The scene Of mirth galore;
lis now lonely, musty shell,
Deserted, like to fall;
And Echo mocks their ghostly knocks
And iterates their call
Come back, thou ghost of ruddy hostl
From Pluto's misty shore
Renew tonight the keen delight
Of bygone years once more;
Brew for this merry, motley horde
And serve the steaming cheer,
And grant that may lurk hard by
To see the mirth, and hear.
All mef dream what things may seem
To others childish vain,
And yet at night tits my delight
To walk St. Martins Lane;
For, in the light of other days,
walk with those love,
And, all the time, St. Martins chime
Makes piteous moan above.

ROBBED A TRAIN.
Light Booty and Prompt Arrest Reward

AASAAS DOoCS dAA Arrest Reward
the Robbers.
WEST PoINr Miss, Dec. 2.-The express
car on the west-bound train Of the Georgia
Pacific was robbed near Indianola last
night and the robbers were captured here
to-day and placed in Jail. F..
Just as the train entered the Bogus Chitto
swamp large, heavy man, with a red
bandana handkerchief over his lace as a
mask, effected an entrance into the mail
car and covered the mail agent with big
revolver. The mail and express are carried
III the ordinary cars in use on small roads,
one-half the car being devoted to the ex-
press agent, a door leading from one into
the other
The mail agent was standing with his
back to the door and was not aware of the
presence Of the robber until he felt the cold
barrel Of a revolver against the back of his
head. The robher told the clerk that he
did not want anything from him, but that
he lust precede him into the express car.
The agents only alternative was to comply
with this request or be shot. Once in the
express car the robber requested the express
| messenger in a like manner and made him
deliver UP his money package. They then
jumped off the train leaving the agents too
badly frightened to stop the train and at
tempt capture. All the money packages
WIN one exception were transferred at
W;nona Tor New Orleans and the robbers
haul was light, only one package contain
ing about $3.50 being secured The agents
gave as good description OF the robbers as
possible.
This afternoon man answering the de-
scription of the robber got on the train at a
small station west of here. Arriving at
West Point, the conductor informed Agent
Evans of the robbery and pointed out the
man who answered the description The
fellow at once took to his heels and en-
deavored to get away. Marshal Stacy and
several others started out to capture him
and were successful in catching him near
the city limits. The fellow had been Joined
by pal, and both were arrested and taken
to Jail. When searched considerable plum
der was found on the suspect. Both men
are now in Jail and will be held until the
mail and express agents can be brought
here to identity them. The officers are con-
tident that they have the right men.

EVENTS OF a WEEK.
A Digest of the Interesting
News of the Past
Week.
AROUND WASHINGTON.

1t is expected that the president, in his
message, will recommend that congress
stand firm in the new tariff law and pass the
force bill.
1t seems moro than probable that some of
the Democratic congressman will move for
an investigation of the census Office. In fact
it is generally believed that Potter expects
some sort OF an investigation, and is now
putting the office in shape to meet all inquir-
les and demands that may be made.
The State of Iowa, through the governor,
has been summoned by the United States su-
preme court to appear before that tribunal
at Washington, on the third Monday of
January, to defend and answer the bill of
complaint by the State of Nebraska, pending
there. This bill is in regard to the boundary
line between Nebraska and Iowa. The ques-
ton involved is whether or not that part OF
the country lying near Omaha and cut off by
the Missouri river shall be subject to Iowa's
laws. The complaint declares that the re-
gion was formerly part of Nebraska, but
that the river in the year 1877 so cut the
bank on the southwestern part of the river
bed as to form new channel. Beg.

WON'T ARREST HIM.
The Time For the Arrest of Sitting.
Bull, It Is Concluded, Is
Not Yet Ripe.
Gen. Ruger and Agent Mclaughlin
Feel Themselves Victims of
Shabby Treatment.

STANDING Rock AGENCY. N. D., Special
Telegram, Dec. 2.-The seat of war has
been removed to Washington so far as I
can learn. Whether Gen. Miles made a
mistake in giving Cody his wide-open COM
mission or not is something for the future
to determine. Suffice it as bit of general
news to say that Sitting Bull has not been
arrested, nor is he liable to be for some
time " '.-
We left Fort Yates before noon yesterday
and by p. m. were within five or six miles
Of Oak Creek, our point of approach. En-
route we met the agency Interpreter, Louis
Primeau, who reported that Sitting Bull
had camped at Oak Creek the night before
Friday) and must have reached the agency
by noon of Saturday.
Arriving at Holsey's ranch four
miles from Standing Rock, we sent Pony
Bob, rather celebrated character (who
carried the news of Lincoln's election from
the California border to Frisco, 104 miles
in eight and one-half hours, to Yates to
get the truth. He returned as fast as horse
flesh would allow with note from Col.
Drum. of the Twelfth infantry, commander
of Fort Yates, saying:
Dear Colonel: I have sent two couriers after
you, OUT Cney nave missed YOU l hope you are
comfortable. The order to arrest Sitting Bull
has been suspended. There is a repor t that
Sitting Bull is to come in to the post. He could
not be arrested now should he come ~
| learn upon arrival here that Maj. Nc
Laughlin was much surprised at the mis-
sion of Col. Cody. He believed that he
should have been allowed to make the ar
rest through the agency of his Indian police,
and felt himself fully master Of the situa-
ton OH Standing Rock reservation, but felt
that the time tor Sitting Bulls arrest had
not yet come. Gen. Kruger, commanding
the department Of Dakota, shared the con-
victions of Agent Mclaughlin, and it is be-
ieved felt some resentment in that Gen
Miles had given Cody an important mill
tary commission and had ignored him
(Ruger) completely.
Cody and DIR. Powell have gone back.
Sitting bull is not coming in. So far as
heard from, the religiouslv frantic reds are
still dancing, and if they would kindly
catch cold and die, owing to over-exertion
and exposure the equation would be
solved. Ad interim, treat with shadows of
doubt stories of massacres, cavalry raids,
treaties. and all that genus. a bit of biz
card would be wholesome but, even with
out winters chilling blast, we of the great
Sioux reservation are not likely to hear
more horrors akin to those of'72 and 70

Gen. Miles in Consultation.

WAsHINGroN, Dec. 2.-Gen. Miles, who
is to take care Of the crazy Sioux Indians
and keep them from scalping the palefaces
according to their supposed plans, arrived
here last night. When the Indians be-
gan to show disposition to carry things to
dangerous extreme with their ghost dances
Gen. Miles, in command of the department
OF the Missouri, asked permission to come
10 Washington and consult with Gen. Scho-
field, his superior officer, and Secretary
Proctor. Almost Immediately upon his
arrival, Gen. Miles called upon Gen. Scho-
field and had long consultations, both at
Gen. Schofield's house and at Gen. Miles
rooms at the Ebbit house. The
conference was resumed to-day: but
Just what conclusions have been reached
is not known yet, as Gen. Miles denied
llimselfto reporters tonight. There is no
doubt. however, that plans have been out
lined for decisive movement against the
Indians il necessary. 1t is believed that the
extended consultations related less to steps
to prevent an outbreak now, as everything
posi- bic has been done to this end already,
than to plans of campaign in case Of gen.
eral Indian war.

1900 Rosebud Indians wandering over the
Pine Ridge agency helping themselves to
anything that they can carry, and sending
by scouts ordering them to come into Pine
Ridge. IA,
The agency is once more worked up to
great excitement by reports brought in since
supper by q portion of 4 scouting party that
was sent out this morning. The report is
that the Rosebuds are now IN the Bad
Lands, having advanced twenty miles to-
day. and that they have driven off with
them all the horses and cattle from ranches
belonging to the following men: Batitz,
Pierau, Charley Cooney, Billy McGaw,
Dick Stirks William Vallandran and Vel
low Bird. The number Of horses that they
have stolen is estimated at from 400 to 500.
Inc scouts also prlnS word that the Rose
buds met Little Wounds band and forced
them to join with the uarauders, and that
they are vail together Two policemen,
Guy Belt and Red Hawk, sent out from
