A telegram has been received at army
headquarters from General Brooke, com
manding the Department of Dakota, in
response to one sent by General Scho-
field asking the truth about the report
that Big Foot's band had left the reser-
vation and started for Pine Ridge. Gen
eral Brooke stated he had been unable
to learn anything definite about the
movement, but would find out the scope
and significance at once. There is no
apprehension felt at Washington that
the movement will be followed by any
thing like last winters outbreak. Gen
eral Schofeld said: "The state of things
in the Indian country to-day is far better
than year ago. There is more content
among the Sioux this winter than last.
This is mainly due, believe, to the fact
that the affairs OF the government so far
as they affect the Indians are better adj

discernable signs of trouble this winter,

counter containing the 20 on the face
and the portrait OF Garfield there is lit
tie of the gray of the photograph about
it. The seal is small and scalloped, hav-
ing a reddish tinge, apparently applied
with a brush. The rumber is very pro-
nounced and heavier than in the genu-

of an inch shorter and one-eighth of an
inch narrower than the genuine. II has
the two parallel silk threads running
through it. The tint OH the back OF the
note is light brown, while in the genuine
notes it is orange. This counterfeit is
determined by the character of its tints
rather than by the lines in the engraving,
az it is photograph OF genuine work.

Anuisance that troubled England fifty

being used az a substitute for cream "a
tartar in baking powders. A story is
told that very large percentage OF the
baking powders sold on the market con-
tain either alum or ammonia, and
many Of them contain both these per-
nicious drugs. Much timely alarm isl
felt at the wholesale use OF alum in|
bread, biscuit and pastry. To young
children, growing girls, persons oi|
weakly frame, alum bread eaten morn-|
ing, noon and evening is the most
harmful. IL is the small quantities taken
at every meal that do the mischief.
Alum is cheap, costing but or cents al
pound, while cream Of tartar costs 30
cents, and the high price OF cream of tar

made OF alum. II the reader wants to-
know something OF the corrosive quali-
ties OF alum, let him touch piece TO his
tongue; then reflect how it acts on the
tender, delicate coats of the stomach.

recent number list of alum and am

value at this time. Following is asco1

landlady offered me some beautiful looking

She Is Turning to Bone.

Mrs. Mollie Hughes, a highly respected
widow lady, living near Camerville, Ida,
is afflicted with a unique and most dis
tressing disease. Little by little the flesh
of her entire body is turning to solid bone,
or In other words she is becoming ossifed.
The disease was first noticed in 1886 when
Mrs. Hughes was Miss Duychink, of Can
yon Rapids, At that time only a single fin
ger was affected. Within 9 month after
the time when Miss Duychink first no
ticed the numbness and stiffness of the fin
ger it mad been accidentally broken oil
while she was asleep.
The incident gave the girl no pain, there
being neither blood, nerves or flesh left in
the diseased member, but it exalted the
alarm of the family, who called in physi-
clan. The broken stump of the finger was
amputated back to where the living flesh
set on, and everything was thought to be
all right. Soon the flesh, muscles, arteries,
veins and nerves on her hands, fingers and
arms became as hard and feelingless as the
finger had been before it was broken off.
Next the awful malady extended to the
elbows, the forearms becoming as white
and clear as alabaster. Within the year
the toes and the end of the nose and ear
tips showed like color and rigidness The
process of Justification has now been going
on nearly five years, and the attending
physicians says that it is only matter of
time when the entire body of the poor vic
tim will be solid bone. 1t is rare dis
ease, and the pathology of 1t is little under
stood.-St. Louis Republic.

the entire right side of everything, yet she

British EccentricitY.

It is hard for an Englishman to say
whether his own countrymen are really
more eccentric than other people. He is
told they are; but how is he to know that
the information may not be built solidly
upon prejudice2 The saying, "Oh he's an
Englishman," with the shrug of the shout
ders that means so much, is often indeed
commonly put forward abroad when there
is talk Of the doings Of this or that man,
whose ways are not like the ways OF the
herd of mankind
Some Engishmen don't appreciate this
sort Of thing. They get in rage with the
foreigner who charges them with being of
an eccentric race. But, for my part
always take it as II compliment, bow and
express my obligations and assure the
speaker that trust he does not intention
ally fatter me and the countrymen of
whom am so proud.
On the other hand, however, every one
who has been even but for a few months
among the people of the Continent can not
help coming to the conclusion that we
English folk have not the monopoly of &C.
ycentricity.-All the Year Round.
