The eastern papers are chiefly respon-
slble for the panlcky feeling that has at
times, since the messiah craze attacked
the Indians, possessed the settlers in some
neighborhoods Of Emmons and other
frontier counties east of the Missouri
river. Eastern relatives and friends, too,
have unintentionally aided in causing un-
easiness here. Letters without number
have been received by cur people begging
them to ''come home or the Indians will
kill YOU" Fathers and mothers, BROTH
ers and sisters have offered to save the
scalps of their dear ones by sending
money to buy the railroad tickets. The
writer was told IN Bismarck the other
day of German-Amerlcan Of Burlelgh
county whose relatives in the fatherland
wanted to telegraph him money to pay
his return passage, and gravely informed
him that he would not"De safe from Indi
ans anywhere in the United States.
~
So far "a the counties on this side OF
the river are concerned, the scare which
has possessed some settlers would be
amusing had it not caused its possessors
so much trouble and inconvenience. As
matter Of fact, there Is not and has moi
been any danger from Indians on this
side of the river during the recent
troubles. Along at the beginning, before
additional soldiers we're brought to Lin.
coin and Yates, there might have been Z
little danger at isolated points on the
other side. But those on this side who
had misgivings as to their hair seem to
have forgotten that, three or four to one,
the Indians at Standing Rock have had
no use for Sitting Bull and his followers
and would aid the whites against him
Besides, the hostiles would never 10 east.
They know shat, if they should cross
the Missouri river, not one of them would
return alive. In all previous troubles the
Indians that have taken up arms against
the government have at once sought the
lava beds, the bad lands, or some othel
field of operations where settlement il
sparse.
There is about as nnch danger from
Indians to the people Of this county as
there is from the gopheYs or aeas going
on the war-path.

Nebraska Excursionists.

A party of Nebraska excursionists,
amply provided with all the requisite
parapharnalia for camp life arrived at
this place on Saturday, pitched their
tents in the woodland under the
shadow Of Pyrotecnic Peak" where, far
removed from the prevailing torridity
of their less favored Nebraskan homes
they for few days, enjoyed to the fullest
extent, the cool and exhilerating atmos-

est charm. The party consisted of the
following ladies and gentlemen: Mr..

est satisfaction with their visit to the
Hills, and especially to this locality,
where the climate and scenery were so
surprisingly delightful as to excite the
highest degree Of admiration. A num-
Der of the ladies are teachers in the
Nebraska Schools and our reporter
found them both intelligent and afiable.
They departed for Hot Springs, via the

ew Book,


Battles and Leaders Of the Civil
War;" is the title of u new publication
in four volumes, recently issued by the
Century Publishing company. The
publication is for most part composed of
contributions from officers who took a
part in the late war, and although based
upon the Century war articles contain
hundreds of pages of entirely new mat
ter. 1t is profusely illustrated, 100 en-.
cravings being scattered through the
four volumes. 1t is one of the most
complete and interesting stories OF the
late war eve published, and contains
vivid and accurate descriptions of 2,66l
engagements on land and sea. The book
is edited by the well known journalists
Robert Underwood Johnson and Ciar-
enc Clough Buell., Of the Century edit
orial staff. g. G.. Roberts is the sole
agent for this section. 1t is = book that
should be read by every one. Certainly
no history ofany war was ever so made,
and certainly no history, either of our
" civil wal or any other, possesses
so many points of personal interest.
The work is found to stand unsurpassed
among the many publications which the
American civil war has elected, aBd we
take pleasure in testifyipg to the fact
that nothing which has ever issued from
the press does higher honor to the
genius of the American publisher.
