Minneapolis Bpccial : To-day the ma
jority of the employes of 0. A. Pills-
bury , tho miller , each received nn en
velope , the contents of which ginudencd
thuin exccedinglj * . Not only did it in
crease tho size of thoir purses but it in
creased their lovo and respect for thoir
employers. Tho amouut distributed is
the largest ever given employes of any
concern iu the United States undor tho
profit sharing system. Itoxceeded $40 , -
000. The distribution was made so
quietly that nono outside of those bene
fitted were informed of it Inquiries
made of Charles A. Piilsbury elicited
tho simple reply , "We have made
our distribution this year and are
happy to bay it was larger than
usual , " and that is all ho would say.
It wan four j'cars ngo that 0. A.
Piilsbury & Co. inaugurated tho profit
sharing system and tho firm was amoug
tho first to adopt it. Tho first year ,
what was considered a large division
was made , and iu that connection tho
firm sent a circular to its employes
winch is ono of tho most remarlcablo
ever issued by a firm in this country.
Tho opening paragraph was as follo\vs :
"Wo regret to inform yon that wo will
be unablu to niuko a division of tho
profits to any of our employes for tho
past business year. Tho simple reason
is that wo have no profits to divide. W 0
are somewhat recompensed , howovor ,
iu the reuVction that most of our men
have had steady work and that wo have
been able to pay your wages promptly ,
and without any deductions. " This
year has been a profitablo one , and
hence the workman's sharo is very
large. The distribution has been on
moro liberal hcalo than before. Every
man who has been in tho employ of tho
firm for two years has received a share.
Tho amounts individually received va
ra d from § 23 to S2.500. In no caso was
the amount less than a month's salary.

The cases of tho alleged Chicago dy
namite conspirators , Hronek , Chapek ,
Sevic and Chleboun , charged with a
plot to murder officials , were called up
and continued until the October term
of court , on the assertions of Hronek
and Sevic that at the proper time they
could obtain evidence to show their in
nocence.
A special from Opelonsas , IJa. , says
that at Villa Platte Prairie a crowd of
armed men rodo to tho honses of two
negroes , named Jean Pierre Salert and
Dideare , and after leading them a short
distance away riddled them with buck
shot , killing them both instautly. The
killing is supposed to have been brought
uliont by the incendiary language re
cently used by these two negroes. The
affair created inteuse excitement in the
neighborhood where it occurred.
A horrible death by fire was inflicted
by : i band of Mojave indinns on a young
j qnaw living on the eastern boundary of
California. The squaw , who was about
eighteen years old and quite comely ,
bad in some way acquired the reputation
of being a witch , and the head men of
the band'concluded to put hereto dpatlf
The girrwas stripped nhted and bound
to a strong stake , around which had been
heaped wood and brush , and the com
bustibles were set on fire. It was two
hours before she died , and during that
time she kept up an incessant shrieking ,
while the Indians danced about and
added fuel to the flames. She was
burned to a crip.
A special from Kokorao reports a
bloody affray in the court room in that
place. An action for divorce was pend
ing between Samuel Pruett and wife ,
and both parties were in the court room
waiting for the case to be called , a petty
suit being meanwhile in progress.
While the court was occupied with the
tatter case , Pruett drew a revolver and
fired two shots into tho body of his wife
and a third into J. C. Blackledge. The
womau wjls shot in the left breast neat
the heart , and in the right shoulder ,
and will probably die. Blackledge was
shot in the right breast , but his injuries
are not fatal. Pruett was arrested. He
chums that tho shooting of Blackledge
was accidental , the bullet being intend
ed for another man who had. invaded
the sanctity of his household. He ad
mits that he intended to kill his wife.

I TIIEATING WITH THE SfcUX INDIANS.
Great OlfllcittttRjepmrltuced in ( letting Homt
of the Vtilrfu to Affix Tttelv Sly nature * .
Standing Bock Agency ( via Bismarck )
special : Tho big pow-wow of Indians
to consider tho question of signing was
held horo yesterday and ended in a dra
matic sceuo.
Tho Sioux from all over the reserva
tion came in with their wagons and po
nies j'esterday morning and assomblod
in a hollow a few miles below Standing
Bock. For several days Sitting Bull
has been actively engaged in securing
aid in his endeavor to defeat tho signing
of tho treaty , and has sent runners all
over tho reservation to urge the chiefs
and braves to attend tho pow-wow.
In tho absence of Chief John Crass ,
Sitting Bull assumed to be tho leader
and wore a moro than usually ferocious
look , having put a few extra streaks of
red paint on his dusky face.
The crafty old savage still feels ugly
over tho fact that Chief Grass and not
ho was sent to Washington and is more
than ever determined to defeat tho ob
ject of tho commissioners' visit. He
opened tho proceedings yesterday with
an address which evidently had been
carefully studied and in which ho urged
the Indians not to sign the treaty and
hinted at treachery on the part of Chief
Grass. At the close of Sitting Bull's
characteristic speech ho was greeted
with tremendous applause.
Black Thunder , the next orator on tho
programme , &aid : "Brothers , I feel as
in days gone by , when wo were on the
ovo of a terrible fight. The very air is
filled with the deadly calm that foretells
a day of plunder andcarnago. But that
day has gono hence. "Wo have buried
the hatchet , and when it shall have been
unearthed we will bo resting in tho
arms of the Great Spirit. These men
they call commissioners come here with
a paper for us to sign. If we do so it
takes our laud from us. No sensible
Indian will sign it. I have spoken. I
shall not sign. "
Tho Indians listened breathlessly to
Black Thunder , and at his abrupt con
clusion he was received with deafening
cheers of encouragement. When the
applause , abated sufficiently , Young
"White Cloud , a graceful and handsome
young Sioux , ascended tho little knoll
of ground used as a speaker's stand , and
said :
"I have listened to the talks oLour
leaders , Sitting'Bull and Black Thun
der. They artf opposed to the treaty.
They speak too hastily aud rashly.
Their words should be carefully
weighed before leaving tho tongue.
They know not what they say. Tho
treaty is for our benefit , and I , for one ,
shall sign it. "
A dead calm followed the defiant ut
terances of tlio young brave. Not a
move was made or a sound heard among
the mass of red blankets. The stillness
was getting oppressive when Sitting
Bull slowly emerged from the crowd of
painted Avarriors. He carefully and
majestically wrapped the folds of his
red blanket about his form , and with
a wave of his right arm made a sign to
his followers. Then as one man the en
tire horde arose and dashed en ninsse
toward the young Indian who dared to
.brave their wrath by uttering what he
believed was right. His fate was surely
sealed had not Chief Gall appeared at
this critical moment and peremtorily de
manded order aud silence. His sudden
and unexpected appearance had a quiet
ing effect upon the Indians. His brawny
arms were raised aloft , and the enraged
savages suddenly stood still. Gall then
called upon the braves to inform him
what this unseemly demonstration was
all about. Here Sittiug Bull silently
sneaked away , the young heroic spokes
man following suit , leaving Black Thun
der to face the ire of Gall alone. Black
Thunder made a feeble explanation of
his action. Gall's face twitched under
his pent-up passion.
"What mean you ? " he almost scream
ed. "Is not this council for you all to
express your respective opinions ? Be
gone and let me hear no more of this. "
Black Thunder meekly walked to his
pony , saddled and mounted and left over
the hills. The other Indians silently
hitched up their ponies and drove to
their different homes.
It is possible that the sudden breaking
up of the pow-wow will put an end to
the holding of any future councils.
Will There be n Cut in Wages ?
Des Moines special : Inquiry to-day
among tho Chicago , Burlington &
Quincy employes shows that they are
uncertain what course they will take in
regard to the threatened reduction of
wages. It seems to be generally under
stood among them that a cut will be
made October 1 , affecting engineers ,
conductors , brakemen and switchmen.
The reduction will probably be from $10
a month upwards. Some of them say
they will strike. Others think that the
movement is really intended to oust the
present non-union engineers so that the
company can get back their former en
gineers without having to break any
pledges to do so. When that is accom
plished it is thought by somo that the
wages of the employes will be about
what they have been , although the cut
ting down of receipts on account of the
strike is admitted to be n possible factor
in the proposed move. Local officers
aro very reticent , and give forth no in
formation about the proposed cut in
wages , though employes stato that they
have reliable information that a reduc
tion will be made October 1.
General Manager Stone , with a num
ber of other officials , arrived in town
this evening on a tour of inspection.
He states positively that no reduction
of wages is contemplated , and conse
quently no new strike is feared. Others
admit that a circular of some sort sug
gesting a reduction was sent out , but
say it was not official , and that Stone
had nothing to do with it. He says that
the road will make no cut and has no
trouble with its employes.
Assassination in Colorado.
Ouray ( Col. ) special : Word reached
here this afternoon of a tragedy on Mt.
Sneflles road in which Charles Croths-
waite was the assassin and George John
son his victim. Crothswaite and John
son recently located a claim four miles
above here and as they could not agree
Johnson left and went to work on some
mining property near by and Croths
waite went to work in Smuggler mine.
Johnson a few days ago , gave some men
' permission to camp in the cabinie and
Crothswaito built. When the latter
heard this he came over and declared his
intention to kill Johuson. He went to
the cabin last night where Johnson and
Dodge Couklin sleep and called Johnson
up. Ho began to quarrel over matters
aud wanted to fight itontat once. John
son wanted to wait until morning , but as
Crothswaite insisted got up , when tho
latter , who was crouched at the foot of
the bed told him if he moved he would
kill him. Johnson sprang upon Croths
waite , a short scuffle followed , and John
son was shot through the heart. The
murderer escaped and has not yet been
captured. Crothswaite was at ono tamo
on the editorial staff of the Denver Tri
bune and has been connected with Kan
sas City and St. Louis papers.
The Cass county fair opened open
ed under flattering prospects , and the
display surpassed all previous attempts.

A MIGHTY MAN IN BATTLE.
Qeiu Alger's JCnlouy of Hie T.ale General
Sheridan.
At tho nineteenth nnnual reunion of
the society of tho Army of tho Cumber
land iu Chicago an address of welcome
was delivered by Major A. F. Stephen
son of Chicago. Colonel Stono submit
ted the names of members who died dur
ing tho year , and General Fullorton
made a motion that a member of tho
Bociety from euoh stato bo appointed to
consider the queblion of erecting an
equestrian monument in Washington in
honor of General Sheridan. General B.
A. Alger of Michigan delivered tho fol
lowing eulogy on tho late General Sher
idan :
General Alger began his address with
a btief sketch of General Sheridan's life ,
touching upon tho circumstances of his
birth , his graduation at West Point , his
service as lieutenant of infantry against
tho Indians in Oregon and Washington
territories , his recall from the Pacific
coast in tho fallof 1801 and assignment
to duty as chief quartermaster at St.
Louis , and noted that this great military
genius was not given independent com
mand tillMay 25 , 18G2 , when Governor
j Blair , of Michigan , appointed him colo-
el of the Second Michigan cavalry.
General Alger continued :
"He was a resolute man , and bis com
mand soon learned the fact that unless
in camp two parties wero in constant
danger the enemy and themselves. He
' was always genial aud easily approached
except in battle , when his whole nature
seemed to change , and woe to the man
who crossed him while tho fight was on.
Speaking of the fact not a year since ,
when told that ho was always ugly in
battle , ho replied : 'I guess that was so ;
it was tho way I always felt. ' "
Summing up tho sketch of Sheridan's
methods in preparation and in battle ,
Alger said : "Such was tho combina
tion a knowledge of tho topography of
tho country , the position and strength
of the enemy , quick perception and de
cision , heavy and rapid blows , which
gave him tho success that crowned him
among the foremost generals of modern
history. Sheridan never lost a battle.
He seldom made an attack that was not
successful , e d , like a mighty rock
standing 111 the sea , whose waves strike
it only to be divided and shattered , sc
the enemy's host was ever hurled upoi _
his command but to be broken. Those
who saw a handful of men defeat ton
times their number at Booneville ; those
who stood in the cedar brakes at Stone
river and witnessed the repulse of tho
proudest army ever sent by the rebels
to the west ; those who wero with him in
the seven miles of fire at Mission Bidge ;
those who were with him in that hill of
fire in the Wilderness , or served under
him in tho great cavalry fights of tho
Yellow Tavern and Trevillian station ;
those who passed with him through the
terrible battle of Winchester ; those who
helped to demolish Early's victorious
army at Cedar Creek , and those who
followed him at Five Forks , all joined
in acclaim as each victory in turn in
creased his bewildering fame , crowning
him with the plaudits of the world.
"Ono of the strong characteristics of
General Sheridan was his intense devo
tion to the cause of the north. Soldier
ing with him was not a more occupation
to gratify personal ambition , but he be
lieved intensely that the rebellion was a
crime , aud that it ought to be punished.
It was this intense earnestness that made
his success. His appearance upon the
field at any timo during the battle al-
wa3's created the wildest enthusiasm.
He handled a regiment as though it was
an army , and an army was managed by
him as though it were a regiment. "
After quoting Grant's and Sherman's
opinions of Sheridan , the speakor said :
"Sheridan's part in the war was so
prominent that it attracted attention at
once , and became a theme for poets , art
ists , and historians to dwell upon. Oth
er men had served their country well ,
and died hoping that future generations
would do them justice. Sheridan was
happy in living in the glory of his own
fame , and his fondest friends can hope
for no more than that the future may
concur with his own time in doing him
Honor. "
The speaker then touched upon the
pension question , and said that there
were about eight hundred thousand vet
erans in the country who were dying at
the rate of ten thousand per year , and
added : "The comrades of die gallant
Sheridan ought to be the nation's wards ,
aud not-the nation's paupers. A grate
ful country should rise up to give them
their just reward and place them beyond
the possibility of suffering during the
few remaining years allotted to them. "
The speaker closed with an eloquent
apostrophe to the dead general.
The Yellow Fever Situation.
Nashville dispatch : A conference of
delegates from the boards of health of
many of the southern states and Hlinois
was held here to-day for the purpose of
iisenssing the yellow fever situation.
\u exhaustive interchange of ideas was
had and resolutions adopted declaring it
the sense of the conference that ten days
retention of yellow fever refugees should
be enforced against those destined to
points south of the northern botindary
of Tennessee , but in view of the lateness
of the season it is recommended that
healthful refugees whoso baggage has
been disinfected should be permitted to
go north of the line without detention.
That the appearance of a case of fever
in a town should not be sufficient to war
rant a quarantine against that town un
til other cases have made their appear
ance , and in no case should a _ city be
quarantined against without inquiries
having been first made of the authori
ties of the place rumored to have been
infected. It is urgently recommended
that such change should be made iu tho
national health service as would , through
proper assistance and co-operation with
state boards , give protection and securi
ty to the public health.

A fTRONG ANTI-RETALIATION SPEECH.
The ItrUttlnim Jletieeen Great Jtrltalu , the
United Slate * , anil Canada.
Tho timo of the senato on tho 19th
was mainly tnken up with discussion of
retaliation measures. Senator Sherman
addressed the senate on his resolution ,
but his speech wns mainly directed at
tho retaliation bill. After alluding to
tho president's retaliation message and
justifying tho rejection of tho fisheries
treaty by the senate , Senator Sherman
wondered that tho selfish and un-Chris-
tian acts of tho Canadians had not led
to violent retaliation before this time.
If tho president had by proclamation
withhold such privileges from Canadian
vessels as wero withheld by Canada
from American vessels , the trouble
would have been remedied promptly ,
bnt _ tho president's change of base had
excited surprise in both countries , and
was regarded as a mero political move
ment. Tho retaliation measure pro
posed by tho president was far beyond
the range of and out of all proportion
to the complaint. Ho controverted the
position of tho presidsnt that orticlo 2S
of the treaty had been terminated.
President Grant had asked for similai
powers and congress had refused to
grant them , and should congress now
give to President Cleveland what had
been refused to President Grant ? Con
gress had furnished a simple , ample and
complete remedy in tho act of last3'ear.
He deprecated the passage of such laws
as Avere proposed in the retaliation bill
in haste and without sufficient consid
eration. This had been done before ,
under what seemed great provocation ,
aud had not resulted well. This bill
had reached tho houseby tho "grape
vine route , " had been precipitously
passed and sent to the senate. To seek
a quarrel with such a pretense wns
neither manly , dignified , nor just. It
was an after thought. Ho doubted tho
wisdom of conferring such powers
of retaliation upon tho president.
L'lie practical solution of those
questions tliat had been pending
between the "United State3 and our Cana
dian neighbors for so many years wns n
political and commercial union , but thai
could not bo reached by unfriendly leg
islation. The trno policy of the govern
ment of the United States was to tender
to Canada in a fraternal way tho free
dom of trade and intercourse and in
such a manner that it would be an invi
tation to Canada to become a part of the
American government. He saw no diffi
culties in tho way of the accomplishment
of such an object. Tho institutions and
people of the two countries were sub
stantially alike , and such a union could
only bo accomplished by tho free and
hearty assent of both people. Betalia-
tion would only defeat it. With the firm
conviction that that "consummation
most devoutly to be wished , " was wnthin
the womb of destiny , he was not willing
to vote for a measure that was not de
manded by national honor and that
would have a tendency to postpone tho
" " when the Ameri
"good timo coming ,
can flag would be the symbol of the un
ion of all the English-speaking people
ou the continent from the Bio Grande
to the Arctic ocean.
Senator Morgan replied to Senator
Sherman , and described a portion of
Senator Sherman's speech as a "post
mortem examination of tho recent fish
eries treaty. " He doubled if Senator
Sherman's beautiful picture of a zollver-
ein would be realized before the end of
the next century. He had been greatly
surprised at tho breadth of Senator
Sherman's treatment of tho question ,
but preferred to read the speech in print
before commenting upon it in detail.
He was astonished at the senator's con
demnation of retaliation before it had
been considered by the foreign relations
committee. The committee would meet
to-morrow and Senator Morgan prefer
red to let the subiect go over until then.

How to G-o to Sleep. H
It is now , I bolievo , writes a corrc- BJ
jspondent of the London Spectator , M
generally accepted that our conscious , M
daylight thinking processes nro carried M
on in the sinister half of our brain L | H
0. . in tho lobo which controls tho nc- BJ
tion of the right arm and log. Pon- BJ
dering on the uso of tho doxtor half of BJ
the brain possibly in all unconscious M
cerebration , and whntsoovor may bo BJ
gonuiuo of tho mysteries of plnnchctta BJ
and spirit rapping , I camo to tho con- M
elusion ( shared , no doubt , by many M
othor better-qualified inquirers ) that wo M
dream with tins lobe , and that tho fan- M
tastic , unmoral , spntel ko character ofj BJ
dreams is , in some way , traceable to BJ
that fact. The practical inferenco then BJ
struck me : To bring back sleep when J
lost , wo must quiot tho conscious , J
sinister sido of our brains , and bring J
into activity only tho dream sido , tho BJ
dexter lobe. To do this , tho only plan H
I could devise wns to compel myself la BJ
put aside every wak ng thought , even H
soothing and pleasant ones , and every BJ
effort of daylight memory , such as H
counting numbers or the repetition of H
easy-flowing verses , tho latter having H
been my not wholly unsuccessful prac- aa
tico for many years. Instead of all BJ
this I saw I must think of a dream , BJ
tho more recant the belter , and go over Bj
and over tho scene it presented. fl
Armed with this idea , the next time 1 B
found myself awakening at 2 or 3 B
o'clock in the morning , instead ol fl
merely trying to banish painful B
thoughts and repeating , as was my B
habit , that recommendablc soporific , fl
"Paradise and tho Peri , " I reverted at fl
onco to tho dream from wh ch I had fl
awakened , and tried to go on witii it. fl
In a moment I was asleep. Aud from fl
that time the experiment , often re- fl
peated , had scarcely ever faded. Not fl
seldom the result is sudden as the full fl
of a curtain , aud seems like a charm. I
A friend to whom I have confided my
little discovery tells me that , without I
any preliminary theorizing about the I
lobes of the brain , she had hit upon I
the same plan to produce sleep and had fl
found it wonderfully efficacious. / fl

Titled Shopkeepers in Paris. I
Paris is about to follow tho example I
set bf London in the matter of titled I
shopkeepers. One of the most popular fl
and pretty of Parisian countesses is H
opening a millinery establishment , fl
whence she will dispense hats , bonnets I
and co3tumos to her friends for a con- I
sideration. A well-known marquise I
has for some time been making a neat
little income by hiring out her magni- I
ficcnt silver plate , cut gloss , and silver I
candclabras for wedding and other I
festivities. This is an excellent plan I
for following M. Guizot's advice : "En- I
richissezvous , " and lago's counsel to I
Roderigo : "Put money in thy purse ; " I
for it needs no capital and entails little I
risk. Another Parisian of high posl- I
tion is proprietress of a successful I
little shop which deals in curious and M
artistic trifles. Taste is this lady's I
principal stock in trade. Ou the morn- I
iaz when she herself "dresses" the I
Bl
shop window the sate is doubly large ; I
but as she studiously preserves her in- I
cognito her services aro not available I
every day. In London lady shopkeep- I
ers arc intent rather upon success than I
upon privacy. They wait upon cus- I
tomers in person , and work as hard as I
any of their assistants. One very I
charming personage , whose name may I
be found in the Peerage , tries on bon
nets herself in the interest of her cus
tomers , to tho detriment of her coiffure
but to the great advantage of her ex
chequer. The movement appears to
be spreading. Tiio son of a gen Lie man
of distinction is just beginning as a
martret gardener. Two or three ladles
are ser ousby inclining toward the pro
ject of a large poultry farm not far
from London. They naturally f.iil to
see any reason why so manv thousands
of pounds should annually go out of
the country in payment for ogg3spring
chickens and youug ducks when it is
so badly needed at home , and whio
English hens are quite as punctual and
conscientous in the fulfillment of their
duties as those of France or Belgium.
An elderly lady of pos tion has already
gained for horself qnite a reputation
as a mender of fine old laces. Thcrs
are abundant openings for cultivated
women who do not despise the labor
of tho hands , n' > d if tilings go on as
they promise to do there will soon bo
material for a book to bo written on ,
