Communicating the glorious news to

After killing many buffalo, deer and

by the storm, Connor's men loaded
the meat upon wagons and commen-

Not hearing from his scouts, and
knowing the Importance of opening
up communication with Coles lost
army, General Conner sent out an
other detached force, commanded by
Captains North and Marshall, with in
structtons to fight their way through
to Coles column on Powder river.
On the seventeenth of September
while marching up Peneau creek,
General Connor's advance guides met
Lieutenant Jones Of the Second Mis-
souri, artillery, with Ave men, sent
by Colonel Cole to report the safe
arrival of General Connor's scouts,
and that Cole would fight his way
through to Fort Reno.
The news that communication had
been opened up with Coles lost army
was received by Connor's men with
wild demonstrations of joy. Lieuten-
ant Jones reported that the combined
forces of the Sioux Indians attacked
Coles and Walkers columns north Of
the Black Hills and continued to fight
them, forcing them back through the
Wolf and Panther mountains to tne
tongue river.
There, the sioux were reinforced
by the Arrapahoes and q bloody bat

The Darlington Independent issues

The Darlington Independent issues
a very creditable magazine supple
ment for distribution, designed to at
tract the attention of immigrants
and investors to Darlington and to
Foster county. The brochure is very
neatly designed and executed and
contains many pages of reading mat
ter, made more interesting by the
pictures of various farm and city
scenes with which it is illustrated.
Foster is one of the best counties in
the state, and its resources and ad-
vantages have been well set forth by
the magazine. The example of the
Independent is to be commended to
the newspapers through the state,
provided always of course they can

men and real estate organizations to
warrant the undertaking. The time

from the Rosebud and reported to
General Conner, saying they were I'M
J able to find any trace Of Coles lost
army. 8&:" J r. = ?
On the seventh of September, 1865,
General Conner faced his command
, about and commenced his retreat up
; Tongue river, having learned that
there was poor grass below, and no
; signs of Coles command near the
| Yellowstone.
1t rained for three days, the rising
water and muddy roads making 1t al
most impossible to travel up the river
valley.
September II, Conner moved his
camp one mile up the river to better
grass; some of his mules and horses
were poor and commencing to die
from exposure and hard usage. While
encamped there Captain North re-
turned from a scouting trip to the
Powder river, reporting that he had
found the trail of Coles lost army.
In following it through spur of
Panther mountain they came upon
one of his deserted camps where they
discovered more than five hundred
dead cavalry horses, most of them
shot at the picket line. This was bad
news, showing that Coles army of
1900 men were being hard pressed
by a superior force of Sioux Indians,
compelling them to retreat and shoot
their horses, the Indians giving them
no chance to forage.
A large number of saddles and 9TH
er property had been burned and his
well marked trail led up the Powder
river in an opposite direction from
the course he had been ordered to
take.
This disastrous scene was c0nclu-
sive evidence that Coles command
was in a critical situation; compelled
to shoot their cavalry horses to save
them from falling into the hands Of
q savage enemy and to enable the
men to do better fighting on foot. The
situation was a dark one, showing
that the Powder river expedition was
nearing its end, perhaps disastrously.
General Conner was an old expert
enced Indian fighter, who realized the
necessity of making a hurried retreat
to Fort Reno to his base, with sup
plies.
He could not fight the combined
forces Of Sioux and Arrapahoes with
his little army, that was reduced to
less than four hundred men, and he
planned a cautious retreat to escape
disastrous battle.
Believing that prompt action COM
bined with good luck, was required
to save Coles command from defeat
and annihilation; knowing he had
taken only enough ammunition and
provisions to last his men until Sept.
/, General Conner dispatched five
Pawee scouts with instructions to
travel only by night, run the gauntlet
through the Indian lines and reach
Col. Coles army on Powder river;
notifying him of his close proximity
to Fort Reno, where there were
plenty of food supplies and ammuni-
ton.
These scouts made the trip and

It is surprising how many people
will be attracted to something that
offers an unreasonable return upon
the time, labor or money invested.
The same spirit in people that makes
them patronize lotteries, mining stock
ventures and get rich quick schemes,
led good many persons in this
northwestern country to be attracted
to Alaska wheat, the remarkable
grain whose origin was obscure and
shrouded in mystery, but which was
to yield hundreds Of bushels to the
acre. Notwithstanding the evident
imposture of this wheat, thousands
OF persons inquired as to where seed
could be obtained, and it is likely that
good many purchased expensive
samples Of wheat, in the hope that
one seasons yield would bring
riches. The closing of the mails to
the promoters Of this miracle grain"
proves tiat the government has at
last STEPPED in to put an end to further
deception.
!. Doubtless the promoters reaped a
plentiful harvest while the gullible
continued to buy. Wheat is like a
! good many other things-it is good
property but hard to get and will
yield only fair return upon the in
vestment of time and money. There
is no miracle wheat, that will yield
thousand bushels for one.

The announcements of the last few
days of the newly financed mining
enterprises In the district and pre-
~parations for their active develop
ment. together with announcements
of new capital engaged and new
plans entered upon for the further
development of properties in the
camp, give strong foundation for
the spirit of enthusiasm which pre-
walls here with reference to the i'm
mediate future. The home outlook
is unquestionably good and there is
every reason to believe that 1t will
improve gradually from on.
With the loosening of money for in
vestment, there will be a great deal
of new capital put into the camp lof
the trying out of new territory. In
the latter there are many excellent
prospects and we believe no less now
than in the past that among these
prospects there are some big mines.
A great deal of territory remains in
the immediate camp which is deserv-
ing of prospecting and which, unless
all previous copper camp history is
upset, will produce mines-possibly
bigger ones than have yet been made.

On Abraham LincoIn's Life Mask.

VII GtnCOIu Lie "aSN
While thousands of persons listened
the other night in absolute silence at
the exercises commemorative of the
centenary of Abraham Lincoln's birth
held at Carnegie hall, in New York
city, Richard Watson Glider recited
tie following poem written by him to
the memory of the great emancipator:
This bronze doth keep the very form and
mold
OF our great martyrs face. Yes, this is
That brow all wisdom, all benignity;
That human. humorous mouth; those
cheeks that hold
Like some harsh landscape all the sum-
mer's gold;
That spirit fit for sorrow as the sea
For storms to beat on; the lone agony
Those silent. patient lips too well fore
told
Yes, this is he who ruled a world of men
AS might some prophet of the elder day,
Brooding above the tempest and the fray
With deep eyed thought and more than
mortal ken.
A power was his beyond the touch of art
Or armed strength-his pure and mighty
heart
