ROSEBUD AGENCY, s. D., Nov. l9.-The
Indians on this and Pine Ridge agency are
now surrounded by the strongest body Of
United States troops which has been mus
tered in the West since the defeat of Ger
onimo. 1t can be predicted that if some
unfortunate act on the part of the soldiers
does not add to the excitement of the red
skins, the threatened uprising will never
occur. Small detaehments have been NOV
ing iu this direction for the last three days,
and the whole has been done so smoothly
and quietly that not word of warning has
reached the Indians. Doubtless the quick
response Of the army will entirely quiet the
bucks who are now in such . fever over

in the habit of doing this quite frequently
but as she was So years of age she seldom
went beyound the bounds of her own farm.
Nothing has since been seen of her and her
present whereabouts is mystery. All day
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday did the
friends and neighbors search but it still re
mains mystery. To-day searching parties
found q remnant of cloth which 10 supposed
to be piece of binding but many are in
clined to think that these were the
property of some from the garments
of some other person as the vicinity is much
frequentsd by searchers for berries. At
noon today another party was being organ

tertained. She wore rather ancient pat

Bismarck's Gtratery.

While the Germans were laying siege to
Paris about twenty years ago NJ. Thiers
came out of the city to consult with Bis
marck about the proposed capitalization.
Of course it was the Frenchman's duty to
present cheerful front and to seek to con-
vey the impression that things were not in
so desperate condition in Paris as the be
siegers might suppose. On the other hand,
Bismarck was pretty well satisfied that the
besieged Parisians were being starved out,
but of course he intimated no such thing
in the presence Of NJ. Theirs. But after
the conference Bismarck invited NJ Theirs
to dinner, and the Frenchman only too
gayly accepted the invitation.
Then it was that the willy German no.
ticed that NJ. Theirs ate voraciously of the
vegetables and breads, rejected the canned
and picked foods, and partook with seem
ing avidity of the fresh meat. This con-
firmed Bismark's suspicions-Paris was
starving. After M. Theirs went back into
the city there was found in the lavatory
adjoining the apartment assigned to him at
Bismarck's headquarters part of Paris
newspaper, and from certain items in this
bit of newspaper it was learned that the
condition of things in Paris was even more
desperate than had been upposed.-Eugene

It Costs Money to Die in Franco.

After your demise your late residence
will be draped with black inside and out
by the authorities, and your relatives will
be permitted to have no control of any
thing save only a choice as 10 whether your
body shall be embalmed or not. For this
service $500 is charged. In this country
the cost of embalming is from SEQ to so,
but over there they pretend to understand
processes approaching in effectiveness
those of the ancient Egyptians. No private
individual in France is permitted TO en-.
gage in the undertaking business. 1t IS
the same way in Italy, where burial is also
a government monopoly, and in Rnssia all
the embalming Is done by tbs government.

Saved by the Loss of a Train.

A group of old timers were talking about
the weather, and the conversation carried
them back to the great storms Of years
ago. THE quesrest combination l ever
knew" said the judge reeectively, "wns
blizzard death, suspected murder and at
tempted lynching that only miscarried be-
cause the subject missed train.
1.-The winter of 1S79-80, as you all recol-
lect, was very severe one, and many per
sons living On the prairies were frozen to
death. Some time before man named
Crandall had moved from Morris TO a
farm in southeastern Dakota. One day
big storm came up and Mrs Crandall, who
happened to be on the plain with her
youngest child, was caught in the blizzard
and both were frozen to death. Mrs.
Crandall's parents lived in Morris, and
when the sad news Of her death came her
father started for Dakota TO bring back
the remains of his daughter and grand
child. Crandall and his wife had not got
along very well together, and in some way
rumors Of foul play crept out.
THE next afternoon the bereaved father
arrived in Morris with his dead The bod
les were frozen solid, and arrangements
were made to thaw them out. When this
was done Mrs. Crandall's body was exam
ined. A deep wound in her side was found.
1t didn't take the people of Morris long to
make up their minds that murder had been
committed. Crandall, it was thought, had
arrived that night with hts surviving child,
and gone to the house of his mother, who
lived near the village. A lynching party
was organized in short order, and armed
with ropes, etc. The house was visited
and thoroughly searched, but Crandall
was not to be found. His mother insisted
that he had not arrived, but she was not
believed. Finally the crowd gave up the
search and went home Disguised
''The next morning the body of Mrs.
Crandall had been entirely thawed out,
and another examination was made. There
was no sign of the broad cash that horri-
fed the people the night before. There
were no bruiSeS-no signs of foul play
There's mystery for you'll But It developed
after awhile that the flesh had folded to-
gether, giving the exact appearance of a
long and horrible cash. When the body
thawed out the cash disappeared. tell
you, the would-be lynchers of the night
before felt pretty cheap. In an hour or
two Crandal himself arrived in town on
the morning train. He had missed the
train of the night before. That was all
that saved him from lynching. OF course
he could not help hearing about what had
been going on; what he said or thought
never knew, but you can guess. Mime

Wonderful Echoes.

In the Roman Campagns, at the sepul-
cher of Metella, the wife of Sulla, there is
an echo which repeats five times in five
different keys. 1t will also repeat a hexa-
meter line, or any other sentence which
can be spoken in two and half seconds
An echo which repeats seventeen times
is 30 be found between Bingen and Cob
lentz, on the banks of the river Naha. A
popularity Of this echo is that although
the speakers voice may be almost inau-
dible yet the volume of sound apparently
increases in the echo.
In the chapel of the Abercorn family at
Paisley the shutting Of the door produces
an echo which sounds like distant thunder
The echo of the Eagles Nest" at Kill
larney is said to repeat a bugle note at
least 100 times. The effect of firing can
non is to give the impression of thunders
of artillery which die in the distance.
