He Wanted that Little Strong.


There was once a boy crossing cornfeld
who was overhauled by frenzied woman who
came tearing out of house crying:
Run FIR preacher-run f'r preacher as
fast as you kin, an fetch him back herel"
The boy didn't know what the fuss was all
about, but he did as he was asked he went
and got a preacher
The preacher went with the boy to the farm
house and was shown into bedroom. AS he
entered the room the wan, emaciated shadow
of man turned painfully over in the bed and
inquired in feeble hollow tones:
8 Be you the preacher?"
81 am preacher" replied the holy man.

specter, ''Im a-sufferin' that l reckon 1 can't

Mrs. Mason, the lovely wife of the Captain of
the ill-fated boat, while wringing her hands
over the remains of her husband, exclaimed
amidst her cries of anguish, "0h the wretch
that caused this awful tragedy. oh who could
have had the heart to blow up boat with so
many human beings aboard"
can hear the words of this poor, heart-broken
woman as | write as plainly as on that morn
ing of walls, shrieks, piteous prayers and death.
All loyal Memphis was thrown into mourning,
and on every tongue were bitter curses against
the diabolical fend who put the powder into
the coal that caused this terrible disaster. 1t
seemed incredible that the tragedy was the
work of a man imbued with hellish hate
against Union soldiers. But this conviction
settled deep in every heart. Government de-
tectives were employed Immediately to fathom,
If possible, the tragic mystery, but they de-
veloped nothing beyond the fact that the boat
was blown up by explosives of some kind in
troduced into the coal by parties unknown.
At this late day the story is told by William
C. Streeter, of st. Louis, No. thata noted Con-
federate blockade runner and smuggler of mails
by the name of Robert Lowden, known during
the war by the alias of Charles Dales concocted
and carried out the demonish plot StTeeter
says that Dales told him after the war that
while the Su1tana was lying at the wharf TAX
ing on coal the night previous TO the disaster,
he smuggled aboard lump of coal charged
with powder. This he laid on the coal pile in
front of the boilers for the purpose of destroy

THE SIOUX ARE SIGNING.
Their Former ObstiRacy Due to the
Halfbreeds and Squaw Men.

PIERRE, Oak, August 24-lSpecial Tee-
gram to THE BEE. The steamer Rosebud
to-day brought from Standing Rock agency
the Sioux commissioners and party on their
way to the Crow Creek and Lower Brulc
agencies Being interviewed they were free
to give the history of affairs at Standing
Rock, from which it appears that they have
obtained the names of a good number of the
Standing Rock Sioux. They are expecting
to obtain the balance on their return without
any trouble. They assert that their hired in
terpreters connived with the squaw men, a
few halfbreeds and half-dozen hostile
chiefs to defeat the measure by ntimidating
the majority who favored IT, even deciding
in secret council to kill the first buck twho
signed. The sentiment among the rank and
file was too strongly in favor of the treaty,
however, aud many signed before they left,
one instance of the kind being when they
had boarded the boat to go. A number came
aboard and signed, fearing the commission
would not return. The commission consid-
ers it diplomacy to get the lower Brules and
Grow Greeks first before visiting Cheyenne
or returning to Standing Rock, as the FORMER
will readily favor the treaty.
