General Miles Believes Danger il
Imminent.
THE CAUSE OF FHE TROUBLE.
The Indians Prefer to Die Fighting to Starv

Held in Readiness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. General Miles in
an interview to-day on the Indian troubles
said he believes danger is imminent. 1.-The
seriousness of the situation" he said, "has
not been exaggerated. Disaffection is more
liable to spread than for years. The con-
spiracy of Indians of different tribes that
heretofore have been hostile but are now
in full sympathy with each other, is scat
tered over large area of country and the
causes of the difficulty are easy of loca-
ton. Insufficient food supplies, religious
delusion and the innate disposition of the
savage to go to war must be held response

every thing will be ready in few days,
though. Troops and supplies en-. route will
be rushed speadily. All possible is being
done to encourage the loyal, and influence
the hostile Indians and in this way an out
break may be Diverted
General Miles referred to the great
necessity which existed for more cavalry,
although he said, 1--WE have about Two
thousand mounted men, we nave plenty of
infantry, but you can't catch mounted In
dams with white foot-soldiers."
rs it not a novel proceeding for the In
dams to go on the war-path at the begin
ming of winter!n queried the reporter.

general. Their argument is good thou gh

F'orty-1ve stood up amid the widest en-
thuslasm. Then an eX-soldier from Wis
consin called upon all union men to give
three cheers for old consederates in the
alliance. They were given with a
will, after which the confederates returned
the compliment in manner that left no
doubt as to the genuineness of their feel
rgs.
Expressions of dissatisfaction are heard
with reference to the conduct of DIR. Ma
| cone, editor of the National Economist, in
taking part in the recent senatorial fight
IN Georgia. 1t is also charged that he has
violated the policy of the alliance in the
advocacy of the Conger lard bill and oppo-
sition to the Paddock pure food bill. This
matter will come up for consideration in a
dav or two and likely cause considerable
debate.

of the National Colored Farmers alliance

large number of them into the voting rank:

A NOTE WORTHY EXCEPTION.
From the Ktmbau Is. D. Graphic

From the ktmbdu Is. ID. Grdphtc.
While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionable adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowingly of the merits of the
various articles of merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medi-
cines. But there are exceptions occasionally,
and noteworthy exception is the cele-
brated Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
This now universally known, medicine
has been advertised in the Graphic for
four or five years but not until recently
had we any personal knowledge of its won
derful efficacy which has come about
through the prevailing influenza and the
stubborn cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this winter cured
cough that baffied any and al other
remedies; and the number of families in
kimball and vicinity, in which this remedy
has been used with like effects, attests to
its value as specific for coughs and colds
