A Cool Mother.

A few days ago lady in Sixth Ward
was making molasses candy for her child
dren. While removing the melted liquid
from the stove, her little boy in his haste
to obtain his portion, stumbled against his
mothers elbow, upsetting the dish ever
her hand, burning her in frightful
manner. She Immediately whipped her
hand up in cotton handkerchief and satu-
sated it with bottle of Wolcott's Pain
Paint, keeping it constantly wet with the
remedy. The RESULT was more than won-
derfal; ii not only stopped all pain in
very short time, but her hand did not even
blister, and the next day was apparently
as well as ever, with The exception of two
small places where the skin was actually
Lurned off at the time OF the accident.
She says that with his remedy, she never
fails in removing Headache. Toothache
and Neuralgia within a few minutes by

rheumatism, healing Ulcers and sores
of long standing. without causing any
pain in in direct application; OH the con

Fire at LeMars.

The Depot and Hotel building at LIE
Mars was burnt on Saturday morning.
The fire was caused by the explosion of a
kerosene lamp in one of the rooms. A
general alarm was immediately given nd
Babcock extinguishers were freely used
but all efforts proved of no avail, and in
less than an hour from the discovery Of
the fire the building was entire destroy
ed. Every room except two was occupied
The loss is estimated ut 5000. The
boarders saved their effects mostly, but
Mr.. Emery the proprietor lost heavily. =
The Railroad freight was nearly all saved
The Ticket Agent J. H. Rudy lost some
cash that had been left in the drawer over
night. The building was owned by the
Iowa Land Company, but the loss prin-
cpal'y falls on the Illinois Central Rail
road Company. 1t is supposed that only
the Depot will be rebuilt.

Col. A. B. Meacham, Of this city, has
within a few days visited Washington
On account of his long and intimate ac-
quaintanc with Indian affairs and charac
ter, he was requested by the board of In
dian commissioners to attend them on a
visit to the president and among other
matters to lay before him the proposition
Of peace commission composed OF civil
liais TO visit Sitting Bull, assuring the
president that such commission. author
lied by government to treat with Sitting
Bull in formal and friendly manner,
would certainly avert the threatened war.
The urgency Of the board and the elo
quence of the colonel alike seemed los,
upon the president, who appeared dispos-
ed think that no dependence could be
placed upon any pledge the Indians might
give, and that as he believed Sitting Bull
was determined on war, steps had been
taken to meet him The friends Of hui
manity will certainly feel grieved on sc.
count Of this decision.
Col. Meacham called the attention of
the president to the fact that there isproof
positive that every treaty formally and
solemnly ratified between the United
States and the Indians, If broken, has been
broken by the whites and not by the red
skins-and that it is the treuohery OF the
whites that it is shedding Indian blood
Maj Ingalls,, our general missionary for
Indians, fully symphathizes with Col
Meacham's position and adds: Treat the
Indians like man and he is man; treat
him like an enemy and he is an enemy, &c
donvert HIM costs 800, to kill him $4,000

Cheyennes that were removed to the IN
dian Territory are heartily sick of theil
location, and their chief Interpreter proph
estes that TIE warriors are determined tC
leave and join Sitting Bull; and he thinks
that they will in predatory bands from the
Indian Territory and, joining the ARA
phoes, raid through the western frontier
Of Kansas and that portion Of Nebrask q
where it would be almost impossible to
move troops against them before they
would be enabled to cross the Platte and
put themselves out of the way Of success

prophesles that we will have biggest In

When he left the agency they were hold
ing q grand medicine pow-wow previous
to leaving. The Chcyennes and Arapa-
hoes can muster about three thousand
warriors.
1t is we'll to consider these matters in a
reasonable manner. There is more occas-
ion for apprehension now than in 1861,
when the Minnesota massacre opened the
ball, which was as unexpected as a clap
Of thunder from clear sky, but the Gov
ernment is better prepared now than then,
and Is not distracted with a civil war
within her borders. The attention Of the
War Department is promptly directed to
these hostile movements, as orders are
made for troops above us to be in imme-
diatc readiness for moving.
Although some deprcdations will doubt
less be committed, our military forces will
be ample, and will beyond question be so
disposed as to confne the troubles and
engagements within the borders of the
hostile country, so that the settled por-
tons have no occasion to fear any injury
to them.

E. E. Carpenter OF BeIoit was down yes
terllay in conference with the officers Of
the Sioux City Il Pembina railroad, in re-
gard to speedy work on the extension Of
that road Mr. Welch, prominent con,
tractor, has taken u contract to put the
present grade between Portlandville and
Calllope in condition to receive the tics
and iron A big slide four miles this side
of Caliope will need considerable atten
slightly washed out since the grade was
built.
Engineer NASH aud corps will leave this
city to-day to 60 out and locate the posi-!
ton for the bridge over the Big Sioux riy
er, at a point somewhere about four miles
above (alIiope, and also to locate bridges
on the present work between Portlandvillc
and Calliope. AS soon as he has complet
ed that work, the engineer will run the
line between Caliiope and Beloit, an.
within a wee, the bridge builders will
commeIce erecting the bridges between
PortlAndvillc and Caliope. Within thirty
days that part of the road will be ready
for the iron.
The contract Of the Messrs Carpenter and
one or two associated with them, calls for
locating the line between Calliope and Be

iron, and they will have dirt flying as soon
as the surveyors line is run.

More Excitement.

The completion of the survey of the
new line as run from Sheldon to Tom
Sargents place, crossing the Rock below
Bellowsf1clds, the Sioux below and again
at Fairvicw, and also west Of Fred Keeps
house, and terminating at point between
the places Of Sargents and B0yces has in
stead of quieting matters relative to the
probable route Of this road occasioncd
disagreeable suspense on the pat Of the
citizens of Canton and Belolt, as this line
if built upon will leaye both places out
and leave it in the power Of the company
to select the place for the building Of a
Town. But we are net 9f the opinion tha.
such will be the case. If this was the
first skirmish we had eyer seen Of Rail
road Companies we would consider that
such would be the case. but which ever
line the company conclude to construct
the road upon either Canton or BeiOit will
in our opinion have an opportunity to
display their liberality in the shape OF
that peculiar and attractive article called
Iucro. Subsidies, is the gen,eel and mod
est word now though for Railroad dona
tions.
At the first movement made beyond
Sheldon towards survey to the Sioux, il
was rumored and believed that no subsi
dies would be solicited by the company
or received for causing them to divergt
from what they declared to be their line
for any town, but as matters now look anc
from some intimations we are inclined to
the belief that when the road is construct
ed the town that puts mp the largest
amount of aid will get the road.
