Indians AnXIOuSty lOOXInS LOT the coming
of Messiah.
The great Indian Council of the Sioux
Nation, which has been in session up Bad
River some fifteen miles from Pierre, s. D.,
was more in the order of "a great revival
meeting, as all the tribes are now greatly
stirred up over what they believe is
a coming of their great spirit to
visit them. This idea seems to have
taken complete possession of their minds,
and their time is mostly spent in
dancing and other ceremonies and
waiting for the great event. Emissaries
have been there recently from tribes up in
Montana, filling them up with stories of the
coming of an Indian Messiah who is eX-
pected every day. He is to cover the earth
with another great stratum of soil some
thirty feet deep covering up every
body but faithful good Indians, who
will manage to squirm through on top
to find the new earth covered with grass
waist high, buffa and other wild game
everywhere; plenty of wild horses will
be roaming around and not pale face will
be seen. In other words, the Indians will
prevail Those who have faith in the new
fad think they must dance for hours at a
stretch until they fall down and are dragged
out for others to take a whirl There is no
hostility among the Indians, they seeming
to think that the utter de ;truction of the
whites will be accomplished entirely through
divine mediation.

Stock on Hand in Minnesota and the Da-

The Importance of the stock of wheat
held by private elevators in Minneapolis is
steadily becoming more manifest Ele-
VatO1S IA" and ''B'' at ST. Paul have al
ways been private houses, but nevertheless
their stock was repCr led to the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce, to be included in
the visible supply. The B. which was
lately Sold to the Great Northern Road has
taken out license under the State law, and
on this crop will alone be reported by the
chamber. This action relegates elevator
a. to the class of houses whose stocks do
not enter into the visible statement. Fig
Ures compiled by the Northeastern Miller
show the stock in private houses to be
100000 bushels, against 100000 last
week The stocks at the three termi-
nal points are in detail as follows:
Minneapolis, public, 2.O42S7O bushels; pri-
vate, 900, geo; Duluth, 900, 80; St. Paul, To-
600. Total, 3,S73, $50 bushels; decrease,
251,S76 bushels. The Mdrkes Record esti-
mates that the stocks of wheat in the coun-
try elevators Of Minnesota and the two
Dakotas increased 615, 900 bushels last week,
making the amount thus held LAS, 600
bushels or a grand total in all the elevators
of the three States of 5.616,7S0 bushels.
