THERE is some complaint among med
lcal men because DR.. Koch refuses to
make public his method Of preparing
his remedy for tuberculosis, but restricts
experiment to associates in whose skill
he has confidence. 1t should be borne
IN mind that DR.. Koch does not claim
that the results he has gained are en-
urely satisfactory or that his investiga-
hons are complete. His discovery is
shll IN the experimental stage, and in
view OF the manner in which similar
discoveries have been abused and rem
dered ridiculous by luacks his cautious
ness is to be commended rather than
criticised.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 25.-A
Standing Rock Agency IN. d. special
to the Tribune says: o. Stewart, agency
saddler, while out buggyriding yesterday
with his family, visited the Indian camp
four miles from the agency and stopped
to SEQ the Indians perform their relig-
ious ceremony. He began to rebuke
Sitting Bull and others, saying there
was nothing in the Indian religion, and
they ought not to follow it. The In
dians were all nearly naked. Some,
painted hideously, gathered around;
some very mad. They scared Stewart
nearly to death with threatenings. One
OF the Indians, pointing toward the
blazing sun, and shaking Stewart with
the other hand, said: 'See, see, there
he Is now, and an Indian messiah COM
ing. Now, see, seel" compelled Stewart
to look at the sun moment, when he
acknowledged he saw the messiah,
which seemed to please the Indians.
They let him 20, and Stewart came to
the agency as fast as horses could bring
him. He thinks he had narrow es-
cape from massacre.
All is quiet to-day, and the Indians
are drawing commissaries and all APP
pear happy. Sitting Bull is absent, but
his family is here. Major Mclaughlin
is in a happy frame Of mind over the
peaceful state of affairs The only
trouble at all probable is that the mes
siah faction may attempt 10 compel
other Indians to believe as they do.
These Indians are loyal to the Govern
ment, and as much afraid of the messiah
Indians as white people. Every effort
is being made by the agent and loyal
Indians to preserve perfect order.
Reports to the effect Of a stampede
on the other side Of the river in which
five hundred families left their homes

other towns within fifty miles, was
caused by woman living at Lagrace
who, out riding along the river, saw
small number Of Indians on sand
bar this side Of the river. Yelling and
mounting with haste, she galloped
home at full speed and gave the alarm,
and started for Eureka herself. Fami-
lies are now returning to their homes.
The Indians at Sitting Bulls camp are
dancing, but doing no harm, and are
not molested by the authorities. Sol
diers here have been drilled to the
highest efficiency in case they should
be needed. There is daily practice with
Gatling and Hotchkiss guns. No fears
of trouble are entertained by the mill
tary.

The White Mans and the Indians Mes
sah.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 25.-A
Pierre Is. d. special to the Tribune
says: Parties returning from the Chey-
enne Agency state that hardly an Indian
was to be seen there, it being the
monthly ration day. This is most
suspicious circumstance to the authori-
ties, as all the Indians show up always
on ration day. A man named White
field, who runs small trading store on
White river, near Rosebud, arrived
here yesterday and reported that
band of Indians broke in and pillaged
his store during his temporary absence.
He has como to Pierre for safety, as
also has a neighbor ranchman named
Scoville. Tho latter claims to have
conversed with Indian messiah
followers, recently, and they told
him that tho white man had his mes
siah and the Indian could have his;
that the Indian did not stop the white
man from worshiping his Great Spirit,
and that if the white man tried TO
stop the Indian he would fight and kill
all the whites that came near. He only
wanted to be left alone to dance and no
whites must come about And further,
that if the Great Father sent soldiers to
stop them they would be served like
Clusters soldiers were.
The consensus Of opinion here is that
affairs are at critical stage among
the Indians, and that the least thing
will precipitate an outbreak, but il no
interference is offered to the fanatics
they will soon subsido and the excite
ment will pass off.
