Sing a song OF Democrats,
Mostly full of rye,
Going down to Washington
Feeling pretty fly.
But when congress opened
What a lively muss,
Every mothers son of them
Began to kick and cuss.

Acting very funny,
Hill in the pantry
Eating bread and honey.
Mills in the back yard
Hanging out the clothes,
Along came "a Crisp breeze

LOOKING FOR THE MESSIAH.
Fears Of Another Outbreak by the Pine Ridge
indians.

OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. ll.--Dr. V. Il. Me-
Gillicuddy of Rapid City, s. D., well known
as one of the best posted men in the coun
try on Indian matters. is in Omaha, having
Just come from the Pine Ridge Agency.
Talking to Bee reporter. he said
II don't wish to pose as an alarInst. but
the situation at Pine Ridge is not at all
satisfactory just at present, and there is no
immediate prospect of It's improving. The
Indians are sulen. and in many ways show
resentful feeling, and unless something is
done to counteract this. there is danger of
trouble next spring
The Messiah spirit is not dead, and the
whites must not depend on the statement
that the Indians are no longer considering
the promise made by Sitting Bull and
other medicine men who led the trouble
two years ago. While there is no open
dancing there is quiet discussion Of the
subject. and the fact that the promise was
that the Messiah would come after two
springs. which would bring the time in the
spring of 1898. is being carefully kept in
mind by the Indians. The government
recently paid the Indians at tine
Pine Ridge 50 900, and this is used
as an argument that the Great Father fears
is red sons, else why should he seek TO
bnv them of. Then the return from Fort
sheridan of Short Bull and Kicking Bear
added another disturbing element TO the al
ready deeply stirred state of affairs al Pine
Ridge.
The most significant thing is the fact
there has been communication between the
various tribes of secret and apparently i'm
portani nature during the summer. There
Is line of communication well established
and constantly used between the Indian
Territory and British America, and the In
dians ali along the line understand each
other,

FATHER OF THE DALTON BOYS.
Ne Talks About His Outiawed Sons Who Were
Killed Last Week.

PutBLu, Col, Oct. ll.-Byron \. Dal-
ton of Independence, Kan, has arrived in
Pueblo to visit his married daughter. Mr..
Dalton is the father of the Dalton boys.
who were killed last week while attempting
to rob the banks AT Coifcyville, Kan.
My daughter" said Mr.. Dalton, sis one
of the best of women, and had been able
to control the boys they would
have kept in the straight path.
Novel reading and the work of
on the family. | don't care to talk much
about the killing of the boys, yet | will say
that do not think they had fair show
You can understand fathers feelings.
The boys had not been straight since the
Younger and James brothers went crooked
NV oldest sons were always steady and in
dustrious but the other boys took to bad
ways. They would not 90 to school, would
not work, and Jagged at anything that
seemed to be honest. Mother and | tried
to keep them straight but it is the judg-
ment of heaven that has fallen on them.
They were temperate but they desired Il life
of luxury, and would not secure il honestly
II cannot say whether they hid any
money. They have taken much but spent
more. don't know why they went to
Coffeyville unless they had a grudge against
the place. My sons had many enemies in
that town, / wish you would say that the
Dalton boys, outlaws though they were,
were good to their parents. If mother and
| needed anything they gave it to us. They
were not towards. My heart is broken and
so is mothers. You cant expect us to give
up parents love for a son. My boys did
wrong, but they have passed beyond this
range and Gods will be done.
Mr.. Dalton IS plainly dressed, gray
bearded man, and his face shows care.

ICE IN SALMON COUlEE.
Discovery Made by Railroad Builders in
Washington.

SEATTLE, WASH. Oct. ll.--Somc inter
esting natural curiosities are found in the
construction of the Great Northern Rail
road through the Big Bend of the Columbia
river in Eastern Washington The region
is a plateau of basaltc rock in which the
river has worn three channels. The river
now flows in the most westerly of these.
The others have dried up except for some
salt lakes in the Grand Coulee.
These coulees have perpendicular walls
of rock 1000 to 1900 feet high. There is
an opening about the middle of the Grand
Coulee where the walls are broken, 50 that
road cuts through, and here is Coulee
City The Big Bend country is excessively
dry except in the spring, when the melting
snow moistens its surface. Thus this great
bed of lava has remained unexplored until
this army of iaborers began to dig and blast
and spy out secrets which the Indians have
held for generations.
One day in midsummer X. W. Helm,
who was working in Salmon Coulce. "A
branch of Moses Coulee, was astonished by
the approach of an Indian with consider
able quantity of ice rolled up in blanket
which he offered for sale. He bought it
and then followed the Indians trail back
into the coulee. 4 search disclosed cold
stream trickling through the shcllrock, and
further up the ice beds were found. They
were formed among the masses of she'll
rock by the melting of snow in winter, the
water running down among the rocks and
freezing at night. Ice remains there per-
pctually and in large quantities. The most
singular feature is that the spot is only 800
feet above the sea and the sun beats with
intense heat upon the rocks above the ice.
which Is also exposed to warm draughts of
air through the creyices, yet it never melts.

TO OVERHAUL THE PEAcEMAkeR.
Her Owner Mas Faith in the Old Torpedo
Boats Efficiency.

BRookLrS, Oct. Il.-The old torpedo
boat Peacemaker has been taken out of the
water at the foot of Twenty sixth street,
Brooklyn. and is to he thoroughly over
hauled.
She is 80 feet long, tapers to point at
each end. and is designed to work entirely
under water Gas. evolved from caustic
soda, is the motive power, while the course
of the boat is regulated by big fans attached
to the outer shell.
There is glass arrangement in the upper
keel by which the steersman can regulate
his course. The idea is to use her as a
ram and destroy the hull of hastiie or
vessel or carry and place torpedoes that
will do the work.
The Peacemaker belongs to c. u. Shep-
ard of this city, who bought her from the
original designer. a man named Holland.
He has great faith in the success of the
principles involved in her construction. and
his object in having her fitted ont at this
time is to bring her to the attention of the
federal government and have her tested as
war vessel.
