HE DIDN'T DIE.
A NATIVE TACKLES A FREE LUNCH C0UN-
TER.
The wOeful Story Of Old Bill Talbot's First anc
Only Visit 10 the City Of Nashville,
Tennessee.
fCOPYRIGHTED. |

Old Bill Talbot, of East Tennessee, was
summoned to Nashville to appear as a wit
ness before the United States Court. The
old fellow had never before seen a town,
but he was by no means dazed. He looked
with Indifference at the State capitol-he
blinked with unconcern at the electric
lights. and regarded railroad engine, the
first he had ever seen, with a sort of mild
contempt but along IN the afternoon he en-
countered something that made him
gasp with establishment. In company
with bailiff he went into saloon, and
there on table he saw an elaborate lunch
of the free species. There was roast as
large as a horseback, half bushel oil
slaw, an enormous baked fish and a NUMBER
of other appetizing features.
Hanged if they don't b'l'eve in eatin'
in here any how,m said Bill, as he gazed
longingly at the spread. "Ef Jest mad

his pegs set right"
money, said the baliff; ''why it won't
cost you anything. It's free"
1t was then that old Bill lost his breath.
''Whatl'' he exclaimed you don't mean
TO say that | mout pitch III thar an ne
myself"
That's what you can do"
Look here, don't tamper with me this
way. You may joke my clothes and you
NAV call me an old fool, but don't low no
man to projic with my appetite"
I'm not joking What tell you is true:
Just 20 up there now, and help yourself"
The old fellow threw aside his brown
jeans coat and spared himself at the table.
Old FOUNDERS had never seen man eat
with such determination. Every once in a
while he would look up and say: Beats

notion of tradin' the gray mar of, but II is
all too late now.n
"Say. I'm not going to let you lie here
any longer Come, see if you can't get up"
added the bailiff, attempting to raise him.
"Oh, | tell you it amt no use, for I'm
a goner, an it sarves me plum right"
"I've got some excellent whisky in my
room,m said the bailiff; and if had it here
| know that it would help you"
You'd better send fur it, ! reckon.
Don't you think so, Cap'n"
I've got nobody TO send.
"Wali, KANT you run over thar and git
it,"
I'm afraid to leave YOU
"Wall." said the old fellow, scuffiing TO
his feet, II reckon I'd better 20 with you.

A bright fire was burning in Major
Waldron's coy parlor, where he and his
good wife were seated in earnest talk.
Ii was Just after sunset when MIR, Hayne
dropped in to pay his first visit after the
few DAYS in which he had been confined
to his quarters. He was looking tnlh'
paler than usual, and far more restless
and eager in manner than OF old. Inc
WaldronS welcomed him with more than
usual warmth, and the Major speedily
led the conversation up 10 the topic
which was so near to his heart.

was made Wednesday, when Agent
Roger announced that the beef issue
would be postponed. How long it will
be put off is not stated, but the desire is
to get all the Indians into the agency
before giving out the beef. There are
still several thousand Pine Ridge
Indians who have not reported. Those
of them who are inclined to hostility are
not suffering for beef as every day re-
ports come in Of animals slaughtered by
the Indians.
Thousands of cattle range on the
reservation during the summer and fall,
and of these the Indians are killing
many. A number are reported as
wantonly slain. In several places
carcasses have been found with arrows
sticking in them. While this state Of
affairs continues there is little probabil-
ity of Agent Rogers latest move having
any effect unless it be to make the
friendly Indians at the agency restless
and dissatisfied.
1t is now conceded that Rogers first
mistake was in calling for troops before
there was any need Of them. This has
brought about the danger Of fighting.
Troops cannot now be withdrawn with
out disregarding the agents authority,
and it is feared if the tension is contin-
ged much longer the young men who
are inclined to fight will go off on raids
in small bands. Reports at army head
quarters here confirm the statement
that Gen Brooke still deems the situa-
tion serious.

WHAT THE SILVER MEN INTEND.
They WiIl Make Another EfTort 10 Secure

They VIII Make Another Effort to Secure
Free Coinage at the Coming Session.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The silver
question promises to be a prominent
one at the coming short session of con
gress if the leading silver men can make
it so. They propose to press for legisla-
ton at once, and their plans are elabor-
ate enough to cover a first, second and
third possibility.
Their first demand win be for free
coinage without limit or hindrance ex-
cepting the supply of metal.
The alternative is compromise on
free coinage limited to the home Of pro-
duction until France and Germany buy
American silver and the third and last
request will be for the coinage of about
$50, 000,0 to make up for the contrac-
ton caused by the retirement Of Ma
tional bank notes during the past year
This program is certain to fail in re-
spect to the first demand. No matter
what congress may do the president has
never hesitated to express his opposition
to free coinage that will not be protect
ed by an international agreement to in
sure the United States against the loss
of its gold by the substitution of unlim-
tied silver.
AS to the second and third PROPOSE
tions it is safe to say that the silver
question, if tried at all during the com
ing session, will be made an issue be-
tween free coinage and no more silver
legislation, with all the indications
pointing to a postponement Of advanced
action until the next congress, when
free coinage sentiment will have more
powerful expression.
In the meantime the silver men have
the continued purchase of 4,500, 900
ounces a month to console them.

scotty Philips story sent TO Division
Headquarters.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Gen. Miles has re-
ceived the following telegram from Gov
ernor Millette, of South Dakota, dated
Pierre, S. Oak:
"Scotty Phillips, cattleman, living
at the mouth of the Grand Stone Butt
Creek, brings me the following intelli-
gence. Phillips is very cool, courage
Gus and reliable man and was q good
scout throughout the Sioux and
Cheyenne troubles. He reports eight
days ago, five lodges, containing twelve
bucks, armed with Winchesters and
laden with ammunition, camped at his
house, going from Rosebud to a large
camp which is formed ON White river,
at the mouth of Pass Creek.
The Indians were surely and defiant
in manner. One of them said he had
seen the time when they used to beat
out the brains of children and drink
womens' blood, and that the time was
coming when they would do it again.
In the last few days Phillips has had
twenty cattle killed by the Indians.
Three half-breels from White river
stopped at Phillips house Monday night
and said they expected TO find the settle
ments destroyed when they got home.
Phillips says everybody who has been
among the Indians any length of time,
without exception. say that there is
going TO be an uprising and that very
quickly.
The dance at Short Bulls head
quarters at Pass creek has been running
for month, and Phillips thinks it is a
point fixed for concentration for all the
bands. He thinks there are 200 lodges
and 500 armed warriors there now.
The Indians say they will not give up
Short Bull, and viii fight when the
soldiers try TO arrest them. Indian run
ners pass Phillips house night and day
travelling between Standing Rock and
the camp on Pass creek.
Governor Millette concludes his tele-
gram with an urgent request for the es-
tablishment of posts at Chamberlain
and Forest City.
After Terusing the dispatch Gen.
Miles said that Gems. Ruger and Brooke
were making all preparations possible

COLUMBUS, Ind, Nov, 2S.-One of the
most daring robberieJ that ever took
place in southern Indiana occurred here
Wednesday. Shortly after a. m, a
stout and well-dressed young man ap-
parently 95 years Of age, walked into
the Bissel hotel bar, and called for a
glass of beer, which was furnished him.
He then went into the Office, and warm
ing his hands, started at a rapid rate to
leave the room through the back door.
The bartender having passed into the
Office, on hearing some money rattle, he
rushed into the bar room, and found the
thief who pulled u revolver, and de-
manded that he throw up his hands.

out of the hack door and fed. BE was
