rest of young man named Schumacher.
Schumacher advertised stating that peo-
pie desiring to obtain remuneratiye work
to be done at home, should call upon
him at rooms 5, and 8, 316L South

Quite number saw the notice, much
to their SORROW. Schumacher repre-
sented that he desired their services in
repainting and enlarging photographs.
He represented that they could make
$2:and SO every day. All were required
to leave deposit OF s. for the
materials with which to do the work,

Murderer Eubanks Launched From the
Gallows Into Kingdom Come.
SAN JOSE. Jan. 19.-James NJ. Eubanks
was hanged in the Jail yard at IL 80 this
morning, for the murder of his daughter
at Los Gatos, December 20, 1889. He
dropped five feet, and died without .
struggle. In eight minutes after the
drop fell the physicians said his heart
had ceased TO beat. The rope cut the
flesh, and blood flowed out over his
breast. The body was lowered into the
coffin at :07, and carried to the under
takers. 1t will be sent to his brother
at Los Gatos tomorrow for burial.
On the scaffold Eubanks spoke, say
ing: "Oh Jesus. give myself to Thee.
Thy will be done. / hope this will be a
warning to others.'
Before going to the scafold he had
the following statement prepared:
County jail, 80 am, January 10Th.
acknowledge and deeply repent be-
fore God and my fellow men the awful
crime that has brought me to this sad
end. do not seek to screen myself in
anywise, yet my ignorance Of Gods
word, my bad habits of liquor-drinking
and card-playing, leading me into ali
manner OF trouble, led me into this.
50 far was gone in liquor that few
days before my great crime attempted
my own life, but was hindered by q
merclful providence. From all these
things ! would warn young men tn flee.
When came to this Jail my heart was
as hard as flint, but the warnings OF
my father to make NV neaca
with God, and my brothers. en-
treaties, and the faithful labors
OF some kind Christian friends who have
visited me in my trouble, have led me
to seek God, and hope in his mercy
through the Lord Jesus Christ. rely
upon the promises OF Gods word for for
giveness for all my sins, and if such q
sinner as have been is forgiven, do
not think there is any man ON earth but
may be forgiven if he turns to the Lord.
| am grateful to all my friends for their
kindness to me in these days, and my
last thoughts are for my children, and
that my fate shall be warning to 9TH
.erE.
iSigned) JAMES H. EUBANKs.
The crime for which ne was hanged
was deliberate and cold-blooded. He
borrowed double-barreled shot. gun
from q. Wheaton, under the pretense
that he was going to hunt ducks; he
also borrowed 10 cents and procured
ammunition then went to the Heath
house, in Los Gatos. Going to the
kitchen door, he looked in and saw his
daughter Ada, who was employed as a
waiter there. Az she never spoke after
she was shot, what took place between
them is reported only by 'Eubanks him
self. He said lie took that opportunity
of demonstrating with her, and trying to
persuade her to do differently from
what he accused her of doing, and when
she refused to be Influenced, he fred,
and the charge of shot entered her
heart. He tried to shoot himself and
failed, and then he attempted to cut
his throat. He pleaded guilty, but
withdrew his plea and was convicted. !.

Patti Rosa at the Grand Opera
House in Imp.
Patti Rosa reappeared last night at
the Grand in Fred Marsden's comedy
drama, Imp. The play has many nota-
BILE bright lines in it, and is further en-
livened by a good deal of singing and
dancing. The star has full scope for
her hoydenish pranks as may be in
ferred from the title Of the play. She
does good deal of clever singing OF
negro melodies. She is supported by a
company generally quite good, the best
of it being Gen. Boniface as Simpson
Salt, and Gerold Giffin as Asper Timid,
the attorney without memory. Miss
Emertine Floyd is a handsome woman
who plays Mrs. Claiborn, and Miss Alice
Irving was very winning as Mercy
Murden. The play will be repeated to-
night.

THE INDIAN TRoUBLE.
Troops Not to Be Withdrawn ~ Rapidly
rs Anticipated.

PINE RIDGE, 8. D., Jan. 19.-Mor,
nervousness was noticeable among ths
Indians this morning than had beer
noted for number OF DAYS. This wal
occasioned by variety of circumstances
Many Rosebud Indians fear to leave
this agency, lest, on their way to the
former place, they will be killed by
soldiers. Some OF them, however. have
already returned and more will follow.
The collection of arms is ANYTHING but
satisfactory. Only 104 guns have been
surrendered up to date. The news 81
the murder of Few Tails and four OF his
band, also tends to infame the Indians
here. The shooting is universally con-
demned as cold-blooded murder. This
morning the Indians rounded up their
ponies and herded them near their vii
lage, while the Indians themselves
hung around the tepees and silently
watched the agency.
Colonel Shafter last night broke up
three gambling dens and destroyed the
furniture.
This afternoon one OF the Indian po-
lice found the bodies of four dead Indi-
ans in the creek of Wounded Knee.
One was boy. two were girls, and the
fourth an old squaw. They were evil
IDENTIFY victims of the Wounded Knee
battle.
A meeting of the commanders OF the
various detachments of troops was held
this afternoon to decide upon certain
tactical movements, and at the same
time the general situation was canvassed.
The uneasiness among the Indians in
the morning rather died away this after
noon, and Two-Strike came in with
thirty of his men and delivered up
twenty guns, mostly Of obsolete pattern.
The uneasiness among the Indians to-
day was caused by the news of the kill
ing of Few Tails and his party, told in
yesterdays dispatch, they being firmly
convinced that he was nassacred with
out reason. On account of the bad eff
fects of this on the young bucks, Gen
eral Miles has ordered forage for twenty
days longer, and will himself remain
here until everything is quieted down.
The band Of Cheyennes will start to-
morrow for Tongue river, permission
having been received from Washington.
General Miles hopes that he will ulti-
mately be permitted to separate the hos
tiles and send them to the agencies
where they belong.
OMAHA, Jan. 19.-An order was re-
ceiyed at the quartermaster' depart
ment tonight resembling the instructions
to discontinue sending rations to Pine
Ridge, and ordering ten days rations
forwarded for the troops in the field.
The new order indicates that the troops
will not be withdrawn as rapidly as in
tended. !

the part OF Calkins's supporters. He

OF Calkins,s supporters started up the

no one was hurt.
Fifty-six Republicans signed the call

PIERCE's HARD PULL.
BISMARCK, N. d., Jan. 19.-Tomorrow
ballotiDg begins for United States sem
ator. The Democrats have caucussed
and agreed to support ex-Secretary M.
i. Mccormick. The fight OF the field
on the Republican side against the re-
election Of Gilbert A. Pierce has been so
determined that all efforte to hold a Re-
publican caucus thus far have failed. It
is probable that the majority of the
Democrats, after casting compliment
ary vote for Mccormick, will throw for
a low tariff Republican. Pierce's
friends are sanguine.
