Lucky Oil Spectators.

The excitement in oil circles is still
unabated, and Duquesne way to-day is
alive with dealers. 1t is rumored that
there is giant ring bolstering up the
price of oil, and that before many days
the bottom will fall completely out.
Others deny this and say the advance is
the legitimate demand of German
brokers, who, in anticipation of a still
further rise, are buying freely, and now
find the production in no way sufficient
to meet the demand. However, be this
as it may, reports are in circulation of
immense profits and fortunes some
operators made during the past week
DR., Hostetter, of bitters fame, it is
stated, held personally 100000 barrels,
on which he cleared two dollars per
barrel. A number of operators here who
held 10000 barrels sold yesterday at a
profit of three dollars and thirty cents
per barrel. Sehriver, of OIL City, closely
connected with the pipe lines, has
cleared, it is said, during the past week,
5000, 900. Thum g. Co., brokers, who
hold large Quantity of low.priced oil,
are reported to have cleared on its sale
upward of 100000. Ono broker here
has $4,000 barrels which cost him but

A Remarkable Woman.

A New York correspondent tells of a
remarkable woman in that city who has
made her way from poverty to the prac-
tical proprietorship of upward of half a
million dollars. Susan A. King came
from the same town, a village of Maine,
that Miss Annie Louise Cary did, and
boasts that when she first came to New
York she often had not so much money
as would purchase meal or pay street.
car fare, if there were street-cars in those
days. Her efforts and adventures would
fill a volume, and are very amusing in
the retrospect, though they must have
been anything but funny at the time.
But she had true business instinct and
capacity. She always started something
that would set other people at work; she
had genius for organization, but none for
hand labor. Her fortune has been
amassed in real estate; she has carried
more real estate at one time in the city
of New York than perhaps any other one
person outside of two or three great
holders and operators. Yet she is really
a gentle and tender-hearted woman, hon
est and truthful as the day. 1t has beer
we'll said of heI that she has the head
of man with the heart of woman,
and courage which does not know wha
fear is. She travelled alone and unat
tended throughout China and Japan
penetrating into the interior, ascending
rivers, traversing tea districts, where nj

trod, and receiving everywhere the great
est possible kindness and attention, be
cause, as she herself expresses it, sh'
treated them all, from the lowest to thu

herself. She has now got an Origina

The Globe Democrat has received the

The subjoined are the sickening details
of one of the strangest and most eXtraor-

the seat of White County, is a wild-look-

residents of which are known as Cobbites,
owing to the fact that an old man who
claims to be Christ rules with an iron

the past year, made great many believe
in his doctrine. The principal rendez-

Not Any Longer.

A young man in the Sixth District had
parted his flaxen locks in the most i'm
partial manner; if there was hair more
on one side of his head than on the other
the difference could not be observed. He
had tolerable good tenor voice, and he
had mastered new song. The moon
light shone brightly done on the green
sward in front of the residence which
held the maiden of his heart The youth
crept softly up garden walk, and let
out his soul in the melody, g Darling, I'm
waiting for thee, waiting for thee" He
had hardly completed the second chorus
when a window blind was cautiously
opened, something white was seen by the
light of the moon, and an oldish voice,
not in harmony with the music, said; at
is all right, young man; but you needn't
wait any longer. Maria has gone to bed, ,

upon them were not discontinued, and
the treaty of peace was only so in
name. In 1857 they massacred some
SO whites near. DEVILS Lake, and in
1862, general uprising occurred, dur
ing which, at New Ulm, and other
places, at least a thousand settlers
were killed. They were finally defeat
ed by Gen. Sibley and Sully.
AT the present time, the original
Sioux nation is much scattered. Many
Of the bands who were hostile in 1862,
went north into the British posses
sions, where they still remain. A large

T., 1t may be stated, at this point, that
the government is still in debt to the
Sioux to the amount of several millions
of dollars, whose nOn-payment has
been the cause of considerable dissat-
isfaction. Last year the government
made efforts to purchase the Black
Hills country, bat failed. Red Cloud,
Spotted Tail, and other chiefs visited
Washington in May, and in September
great council was held at Red Cloud
agency, but owing to the exorbitant
price placed on their land by the Sioux
the negotiations failed. Then COM
menced the Eruption of miners, which
fact, being in direct violation of the
treaties; together with a system of
enormous frauds developed at the
Sioux agencies, the deferred payments
due the Sioux, and the efforts made to
force Sitting Bull on the reservations,
resulted in the present outbreak.
Upon no less than three memorable
occasions have the Sioux made thor
ough work with white men. The ex-
termination of Grafton and his COM
mand, in an attack upon Sioux vii
lage in 1854, has already been alluded
to. In December, 1865, Lieut.. Fetter-
terman and his command of over Il
hundred men were attacked near Fort
Phil Kearney, and killed to man.
The case of Custer is the third in
stance in which they have left none to
tell the tale Of the conflict. Unques-
ticnably the Sioux are the best fight
ing material which the Indians have
ever developed. They are superior in
physique and intelligence to the ordi-
nary Indian. Their language has been
thought worth grammar and diction-
airy, and large amount of scriptural
and current literature has been trans
lated into the Sioux language. Sitting
Bull is said to be man of some edu-
cation, who has studied the art or war
as taught by modern leaders, and who
is a good strategist as well as leader.
During the attack on Crook, it is stat
ed that he directed the movements by
means of signals conveyed by the flash
of Il looking glass.

The Sioux, or Dakota, Indians.

The Sioux, or Dakotas, as they are

for more than two centuries. When

were originally known as the Nadowes.

this time. they were broken up in a
long and bloody war with the Chip
pewas, many Of them going further
south, and locating along the banks of
the Mississippi. In 1922 their territory
extended from the Black Hills to the
Mississippi, and from DEVILS Lake. to

failing, as usual, to, carry out the terms

exasperated, and a contest ensued. In

village. and received exactly the same
treatment that did Custer, being ami.

heat takes, away the desire tor wholesome
food, and frequent perspirations, reduce bod
lily energy, particularly those suffering from
the effects OF facilitating diseases. In order
to keep natural healthtul activity of the
system, we must resort to artificial means.
For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
Is very etfectual A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the eneryated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in it's nature
is totally different from such drugs. 1t con-
tains no corrosive minerals:or acids in fact
it assists the regular operations of nature,
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in
it's nature so much resembles the gastric
juice that it is almost identical with that fluid.
