A terrible butchery Of Indians &C.
Cured at Fort Robinson last Thurs
day night, several soldiers also lost
their lives aud others were wounded,
but the fault was not all on the part
of the savages, as Is shown by the
reports OF the associated press. The
following Is the substance OF what is
said to be correct report Of the
cause which led to the tempt to
escape and consequent butchery.
~The $50 Indians confined at Fort
Robinson had been so lily treated on
their reservation that they escaped
therefrom. They were half starved
and without clothing, and ia this con-
dition, were captured by the troops
and taken to Fort Robinson, the In
tention being to return them 10 their
reservation. The Indians refused to
go back, declaring that they would
die first. A week ago last Sunday an
attempt was made to force them into
submission by starving and freezing
them. For three days they w.re kept
in he lodge used as prison without
fire or food. and practically without
clothing. Under the pretense OF hold
ing a council, the two chiefs were en-
ticed away from their followers, aud
when separated We're set upon, struck
down, and placed in irons. A war

overtaken their leaders. They there

THE BEST soap for toilet use ever man
ufactured. BEST because it contains all the
excellencies of the most expensive foreign
or American soaps without their defects.
BEST because it combines strength with
delicacy in such way that its strong de-
tersive qualities do not injure the skin.
BEST because it is the result of years of
study and experiment in the soap manufac-
turing business, assisted by modern chemi-
cal discoveries. BEST because 1t contains
ingredients beneficial to the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap in such man
ner as to increase its ssponaceous qualities.
Every chemist familiar with soap Inanufac-
ture knows that some ingredients which are
in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot
be saponifed; some are partially neutralized,
while others iDjure the quality OF the soap.
There are soaps in the market which are to
some extent beneficial to the skin, but they
are inferior articles for toilet use. PHoS-

the public which combines all the best ele-
ments OF toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin.

anything that will suit her." "Dasa,

A Lady Divorced without knowing it.

The Philadelphia Press commences
the recital of the trials and troubles of
q Philadelphia lady by quoting from
David Copperfeld, Mrs: Betsy Trot-
woods exclamation, Twenty years
ago I was married to that man, but
have seen very little of him SINCE" as
appropriate to Louisa Brewster, who,
in 1855, was married to William Cow
per Williams. His father was q minis
ter, and he was q medical graduate,
but being poor it was agreed that they
should live apart until his circumstan-
ces improved. Williams went to New
castle, Del, shortly after the marriage,
and changing his name was about to
be married again, when the fact that
he was already married was communi.
Gated to the intended bride. Williams
returned to Philadelphia, but refused
to acknowledge his wife. He went to
Europe and returned in 1857, and then
went West. Six months later Mrs.
Williams received letter announcing
her husbands death, apparently signed
by his mother, who subsequently, pro-
nounced it forgery. In 1868 she dis
covered that her absent husband was
Colonel of the Forty-fourth Indiana
Regiment, and his arrest followed; but
he was released by order of General
Rosecrans, who needed his services at
the front. A few months since Mrs.
Williams discovered that her husband
was living in Albion, Noble county,
Indiana; that he had been married If
teen years ago to Miss. Bliss, and was
the father Of two children. Strange,
too, she discovered that he had obtain
ed divorce on the ground of her aban-
donlnent of him on the day of the mar
riage. Without any notice to the de-
PENDANT, the farce OF q divorce was car
ried through by a referee, who recon-
mended the granting of a divorce, and
the fees were ordered to be paid by the
defendant. That part has not been
complied with, and suit is to be insti-
tuted to vacate the decree, in order
that the aggrieved lady may ascertain
whether she is married or single. Miss
Brewster or Mrs. Williams is a music
teacher, and cousin of the Hon. Ben
jamin Harris Brewster. Williams, it
Is said, served with credit during the
war, and is a prominent politician in
his district, having served the State in
various capacities.
