MORE ALARMING NEWS.
Making All the Necessary Prepars-
tions for War.

OMAHA, Dec. IA Bee special from
Pine Ridge says: Judge Burns, of
Deadwood, arrived tonight, having run
the gauntlet of the hostile camp, and
declares he Is thankful he escaped with
his life.
He says the ghost dance Is going on
all day and night, and is varied occa-
sionally with an old war dance. The
hostile band is made up almost alto
gether of young men who have disre-
garded the advice of their old chiefs.
Judge Burns corroborates fully the
previous reports as to the abundance
of food and ammunition which they
have and says they are making up big
supplies of n new pattern OF tomahawk
which are more ugly than the old style.
What friendly Indians there are left at
the agency are coming in and telling
Agent Rcyer they wish things
could be settled without blood

that he is afraid it is too late to take

to persuade his braves to forego hostil-
titles, and he barely escaped from them

CAPTAIN JACK WILSON
The Real Messiah Is Now
Found.
lE C0NSULTS WITH MESSIAH
He Predicted Rain, and It Came
No Trouble Need Be
Feared.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.--Mr. Mayhugh,
until recently special census agent OF
the Indians of Nevada, has written the
Indian bureau about the Messiah, who
had been referred 10 in the dispatches
as "John Sides"
Mr.. Mayhugh says his name is not
Sides, but Captain Jack Wilson, and
that he is known to the Indians as
Co. we-Jo. He goes into frances, SEEM
ingly. for several hours at time, in the
presence of a gathering of Indians ON
coming out of these frances he tells
them he has been to heaven comforting
with the Messiah; that the latter Is
coming to the earth and will put the
Indians in possession of 1t, etc. The
Messiah is TO appear on Mount Grant,
about sixteen miles south of the Walker
River agency building
Mr.. Mayhugb says the Indians hold
this to he sacred mountain. He
thinks If the Indians are let alone at
the various reservations the whole
thing will die out. All Of the Walker
Lake Indians don't believe in it, al
though Chief Joseph seems to.
Co-we-Jos influence is greatly
strengthened by the fact that he has
once or twice predicted the coming of
rain when badly needed.

SQUADRON
Royalty Received at the
White House.
A NICE LUNCHEON WAS SERVED
A Cordial Invitation of Welcome
Extended the Brazilians by
the President.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-A formal
presentation to the president of the
officers of the Brazilian squadron took
place at the White house this afternoon.
All tho rooms were Illuminated and dec
GRATED, electric lights being used in the
blue parlor, where a reception occurred
for the first time.
About noon the distinguished visitors
met at Secretary Blaine's home. AT 1
o clock the party started for the exec
utive mansion. The visitors numbered
twenty-five. Secretary Blaine led the
party, Admiral Walker and Captain No
ronka coming next. Arriving ut the ex-
ecutiye mansion the party were shown
to the blue room, where were gathered a
number of prominent officials of the
government, including all the cabinet
officers, Speaker Reed, General Scofeld,
Colonel Vincent Admiral J. G. Walker
and the Brazilian minister and suites.
In a few minutes the president appeared,
escorted by Secretary Blaine, who intro
duced to him Admiral Silveira. The
admiral. holding in his hand package,
said:
"Mr. Harrison: 1t affords me great
pleasure as n representative OF the gov
ernment of Brazil to present you this
letter, expressive of sentiments of the
United States and their feeling of appre-
citation for the early recognition by your
government of the independence OF the
republic of Brazil and for the visit of a
magnificent squadron under command
of Admiral Walker. | am also charged
to present you this medal, struck to conf
memorate these events, and | trust 1t
will prove a fitting symbol of relations
that will exist between the people of the
two countries"
The president responded as follows:
Admiral; 1t gives mo profound salts
faction to hear from your lips and re-
ceive from your hand these evidences
of the friendly regard of the president
and people of the United States of Brazil.
We welcomed her to the family of the
Amnrican commonwealth with pro
found interest and with the strongest
hopes that her government and people
may realize that order and prosperity
which come as we believe, in the high
est degree from the representative civil
institutions which our people now en-
joy, and which yours have now adopted.
We are glad to receive you and your
squadron into our hospitable ports, ana
am glad to receive you and your Off
GERS to the hospitality of the executive
mansion. We trust the friendly rela-
tions, so early and so auspiciously be-
gun between these sister republics, may
pe unbroken, and may be to our mutual
advantage and happiness"
After these ceremonies the visitors
were escorted to AN informal luncheon
in the state dining room. An elaborate
menu was served, including terrapin,
oy sters, fish, salads and jellies, with
champagne claret ana sherries. 1t was
served standing. 1t was after 3 o clock
when the party separated.
Tonight the president and Mrs. Har-
rison gave a reception in honor of the
Brazilian officers. 1t was a brilliant

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Manhoo o cd OF America VS.. the American
Dollar.

OCALA, Fla, Dec. 1.-The annual
meeting of the Farmers Alliance begins
Tuesday. In an interview to-day
President Polk said the national alliance
will stand squarely on the platform
adopted at st. Louis. Referring to the
recent election, he said for the result one
must look beyond the Mckinley bill.
People, he said, have scratched away all
the rubbish of the negro question,
bloody shirts, tariff and federal control
of the elections. 1t is the money power
rule of plutocracy that has been keeping
the people down, and henceforth it is
Il iinancial reform, and the national bank.
ing system must 20.
Farmers and laborers must be given a
chance to get what money they need
upon security of their real property.
The issue is to be square one between
the manhood of America on ono side
and the great American dollar on the
other, and unless the leaders of the great
parties recognize the real issue and
make it there are going to be terrible
times in the country. Sectionalism can
not pull people apart any longer. We
are sick of that rubbish, and only men
who can secure popular support are
those who understand the great economy
of the questions of the day.

A TRAGEDY AT DAYTON
An Estimable Lady Shot
and Killed
WHILE TRYING TO STOP A FIGHT
A Quarrel Between Two Farm
Hands the Cause.-The Muir
derer at Large.

DAYTON, WASH, Dec. 1.-The saddest
tragedy ever enacted in this county oc-
CURED here last night, about IL o'clock,
resulting IN the death d Mrs. Sarah
Hester, who lives on f,rm six miles
out. There had been company at the
house during the evening, but all had
taken leave excepting Charles Anderson,
who stayed until he was asked to go by
Charles Robinson, who las been run
ming the farm for Mrs. Hester. 1t seems
that Anderson has also been employed
on the farm during the year, but was re-
Gently discharged. On bling ordered to
go he became enraged, ind, drawing a
revolver, snapped four tines at Robin
son, but the pistol failed to fire. Mrs.
Hester rushed between tie men and sue
ceeded in putting Anderon out. In the
meantime Robinson hadsecured a shot
gun, and shouted: LET him GO; I'll fix
him." He had the gun cooked, and in
the excitement pulled ne trigger while
the gun was pointed at Mrs. Hester. A
heavy charge of goose not entered her
left side and she died n few seconds.
AS she fell, she said: "Oh, you have
shot me-"
Anderson ran for his life leaving his
horse aud hat behind, Robinson came
to town, reported what he had done, and
gave himself up, but,aas not yet been
placed In Jail. Anderson is still at
large. He was tracked from the farm to
the city. Searchers are out in all direc-
tions. A note was found on the Hunt
railroad bridge this afternoon which
reads, "You will find my body in a hole
below here" 1t is thought Anderson
wrote ii.
Mrs. Hester was a very estimable and
beautiful lady. She leaves a family of
five grown sons and two young
daughters

and Slosson 46. The game went on
without any large runs until the seven
tecnth inning when Jake by beautiful
playing. scored 73 points. The score
then stood; Schaefer, 247 Slosson. l62.
In tho nineteenth Schsefer gave q
wonderful display. Getting the ivorles
on the line, he played them back and
forth as II on wire. He reached and
passed the 100 mark SAFELY, and still
kept on ticking the ivorie,. The audi
ence sat breathlessly Waiting, and
scnaefer finally stopped, after making
1913 points.
From this time on the Wizards ex-
cellent playing seemed to have ratified
Slosson badly. AT the end of the twen-
ty-second inning the score stood: :
Schafcr, 403; Slosson, 223. Betting was
three and four to- one against Slosson.
In the twenty fourth Jake scored seven
ty-three more points while Slosson
made four. In the twenty seventh
Schafer made twenty-sevsn and Slosson
forty-two. The score at the end of the
twenty ninth was: Scha,ier, 544; Slos-
son, 324. ....
In tho thirty.secoud schaefer gave an
other great exhibition Of nursing, and
rolled up so points. Sloson seemed to
play hard, and yet some of his errors
would have shamed an amateur. After
the thirty-second, however, he did bet
ter than Jake, but il was too late. lie
made two runs of go and one of 81, but
in the forty tirst inning Schaefer ran out
the 500, leaving Slosson at 6O5. Aver
ages, Schaefer, 1921-41; slo,son, IA 26-4l.

CIVIL SERVICE REPORT
Over 10000 People in the
classified Service.
TO DO AWAY WITH PATRONAGE
The Evil of Political Assessments
Stopped to a Considerable
Extent.

WAsHINGroN, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port OF the civil service commission
states that the classified service has
grown to include more than 80, GOO peo-
pie.
During the first year of Cleveland's ad-
ministration between and s per cent,
of the appointments made during the
previous administration were removed
or resigned. OF those who came into the
departmental service through the civil
service examinations during Cleveland 5
administration, a little more than per
cent. were removed or resigned during
the first year of the present administra-
tion. This difference of u per cent is so
small that 1t may be entirely disre-
garded.
In customs and postal service the re-
suit is less satisfactory.
Comparing the report in percentages
OF removals in the classified service in
each postotfice with the number of re-
movas made in unCiassitied and ex-
cepted places, the difference is astonish-
ing. In some cases the percentage
ranged from to 2S, in others from 46
to over 90, and average about seven
times as great among those employees
not protected by law as among those
pIONcCttu iHe COHCluslOu Is lTcslSllDIe
either that where the law does not apply
for appointing oili to be put In the
excepted and unclassified places Of in
competent persons, or else that their
SUCCESSORS remove from these places
men who are competent and who there
fore are removed for reas ons uncon-
nected with good services.
the report continues that the portions
of the civil service law interdicting poit-
ical assessments have not entirely
stopped the evil, but it is undoubtedly
much abated. There is one point par
ticularly where the law is systematically
evaded by sending letters soliciting cam
paign subscriptions to government en-
ployes at their homes. There seems no
reason why outsiders should be allowed
TO solicit clerk at his home and forbid
ding his doing so in the government
building, and the law should be
amended so as to forbid the solicitation
of government employees by outsiders in
any way, at any time or in any place.
1t can not be too often reiterated that,
while the law may not work with ideal
perfection, an actual experience for
seven years has shown it produces, on
the whole, a better government admins
tration than does the patronage system.

NOT SD FAVORABLE.
General Miles Asks for Mounted
Infantry.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Reports rs-
ceived at the war department to-day
from the locality OF the threatened In
dian troubles are less favorable than
for several days past. They indicate
that between one and two thousand of
the Indians who refused TO come into
the Rosebud agency in response to the
agents order, started westward to what
is known as the Bad Lands.
In their stampede they have commit
ted depredations on the cabins and
stock OF the friendly Indians who went
into the agency.
General Brooke telegraphs this infor-
nation is not from his own scouts. He
expects fuller information soon. These
alarming reports have again been the
subject of consultation Between Secre-
tary Proctor and Generals Schotield and
Miles. The latter has asked General
Schotieldthat additional troops be placed
at his command. 1t is understood his
request was for mounted infantry. The
department will soon have a large num-
ber of troops at its disposal in the re-
gion where the turbulent Indians are
gathered. The Sixth cavalry is now on
its way to the scene.

THE INDIAN OUTBREAK
Fears That 1t May Yet
Prove Serious.
ON THE MARCH TO PINE RIDGE
This Was the Day Set for the
Appearance of the Indian
Messiah.

OMAHA, Dec. IA special to the Bee
from Pine Ridge, late tonight, says
that Red Hawk and Guy Belt, agency
police, have just returned from spy
work ut tho camp of hostiles III the Bad
Lands. one had his horse shot from
under him and both were chased away
with bullets. The hostiles said they
were prepared for last great battle, and
all arc thirsting for blood.
Another special to the Bee from Pine
Ridge says the Indian police last night
notified Agent Roger that panic had
been caused In the camp ofthe friendlies
by an urgent invitation to join the
dancers. Roger sent an extra guard OF
a hundred scouts, but in spite ofthis the
Indian village melted away during the
night and this morning over two-thirds
of the 5000 who were there last night
had disappeared. 1t is learned the hos
tiles moved their camp into the Bad
Lands and there await tho coming OF
troops.
Scouts say that region is better
adapted for the Indian purposes than
the lava beds of Oregon. 1t is an ut
terly barren region of precipitous cliffs
and canyons, and few white men are ac-
quaintcd with IL, but the Indians know
it perfectly. From the fact that IL will
be possible for Indians from there to
continue raids on settlers on the sur
rounding lands with impunity consti-
tutes the reason, according to the cor
respondent why troops should push
after the Indians now. Scouts also
brought information that hostiles had
slaughtered 800 cattle mostly govern
ment property.
General Brooke to-day received dis
patch from General Ruger, warning him
that about 1000 Cheyenne warriors are
on their way from the Cheyenne reser-
vation to join the hostiles.
This was the day set for the appear
ance of the Messiah, but ho did not APP
pear.

THEY have A LAUGH.
Indians Enjoy tho Reports OF the
Alarm They Raised.

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 29,-The fact that
several companies of troops have
reached the Bad Land country, ana will
head oil any marauding Indians haJ re-
suited in subsistence to a large extent of
the scare. An Indian who was sent to
Big Root and Hamps camps at the mouth
of Cherry creek some time ago returned
to Fort Bennett to-day and says the in =
tention of the hostiles Is apparently to
soon join Short Bull on Pass creek and
subsist there during the winter on cattle
auartered in the Bad Lands.
He said there were q number of edu-
Gated Indians among the Cherry Greek
hostiles, who came to Pierre regularly
and bought copies of papers. These
they took back and read to the other
Indians. The Indians, he said, enjoyed
greatly the reports Of great alarm
every where among the whites. 1t
seemed to strengthen their belief that
the Messiah was coming, and the whites
either ready to die off or leave the land
to the Indians.

Jealousy among tho chiefs and Indians.
Little Wound made several statements,
which were directly at variance with
facts and therefore all his talk was
taken with allowance.

tion. The correspondent asserts an in

of the Indian bureau is largely respon-

WILL NOT BE ARRESTED.
Buffalo Bill WIN Not Take Sitting
bull,

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. GA special from
Standing Rock agency to tho Tribune
says that Buffalo Bill and Powell had
not been many hours at the agency to-
day before the report spread that they
had come for the purpose of arresting
Sitting Bull and removing him from the
reservation. Cody and one or two others
left for Bulls camp about noon. Trouble
is anticipated in case an arrest Is at
tempted, and soldiers at Fort Yates are
prepared for q campaign at a moments
notice.
Information was obtained tonight
that the commanding officer of the post
received instructions from General Miles
to postpone the arrest of Sitting Bull for
the present. Agent Mclaughlin has
couriers out to catch Buffalo Bill.
Messengers from Bulls camp last night
reported the dance going ON, but every
thing was quiet.
