"There isn't ono pound Of goose feathers

used ten years ago." said dealer. "There
are several reasons for this. the principal one
being that the feather bed has gone entirely
out Of fashion.
NOW. what do you suppose had great deal
20 do with driving the feather bed out Of
fsvor3 Asthma and hay fever. They have
done moro than any other thing to lessen the
demand for feather beds and pillows. for It
was discovered q few years ago that feather
beds and asthma had strong affinity for each
other. and that nothing would start an
asthmatic wheeling 30 quickly as . couch Of
goose feathers. Asthmatics were not long In
finding 1t out. and the taboo Of the feather bed
and pillow extended to all parts OF the country.

secretarY NnbIe is Right.

WASHINGTON. D. c., January T.-Secretary
Noble, of the interior department, denies
with great earnestness that the Sioux
were in a starving condition and that the
pending trouble grew out of the fact that the
government had not kept its agreement with
them. The story of starvation among the
Sioux, he SAID was q pure fabrication. The
government had fed the Indians in idleness
for ten long years. Congress had thought
it was about time to see if this arrangement
was to De continued indefIAely or whether
the Sioux could be made self-supporting.
The annual appropriation therefore had
been cut down 100000, a very small sum
compared with the huge total amount. I'm
me6iately the Indians began to complain,
but made no effort towards supporting
themselves. They occupy a vast territory of
fertile land and were supplied with every
thing necessary to improve it. but they pre-
ferred to let it alone and to let the govern
ment put food in their mouths. 1t was
time, said the secretary. that these people
should be compelled to do something, and
he had lost patience with those who upheld
the Indians in their idleness. He sincerely
regretted that the recent action of the mill
tary had led to bIoodshed, and he congratu-
lated himself that his department was in no
way responsible for it.

Every Preparation ID Being Made
Numerous Surgeons on

Friendly Indians Very Anxious TO Get
Their Relatives From Among the Hos
tnss Before the Fight-Indians
Digging Rifle PitA

Pnz RIDGE AGENCY, January 7.-As to
the situation here. considered in its entirety,
the indications that the greatest battle of In
dian history is almost at hand are increasing.
The report of every scout adds new and
strong support to the indications that were
only emphasized by the bloody affair on
Wounded Knee.
General Miles believes exactly this, and
has said so In strong words. The small hand
full of Indian employees here affirm vehe-
mently. Before the terrible crash comes
they want to try and rescue their relatives
from the enemy's camp and are now inter
ceding with the authorities for permission,
ut the risk of their lives, to make the at
tempt The Indians in the government en-
ploy also express the hope that they can in
duce many of those who were friendly be-
fole the Wounded Knee battle and were re-
naming here according to instructions, who
also wish to be saved from the certain ami
hilation that awaits within the ranks of the
hostiles. Extensive rife pits are reported
being dug twelve miles west of here by the
hostiles and the report Is of such nature
that the authorities rely upon its truthful
ness. The hostlIes have burned many houses
river and finished killing the last remnant of
the great herd of government cattle that
they raided so heavily ABOUT a month ago
and have been drawing on ever since.
Everything constrains me to say that the
danger in which Pine Ridge agency's white
people stand at this hour, and must remain
until this crisis is all over, is one of the most
fearful peril that can well be imagined.
Since General Miles arrived he has received
the most positive admonitions from the ad-
ministration to avoid further bloOdshed.
Further bloodshed, however, can not be
avoided.
There is q rumor current in official circles
here that general call for volunteers to pro-
tect the adjacent territory will be made.
The shooting of an Indian arrow, covered
with pitch, partly burned, created considera-
BILE comment. The Indians have a super
sutton that if the first arrow fired into an
enemy's camp Is extinguished in It's flight it
is evidence that their contemplated raid will
be a failure. The arrow that came in was
shot from the north and barely missed the
head of teamster who was unhitching a
team a.few yards south of the hotel where
the correspondents are Quartered, which Is
near the center of the agency.
Arrival of physicians helped to make the
largest assembly of medical officers here
that has occurred since the rebellion. Com
ing as they do Immediately after the battle
and the heavy skirmishes since, the fact IS
plain that the war department Is convinced
that great bloodshed Is at hand.

What the English Pres. Saws.

LONDON, January THE Pail Mall Ga
zette says: ''The case for arbitration in the
Behring sea dispute is so clear, Lord Sails
bury's offer is so ample, and the feeling in
America in favor of arbitration is so general
and strong that it seems necessary to look for
Mr.. Blaine's motives for his warlike atti-
tude elsewhere than in the merits of the case.
That the American people would delibe-
rately prefer policy of exaggeration and
would sooner embark in fratricidal war
with England than submit to arbitration is
too silly and absurd to nee1 a moments con-
sideration."
sit is clear that Mr.. Blaine speaks not for
the nation, but for his party, that he means
bluff and plays to the anti English gallery"
The st. James Gazette says: There Is no
reason for alarm or to anticipate rupture.
Mr.. Blaine's political party is at low water
marx and he resorts to the old device of
twisting the lions tall"
