DRIED FRUITS
The market for new Fruits is motionless and
nominal and the occasional nibbes here and there
hardly sufficient to establish prices II is said
thRt speculators who have sold Prunes short are
trying to break the market by Offering to sell to
New York at low prices, they can fill their con-
tracts here and get out. If few of these short
spectators were to get bankrupted by their little
game the Prune industry would be better and
safer busn S.

Pine Ridge agency in 1890, has just
received a notification that she has
been awarded gold medal by so

is ITO. save or TO perish" Miss
Sickles was in 1886 a teacher in the
Indian school at the Pine Ridge
agency and was we'll acquainted with

tary Proctor and Gen. Schofield

has always maintained that by
giving Gen. Miles timely infor-
nation of the intentions subse-
quent to that she averted wholesale
slaughter at the agency.
