Tho Indian War.

The correspondent of the Mime
apols Journal wired that paper from
Walker. Minnesota, Thureday morn
ing that the force Of eighty men sent
under General Bacon to bring the
Pill; ger Indians to terms had been
annihilated blythe redskins. In adj
dition to the above the correspondent
said: ...s ssas....
Il do not know whether Inspector
Tinker has more information than
have, but he sent word to the War
Department last night that the Third
Infantry detachment had been wiped
out. l got in very late from the ex-
petition on the Flora. We started
ont to carry supplies and ratims to
the troops. 1t was very dark of
shore and we signalled for an hour.
Either the troops have been driven
inland or there Is not man Of them
left. No answering signal of any sort
was rect ived alth " gh we lay off and
on the whole leugth Of the headlands."
1t seems from the dispatches that
after marching his command around
the peninsula where the Indians
were IL trepched in a 1ain endeavor
tn find them, General Bacon lined
hia command up with their backs to
the lake and Major wilkerson put
them through few evolutions. The
last order was to unload their pieces,
which was obeyed. As the men
rested arms a signal shot was heard
which was followe by another, md
then fulllsade of shots was fired
from the bushes and timer by the
Indians. who were in ambush. The
s'ldiers we're thrown into panic for
a moment, but General Bacon
cautioned them to- be cool and steady.
Major Wilkerson repeated the re
mark and the soldiers sought shelter
at every spot. The Indians fired
volley after volley and could only be
located by the smoke from their
rifles. Major Wilkersop, one SER
geant and three privates wore killed
and eight wounded. The latest dis.
patches say that fighting was still in
progress. .. ......,...

nucce use- the following in one O: its
recent editorials:
Stewart stated before the Senate
Committee, winch had the ma ter I'm
der consideration, shat it would be
an imposition upon the railroad to
compel them to establish a terminal
point within the boundaries OF thus
State desert where there was no
business
The above is a wilfui and malicious
falsehooo without Il shadow Of truth.
No such sentiment we are authorized
to say, was ever expressed by Senator
Stewart, nor was the question Of ter
minal point in Nevada ever discussed
in committie in his presence.
Why the editor OF the Advocate
should be con stantly dealing IN mis-
Representations instead of seeking the
truth is incomprehensible.

THE MILK MAIDS CONVENTION.
The Opera House Filled With an Ap-
 preciative Audience.

Last Thursday evening the society people of Mena enjoyed themselves very much at the entertainment given by number of our ladies.
 The event was the Milk Maids con- vention, consisting of a drill and a scene representing the maids in the midst of their annual convention which was filled with comical and in- terestlng features. The program opened and closed with a drlll in uni form. Each of the seventeen ladies was dressed in costume consisting of short pink skirts and bodice and each carrying her milk pail and three legged stool. The figures formed in the dril l were difficult and beautiful in ef- feet. The exactness with which they were carried out displayed care and patience both on the part of the ladies and Miss Humphrey, who acted as drill master. To see so many of Mena's most beautiful ladies executing such pretty drill was we'll worth seeing During the convention the maids sat on three legged stools and formed half circle around the chairmaid, Miss Bessie Spring
 The convention opened by vocal solo by Mrs. Joe Long, which was very warmly encored. Then came each lady in her turn with amusing and witty remarks which brought forth continued bursts of laughter from the audience.
 The following named ladies took part in the affair: Misses Spring, Nedry, Brown, Lavender, Humphrey, Varley, Whayne, Flora Clark, Lulu Clark; Mesdames Matheny, Dobson, Long, J. T. Frady, Fuller, Roach, Rust, Gist.
