GEN. MILES HEARD FROM.
AChicago dispatch of September 18th
says the Inter Ocean has a special from
a reliable correspondent at the National
Park, dated Sep. 9. whicn reports a fight
with Bannock Indians on the morning
of the 4th, in which Miles, with q men
of the 9TH infantry and 81 friendly
Grows, surprised the Bannocks at day
break, and after severe battle in which
Capt. Bennett, 9TH infantry, of Little
Rock, French scout, and one Grow
Indian were killed. Thirteen Ban
nocls were killed. Thirty-four Ban
nocks, men, women and children, were
taken prisoners and sent to Fort KeOgh.
Forty-four Indian horses were killed
and 200 captured. 1t is believed by
Miles that this closes the Bannock war.

Fastening back to the store he called
his confidential clerk to one side and
SAID: How much, do you think, the
first seats to the Jenny Lind concert will
sell for?" About so or S15," was the
reply. w ell want yuo to attend the sale
with another clerk, and bid until it has
run up between 5000 and $780," The
programme was carried out, and the
ticket was knocked down to the clerk
at 1925. "What nameY' inquired the
auctioneer. "John n. Genin," was the
answer. Meanwhile the exuberant
crowd seized the supposititious Genin,
lifted him upon their shoulders and nore
him IN triumph to Genin's store. The
news had preceded the crowd, however,
and before they had reached the store
1t was filled with a shouting, exciting
mass of congratulating friends. Genin
was the hero of the hour. The telegraph
flashed the news over the country that
The first choice of seats to the Jenny
Lind concert had been sold to John n.
Genin,' and the deed was done. Mr..
Genln made an arrangement with the
news editor of one of the morning
papers to clip out and hand to him
every article he could find in his ex-
changes IN relation to the matter. These
he carefully preserved, making a calcu-
iation at the regular rates of advertising
Der line, until it had reached the enor-
NOUS sum of $4,000, when he ceased
longer to keep an account, quietly re-
marking to one of the doubling Thom-
ases who had questioned the wisdom of
the advertisement, See there! have
already in my possession over $4,000
worth of advertising, for which [ only
paid 1925. and / don't know how much
remains to come in"

Mr.. GEORGE w. JONES, still living in
Minnesota. in the last years of Jack
sons presidency was Il delegate in con-
gress from the territory which now
forms the states ofMichigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, and Minnesota, and portion of
the Territory of Dakota, and which to-
day has eight senators, twenty-nine
representatives, and one delegate.
There were then but two newspapers in
the territory; to-day there are II dailies
and 100 other periodicals. The popu-
lation then was some $4,000, who were
regarded as adventurous men on the
outskirts of civilization, now it has
great cities and population as large as
that of the whole country in 1912; pro
duces more breadstuds than the whole
nation did in Jacksons time, and con-
tains more wealth than was owned by
the entire eighteen states which divided
their ELECTORAL votes between Madison
and Clinton.

Ingenious AdyprtiSinp

John n. Genin, the New York halter,
who died recently, was great believer
in the benefits of advertising, and con-
stantly kept his name before the public
IN some way. When Barnum brought
Jenny Lind to this country, the first
choice of seats in the house was to be
sold at public auction. Genin ran to
see Barnum and said: "Barnum. l
want the first seat sold, and | want to
pay a good price for it. How shall
manage it?' Send down couple of
your clerks with instructions to bid
against each other" was the reply.

Advices Of the 18th say some &c
deaths from yellow fever have occurred

reported for three days ending yester-
day morning. At least 40 more will be
added this fornoon. The Howards by
their thorough and systematic organi-

otherwise would have been lost through
neglect. Attention promptly given to
each case as soon rs reported. Our
physicians are untiring and as yet have
not asked to be reinforced. The How

The measures adopted are keeping

A Washington special of the 18th

A washington special OF the l4th
inst, says: The post Office department
has great difficulty in the management
of the postal affairs in the infected dis
tricts. At Grenada the situation is
particularly distressing. The post
master died few days ago, when a
telegraphic appeal was received re-
questing that his wife, who was
not very well, be appointed his
successor, as the salary was
needed. The department replied
that they would wait until she recover
ed before appointing her. This morn
ing a dispatch was received that she
was dead. All the bondsmen are dead,
or have left the city. All the money,
stamps, and records of the office are
locked in a safe, and the only persons
who know the combination are dead
A clergyman is now acting as volunteer
postmaster for two hours daily. All
this is in violation Of law on the part
of the department, but there is no
remedy.
The department has daily applica-
tions from numbers of reckless adven-
turers and charitable persons to accept
positions in the south. They all come
from unacclimated persons, and are ne
cessarily declined. One enthusiastic
youth of % to-day volunteered to act as
a special agent to visit every post-office
in the infected districts, and to resign
at the end of the epidemic if desired
His services were not accepted.

Lucy II. HOOPER says: "Christine
Nilsson, in plain gray costume and a
hat shaded with grey plumes, claims
more than passing glanco-more for
the sake of the past, however, than. for
that of the present, for her beauty,
once so real and so winning, is sadly
faded, and the passage of years has ac-
centuated the marked points in her
countenance, such as the high cheek
bones and the general hardness OF out
line. But the blue eyes and flashing
teeth are attractive as of old. [ hear
that her voice has suffered as has her
beauty, having lost its exquisite and sub
tie sweetness, that diamond-like quality
that was its greatest charm. From
that, or from some unexplained cause,
the glory Of the great prima donna's
career is waning, and she has abated no
jot Of her pretentions, and, consequent
ly, the managers fight shy of her, as
witness her non-engag ement IN Lon
don last season. Yet she is but little
over 80, having barely reached the age
at which the powers of great singer
should be at their prime.
