HAS PROBABLY BEEN FOUGHT.


ST. LOUIS, Jan IA staff corre-
spondent of the Post Dispatch at Rush
vile, Neb, telegraphs that paper as
follows under Saturdays date:
The crisis has been reached and gen
eral battle is looked for tomorrow, and
the circumstances are forcing Il concu-
sion to the hostiles, and parleying will
not be longer continued by either side.
The Indians said yesterday that Gen.
Miles must prepare to fight or get off the
reservation.
Gen Miles, it is said has given them
until tonight to surrender, and if they
do not come in by that time, he will
close in upon them. This is made neces-
sary by the condition of his men. Those
ON the north have been pretty well worn
out with camp life in this bleak climate,
and the cold marches from one position
to another
They cannot stand it much longer,
and unless matters ar brought to an
end at once the Indians will have no one
to oppose them but worn out and frozen
out soldiers who are unfit for duty. The
conduct of the men has been exceptional
and they have borne their hardships
without murmur. In order that the
situation Of the forces just previous to
the expected battle may be better under
stood, it may be necessary to repeat
what has already been told
In the first place the Fremont, Elk
horn and Missouri Valley railway runs
east and west of the towns situated upon
this line, North of the railway, about
fourteen miles. is The militia line. They
are stationed at intervals, and mounted
men ride constantly from one to the
other Eleven miles further and west
from Rushville is the agency, where
Gen, Miles is with his men.
Sixteen miles further north are the
Sioux and due east are found first the
Rosebuds and then the Brules Many
of the Rosebuds and Brules are already
with the Pine Ridge Indians. but there
are many more on their respective reser-
vations who are expected to join the
hostiles the moment there is an out
break The position of the troops up to
this morning was the same as already
stated in these dispatches.
But the situation is changing rapidly.

Out OF hudson Bay.
OTTAWA, Jan. 12.--Commander Cor
don, of Dominion protective cruisers, in
his report to the minister of marine
fisheries, recommends that in view of
the rapid depletion of the whale fishery
in the Hudson bay by American whal-
ing vessels, the government passed legis-
lation closing these waters for a period
of ten years, so as to enable small whales
to mature. He also points out that these
vessels do a large amount of trading
among the natives, paying no duty and
coming in competition with the Hudson
bay people who have to pay duty, and in
view of the manner in which Canadian
sealing vessels have been treated in
Behring sea, thinks the government
should not hesitate to protect the inter-
ests of Canada in the Hudson bay.

TO RAILROAD MEN.

A large number Of the voters of
Dodge City are railroad men, belonging
to the different brotherhoods and labor
organizations, tie object Of which is to
resist and protect themselves from the
cncroachmcnts and expressions which
organized capital is constantly exercis-
ing towards labor. To these men, the
Peoples party especially commends it
self.
Like these labor organizations, the
primary object of the Peoples party is
to SO shape Legislation that labor shall
be at least equal before the law with
capital and that the laboring man shall
receive the fruits of his toll. In order
to do this, it seeks to bring within Its
ranks all who have a similar object.
The idea may be best illustrated by the
case of a Grand Army corps, which,
when united, can 90 on and tight bat
ties, win victories and achieve results
that the brigades, regiments and COM
panies acting separately never could ac-
complish, but simply waste their ener-
gles and deplete their own ranks with
out in the least injuring the common
enemy.

LOCALITY OF THE CANDI-
DATES.

We desire 10 call the attention. Of the
voters Of Ford county TO the manner in
which the candidates On the various
tickets are distributed over tie county.
On the republican ticket, four out Of
the six on the general ticket and both
commissioners are from Dodge City,
and, on the democratic ticket, five out
Of the six on the general ticket, one
commissioner. in fact, and the other,
practically, are from Dodge City. On
the Peoples ticket, four out of the six
and one of the commissioners are from
the country and nearly every pat of
the county is represented.
This needs no comment. We mere
ly desire to state the fact and let the
voters decide as to which ticket best
represents the people.

In order to force the Alliance voters
back Into the old parties, some of the
loan companies have decided not to
place any more money in Kansas lands
until the people stop electing such men
as PETER and Simpson to congress. In
Texas they demand the repeal of laws
that do not suit London brokers, and
in Kansas, they have decided to starve
US out if We do not eject men who will
work for the money lords. In Nebras-
ka they will be starved out because Of
the warehouse law. The laboring peo-
pie Of America can see at a glance who
owns them and who control their votes.

home for US, and our representatives

DOWN THE RING.

It Is a we'll known fact that ever
since the organization of Ford county,
a small ring in Dodge City has con-
trolled the Offices. The nominations on
both sides have been dictated by this
ring and then a slate made up, com
posed of parts of both tickets, and
elected.
The same tactics are being pursued
this fall.
The republican members of the ring
have no intention of electing B. S. Will
liams, county treasurer Neither has
the democratic part any intention Of
electing French, sheriff. And we make
the prediction here that these two men
will run very far behind their ticket.
This year the republicans are giving
everything else on the ticket for sheriff.
1t was known two years ago, aad
freely talked about at that time, that
Beeson would be the republican candi-
date for sheriff this fall. with the un-
derstanding that he would receive DEM
ocratic support in return for the sup
port that his republican friends gave to
the democratic candidate for sheriff at
that time. is an open secret that the
ring ticket this fall is Becson for sher-
if, Mueller for treasurer, Crane for
clerk and Beverly for register of deeds.

willing that little caoal Of politicians

TIE baldheads may find little com.

rs false the doctrine that abundant hair
is a sign Of bodily or mental strength in
man. It says that despite the Samson

yet they form the most enduring of
races. The average madhouse furnishes
proof that long and thick hair is not q

The Craze Output

In reply to a recent statement by q
Buffalo paper that there would be about
twenty-five hundred carloads Of grapes
sent out Of Chautauqus county. N. Y,
this season, an extensive grower Of that
region says q careful estimate shows
that the yield in the old vineyards this
year will be only about sixty per cent,
Of that Of last year. The increased
acreage, however, is expected to make
up the deficiency, 50 that there will be
about the same amount for shipment as
last year. During the harvest Of 1890
there was shipped from that section
three hundred and ffty-seven carloads,
and there viii be about the same amount
this year. This may seem like large
quantity. but II evenly distributed to
all the Inhabitants of the country, would

If man is convinced that the peo-

men who have held the reins Of govern

take him q minute to decide that his
