BLOOD AT LAST. Captain Wallace, Several Mea as Maay Indian Killed. A dispatch from Pine Ridge, S. D., Dec. 29. says: A fight took place with Big Foot's band this morning, while dis arming them. Captain George D. Wal lace of the Seventh cavalry was killed and Lieutenant Ernest A. Garlington wonnded in tho arm. Several soldiers were killed and wounded. A great many Indians were killed. The troops were under command of Colonel J. W. Forsyth of the Seventh cavalry. The fight took place near Porcupine creek, twenty miles east of the agency. There were about 120 buck Indians in the band and 500 cavalrymen against them. The Indians fought from des peration and knew they would be over powered. Thoy wero being disarmed after capture by Major Whitesides, preparatory to taking them off the reser vation to some unknown place. Trains have been waiting all day at Gordon and at Ruebville to take these Indians south. wno tuby are. The Seventh is Custer's old regiment and its station is at Fort Riley, Kas. Captain Wallace was born in South Carolina in 1849, graduated from West Point in 1S72, has alwuys been in tho Seventh cavalry, was at one time regi mental adjutant and was with Reno's command at the time of the Custer mas sacre. Ho leaves a family. He was a brave soldier, an excellent man in every respect and one of the best officers in the service. Lieutenant Garlington is the officer who commanded tho chief expedition for Greeley in 1S8:, when the Proteus was lost. AT PINE I'l'MiK. r.-iiiitemiiiiiuin Itrraks Ioos? Anionic th Five ThouHAiid Indian There. A special to the Omaha Bee on the 29th says that when the news of the fight and its result reached the sigency, pandemonium broke loose amomr the n.000 Indians gathered there and a large numler of these broke away. Loyal, friendly Indians, including Red Cloud, joined tho army forces under Gen. Brooke and took their stations behind the nun part a. At sundown fighting had commenced within t hree miles of the agency build ings and a determined effort, was made by the reikis to reach and nunx the agency. An Indian village of friend lies, in plain sight of the agency, was seen to go up in flames just before dark. Special dispatches have lcen sent to warn tl settlers everywhere to le on tiu-ir fe.iiinl. The captain of "the Rushville home guards was given official notice from tho agency this afternoon to make ever Iossible preparation for defending the town, and to see that adjacent settlers are notified. Already terrified people are arriving, and before midnight Rush ville will be crowded. It is thought by all cooler heads that no danger, however, or at least no imme diate danger threatens the railroad towns. PARNELL WORSTED. The Election in North Kilkenny Show a Large Majority for Hcnaessy. The election held to fill the seat in tho house of commons, made vacant by the death of Mr. Marum, member for North Kilkenny, resulted in the return of Sir Johu Popo Eennessy, the auti Parnellite candidate. Immediately after the sheriff officially announced the result of the polling, tho Parnellites present moved in a body to tho front of the court house and then with a cheer hoisted Parnell upon their shoulders. Parnell was upon the point of making a speech when Timothy and Maurice Healy appearod. Trouble im mediately ensued. Finally Parnell, in order to prevent what seemed to be a disgraceful row, asked the police to in duce the Hoalys to withdraw. The po lice promptly acted upon ParneU'a sug gestion and the Healys were prevailed upon to depart. Parnell then resumed his speech, saying he would not be turn ed aside from his determination to do his duty to Ireland, seeing the result of the eoutest in North Kilkenny was brought about by conspiracy. Parnell added that he would go through Ireland fighting every election and felt confident of an eventual triumph. Scully will lodge a petition protesting against the election of Henuessy on the ground of undue iuiiuence on the part of the priests. Over 200 votes are challeng ed bv the Parnellites. THE NEXT LEUISLATFRE. SuKgttttionrt to our Nfbraftka Statesmen. Com piled from oar State Exchanges. Now that Madison county has gone back to the commissioner system, it might not be out of place to suggest that the incoming legislature should so change the law as to allow each commis sioner district to elect its own represen tative on the county board without in terference from the balance. Under the present system, a man who is utterly opposed to the interests of the district he represents can be elected by the vote of men living in the other districts, thus leaving one portion of the connty prac tically without a voice in the manage ment cT county affairs. There is a chauc" or a large amount of reform in this mutter. Norfolk News. Nrbraska Tobacco. Wells & Nieman of Schuyler have had a notion for some time that the Platte vslley was admirably adapted to raising tobacco, and prepared to test the just ness of their opinion the past season. On tho 8th of December they sent to the Western Tobacco Journal, samples of their Cigar Leaf and Burley, several thousand pounds of which they raised the past season. To this they got the following reply from the editor: "Oar Nebraska friends ean rest assur ed that they can grow tobacco if they have those to euro asd handle it who have had experience. The samples sent were too green to give any idea as to their flavor, but they present the chief characteristics of the two types. The Cigar Leaf would make an excellent binder if properly cured, and shows bet ter color thnn thn TRnrtAxr Vaitt.nr f ithem have large 6tems or laterals, and me Duriey is as xougn and tmn as any raised in this section, but of course the color could not properly be judged of by the sample 6enL The Burley is more ragged than the Cigar Leaf, too, both sh.ow good length sad sprttd of leaf." Bn.siBes..--' From Dunn & Co.Vlast report we make the following extracts. As Dunn is regarded as good authority in such matters, tho facta may be accepted as encouraging: "The momentary situation grows more satisfactory because treasury disburse ments continue and arrivals of gold have given aid and the enormous excess of merchandise exports over imports is felt. In three weeks of December ex ports from New York have been 7 per cent greater than last year, which would indicate heavier exports than in any previous months, while the increase in imports has been but 2 per cent. These facts point to an excess of exports as large as the S37,000;000 of last Decem ber, and in November the excess of ex ports over imports was more than S25,000,000. Foreign trade is very heavy in spite of causes which .were expected to insure a material decrease. The uncertainty in regard to monetary legislation and its possible effects is still the great obstacle, but oven this has a less disturbing in fluence than it had a week or two ago, as the prospect of unwise action seems .more remote. The money markets have generally grown easier during the past week, not only at the east, but at some of the western and southern centers." Ax approved definition of money is that it is that which is "used immediate ly to purchase commodities and to pay debts." Tliat is "most approved as money which will niot certainly le re ceived in payment all over the world, viz., coin of the precious metals, leeause they do not merely represent value, but they really ore value." And yet the great transactions of commerce in these days are done through the medium of bank checks and drafts, tho actual ship ment of gold and silver would lie very expensive and cnmliersome, and couldn't lw thought of. The people's currency in this country need not cost them, in any case, one cent of interest, and there should lie am abundance of it, Munded upon confidence in the stability of our government and in the ability of the people to manage their own affairs in their own interest. With a tariff just sufficient to nicely enforce the develop ment of our own natural resources, and to secure to all our jeople work and good wages, either as agriculturists, manufacturers, miners, merchants, me chanics, seamen or as helpers to these in running the machinery of organized society in these United States, we need not be under any necessity of looking to foreign nations for dictation as to our money matters. We are a little world among ourselves and must see to it that while wo do our voting, we not allow any interest to manipulate us to our own hurt. The people of this- country can formulate a plan whereby interest money need not go abroad to enrich those that have no further use for us thnn that of making us tributary to themselves. If we do not get at this before long, there will bo a revolution here, founded upon a declaration of independence, more sweeping than ia now generally contemplated. Congress must waken up to the importance of the situation. Tnc week opens with only a moderate number of hogs on sole, and while prices at Chicago are but little, if any higher than here on the bidk of the hogs, and the provision trade is weak; thero has been a sufficient demand here to hold up prices, and tho trade today is active aud higher. With hardly enough hogs here to mako a market and liberal orders to fill, prices on all grades were unevenly high er, the greater advance being shown on the more common hogs. The general trade was quoted a nioklo better by salesmen, while extreme sales were reported even higher. The extreme limit reached was $3.70 for one load of good heavy hogs, and the bulk of the sales wero made at S3.40 3.C0.-South Omaha Stockman, 29th. Mint Director Leech is of the opin ion that no financial legislation will bo passed this session. He says: "The most serious feature of the entire agita tion about silver and financial legisla tion lies in the fact that the free coinage advocates, leing unwilling to yield their hobbies for tho good of the country at large, are going to defeat all financial legislation. Tho question of u new or permanent financial basis for tho gov ernment is by all odds the most impor tant that -has or can come lxifore the people, and it seems that this is to be cast aside without any action simply that a fow men who are making capital out of a hobby or have interests to be appreciated are unwilling to yield their demand for free eoinago at this time, when it is impossible." There are probably more .scoundrels in the world, trying to make a living by playing upon the credulity and hope of the sick and afflicted, than there are of any other class. These quacks claim certain cure of specific complaints, aud yet would not enter into a contract pio viding no pay for failure to cure, which is the test to put them to. The latest fraud is traveling salesmen in Iowa of fering for sale the Koch remedy for con sumption. Of course they haven't got it, but talk is cheap, and there always are credulous people to listen, and waste their dollars. Senator Ingalls of Kansas is a bright man and has some notion of what the country demands. He has introduced a bill which provides that when any ier son desires to surrender any interest bearing debt issued by the United States, the bonds shall be redeemed by the issue of legal-tender notes sufficient to redeem such debt, whether due or not at the time of presentation. The secretary can allow a premium of two per cent on un matured bonds presented for redemp tion. Friday was a great day all around. It was feared there were many wrecks of vessels off the Atlantic coast. A violent wind struck Puget Sound. Several ves sels broke from their moorings, but no serious damage was done. Telegraph lines were prostrated by falling timber, and Joseph Bell and Magnus Nelson were killed by falling trees, eo says a telegram from Seattle. Plato glass win dows in the city were broken and a few small buildings blown down. A non-bestcent tax-payer promises to bring suit in the United States court against Treasurer Kern of Cook county, TIV, to compel him to pay into the coun ty treasury for the ust of the taxpayers the interest ou the connty funds. The Chicago Tribune says if the reports that the treasurers pocket 00,009 to $80,000 of interest on the people's money is true, it is intolerable. With the county and city treasurers and other officers who collect large fees, the Tribune estimates that the loss to the people is from 150,000 to 8200,000 a year. Congress should not lo turned aside from the enactment of some just measure increasing the volume of the currency, by the-cry that gold is now being hoard ed in very large quantities in the east. Let there be no class legislation in the stamp of the government on its coins or bills, lot all be receivable for all debts and dues, without distinction, and a gold dollar will not bo worth more than any other dollar; tho hoarding of gold will cease, because there will bo no in ducement for it. The wife of Barker, the Lyons barber who was sentenced to five years' im prisonment by the district court last week for shooting and wounding Ed Lewis while ho (Barber) was in a drunk en fit, will suo tho Omaha saloonkeepers who sold her husband liquor for dam ages. Tho amount asked i3 810 a week for the term of imprisonment, it being alleged that Baker could earn that much at his trade. Lewis, tho wounded man, will also sue for damages. Jonx I. Blair, a Now Jersey million aire, some years ago gathered in nt tax sale about 10,000 acrea of land in Cum-, ings county belonging to H. T. Clarke, an Omaha man. The matter has been in court for years, Mr. Clark seeking to recover. Recently the caso was decided by Judge Caldwell in Mr. Clarke's favor, and now .lohn i. Blair will have to eolith up the land, Mr. Clarke paying all back litWM. The property is worth aland S100,o:;. Joseph Hxsi:k, the man who acci dentally shot himself while showing how a cousin bad committed suicide, was in the city Tuesday, says the Schuyler Sun. It was a fearful wound, the whole charge of shot entering his breast, tearing away the flesh and making a wound eight incites in length. Two ribs wore torn in two and the windpipe cut. It was thought for sometime that he could not recover but the wound has so far healed that he will now get well. G. IJ. Frankforter, at one time as sistant professor of chemistry in the, Neeraska state university, says the Cen tral City Nonpareil, now of Berlin, writes in reply to an inquiry from Lincoln: "I do not hesitate to say that I believe Dr. Koch has made the greatest discovery of tho age. As to whether it will cure seems now settled lieyond doubt." The latest from Kdison is that ho is preparing a portion of Now .lersey de scribed as a "a mass of iron ore a mile long standing perpendicular and extew1 iuto the bowels of tho earth to great but unknown depths," as an immense mag net, by means of which, it is said he expects to hear all sounds produced on the sun. L. D. Richards, late republican can didate for governor, has written a very caustic letter to E. Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, in which, among other things, he tells him that he will discover that thero is a sentiment prevailing among the republicans of the stato that tie (Rosewater) is "a fulnitier, a hypocrite and a traitor." Twenty-three years ago our people were buying English steel rails and pay ing S150 gold per ton. A" year ago they could purchase better rails of American manufacture for S25. Facts like this please American working men but they are difficult for free traders to expluin. Toledo Blade. Tariff Picture. Now York Press: Ladies, when we de pended on England for calico, back in in 1837 it cost 37 cents per yard. Now, because wo make plenty of it here, thanks to the tariff, you can get it for 5 cents. On November 19, Mrs. John Sullivan of Orange, N. J., grve birth to a strong and healthy baby; she recovered from her sickness and preceded with her household duties, and on Tuesday of last week gave birth to a second child, which is also strong and healthy. The doctors are nonplused. The alliance members of Kearney, Phelps, Harlan and Franklin counties are considering the question of starting an alliance bank at Wilewx. The pro jectors claim that enough have already signified their willingness to take stock to make it a success. The Rushville Sun complains bitterly about the importation of teams am) men from Omaha to do the government's freighting of supplies from Rushville to Pine Ridge. The needy farmers nlout Rushville ought to have the job it says. AT SET OF SC.X. If we Hit down nt net of miii Anil count the thinp that we have done.

Three years ago thero were ouly one or two families of colored folks here, but so many have come lately, that with the help of the white people, they have built a church in the suburbs of this city, and though they have not yet succeeded in raising money enough to put in any window or door, or to finish it off other wise inside, they have a day school in it, which is taught by a colored man; they also have a Sabbath school and preach ing every Sunday. Tho school directors have promised them their share of the public money. The teacher of their bible class is a lady and a christian. I called at her house one day to leave some books and papers which I had procured for their Sunday school, and I asked her if she had ever been a slave, and this is what she told me: "I was born in Missouri, and was about four or five years old when the war began, and not long after that, our master broke up our family, by selling my father, mother and two of my 6isters to different men. After the slaves were set free, I lived with seme colored folks who moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and when I was in my teeus, I wont to school there to a white gentleman who was from the north. He iimmI to read in the bible morning and evening and then talk to us and , give us good advice; and once while he j was talking to us about home and friends, I cried and sobbed so, that he came and asked me what was the mat ter, and I told him I couldn't find any of my folks, and I wanted my mother so much! He was sorry for me, and said he was quite sure he could find her, if I rememliered her name, that of our mas ter, and of the town where we then lived; and I did, and also tho uame of our master's sister who lived there then; so my teacher wrote to our old master, also to the postmaster thore, desiring him to see to it, if possible, that ho got tho let ter. He had moved to Tennessee, but his sister sent the letter to him, and he wrote to us that my mother's new master took her to St. Charles, Arkansas, and he had heanikno more about her. My kind teacher then sent a letter to St. Charles, and learnod that my mother was there and had married again. She sent my step-father after me, and I went home with him. My mother and I looked at each other for a moment and then rush ed into each other's arms, and such a time as we had! She couldn't bear to let mo be out of her sight ; and I staid with them till married. We found two of my sisters, but never heard from my other two, nor from my father." Her voice trembled, and her eyea filled with toars while she was talking to me. There were three, well-behaved little girls in the room, and I asked if they were hers, and she replied, "no; I have none of my own: they are motherless. One of my sisters died and I kopt her wee babe. Two other friends of mine died and each one left a little girl, and though we were poor, T took them, for couldn't lear to let them le homeless, as I had been. I take thesi to Sunday school, and 1 hear them say their prayers every night, and I hope they will lie christian women." She kept two lioarders, did her own housework, took in washing and attend ed school during the last term! Tho colored folks here in general are anxious to get an education: are quiet and peace able, and I have never known any of them to steal. Stuttgart, Ark., 1890. n. n. h. w.
