That the Indians Haze Cost Us

The amount expended in Indian wars
from 1776 to June 80, 1886, can at best
be estimated. The several Indian wars
after l776, including the war OF 1912 in
the west and northwest, the Creek,
Black Hawk and Seminole wars, up to
1860, were bloody and costly.
Except when engaged in war with
Great Britain and Mexico, or during the
rebellion (lSG0-65). the United States
army was almost entirely used for the
Indian service, and stationed largely in
the Indian country or along the frontier.
1t will! be fair to estimate, taking out
the years of foreign wars with England
Q8l2-lSl5), S66,6l4,9l2. and with
Mexico (lS46-lS4S), $73.941, 1882, and
the rebellion (l86l-lS65) and recon-
struction QS65 1870, S3,SG4 $50 $50 0o,
that more than three-f ourths of the to-
tai expense of the army is chargeable,
directly or indirectly, to the Indians.
During our foreign wars, and the rebel
lion as well, many of the Indian tribes
were at war with us, and others were a
constant danger a large force being nee
essary to hold them in subsection. Still
expense on this account is dropped
| from the estimate.)
The total army expense from March
4, 1889, 10 June 80. 1886, was 81 $50 49,.
924. Deducting 50 .5lI oil, 0O7.4S for for.
eign wars and the rebellion, the remain
der is ST. ,044 Cos 1852.

The case of State VS. David Gray, charged
with perjury in falsely swearing to the in
formation charging Jacob Sims with being
the owner of certain property on Lower
Broadway, leased for saloon purposes, was
called in Squire Barnetts court yesterday,
but the defense took a change of venue to
Squire Schurz's court. The case was tried
during the afternoon. G. F.. Boulton, Gray's
attorney, who has been so mercllessly
"horsed' by the entire bar and sat down
upon by the courts since he has been pre-
tending to get saloon iniunctions, had evil
IDENTIFY begun to think that something was
out of gear with his abilities as an attorney,
and had secured the services of Colonel
Sapp to help him through the case. The
doughty colonel.apparently felt ashamed of
the company he was in, but soon forgot
about it as the case warmed up and he tried
for all there was in it. Several witnesses
were examined, showing that the history of
the case was as previously published. All
of the evidence in the case was submitted.
and court then adjourned. The argumen is
will be submitted tomorrow. q. F., Nc
Cabe is conducting the prosecution.

In tho social Mhirl.

The past week has been lively one In
Council Bluffs social circles, and pleasures
devotees have been kept busy. On Tuesday
evening the Royal Arcauum gave the first OF
it's series of parties for 1SS9-90, and 1T was up
to the high standard of its predecessors
These parties have become the synonym for
pleasure unalloyed, and the livelest interest
is taken In them. The initial ball this sea-
son was most auspicious and augurs welt for
the rest of the series.
There were over two hundred guests pres
ent. Dancing was the order of the evening
An elegant spread was by no means one of
the least attractive features The next party
will be given on the l4th inst.
A very pleasant little affair was the card
party given by Miss Anna Patterson, Thurs
day evening, at her home on Fourth avenue.
About dozen of the intimate friends of the
hostess were present. Choice refreshments
were served.
A very delightful party was given Thurs
day evening at the elegant residence of Mrs.
/. Nj. Treynor, on First avenue.
1t was "ghost party" at which the men,
bers of the u. E. o. were sumptuously en-
tertained. 1t was quite an event, and was
but another Instance of how fortunate mem
bers of this mystic organization are unduly
favored.
The Married Ladies Progressive High Five
club was most pleasantly entertained by Mrs.
Judge w. c. James, on Third avenue, Thurs
day evening. A number of most delightful
evening are anticipated by this club during
the coming season, and if Thursday night s
entertainment is any criterion by which to
Judge, they will not be disappointed.
The Trinity Methodist church social, at
the residence cf the pastor, Rev. l.. Alexan-
der, on Zig nth street, was another attrac-
tion Thursday evening. Although there
were several other attractions, there were
quite number present and a very enjoyable
evening passed.
A large number of friends were delight
fully entertained at the home of Mrs. p. u.
Mikesell, No. 1909 Avenue Q, on the occasion
of the hostess forty-ninth birthday, on
Thursday evening. The enjoyment of the
large number OF guests was most assidu
ously looked after, and the evening was
rarely enjoyed.

To Wilkie Collins, from New York,
under date OF January IL, 1868, Mr..
Dickens wrote, says the Philadelphia
Record: Being at Boston last Sunday,
took 1t into my head TO go over the
Medical School and survey the holes
and corners in which that extraordi-
nary murder was done by Webster.
There was the furnace and all the grim
spouts and sinks and chemical apple
ances and what not. AZ dinner alter
ward Longfelow told me II terrific story.
He dined with Webster within year
of the murder, one OF n party OF ten or
twelve. AS they sat Mt their wine
Webster suddenly ordered the lights
turned out and bowl OF some burning
material TO be placed on the table, that
the guests might see how ghostly it
made them look. AS each man stared
at the rest in the weird light all were
horror-stricken to see Webster with q
rope around his neck, holding 1t up over
the bowl, with his head jerked on ono
side and his tongue lolled out, repre-
senting man being hangedl"
Representative White, OF Illinois,
who arose to " question of privilege
last spring to deny tho printed report
that he had drank water from inger-
bowl at fashionable dinner, is again
reported in protesting mood, says the
St. Louis Republic. While attending
the Chicago exposition u few days ago
he strolled into a fashionable restaurant
and called for oysters. He did not des-
lguate the style of sorvico further than
to indicate that he wanted them raw.
They were brought to him on the half

HUTCHINSON, Mimi, Oct. 3l.-To the
Editor of THE BEE: An article in late
number of THE BEE, treating of Horace
Greeley as u speaker, brings to my mind
since by relative of nine, who was
present on the occasion referred to.
On one of Mr.. Greeley's visits to his
father, who was at that time living in
Pennsylvania, he consented to meet a
number of his admirers living in the
then sprucely settled ncighborhood,
and address them from the desk of the
county school l-house.
He chose "Temperance" as the SUBJ
ject of his remarks. In the course OF
his talk he no doubt intended to say
that the cause of temperance had de-
cliued, but he evidently could not recol-
lect the word. He would back up and
come at time and again, repeating
The cause of temperance has-has-."
In vain the editor would shuttle from
one of his feet to the other until the sit
uation was becoming almost painful to
his hearers. Finally he made n des-
perate luuge and said, 1.-The cause OF
temperance has-has-sagged," and
went ahead-to the relief of all.

The Local Politicians

The local political campaign has been
very quiet one, outwardly, and there is little
effervescence even now, when the decisive
day Is so near. One remarkable feature has
been the absence of any mud'throwing.
Early in the canvass DR.. +. S. Thomas, the
republican candidate for the legislature,
urged that nothing be said derogatory to the
character of either of the democratic nomi-
nees. He emphatically declared that he
would rather be defeated than to have mean
things said, even If they were truthful, about
his political opponents. He wanted clean
campaign so far as he was concerned. DIR.
Thomas keen sense of honor and his man
liness have made him many trends in this

don letter. Lord 'Tennyson, Cardinal
Newman and Cardinal Manning, all of

for long time before. Mr.. Gladstone,
who will complete his eightieth year
two months hence, is in excellent
health and his voice particularly is bet

As in the legislative contest, so with the

been rather a still hunt for votes. Great in

considered the bestH not the last chance for
fixing the pins sure. To-day will probably

Streets settling By Wholesale.

Streets Settling BY Wholesale.
Several accidents to vehicles occurred in
various parts Of the city yesterday, owing
TO the settling of streets on which new
sewers had been laid, grading done, or any
work OF excavation. The rain had caused
deep washouts at many of the storm sewers,
and in some localities the streets were in an
almost impossible condition. The result
was enough 10 convince the most skeptcal
that paving should not be done on streets
on which sewers, gas or motor mains have
recently been Lana, as the settling is sure to
spoil the paving, even IL IL does not necessi-
tate its beng entirely relaid.
