The Republicans are telling the
workIngmsn that the Fifty.first Con.

bills that the Republicans say they
have passed for the benefit OF labor
have not become laws. Workingmen
must not allow themselves TO be

They only take an interes In the

served for their future home. This tract

of ten miles on both sides of the river

which this reservation was also To be

brave men fought on, but with less loss
now. At 10 o'clock on the morning OF
September 3 the CLEAN of rifles was seen
i'm the distance, and the savages sullenly
withdrew before the advance OF relief
party which had been sent from Fort
Ridgely, where the firing, thanks To the
favorable direction of the wind, had been
heard
Taking into account the small number
engaged, the battle of Birch Coolie was
one of the hottest fought during the
period of the civil war. or the 1853
whites. twenty-three were killed and
forty-iive severely wounded, while very
few escaped altogether uninjured. When
relieved they had been thirty-one hours
without either food or water, and were
almost exhausted.
There were many wonderful escapes
from death. A. Il. Connolly, Adjutant
of the Sixth Minnesota Infantry, who
was present, mentions the case of wom-
an, the only one Of n party who had
escaped with her life, though badly
wounded with buckshot. She had been
twelve days without food, other than
berries. when she was found by Mai.
Browns expedition. During the awful
thirty-siX hours of the seige she re-
manned in the wagon where she had been
placed, praying for her deliverers The
wagon was riddled with bullets, but,
strange to say, she was struck by none
of them. She ultimately entirely recov-
cred.
On the 18th Of September the camp at
Fort Ridgely was broken up, and the
expedition, disguised with its long mae
tivity, started on its march after the foe.
On the morning OF Sept. % the enemy
were encountered at Wood Lake. The
Indians were sanguine OF success, but
were badly beaten, the white loss being
four killed and about forty wounded.
Colonel Sibley sent out word to the In
dams that il they would come I'm, no in
Docent man would be harmed; and in
short time all except Little Crow and his
most desperate followers were within
reach and encamped near Lac qui Parle.
Colonel Sibley encamped with his forces
about half a mile from the Indians, at
Camp Release, so called because the cap
tives were released there. These, to the
number OF about two hundred and fifty
were at once set free.
A large number of Indians were made
prisoners and n commission appointed to
try them. Tho remainder were sent
down TO Yellow Medicine Agency. An
inquiry developed the fact that almost
the entire nation had been involved I'm
tho outbreak, and the braves at tho
Agency were quietly discovered and made
prisoners. "A number OF hslf-brceds

Dry Go dis Salaries.

1T is not generally known" said Mr..
c. b. Worth, of II. j. Clahin x Co,
a few DAYS ago, that some OF the high.
est salaries are paid in our business.
We are often accused of paving starya-
ton wages to our clerks by people who
never look at the expenses entailed in
running an establishment. Take the
bu. ers, for instance. There are firms
in this city who pay men from $4,000
TO $50, 900 a year for simply being able
10 tell three-quarters of year In adj
vance what the fashion is going TO he.
one gentleman, who buys for whole
sale house on Broadway, is said TO earn
5000 year.
Dry goods houses are noted for pay
ing low wages to heir clerks, because
the supply of clerks is 50 abundant. In
some of the smaller stores the pay runs
as low as 50 week But the buyer
on whose judgment the sale of next
years fabrics depends gets half as
much as tho President of the United
States. he smallest, and some of the
largest. salaries are paid in the dry
goods business"
How does the buyer for the house
distinguish in advance what the fash
ion for next year is to be-"
All that is where it requires a wide
awake man. He must watch the grow
ing tendencies among the firms richest
and most fashionable customers at
home and abroad. Whatever has be-
come popular among them will make
It's way among the masses, and this
tide the house must catch and swim
along with it.
"In Europe textile manufacturers
make few goods except on orders The
buyer for firm must decide what his
house can sell next season, and order
his supplies of cloth made in advance.
A serious mistake might be sufficient
to bankrupt the firm, by leaving them
with stock on hand of unstable
goods, the patterns not being to the
liking of the firms customers So you
can easily see why skillful buyer can
command his own price.
How do you select man for such o
position ?"
Nothing less than kind of intui-
ton is demanded for such a place In
addition. the buyer must estimate what
amount his employer can sell of a
given style of goods. If he overstocks
the firm, then they are left with old
fashioned articles on hand which they
must resort to the gain-counter'
devices to get rid of at a severe loss. Z"

cord that the savagcs were solely re-
sponsible for that blood-curdling trag-
edy. But what use to write, unless to
tell the truth? Seldom has the white
man-never, perhaps, except in isolated
cases-trcated the red man in fair and
equitable manner.
Minnesota was organized as n territory
in 1s49, and the emigration rapidly set
ting upon the eastern side OF tho MissS-
sippi River began TO encroach upon the
fertile country opposite So, in 1851,
the Indians were induced to sign treat
ies by which they transferred TO the
United States over 30, 900, 900 Of acres.

was committed by President Lincoln 90

many OF the trials, testifying In number

Over four hundred prisoners OF all
ages, from Is 10 80, were tried. and of
these three hundred and three were con-
vlcted. Their sentences varied from
death down To one years imprisonment.
Finally, after considerable delay, thirty
eight of them were ordered to be exc
cuted at Mankato, on the 2Gth day of
February, 1868.

knowledged their guilt. but for the most
part they maintained their innocence.

They were allowed To send for some OF
their relatives, with whom their parting
was quite affecting.
On the morning of the fatal day their
irons were removal and their arms
bound with cords, their elbows behind
and their wrists in front. Then, long
white muslin caps were placed on their
heads, but left rolled up so as TO show
their painted faces. During this opera
ton, which consumed over an hour sew
eral exciting death songs were sung
At exactly 10 o'clock the condemned
men were formed into n procession and
marched into the street and directly
across from the jail, between files OF
soldiers, TO the long scaffold which had
been erected there. As they commenced
the ascent OF the scaffold, they started
the death song again, and made a per-
fectly hideous noise, which had won
derful effect in keeping up their courage.
Then the white caps were drawn down,
the nooses adjusted, and, in the presence
of vast concourse Of people, Major
Brown gave drum three distinct taps,
n rope was cut, and the thirty-eight red
handed murderers shot simultaneously
downward 10 a most righteous doom.
As the platform fell. long though
not loud cheer went up from soldiers and
citizens, and silence reigned over the
awful scene
Another such wholesale hanging has
never taken place in America, and per-
hapS not in the civilized world.
The next summer Gen. Sibley drove
the hostile Sioux from the State, killing
over one hundred of them in the process

Little Grow continued his deprcda-
tions, killing a good many whites the
next spring, actually ycnturing within
twelve miles Of st. Paul. July 3, 1868
while picking berries near the town Of
Hutchinson, he was shot and killed by
two men named Sampson, father and
son. Little Crow was one Of the bright
est and braveSt of all the Sioux. His
name had become a synonym for terror
in Minnesota, and news OF his death was
received amid universal rejoicing.
