RnHnIo nllI,s Nrlssion.

New York, Dec. 1.-The Suns spe-
cial from Bismarck, NJ Oak, says
Buffalo Bill, who passed through here
Thursday, has been entrusted with u
mission Of high Importance in reference
to the Messahic craze in this region.
All the members Of the party with him
were reticent, but it has been learned
that Buffalo Bill bears autograph letters
from Cen Miles authorizing him to
arrest Sitting Bull and deliver him q
prisoner at the nearest military post.
Buffalo Bill and sitting Bull are old
acquaintances and no introduction will
be necessary.
From Buffalo Bills well known con-
tempt Of the Indian pretender, who has
been the main cause Of the disturbances
of the last fourteen years, it may be
surmised that he will make short work
of the arrest, and that, should any re-
sistance be offered he may make short
work Of Sitting Bull
Gen Miles idea of the most effective
mode of dealing with the Messiah craze
is the prompt arrest of the leaders en-
gnged in melting this dangerous lunacy.
Similar orders, there is reason to be-
lieye. have been issued to the com
mandess Of the Pine Ridge agency and
other points at which troops have been
concentrated within the last week or
ten days.

DARK MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Disappearance of a Farmer Explained
by His NT1rderer's Confession.

PORTLAND, Ind, Dec l. - In Sep
tember, 1888, John Isandart, thrifty
farmer living three miles south of Port
land, started from home telling his wife
that he was going to DR.. Watson's to
pay bill he owed him. On his way it
was known that he stopped at the home
of John Hindman, a man of unsavory
reputation. lsenhart never reached
Watson's, and his disappearance was Il
great mystery. Searching parties We're
organized, and the best detectives were
employed but the efforts of all were
futile, and it remained mystery until
yesterday
Soon after Isenhart's disappearance
Hindman enlisted in the war, and be-
fore his death, in 1871, confessed to his
son-in-law, Anne Lanning, that he killed
Isenhart and buried him under his sta
BILE. Lanning carried the secret as long
as he could, but lately disclosed to John
Hearn where the body could be found.
Yesterday, Hearn, with others, went to
the spot indicated by Lanning, dug up
the body, and brought it to the city
The skull was badly shattered, showing
the effect of the fatal blow dealt by
Hindman. This has created consider
able excitement here, as it was believed
by most of the people that IsenhaTt had
simply deserted his family and was still
alive.

Bnl's Mission to Arrest Sitting Bull.
Latest From the Frontier.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, s. Oak, Dec.
IA blow will probably be struck
against the Rosebud Indians before
many hours. Orders have been issued
to the Ninth cavalry to be ready TO
march at moments notice. Two
hundred rounds of ammunition were
given to the men and every preparation
made for hasty march.
The news from the camp of the Rose
bud Indians forced the authorities to
take some action. Scouts and Indians
who have just come in bring the most
alarming reports. The Rosebnd red
skins, according TO their reports, are
ready for fight They have been
dancing the war dance for the last
twenty-four hours, The two bands
under Two Strikes and Short Bull have
joined their forces and are making all
preparations for war
The reports apparently convinced
sary The four troops of the Ninth
number about 200 men. Col. Henry is
in command of the four troops that are
headed by Capt Stedman, Capt Taylor,
Lieut. Wright and Lieut.. Guelfyle.
Little Wound has come into the Off
GERS headquarters, and reported his
inability to control his band in the in
terests of peace, The Indians under his
guidance have been unusually restless,
and il now seems probable that they
will soon be found in the hostile camp.
Plenty Bear, an old time, friendly In
dian, who lives at Wounded Knee,
twenty five miles northeast of here,
came in with an alarming report to
Agent Roger, He stated that there
We're 354 lodges, being over 1000 In
dians, at Wounded Knee, and that they
had resumed the ghost dance, with
many warlike acc0mpaniments. He
said they We're formed in the regular
war dance proper and were swearing
vengeance upon the whites for conspir-
ing to stop their ghost dance.
They have taken an oath TO resist in
reference if it costs the last drop of
their hearts blood. Plenty Bear said
that he witnessed the dance i'll person
and chat Little Wound, who visited the
agency here Thursday and said that his
band had stopped dancing, was joining
in it hotter than ever with his entire
band. 1t was further stated by Plenty
Bear that the deviltry consisted of
buraing the houses of the settlers and
stealing stock was still going on and
that great loads Of recently slaughtered
beef were coming in every hour.

RUSSIA DEFENDED.
A Reason Given for Her Course Against
the Jews.

A Reason Given for Her Course Against
the Jews.
According to Berlin dispatch, a
printed circular, apparently emanating
from the Russian government, although
not signed by any responsible name, has
been received there. The circular de-
fends the course of the Russian authori-
ties concerning the Jews, and says that
the czar is supported by the unanimous
opinion of the Christian population of
Russia in the measures regulating the
Hebrews
II is asserted that the Jews have
everywhere goaded the people to mad
ness by usuly, that they have carried
eXtOrtiOn to an extreme, and that, un-
less restrained, they would soon be in
possession OF all the property in the
places where they reside; that they
avoid army service, and that the
weather. among them compel their
Christian servants to work ON Sunday.
Other charges are made against the He
brew race, of even more Infamous
nature, in regard to the treatment of
Christian servants. The circular is
being industliously distributed by anti
Semites in Jenna and Berlin.

Myth.

Myth.
Letters from British Columbia state
that the number of vessels engaged in
the sealing industry in Behring sea and
vicinity will be doubled next year. The
letters say that the reports of the great
falling off in the number of seals in
those waters are untrue. The false
statements are circulated by the two
great American companies which have
until recently enjoyed a monopoly of
the sealing business Their object is to
discourage fresh capital from going into
the business 1t is also stated that the
two companies named have purposely
reduced their own catch this season, in
order to lend an appearance of truth to
the stories of the speedy extinction OF
the seal Species and also to enhance the
price of the skins If they succeed in
frightening competitors, they will next
season form a close combination and
reap enormous profits.
