WASHINGTON. Nov. 21 ( Special. ) As
the time grows near for th republicans to
caucus upon the men they will support for
offices In the house of representatives one
thing Is clearly evident , the McDowell cham
pions have seemingly the best of the situ
ation , claiming 10SotER , and consequently
those In the McDowell combine look forward
to the caucus tonight with little fear of the
result Hut there Is alwavs n contingency
present that the gearing may not be well
oiled or a cog missing may throw the whole
Intricate ineclmnlnni out of position. General -
oral Hondeison , candidate for clerk against
McDowell , Is a veiy popular old man , nnd
mnny would like to vote for him for any ofllc ?
in the gift of the lower house , but McDowell
wn In Washington cirly last spring nnd com
menced an active canvass for the- clerkship
long b'forc General Henderson even thought
of being a candidate , nnd therefore has a
lead of time to his creillt. McDowell has
been Ritcccfsfitl In organizing n ivjlldnrlty
which will elect him , unless there Is no de
pendence to b placed In signs.
With McDowell elected , however , the rub
commences , and It will require the closest
application of the whip to keep In the traces
those who supported the Pennsylvanlan for
the clerkship. General Henderson does not
lack politicians who nro actively onllstcd In
his cans : , nnd they are quite as experienced
nlro pullers as those who are manipulating
McDowell' ) ) campaign. Recognizing that
General Henderson cannot be made clerk ,
there Is a decided probability that Mr. Hltt
of Illinois will exploit Henderson's name for
acTRoant-at-arms , and In a little speech In
which "no sectionalism" will bs most prom
inent , urge upon th : caucus the pleasant
thing of making the general an officer In the
T > ody which lie dignified for so many yearn.
Thin Is In a faint hope that the move may
smai'h ' the slateto smithereens.
This contingency Is being guarded against
by McDowell's backers , and every man who
Is known to be for the man from Pennsyl
vania Is glve-n to understand that he must
take the combine through from head to tnll
at ona doso. Under these circumstances ,
and knowing the deals that Invo been en
tered Into and positions contracted for. It
seems1 natt < In predicting the election of Mc
Dowell of Pennsylvania for chief clerk , Glenn
of New York for doorkeeper. Kussell of Mis
souri for sergcant-at-arms , Fisher of Kansas
for chaplain , and J , C. Mcniroy of Ohio for
postmaster.
STILL IN THE RACE.
General Henderson , when asked today If
ho Intended to continue In the race for
clerk , replied that such was his Intention.
"My banner is still on the outer wall. I will
not continue the quotation to the extent of
saying , 'Tho cry Is still they come , ' for I
have never made any claims. I do not ,
however , claim the contoRt settled until the
house caucus shall pass upon It , and I shall
hold out until that time. "
Ho added that he had considered some of
the Ohio delegate * pledged to him , and said
that even with half of the Ohio or the In
diana delegation ho could be nominated.
There Is an effort In certain quarters to
obtain General Henderson's consent to
transfer his candidacy to the contest for
Eergeant-nt-arms , but ho has not yet con
sented to this arrangement , and It Is being
bitterly opposed by the friends of Mr. Rus
sell , who Is the cundldEti ; of the McDowell-
Glenn coalition for this place.
Ohio probably secures the postmastorshlp
by endorsing McDowell , and It Is undcistood
that Captain McKee of Indiana , who has
been Mr. Russell's chief avowed opponent
for sergcant-at-arms , Is to be made Journal
clerk , Mr. McKco abandoning his contest for
the elective olllcc.
DEMOCRATS WILL CAUCUS.
Ex-Speaker Crisp arrived here this morning
from his Georgia homo and after consultation
with some of the democratic leaders It wan
decided to hold the house democratic caucus
tomoirow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The ciucus
will probably bo very brief , as no attempt
will bJ made to outline a policy for the com
ing session. The line of tactics to be pursued
by the democrats will depend upon the devel
opment of the majority. The caucus will se
lect minority candidates for the house offices ,
undoubtedly renomlnatlng the officers of the
Fifty-third house of representatives. A caucus
chairman anJ an officer to represent the
minority as a "whip" on tlie floor will be
chosen nlpo. Judge Holman of Indiana , who
has been chairman of the democratic caucus
for several congresses , Is not in the present
house and It Is generally believed that the
caucus will select Amos J. Cummlngs of New
York for this honor.
There are two candidates for caucus officers ,
Colonel Isaac R. Hill of Ohio , deputy ser-
geant-at-arms of the last house , and Henry
If. Mohler of Illinois , who was cashier In the
eorgeant-at-arnis1 office In the last congress.
Colonel Hill has bosn deputy sergcant-nt-
nrms flnco 175 , In demociatlc congresses , and
held tlio position of caucus officer or "demo
cratic whip" In both the Fourty-seventh nnd
Fifty-first congresses , which were republican.
REED IN .THE COMMITTEE.
Ex-Speaker and Speaker-to-be Reed Is
guarding the makeup of committees with
the greatest caro. As his selection as
Hpeaker was a foregone conclusion "he has
had ample opportunity during the recess to
block out the committees nnd decide upon the
various chairmanships. The members them
selves Koneially wrote them their views nnd
aspirations , It Is believed that before ho
arrived hero almost , the Important places
had been decided , upon. It Is understood ,
tco , that a few of the Important as
signments arc yet In controversy H Is
probable that Mr. Reed will consult ex-
Speaker Crisp and other democratic leaders
as to the minority representation on the
committees.
From the best Information obtainable It
seems likely Serene F , Puyno of New York
will lead the ways and meant ) committee ;
Mr. Hltt of Illinois , foreign affairs ; Ilender-
BOII of Iowa , appropriations ; Grosvcnor of
Ohio , rivers and harbors ; Walker of Massa
chusetts , bulking nnd currency , and Hep
burn of Iowa Interstate commerce. Ml

WASH1SOTON. Nov. 29. There Is a growIng -
Ing probability that the. republicans at their
caucus next Monday , will decide to attempt
to rcorganlzo the senate on republican lines ,
and that a candidate for president pro tctn
will then be decided upon. Quite a number
of republican senators , Including three or
four members of the steering committee ,
were nt the capital today and an Informal exchange -
change of view 5 among them resulted In the
general adoption of tills conclusion There
Is a difference of opinion as to the wisdom
of attempting more than the election of a
presiding officer In the beginning , but the
preponderance of opinion Is that action at
that tlmo wilt be confined to this otllcc. If
the republican candidate succeeds In this con
test , the republicans will then place candi
dates In the field for the other elective of
fices.
So far Senator Frye's name Is the only ono
heard with reference to the office of pres
ident pro tern , but there are several aspirants
for the other ofllces. Among those who are
spoken of for secretary of tha senate are
lion George C. Gorman , who formerly held
this office ; Mr. Diirfce , who was for many
years clerk of the senate committee on
tinanc" , and George Dnber of Kentucky. For
sergeant-at-arms , B. K. Valentine , of Ne
braska , cx-sergeant-at-arms : Captain Curtis
of New Hampshire , Major Grant of North
Carolina , nnd Mr. Shaw of Washington state
are already In the field.

traveling through Oregon selling some kind
of a receipt for curing horse diseases , the
seller assuring each purchaser that he would

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D. , Nov 2i ! ( Spe
clnl. ) The present \lslt of Standing Hear ,
the chief of the Ponca Indians , and White
Snnn , a Poncn chief from the Indian terri
tory , to the Santce reservation , on the oppo
site side of the Missouri river from Spring
field , this state , recalls to nil old-timer here ,
now n federal official , the early tlays when
every effort was made by raiding bands of
Pawnees and Sloivx to exterminate the
Poncas.
The Ponca Indians were formerly located
on a reservation west of the Ml ourl river ,
below Tort Uandall , and being mldwny be
tween the Pawnees and Sioux , were tlie
natural prey of both these tribes. It was
customary for raiding parties of from twenty
to forty Pawnees to leave their reservation In
Nebraska and laid the Poncas , stealing
ponies , cattle or anything that they con
sidered worth carrjlng awny , and now and
then killing a herder who was so Innocent
as to attempt to frustrate their plans , or who
was not sultlclcntly agileto make his escape
from the ln\nders. Hands of Sioux would
also lea\e their reservation farther up the
Missouri and sally against the Poncas , who
numbered about 800 or 1,000 persons , and
wore fair fighters especially when they were
cornered.
Occasionally the Poncas would muster up
sufficient courage to sally forth and give bat
tle to their persecutors when the raiders be
came so bold as to enter the agency Itself ,
and loss of life , would result. The Pawnees ,
on their raiding expeditions against the
Poncas , were extremely .careful not to enter
Sioux territory , as the wars which had been
carried on for generations between these
hereditary enemies had taught the Pawnees
that the Sioux were fighters and not to bo
trilled with.
BHAVE AT CURTAIN TIMES.
The Pawnees , like other Indian tribes , were
very bra\o when they outnumbered their foe.
It was considered a brave net by some of
them to creep up on n Ponca herder and kill
him before he had an opportunity to resist
or escape. The federal official mentioned
above was n government herder at Santee
agency In the early 70s , and states that one
day ho rode suddenly over a rise of ground
Into a ra\lne about flfloen miles from the
agency and was astonished to see close nt
hand a band of Pawnee warriors. It was
one of the raiding parties , and the Indians
were dressed In full war array. They had
apparently just dismounted , and were standIng -
Ing beside their ponlre. They appeared as
nstonlshed as the herder nt the unexpected
m&etlng , and stood In their tracks motionless
for the time being. In the meantime the
border's horse was very uneasy at the sight
or the Pawnee \\arrlors , who are , when
dressed for war , the moil hideous of Indians ,
and kept sidling from them. All this time
the herder was Keeping close watch of the
Indians , momentarily expecting a hostile
demonstration , and at the same time gently
touching up his horse with the spur on the
foot fartherest from the redskins. Finally ,
when a safe dlstnncs wns reached , the
herder buddenly swung his pony around ,
struck both spurs sharply Into Us Hanks and
started rapidly away. The Pawnees made
no attempt to give chase , and were soon left
far behind. It was n narrow escape , for had
they cared to kill him they could easily have
done so.
The constant raiding by the Sioux and
Pawnees also cicated alarm among the
Santee Indians , who lived In proximity to the
Poncas. They are a branch of the Sioux na
tion , and had no fear of being raided by
their own people * , but feared the Pawnees.
On another occasion , one Sunday afternoon
In the hummer of 1S70 , the same herder was
hunting stray cattle In the bluffs near the
Missouri river. Some Santee. Indians also
chanced to be In the vicinity. They were
greatly nlanned to see the herder unexpect
edly appear over a hill , and not recognizing
him , as It was a windy day and he was rid
ing with his hat under his arm , they felt
certain that he was the advance guard of a
Pawnee raiding expedition , and started on a
wild rim for their agency.
HAD FUN WITH THE SANTEES.
Seeing nt n glance their , mistake' , and cor
rectly Interpreting the cause of alarm , the
herder decided to hnve n little sport with
them. So he galloped toward them , and
whenever a depression In the trail was
reached and he was out of sight of the
frightened Indians , but still within hearing ,
he would give utterance to n series of yips
and yells that were calculated to ralso the
hair of a mummy. The speed of the. Indians
was accelerated by the yells , and so desper
ate did they deem the situation that they
dropped their blankets and other articles that
they thought might impede their flight.
When they had been scared Into a state of
utter panic the herder turned his horse aside
nnd resumed the hunt for the stray cattle.
The next day he had occasion to visit Santee
agency , and learned that It was the general
belief thpro that he had been killed the
previous day by Pawnees. The frightened
Indians had made the most of the situation
and told of having been chased by vast num
bers of Pawnees , their narrow escape , and
added other embellishments characteristic of
the average Indian's narrative.
The raids of the Sioux and Pawnees kept
the Poncas in such a state of terror that the
government finally moved thorn to the Indian
territory A few stragglers have , from time
to time , returned oveiland to their old home
on thi.- Missouri , complaining that It was lee
hot and unhealthy In the Indian territory
When It was demonstrated that It was Impos
sible to keep these dissatisfied ones in the
When It was demonstrated that It was impas
sion to remain In the vicinity of their old
stamping ground and receive their rations
at the Santee agency. They still reside
the're , and the new order of things permits
them to enjoy life without the constant fear
of hearing the wnrw hoops of their old-time
enemies , the Sioux and Pawnees.

Thousands of women arq dragging out
n weary , miserable existence , because
they do not fully rcali/o what is the
matter with them. They know tlmt they
have "female weakness" but they do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do not know that to this one
trouble is .race-able almost all of their
bodily ills. They consider it a disease
by itself , and if they have also neuralgia ,
nervous headaches , biliousness , kidney
troubles and other things , they ecu no
connection between them and the de
rangements of a strictly feminine nature ,
liusy and overworked physicians oftcf
treat these things as separate ailinciil' ,
when the whole trouble lw f the c
source. The reproductive organs are > o
important a part of the body that when
they arc out of order , the whole sybtem
is deranged. Whatever illness a wo
man has , she will do well to look there
for the cause.
