OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 25.-A special from
Pine Ridge says: 1t is learned tonight
that Indians are en- route from Rose
bud, 800 strong, plundering the deserted
settle rs houses along the route, also
killing cattle and feasting on fresh beef
Seventy-five Cheyennes were enlisted as
scouts by General Brooke tonight
Watch is being kept over Red Clouds
band, as it is feared small raiding parties
are about to start from his camp. There
were no disquieting developments at
Pine Ridge today. The issue of rations
goes on, many of the dancers are coming
in for them, and being treated the same
as the others.
The ranches which the Rosebud In
dians have been raiding, were vacated
by the occupants when the exodus of
settlers occurred two weeks ago. so there
is no danger OF. any loss of life. Colonel
Wheaton arrived today with several
companies of infantry, and he and Gen
eral Brooke had long consultation, the
purport of which is not learned.
Scouts arrived this evening report
that the ghost dancers have concen-
trated their forces, and tomorrow Little
Wound will ride in for a conference
with the agent and General Brooke
Until yesterday large percentage of
the Cheyenne Indians were camped
with Red Cloud, but they have moved
away from his camp and established
their own. This action. and the will
ingness of the Cheyennes to join the
scouts, has engendered a bitter feeling
between the two tribes, and the alli-
ance OF the Cheyennes with the mill
tary, which is taking place, is likely to
make the Sioux even more bitter toward
the soldiers than they have been.
MINNEAPoL1s, Nov. 25.-A Tribune
special from Pierre says: Everything
is quiet at the Cheyenne agency. At
the hostile camp on Cherry creek, how
ever, yesterday several turbulent Indi-
ans captured an entire herd of cattle,
which were to be slaughtered for their
monthly rations, and taking them to
their village, issued them to suit them
selves: while the man in charge dared
make no resistance.

New YORK, Nov. 25.-The long ex-

trey tcolored), of Providence, and Ed
Smith, of Denver, took place tonight in
Hoboken, under the auspices OF the
Puritan Athletic club OF Long Island
City, and resulted in a victory for God
frey. Jerre Dunn was referee, and
held a $4,000 purse. From the start
it was plain Smith was overmatched.
He made game fight, however, and
several times resumed work after he was
apparently done for Godfrey gained
advantages in nearly every round, and
in the twenty-third landed a heavy
Highlander on Smiths ear. Smith
staggered and nearly fell, and as he was
making an effort to again put up his
hands, referee Dunn stopped the fight,
giving it to Godfrey.

MINNEAPoLIs, Nov. 25.-The Tribune's
Standing Rock special says: Two scouts
returned today to Fort Yates, from a
visit to Sitting Bulls camp. They found
Bull and his adherents very ugly. He
told them he understood soldiers were
coming to take him, but he had his rum
ne1s out and on the first news Of SOL
diers he and his people would leave.
They have abandoned the white mems
houses, said he, and will not return to
them or to the agency. The supposition
here is chat if Sitting Bull hears of Sc
rious trouble at Pine Ridge, or if the
military attempt to take him, he and
his followers will make at once for the
lower agency, thereby declaring war.

Iwrite against the evil of wearing soft
hats. have made this careful study
and have found that the soft hat will
eventually produce badness. The band
of the soft hat being so soft and flexible
that it very readily falls into every line
and curve Of the head, it thus excludes
every particle of air, thereby producing
an intense heat and rotting the roots Of
the hair. find that the healthiest hat
for a man to wear is the silk hat, both
summer and winter, not only ON account
of the stiffness of the band, which pre-
vents it from falling so close into mans
head, but because the space which is in
side of it allows a free circulation of air.
In England, for instance, there are not
nearly so many bald headed people as
there are in this country, even in pro
portion to the population, but there are
a great many more silk hats worn there.
The young men begin to wear them
there at the age of 10 years.
To show you the difference in the pro
ductiop Of silk hats here and in England
/ find from the statistics that England,
with population of about 90. 900 600 in,
habitants, has employed in the manu-
faeture Of silk hats about 1900 men,
while the United States, with popula-
ton of more than 10000, 900, has only
about 800. Can you wonder that there
are so many bald headed men here2

RiVals.

A newspaper proprietor, who is now q
wealthy man, tells an amusing story Of
one Of his early ventures. He went to the
west when bnt 23 years old with a capital
of only two on three hundred dollars. He
had done some reporting for local paper
at home and had a smattering of the
printers art. Hearing OF new town in
the mountains, town OF which great
things were expected, he decided to
establish newspaper there forthwith.
He borrowed some money TO add TO
his meager capital, and started alone for
the field with his little hand-press and
type and paper in wagon.
The journey was about fifty miles in
length and mostly up hill The muddy
road made the travelling slow and
difficult, SO that it was almost dark
when, ON the second day, he came within
sight of the new town still FIVE miles
distant
just then, as he pulled through q
slough at curve in the road, he over
took a fellow traveller whose old wagon,
to which was hitched bony horse, was
hopelessly fast IN the mud.
Our young newspaper man promptly
unhitched his horse and went to the other
mans assistance, For nearly an hour
the two lien pushed and the two horses
pulled. Finally the horses gave mighty
tug at the right moment and the cart
was pulled ont Of the mud.

"The way in which men learn trades
in this age Of the world, said man

lis at variance with the way they used

went to trade he began and mastered
it piece at u time. And by and by he
could make whatever he was working
upon entire. I know a man who works
in watch factory He has been there
eleven years, and all he knows is how
to make balance wheel. Aside from
that he knows no more about the mech
anism Of watch than a man who never
saw one.
"Another man / know works in a wag-

ing else. Another man works on spokes,
another on the tongue, and SO on, but
not one Of them knows how to put up a
wagon as whole. The result is If one
section of the labor in large factory
goes on a strike it throws the whole shop
out Of balance What affects part af-
fects the whole. Labor has made great
strides in the last twenty years. This
thing of teaching one mechanic one thing

Meissonier's picture of Napoleon in
1914, only 80 inches by 20, has just been
sold for e84 900, the highest price ever
given for the work of living artist.
The art world naturally exults over this
solid proof of appreciation; but we won
der whether it really benefits by these
prices even in a pecuniary sense. We
suspect not 1t is found in the literary
world that an overpowering demand for
a single book arrests the sale of books in
general, the reservoir of cash for buying
books being in any one year fixed
quantity. If that economic rule extends
to art, M. Meissonier's phenomenal tri-
umph just prevents thirty-four artists
from receiving e1, 900 apiece. That may
be good or bad for art-we are not decid-
ing-but it limits sadly the number of
art producers, among whom might be
found, if we may in the teeth of the
market suggest so audacious a possibil-
ity, even M. Meissonier's superior. That
the huge price will help M, Meissonier
to paint still better is an assumption re-
futed by all art history. Spectator.
