The Hot Wave.

The hot wave which struck Annapolis
last Friday evening, has continued In in
tenslty with every preceding day and
does not seem 10 have reached its climax
yet. The heat of yesterday was almost
unbearable, and Talm-leaf fans, cooling
drinks and bathing pools were the only
relief for poor, sweltering humanity. The
sun had no mercy upon those who were
compelled to be upon the streets, and
poured down its rays with great power
from early morn until 1t went down be-
hind the Western horiZon-leaving the
atmosphere IL anything, more oppressive
than ever. People sat at their front
doors and walked the streets. many GO
ing on the bridge that spanned Spa creek.
while others stretched themselves out on
the grass on State House hill. and the
banks of the Spa in quest of breath OF
fresh air, but there was little relief. To
go In the house and attempt TO sleep was
out of the question, and a majority of
the inhabitants did little but fan all night
and dose In easy chairs or in swinging
hammocks under some shady trees. Ear
ly Yesterday morning the Thermometer
reached 97o-the highest it has attained
this year This morning there was a
slight change in the atmosphere, and a
pleasant breeze was stirring from the
southwest which made the heat of the
day before little more bearable; but
Notwithstanding. the thermometer regis
tered at 10 o clock 800 in the shade. All
kinds of linen wilted under its influence,
and nothing but neglegie shirt was in
keeping with the weather.

Deadwood, S. D., Special, Oct. "a
The reports which have gone through the
press the past week regarding q threat
ened outbreak among the Sioux Indians
of Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies have
aroused the entire southwestern portion
of South Dakota and Northern Nebraska
and worked a great injury to the mercan-
tile interests of these sections. 1t is I'M
possible to say what motive prompted the
erroneous reports, which came principally
from two men who have not visited the
reservations and are unacquainted with
the situation. Deputy United States Mar
shall Matthiesen arrived here to-day from
Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies, where
he has been among the Indians for W
weeks. He has jurisdiction over these
reservations, and is familiar with. the
Sioux and on friendly terms with them.
He says there is positively no truth IN
the reports that the Indians are prepar-
ing for ghost dancing and q subsequent
outbreak. They are perfectly satisfied,
receiving ample beef and other ratlons.
1t is untrue that they have sccreted ghost
shirts on The reservations. The Indians
have no arms, except q few half-breeds,
who are friendly with the whites. They
are separated in camps of $50, and forty
or fifty miles apart. Merchants in towns
adjacent to the reservations complain
that the recent reports have injured their
credits in the East.
