LONDON, Dec. 14.-Lord Tollemachc,
who died this week at the age OF s.. was
considered the model landlord OF Eng.
land. He provided each cottage tenant
on his vast estate with three acres and a
COW, and spent El5O,CO0 in building
farmhouses, and el39, 600 in the con.
strrction Of laborers' cottages. His es-
tates were broken up into 200.acre iarme,
as he always maintained that was just
the quantity OF land upon which a
thrifty farmer could live and prosper.
He used 10 say that the only real and
lasting pleasure derived from possession
OF q landed estate 10 to witness the i'm
p.ovemcnt ip social condition OF these
residing on it, sentiment which may
be commended to landlords in Ireland
and elsewhere. This fine old English
gentleman rode to hounds regularly un.

OMAHA, NEBi Dec. 1.-THE : ,Bse's
special from Pine Ridge Agency says:
About 0 o'clock last night great
light suddenly blazed up in
the northwest in the direction OF
the Bad Lands. The light faded to
a sullen glow and then spread along
the sky for the distance of q
couple OF miles. Men posted in In.
dian signals in the camp said this
means that the Indians in the Bad
Lands had determined to fight. It is
thought that the conflict between the
Indians and cowboys on Battle Greek

were killed, inaamed the Indiana.
The guards here will be doubled.
The Sixth, Seventh and Eigth caval.
~ and 800 State militia are under

that fight with the hostiles is now

KANSAS Cry, Dec. Twisting in
this city at the home Of Roland P. Conk.
lin is a lady, who, while already well
known in the literary world, will in

which will without question place her
on unique plane, one never yet occu-

The Undertaking in which sbe is about

She has been for q long time an init
mate friend Of Henry NJ. Stanley. Mrs.
Sheldon says thst her venture is no mis-.

any institution or government; it is not
to attack or defend anything or any
body. She is going simply because ehe

goes to Africa for the purpose OF learn.
