ing Element.

WASHINGTON Oet. .19.-The annual
report of Major General Nelson A.
Miles, commanding the Department OF
Missouri. is mainly an historical review
Of the Sieux war of last winter. its
causes, episodes and its results. Viewed
from this distance of time the general
finds good deal to say in a general
way, and his report is an interesting
record Of events. Among the causes
that resulted in the Sioux outbreak he
mentions the gradually increasing pow
erty of the Cheyennes and the Sioux,
the insufficiency of rations issued by the
government, the failure of crops in 1880
and 1890, and the inability of the Indians
to immigrate to other parts of the
country. He quotes at some length
from reports made by General Ruger,
then commanding the department of
Dakota, to show that the disaffection of
the Indians at Standing Rock was to be
attributed to the following failures of
the government.
l. To establish an equitable southern
boundary for the reservation.
2. To expend just proportion of
money received from the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway company
for right of way privileges for the bene-
fit of the Indians of that agency.
8. To issue certificates of title to al
lotments as required by the treaty of
1858.
A. To provide the full allowance of
seeds and agricultural implements to
Indians engaged in farming. as required
by the same treaty.
5. To issue the full number of cows
and oxen, under the same treaty.
8. To provide comfortable dwellings
for the Indians, under the treaty of 1874.
~ To issue the full rations stipulated
in the treaty of 1875
8. To issue the full amount of am
nu1ty supplies stipulated in the treaty
of 1868.
8. To have the clothing and other
annuity supplies ready for issue Aug. l.,
OF each year, same treaty.
10. To appropriate money for the
payment of ponies taken from the In
dians by authority Of the government
in 1875.
General Miles declares that while the
"volcano has cooled down, the fires of
discord still remain. He suggests that
during the worlds fair the national
guard of $4,000 troops and 10000 United
States troops be modified at Chicago.
He estimates that this would cost $3.50
600 and recommends that congress be
asked to make the necessary appropria-
ton.

Serious Accident Caused by Sight Of q
Supernatural Visitor.
WASHINGTON G. H., O., Oct. 19.-Mrs.
Aleshire, woman about 40 years old
living on Washington avenue, met with
an accident, caused by the sight of a
ghost, which almost cost her her life.
The house in which the family resides
has been thought to be haunted for
years, and many mysterious sights have
been witnessed there by persons who
chanced to live in the house, young
lady having died there under strange
circumstances. Mrs, Aleshire was in
the act of starting downstairs into the
cellar, when just as she left the top step
a mysterious something resembling q
woman dressed in black arose apparent
ly through the cellar floor and faced the
horrifed woman. Mrs. Aleshire carried
in her hand a kettle of boiling hot apple
butter, and when she beheld the ghost
she fell down the long, steep fight of
stairs to the bottom, lying in this state
on the floor until neighbors called in by
her little daughter arrived. A physician
was summoned and an investigation re-
vealed the fact that the woman's arm
was burned by the apple butter almost
to the bone, some of the flesh being
ready to drop off. Her leg was also
broken and she is in sorry plight. She
declares that she saw genuine ghost,
and the family moved out Of the haunt
ed house.

Wyoming Indians Successful.
DENVER, Oct. 19.--The reporter of
the United Press who accompanied
the commission appointed by Secretary
Noble to negotiate with the Shoshone
and Arapahoe Indians of Wyoming, for
a cession of a portion of Wind River
reservation, telegraphs that the com
mission has been entirely successful and
has effected an agreement with the In

United States more than half of their
reservation. The ceded land consists of
about |. 100000 acres. For the lands
ceded the Indians receive $500, 900. or
about 55 cents per acre. OF this amount
all but a cash payment of 500, 900
will be put into funds for the
benefit of Indians and the annual inter-
est expended in the purchase and main
tenance of a cattle herd, in giving them
irrigation bitches, schools and other
things necessary to make the Indians
self supporting The land ceded is,
with the exception of about 100, 900
acres, well watered, and the bottom
lands are rich. Coal and oil are found
on the ceded lands, and there are indi-
cations of the presence of more valuable
minerals. The country is $50 miles
from railroad communication and for its
developement needs a railroad line
through it in the direction of Yellow
stone Park and the Northwest.

Insanity in Minnesota.

ST.. PAUL, Oct. 19.-Secretary Hart
has compiled some very interesting sta
tistics on insanity in Minnesota. 1t is
shown that since 1870, the first year
considered in the table, the proportion
of insane patients to 100000 inhabi-
tants has been steadily increasing at an
alarming rate. The year 1889 shows a
lessening of the increase of insane pa
tients in the state hospitals, but the de-
crease was only temporary. The rate
of increase in 1888 was II g per cent. 1889,
81; 1880, IA, and 1891, s.3. Patients per
1,000,0 900 inhabitants: 1870, ass; 1915,
728; 1880, $50; 1885, 1888; 1880, 800;

Eight Times . Bride.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Oct. 10. Mrs.
Jane Schoolcraft, bewitching little
widow of 90 years, whose home is in
Kiowa county, has broken the record in
this state by her marriage just solemn
lied with Philip Adkins. He is her
eighth husband in the past twenty
years. Her last spouse is 81 years Of
age. Both bride and groom, however,
seem decidedly youthful. When it was
known that she was about to marry for
the eighth time there was talk of char
ivari for her, but the marriage was so
quietly performed that these manifesto
tions Of friendly interest failed in
timely consummation.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Oct. 19.-Miss Maggie
Smith, young lady stenographer of
this city, discovered a day or two ago
that Keokuk, chief Of the Comanche In
dians was living on piece of land that

once entered the line at the land Office
and filed on the land. She went to take
possession of the land and the chief was
elected. This claim is highly i'm
proved; has brick house and fine barns
ON it, and it is worth over $3, 900.

The omal,a Lands Problem.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - Secretary
Noble has been considering the various
propositions that have been made for the
settlement of the Omaha lands trouble.
These lands, largely covered by timber,
are situated near Ashland, Wis, and
have been returned to the government
after having been reserved for the
Omaha company for many years. Just
how to dispose of them SO that the ac-
tual settlers and not the lumber corpor-
ations viii be benefited is a question
that Is hard to answer. The secretary
is wrestling with the problem. Com
missioner Carter put in some time on the
matter and then referred it to Secretary
Noble

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Oct. 19.-The
gale from the south almost accomplished
the destruction of the pontoon bridge
opposite this city in the Missouri river.

were blown from their moorings on the
west side of the river and carried up
stream. A farmer and his team were
crossing as the bridge gave way and
they were blown away on the detached
section of the bridge, where they must
remain until the gale abates.

YESTERDAYS COURT NEWS.

More Alleged Cases of Water Wells Being
Spoiled by Salt and OIL From Gas Welis-
A Great Aqueduct Scheme-Notes From
the Criminal Court.
1t is possible that oil and gas producers
will soon begin to regard the decision OF the
Supreme Court holding them liable for salt
ing or oiling water wells as the opening OF a
Pandora's box. W. 7. Kennedy and others OF
the borough of Coraopolis have employed At
torneys W. 7. Treadway and Young & Trent to
bring suit against the Glenfield and Bellevue
Natural Gas Company for damages alleged to
have been sustained by reason of the drilling
of the great gas roarer on the Jolly property IN
that village.
They say that not only did salt water and oil
from the well percolate into their water wells,
but that they were put to Inconvenience and
expense by the gas filling the circumamblent
air, which was rendered unfit for breathing
purposes. and further prevented them from
making fires in their houses for several days
when the weather was very inclement.
Unless means are adopted to shut of the
salt water when this county has few thousand
water works for town and country alike will be
needed. 1t is just possible that such state of
affairs will assist the project of those who
urge that floods be prevented and a supply of
water be made permanent in the Ohio for
navigable purposes by storing the surplus in
the Allegheny mountain gulches. If this were
done all this section might be supplied with
pure spring water by means of great aque-
duct.
