ing in Ghost Dance.
BLUNT S. D., Special Telegram, Nov. 26.
Gov. Mellette has been appealed to by the
city council for guns and ammunition.
Oneida, the county seat Of Suly county, is
in terrible state Of alarm, and the gov
ernor has been asked to send guns and am
munition at once.
Shields, noted chief heretofore living on
the lately ceded Winnebago res ervation,
but who has been participating in the
ghost dance at Rosebud, is in town to-day.
His actions are suspicious, and the city
marshal will hold him until it is settled
that he is not here as spy. He claims the
Indians are not contempt ating any trouble.
The very fact that better Indians of known
integrity differ with him, gives the
lie to his statement. A later report
states that Oneida has been supplied With
100 guns and 200 rounds Of ammunition
from Fort Sully. A stage driver who came
from Fair5ank, opposite Fort Bennett, to-
night says halt-breed was killed by In
dams near that place because he refused to
participate in the ghost dance. The town
Of Fairbank is depopulated and the settlers
have fled. Gov. Mellette says he can
furnish us no guns, and an appeal has been
sent to Fort Sully.

THE LAST RESORT.
Burdens of Life Too Heavy for a Young
Girl to Bear

Girl to Bear.
New YORK, Nov. 26.-Jessie Adamson,
aged nineteen, saleslady, committed sui
eide early this morning by taking poison.
She came here from Chicago, and went to
work in store, but was recently dis
charged. She had been living on her saw
ings, but they soon melted away, and her
landlady demanded her money.
The girl grew respondent and promised
to do her best to pay for her lodging. But
no money came in, and as the only way
out Of her difficulties appeared to be suicide
she resolved to die On the bureau of the
room in which she died were several letters
which she had written before taking the
poison. The first was addressed to the
boarding house keeper, and in it the girl
said she was very sorry not to be able to
pay her, and that as she found the task an
she had DECIDED to end all.
She gave with this her mothers address at
80 West Cortland street, Chicago. Another
was letter addressed to an unknown per-
son named will" asking him to inform
her father OF her death and to give him her
love. A third letter was addressed to an
aunt named Mrs. Lizzie Byron, who is at
present a patient in the Woman's hospital
in this city. 1t asked forgiveness for the
expenditure OF $40 entrusted to the sui eide.

Common Fellows.

A dream which President Lincoln
related to one of his friends has
homely significance for many another
common fellow" Lincoln dreamed
That he was passing, on some public
occasion, between ranks of the people,
when he heard one man say to anoth-
err as he pointed him out, He's a.
common looking fellow, isn't he?''
'.Well, my FRIEND" replied Lincoln,
In his dream, turning to the man
whose remark he had overheard, ..God
likes us communicating fellows. or
else he wouldn't have made so manv
of us.
The wit and wisdom of this dream
thought are good enough for any walk
ing moment. Yes, God evidently likes
communicating fellows, and he has
evidently given the work of the world
into the hands of common men. The
genius" was always rare, and he is
growing rarer. AS the general level
OF Intelligence and virtue rises fewer
and fewer mountain peaks of command
ing Intelligence rise above the level.
And even at their best the men of
genius have never done the worlds
work, or fought its battles, or carried
on its reforms. They have often OBJ
tanned the glory and won the applause,
but Napoleon without his army, a.
Gladstone without his constituency, a.
Sturgeon without his audience, would
be far more helpless than the COM
mon fellows without their leaders.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s.. d., Special Tele-
gram, Nov. 26.-Pine Ridge agency, ordi-
narily dreary enough, is to-day scene OF
extraordinary activity. The Indians draw
part OF their rations to-day, but instead OF
coming in as usual, the bucks are dancing
the weird ghost dance back among the
buttes dozen miles from the agency and
have sent the old men and the souaws in
for rations.
On the plateau where the agency is To-
Gated, brown vailed by barren buttes, Com
panies K, f, I. N. d, of the Ninth cavalry,
are canlped, also Jour companies of the
Second infantry. Two more companies of
the Second will arrive this afternoon. and
it is said that reinforcements will soon ar
rive in the form OF cavalry from Fort Riel-
ly, Kan.
I rode part of the way from Rushville this
morning in company with Col. Guy ".
Henry, Of the Ninth cavalry, and later l
passed his scout, the famous Frank Grovard
who acted in a similar capacity for Gen.
Crook in 1876. Both Col. Henry and his
scout are confident that there will be a con-
hlct betwee the troops and the Indians
within few days.
The officers at Pine Ridge are very much
annoyed by some sensational press reports
that have been published, and talk some of
quarantining the reservation against news
paper correspondents. They consider the
situation to be critical enough in reality
without resorting to exaggerations.
Indian Agent Roger to-day increased his
force of dian police from 50 to 100. The
new men were taken into large room adj
joining the agents office this afternoon,
shorn of their long hair and fitted out with
uniforms, in which they are strutting
around this afternoon, much to the disgust
of the feminine portion Of the ghost dane
ers' contingent, who are IN after rations
while the hostile men are busy paving up
trouble. -
1t is understood that the force of fighting
men at this agency has been reinforced by
200 Rosebud braves. Wednesday is the
regular day for issuing beef, but it is not
yet decided by the agent and commanding
officer Gen. Brooke whether or not to is
sue. There are rumors that some day this
week an attempt will be made to disarm
the Indians, then there will be trouble.

SCARED THE INDIANS.
A Stampede of Redskins on the A pproacI
s.a. of Soldiers


PINE RIDGE, S. D., Nov. 26.-Last night
something of a scare was occasioned when
Che water call was sounded. The cavalry
had been going to creek about half mile
from the'post to water the horses. Along
this creek during the last twenty four hours
q village Of ghost dancers tepees has sprung
up.
Last evening the black troopers mounted
their horses with carbines loaded and cart
ridge belts in place. Then in command of
lieutenant instead Of the usual orderly
sergeant they slowly cantered to the creek.
Alter the horses had drank their
fill they crossed into the Indian
village. The stampede that followed was
almost instantaneous. Squaws and papooses
ran screaming into the teepes while the
bucks hastily mounted their ponies and
fled to the hills. But the troopers had only
crossed in order to turn and go back to
camp. Nearly all the Indians who draw
ratlons here are now encamped near the post.
1t may be that this will settle the matter
without trouble, and it may bring on
fight. Special Agent Cooper thinks that
any pretext may be seized upon by the In
dians Tor forcing the issue. The dancing is
dying out, but he is not sure whether il is
treachery or obedience that is causing the
relaxation. .-.
A lumber Of Rosebud Indians are here
without passes, and their presence bodies no
good. All are unanimous in their asser-
lions of good will, but they are carefully
measuring the strength Of the troops the
while. Little Wound, one of the leaders of
the ghost dance, has refused to come into the
agency, saying that if the agent wanted
to see him he must call at the Little
Wounds tepee. A squaw hanged herself
Saturday night to add to the excitement.
At present it is toss up between peace an d
war.
