! UT[S ARE AGAIN
ON THE WARPATH
INDIAN AGENT DOWNS All cHEy.
ENNE AGENCY REPORTS TO
WASHINGTON
TROOPS RUSHED 70 Seine
SQUADRON or CAVALRY SENT
FROM FORT DIES MONIES
MORE ARE READY.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 49, Dispatches
were received yesterday afternoon
from Washington by Maj. Noyes, In
command Of the department OF Mis-
souri,, ordering troops to be sent to
the Cheyenne river reservation imme-
diately, where it is understood the
Ute Indians have become restless
again after their voluntary transposi-
tion from their Utah lands last year
Following the instructions from
Washington, orders have been sent to
Fort Des Moines that four troops,
composing squadron 81 the Second
cavalry, proceed with all haste to the
Cheyenne agency. where Indian Agent
Downs Is located.
Troops Rushed to Scene.
1t is expected the soldiers will be
at the scene Of the uprising within
twenty-fOur hours. Orders were sent
to the troops at Forts Meade, Des
Moines and Robinson late yester-
day afternoon to be III readiness lof
instant departure upon eceipt of adj
vices from Fort Meade that Agent
Downs had teiegraphed for troops.
When Washington was provided with
the facts the order for the squadron
from Fort Des Moines was issued.
Fort Meade is the nearest military
post to the reservation, one hundred
miles distant, but only one troop is
located there Seven are at Fort Rob-
inson, two. hundred miles away. But
the distance by rail is least from Des
Moines.
Cause Of Unrest Not Known.
The cause Of the unrest among the
indians ID not explained. nor has the
army headquarters here any informa-

their own, from which their subsist-
ence Is derived, and it is thought like

son, as the tribe has been muttering
for some weeks following period OF
plenty.

FINANCIAL STORM
IS SAFELY PASSED
UNITED ACTION AND WISE coUN-
Sells HAVE SOLVED THE
PROBLEM.
Stability IS ESTABLISHED
THE SITUATION is ONE DEALING
SOLELY WITH SUPPLIES OF
CURRENCY.

| New York. Oct. 30. = The feeling
among banking authorities is that
united action and wise counsels have
already accomplished much In proving
a solution for the financial problem
with which they have been called on
to deal during the past week, and
that with remedial plans now further
perfected the promise is strong for
the uninterrupted maintenance Of
financial stability. Yesterday was
marked by the usual Sunday calm,
which gave the financial leaders an
opportunity to ease the tension Of
overweight nerves experienced dur
ing the past week.
Presidents Support.
The departure of Secretary Cortel-
you for Washington removed con-
spicuous figure from the field. but it
was felt that with President Roose-
velt's strong support, as expressed In
his letter made public Saturday night,
Mr. Cortelyous presence in Wash
ington was favorable to such further
government assistance as might be
required.
At the clearing house there is much
evidence In preparation for the issu-
ance OF the loan certificates Another
evidence OF activity was the small
knot of people gathered at some of
the institutions where runs were in
progress last week, waiting for an adj
vantageous position on the opening Of
business to-day.
viii Hold Onto Cash.
The indications are that banking in
stitutions will not pay out large
amounts In currency today, except to
meet legitimate requirements Of their
clients for current business. Curren-
cy will be paid on small checks as
desired and to provide funds for pay
rolls and other legitimate and ordi-
nary uses.
One prominent banker pointed out
that it could not be brought to the
attention OF the country at large too
strongly that the present situation is
one dealing solely with the supplies
OF currency, and that neither the bus
iress credit of the nation nor its in
dnstrial and agricultural prosperity is
affected.
Country Extremely Prosperous.
In this respect there is sharp con-
trast with the conditions prevalent in
1898. At that time many factories
were closed, railroad business was at
low ebb and all parts of the country
were feeling the strain of acute bust
ness depression To-day, on the con-
trary, the country Is extremely PROS
porous; manufacturing plants are run
ming at full time to keep up with or
ders demanding output to their fullest
capacity. Railroad earnings are the
highest ever known, and the crop
prospects are excellent. The banks
themselves, especially those Of New
York. have In their vaults interest
bearing securities of the very best
character. on which in all ordinary
times they would be able to relize
large sums Of money. It is with these
securities and collateral that the
clearing house certificates will be is
sued to the extent OF 10 per cent Of
their salable value. Thus it will be
seen that every SIS Of loan certificates
issued Is secured by 500 worth Of
property.

REPORTS OF DrsPENsARIEs.
Reports From Colbert County shOv
 Handsome Revenue Increases.

hunuSVne 1s@SeMuG AhSESAsEss
 Tuscumbia, Nov, .--tSpecial. )--The October reports of Colbert countys four dispensaries show a large busi- ness and handsome revenue producers.
 Tuscumbia's dispensary showed $6.- S18.20, sales for the month, the net profits being $2,452.14.
 It Is the general opinion, however, that the dispensaries in Colbert county are doomed. and their days are nuni- bered. Many of the good people in the county were hopeful that they could be operated for the two years for which they were established, but seem to realize that they will be caught in the prohibition waves' which is sweep ing the State, and will be dashed to hibition," which it seems altogether likely will be enacted by the ensuing extra session of the Legislature.
