OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 7.-World- Herald
special: The Gordon of troops is draw
ing tighter around the hcstiles. This is
shown by the discovery less than mile
from Pine Ridge of bunch of COWS
shot with arrows. Evidently the Indians
are trying to cut off small body of SOL
diers to get arms and ammunition. The
hostiles are on guard night and day.
Fires are being burned at night to pre-
vent any one from escaping from their
camps, more especially Red Clouds band
Gen. Miles has sent peace commission
to the hostiles. If they still refuse to
come in their
Camp VIII BE Bombarded.
Machine and shell guns are being placed
on all sides of the camp and at the COM
mand a 1nurderous fire Of hot shells and
canister can be showered into the Indian
camp. This means utter annihilation to
the Indians if the order comes. Gen.
Miles is fast becoming impatient, and if
the Indians do not obey this last order a
bloody battle Of determination will then
be begun.

The trouble with all imitators is that
they are apt to overlook the excellences
and copy the defects. Sensible men
adopt sensible things whether they are
native or foreign. The great point is to
avoid going to extremes. Our styles
are in good taste simply because we
throw aside the absurdities and avail our
selves Of the best ideas wherever we
find them. They include nothing that
good, sound common-sense will not i'm
mediately approve Of. We have shaved
the margin of profit down to the lowest
possible fraction, which is the reason
why we can offer you Sensible Clothing
at sensible prices.

Governor Fowle TO Give Grand-sire Busbee

Especial Telegram 10 the pispatch.l


RaLKroH, February Am important bill
was introduced in the Legislature TO-DAY.
II is to incorporate the Norfolk. Whining
ton and Charleston railway.
A bill was also introduced 10 incorporate
the North Carolina Society for the Preyen-
ton Of Cruelty 20 Animals and Children.
The Senate passed bill increasing the
penalties for dealing in futures.

Governor Fowle will give at the Execu-
tive Mansion next Monday evening re-
ception in honor Of Grand-Sife Charles Nj.
Busbee, of the Supreme Grand Lodge OF
Odd-Fellows. who has arrived mere with
his bride.
THE scHooL-TAx.
Many county alliances are instructinR
members of the Legislature to vote for
bill increasing the school-tax from 121s to
Is cents on the 800 valuation OF property,
and tor bill decreasing the interest rate
from 10 6 per cent.
Ex-Sherif Rogers, of Granville, was here
to-day, and made final settlement OF taxes
with the State Treasurer. The grand jury
did not find q true bill against him ON the
charge of poisoning Parker, the manager OF
one OF his farms. II is said the jury stood
II.
against Mrs. Parker. who was also accused
of participation in the crime.
The Supreme Court met this morning for
the spring term, and called the cases from
the First district.
VALUED POLICIES.
Senator Bellamv will introduce n bill to
have valued policies in North Carolina on
real estate. The bill will require all insu-
rance companies which issue policies on
buildings in case of total destruction by
fire to pay TO the insured the face OF the
policy. The Senator tells me this is very
just law, and that in great many cases
agents after having for years taken pro-
perty at q certain value in case OF ire
come forward and say they Will not pay
this value. but will only pay the sum for
which they can replace the house. Yet
they do not refund any sums paid as pre-
miums on the property, being the, differ
ence between the insured value and what
they claim is the present value. The Sena-
tor tells me there is a growing desire for
the enactment of such a law, and he be-
lieves the bill will pass.
DEPOSIT LAW.
He also tells me that deposit law will
very probably pass, as there is strong
movement in its favor. There was de-
post law IN this State up 70 few years
ago, the amount of deposit being 10000:
The amount under the proposed law Will
be from $40, 900 to S2j. 900, the latter figure
being generally preferred. The intention
is TO weed out number of the weak and
irresponsible companies. Since the repeal
of the deposit law insolvent companies
have done business in the State which
have failed 10 pay undisputed losses.
