"reminiscences Of Early Days in the
DakOtas.
BY A. L. Van Osdel, Late Private in Co
H 1st Minnesota Mounted
Rangers.

This charming series of articles
have been running in THE STAR for
the past year. The previous chapters
were largely taken up by sketches of
the early settlement of South Dakota.
but beginning with the Indian outbreak
IN Minnesota full account of the
battles at Fort Ridgly and the siege
OF Fort Abercrombic. The future
chapters will be full of interest. Mr..
VanOsdel was personal actor in the
scenes depicted and was one of the
guards stationed around the scaffold
when the Sioux murderers were hanged
at Mankato.)

return to Col.
Sibley and his
command, wh~.a
we left on the 4th
! It September at
Fort Ridgely, in
tie Minnesotain
valley. When his
re -inforcemen rs
came to the re-

lief of toe unfortunate detachment under Captains
Grant and Anderson, and raised the siege at their
Birch Coulie encampment. The Indians withdrew
their forces and hastily retreaed up the Minnesota
river to Yellow Medicine their upper agency.
Owing to their rapid movement the soldiers were
unable to follow and overtake them without mounted
men, and forced to return to the fort and wait
for their coming from Saint Peters.
Having received information that the Indians
had a large number of white women and children
among them captives, and having their welfare
and rescue in vew Colonel sibley deemed it wise to
temporize with the savages, and the following
communication was posted up the battle field
we'll knowing that it would soon fall into the hands
OF Little Grow, their greatchief and leader.
IF Little Grow has any propositions to make,
let him send half breed to me- and he shall be pro-
tected in and out of camp. III. H. SHELLEY,
"Col., Commanding Military Expedition
The note was found and carried to the willy old
chief by of his scouts, and sent
tho 9th Of September, couched in Little Crows
bombastic style asking for a truce until terms of
peace could be made. Upon the return of the half
breed messengers, Col. Sbley sent by them the
following answer:
"Lttle Crow:-You and your warriors have MUIR
dered many of our people without any suficien9
cause. Return me the captive prisoners under flag
of truce and will talk with you then, like man.
III. H. SHELLEY, COL, Commanding Expedition"
Upon the receipt of this letter the Indians con.
gregated together and council held by the
Clipper and Lower Sioux at Yellow Medicin

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
Now York stook h1arket.

New YORK, July 17.-Of to.day's sales
OF 1853, 341 shares, As, TOO were in American
Sugar, As, 245 in Distillers AMI 10 TOO in
Chicago Gas, leaving over SO, 600 for the
entire railway list and industrials. The
feature OF the market was the heavi-
ness OF Distillers, the stock breaking
from 20A TO 1873. Considerable land
stock came out on the way down and
the decline was not checked until at the
close when there was a rally OF 1914 on
covering Of shorts put out early in the
day for room account. The weakness
was due to Washington ad vices that the
schedule will be unfavorable for the
trust.
Chicago Gas dropped 2A to 74A@74M
on the announcement tha5 the Cnicago
commission on council had given fran
chise to the Universal q as Company. the
latter to furnish the city with gas at rs
cents per thousand. American Sugar
first advanced E to 1919. fell to 99T.
recovered to 1908 and declined to and
closed at 99& at the lowest point of the
day. Tho stock Is still sensitive to
Washington news, the early rise being
due to the reiteration Of tho old reports
that the trust will get the protection it
needs, while the weakness near the
SiObO was tuc Ecoulb VI Gu6 ulS-
agreement of tho conferences. Bulls on
the stock profess to believe that there
will be no bill unless the trust Is taken
care Of, and in the event of Legislation
failing at this session the Company will
go ahead under the old tariff. which is
even moro favorable than the proposed
Senate bill.
The railway list held we'll until the last
hour or so. when v decline of u to
per cent. occurred in sympathy with
the weakness in the industrials. Pull
man fell ~ 10 1854 and Evansville and
Terre Haute2 to 81. The feeling on rail-
way stocks Is by no means bearish and
even the professional operators on the
short side are not inclined to follow up
the weakness of distillers and Chicago
Gas by sales of the railway issues.
The reported formal Disagreement Of
the tariff conference committee was
expected in view Of the wide differences
know to exist between the House and
Senate over certain features Of the bill,
and therefore the bill bears were unable
to make any capital out Of the latest
Developments in national legislation
1t Is still believed by the street that
way will be reached to dispose of the
matter before long, better inquiry for
bonds, both government and railroad,
having good effcc. on the stock mar
ket. Tne closing was rather weak, ow-
ing to the heavincss OF tho industrials.

Italian Art Has Spent It's Force.

In the nature of things it was not to
be supposed that much excellence of
painting could como out of Italy, saws
Mr.. John c. Van Dyke. III writing of
the display of painting Mt the Worlds
fair i'll The Century.
AS well expect fine marbles from
modern Greece or bus rcliefs from Meso.
potamia The flower is blown, and even
the stalk is iii Il dry rot. The art genius
of Italy typificd itself in countless forms
during tho renaissance. 1t spent its
force, eliminating with Titan and dy-
ing with Ticpolo i'll an art peculiar to its
age and people. The present race can
not repeat the triumphs of the past, nor
have they the versatility or strength to
produce new art in keeping with new
tastes.
The attempts of most of the moderns
are pit1ful i'll their weakness. Pictures
of the Roman Campagna, with ruined
aqueducts, pictures of the pyramids, St
Peter's, the Forum, Pompeiian flower
girls ut fountains, monks, fruit sellers,
DegSars-how much better are they
than the tourist pictures of castlcd Chill
lon or the Jungfrau, with an Alpine
glow collar around its top! Pcnclopc's
sultors with the bow of Ulysses and the
modern Italians with the palette of Ii
tlan! What could they do that would
not seem petty by comparison? Thai
which is Italian is mediocre in quality.
and that which is very good is not Ital-
ian.
