Presbyterian church Re-openlng.

The Presbyterian church edice, the
lecture room Of which has been remodel
ed and new heating apparatus introduced
throughout, will be ready for public SER
vice next Sunday. The congregation has
been worshippipg with the Baptist church
for the past eight weeks, and although
these union meetings have been pleasant
occasions to both congregations, 1t will be
a source CT qualification TO them to again
occupy their own home. During the past
four or five months the lecture room has
been entirely remodeled. In the place OF
rather dark and crowded rooms, there now
appear beautifully lighted and commodi-
GUS lecture, infant class, bible-class and
library rooms. BY the use of novel par
tiiions which roll up on cylinders, all
three rooms may be made into one large
one, covering almost the entire ground
floor Of the building. These rooms are
neatly carpeted and seated with chairs.
The improvement is very marked one,
and it is difficult TO see how it could be
bettered. The committee having the
work in charge are to be congratulated
upon their success.

The work of introducing the hot-wa.
ter system of heating into the Presby.
terrain church edifice in this city has been
completed by Mr.. A. c. Candy, and so
far as can be seen, the undertaking is a
perfect success. An expert from Phila-
delphia pronounces the work first class.
Tie heat is pleasant, the temperature even
all over the building. and it is claimed
that the system uses less fuel than that of
stea heat.

False Economy.

False Economy.
One Ct the great evils OF American life
is the attempt TO believe that we are get
ting something for nothing" While this
is obviously fallacy, there are yet many
who persist in believing that money is
saved by the purchase of low-priced ar
ticle OF inferior quality because 1t will, to
certain extent, answer the purpose,
while better one that will do better SER
vice and is really worth double the money
expended, costs few dollars more.
In nothing else is this more clearly
proven than by the purchase of the low
priced Sewing Machines now flooding the
country, while the new "Davis" the hest
Machine In the market, only costs from
s. to $40 more

THE sATEmANs CO UNDER.
An unpropItIous New Years Begin
ming for a Prominent Firm.

NEW YORK, December 81. - The we'll
known banking and brokerage firm of A. E..
Bateman & Co., has failed. That the fail
ure was imminent was generally understood
in Wall street yesterday, for Walter Watson
nad it announced that he had withdrawn
from the firm and that he would no longer
be In any wise responsible for its transac-
tions or liabilities. 1t was late last hight be-
fore the particulars Of the trouble could be
learned. Then Mr.. Coon, a member of the
firm, said that the firm had made an assign
ment, and furthermore that Commodore
Bateman had made an individual assign
ment.
The assignment of the firm and also of the
senior member was precipitated by the fail
ure OF creditors upon whom they relied to
meet their obligations. 1t is believed that
the creditors of the firm are substantially
secu.ed and will lose nothing.
The assignment gives preferences to the
Fourth National Bank for S45. 1000, for loans
and advances; to Baldwin, Farnum e. Co.,
Chicago, $4,000, for money advanced as
margins. Mr.. Coon said today that the re-
ports that the liabilities were over $1,0000OO.
were grestly exaggerated. They would not
could not say what the amount would be.
He said the firm assigned in order to protect
themselves and their creditors. Mr.. Bate
man hal been largely interested in
securities which, IL thrown on the market
now, would have to be sacrificed. Ii these
securities could be held they would appreci-
ate In value. Not only would the property
erty. would be placed in the hands of the as
signee. Mr.. Coon thought that not only
would the creditors be paid in full A., but there
would be surplus.

At WAR AMID THE WARRING ELEMENTS
The Troops WaIiing for an Attack
While Blizzard Rages.
state Troops Ordered OUT to Protect
Women and Children.
Called Friendly Indians Probably
on the War Path.

OMAHA, Neb., December 3l.-The Bees
special from Rushville, Neb., says A
binding snow storm, fast assuming the pro-
portions Of blizzard. began falling here
and at the agency at o'clock this morning.
Advlces are desultory, but it Is known the
fight was kept up nearly all night at the late
battle ground, within a few miles Of the
agency. until. by reason of the suspicious ac-
tions of the alleged friendly Indians, in
camp near the agency, the troops were called
in from the field. 1t transpired late yester-
day evening that large camp of friendlies
located south of the agency, was made up al
most entirely of old men, squaws and chill
dren. The question is. what has become of
the supposedly large number of friendly
bucks located there until yesterday? A
half breed courier went through the camp
last night. He reports that nearly every
able bodied Indian had quietly slipped away
after dusk and joined the hostile forces. The
friendly Indians at Pine Ridge now, he says.
are principally squaws, and those not able to
fight. Up to eleven this morning, everything
was reported quiet, both sides resting on
their arms and each waiting for some move
from the opposite. That fighting will occur,
there seems to be no doubt. IL the Indians
shuld make an onslaught during the storm.
they would undoubtedly have great advan-
tage. The danger Is that they will now
break away to their strongholds in the Bad
Lands and be reinforced there by the Rose
bud, Standing Rock and other Indians.
Eight more dead soldiers were brought In to
the agency after dark last night They are
part of yesterdays fatalities. The losses to
the Indians are known TO be great. but def
mite numbers cannot be ascertained. Two
strangers were murdered within two miles
of the agency yesterday. They are believed
to be teamsters from Rushvile. Indian sig
nal lights were again plainly visible last
night in Bough county, twenty miles north.
