DEATH OF SOLOMON.

that his end was nigh ut hand, prayed
God that his death might be conc tie

Therefore, he maj ic himself u stat

His soul was taken SO gently from him
that the body remained standing. so
continuing for u whole year. Those
who saw him thought he was absorbed
In prayer and they dared not approac.,

But during all this time little white
ants had been gnawing at tho staff,

tho staff crumbled under his weight
and the body fell to the ground. Ma

The Opinion Expressed Among the on
cers In the Indian ONCE.
WASHINGTON, Nov 22-The situation Of
affairs among the Sioux Indians, due to the
Messiah craze. is believed at the Indian
o tice to be greatly exaggerated. The act
ing Indian commissioner, Mr.. Belt, does
not believe that the Indians entertain hos
tile designs against the whites. He said
to-day:
Their belief In the coming OF the alleged Mes
Biah ID ali evidence ot this fact. 1t has been
claimed by their medicine men that the Messiah
when he comes will restore to them their former
power IN this country. but the Messiah Ii to
do this not the Indians. All that they are
influence of the Messiah powder will no longer
have tile power to carry IL bullet when directed
against the Indians great wave is going to
sweep over the country, according to these pre-
lictions, burying the whites and carrying the
Indians along and preserving them from harm.
30 you see the essentin! feature Of this delusion
rather discouraees the Indians from iniu!sing in
any outbreak. There is no necessity for them
to take action OF this kind. as the Messiah is to
do everything. 1t is true that the Messiah l,as
not appeared ut the time 9annou,,cetl 1t liz
probable that when the lntliais discover thut
these stories are not true they NAV become
troublesome. They will probably turn upon
the medicine men who have made those predic.
lions. Then there will be difficulty AMONG the
Indians. which inay sp. end beyond the confines
Of the tribe.
Mr.. Belt, however, thouJht that the pre-
cautions already adopted in sending the
military to the reservations would be ample
to prevent any serious outbreak.

BERLIN, Nov. 22.SThe municipal author

five buildings in the Moabit suburb of Ber-
lin for the purpose OF aiding him in carry
ing OH his experiments looking to the dis.
covery Of cure for infectious diseases
such as scarlet fever, measles, diph-
theria and typhoid fever. Prot.
Koch will also carry on his I'LL
vestigations into the nature and
cure of cancer in these buildings. There
will be accommodations for l5O patients in
the temporary hospital. Tho professor
considers that his laborers IN connection
with tuberculosis arc finished.
Prof Pasteur has sent his congratulations
to Prof. Koch, who in return has sent q
specimen OF his lymph to Pasteur. The
Derlincr Tageblatt says:
The preparation. Of Prof. Kochs curative
lymph is proceedingly rapidly. but the quantity
required ior hospitals and medical associations
cannot be made ready before the end OF JaMu-
nry. The attempts that have been made to i'm
itute the lymph justify the adoption Of severe
measures against the imitators. The lymph IL
now available for use In most OF the Berlin hos
pitals. At the University hospital the doctors
limit thedise Of the remedy to persons who are
strong enough to come to get All injection. All
money realized from the sale OF the lymph goes
into the funds Of the hygiehic Office.
