Proteetinn tic puh1ie


The residents of Yenkton regard it as
matter OF much congratulation that
during the last few days they have been
favored with the presence of an intelli-
gent band of young ladies who have
visited them IN their homes and therein
exposed the adulteiation of baking
pow 1ets with ammonia, alum, lime and
other noxlous ingredients which slowly
but surely undermine the health OF
young and old alike, Much suffering
to humanity has been saved through the
instrnmentallty of these young ladies in
their great humanitarian work--the pro-
lection OF health from the Inroads of
unscTupulous money-makers, who in
their niggerdly greed for gain cause the
undermining of health through the
manufacture OF compounds which
| they put forth as absolutely
pure" These sordid manufacturers
of adulterated baking powders
have through their slanderous advertise.
ments mlsrepresented and abused these
meritorious lady-workers, and, most
| shamefully too; but to little effect, as an
| intelligent public cannot any longer be
misied and have its confidence abused
by the mlsstatements of those who seek
to rob the people of their money and
| their health through imposing upon
| them noxious preparations which are
cunningly palmed off as absolutely
pure" These ladies, so meritoriously
engaged in noble work, have, through
| their tests, conscieutionsly made, in
almost every hom in this city, firmly
established the important fact that
Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
| alike pure, healthful and economical
really. as Justly claimed, the most per-
feet made.

Troupie on the Rosebud

/
Fort Keogh, Mont, Oct. 2G-There is
trouble among the Cheyenne Indians on
the Rosebud. Agent VIpshaw has
telegraphed for troops and battalion of
infantry under Maj, Simon Snyder will
leave here tomorrow morning at day.
break for the Cheyenne camp. The
companies are ID, Lieuteuants Ellison
and Uhattield; E, Lieut.. Miller, and G.,
Capt. Romeyn and Lieut.. Dufrees, all
fifth infantry. Exactly what the DIS
turbance is or will amount to is not vet
known; but it grew out of the arrest
last Saturday of Chief Crazy Head and
two other bucks for the killing of some
sheep belonging to ranchman
on the Tongue river named p,
W lie. Deputy shenffs Conley ana
King of Miles City made the arrest and
brought the Indians to Miles Clty.
where they are now IN jail Crazy Head
resisted the officer but was tinally over
powered and hsudcutfed. A yonne La.
dian boy aged ten years seized big
butcher knife and stole behind the
sheriff. A squaw seized his hand in
time to prevent the attempted killing.
When the officers overpowered Crazy
Head the chiefs old mother fell
down in fit which seemed to enrape
the other Indians. 1t is said thew
held council on the affair. Another
cause OF trouble is said to be the lack of
rations. The supply on hand at the
agency ls somewhat limited and no
hunting passes are given them to 20 off
the reservation in search of game. As a
consequence they are in half starved
condition, and are easily excited Ii full
rations are allowed, it is believed one
chief cause of complaint would be re-
moved The military authorities do not
anticipate serious trouble.

Ihe statement, absurd enough to die
OF Its own volition, that one half the
delegates at the territorial republican
convention were drunk at the moment
they adopted the prohibition plank in
the platform, is being mouthed by
democratic organs of Dakota and some
of the republican papers have been
malignant enough to use it. The Fargo
Argus gives its attention briefly to the
oanard:
During the entire gathering at Yank-
ton the Argus does not remember to
have seen single intoxicated person -
male or female-cltizen or stranger
and the assertion to the contrary is n
vile falsehood. The delegates were,

gent and attentive to the business call
ms them together-besides all that
there is no prohibition plank In the plat.

The sioux-Crow Fight.

Billings, Mont. Oct. 26.-Some two
weeks ago party of Sioux Indians,
numbering about fifty warriors, left the
Yanktonais agency, declaring their pur-
pose to raid the Grow camps of their
Little Horn. On Friday last three ad-
vance scouts belonging to this maraud-
ing expedition reached the vicinity of
the Crow mission, and concealing the
horses in ray1ne near by, entered the
valley OF the Little Horn with the inten-
tion, 1t is believed, of ascertainlng the
whereabouts of tbs Grow pony herds for
the purpose OF stampedlng and securing
them. The cached horses we're found
by the Grows, and q party of the latter
Immediately trailed the Sioux into the
timber on the river, about midway be-
tween the post and the agency, where
battle ensued, in which two Sioux were
killed and three Grows killed and two
wounded. The remaining Sioux escaped
to the fort, where he reported the fight,
and troops were at once dispatched to
the scene by Gen. Daley, who led the
detachment IN person. No other Sioux
were found, nor have yet been seen. The
Grows held mourning dance upon the
scene of the battle, in the progress of
which the bodies of their dead adver-
saries were riddled with bullets, and the
head of oDe entirely severed from the
.ruuk with an axe. Numbers of Grows
are said to be coming into the mission
from various parts Of the reservation,
arrayed IN war paint and other hostile
paraphernalis. Much alarm is felt at
the agency, and serious complications
are apprehended. One OF the wounded
Sioux before dying said to an officer
through an interpreter that he was
willing to die, as more of his tribe were
going to avenge him. Large numbers
OF Grows are said to be coming into the
agency in war paint, and serious trouble
is anticipated.
