INDIAN TROUBLE SERIOUS.
A United States Officer Says an Outbreak

VIII Occur In the Spring.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Feb. IA United
States officer from, the Black Hills
country is in the city. He says the
report of the late troubles at Pine
Ridge have been edited and colored
by Agent Brown to suit his purpose
and that the trouble is really very
serious. Dancing is going on all over
the reservation, he says, and the four
cowboys were killed as result of it.
The cold weather alone prevents an
outbreak, which is almost certain to
occur in the spring. The settlers are
alarmed and want troops placed on the
reservation at once.

British lion! Alone / dare him. l taunt
that lion. / tell that lion that, freedoms

seize his jaw ne rolls a corpse before me!'
This sort of thing which is very funny TO
an Englishman, has, nevertheless, always
been relied on to have it's effect in any con-
troversy between political parties in this
country, and from the manner in which
have been assailed, for daring to criticise
or denounce corruption and bad govern
ment here, having been born in England,
shows that the same jealousy or England
is still believed to exist During the whole
range of the tariff discussion there mas mas
been no more potent argument against free
trade than that il was English, and on that
account, if no other, ought to be rejected
by the people of this country. the slave
holders before the war advanced the same
reason against the abolition of slavery, ana,
in fact, to such an extent was TINS preJudlce
worked upon that the aboitioniStS in Eng
land could give little aid to those in this
country, their active participation being
more detriment than help to the cause
they had at heart. In the same manner the
free-silver agitatorS of to-day say that the
adoption of gold standard is a SerVie fol-
lowing of British policy, and that if we
have a dollar worth one hundred cents
America will again become practically
dependency of Great Britain 1t is strange
to have any effect. ley are not expected

WOrId's Fair Has Proven a Big Drain
lpon Indinnnpolis.

Merchants. both wholesale and retail. of
this city, seem to be just learning the fact
that the business of Indianapolis has suf-
fered seriously through the worlds fair.
In May and June 1t had but little effect on
the business of this city. but since July 1
there has been a steady drain of money
from this city and its immediate territory.
Careful estimates show that during the last
nirety days an average of one thousand
persons have gone from this city and the
territory which draws its supplies from
here TO the worlds fair. and it is making q
low estimate TO say that each one of these
individuals. in paying fare and other ex-
penses, used so, making a drain on In
dianapolis of $4,000 day. II Is admitted
by railroad men generally that, according
to the population OF Marion county, more
people have gone TO Chicago than from any
other railroad point In order to go many
saved every dollar possible until they Sc
cured enough, and then came back from the
fair broke" and more than might be i'm
agined borrowed the money TO 60, and thus
the person who lent the monsy must stint
himself. doing without many of the luxu-
ries he usually enjoys. When summed up
IL has BEEN a very expensive affair for the
city OF Indianapolis. affecting nearly all
branches of business, draining an immense
sum OF money which. but for this outlet
would have gone into circulation here.

IMPROVING STEADILY
Indianapolis Lines Continue to
Show Gains in Freight Traffic.
Nearly Two Thousand More Loaded
Cars Handled Last Week Than in
the First Week of October.

The freight men are in excellent spirits.
The worlds fair is at its close, and, with
this, each week shows a healthy increase
in business. The improvement is general in
character. The train records show that in
the week ending Oct % there were 57S
more loaded cars received and forwarded
at India. napolis than in the week ending
Oct. q, and nearly two thousand more than
in the first week of October, and as the
business, as shown by the billing, is car
ried at tariff rates, the earnings Of the
last week of October, when they come in,
will show better results than has any
week in the last four months. The increase
in east-bound traffic is by no means as
marked as in west-bound business. The
east-bound movement of grain is not up to
expecta don, which is chargeabe to higher
prices for the cereals. Strange as it may
seem, whenever prices have an advancing
tendency shipments of grain, for the time
being, fall off until the markets become
adjusted. WeSt-bOund business is now heav-
Ter than at any time for months, and, in
fact, heavier than in the corresponding
week of 1892. This remark Will apply to
both high and low-class freights, and is
easily accounted for: First, merchants have
been slow in making their purchases of
goods In the East, and goods are now COM
ing in which. under good times, would have
been purchased sixty days earlier then, at
the present time, there is a heavy west
bound movement of anthracite coal and
coke traffic. which is usually shipped in
the late summer or early fall. Last week
the Pennsylvania lines, Indianapolis di-
vision, brought in 207 carloads of hard coal.
and the Big Four fully as many. Local
business is still light, although improving;
1T is fully 80 per cent. lighter than at the
corresponding period last year. AS the sea-
son becomes more winterlike freight men
are anticipating an increased business. Be-
low is given the number of cars received
and forwarded at this point for the week
ending Oct 2S as compared with the cor
responding week of the two preceding

CHICAGO Oct. 2S.-Two weeks from next
Tuesday. had Carter H. Harrison lived for
that brief period, he would have taken TO
himself a third wife, in the person of Miss
Annie Howard, of New Orleans. 1t is less
than two months since his engagement to
the only daughter of the late Crescent City
millionaire and king of the Louisiana lot
terry, was made public. AT first the report
was received with incredulity and even
his closest friends were lcath to believe that
I'm view of his advancing years and especi-
ally of his statements after the death of his
second wife, that the city of Chicago would
be his only bride-that he contemplated
again entering the matrimonial state When
questioned on the subject the Mayor was at
first inclined to be reticent, and made jo-
cose replies TO his interrogators. but finally,
when concealment was no longer possible,
he owned up TO the soft impeachment with
power of love even over grey headed men.
and to some OF his questioners put the
pointed question as to whether they did
not think he would make pretty vigorous
bridegroom for man OF his age. What
this age was he would not definitely say.
and some amusement was created among
old residents by his suggestion that he had
yet TO round his sixtieth year AT this time
the prospective bride was the guest of
come local relatives residing on the south
side of the city, about half way to the
worlds fair grounds. and it was the daily
visits of the Mayor TO this residence that
gave the color 10 the first reports of his
enhancement. At this time definite date
had been fixed for the wedding.

Mayor Harrison had enjoyed for years.
The wedding dejeuner was to have been on
a scale of unprecedented magnificence even
for the prairie city, where expenditure is
secondary in high society matrimonial
functions. and a special train had been
CHARTERED for the accommodation OF the dis
tinguished bridegroom. the members of his
family and his most intimate friends. This
was the Mayors share in the preparations.

A DEMORA.iZED MARKET.
Tariff Uncertainty Has played Hob
with the Trnde in Wool

Wool dealers say that the market was
never more demoraliZed than at the pres
ent time. About so per cent. of last springs
clip Is in the hands OF the farmers or small
buyers over the State, and they are still
holding. looking for better prices being one
reason. and the fact that the large dealers
are not anxious TO buy IL being the other
cause. Manufacturers all over the country
buy only what wool they want. consequent
~ the Western dealer finds il difficult to
dispose OF his wool in Eastern markets
when he gets it. Like indianapolis wooden
goods manufacturers, they want wool at
even the present low prices only as orders
come In. None have any thought of putting
wool on the shelves I'm goods for the reason
that IL is cheap. 1t * stated that when
manufacturers get orders they Immediately
go on 10 the market. and get only the guam
THY of wool they need to ill such orders.
None think of stocking up ahead. as they
used TO. when the production exceeded the
orders from day TO day. ON the other hand
there is "A class of dealers who have a good
supply or money that prefer to hold on 10
their wool. believing that business will
soon take a good start, and their holdings
would then become more valuable They
are very confident thar the article will not
