A Dispatch From Gtn. Crook Detaillaft
Particulars of the Campaign
Against the Sioux.
DISPATCH FROM GEN. CROOK.
Chicago, September 16.
The following was received at mili
tary headquarters hern to-day:
Fort Laramie, September 16.
Gen. K. C. Drum, Chicago, 111.: The
following dispatch has just been re
ceived from Gen. Crook:
"Headquarters of Big Horn and Yel
lowstone Expedition, Camp near Owl
Creek, Dakota Territory, September 15
Gen. Sheridan Chicago: Marched
fioin Hart river, passing a great many
trails of Indians going down all the
different streams. They are apparent
ly working their way in towards the
different agencies. Although sumo of
the trails seemed fresh, our animals
were not in coudition to pursue them.
From the north fork of Grand river I
sent Captain Mills, of the Third caval
ry, with 150 men, mounted on our
strongest horses, to go in advance to
Dead wood to procure supplies of pro
visions. On the evening of the 8th,
near the Slim Buttes, he Jdiscovered
a hostile village of thirty lodges, and
lay by there that night and attacked
them by surprise yesterday morning,
capturing the village, some prisoners
aud a number of ponies, and killing
some of the Indians. Among the In
dians was Chief American Horse, who
died from his wounds after surrender
ing to us. Our casualties were slight,
but among them was First Lieut Lutte
wits, of the Third cavalry, wounded
seriously in the leg and knee, since am
putated. In the village were fund,
besides great quantities of dried meat
and ammunition and army guide, por
tions of officers and non commissioned
officers uniforms, and other indications
that the Indians of this village had
narticiDated in the Custer Massacre.
Our main column got up about noon
that day, and was shortly after attack
ed by a considerable body of Indians,
who" the prisoners said belonged to the
village of Crazy Horse, who was camp
ed somewhere between their own vil
lage and the Little Missouri River.
This attack was undoubedly made
under the supposition that Capt. Mill's
command had received reinforcements.
The prisoners further stated that most
of the bestil Indians were now going
into the agencies, with the exception
of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, with
their immediate followers. Crazy
Horse intended to remain near the
headwaters of the Little Missouri, and
about half of Sitting Bull's band, num
bering from sixty to one hundred
lodges, had gone north of the Yellow
stone, while the remainder of that
band, with some San Arcs, Minne
conjous and LTncpapas, had gone
in the vicinity of Antelope
Buttes, there to fatten their ponies and
to trade with the Rees and others. I
place great reliance on the statements.
From other corrobatory evidence which
I have, these Indians, with Sitting Bull,
will amount probably to three or four
hundred lodges, and in my judgment
can rery easily be struck by Gen. Ter
ry's column, provided it go in light
marching order, and keep under cover.
Our prisoners also in their conversation
fully confirmed in every particular my
opinions as already telegraphed you.
We had a very hard march here from
Heart river. For eighty consecutive
miles we did not have a particle
of woo4 nothing but a little dry
grass, which was insufficient even to
cook coffee for the men. During the
greater portion of the time we were
drenched by cold rains, which made
traveling very heavy. A great many
of the animate cave out and had to be
abandoned; the others are now in such
a weak condition that the greater
number of them will not be able to re
sume the campaign until aftr a reas
onable rest. I should like to have
about 500 horses, preferable the half
breed horses, raised on th Laramie
plains or in the vicinity of Denver and
acclimated to this country. I intend
to carry oat the programme mentioned
in my last dispatch via. Ft. Lincoln,
and shall remain in the vicinity of
Deadwood until the arrival of my
wagon train. (Signed.)

pretty thorough debate. ' In tne House,
at this session, it was simply referred.

committee on coinage, weights and mea

1427) by Mr. Hooper, February 9, 1872,
ane" a substitute (see II. B. 2634) report
ed and passed May 27. 1875, in every
change of the bill retaining the "demo
netiring clause respecting silver. At
no stage was there any hostility mani
fested by the democracy to this clause,
and it was finally passed by both hous
es in 1873 without division. In 1872
it was not acted upon by the senate,
but in the house, after a lengthy and
animated debate upon other sections,
and after the declaration by Mr. Mc
Neely a democratic member from Illi
nois, that "as a member of thecQmro.it
tee on coinage, weights and measures,
having carefully examined every sec
tion and line of this bill, and generally
well understanding the subject, he
thought the bill eught to pass." It
passed by a vote, by count, of yeas 110,
nays IK. But ence only was a vote by
yeas and nays taken upon its several
passages; that was in the senate Janu
ary 10, 1871, as follows:

ANONYMOUS.
Lincoln, Sept. 16, 1876.
Editor Journal: Prof. S. R.
Thompson, the present Principal of
our State Normal School, is a man
somewhat above forty years of age, of
pleasant address, easily winning the
confidence and respect of his students
through the hearty interest be takes in
their welfare.
He graduated at Westminister Col
lege, Pennsylvania, in 1859. He spent
his early vears teaching district
school, but after graduating he was for
two years Professor of Mathematics
in his Alma Mater.
He was for five years, countv super
intendent of Crawford County, Pa., a
county containing more than 60,000 in
habitants, and nearly 400 schools.
During this time he examined more
than 500 teachers yearly. He was for
four years city superintendent of the
public schools of Meadville, Pa., and
afterwards was vice principal of the
State Normal School in Edinboro, Pa,
for three years.
In 1867 West Virginia organized her
first State Normal School, and the State
Superintendent of that State wrote to
Superintendent Wickersham, of Penna.
asking him to recommend a good man
for principal. Mr. Wickersham recom
mended Prof. S. lt. Thompson, and the
board elected him. He was connected
with that school three years, but his
health failing, he was compelled to re
sign. Coming to Nebraska, rather on a
visit to his wife's parents, than with
any intention of making this State his
permanent home, he was electad Pro
fessor of Agriculture in our State Uni
versity, where he remained nntil elect
ed to his present position.
Prof. Thompson is one of the best in
stitute workers east or west. He has
spent a portion of each fall for several
years in Pennsylvania, reciving as high
as 125 per week, and in some instances
980.50 per day for his services.
He has worked in Nebraska in teach
ers institutes since he has been here,
perhaps more than 50 weeks, and nev
er received a cent for his services.
Pi of. Thompson is an earnest, enthu
siastic teacher, with most advanced
ideas of teaching every way fully up
i to the times. He is a thorough schol
: ar, a man of broad and elevated view.
: sensitive to a fault in all that would
1 render him subject to criticism. He is
: greatly beloved by .ill his pupils, and
; w ins the respect of all with whom, he
! has had any intercourse. He is thor
! oughly in sympathy with every move
; ment that will tend to elevate the pub
lic schools.
He is now spoken of as a candidate
for the State Superintendency. Nebras
ka will do herself honor by selecting
him. There is no other man so well
fitted every way. in the State for that
position, and it will be fortunate for
the people if he s placed at the bead
of her educational interests. Journal.

Capture of Tour of the Northfleld Bank
Bobbers.
St. Paul, Sept. 21.
The Pioneer Press has a special from
Madelia, Watonwon county, Minneso
ta, announcing the capture of four of
the Northfield robbers. The four cap
tured are those lost track of in timber
around Mankato, two of whom are sup
posed to be the noted Younger broth
ers. They were captured after a hard
chase and brisk interchange of shots.
They were considerably hurt, one of
them seriously.
Later The woonded robbers have
confessed to the sheriff that they are
the Younger brothers, but refuse to
give the name of the dead comrade.
The following is a powerful descript
ion by the Boston Traveler: "The scene
is a frightful one in the New York bell
towers during storms of lightning.
i The current will dash around among
the wires; the steel handle of the lev
er which rings the bell has to be cov
! ered, and the towers will swing two
; feet in the wind." This is really far
' within the actual facts. At such mo
ments the bell-rope has to be greased ;
the buildings all around the shot-tow-ers
have had metalic roofs put on to
preserve them from injury when the
i towers wave around in a gale, and only
recently the spire of Trinity Church
bent down till the top of it stuck into
. the pavement in the middle of Wall
street. 2T-. Y. QrapAie.

Can Grasshopper Eggs be Destroyed.
Editors Post: While the grass
hoppers are among us, it may not be
amiss to make public suh information
as may be had concerning the best
methods of avoiding their ravages.
In Cass county, Iowa, last week, an
old resident of over a dozen years stand
ing in that county, said that the grass
hoppers ravRged that county eight years
ago. and deposited their eggs, as they
are doing there and here, now. He
said that in all fields that were plowed
after the eggs were deposited, either in
the fall or in the spring, no eggs hatch
ed out in the spring
Since my return. I had a conversa
tion with an intelligent farmer of this
County, whose name has now escaped
me, and I related to him what I heard
in Iowa. He then said that in the
spring of 1875, he and some of his
neighbors noticed that such fields as
had been plowed before the advent of
the grasshoppers the year before, were
full of young hoppers in the spring,
and that in such as had been plowed
afterward no young hoppers appeared.
There nay be something in these two
shreds worth attention, and for such
purposes I submit them. Yours, etc,

In the Beaver court this morning,
Judge Boreman. in the course of his
charge to the jury, said: -The prisoner
J. D. Lee stands before you charged
with being a participant in one of the
most atrocious massacres of men, wo
men and children, in the Mountain
Meadows, in 1857, that was ever known
in any civilized part of the world. The
evidence shows those killed were emi
grants. For days a combination of
Indians and white men had been mak
ing an attack upon their encampment.
The Indians and white men vied with
each other in the fiendish work,destroy
ing over 120 men, women and children.
It has been alleged he shot one with a
gun, one with a pistol, cut the throat
of another, and told an Indian not to
spare a young woman whose life the
savage asked him to spare."
The jary retired at 11:45 a. m., snd
at 3:30 p. m. they returned with a ver
dict of murder in the first degree.
TIIE GRASSHOPPER.
Burlington, lAScpt. 11, 'T9.
Editor Journal : I have just re
ceived a letter from Prof. Riley, a lead
ing authority on the grasshopper sub
ject, enclosing an article prepard by
hiro for the New York Weekly Tribune.
The following extracts may be interest
ing to your readers:
-In proportion as they hatch this fall
in that proportion will there be less
injury next spring. Eggs which I
have received show advanced einbryo
sic development, and some have al
ready hatched. Moreover it is very
evident from my advices, that the ep-gs
are being to a large extent destroyed by
enemies, and the signs generally are
encouraging.
-The eggsT from last accounts, are
being extensively destroyed, not only
by the trombidium sericeum, but by
other hitherto undetermined enemies,
one of which, a pale yellow maggot,
about half an inch long, sent by Mr.
Morse, the larva of some hymenopter-1
ous cither a wasp or an iehiicumour."
