Another Serious Outbreak by the
Spotted Tail Indians Reported.
The Troops One Hundred and
Eighty-seven Miles Away.
THE INDIANS.
THE INDIANS.

Sioux CITY, Oct. 26.-A repol
has been received that a serious out
break has occurred among Spotted
Tails Indians in Southwestern Da>
kota, and the troops are 187 miles
away.
Los P1Nos, COL, Oct. "a, VIA
DEL NoRTE, CoL., Oct. 28.-We
have just arrived from the Indian
camp on Plateau Greek. The
women and children are safe at
Chief Ouray's house. We left on
the morning of the 23nd. The In
dians seemed unwilling to have us
leave until they had learned what
success Gen. Adams had in stopping
further advance Of Gen. Merritt S
command. Mr.. Meeker's papers
were burned and what money Mrs.
Meeker had was taken from her by
Douglas. It was intended to kill
the women and children, as the
windows of the room in which they
first took refuge were rifed with
bullets the moment they left for
a more secure place in the milk
room. Mrs. Meekr thinks Susan,
the squaw, wife Of Chief Johnson,
and a sister Of Ouray, did more
than all the others to save their
lives. She was as kind to them as
mother, and their parting was
very touching Jacks Band fought
the troops until Douglas men killed
the Agent and employees. Agent
Meeker was killed by Antelope and
Manpathee, and Mrs. Meeker was
shot at while running from the
house, attempting to hide in the
sage brush. The ball made slight
flesh wound in her thigh. The ar
rangenents for fight with Merritt S
command were complete. Two hum
dred Arrapahoes had joined Jack
with many others from the neigh
boring tribes. Had it not been for
the timely order of Chief Ouray' S
order to cease fighting, the name of
Merritt and his command would
have passed into history
by the side of Custer with
same epitaph, "Annihilated by In
dians." The outbreak may be at
tributed to four things, viz: Re-
peated change and lessening Of the
amount of rations to Indians; there
heing no head chief the same as
Ouray is here; a Ute Indian for an
interpreter, who was unfriendly tc
Meeker; and plenty of bad whisky
which was furnished by ranchmen.

insured certain destruction. To keep
abreast the times taxes mans utmost

Profitable stock Investments.


Before Mesers. Lawrence & Co.,
the New York Bankers, inaugurated
the combination system of operating
in stocks, it was often very difficult
for Inexperienced operators or even
old stagers, to deal profitably by their
single handed ventures. Now the
field is open to every one for success
ful operations, and capital in any
amounts, from $40 to $4,000, can be
used with equal proporiionate profit.
Instead of dietracting efforts among
many customers, the orders of thou
sands are concentrated into one vast
pool and co opei ated for the benefit
of all, dividing profits pro rdtd every
month. A prominent citizen of San
Francisco made 81, ,264 So from an iCs
yestment of $500 last month. Other
customers are doing better still. SIS

The governor of Tennessee has called spe-
cial session of the legislature to provide by law
for the raising OF means to improve the sanitary
condition OF Memphis The proposition now is,
that an additional tax, not exceeding one per
cent, shall be levied upon the property in Mem
pills. for the repairing Of streets and bridges and
the building of sewers. The proposition really
involves a double additional tax levy, for the
first one per cent is to be paid February 1st,
1850, and the second December 1st, 1880. This
is not what the people Of Memphis want from
the legislature. They want the state to con-
tribute something towards putting the city in a
condition to resist yellow fever hereafter The
state, outside OF Memphis, Is deeply interested
In preventing return Of the epidemic, and the
general expectation has been that the legisla-
ture would either make an appropriation direct,
or levy very small tax upon the people gener-
ally. The tax proposed upon the property in
Memphis will not raise funds sufficient to put
the city in the condition it ought to be, even If
the city could stand an additional double taxa

Notwithstanding the censorship established
over the press correspondents in Afghanistan
by the English military authorities, the news
that the British troops there are in a very pre-
carious situation has leaked out. Gen. Roberts
only reached Cabul after a tedious and danger
Gus march, on which he lost large portion of
his transport train. His assaults upon the AZ
CHAN rebels were successful in driving them
from the positions they held, but 1t seems
that they only retired before him in sepa-
rate bands In order to form a junction
and threaten him with united force. General
Roberts has been able TO maintain but single
line OF communication, and he is dependent
upon this for his supplies A dangerous pass
along this line is now invested by an Afghan
chief with about 5000 warriors Of the desperate
hill tribes. The native population around Ca
bull have been rendered hostile to the British by
the excessive demands OF the latter upon them
for food and forage. This has the effect OF driv-
Ing recruits to the rebel ranks, and 1t need not
occasion surprised, before long, another disaster
to her Majestys forces is reported from Afghanis-
tan.
