LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. 29.-The State
Journal has from its special correspondent
the following story of the fight between
the troops and Big Foot's Indians
at the camp on Wounded Knee. At 8
o'clock this morning the troops were
massed about the Indian village, Hotch-
kiss guns overlooking the camp. MOI fifty
yards away. Col Forsythe or1ered all
the Indians to come forward away from
the tents. They came and sat in a half
circle until counted.
Dismounted troops were then thrown
around them, Go. X, Capt. Wallace. and
Co. B, Capt. Varnum. The order was
given to twenty OF the Indians to 90 and get
their guns They returned with only two
guns. A detachment of troops at once
began to search the village, finding thirty
eight guns.
As this task was about completed the
Indians, surrounded by companies X and

threw their blankets to the ground.

rapidly at the troops. not twenty feet

children then ran 10 the, south, the
battery firing rapidly as they ran.
Soon the mounted troops we're after

To read during meals is commonly
reckoned rs physiologically erroneous
we won't say as absolutely injurious,
The theory is that, as the stomach and
9thar organs require and exert nervous
power during digestion, it is better to
allow nothing to interfere with THEN
work. We do not say this can be borne
out, but the feeling of satisfaction that
follows "a meal, and which is often nc
eompanied in good health by droWsi-
ness, probably indicates that II certain
amount of exhaustion occur
during digestion. The pleasant chat OF
a dinner party is probably of value
physiologically as supplying n slight
mental stimulus, without making too
severe demands on brain and nerves.
II any evidence exists at all on the sub
ject, we think it tends to discourage
reading at meals.-Herald Of Health.

MACHINERY FoR THE SHOPS.
A Force of Men Here Ready TO Place
IL 1 Position.

Yesterday Mr.. O'Leary, superintendent
of machinery construction, came in from
Omaha with a gang OF twenty Eve men,
and will at once putting the
shaiting and machinery in place in the
new shops. most of which are ready for
this labor. When the machinery is in
position an increase Of about $50 men
will be necessary for the work required.
Supt. Middletcn's new office is COM
pleted aud he will at once move in. His
present office is too small to accommodate
his full force, the drnughting department
having heretofore been at Omaha. Yes
terday two carloads of instruments and
office fixtures arrived and will at once be
placed in the new office. The draughts-
men, twelve in number, employed in his
office. will be removed here at once.
General Manager Ressiguie. of the
Wyoming division. was seen last night at
the depot. lie said that nothing
further would OF course be done
in the building line here before next
spring, although the main machine shop
was rapidly growing too small. and would
probably soon have to be enlarged to
double its present capacity. Cheyenne is
the greatest breaking W point for freight
on the road, and the amount OF work in
the yards is constantly increasing. More
side-tracks and switches will have to be
provided for the accommodation of the
traffic. Yesterday orders were received to
the laying OF rails on the
grades already prepared. and work will
soon commence on more grades.

sculIy Pleads Tor Parneu.

DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-FIncent Scully,
recently defeated by Sir John Pope
Hennessy IN the contest for the North
Kilkenny seat in Parliament, has written
a letter to the Eeemdn's Journal in
which he says that the attitude Of the
Irish bishops. before and during the
election referred t.. only shows that
Parnell committed a private vice and
allowed judgment by default to be de
livered against him, and therefore he wa
pronounced nc longer eligible to a position
of public trust. Continuing. Scullg says
the Irish struggle was essentially a
political and not a moral one-the
struggle for leave for the Irish to manage
Irish affairs after their own fashion. The
struggle is one OF pounds, shillings and
pence and not of sacramento. AthluRne,
Roscommon and Westmcath were excited
by the proclamation. The placard is in
all the prominent places. 1t states that
true Irishmen have resolved to support
their Independence and that the Kilkenny
reverse is the trumpet for you to Join
the ranks and make a last supreme fight
for the cause" 1t adds that the father
land Is threatened by a calamity ~surDassing
a thousand coercion acts. the lowering OF
the flag of independence on the vague
promises OF a British statesman. Irish
history is filled with dlsastaIs resulting
from reliance placed upon English
promises.
The proclamation, continuing, asks the
people to sustain the tried policy of the
Independent party in parliament, adding
that with the people ofIreland and America
united behind it it should sustain the
leader who made that policy andled you to
victory until now. The issue between the
independent party was as to whether the
people should choose their own leader and
party, or as to whether they should be-
come merely a part of the English Lib
erals and accept the leader dictafed by
the English leaders. That would not be
home rule. We.want real home rule, the
home rule for which Emmitt and other
patriots gave their noble lives. We we're
advancing to liberty under a Qood leader.
Support him and the grand cause forever.
God save Ireland.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga telephone mes
sage from South Chicago says three men
entered a bank there today, covered the
cashier with a revolver aud robbed the
bank of all the none it contained. They
then jumped into a buggy and drove rap
idly toward this city. An alarm was at
once given and officers started 10 pursuit,
but the robbers were out of sight. The
police in this city were notified at once
and tried TO intercept the fleeing robbers.
After a chase of seven miles the police
captured two robbers. Several shots were
exchanged between the police and the
fleeing men and one OF the latter was seri
ously wounded in the thigh. The third
robber is still at large. The men entered
the Merchants Exchange bank about l
o clock this afternoon. Two of them en-
gagged the cashiers attention while the
third slipped through the door and com
ing up behind that official dealt him n
blow which knocked him senseless. Then
the three quickly rifed the bank. securing
50, 800, aud dashed away 10 a buggy.
Only 800 was found on the men.

Disastrous Attempt to Disarm
a Band of Indians.
Redskins Show Fight While
Surrounded by Troops.
Capt. Wallace and a Number
Of Soldiers Killed,
And Lieut.. Darlington and Fiji
teen Men Wounded.
The Hostiles Fly and are Pur-
sued by the Soldiers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The rumor re-
ceived in this city this afternoon that a
serious fight had occurred when the
troops tried to disarm Big Foot's band
was confirmed by the receipt of the fol
lowing telegram by Col. Corbin, from
Gen. Miles, at a late hour tonight:
RAPID CRY, S. D., Dec. 29.-Col.
Forsythe reports that while disarming
Big Foot's band a fight occurred. Capt.
Wallace and a few soldiers were killed.
Lieut.. Darlington and fifteen men we're
wounded. This again complexities the
surrender OF all the Indians, which would
have taken place in a short time had this
not occurred. Forsythe had two battal-
IONS and a Hotchkiss gun. Quite a large
number of young warriors have been
away from the camp and were going from
the bad lands, also quite a number of Two
Strikes band are going toward Forsythe.
Troops are in close proximity.

When anything stands the tast ofafh,
years among a discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The value
Of a medicine is best proved by its con
tinued use from year to year by the same
persons and families. as well as by a
steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked the
introduction and progress of Brandreth's
Pills, which, after a trial of over ffty
years, are conceded to be the safest and
most eflectual purgative introduced to the
public.
That this is the result ofmerit, and
that Brandreth's Pills actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is concluslyely
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated.

Complaint About tho Mails.

To ne Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-Whereas the postmaster aud SUI.
pernteIdent Of mails at Wheeling have
been petitioned by a majority of the
prominent citizens OF this village, to
remedy the lack of mail facilities, and II
seems To have no beneficial effect,
propose by your indulgence to make oul
grievances known. We get the morn
ing and evening mail direct when the
train arrives and it gets across the riv.
err But as West Virginia man, living
near the O. r. railroad, said to me, 81
don't think there has been a train on
time for the last three months" The
noon mail down delivers newspaper
and periodical mail only and carries our
letter mail down to New Martinsville
and it is returned III train is on time)at
3 p. m, being the last mail up. There
fore, If letter is received and an an.
swer desired, we have to wait until 81
4. m. the next morning to answer 1t.
On last Saturday morning relatives
were written announcing a death and
saying the funeral would take place on
Sunday. OF three letters mailed tc
Wheeling, one to 1926 McCollOch street,
one TO 81 York street, Island, one to the
st. Charles hotel, the last mentioned
only was received, as the house has
facilities for getting their mail three
times day. Also, one for Bcllaire
having special delivery stamp and
special directions as to place of delivery
failed to get there. The train was be-
hind time one and a half hours. Did
these letters remain in packages some
where until Monday? 1t seems not, n:
one was received, as the house has it:
own arrangement. Such recklessness
is ineXcuSable. A SUBSCRIBER.

Most stocks are fractionally higher, though
there were a few material losses. The trad
ing during the day was almost entirely OF
a professional order. The opening was
quiet, irregular and generally lower than
last evenings prices. and shortly the bears
attacked the market, sending prices down,
principally in Lackawauna and Union
Pacific. The loaning rates for stocks
however. showed that there was Il
large outstanding short interest in the
street, while money was easy at from 8 TO
> per cent. on cali, and the traders when
the bear attack Stacked away turned over
70 the bull side for a turn and the market
became dull as the pressure to sell was re-
moved, but the demand for shorts develop
ed a strong tone, prices moving up Slowly
and soon recovering, not only
ain the forenoon's losses, but
something in addition. Lake Shore was
one of the strongest features, but the move
