on the farms aud ranches south Of Man
dan are fleeing from their homes, be-
lieving that an Indian uprising is near
at hand They urgently demand pro-
lection, and many a farmhouse in
North Dakota will soon bs deserted
unless the settlers receive some assur-
ance that they will not be left to the
mercy of the murderous redskins, who
are now whetting their knives in an
tieipation of the moment when they
may begin their bloody work.
The Indians are trading their
horses and all other property for guns
and ammunition and will be we'll
prepared when the outbreak comes.
Local hardware men have sold all their
ammunition to them. Joseph Buckley
rode in Sunday from the reservation
and says the Indian agents are harbor-
ing feeling of false security and that
the danger will be realized when it is
too late. The mayor of Mandan has
called a public meeting and the Gov
eminent will be petitioned for
guns to arm the citizens The In
dams say they will have every thing to
gain and nothing to lose by an upris-
ing. If they are beaten their rations
will be doubled, as in the past. Buck
ley says every Indian on the reservation
will shortly go on the warpath and that

modern of history. Men are yet living,
and not at an advanced age, who can
distinctly remember when the first rail-
road train in the United States began to
run. What vast improvement there
has b9en from the Rocket of George
Stephens and the small coaches attach
ed, to the ten-wheeler "MoguP' engine,
speeding alone with its train of steam
heated, electric lighted vestibule Pull
mans, containing library, barber shop,
bath rooms, with every comfort and con-
venience to be found in the finest hotels.
Then look at the great railway systems
embracing thousands of miles of road,
and covering territory which would
make respectable kingdom in the Old
World, Pre-eminent among those is
1.-The Burlington, with its 5000 miles
in ten States and Territories, and form

travellers between the metropolitan cit
