tural population will enjoy the

OF Telegraph Wires More

Associate Justice Brown Severely In.
jured at Washington By Falling
,tiasS.

PITTsBUKG, Oct i6 AS a result of
the fearful wind and rain storms, tele-
graphic or telephone communication
with New York, Washington and Bos-
ton is next to impossible. Wires from
the west were working after q fashion
as far east as the Alleghenies, but the
country on the further slope of the
mountains was cut off almost as though
1t had suddenly sunk into the sea. The
trouble with the wires began during
the day and gradually grew worse
through the night, being in a condi-
ton Of prostration said to be about
the most complete on record.
The only case approximating q parallel,
SO far, at least, as wire communication
is concerned. was the extraordinary
New York blizzard in which Roscoe
Conkling lost his life. The blizzard,
however, only affected a comparatively
small stretch of territory. Almost the
entire Atlantic coast is cut off and the
effects of the storm were felt over /, 100
miles inland.

Some of Tnem Forgetting the Lesson
of Wounded Knee.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. Oct. 16.-Sur-
veyor Gunderson. of Vermillion, who
has returned from a season on and
near the Rosebud reservation, reports
that the Sioux Indians, especially the
more hostile, have been on several de-
predatory excursions, and compelled
him and his men to stop work. He has
had charge of the United States sur
veys in that region for several years,
and says that while some bands OF In
dams have always harrassed and
threatened him, they are unusually
hostile this year. He says that they
have hampered him in his work, and
eventually their hostility became SO
pronounced that he was compelled
to leave. The Indians, he says,
live in camps near the reservation and
still follow the lawless lives of many
years ago., stealing cattle and horses,
and occasionally killing a settler.
This fall they are fully armed and are
indulging in the ghost dances, which
always leaves them in an excited and
turbulent frame of mind.
The Indians who are disposed to be
troublesome are but a small percentage
OF the Sioux Nation, as the bulk of the
Sioux rememb Der the lesson of Wounded
Knee. But still they manage to create
trouble whenever they have an oppor-
tunity.

his head cut by plate glass window
which was blown in at his residence
and came near bleeding to death before
medical assistance could be obtained to

Damage to police and fire alarm service
was greater than was ever known be-
fore. The city lay all night at the mercy
of a fire with a gale of unequalled
violence blowing. The tide ON the
river rose to an unprecedented height.
Considerable injury was done along the
wharves. Trees were blown down in
every direction and in some instances
delayed the traffic on the street rail-
roads for hours.

Thompson's Reprieve of Fifteen Days
Revoked by Governor Sheldon.
PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 16-Governor
Sheldon has sent a telegram to the
states attorney of Kingsbury county
revoking his 15-day reprieve to Thomp-
son, who was sentenced to hang last
Saturday. The reprieve was granted
on the affidavit of a physician who
claimed that he examined Thompson
preceding the murder and that he was
then insane. This physician now admits
that he was mistaken and that it was in
March that he examined him. At the
trial testimony was presented tending
to show that Thompson was insane in
March, hence this new testimony, and
it would now be impossible to get a
new trial. Thompson's attorney. who
secured the reprieve, admits his case is
now hopeless, and was the first one to
ask the governor to revoke his reprieve.
A new order of the court will now have
to be secured before Thompson can be
hanged.

early in the morning. At 4 o'clock
flames broke out in the main building

located on the shore of Lake Monona,
in the eastern part of the city. In

the one in which the fire started were
sleeping Al children who are inmates

had been up with q sick
child half an hour before, and had not
fallen asleep before he heard the crack
ling flames and rushed into the room
where he had previously struck
matches to find medicine. He found it
full of fire, and being unable to extin-
guish it with quilts gave the alarm and
devoted his efforts to arousing and re-
moving the children, all of whom were
gotten out safely but very sparcely at
tired. Hard work by the iremen con-
fined the fire in the stone building in
which it started. The loss is about
81, 500; fully insured.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Only the presence
Of mind of the officers and the discip-
line of the employers OF the whaleback
steamer Christopher Columbus pre-
vented a panic on the big excursion
boat. The steamer had made a trip to
Milwaukee with 1850 passengers on
board. On the return trip a heavy fog
enveloped the lake and later the seas
became SO heavy that the big
vessel rolled in the swell. Many be-
came sick and the extinguishing Of the
electric lights caused by a break in the
dynamo machinery intensified the
alarm. The officers succeeded in paci-
flying the passengers, however, and the
steamer arrived at the Van Buren,
street pier after a very stormy passage
of six hours. AT no time was there any
danger except from the possibility of a
collision with some other vessel in the
dense fog,
