His rosy cheeks shine with good living and
his eyes are as bright as when he acted as

Andrew Johnson's administration. He is
now fifty nine years old, and is the senior

Speaking of senatorial lawyers, there is
no man in public life who would make q
more able supreme court justice than Sen

it is said, has fine home in Washington,
and he would be very strong man on the
bench. HIS advice is often asked as to
supreme court questions, and he gets as
high as s., 600 for single opinion. ! heard
yesterday of q railroad case in which his
opinion saved S150,000 for his clients. The
case had been tried by the ablest lawyers
in the United States. 1t was ap-

was that ten days later they got judgment

THE SIOUX TROUBLES
An American Juggler Would

RED CLOUD AT WASHINGTON.
Captain Bourke Tells How He SURPRISED the
Sioux Doctors With an Electric Bat
Uery-0ther Gossip.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Especial CORES
pondence of TIE HERALD. The Indian
troubles will form one of the subjects of
legislation during the present session. A
great deal of quiet talk is going en- among
the members as to the Sioux and not few
express themselves in the words of Gen
eral Sheridan to the effects that 1.-The best
Indian is dead Indian.' One of the best
Indian authorities in the United States is
Captain ourke who was on General
Cooks staff for eighteen years and who
has spent the most Of his life upon the
frontier. Captain Bourke has made a study
of the Indians. He has written a number
of interesting books about them and he is
now writing a volume for the Government
on Indian medicine men. He knows more
about the dances of the Sioux and the other
Indians than anyone in the country and
it was he who gave to the National museum
necklace of human fingers which he cap
tured from an Indian medicine man.
talked with him last night about this phase
of Indian character. Said he:
The Indians are very superstitous
They believe in the supernatural, and an
adroit slight of hand performer can have a
great influence ovor them. One way to
beat them is to fight them with their own
fire by sending first-class American iugglers
out to them. When the medicine men of
the tribe do their wonders let the jugglers
perform their tricks and the power of the
medicine men will wane. This was the
method pursued in my work with them
never discredited the power of any of the
medicine men. | only told them that my
medicine was greater than their medicine
and that l could do great deal more than
they could
HOW ELECTRICITY DowNED CHIEF.
az had once an old electric battery with
me when ! visited big camp of these
Sioux. There was some excitement at the
time and the medicine men were boa sting
what they could do. i arranged my battery
and took silver dollar and placed it in
pan of water and told their best medicin,
men that / would give the one who could
pull it out s., provided he took hold of the
brass handle of the battery with one hant
and pick the coin out with the other. There
were perhaps thousand Indians looking
at US and they conceived deep reverence
for me as they saw the most famous o.
their medicine men attempt to do this anC
fail, being almost thrown into convulsion:
in the attempt At last one of the strong
est Indians in the west came up to maxi
the trial. He sliced the battery and made
grab for the dollar. The electricity wen
through him like shot and he kicked thu
battery all to pieces. He wanted to try i
again, and we patched the battery up and b
finally succeeded in getting the dollar, ow
ing TO the weakness of the current fur
nished by the broken battery. He wa
twisted out of shape almost by the effort
and the Indiansi of that camp looked upol
me fol- the time as great medicine man.

 Mir. II. A. NickeIl, of Ozark, Ark. :, county examiner of Franklin county, was in the city Friday, representing Fay lIcmpstead's School history of Arkansas. We are glad to learn our school directors are favorable to it, and will likely introduce it into our public schools here. This history is accurate and well arranged for school purposes, and all will unite in saying our youth should be given a thorough knowledge of our State. By all means let Hempstead's school histo- ry be placed in our schools.
 The Democratic club was largely attended Friday evening, and held an enthusiastic meeting. Hon. R. B. Williams made strong speech, using the State Democratic platform as his text He made many good points and was often roundly ap- plauded. During his remarks he highly complimented Hon. T c. McRae, saying no man in congress did more effective work for his coun- try. Mir. Herman Zappe, of Emmet, tickled the crowd immensely in q strong Democratic talk-he is a thoroughbred Democrat. Club meets every Friday night.
