deranged from that day till her death.
43 years later. 4 O. sSS
1t. is supposed that during the abb
sence Of Mrs. .Wisemans band of In
dams approached the house, probably
with no hostile intent. The children
saw them coming and were filed with
fear.
The eldest boy, lad of about Is,
seized loaded gun. and when the In
dams were a few rods from the house,
fired at them, wounding the. leader.
This enraged the rest and the massa-
ere followed. The dying Indian found
by Mrs. Wiseman was the victim of
the boys deadly aim.
1t was some time before Wiseman
heard of the awful tragedy and re-
turned home. His seven murdered
children had been buried in common
grave on the hill top near his house.
There he fell on his knees and swore
an oath of vengeance against the red
men that he would kill every Indian
that should expose himself to his rifle.
And well did he keep his oath.
Some years ago party of biologists
passed up the Missouri to examine the
formations on the Nebraska side. Dig
ging at the base of the hill on the top
of which the Wiseman children are
buried, their spades came in contact
with bones-human bones. A dozen or
more skulls were dug up, each contain
fng a bullet hole.
Mrs Wiseman died two years ago at
an advanced age, but Wiseman still
survives, He is over 80, in good health
and still cherishes the same intense
hatred for the red men.

twins. The oldest was boy about 20,
the next oldest was a girl of 16.
Wiseman built log cabin on the
side of hill near the Missouri river,
in region that is still wild and ro-
mantle. Woods are dense in the val
leys; they abounded with game in the
early days.
Indians were numerous; they passed
up and down the river in their canoes
and roamed by hundreds over the
hills.
At first Wiseman lived on friendly
terms with the red men, some o. whom
were his guests almost daily. and life
in the wilderness was enjoyed by the
Wiseman family. But the friendly re-
lations between the Kentuckian and
the Indians ended in an awful manner
giving place to deadly hatred and en-
nifty
When the civil war broke out, Wise
man sent his grown-up son to the
front to fight against the slave power,
and the boy fell in battle
Wiseman himself joined a regiment
of soldiers to protect the settlers on
the frontier against the Indians, who
became warlike and bloodthirsty when
hostilities began in the south. Thus
Mrs. Wiseman and seven children were
left at home unprotected.
During the summer of 1852, while
the family was in this precarious stu
alton, Mrs. Wiseman was obliged to
go to Yankton. Dakota territory, on
business. The distance she had to
travel was not great, being less than
80 miles, but progress through the will
derness was slow, and she was gone
two or three days.
When she returned to her home an
awful discovery awaited her. The
white door-knob was stained with
blood. The alarmed woman did not
dare enter, but walked around to the
rear of the house to look through a
window.
The worst fears took possession of
her. Where were her children? Why
did they not come running out to meet
her and why did not she hear any
sounds from them?
Behind the house lay a bleeding In
dian at the point Of DEATH He had
just strength enough to raise himself
on his elbow and meet Mrs. Wiseman
with look of unspeakable malice and
anguish. That look was never effaced
from her memory
Filled with terror and not having
the heart to look into the house, Mrs.
Wiseman fed from the place and hur-
ried for help to st. James, frontier
hamlet, three miles away. A few hours
later she returned with company of
men, They entered the house, where
they fouad stretched upon the floor the
dead bodies Of the five Oldest children.
The corpses were horribly disigured,
showing that the victims had been
butchered in most brutal manner.
The two youngest children, the
twins, could not at first be found. and
4 was believed that the Indians had
carried them away alive to be reared

CRISIS REACHED
IN PARLIAMENT

London, Oct. 6.-There is every evi.
dence that a crisis has been reached
between the Liberals and the laboritea
in parliament. The efforts of James
Kier Hardie, the labor leader, to force
the Cardiff labor conference to com
NIT British trade unionism to social
ism, have evidently forced the liberal
ministers to adopt a party policy to
meet the new socialistic- tendency in
labor circles. The leading statesmen
are joining in the attack upon the new
movement. Minister of War Richard
B. Haldane, in a speech Friday night
at PEBBLES in Scotland, denounced the
socialistic ideas of the predominating,
or Hardie section of the laborites. He
warned the labor radicals that a
schism was inevitable if the present
tendency was pursued, he said:
"If in the name of labor Mr. Kier
Hardie, or anybody else, brings for
ward abstract propositions which con-
flict with labor principles if he wishes
to nationalize land and capital, the lib
eral party will cross swords with him"

BACHELOR JURORS
WERE NOT WANTED

Chicago, Oct. Bachelor juries are
being rigidly excluded from partici-
patton in the trial of S. N. Honneif-
er, a broker accused of swindling
banking firms out of S274.000 by means
of "kited' checks. If Hoffheimer is
acquitted he will wed Miss Ethel ia
cobs. If convicted it is said the en-
gagement will be broken. Hoffheim-
er's lawyers don't think a confirmed
bachelor will be able to see the rom
ance in such case. After the de-
fense peremptory challenges are ex-
hausted it may be compelled to take
such jurors as it can get. Until then
no unmarried man will be permitted
to enter the jury box. The trial COM
menced today.

BLAST KILLED
ONE: WOUNDED ANOTHER

New York, Oct. 5.-The accidental
explosion of a forgotten blast in the
Belmont Tunnel beneath the south
east corner of the new Belmont hotel
here killed one laborer and ia
tally injured another. The dead
man was George Jones, AZ years old,
of Rosendale, NJ Y. The injured man,
who was taken to Bellevue hospital in
a dying condition is Antonio Wrote,
of the Bronx. The forgotten shell
which the two tunnel drillers struck
is believed to have been left in the
rock by the excavators who blasted
out the foundation of the hotel. The
point where the explosion occurred is
70 feet beneath the surface. Cyrenius
Singer, of Elmira. N. Y, the foreman
of the gang of workmen, was arrested
charged with homicide So far as can
be learned, the explosion which is
said to have rocked the earth, did not
injure the foundation of the hotel.

THE MARKETS.
CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Wheat was very
heavy the greater part of the session
today and had to absorb much of the
line bought by Valentine two or three
days ago. He was credited with hav-
ing sold in person in the pit. 1,750,000
bushels and that with numerous other
lines of long wheat that came upon
the market, to say nothing of addi-
tions to previously exciting lines of
short wheat, made SO large a total
that it could only find buyers at the
cost of 1-2 cent reduction in its price.

MAY MODIFY
His Instructions Relative
to Sending M o r e
Troops to Cuba-Ex-
Pense Would be HEAVY.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The president
has under consideration a modification
of his instructions of a week ago di-
recting the sending of six thousand
troops to Cuba.
He believes that the marines and
bluejackets should be sufficient for
every present requirement, after the
arrival of the troops on the transport
Sumner. They number 1000 and will
reacn Havana in few days. Secre
tary Taft will be communicated with
and if his views are III accord with
those of the president an order will
be issued, directing certain of the
troops included in the mobilization or
der, to remain at their posts. Others
that have moved on Newport News
may he held there for a time, pending
further developments. At the sugges,
tion of the president, Secretary of the
Navy Bonoparte prepared a diagram
showing the disposition of marines in
Cuba. Camp Havana. 404 Havana
City, 80; Pima, 500; Cienfuegos, 725:
Spiritus, 142; Principe, 100. The blue
jackets are disposed of as follows:
Cinstitia, GO; Nuevitas, so; Sagua la
Grande, 30.
There is no increased expense caus-
ed to the government by the extra du-
ty that has been placed upon the navy
through the Cuban trouble. But the
placing of regular troops on a war
footing is an increased expense, and
the pay for transport services will be
quite heavy if the regulars called out
are to embark for Cuba.

STALE CHICKEN

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Western poultry
eaters were reassured today Most of
the aged cold storage product goes
east. Master in Chancery Kelly heard
this intelligence today from w. j.
Mooney, cold storage expert, at the
hearing of a case in which the city
seeks to condemn several thousand
pounds of chickens found in a local
cold storage warehouse. The health
officials say they are not fit to eat.
Owners of the fowls assert they are
all the better for being kept few
years after the killing. Mooney tes
titled for the defense. He cooked a
potpie of few of the chickens at his
home last night to show the court
how good it was.
