"A Telegram From Gen. Schofield. Now
In South Dakota.
WASHINGTON. Nov. ia telegram iron,
Gen. Miles was received this morning by
Maj. Gen. schofeld, saying that there
seems to be no danger of trouble with the
Indians at the Rosebud and other agencies.
The Indians remain restless, however, and
are exciting themselves by frequent war
dances and are still looking for the coming
OF the Messiah who is to exterminate the
white man. The Indian prophets are
doing everything to stimulate the excite
ment
The failure Of the Messiah, however, to
appear on specified dates, has had some
what depressing effect upon their efforts.
Now it is predicted that he will appear in
December-a date not definitely fixed, in
view OF recent failures of accurate predic-
ton. Gen. Miles believes that when the
next failure is recorded the influence of the
prophets upon the Indians, already badly
shaken, Will be substantially destroyed
nc is certain that there is no danger of
trouble this winter, but if the present spirit
or restlessness and the agitation is coIitin-
ned next spring may witness an outbreak.
Every precaution has been made bv the
military authorities to promptly suppress
all outbreak ii 1T should occur Troops in
adequate numbers have been stationed at
points OF threatened trouble, and Gen. Ru-
gers visit has had a salutary effect upon the
Indians. sl.

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-Gen. Miles, accom-

Gen. Miles was in consultation with Secre-
tary of War Proctor about the alleged In

Inc stores or evacuation Of the settlers in
North Dakota are overdrawn. A few weak and
fearful residents, fearing the vengeance OF the
redskins, may have left their homes to await
the outcome OF the difficulty, but the rumor
that there has been a wholesale evacuation is
absolutely without foundation. We have made
q careful estimate OF the number afflicted by the
Messiah craze, and there are IN all not to exceed

intercept any outbreak.

HUN CRY ELEPHANT
How They Crafty Taste for Dain:iei on ALI
Oc.a ions.

Oc:a ions.
One favorlte food of the African
elephant is the tender, juicy roots of
the mimosa tree, which grows in scat
tered groups through most of the,
meadows and lowlands of central
Africa.
When an elephant finds a young
tree Of this sort, it is not difficult, as a.
rule, for him to get at the roots, espe-
cially if the surrounding soil IS moist
and loose, as is often the case after
it has been soaked by the heavy rain
falls of the tropics.
j If the y tree is loose, the elephsnt,
knowing his strength, winds his trunk
firmly round the tree, and plucks it.
from the earth, feat which is no.
harder for him than the pulling up Of
Il flower is for child.
But the elephant does not stop here;
experience has taught him the most
comfortable way OF enjoying his prize,
SO without relaxing his hold. he turns
the tree completely over, and stands
it with its upper branches thrust down
into the place where the roots were.
Then the earthly roots, now replacing
the. branches, remain within easy
reach of the strong and deft trunk.
African travellers tell us of great.
tracts of country almost covered with
these Inverted trees. Seeing the dry
trees turned upside down one would be:
more likely to think a wood had been
reversed by some mischievous fairies,
than to suppose hungry elephants had
been feeding there.
Sometimes an elephant viii. find q,
tree which defies his greatest efforts,
and absolutely refuses to be uprooted.
But the elephant does not give it up.
Not at all. He either brings another,
elephant to help him-a thing they
often do when the work is too much
for one-or, if he cannot find friend,
he sets his own wits to work. He
makes use of his tusks as levers,
thrusting them, as if they were crow
bars, deep under the roots, and prizes
away slowly and steadily until the tree
is loosened; and then with a great
wrench he completely uproots it and
1t goes topping over, leaving the
elephant victorious. - Caryl D. Has
