Al II AGAIN.
Revival of the Messiah Craze
Among the Indians.
The Ghost Dance Going on at
a Lively Rate.

The DeIuded Cheyennes and Arapahoes
Declare They VIII Keep 1t Up Until tho
| Arrival of the Messiah--The Excite-
ment Spreading-Are We About to
Have Another Indian War?
GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. IA courier
from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reser-
vation states that the Messiah craze has
broken out anew among the Indians
there. Left Hand, head chief of the
Arapahoes, and Old Crow and Whirl-
wind, chiefs of the Cheyennes, have
gathered 1000 Indians about them
among the interior hills, and for many
days and nights have kept the dance up
continually, declaring that they win not
stop until the Savior arrives.
While it is quiet enough near the
reservation buildings, dancing has been
going on among the hills for several
days, and the craze is apparently spread
ing. At first the gathering was small,
but Indians have been streaming into
the camp until now there are from 900
to 1900 present. They declare that the
Messiah who is to expel the whites,
bring back the buffalo and restore their
hunting grounds to the Indians, is soon
coming. INA
Runners have come in from Walker'sN
Lake, New, melting the Indians to act
ivity and predicting the early appear
ance of the Messiah The ghost-dance
goes on day and night, the Indians being
divided into relays, one party relieving
another as the fatigue overcomes them.
All are provided with ghost-shirts, and
seem terribly in earnest. Scouts report
that wild whoops and yells can be heard
at all hours of the day and night from
the hills where the tribes have gathered.
AS yet the excitement has not reached
the Comanches, but it is feared that
they, too, may become involved. This
is regarded as a serious danger, as the
Comanches have an ample supply Of
ponies, in which the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes are deficient All are well
armed with Winchesters and revolvers.
The officers of most experience in Indian
warfare are not inclined to believe that
any serious outbreak will occur at pres,
est, as the Indians have a horror of
winter campaigns, but the excitement
may cause them to depart from their
usual practice of making war only
when there is plenty of grass for their
ponies.

Where railway company enters upon

company may be elected from the

owners right of action is not impaired

titled to have his compensation in dam

A. j. Burrus, residing at 3S7 Robert
street, went out to Wildwood, White
Bear Lake, Thursday afternoon, and
about ESQ rented row boat and started
out fishing. He did not return that
evening nor yet the next morning. Yes
terday forenoon the sons of Mrs. Will
lams, residing OH the peninsula, dis
covereda boat floating near the dock,
Keel up. On bringing it to shore they
found the minnow and frog pals and Il
coat. caught under one of the seats.
Papers in the pocketbook found in the
coat bore the name corresponding with
that given when the boat was hired.
The boys took the papers and pocket
book to the address given. 3S7 Robert
street, and delivered them to Mrs. Bur
rus sister. Burrus had not been at
home and his sister and brother at once
left for the lake. Then they learned
that the man had been seen standing up
i'll the boat fishing and had seemed to
be moving about very awkwardly. The
presumption is that the boat was
capsized, and Burrus. being unable
to swim, was drowned. No body has
been found, and the whole affair is mys-
FERROUS. The bOatman at Wildwood says
that Burrus was frequent visitor, and
consequently was not required to pay In
advance. The finding of the coat would
refute the theory that he had left the
boat on the lake TO avoid payment.

engaged in the lumber business. He

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.
DR.. Hoyt's Inquiries as 30 the Sys-
tenn AGOnteu in Ciiica0O

DIR. Hoyt's Inquiries as 10 the Sys--
tenn Adopted in Chicago.
Health Commissioner Hoyt, who has
been OH visit to Chicago, had an inter-
view with Health Commissioner Ware,
of that city, regarding the garbage
problem. The Chicago health commits
sioner said that the council of that city
has just passed resolutions providing
tor the disposal of garbage by
cremation or reduction. In some
parts of the city the work
of collecting the garbage was done by
the city, and in other districts the work
was done by contract. The main OBJ
lection to the contract system in Chica-
90 had been that contractors would bid
to do the work for one-third or one-half
the cost, and, after securing the con-
tract, would sell to some outsider, MAX
Ing $1,000 without any eXertion. In
consequence, the work was only done
about half, and the city was the loser.
For this reason contractors who bid the
lowest did not always get the contracts
now, as the work was awarded to the
person who, while responsible, agreed
to do the work at about what the cost
would be TO do it well.
In this connection Dir. Hoyt said he
could not understand the action of the
council in regard to the garbage matters.
At the meeting of the special committee
on garbage report was unanimously
adopted favoring the contract system
and directing the clerk to advertise for
bids under the specifications drawn up
by the health department. At the meet
ings of the board of aldermen and as
sembly following the committee meet
all the members of the committee voted
against the contract system and ordered
an ordinance drawn for the removal of
garbage by licensed scavengers.

Under its charter the plaintiff made

and in consideration of such improve

collect tolls. Held that the plaintiff
was not only Obliged to construct but

appeared that the defendants logs
were swept down the river by violent

before the arrival of the logs certain

The leaders OF the various factions of
the local Republican party worked hard
all day yesterday in spite of the heat,
and tickets have been fixed up in all the
wards that will be contested. The Ives
men devoted great deal of time to the
Third ward, and this evening will at
tempt to defeat the "kids" in that most
famous of the Republican '.rotten bor-
oughS." Here the McGill men will be-
lead byex-Representative ii. l.. Will
Jams, who has taken into the fold George
Lamb, S. Lowenstein, "Shelr' Blakely
and John e. Haniey. Inasmuch as Mr..
Williams has come to be considered the
leader of that side. his defect, which is
counted upon by the Ives men, would
be pretty hard blow.
LII the. Fourth ward the McGill and
Ives men have evidently patched up a
truce, as only one ticket has made its
appearance up to the present, and rep
resentatlves OF both of these parties are
known'to be on it as candidates for dele
gates. Henry Johns, who has been
Keeping his preferences carefully con-
cealed from the public. bobs up serenely
at the head OF this ticket. The name of
ID. f. Reese is missing, and unless he
pulls in from the Second ward. he will
miss chance to talk in the convention
Monday. The Fourth ward "conIpro-
misc ticket, as distributed yesterday, is
as follows:
Henry Johns, Charles L. Horst Maj E.. D.
Lbbey, j. &. Ingham, Edward Dieter. c. c.
Berg, p. V. Brown, Z. L. Larpenteur. N. L.
Sshlnn. Joseph Hahn, Patrick Butler, Lathrop
Mussetter. j. @. Adams, George Schiller,
Frank 5. Ratell.
In the Second ward vigorous con-
test is on, and it looks to man led
tree as though the men who are work
ing at the harvester works viii decide
the contest in favor of Representative
Ames and Chairman Zollman. The poll
ing places are there miles apart, and the
one at Hazel Park seems to have been
established for the purpose of allowing
the harvester works men to control the
ward. Judge Tom Conroy and the other
McGlll NEIL undoubtedly have good
majority of the Republicans of the ward
with them, but the trouble will be to get
them out. The forces of the opposition,
whether residents or Republicans, will
be voted as they start home from their
work.
Yesterday was Gov. Ives day in
the outside counties and he carried off
sixteen votes, eight from Mcleod and
eight from Sibley. Mower county held
Its convention, and while no instrnc-
tons were given, the ten delegates are
understood to be divided in their prefer
ences between McGill and Ives.
Whether this will have any effect on
the remaining counties is doubtful, and
within few hours enough Nelson dele
gates will have been elected to assure
his nomination.
