SOME ft ure' recently made public by
foreign statistician regarding the ex-
tent to which women have affected the
industrial situation in Europe show an
unusual prevalence of female labor in
factories. They assert that in Germany
the number of female artisans and me.
chanics is upwards of $500, OOO England
follows with about 4. 600. 600, France with
only few less, while in both Italy and
Austria the number approximates 5, ,50O,-
600. 1t is not difficult, therefore, in
view of these figures. to understand
why foreigners arc so anxious to immi-
CRATE to this country, where labor is
better appreciated.

impaired The Kansas City banks be-
came alarmed at their condition and
withdrew their support
Friday the Newton bank was taken
possession of by the Federal bank au-
thorities. Friday the Guthrie bank

The G, azy Redskins.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--The war de-
partment has authorized. the number of
Indians scouts in the Department of the
Dakota to be increased to 500 men.
They will be selected from among the
! Indian police and other disciplined In
illans in the department. The law lin
its tho number of Indian scouts to 1000,
and the result of this order will be to
place most of them at the seat of threat
ened trouble. The latest reports from
Pine Ridge, Neb., are to the effect that
the trouble up there has passed it's
most serious phase. Many of the least
orgeries and only the most vigorous
persist in the exercise. They still
dance with arms in hands or close by.
Specials to the Bismarck Tribune
from Standing Rock agency are to this
effect: to-day, the ED, was ration day at
the agency, and all but about fifteen or
twenty OF the male Indians accredited
to the reservation were present to re-
ceivc their share of Uncle Sans good
things. The squaws to about that
number came alone, but were refused
rations unless accompanied by the other
half of the household. The kilograms
say that the Indians are all quiet, and
accept rations as usual.
scout named William McGaa ar
rived at Pine Ridge agency on the 23d,
and claims that he overheard some In
dians talking of scheme to entrap the
soldiers. 1t is where the White Horse
;~{o l1
and lies in something of an amphithea-
tre shape. The only practical way of
leading to the spot is by road that
follows along the bank of White Horse
creek. Upon either side of this road
and creek are dense clumps of trees, so
many as to almost form wall on either
side OF the approach. The plot is to
have ghost dance in this amphithea-
tre, and have the woods on either side
OF the road full of Indians, when the
military comes up to stop the dance,
and they would be easily shot down by
the Indians in ambush on either side.
THE King of Holland, William III,
died on the 23rd. For many weeks he
has been insane. He ascended the
throne in 1S49, and was 73 years old at
his DEATH. He leaves one child q
daughter about ten years of age. The
cause of his death was softening of the
brain.
AT Berlin, Germany, Emperor Will
liam on the ED conferred the grand
cross Of the Red Eagle upon Prof. Koch,
for the discovery Of the consumption
cure.

A GERMAN scientist claims that
by means of an acid process he can
convert sawdust into material firm
in texture and extremely hard, i'm.
penetrable by gimlet or nail, more
impervious to the action of the ele-
ments than the ordinary metals or
the common building stones, and prac
tically indestructible by fire. The
scientist also claims that it is much
stronger than timber for joists and
girders, and several times lighter
than iron or steel, and, above all,
the cost of manufacture is claimed tc
be so low as to bring it into direct
competition with both wood and iron.
