I rendered, and that it was now safe to re-
Noyc the forces under the latter's command

zens OF Nebraska are perfectly secure and
that there is no further danger from an out
break, have ordered the removal of the en-
tire military force under my command now

Indian reservation. Four companies will be
moved tonight and the remaining force by
the regular trains tomorrow. Please advise
me If anything occurs to make it desirable to
delay the removal of the force under nv
command, or any part thereof"
Shortly after the above dispatch had left
headquarters the general received telegram
from Vifquan to the effect that he should
hold his command as now stationed until sat
isiied that the lives and property of the citi-
zens are perfectly secure.
General Colby luforms me that m
less he receives advices from Gen

mentioned, part of the forces under his com
mand will move tonight and the remainder

COOLING HOME.
Several Militia Companies Start on
the Return JOurucy

VIC hNc'uFD journey.
CuADRoN, Neb., Jan. ID Special Telegram
TO The BEE. To-day has been one Of the
busiest in the Western Union Office in this
city. The uninterrupted passage of business
has taxed the local force to the uttermost.
The receipt of local messages regarding the
situation at Pine Ridge have been
very numerous, their tenor indi-
eating, beyond doubt, victory
for patience and perseverance,, but whether
General Miles reward will be permanent
settlement now remains to be seen.
The Indians, with few exceptions, have
returned to the agency.
Generals Brooke, Carr and the other com
mands are all within easy distance and a
simultaneous move upon the Indians can
be made at a moments notice and General
Miles is now, II at no other time master of
the situation.
But the end is not yet. 1t has not been de-
cidcd whether he will insist on sur
render of all arms in their possession
and, if he does Insist, It re-
mains to be seen if his request will be COM
Piled with By those familiar with the In
dian character it is thought the prediction al
ready set forth in your paper will be verified
ana That as soon as an attempt Is made to
enforce this demand will come the tug of war
Dispatches state that General Miles Is san
gulne there will be no further trouble, but it
Is not yet known what his future plans are.
That this belief is generally shared in is sub
stantiated by the fact that general orders for
the return home of all the companies of the
national guards have been issued
Company / of Bennett, Neb, will leave
Chadron at $3.50 tomorrow morning, returning
home via Crawford and the B. & NJ railway
Company of Fremont and company f. of
Junlata have been ordered to break
camp and return to Chadron for fur
thur orders. They will probably ioave
here tomorrow evening via the Fremont
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railway. Com
pany E, Second regiment, of Chadron are
expected home tomorrow morning The
several other companies now stationed at

The statement of the marriage license
clerk in Coyington to a young lady yes
terday afternoon was one that would
lisappoint even an ardent lover of the
male persuasion. She applied for a mar
rage license, and was told in cold, Judi
cial accents that it was not yet leap
year, and that it was a custom, sane
toned by the laws of Kentucky, that
the gentleman in q marrying affair
should call for the license and do the
necessary oath taking. She was some
what abashed, but soon recovered her
serenity and went On to explain. Her
name was Leonora ~Schloenker, she said,
and the gentleman to whom she was to
be married was John ]. Ruby. 1t was
almost impossible for him to leave his
occupation before dark. and then it
would be too late to get the license.
Therefore, she had consented to come
over and secure the paper.
1t seemed a deserving case in the eyes
of the clerk, and he proposed q plan to
circumvent the difficulty. He agreed to
hold the office open to a certain hour
and secured the promise of Judge Shine
to be present at the appointed time to
perform the marriage ceremony. Miss
Schloenker went back to consult Mr..
Ruby, who was more than delighted
with the arrangement and readily as
sented to the proposition. Last evening
they met and went across the bridge,
and a half hour later returned husband
and wife. Cincinnati Enquirer.

While extending and repairing the old
buildings of the late Royal Naval school
at New Cross, s. E., which is shortly to
be opened by the Goldsmiths' company
as their Technical and Recreative insti-
tute, it became necessary to remove the
floor of the old gymnasium. In doing so
the workmen discovered the skeleton of
n cat in close juxtaposition to that of a
rat. The bodies of the animals were not
quite two inches apart in a sort of a
wedged shaped cul de sac, which was
wider at the top than the bottom, and
so preventing the cat from quite reach
ing the rat. When found, the entrance
to the hole or passage was filed up with
dust and rubbish, and there was nothing
to prevent egress of the animals by the
way they had entered except the disin-
clination of the cat to leave its prey.
The skeletons when found were more
than half covered with dust from the
foor above them, and have probably
been many years in the position they
were found, in which position Mr.. Red
mayne, secretary of the Goldsmiths' in
%stitute, has had them carefully mounted
and photographed. A curious coinci-
dence is that exactly the same discovery
of the skeletons of n cat and rat together
under a floor occurred while pulling
down some old buildings to construct
the Peoples palace, which is the imme-
diate predecessor of the Goldsmiths' in
stitute.-Pail Mall Budget.
