all are waiting for the word to attack
the hostiles. General Brooke and
staff are camped at Wounded Knee
creek where they have established
head quarters for the department of
the Platte. Last night picket
rode into camp and said several
bands of Indians tried to surprise
them by shooting at them from be-
hind piles of rocks. AS the night
was dark the number Of Indians
could not be estimated, but judging
from the number of shots fired, they
must have numbered at least twenty.

NEWBERG ITEMS.

Two new brick buildings are near
ing completion which add mate
rally to the confidence in the sub
stantial growth of our place.
Our city election yesterday resulted
in a good majority for men who will
maintain the reputation of our town
for temperance and morality, which
you know is the first concern of all
good government.
The holiday festivities with their
merry making and good cheer are
at last ended, and The Friends Pa
cific academy has resumed solid
work with the addition of two or
three new students,
Our Sabbath school work here
constitutes good guarantee for the
moral and religi Jus character of the
town. There are four of these, viz:
Friends, Evangelical, Presbyterian
and Free Methodist. Yes and the
Seventh day folks have one also, l
believe.
A series of revival meetings was
opened at Friends chapel on Christ
mas day, and have been and still are
the great central interest. They are
conducted by Rev. J. Fl. Douglass,
evangelist recently from Iowa. He
was assisted part of the time by Rev.
Marion George, of Salem. The
church is revived. Many new con-
versions are reported and Christians
Of every denomination are strength
ened and encouraged. These revi-
walls are conducted on line purely
evangelical and unsectarian, and l
bespeak for Brother Douglass great
work at Salem, as he is to begin
work there in the near future.

JUDGE DIXON GONE.

With perhaps a single exception Judge
Dixon, recently deceased, was the ablest
chief justice the Wisconsin supreme court
has ever had; and for sturdy integrity and
unyielding independence it can be safely
said that he ha3 no peer and few equals.
His whole course of life in his profession
was characterized by marked uprightness
and his conduct as a jurist was without
Flemish. The true mt rit of the man was
subjected to repeated tests of the most
trying kind while he was on the bench
but his line of action was never influenced
except by those considerations of right
and justice which give such strength and
dignity to our courts of law. His aban-
donment of judicial duties was entirely
voluntary and was prompted by the con
Viction that the practice of his profession
would prove more profitable than the exer-
else of the functions of the jurist.
The death of this able man will occasion
deep regret throughout the state. Such
public respect should be paid to his mem
DRY as BELTS his most honorable career.
