General Crook Holds a Council tUfth
the Sf0isc chiefs at Camp Rob

CAMP ROBINSON, NEB., May 25.-At noon
to-day the principal warriors of this agency,
to the number of six hundred, were passed
in review by Gen. Crook. Lieutenant Clark
formed the line on the plain, east of the
agency buildings, Gen. Crook taking his
station in front Of the center. The Indians
were broken into a column of eighteen
platoons, and executed the march past in
good style. Having been sgain wheeled into

of Gen. Crook, where they dismounted

ale, and an interval of silence ensued while
the Indians arranged their order of pre-
cedencein speaking, and the council was
then opened by Crazy Horse, who is notably
a man of few words. Seating himself on the
ground in front of the General, he spoke in
a low voice, as follows:
"You sent tobacco to my camp to invite me
to come. When the tobacco reached me
started, and kept on moving until I reached
you. Ever since my arrival my face has
been turned toward the fort and
my heart has been happy. In coming this

the place, and I would like them all to g

Crazy Horse was followed by Young Maj
Afraid, Red Cloud, No Water, Iron Hawk
and others, who spoke at greater or les
length to the same effect, all expressing
desire to abide by the decisions of tn
authorities in all matters, and to behav'
themselves in the future.

An extraordinary Tragedy.

Spalatzo, in the Austrian province of
Dalmatia, wa a few weeks ago the scene
of amostextraordinary tragedy. Oppo-
site the Parish church lived a
householder named Tonic, VINO
becoming suddenlya prey to mad rage,
killed his wife and then his father, who
had attempted to restrain him. When
the police came they found that Tonic
had everywhere effectually barred an
entry and taken up a commanding posi-
ton with a musket and plenty of ammu-
milton. They were, therefore, compelled
to turn back, and meanwhile Tonic put
a bullet through a young man who
crossed the street, and severely wounded
a woman. The police then drew a cor
don around the house, but Tonic's mus
ket commanded the space between his
house, the church, and the top of the
adjacent streets, and no one dared cross
the street or approach the body of the
young man.. Atlength a clergyman who
had great influence with Tonic bravely
went forward and implored him to give
up 70 his care his little child. The faith
ers answer to this appeal was by throw
ing out her limbs one by one! Then he
resumed his fusilade. The authorities
would not allow the police to fire, mas
much as they deemed the man bereft of
reason. So the only course was to con-
tinue the blockade. Ali sorts of devices
were suggested. Some were for firing on
Tonic with Supplying cartridges, others
for concentrating the f~re-engine force on
the house, and all this time the unhappy
sexton of the parish was sending up
from the bell tower a wall for food, he
having gone up to ring the bell just be-
fore the tragedy began, and his only
mode of egress being in front of the
maniac's window. After the blockade
had lasted two days and Tonic showed
no signs of giving in, it was resolved to
keep up a perfect hailstorm of stones at
all the windows of the house while the
door was forced. The mailman flew to
the garrett, where it was no easy matter
to disarm without killing him. Alto
gether, he had killed four, and wounded
five.

SURVIVAL of the Fittest,,

The ingenious doctrine p~ropounded by
Mr.. Darwin, the ~tireless investigator of ma
ture and her laws, is as applicable in deter
mining the fate OF medicines as in that of the
animal species. Every year new remedies
are brought before the public, and are soon
completely discarded as their sale rapidly
decreases. Only those medicines which are
best suited to the peoples wants survive the
first test. If they "are tried, and found
wanting" in the merits which they are
claimed to possess, no amount of advertising
will make them popular. Ofall the remedies
ever introduced to the public, none are SO
popular as DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines.
Their sale has steadily increased each year,
and wholesale druggists assert that the
present demand for them is greater than
ever before. If you would patronize med.
