These should be the largest, sunniest,
and best ventilated rooms in the house
The reverse is too often true Let a
person go back to his chamber after
half an hour in the morning air, he will
be startled to find how bad the air of
his room is. Generally there are two
occupants, and each, with every breath,
is using up oxygen, and pouring out
cafbonic acid from the lungs, and at
the same time is exhaling a poisonous
effiuVium from the entire surface of the
body. Persons sleeping in-small and Ill
ventilated rooms are not only liable to
coughs, colds, and consumption, but are
specially exposed to attack from prevail
ing infectious diseases. That is, their
vitality is lowered, and that means their
safety depends Oh their not being ex-
posed. Every bedroom should have
careful provision for its ventilation, es-
pecially in these days of alright stoves
and coal furnaces. 1t would be great
gain il we could get back our open fire.
places, even if we had nc fires in them.
But the best that most can now do is to
keep the door open at night into a we'll
ventilated hall, or, to secure slight cur
rents of air from. open windows-open
more or less according to the tempera-
ture. Of course, a strong draucht
should not fall on one when asleep.
We need hardly add that the air of ev-
cry bedroom should be thoroughly
changed during the day.-Y olsth'S COM

The Death of Colonel Lewis.

DODGE CITY, Kas., October 6.-The fol-
lowing details Of the battle in which Cplone.
Lewis was killed are from a participant:
The Indians, after crossing the railroad,
travelled rapidly to point, where the fight
occurred, at Famished Woman's Fork, 10
miles from Fort Wallace, and there upon
sides of the canyon threw up rifle-pits. This
plan was laid to draw the soldiers to a point
where there could be no retreat and open
fire on them from all sides. They led blind
trail, and the troops, suspecting nothing, en-
tered the canyon, and but for 4 glimpse Of
danger by scouts would have fallen into the
trap Seeing the failure of their plans, the
Indians at once opened fire upon the head
OF the column. The troops very soon took
possession of the adjoining hills and sue
ceeded in driving the Indians from Sc veral
pits, and while running from pit to pit were
shot by soldiers, but their bodies were
dragged in by their friends. Colonel Lewis
displayed rare courage and remained on his
horse, the finest mark on the field. After
dismOunting, he moved about directing the
fire of the troops, until ball in the right
leg severed the main artery and brought him
down.

The Military situation.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1T is learned by dis
patches here. to-day, from Big Springs, on
the Union Parific, that Thornburg's com
mand was 80 miles north of that point on
Sunday, camping without wood or water.
Ponies were found, left by the Indians, still
wet with perspiration. Rifie-pits were
found ut campingpoint showing civilized
method of warfare. Trails are diverging
in every direction over a wide eX-
tent of country. The Indians I'M
doubtedly crossed Red Cloud and Spotted
Tails trail. Cartoons command is still be-
tween Red Cloud Agency and the Chey-
ennes. Bradley's infantry, under Capt.
Munson, stopped at the Chugwater. Mer-
rift, with the 9th Cavalry, is at Laramie. 1t
is considered improbable here that the
Cheyennes will be Oyertaken. A prominent
citizen, arrived to-day from Camp Brown,
Northern Wyoming, says $50 Arapahoes and
30 Cheyennes have left the reservation there
in the past two weeks, on pretense of hunt
ing, and not returning, it is believed have
gone on the war-path. They are all good
warriors, and informed of recent move
ments. A general understanding is evident
among the Indians.

His Last Resort.

A small, inoffensive-appearing one
armed man, with rather an intelligent
face, but poorly clad and with marks OF
pain and suffering in his countenance,
walked slowly into the Central Police
station yesterday forenoon and, motion
ing Lieut.. Morse, the officer in charge,
to one side, where he could not be over
heard by any one else in the room, whis-
pered in a broken voice: 81 am sick
and without money or friends. I've
been to all the hospitals, and none of
them will take me in. was at the In
Urinary, but there it was the same, and
l am so feeble and sick that if l do not
get some place to stay | will die"
"What do you think we can do for
you here if none of these places can
help youP" quietly inquired the Lieu
tenant.
81 have got pair of shoes here,n an
swered he in half-scared way, taking
from under his arm the articles careful
ly wrapped in newspaper, and hand
ing them to the officer.
elf you want to dispose of these, and
have right to sell them (adding this on
account of the suspicious looks of the
MANI, you can surely find better mar
ket than this"
"The paper is mine, but the shoes are
not. l stole them This confession
in the same quiet way he had spoken
before.
"From where?" asked Morse, scarce
ly comprehending the man.
"The sign is George Angel, and the
store is on the street that leads to the
market. l hate to call it stealing. l
never stole any thing in my life before,
but took them, thinking that you would
arrest me and send me to some place
where could be taken care Of"
He almost broke down as he finished
this statement. With feeling of pity
the officer took up his pen and turned
to his blotter. The mans name, Thorn
as johnson, was recorded upon its
pages with the charge of petit larceny
against it. The turnkey showed him
into the prison and the iron doors closed
behind him. In the afternoon he ap-
peared before Judge Updegroff and re-
peated his statement. The Court found
him guilty, imposed a fine of S25, and
ordered him sent to the work-house for
thirty days.-CleUetand Leader.

The New York Herald publishes a
statement showing that in 1865 there
were $4,000 more shoemakers in Massa-

\ in Mas sachusetts exceed by the enor-
nous amount of S7l ,0O0,0 900 the pro-
| duction of 1855. This extraordinary in
crease of products, with so great DIM

Among the great variety of miner
ais found in this country there is one
which is fast beeoming an important
J article of commerce. The mineral re-
! ferred to is a hydrated silicate of mag
1 nesium known as. tale. 1t occurs in
foliated masses, has q soapy feeling, is
fibrous but not elastic. Large beds OF
] this mineral are found in various Sec
tons of the, country. 1t is quarried,
| broken into small pieces and ground by
means of attrition mills and bolted sim
ilarly to flour. 1t is used in the manu-
! facture of writing paper, 80 per centum
of the mineral with 80 per ceDtum OF
cotton making fine paper. Being,
like asbestos, fireprOof, it is used largely
in the manufacture of roofng-paper.
One of the cheap and simple devices
lately broue hit forward is paper egg
cup, which, besides being really in
genious idea, is in fact based upon sound
theory, inasmuch as paper is non-con-
ductOr of heat. The article is elastic,
so that one cup will hold securely an
egg of any size, and it is nodded in cor
rugated form, so that there is always
a circulation of air between the egg and
its vessel. The same cups may be
cleaned and used over and over again,
or may be thrown away after using
their cheapness allowing of this latter
! disposition. The material may not only
be paper, but muslin, or indeed almost
any fabric, and may also be tinted OF
different colOrs, thus giving the cups q
really ornamental appearance.

The Red Cloud Revolt.

YASkToN, Dakota, Oct. 4.-Dr. James IT.
win, agent of the Red Cloud Indians, arriv-
ed to-day from the agency on his way to
Washington to interview the Secretary of
the Interior and the President upon the eX-
listing situation of affairs in connection with
the Indians under his control. His Indians,
tired Of waiting for the promised permis-
sion from the Commissioner to move to the
White Clay, have abandoned their agency on
the Missouri River and have gone back into
the country 100 miles, where they are in
camp on Pass Greek. They sent back word
from there that il their agent would pro-
coed to Washington and represent their
case to the Great Father they would await
the result without making any further move
until the result of his commission was known
to them. 1t is this errand which takes DR..
Irwin to Washington. The disaffected Red
Cloud Indians number over 5000 at this
camp. On Pass Creek they have been joined
by many Of Spotted Tabs renegades. DR..
Irwin has information which leads him to
believe that the renegade Cheyennes from
the south are intending TO join forces with
his Indians on Pass Creek. Should this oc-
cur there is serious trouble ahead for the
Black Hills and other frontier settlements.
These Indians will soon be out Of fatiOns.
There are 100000 pounds on the river bank
at the agency, awaiting transportation to the
Indians, but no teams to convey them. The
entire agency transportation outfit consists
OF eight mules. Winter is coming on, and
this large band of satages is loose upon the
plains to depredate wherever they may
choose. Their agent has done his best to
avert this dangerous situation of affairs, but
has been unable to accomplish more than
his facilities permitted. He now goes to
Washington to intercede in behalf of the
Indians.

The Massacre in decatur County, Kans

The Massacre in Decatur County, Kansas.
HAYS CITY, Kas., Oct. 4.-Twenty-five
dead bodies were brought in last night to
Buffalo Station, 60 miles west OF here, the
result of Tuesdays fight 10 miles north Of
Buffalo. Twenty of the deceased were cat
lie men, and entire strangers to all who
viewed them, while five were recognized as
settlers. After killing their victims the In
dams continued their course north, taking
with them every horse and pony within 4
range of 20 miles. The band struck a stream
called Prairie Dog, 40 miles north of the
Kansas Pacific Road, killing the herders
that were herding horses and cattle, and
settlers as they came on to them. Thirty
three dead bodies were found yesterday by
their pursuers in Decatur County, in the
Prairie Dog region. This was evidently the
work Of the last band that crossed the road
on Tuesday last. No one has been able to
learn the names Of any of yesterdays dead.

were found to be even worse and more sick
ening that at first reported. The following
are the names of the killed, ravished and
wobnded: Mr.. Humphrey, of Illinois, and
two sons killed, while another son will die
from his wounds; Mr.. Lanig and three sons
killed, while the most shameful crimes were
committed upon the persons Of Mrs. LANG
and her three daughters, after which the
ladies were placed in one corner of the room
and straw piled upon the dead bodies of the
father and brothers and set fire to. From
this smoke and darkness the ladies made
| their escape, running eight miles without a
stitch of clothing upon them. Mr.. Smith
was killed; Mr.. Westfall and two sons kill
ed and Mrs. Westfall dangerously wounded,
but will recover; Mr.. Felt, Mr.. Alternately,
Mr.. Tull, Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Kelly were all
killed; Mr.. Young died of his wounds. F.
Walters Of New York, and Mr.. Wright oil
Illinois, are missing and supposed to be
killed. Two young ladies were stripped OF
their clothing and ravished in the most brutal
manner by Is of the red devils. The ladies
were named Evans, late of Illinois; they will
recover. Mr.. Keifer, who was wounded,
will recover. The bodies of eight children
were found on the prairie Friday bya scout.
