Arbitrary Elevators.

Aberdeen News: The refusal of the
elevators to pay cash for wheat shows
how completely the farmers are at the
mercy OF the present shipping arrange
ments. There is no good reason why
railroads should not handle wheat as
they do other merchandise. If they were
compelled by law to furnish facilities for
the handling Of grain, the market for
that product would be "open" as the
potato market. The cereals could be
shipped by he farmer or merchant to the
best market. Until this is done there
will be a liability to trouble.
Churches Ferry Sun: We believe
street buying to be the only legitimate
way of handling the farmers produce.
There is no more justice in fixed mar
gin by common arbitrator for the sev-
eral elevator companies than there
would be in our general merchants
agreeing to charge the same price for
goods. Competition is the life of trade,
but tho only competition now existing in
the wheat business is the good looks and
popularity of the agents--the prices are
all the same. The proper way for the
farmer to dispose of his wheat is by auc-
tion to the highest bidder-the same way
IN which the elevator company dispose
of it when they get the wheat on the
Minneapolis market. When private
buyers can come on our markets and
bid on the farmers produce, we will
have good markets, but until that time
comes, dissatisfaction will exist.
Bottineau Pioneer: We have two
grain buyers in town now. Mr.. Jacob
Schroeder of Willow City Is buying here
and loading it on cars. Wheat Is said to
have advanced two cents in consequence
and grading seems more satisfactory.
Verily-opposition is the life of trade.

The Alliance Semi-Tropical Industrial
exposition was opened in fine style on
the first day OF our session.
The citizens of Ocala, and indeed of

of the smaller cities through which I have
pasesed on my trip of 1890 miles. This

Particulars Of Bulls Death,


The following account of the arrest
and death of Sitting Bull GENE over the
wires last night from Bismarck, having
been taken from Ft. Yates to that place
by courier:
The troops at this post have been pre-
pared to march at one hours notice for
the past two weeks. On Sunday night
the 14th inst, the order was given at
ll:45, mounted expedition under Capt
E. G. Fechet, consisting OF troop f Sth

That their reputation was deserved is
is fully attested in the determined man.
ner in which they carried out their in1
struetloDs, in the fearlesspess with which
they faced death and the deadly effect of
their efforts to protect themselves and
carry ont their undertaking. The police
under Bull Head, lieutenant of policd
and Shave Head, went into camp near
Sitting Bulls village last night and this
morning Went into Bulls camp and made
the arrest Sitting Bull expressed his
Willingness to go with them, but wanted
to make some preparations for the ride
and ordered his horse to be gotten ready.
While Bull Head and Shave Head were
in the shack where the old chief was get,
ting ready, two bucks enveloped in
blankets entered the shack and throwing
off their blankets opered fire on the
police and Sitting Bulls wife had gone
out and set up a howl which seems to
have been the signal for the assault. In
the fight which followed, Red Tomahawk
killed Sitting Bull. Ten or more of Sit
ting Bulls followers we're killed. Seven
police we're killed and Bull Head and
Shave Head were desperately wounded
and will undoubtedly die. The police
were now surrounded. but at this juno
ture Capt. Fechet with his cavalry, u

after an hour and Il half of hot skirmish-

Sitting Bull Killed.

BISMARCK, N. d., Dec. l6.-Special-
Rumors Of sharp fight yesterday be-
tween the TT. Yates troops and band of
Standing Rock Indians reached here last
night. Among the killed was Sitting
Bull. An official dispatch from Stand
ing Rock to the General Miles gives the
following particulars: This morning
Indian police started out to arrest Sit
ting Bull, having understood he PROPOSE
ed starting for the Bad Lands at once.
A troop of cavalry under Captain Fauchet|
and infantry under Colonel Drum fol
lowed to support the police IN case of
necessity. When the police reached
Bulls camp, about forty miles from|
Standing Rock, they found arrangementsI
beng made for departure. The police
arrested Bull and started back with HIM
before the soldiers had arrived, the mi
fantry not having made much more tha1k
half the distance at the time, and thd
cavalry being the Same distance back
The old chiefs followers rallied GulcklJ
and tried to effect his recapture. I4S
the fight that ensued Sitting Bull is
said to have been killed, and five of thb
Indian police were also killed. One OF
the Indian police jumped on the hors
belonging to Sitting Bull and rode back
to the cavalry and infantry, telling them
to hurry up to the support of tht
4 ,.>I &l,
agency with the news of the battle.
Another official dispatch says that Siti
ting Bull, five of hls men and seven In(
dian police were killed as Il result Of tho
= 2attempt to arrest the old chief.
Later dispatches from Bismarck con-
firm the report of the killing OF Bull and
fifteen Indians. No whites we're killed
in the sklrnlsh. Bull was over 60 years
old. He has always been a leader plan
ming the Sioux fights and keeping uu
the race hatred against the whites. He
never took an active part in the fighting
himself When the Sioux fled to CAM
ada after the Custer battle in 1876 they
only returned to the United States undet
pressure of starvation. They had eaten
all their ponies and dogs and there being
no buffalo were comp 9 to accept this
governments terms. Bull was the blS
medicine man who directed all these
movements. tie has always claimed
that he never surrendered, bat gave hid
gun to his son who surrendered it. HID
has resisted all civilization and has had
the most influence in pursuading other
Indians to do the same. This last move
of going from Standing Rock to the Bad
Lands was probably scheme to get the
government to give extra ratiOns.

A Mere Matter of Business.

The Tribune OF last evening at
tackled the Fair programme for
not publishing the Democratic
ticket as it did the Republican.
The first issue of the Fair Pro-
gramme published the Republican
ticket because it was ordered in
as an advertisement by r. K. Col
cord and in the next issue it pub
lished the Democratic ticket be-
cause it was ordered in as an ad-
vertisement by Theodore Winters.
The fact that the paper is print
ed at the APPEAL job office instead
OF the Tribune, which office pub
lished it last, has nospecial signif-
cence in the matter except that it
demonstrates the light Of every
American citizen to take his bust
ness to p aces which give him the
best satisfaction as to price and
quality.

The Funeral of Mrs. Noteware
at st. Peters Church yesterday
drew the isgSest gathering that
the edinee MS seen for years. The
press was - great that the school
room il the rear was filed with
people. When the coffin was
bourne up the aisle it was followed
by the eight boys who composed
Mrs. Noteware's Sunday School
class. They followed the pail
bearers, and all had bouquets Of
flowers which they deposited with
the large floral display about the
coffin, which rested in the midst
Of elaborate designs of crosses,
anchors and pillows, such as have
seldom been seen in this city.
The singing by Mrs. Bender,
Miss French, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Geo.
Cagwin, J. D. Torreyson, Harry
Cobb and others was inexpressibly
beautiful, and a feature Of the
service.
Rev. J. Fred Holmes preached
a touching discourse which held
the attention of the congregation
for nearly an hour The usual

services at the grave.
The pail bearers were Judges
Hawley and Murphy, Gen. Clarke,

class followed the coffin to the
grave, and the turnouts and car
riages which attended the funeral
reached the entire length of Main

The weather still continuing
cloudy with slight showers, there

track was muddy and dotted with

The trainers aud jockies kept
