A New Game.

The Woodland Mail describes a
new game which can be played dur
ing the coming long winter evenings.
1t can be engaged in by any number
of persons and if properly playe d
is productive of much merrimsnt to
at least one of the players. The new
game is called the Editors Delight"
and is played in this wise:
Take sheet of ordinary writing
paper, fold carefully and enclose a
bank note sufficiently large enough
to pay up all arrears and one year in
advance. What adds immensely to
the pleasures of the game is to send
along the name of new subscriber
or two, accompanied by cash. Keep
an eve on the Editor, and If a smile
adorns his face the trick works like q
charm. Now is the time to play the
trick as the year is drawing to close
DELINQUENT subscribers are earnestly
requested to take a hand" In this
novel and interesting game. 1t is
easily learned, and is played often IN
our most respectable families. As
noted above ''now is the time TO play

Winter is Here.

The month of December opens
with rain and snow, and ice is form
ing on ponds a little thicker each
night, and good supply of hay is
stored away in the barn of the hon
est granger to feed his stock.
There is hardly any possibility of
an extensively hard Winter, but
heavy rains are predicted for two
months ahead.
We can comfortably dispense with
snow if the rain stands in with us,
as it takes II inches of the beautiful
to make one inch of water, and in
process of melting considerable
evaporation takes place; thus two
inches of rain soaking into the soft
ground is better than two feet of
snow on frozen sell.
The pasture has got to produce
heavily this coming year, as more
crear.eries will be started in various
parts of the State, and each will
require thousands of gallons of milk
to meet the Coast demand for butter
which is daily increasing through the
introduction of the Carson Valley
Creamery butter by the Kaupisch
Bros.
Cattle will be imported from diff
ferent States, and if we don't get
free coinage, the State has got to
turn to agriculture.

WAsaINGT0N, Dec. 3l.-Superintend
ent of the census Porter has submitted
to the secretary of the interior report
Of the operations of the bureau for the
six mouths ended to-day. On the subject
of the apportionment of representatives
inScongress, MI Porter says:
Il have also the honor to cali your
attention to the fact that the appOrtiOn-
ment of representatives in congress was
not delayed moment by the failure of
the census Office to have the official
returns of the population ready on
the convening Of congress. ii
the apportionment bill which has
passed the house of representatives
should pass the senate and become &
law the appointment under the eleventh
census would be about two years earlier
in time than any heretofore made"
On the subject Of farms, homes and
mortgages, etc, Mr.. Porter said:
"The work accomplished by this di-
vision up to date may be briefly stated
as follows: Number of counties IL
which complete abstracts have been
made 2,775: number of counties IN
which abstracting is unfished, Z; tOtaj
number of counties in the United
States, 2,672; supplemental work

cages for which abstracts are yet to be
made in counties that are not to be re-

mortgaged. While the facts obtained
by this investigation will throw new
light upon the subject of mortgage in

bids fair to be far more complete and

fully reach my original estimate OF 81.

RED CLOUD HOSTILE.
The Old Man Forced to Leave the
FriendiieS.


RUSHvILLE, Neb., Dec. 31.-The
Omaha Bee. correspondent ssys: Fears
are expressed in the advices this morn
ing and have been realized. Chief Two
Strike and a large body of followers
left the agency during the day and
started either for the Bad Lands or
point near Rosebud agency. 1t is not
definitely known which. Word has
been sent to the commander
of the troops at Rosebud to
try and intercept the band. Other de-
fectIons are momentarily expected, so
much so that one well up in authority
says that by morning he does not expect
to see a single hostileremaining at Pine
Ridge. That includes row nearly every
able-bodied Indian except the police,
some Cheyenne5 and scouts. Red Cloud
and ali the lesser chiefs except Amer
lean Horse have joined their brethren
for the last great fight. A binding
snow storm which is fast assuming the
proportions Of a blizzard has been raging
here and at the agency since Q o'clock
this morning. Advices are that
desultory fight was kept up nearly all
the night at the late battle-ground
within a few miles OF the agency
until, by reason OF the suspicious
actions Of the alleged friendly Indians
in camp near the agency, troops were
called from the field. 1t transpired
yesterday evening that a large camp of
friendly Indians, located south Of tine
agency, is made up almost entirely OF
old men, sQuaws and children. The
question on every hand is what has be-
come of the supposedly large number of
friendly bucks located here until yes
terday? A half-breed courier who was
through that camp last night reports
that nearly every able-bodied Indian in
this friendly outfit had slipped away
after dusk and joined the hostile forces.
Friendly Indians at Pine Ridge now, he
says, are principally squaws and those
not able to fight. Up to II O'Clock this
morning, however, everything is re-
ported as being quiet, both sides
resting on their arms and
each awaiting some move from opposing
forces. That further desperate fighting
will occur there seems no doubt.
If the Indians should onslaught dur
ing this storm they would have great
advantage, as they are in their element
at such time and used to hard
ships, while soldiers are not.
Though of course every hour
delay is of disadvantage to the Indians
on account of rations. there is danger
that they win now break away to a
stronghold in the Bad Lands and will
be reinforced by Rosebud, Standing
Rock and other Indians. Eight more
dead soldiers were brought into the
agency after dark last night, be-
ing part OF yesterdays killed. The
losses to Indians are known to have
been great, but definite numbers are
not as yet ascertained. The two Stran-
gers found murdered within two miles
of the agency yesterday are now be-
leved to be teamsters from Nashville.
Indian signal lights were again plainly
visible last night in country twenty
miles north.

Lieut.. Benham, commanding the In

shoot fire arrows and burn all they
could and then make their escape. Fol
lowing On the events of the two pre-
yious days this report had the eff
feet of causing a veritable panic among
the inhabitants. PandemOnlum reigned
supreme for two hours. Every living
thing seemed infected Women and
children waiting, hundred mules bray
ing. horses neighing and dog fights
galore. 1t is enough to say that never
such night was passed in Pine Ridge
Happily the rumOr proved incorrect,
though about the hour named body of
nearly 100 appeared upon the hill, fred
a few shops and then retired. The
list Of dead was augmented to-day by
that OF. Private Shettie, of G troop, Sew

total of thirty-fve fatalities for the two
battles. ForJy-One seriously wounded
are in the imprOyiSed hospital at the
