The contigu- ' ous country is inundated and crops in general are badly damaged and in some cases destroyed. The rain about Des Moines was very heavy, but no great | damage was done. | { Dubuque (Iowa) dispatch: One of tim! [ most violent storms that has visited this l section for' years has, just passed over | Dubugue. The rainfail amounted al- ‘ i most to a flood. The Burlington & ‘ l Northern track between this ecity and 1 Galena was washed away for a distance of over two miles. A double-header ‘ freight belonging to the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City railroad, which operates over the Northern between Dubuque and Galena Junction, ran into a wash-ont near Menominee at 2 o'clock this morning. The first engine passed safely over the ditch, but the second went down, sinking deep into the mud. The freight cars telescoped each other. The engineer of the second engine miraculouslylescaped, but the fireman, E. B. Dale received mortal injuries and died in fifteen minutes. DBrakeman Williams also received injuries from which he will die. FForty cars were smashed in the wreek. The storm was so severe and the lightning so incessant that the engineer could not seo the signal of the track walker who flagged the train. CROP BULLETIN. Ilinois Winter Wheat Practically Destroved—oOutlook in New York, Springlield (Iil.) dispateh: The June i crop bulletin of the State Department of | Agriculture contirms previous reports as to the condition of winter wheat. The ’ crop is practically destroyed. Corn and | nearly all other field products promise | well. ‘ New York dispatch: Tho State { meteorological bureau has issued a re- | port which says: **ln the central and i northern counties the cessation of heavy rains has been of great benefit to vegetation, and the outlook for spriug grain and garden vegetables has t become more favorable. The tem- { perature during the week has been too ' low, however, for the best growing i weather. Through tue Southern and ! Southwestern tier of counties, and those i along the Upper Genesee river, the con- | ditious have changed but little during | the week: a vigorous growth of grass, | wheat and rye obtains on the uplands, | while along the water courses great local damage to crops has been sustained. , Several stations in the region of heavy i rainfal report that grass is turning yellow " and has a tendency toward a spindling | erowth:; but generally throughout the ! State this eropis very vigorous. The fruits have developed well during the | week. The appie crop is exceedingly | zood in the western counties, and about é an average yield for the State may be i expected. Strawberries, grapes aud [ small fruits have ‘improved during the | week and promise well. . ‘ FIGHTING CHICAGO BEEF. The National Butchers’ Association in the Field Against Western Magnates. Pittsburg dispatch: The Natioral Butchers’ Association is preparing to make a last desperate effort to rid itself of the Chicagzo dressed beef incubus. The move in progress has for its object the consolidation of the various butchers’ organizations and all agricultural interests, including the Farmers’® Alliance. The corsolidation | proposes to drive out of the business all ! butchers who handie dressed beef. A I committee has already been appointed, i and is quietly at work. This will be a final stroke to crush the Western dressed beef magnates, and no sum will be sgparcd to malge it successful. Secretary Noble Will Not Resign. Washington dispatch: Secretary No- { ble likes public life and he isn’t go- | ing to resign his position in the Cabinet. [ The only thing that could tempt him f would be a place on the & ,reme Bench. The attention of the Secretary was called to-day to the rumor that he was going to resign in order to :u'ccpt a ! position as attorney for a leading West- { ern railroad. He said there was no { foundation whatever for the rumor, and | that if he intended to resign it would | not be to accept any position that a | railroad company could offer him. I Tur auditor of pubiic accounts of lilinois has issued a statement sho\‘viug | that the forty-¢wo banks 1n the State | doing business under the State laws are {in a prosperous condition. The total amount of their resources is $60,881,000. Srx cars and the engine were smashed in a wreck on the New York, Pennsyl- | vania & Ohio road near Springfield, ; | Ohio.

N ACYCLONEINNEBRASKA BRADSITAW, YORK COUNTY, OBLITERATED FROM THYE EARLVH, Not a Single Building Left in the Place— Seven of Its Citizens Killed and Many Hurt — Cloud-Burst in lowa - Storng Elsewhere. Lincoln (Neb.) dispatch: The most diswstrous cyclone that has visited the West for yearsruined the town of Bradshaw, York county. ‘l'his morning there is not one building left standing and hardly one stone upon another. Among the ruins were lying the dead bodies of the storm’s vietims, and frightened people with blanched faces moved among their wrecked homes secing on every hand but black., gaving holes in the earth where but a few hours before had been the cozy houses of a happy people. The fury of the wind that wrought this terrible devastation must have been appalling. The shapeless wreck, the country iaid waste, the village in ruins and the bodies of the dead that have been recovered, together with the many wounded and suflfering, formed a picture full of horror and despair. Tho storm came from the southwest and with searcely a moment’s warning. The roar of the whirlwind was the first notice the terrified people had. Every business house was made a total wreek, and the principal street filled with ruins. The depot building was crushed into kindling wood, and every car standing there was wrecked except once that was loaded with stock, and which was blown without leaving the track to York, a distance of nine miles, The dead and injured were quickly found by the people, and a courier was dispatched at flying speed to York for assistance. By the time the relief trains arrived from York. the people had collected together and found the following dead: | JOHN MILLER. C'hild of Tsaace Penner, living in the county. MRS, PENNER. Child of Mr. Chapin, MRS. ""NKE and child. JOHN CLARKE. Mr. Minke's hired man, ANNIE and JOHUN SHAW, children of Fronk Shaw, living in the country. , The work has been extended in | searching for the results of the storm to i the surrounding country, and southwest of Bradshaw five miles it wus found that the house of John Scott had been directly in the center of the storm and that in his family three children were killed. In the immediata vicinity also the house of a Russian tamiiy has been totally demolished and ' the mother and one child were found dead in the wreckage. Along the track lnf the storm, which was half a mile in l\\'id”l. trees were inrooted, fences

leveled, and crops utterly destroved. Dead stock was found in many pilaces, showing that nothing living had any chance for escape from the fury of the elements. Council Bluffs (Towa) dispateh: At about 11 o'clock a dense cloud passed over the town of Underwood, a2 smaii place on the Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, twelve miles from this city. Soou after a flood of water came rushinx down the Mosquito Valley, destroying everything in its path. The clonud had burst but a short distance from Underwood, but residents of that place were warned by a terrific noise,and most of them managed to escape to the hiils, In less that thirty minutes the Milwaukee railroad track was covered to a depth of fifteen feot, all the stores and dwellings in the Western part of the place were torn from their foundations, and no less than thirty-five families lost ' their all. There were many narrow escapes, and but for the heroism and bravery of people who reside near the Rock [sland depot many women and children iwuuld have been lost. They hastliy constructed rafts and rescued people from xoofs ot houses and S6eC-ond-story windows. The Milwaukee depot was submerged. The storm l swept on down the valley, but farmers were apprised of its approach and escaped, but hundreds of cattle, hogs, and sheep, many barns and dwellings, and stacks of hav were swept away. | { Both roads lost over e'ght miles ' !of ftrack and no less than five bridges each. This immense volume of . water reached this city at 5 o'clock and spread over the low lands: highways were badly damaged, and at I 8 e'clock there was eight feet of water in the first stories of houses ncar the ' river. Q Avoca (lowa) dispatch: A heavy { rainfall has flooded this locality, I accompanied by hail, high winds {and lightning. The Botna Valley now carries a stream one to two miles wide, while it is ordinarily not over uwenty feet wide. A large amount of I stock will be lost and many small losses ’ from wind and lightning are reported. Extensive washouts on the railroads are reported between here and Council Bluffs, Fort Dodge (Towa) dispatech: A destructive cyclone started northeast of this city between Badger and Vincent. It worked its way along the Boone river, destroying everythiing in its path. At Renwick a man was killed and several houses destroyed. The big iron bridge near Renwick was also blown awavy. Zumbrota SMinn.) disprtch: A terrific storm has occurred here. In forty minutes the stream which runs througf the center of this viilage had risen to such & height that residents had to fly for their lives. Houses, barns, horses, and poultry were swept away. P. 8. Tiegler’'s barn containing ten teams was carried a mile down stream. The Zumbro river is rising rapidly and fears are entertained for people on the ' main Zumbro below here. The damage along the ronte of the storm is very .arge. A rumor comes from Miliville thrt five persons were swept away and drowned. Ackley (Iowa) dispateh: A ecloundburst has occurred here, and the water fell in sheets for several hours. Bridges and culverts on railroads and aighways are washed out.

B D9B SRAT LA N TN o THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.| UNTERTAINING DISSERTATION ON |, SERIOUS SUBJECTS. ‘ 4 Pleasant, Interesting, and Instructive |. Lesson and Where It May Be Found—A | Learned and Concise Review of the Same. The lesson for Sunday, June 15, may be found in Luke 12: 13-21. INTRODUCTORY, | We have here one of a reries of open- | air sermons. Never before nor since | perhaps were such crowds gathered to hear a single man., Peter the her- | mit had his thousands, Whitefield his five thousands. This one had, as the opening verso of the chapter indicates (see margin to Revision), his ten thousands, It was a great opportunity for the proclumation of the truth; a time to speak plainly and impressively into the listening ear of the world. What the Prince of heaven says on such an occasion may well engage our reverent attention, WHAT . THE LESSON SAYS, One of the company. Literally, one out of the crowd. It was a great throng. The first verse of the chapter says myriads were gathered.——Said to him. The topics of Christ's discourse here secm to have been suggested either by wants made immediately munifest or by questions proposed on the spot. He has | just been speaking of hypocrisy, then of the counter spirit of sincerity. Now he takes up cupidity.——Master or teacher. This was not necessariiy one of his dis- | ciples, though probably one who hadl come to inquire.——Speak to my brother | that he divide. The simple Greek is, | tell my brother to divide,——The inheri- | tance, or patrimony. The root of the | word means lot. He wished a change in | the usages of primogeniture. | Man. There is a shade of rebuke in | the language.—-—DMade me, or appointed, | in official relations.——A judge. One ’ whose place it is to settle earth’s dis- | putes.——Divider, or apportioner. A | kind of arbitrator.——Over you. Christ | is not in this dispensation a judge or | divider over us but in us. Received into | loval hearts he becomes the world’s great | arbitrator and divider; not from outward | force, but inward love. 1 My soul. The life principle. (Psyche.) | ~——Much goods, or many good things. ' ——DLaid up for many days. As if the things of earth were held by indis- l soluble links.——Take thine ease. Lit- | erally, be at rest.——Be merry. As one | might who had nothing to fear, : Thou fool. More accurately, unwise. | He had not planned with even ordinary sagacity.——Required of thee. To de-i mand back., As of a thing lomed.-———-’ Whose, or for whom.——Provided. Laid | by for himself, fallen to others. ‘ Laveth up treasure. Our word. thesau- |

TTV AT TDN SR RTROR SEOR.C.7o /. |TR L S T SN, | WRIPRERAp SR I rus, comes from this verb.——For him- | self. This man was not, as some are | doing, laying up for posterity, but for his own earthly appetites, which in a moment were cut off.——Rich toward God, or unto GGod (eis). Our treasure deposited with God. (Matt. 6: 19-21; James 2:5.) WHAT THE LESSCN TCACHES. E Master, speak to my brother that he ‘ divided. Some men seem to have no higher conception of the privileges and prero2atives of the Christian life. The ! church, in their notion of it, was formed | but to secure them their rights in this | ~world, We used to know a rural pastor l who was in a state of perpetual grievance - over somo slight, some impo-.ition or ‘ other. We mnever heard him say a word ; regarding the blessings of God upon his life and work. We doubt whether he renlized any. He was so taken up with dividing old fancied inheritances. So it 1s with grasping qlftor earthly things, we miss almost whelly the real inheritance | in the skies. | Tak: heed and beware of covetousness. T.et the world hear the warning. Let the | church give heed. No sin is more crying 1 to-day than the sin of covetousness. Christ foresaw the evil and he threw forward this word of admonition perhaps for the sake of our nineteemth century. | We have come to an age of greataccumu- | lations, ‘an age that has its peculiar tem;l)- J‘ tations. Wealth is a good thing, rightly used, Wrongly used, the whole thought | concentrated upon it, it is the root of all ‘ evil. Beware of it. Be eki@eding]y careful, for before one knows it the poi- ' son has begun its work. See Christ looking at us to-day out es serious though tender eyes andsaying, “Bew ra of covetousness.” Man, who made me a judgs or divider over you? The glory which is Christ’s is . something other, something vastly highI or, He cculd have come and made him- ‘ self by divine right an arbiter and a dictator, But he had larger, infinitely larger, des‘gns. When we appeal to him on this point he looks at ns and says, “He that will save his life sliall lose it, and he that will lose his life shall preserve it.” That is the way Christ divides. He cuts right between us and the world, severing us from all possessions. And then when we stand there stripped of all things, with nothing—he fraely gives us all things. He divides his own inheritance with us What shall I do? It is & good question. Lat our men of means take it under consideration. ©@nly let them be very careful how they enswer, what shall we do with the money God has given? How can we best employ it? This man responded to the query in utter gelfishness, “I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.” Do you see how everything was centered in self? Soul, my soul, take thine ease; ext, drink and be merry: Fool! The human soul is a very small thing, unenlarged of God; a very weak thing, unhelped of GGod. Intrust to such a cupboard and you wili lose all you have, Put out to heaven’s usury, use for soul's good and God will bless. Yriend, i what are you doing with your talent? Rich toward God. Who are the wealthy of earth? The truly rich? At the An. I niversary meetings Joanna Moore, standing, simply clad and modest, before the va~t congregation, but with a bright smile upon her face and a joyous hallelujah in her heart, did not represent large possessions of earth. Likely as not, she had no more than would take her to her distant Louisiana home. (Somehow her little “Hope” accounts always just balance.) No matter. She was the wealthiest woman on the platform, and there was not a little thers represented. She was rich toward God, and those who i looked and saw could not but envy such possession, ‘ Next lesson.—“ Trust in our Heavenly ] Father.” Luke 12: 22.34, Ax important application of electricity is the range finder, employed for nautical and military purposes, which gives accurate indications of the distance of objects on any and all bearings, and does not interfere in anv way with the working of the ship. 1t i 3 expected this invention will increase the ease and value of fleet evolutions. ' THE money annually spent for cosmetics by the women of this country would paint 17,000 houses, allowing $75 for each house.

The Northern Cheyennes have been plotting against agency oflicials and settiers for the last two years, and recently have added to the excitement by attempting to leave the reservation in considerable bands to meet the new Messiah, who, it was stated, would appear on the reservation of the Piegans. Being checked by Aroops from carrying out their plans they became greatly enraged and openly threatened to murder all who opposed them. They purchased firearms wherever they could obtain them, and a few nights since assassinated Henry S. Ferguson, a leading stock grower, near the agency. Being apprehensive of arrest, the reds have banded together and literally sleep on their firearms. Settlers in the vicinity of the agency are almost wholly without protection, and many of them have abandoned their homes and fled to Miles City and other neighboring towns. The feeling against the whites has been bitter ever since Swordbearer and five of his followers were Kkilled in a I fight with the regulars three years ago | and settlers have petitioned to have the | Cheyenues removed to the Indian Ter- [ ritory. Two companies of cavalry are[in readiness to move on receipt of | orders trom Gen. Ruger at St. Paul, in i command of the Department of Dakota. . Near the scene of the Custer massacre | four men were killed by the Indians a few days ago. Shawano (Wis.) dispatch: The troubla | on the Keshena Indian Reservation, or- ] iginally precipitated by the change of ‘ agents, has reached such a point that little short of a miracle will prevent a i meeting of armed forces of the government on the one hand and the Indians |on the other. \While reports sent out from this city have been great]ly exaggerated, the fa\gts iuro of sufficient importance to causa y the gravest apprehension for the safety | of those whose business keeps them on [ the reservation, The other dav the feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated, and i in consequence the Indians assembled at Keshena in large numbers to attend i“l{‘ church. At the conclusion of the | services the women withdrew and the

| bucks, priests and ex-Agent Jennings | held a conference. As a result Jonnings went back to the reservatioun. Agent Kelsey, the newly appointed Indian agent, who, with lunspector Chisney, was compelled to leave the | reservation, returned, while ex-Agent | Jennings held the fortat Keshena. There t is no doubt that had not Kelsey left the reservation when he did he would have Isufl'vrm. at the hands of the reds, as { tne Indians were under the influence of | whisky and were greatly excited. The other evening Mr. Savage, at whose place the new agent was board- ‘ ing, came to Mr. Kelsey and told him i hie could not keep him any louger, as | the Indians would come that night and | tear his house down if he did. Not- | withstanding the fact that it was rain- | ing heavily Agent Kelsey was foreed to | procure a team and drive to Shawano [ that night in a blinding storm. | That same afternoon one of the priests | came to Inspeetor Chisney and told him ] he better leave the reservation if he wished to avoid trouble and liability of being injured. 9 It is reported that a conspiracy exists to eject Agent Kelsey and all Government officials bodily from the teservation. The ringleaders to the number of seven are said to be carrying into execution the will of the priests. It is given out that troops will be or- ‘ dered here from Fort Snelling. It is most difticult to arrive at a logical conl clusion as to the cause of the uprising. i Without question Jennings is popular with the Indians, but whether or not he ] has directly excited them in this de- ! fiance of government autherity is mergs |ly a matter of conjecture. Lumber | men of this city attribute this troubls | in 4 weastre to the fact that the In- ! dians are laboring under the hallucination that a change of agents means that [ they will eventually lose all their lands | and money and that the change is mads | for the express purpose of benefiting a | few rich lumbermen in the State who l are trying to secure their pine. ‘ An effort will be made to have several I Wisconsin lumbermen who have dealt - I largely with the Indians visit them at once and attempt to show them their folly in resisting the change of agents. However, many are of the opinian that blood will be shed before the Indians l can be brought to a proper rcalization of the situation. !
