PEACE REIGNS THERE.
An Indian Legend Told By
Avery Ellis.

The editor is in receipt of a
long letter from Avery Ellis of
Red Bluffs, Montana, relative to
the resources of Gallatiu VAL
ley and the city of Bozman. He
very much regrets that its length
makes it necessary for him to
decline TO publish the entire
letter. However he extracts an
interesting Indian legend. for
which he begs to offer Mr.. Ellis
sincere thanks.
Mr.. Ellis is a Bollinger county
man. having been born near
Buchanan. He tells the legend
as follows: MANY years ago a
writer met John Richan, a half
breed, who was thoroughly at
qnainted with Indian character
and customs. He said that the
GalIatin Valley was regarded
by all Indian tribes as neutral
ground. and gave this explana-
ton:
Far back in the dim past a
large band Of Sioux Indians
were coming down into the val
| ley aud suddenly met an equal
ly large band to Uez Perces.
Both We're surprised for neither
had seen the other.
Being deadly enemies they
charged each other with fury.
Both fought courageously hop
ing to be victorious and capture
rich booty. Reinforcements
pressed to the front, now the
Souxs being victorious and now
the Uez Perces. Thus the bat
tie ragged for two days, and
many gallant warriors fell. Ex-
termination stared both bands
in the face, yet neither seemed
willing to yield.
The sun rose on the third day
with unusual brightness. Not
a cloud could be seen. Each
side seemed reluctant to renew
the contest. Finally the Uez
Perces advanced to the struggle
and they were bravely met.
Just as the lines closed in
deadly strife strange noise was
heard, appearing TO come from
the heavens. The contending
Warriors paused with bated
breath. Darkness had gradual
ly overspread the sun, and the
stars could be seen. The con
tending forces stood SPELL
bouud, terror stricken, amazed.
Each feared that some great ca
lamity was about to overtake
them, the result of some grea;
medicine" possessed by the
favored God of the other.
Darkness continued to settle
as if to Hide from view the aw-
ful SCENE.
Presently a sweet voice was
heard as if singing a beautiful
hymn. All eyes peered through
the darkness. A white flame
gradually became visible on
the top of the mountain (now
known as Mount Bridger). The
flame enlarged, floating toward
the bloody field. On it came,
clearing the thickeped atmos.
phere and finally settled around
the top of "Maiden's Rock.
Gradually the darkness dis
appeared until all was bright
and clear. The flame rose and
disclosed a figure of a maiden
standing on "Maiden's Rock"
She spoke in a strange tongue
yet all understood her, "War,
riors," said she, "Children of
the Great Spirit, listen to me.

The Lazy Yumss Creating Trouble on Their
Reservation in Arizona.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3O.-A serious
Indian outbreak is threatened on the
Yuma reservation in California.
Mignel, the deposed chief, with a
band of his tribe, is reported to have
attacked the reservation schoolhouse
1t is not known how serious the at.
tack was nor if any one was killed
This information was received at the
interior department by telegraph TO-
day from Indian Agent E. Studelow
OF the Yuma reservation. Secretary
Smith Immediately forwarded it to
the war department with the request
that troops be at once sent to the
scene of the outbreak.
The agent in his dispatch informed
the secretary of the interior that
Miguel has been accused of prevent
ing Indian children of the tribe of
which he was formerly chief from
attending school. the Yumas among
whom the trouble has arisen number
1000 Their reservation is in the
southwest corner of California on both
sides of the Colorado river, $50 miles
from Phoenix, Ariz. The schoolhouse
attacked is old Fort Yuma.
The Yumas are considered by the
Indian bureau of degraded and lazy
sort. They have always been noted
for friendly relations with the whites.
The nearest army post to the reserva-
tion Is Fort Grant, in Eastern Arizona.
1t would take 48 hours for soldiers to
reach the scene of trouble from that
point. The war department has
directed General Ruger at San Fran
cisco te send detachment of soldiers
to the Yuma Indian agency for the
purpose of quelling the outbreak
there.

THE NEW OIL MILL.

Every courtesy was shown the Wis

immense plant, and all the changes of

brought to the mill until the
oil is shipped away, being
shown and explained In detail. In an
article OF the length of this it is i'm

ner of the changes made by the COM
plicated machinery. After unloading
the seed is first run through q Inter,
thence through machine which
grinds up and presses into long, thin
cakes the product after having been
cleared of all extraneous matter. On
looking at one of the dry, hard cakes
thus formed 1t is almost impossible to
believe that oil can be drawn there
from until one has seen the work of
the powerful presses, four of which
were running to their capacity yes
terday. Each press is capable of
handling 15 tons of the seed
per day, thus making the
capacity of the mill go tons The mill
all the way through is complete In all
its details and is great acquisition
for Austin. The mill is now paying
$13 per ton for the seed, and 1t would
look as though all holders of the pro.
duct would be willing to dispose of it
at that price

They Give Their Reasons

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When
this remedy is taken as soon as cold
has been contracted and before 1t has
become settled in the system, it will
counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severeity, and 1t is
the only remedy that will do this. 1t
acts in perfect harmony with nature
and aids nature In relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions, liquefying the
mucns and causing Its expulsion from
the air cells of the lungs and restoring

Conflict Between the officials as to Propriety

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, Sept. 30.
"A more disagreeable day for cele-
bIation could not be imagined. The
sky was heavy, there was drizzling
raiE, and the cold ground was sticky
and flooded. 1t must have had dis
couraging effect on the crowds expect
ed here for Irish day. But while the
city was by no means deserted the
parade iu honor of the day was big
one, The principle feature of it was
the number of broad-shouldered,
brawny and athletic looking men not
only in the ranks of the Gaelic Athle-
tic associations, but also in the ranks
of all well drilled Irish military Or
ganizations that gave the necessary
military dignity to leading the col.
umns of the procession.
In the divisions that followed tn
militia were various Catholic civic So
cieties and literary organizations. Be-
hind them all in great decorated
tallyho coach were distinguished
guests of the day, the lord mayor of
Dublin and the lady mayoress, Ed
ward Blake of Canada, and Fitzgerald
of Boston.
The procession formed on Midway
Plaisance and marched through the
principal avenues of the grounds.
There was a flow of oratory in festival
hal later from such smooth .tongued
men as John f. Finnerty,
Edward Blake and Dublin's
lord mayor. VIII le the rain
pouring down this morning the Irish
flag on one of the flagstaffs on the
electricity building, where the colors
of all nations are grouped was pulled
down.
This is the sequel TO the diff renee
of opinion on the part of Millett and
Chief Barrett of the department of
electricity regar ding the propriety of
hosting the green flag Of Ireland on
their great day at the fair. Chief Bar
rett, impressed with a spirit of patri'
otism. had ordered the flagstrung up.
Millett was standing In his office
when the flag was run up and ordered
it down. Chief Barrett and his
men again rain up the colors.
Then Millett cut the halyards
and the flag again fell. Millett, who
is in supreme control of the color de-
psrtmeut, said it was standing rule
that the cOlcrs of a nation was not to
be run up unless that nation is recog-
niZad as nation by the exposition.
Chief Barrett carried the matter be-
tore the council of administration. A
meeting was Immediately called and

consul, did not ohjec to the Irish flag

fering with the raising OF the green

The financial situation is not so
alarming as many may make it appear.
1t is not to be denied that there are
some serious conditions surrounding
us. The failure Of the Pennsylvania
steel company, disaster as surprising
as it is unfortunate, has naturally SER
iously affected the confidence Of our
local business community, but this
will only be temporary.
Outside Of this city, this sudden
failure Of an organization long believ-
ed to be one of the most substantial
in the country has had a depressing
effect in commercial circles. But the
real danger in the financial situation
is the demand for gold and the exist
ing doubt as to the ability of the gov
ernment to meet its current obliga-
tions by gold payments. The fear
that the national currency will be de-
preciated has disturbed borrowers and
lenders, sellers and buyers. Bankers
have become distrustful. The money
centres are trembling under a name

But much of this alarm comes from
causes imaginary rather than real. In
