In 1863 President Lincoln sent a
. force under Gen. Henry III. Sibley to
punish the Indians for their barbara
ties in Minnesota and Dakota, and
drive them back to the Rocky mount
ain plains. Among the many Incl
dents of the Sibley expedition against
the Sioux which are still afoat in Da-
kota. is tho following; On the return
the camps We're usually made on the
banks Of lake on river, and frequently
when the men learned where the camp
would be some of them would rush
forward and have bath; this rolled
up tho water and made IL unfit for
camp purposes. This action so in
censed Gen. Sibley tina. he issued AN
order prohibiting bathing until the
officer of the day should announce
that the water had been secured for
camp purposes and the stock had been
watered.
One night the camp had been made
on the banks of small lake. Capt.
Horace Austin was tho officer of the
day, and he sent detail To the lake in
charge Of Sergt s. j. Childs. now of
Mankato, TO see that the generals
order was Obeyed. Childs saw n man
come down to the lake shore, look at
the water, step back behind bush and
commence undressing Soon he was
disrobcd and walked TO the edge of the
water and dipped his foot in it as if to
see how cold it was, when Childs
yelled 'HaltY What is the mattcr?"
asked the would be bathcr. The SER
geant replied the generals orders were
that no bathing should be allowed un.
til tho officer of the day had an.
nounced sufficient water had been sc.
cured. Tho man demonstrated, and
finally said that if Childs knew the or
der he ought to have informed him be-
fore he undressed. YES" said Childs,
Il knew it, but the order does not pro-
hibit disrobing." The man who wanted
to batho was Gen. Sibley himself, and
Childs knew it, but he didn't battle

AS tn Whether Robertson Was Lieutenant
Governor of Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 4.-The Democrats of
the senate began a movement yesterday
that will probably end in the courts,
and the question as to whether Robertson was
lieutenant governor will be involved A reso-
luton was introduced requiring the auditor to
report whether he had paid Robertson and out
Of what fund The Republicans, while oppos-
ing the resolution, declared that of course
Robertson had been paid as lieutenant gov
ernor. The resolution was passed, and its
significance is that whatever has been paid
will be stricken from the appropriation and
put upon the auditor, to pay out of his own
pocket, and then the courts will come into the
case
A bill was reported favorahly making it
"riotous conspiracy" for my persons to band

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 22.-At 6:3J
last evening the senate deadlock was broken
by the election OF r. S. Carr president, ten
Democrats and six Republicans voting for
him. As soon as his election was announced
the senate adjourned for the day. Before the
result was reached l3G ballots had been taken
and the settlement is looked upon as a sort of
Democratic victory as Carr is a Union Labor
man with Republican antecedents
The Republicans have nominated Governor
Golf for United States senator The Demo-
Gratis have been holding conference with the
intention of solving it into n caucus, but
owing To the opposition which was developed
against Senator Kenna they have been un-
able to do so. Eight members are reported
as absolutely refusing to support him should

lock Of two years ago seems imminent.

He Got Even with Her.

AS Cottage Grove avenue cable

street from State the other afternoon,
a young man jumped upon the front
platform of the trailing Indiana ave-
nue. car, opened the door and went in
side. AS he closed the door behind

The passengers grinned and the limo
cent young man blushed furiously.
He could say nothing, so he made his
way TO a seat near the center of the
car and unfolded his paper. At the
corner Of Indiana avenue and Eigh-
teenth street the sour visaged old lady
signaled the conductor to stop. She
arose TO leave the car just as the cor
ner was reached, and on her way out
she was pitched into tho lap of the
young man she had insulted. II was
a glorious victory for him. He did
not get truly even by telling her that
she was intoxicated, but he assisted
her TO her feet, bowed her out and
then grinned all by himself, until he

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 24.-John Wanna
maker, the Philadelphia merchant prince, ar
rived in this city yesterday morning, and inn
mediately took a hack and drove to Gen
HaiIisons residence. Private Secretary Hal
ford came out Of the door as the hack drove
up and seemed surprised when Wanamaker
alighted. When Wanamaker reached the
door Gen. Harrison was there 10 greet him,
and the two shook hands warmly. The Wis
itor was presented to Mrs. Harrison upon en-.
terimg the front parlor, and a short time after
ward luncheon was announced. After the
meal Gen. Harrison and bis guest repaired to
the parlor and had a private conference last
ing till nearly o'clock At that hour Wanna
soon left the city.
Ii appears that Wanamaker had not given
Gen. Harrison notice of his coming, and
while the morning papers said that he was en-
route here, the general did not expect him
till last night and for that reason his private
conveyance was not sent TO the station.
Nothing has been given out regarding the OBJ
ject of the visit, but Republicans generally
concede that Wanamaker has been offered the
position of postmaster general, and the offer
had only to he accepted. 1t is also said that
Gen. Harrison has been impressed with the
fitness of the Philadelphia merchant for that
position and that all he has heard of the man
since his election has tended to confirm the
good impression made 10y o general know!-

Shoppers Headache.

Many ladies after an afternoon spcnt
in shopping return homo with q dull
headache, which does not completely
leave them until after nights sleep.
This is called shoppers headache, and
is becoming moro prevalent. There
are q number of causes which produce
this condition. Bad ventilation of
stores, which arc crowded with people
and goods, producing n foul condition
Of the air, is prolific cause. Foul
air fingers about and clings 10 dry
goods especially, and the practice of
heaping remnants and other goods
upon long tables accessible TO the
crowds and constantly handled
by them, is not conducive to
health. The strain of looking
for hours at different colors, often
bright, and the effort to decide which
among tho many articles should be
selected, produce q congestion of the
brain tissue, which causes shoppers
headache. Long continued observa-
ton nccessitates an effort Of the mind,
which, although perhaps not appreci-
able at the time, is cause of the dis
ease. Fatigue has great deal to do
with il, fatigue of muscle as well as
brain. Hours of languid locomotion
and upright position, varied and fire.
quent movements Of the head, restless
ness of tho eyes all produce it. The
muscular strain involved in half n
days shopping is considerable, es-
pecially where ladies are not in the
habit of using their muscles very much
at other times. Fatigue Of mind and
body is the cause of the shoppers head
ache. st. Louis Republic.

Black 1Ppuer.

The two kinds of black pepper
known TO this country come from
Sumatra and Singapore. Very little
pepper is busted before it is ground,
notwithstanding the claims of spice
grinders. The shell or skin on good
pepper contains the essential constitu-
ents of the spice much more than the
inside or kernel, which when free
from the shell produces white, not black
pepper; but the heavy grains, with
the she'll on, make tho best pepper.
Tho Singapore pepper, which is the
best, is separated into heavy and light
grains and tho better quality-the
heavy-is mostly sold whole, while
the'light grains are ground. II is bet
ter for the housekceper 10 buy whole
pepper and grind il herself. Good
housekeeping.

Tho Cost OF Grand Opcra.

The difference between the outlay
and the returns at the Metropolitan
Opera house, New York, averages
81, 600 nightly. In other words, there
is dead loss of between $50, 1000 and
$40, 900 OH four months season. This
is not excessive, if compared with the
figures shown by somo other great
opera houses. The profits in Paris, for
example, are purely nominal, and
against them must be set the annual
subsidy of 100000 granted by the
state A New York opera season in
German costs $500, 900. This includes
$105, 600 for artists salaries and $40,-
600 for the magnificent orchestra. The
rest is spent on scenery, costumes,
chorus, supes and ballet.-The Stage.

holds that where a man insures his
life for the benefit of his wife and then
survives her, the policy will inure TO
the benefit OF the children independ-
emily of the insured's creditors. The
law has long been that where policy
is taken out for tho benefit of any
married woman, it would inurc to her
separate use and benefit, but it is
claimed that the courts have never be-
fore decided the status of tho policy If
the wife died first.-Knights of Honor

IL is probable that Colonel Harry Michel will

directing election for .thc vacant majorship OF

delay In issuing the order. As 10 the man who
will be elected to succeed Major Mcneil, there is
some doubt, but only for reason. IL is rot
known whether Captain Benjamin S Stecn, OF
Company c, the senior captain OF the orguniza-
ton, would accept tho higher office Although
many OF the officers would undoubtedly prefer
a younger man for major. there is not one Of
them but would cast his ballot for Captain Stccn.
not only because Of his popularity and admitted
fitness, but also because 1t is felt that he should
be as much honored by tho regiment as pos
sible. Captain Stccn commanded q company
in the l4th, during the war, in which he lost his
arm and has been actively connected with the
regiment ever since. II, however Captain SteCn
