desire to call the attention of capt.

Miss M. G. Collins Writes About Sitting

Miss M. G. Collins Writes About Sitting
Bull and the Ghost Dance.
BosToN, Nov. 25.-A letter has been
received by the American Missionary
association from Miss M. @. Collins, whose
regular station is on Grand River, Oak.
She wrote Nov. Is of the present Indian
excitement:
II haye been up to Sitting Bulls and
the dance is in full blast. 1t IS the most
terrible thiug--the old sun dance, with
new name. They dance facing the sun,
as long as possible, and whoop and foam
at the mouth like mad. dogs. They do not
yet cut the bodies, but that will soon
come. The men all dress in war dress,
and paint and feathers, and women also
take part and paint and wear feathers,
which ls new feature (women never
wear feathers.) Sitting Bull stayed in
the sacred tent and everyone entering the
dance for tlrssHsaIas went into tho tent to
be made "wakan" and painted with cres-
cents on forehead, cheeks and chin, and
a cross on nose. l went into the tent and
talked with the old man. He assented
to everything but promises nothing. He
means war"
Miss Collins stated that Sitting Bull
has told the Indians to pay no attention
to the orders of the agent or Of the presi-
dent; that he would bewitch ammuni-
ton Of soldiers SO guns won't kill. He
is thoroughly and hopelessly bad.

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-To appreciate the
real danger with which settlers of Dakota
are threatened, Col. J. Fl. King, govern
ment official, who comes from the seat of
the threatened war, says it is necessary to
come to Chicago. In talking Of the mat
ter today he said:
"Yes; there are lot Of soldiers there.
suppose they might as we'll be there as
anywhere. But as for any need existing
for their presence, we'll, l don't see ii.
One would imagine, to read the reports,
that the noise made by the Indians sharp
ening their scalping knives could be
heard miles away and that for man not
bald headed to venture within the red
skins reach would be tantamount to dis
figuration for life. But the contrary is
true. Any one can go right into their
midst, witness their ghost dance and come
away feeling much as If he had been to q
theatre and quite as free from molesta-
ton. The Indians, when spoken to about
their threatened outbreak, laugh as you
would were you asked if you contem-
plated threshing Sullivan"

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 25.-R. q.
Peters creditors were in session here to-
day. This morning the advisory com
mittee reported that it had looked over
the assets and liabilities since the last
meeting and found ths former decreasing
and the latter increasing materially. The
committee submitted long report of The
investigation which was referred withou
reading to subcommittee of the cred
itors. 1t is probable the creditors will
order the property sold and debts paid as
soon as possible. This course will be
pursued, owing to the heavy interest on
the $2,5OO,OO0 debt which would eat up
all the profits.

Professor Huxley's Aim.

Replying to the president O. the Lin
mean society in acknowledgment Of the
Linnean medal, Professor Huxley gives
an interesting bit Of autobiography.
The aim Of his life, he said, had been, in
the words Of the society motto, ''naturae
discere mores." s'I have endeavored to
show the fundamental unity. Of plant
life and animal life, TO make use Of hy-
potheses as ladders and scaffoldings to be
discarded, perhaps somewhat migrate
fully, when no longer Of use, and to pur-
sue the truth, regardless Of incidental
consequences. From all which it is evi-
dent that Professor Huxley never would
have succeeded in English politics.-New

Shakespeare says, "a rose with

nevertheless, lust at the dawn of
this last decade of the nineteen
century, IN the year of grace 1890,
there Is quite good deal in q
name. ----T''--
A clothier without a name and
reputation Is heavily handicapped
in the race for trade. People like
to buy from dealers whose estab-
lished record is guarantee for
fairness and honesty.
4 Our name, A. NATHAN, The One
Price CIothler, has been before the
public Of Northern Montana for
years and has an established repu-
tation for honesty, fair-dealing
and hearty endeavor to please
customers.
The reputation of a c]othier is
the accumulated evidence of many
transactions with many customers.
A good name can only be founded
on continued merit in merchandise
and fairness in dealing. We can
be surpassed in neither.
Our name has value to you. It
specifies a place where you can
save money by buying better
goods for less money than else
where. Try us and see if this
good name is not we'll deserved.
Perhaps you may hear our GUS
toners speak of the tailor made
clothing we carry, the work of
Stein, Block & Co., wholesale
tailors. There is SO much in them
to talk about it can't be half told.
The fit, the fabric, the fashion,
that extreme "fnesse of finish"
you can't find in other makes.
When we call their suits tailor
made, we mean every suit is made
as much by hand as possible, no
! machine button holes or fimsily
sewed on buttons, but enough said.
The name Stein, Block & Co.,
wholesale tailors, attached to all
their work, speaks for itself.
Our fall goods are coming in.
We are receiving the best goods of
every kind in our line that can be
found.
The latest styles in hats, neck

While We carry the best goods
to be obtained. we also carry an

kinds of trade. We do not carry
the cheapest grades, but will soil
you good goods at prices that will
surprise you !; cheaper than the
cheapest grades can be bought

terest to see our stock. Step in
when you can. Well be glad to

is to be appointed today. The liabilities of
the company are about $2,OOO,OO0. The
application sets forth that the company
conceiving Its duty to be to protect its
property and to treat same as trust fund
for security, first of Its creditors and then
for its stockholders determined to ap-
peal to the court for a receiver, thereby
preventing destruction of their transporta-

follow unless this step was taken. The

Speaking Of Thanksgiving.

Have you, my reader, anything to be
thankful for? Yes, certainly you have.
Who hasn't, here in Great Falls? What
other city on this wide world of ours
has been blessed with such prosperity,
within the short period Of q single year,
as Great Fallsp We think we are safe
in saying not one. As for ourselves we
are thankful for the good fortune that
directed us to this favored city, where
our business has grown far beyond our
most extravagant expectations. Our
efforts to please our patrons have been
fully appreciated, as evidenced by the
liberal patronage our customers have
bestowed upon us in the past. We are
more than pleased with the way our
Suits have sold. At the beginning Of
this last year we concluded to handle
only Tailor-Made Suits. We accord
ingly placed our entire order for Spring
and Summer for these goods, despite
the fact that every suit cost us from %
to Is more than we could buy the same
goods in ''ready-made" garments. But
we had determined to get the best class
of goods and make that could be had,
consistent with a moderate price, and
as we have before remarked, our sales
have more than met our expectations.
We venture to say that we have sold
more suits this year than any two
h, uses in the city, and what is more,
each suit has given the
