artillery men here would 80 joyfuily put in

There is but little OF that which might be
termed attractive scenery in the vicinage of the
agency, and that little is all visible from Fort

little valley in which the hostiles we're encamped

Nothing in all this campaign has done more to
surprise the Indian and to upset his ideas of the
white race than the careful attention which
has been given those Indians who were injured
in the fight at Wounded Knee. As much has
been done for these as for the soldiers who are
being treated in the division hospital, and
great many of the Indians evidently regard as
a mystery the dual nature Of civilized man-the
nature which fires bullet or half dozen OF
them, into an Indian anatomy and then does Its

When the noble red man shoots fellow-being
and fails to kill him on the first attempt he
shoots him again and continues to shoot until
his victim is satisfactorily dead. This is the
regular practice. without regard to race. sex or
previous condition, and Its reversal by the
white soldiers is good deal of an enigma to
the aboriginal mind.

1t is a plain-looking structure this Episco-
pal Church, now the Indian hospital. In it's

place the smell, or rather the combination of
smells, was simply awful. and to a great many
people 1t was overpowering. This, for time,
was unavoidable, but relentless application

and dispersed odors as far as such Improvement
and dispersion are possible.
STRANGE AND soRRowFUL SIGHT.
The sight was strange and sorrowful one.
Festooned from ceiling and wall we're the
evergreen decorations that denoted celebra-
ton of the birth of Him who brought peace on
earth. good will to man. Wreaths and crosses
OF the deep olive tints were appropriately
placed, and everything on the eyes level and
above 1t was indicative of the festal season. The
fading rays OF daylight shot through the room
when the door was thrown back and lit up the
old gold and jeweled Gothic window behind the
altar-the altar covered with "A white cloth-and
glinted on the large gilt cross which occupied
the center OF the holy OF holes. Below the
level OF the decorations was as heartrending
congregation of pain and human misery as
ever tortured a sympathetic heart. The floor
was thickly strewn with hay (since
removed because of the danger of
fire. and on this rough beds had
been hastily placed, ranged with their heads
to the wall. On these beds were wounded
Misunderstanding relics of that fearful fight at
Wounded Knee. Some were asleep. one or two
were shrleking in a manner that denoted the
most intense agony, here and there was vic
tim whose stoicism would not permit him to
cry aloud, but weak nature would occasionally
moan. OF the thirty that had been brought in
after the strife and the blizzard ten had gone
to the happy hunting grounds they had so
often heard Of. Nearly all of the dead and
wounded were Minnecongues from the Chey-
enne River agency and every one of them were
members of Big Foot's band.
SOME OF THE SUFFERERS.
Nearest the door on the southern side was
warrior of about thirty years of age, who had
been shot through both feet He was in that
almost unconscious condition that numbs pain,
utterly oblivious of his sufferings and sur
roundings. In low tones he was chanting a
Dakota love song-a memory of happier days
and he was undoubtedly living for a while in
the past. No pain could bring a sound from
his lips. Alongside of him lay an eleven-year-
old boy. shot through the leg. He was cult
waiting the Indian quality of silence under
difficulties, but he was succeeding admirably.
When the pain was not too severe there was
pleasant light in his bright black eyes.

THE HOSPITAL FORCE.
The working force is ample. Capt II. s.

Massachusetts lady and engaged to be married
to DIR. Eastman; Rev. C. s. Cook. half-blood
Yankton; his wife, a New Englander: Miss Shep-
herd. a trained nurse from Sioux Falls and a
number of half-breed men and women.
Several Of the Indians who died of their
wounds might have recovered had they con-
sented to amputations. The Indian prefers to
die rather than lose an arm or a leg. He
doesn't like white mans medicine and he OBJ
jects strenuously to the application of iodo-
form because it smells somewhat loud,
which goes to prove that although the Indian
may be somewhat. superstltious his nasal
organs are in good working order. G. H. H.

THE HOSPITAL FORCE.
A CuriO in Hardware,

In the window of a Washington store is a
train of cars drawn by locomotive-the whole
affair made up from articles in the stock
To begin with. the boiler of the engine is a
roll of emery cloth with brass dog collars for
bands, the COW catcher being composed of
large spikes, and pulleys and rollers serving
for wheels. A Irvine cup forms the top of the
smoke stack and the head light is an ordinary
dark lantern. The smoke is represented APP
propriately by cotton waste, which is used for
rubbing off machinery and which has the
pleasing property of going off on slight provo
cation by spontaneous combustion.
The bed of this miniature railway is made of
nails with large spikes for ties. while the rails
themselves are of the brass sort used for sliding
doors. Alongside is q telegraph line. with
posts made out of big augers, with carpenters
chalk lines for wires. For fuel the tender is
freighted with screws, bolts and nuts, the
cars following behind with loads of mechanics
tools and all sorts Of other things sold in the
store.

repeated when the story Of a desperate en-
gagement began to find circulation. Just then

signs of restiveness and many of them moved
their tepees from Wolf creek to White Clay

Soon we began to hear that there had been an
awful fight with Big Foots band up on Wounded
Knee. The story was of Indian origin, for it
stated that all of the band but four had been
dlsarmed when the troops commenced firing

OVER THE HILL TO THE HOSPITAL.
''The facts in the case were not made known
until IL o'clock that night, when wagons
loaded down with Dead dying and wounded
came over the hill into our midst. Did we
have too much hospital then? / should say
not. Oh, it was bloody scene. Everything in
and around the wagons was drenched with the
CORY fluid. The groans of the wounded became
shrieks as they were removed to the cots which
had caused so much mcrriment. Twenty-nine
dead bodies-twenty-eigh white, one that of
an Indian scout-were stretched out in this
yard, while forty-iive more or less severely

THE CHAPLAIN NOT on HAND.
Sunday was remarkably quiet here. Under
ordinary circumstances there would have been
at least three religious services in the morning,
but yesterday there was only one-that of the
Roman Catholic church. The Episcopalians
gave up their place of worship to the wounded
Indians. The Presbyterian minister is away.

aggregation of United States troops that has been

1000 souls-and there is yet not chaplain in the
entire outfit. Every other branch Of the serv-
ice is fully represented except the religious
branch. Incidentally it may be remarked that
no one has made inquiry ITO the whereabouts
of the half dozen chaplains who ought to be
here. 1t is deplorably true that they are not
missed by the soldiers

The aggregation of medical and surgical
talent at this place is remarkable. No matter
where you go there are doctors, and it is joe
ularly current in camp that there are more

now. but if the redskins make another break
we may need more attention than even the
large force now on duty can give. At the head
of this organized band of healers is Lieut.. Col

of the division Of the Missouri III the field.

If music really hath charms to soothe the
savage breast it has good chance to operate
at Pine Ridge, and if the savage breast is not
soothed then the blame cannot be laid upon
the shoulders OF either the musicians or the
savages. Every day twenty of the former turn

Angel Island. Cal. for service in South Dakota

tory of Pine Ridge the strains of martial music
evolved from civilized instruments have been
heard, and it would be difficult to determine
whether the agency employees or the Indians
are most delighted. Every day at o'clock the
band gives a concert on the parade ground in
front of division headquarters. The program
is generally good one and it is al
ways well rendered. Sunday the crowd
of listeners was larger than usual

tunes OF many soldiers and civilians as COM
