alleged phantom motioned to them to fol-
low, ard glided from hill to hill in the di-
rection of the Bed Lands.

this as proof that Sitting Bull is the Mes.
slab, aud that he was reckoning them to
ioin his followers. The ghost dance is the
consequence. and the ranchman says the
Indians as far down as Willow creek are
affected If the story is correct it is a seri-
ous affair.

Emperor williams rhouchtfulness.

LONDON, December 10Th. = Emperor
William has made 5000 families grateful
by one of those acts of though,fulness 70,
his people which are characteristic of the
young ruler. It has been customary for

work. The Emperor has ordered that in
stead of using soldiers tine extra force be
recruited from the deserving and unem-
ployed poor. This step is also highly
satisfactory to the military authorities,
who dislike to have the troops mixed up
with civilian employments.

looked upon as culprit, because he did
not find out what was going on, especially
as large quantities of Nihilist documents
and publications were discovered in his
house.

The question of the suppression of Car
dinal Layigerie's salary on the ground that
he had occupied himself with politics was
discussed to-day by the Senate. The Min
lister of Justice defended the Cardinal, and
his remarks showed strong desire for the
establishment of an entente with the Va.i-
can. The next election of the Pope ap-
pears to be an early probability, and the
whole influence of France will be directed
to the selection of Cardinal favorable TO
the republic. The most satisfactory can
didates are Livigerie. Zgliara, Rattaele,
Monaco. La Valletta and Gibbons of Amer
lea. Gibbons impartial treatment Of re-
publican countries makes him a favorite
candidate after Livigerie.

Mrs. Eldridge's School.

The closing exercises of Mrs. S, C..
Sampson Eldridge private schoolwas
quite a success, and those present
were highly entertained. The little
ones were well disciplined, and each
one showed from the mastery way
in which they delivered their speeches
and Dialogues that they had been
properly drilled for the occasion.
The music was sweet and very melo-

on any occasion.
At the close of the programme Prof

something for the encouragement OF
the school, which he did in the choic-

How Jackson Ward Fared.

The newly elected Common Coun-
ell and Board of Aldermen met in
Joint session July l. The city Off
GERS were elected. Later the Board
of Aldermen met and Mr.. Dickerson
was elected president by acclama-
tion. Alderman K. M. Taylor made
an eloquent speech, in which he COM
mented on the sterling qualities of
the newly elected president. He
then called attention to the fact
that the Democrats who had oppos-
ed Mr.. Dickerson were now all for
him. They had predicted dire re-
suits when he had placed him III
nomination before, to fill the presi-
Dental vacancy. but he had made u
good officer. He was particularly
severe on Alderman Preston Belvin,
whom he charged with being absent
when important measures were pend
ing. He denominated him ''the
Great Satchem of the Powhatan
Club" Said he: preston Belvin
is very much like the man described
by John Letcher: He's hell on
dress parade, but damn poor in ac-
tion.'" There was quite commo-
tion in the council chamber Mr.
Belvin arose and proceeded to ex-
plain his position. He said he
would not now reply to the unwar-
ranted attacks upon him, but an
answer it should have.
The Common Council and Board of
Aldermen met Monday, 7th inst, at
which time the Committees were an.
