'How ' doth the bright and busy BEE Improve oixcli precious hour , And gather Hems , every day , In eunllght and In shower , How carefully it watchea things , How fiery it attacks Railroads , and like monopolies , Which brook our very backs. " But the BEE to us Is always associated with , and seems a part of Nebraska. This etory copy , calls up visions of swift storms , smiling fortllo valloysplotnrcsqno bluffs , with swooping , Dwelling , ocoan- llko prairies , Indians , soldiers , riotous "strikers , " Gen. Crook , Lieut. Ohorry , and Doc Middloton , are strangely mixed up. Alasl Poor Ohorry ; I know him well. A HOLDIEU TBIED AND TKUE of unflinching coutage , yet gentle as a woman. Nebraska has done well to perpetuate - potuato his name in ono ot her counties. I mourn yet b'yt untimely death , yet grieve moro that it should bo charged on the innocent. In a letter to the Christian Statesman , of Philadelphia , written from Omaha shortly after his death , I said : "If thia murder could have boon fas tened on the Indians , as it was evidently Intended It should bo , wo nhould have hoard a hno and cry from Maine to Call fornla , "Exterminate the red devils and cut-throats 1" But fls it waa by n white man , and a soldier in Cherry's own com pany , why the 'poor fellow * was only crazy , and any number of affidavits were offered in his behalf to provo his ineanity. " I find in traveling through the country that Ibis impression invariably prevails. TUB FACTS. While working up at Fort Nlobrara I wrote a letter in reply to another to tbo "Frontier , " of O'Neill City , giving an accunnt of the killing of Ohoo , a half- breed from Rosebud agency. I de nounced In plain English the killing as a brutal and cowardly murder , and con cluded with : "So far from hoping , as your correspondent docs , that no harm may befall the bar-tender , wo hope ho shall receive the full penalty of the lair he has violated , not only as a warning to others , but as the best moans of preaerv ing peace and securing ns and our fami lies , exposed hero on the border , from al tlio horrors of an Indian outbreak.1 This letter TTBB shamefully garbled by Matthews , the editor , making mo make charges against the officers of the post , which I had not done , and raised a per foot storm of excitement ngaintt mo. ] was absent from the fort for about six weeks , and on my return took a copy o my letter to Liout. Cherry and comparec it with the printed copy. This satisfied him , won his respect and esteem , and hi used his Influence to remove the prejudice dice Its publication had awakened. A few weeks subsequently the write became aware , involuntarily , of a plot hatched by soldiers and cow-boys to rob Major Stanton on his way up with lour months' pay for the troops. The com mander was ( promptly notified , and in the presence of Rev. T. A. Mo Adam , the chiplaln , urged to take steps to defeat the plot. The Idea waa poo-hoood and ridiculed. Lieut. Cherry called on me next day and questioned mo in regard to it. I refused to give names. "It Is only an idle camp rumor ; yon don't know sol diers as well s I do , " said Cherry. "I did not get it BO , " I replied. "Well , Major Stanton is a brave , lion-hearted man , has been paymaster a long time , and anybody who attempts to 'jump' him will got hurt , perhaps. " "So much the worse for Major Stanton , " I said ; "these are desperate men , and intend to have that money. If his life la in the way It will bo a small matter. " I can sco him yet , impatiently kicking the gravel on the parade ground , tbou rousing up , and turning towards mo : > "Perhaps It will bear looking into ; don't mention It to any one that you spoke to mo about it. " "Well , lieutenant , don't > yon mention my name in connection with it. " Wo patted. The next time I saw him HE WAS A COUPS E. Taking two sergeants with him , bo started that afternoon from Noally or Oakdale , then the terminus of the rail road , motMaj. Stanton there , and es corted ] him safely to the post , and spoiled . that llttlo game. The following week , he paid the .penalty with his life. The major paid off the soldiers on Thursday. The next thing on the programme was to rob Cornell & Thatcher , post sutlers , Lieut. Cherry's vigilance , and promptness defeated this , also. A fallow named Castolllno hept what waa called the "Hog Ranch" saloon , dance-house , and gambling hell , all in one , near the fort. This must be "pulled. " Monday night , Johnson was on * guard at the sUblos. There wore throe lots of the 5th cavalry tbero. At 11 o'cloak ho and foor , . horeos were miming. An houi later four men in masks , made an attack on tbo rank , killing Baling Batdcau , outsider , and giving a eealp wound to a soldier over the tomplo. This , too , proved a failure , as Oaatelline "held the foit" 10 well that too of the patty had to haul off for repairs. Tbo wrlttr artived at the Fort the previous evening from Rosebud Agency , where h& had spout a week , and rode back with Spotted Tail and his son In his bnggy. There are few men for whom I think moro sincere respect and esteem than for the brave old chief of the Sioux. Bor- dean was his bcss herder , and I think his son-in-law. He was off hit reterva- ) tlon and would do nothing while off ol It , but politely tendered tbo terrlcos ol Klg Thigh and others of his best police men to go in pursuit , Lieut. Uherrj started early next morning , struck thi trail , crossed the Nlobrara river , bu soon lott the trail , and camped at a cat tlo ranch between the Fort and Fort Randall. Cherry hnd roonested Frank Marks to go along with bin as A scout. Thla man , now living at Norfolk , had been for aomo tlmo In the secret servlco of the state , and had succeeded in breaking up Jack Nolan's and Doe Mlddloton's gangs of horse thieves , placing both these worthies at hard labor for a period of ton years each at the Llnceln penitentiary. Ho was then at the fort , ostensibly working as A stone mnson and plasterer , but keeping - ing bis weather eye on some "crooked- nosa" In. which It was pretty well under stood THE COMMANDER HAD A SLY LITTLE HAND. It was n llttlo remarkable , at leant , that Cornell , the post sutler , and a con tractor named Kin ? were running a steam eaw-mlll oa the public domain , and this Walttig was utterly unconscious of the fact. Cherry urged htm to go along and promised to get him the posi tion of post scout. That night the Indians reported three mon on horseback had gene through Rosebud Agency. After breakfast Cherry changed his course nnd started for Old Fort Pierce. Marks soon said there was "deviltry on foot , " sullen looks , muttered growls , and slg- nlGcant glancea were exchanged.- Tom Locke , the cook of the party , "dutnallcd for a voyage. " v hon they loft camp. Marks and Choiry were killing pralrlo chickens as they rode along , Thcso too , ho carefully scoured. Near the Turtle Buttes , Ohorry divided hla party , ho and three soldiers crossing a small stream , to follow It down , and sending Marks with "Thigh" and the other Indian scout to cross another , and note Troll that no trail crossed either , and to unite again at a butte to the north of thorn. Scarcely had they got their heads under the bank till they heard four shots fired rapidly. They had noticed aomo men on the butte , and suspecting they might bo the parties they vroro after , were hastening to got in tholr roar. Crossing the stream , and reaching the table-laud above again , they saw Cherry's horto and another , going off with empty saddles , and Tom Locke and Sargcant Warrlngton , golug off at the gallop , in a different direction. Sus pecting Cherry had boon ambushed and tired on , they felt tholr way back to where they had left him , but n few moments before , and then , only a few rods elF , ho was lying dead , SHOT T1IROUCIU T1IE HEART. and Conroy , another soldier , shot in the hip. He aald : "They stoppad to water their horses. Cherry drew rein first , nnd started up the lank , he next , and Locke and Harlngton behind. Cherry hoard a click , and turned to look back , with his loft hand on the horses rump , and was shot under the arm as ho looked back. The next shot took Conroy In the hip , and the other two were h'rod to start the horaaa. All the shots were fired by Locko. " Marks says when they found the body Big Thigh dismounted , and tak ing up the dead man's hand , pressed it tenderly to his llpa , and then , kneeling bojido the body poured out hla feelings In a mild wailing , "dta wo o , " or "death sorry , " ever the "bravo young white chief. " The toara poured ever the bronzed , weather-beaten cheeks as ho rocked to and fro in intense emotion. Shame on the slander that the Indians were tha murderers. This brought the expedition to a close , as Sergeant Smith would not go further , without orders from the commander , and the Indians would not go on without orders from Spotted Tall. Marks was very reluct antly compelled to return , an ambulance sent out and Cherry's body brought in. A f tor getting a basket of ilowors to deco rate his coffin , and realizing why ho was lying there a corpse , and that that was good , healthy county to get out of skipped out down the river in a Httl boat to the Missouri , some 200 or 350 miles. It was a desperate and perilous under taking. The Knox county papers sale the first white man who over succeeded in making the trip , but probably the saf est. HE HAD TO GO. Mr. Marks received a letter shortly after I left , which I have now in my possession , containing the following : "Wo want you to leave this reserva tion forthwith. Wo want no detentions hero , Dutch or Irish. Ono of yon haa gene , and the other ono bad bettor fol low him quickly , unless ho wants to croako. [ Signed ] MANY SOLDIERS. " That night his tent was attacked at midnight , between twenty and thirty shots tired , five of which passed through the little tent where his wife lay in all a woman's weakness and suffering , with a young babe I These were not Indians. Tom Locke , the murderer , was brought in by some cow-boys on tbo Leap or the Calamus. The com mander compelled every officer and sol dier , whom ho could induce to do BO , to sign affidavits that ho was insane. I re ported the facts to Gon. Crook at Omaha. Marks used every effort to have the guilty parties brought to justice. At his dictation I sent the facts and a list ot witnesses to Maj Campbell , United States district attorney , at Yaukton , but It was reported in court wo could not bo found , simply bocanso wo were not wanted , and justice waa defeated by the old Insanity dodgol If you will glvo this a place in your columns it may tend to remove false Im pressions , by giving the "true inward ness" of the whole matter. Yours , D KILPATRICK. ABrnlceman's 1'orlloua Kldo. Louisville Timea. Charles Wonn , a brakeman employed on the Short Line road , had a very nar row escape from death last night. Ho had started on an outward bound train and was rUMog on top of the rara. Tbo train wns netring Eiglo atatlon , which Is about 50 mlles from the city , and was speeding along at a rate of twenty-five miles an hour. It became neceaobry for Wenn to go to ouo of the brakes.

Ho was hanging between the care ba ny ! able to hold himself up. but knowing that if bo let go his hold It meant certain death. Finally ho wai found AB soon as he WAS taken up he fainted. It was found that he wae bruised horribly about the ( face and body. Ho was brought to this city and carried to h.s homo onVeuzel and Jeffer son street and Dr. Bndell called.

How the Yanfc and2llie JohnnylReb' ' Hotels Started Arms anil Ml- ' fasted Together in a Swamp , Ono ot Nod Bnntllno's War Stories , Nod Buntline In New York Worl-J. While Longstroot was in front of Suf folk pocking at us with Wright's bat teries , initoad of coming in and "wiping us out , " as ho could have done before wo were reinforced , a report came in that ho was massing n heavy force to the south east of our lines , our weakest point of defense. To learn the trno state of things at this point I was sent with a small scouting party by way of the Shin gle company's canal into Lake Drum- mend , to scout from thence south ot the Dismal Swamp. Going in skiffs wo reached a landing on tolerably solid ground and camped for the night on a llttlo knoll In a dome thicket of scrab pine , a half milo or thereabouts from the point of landing. Of course I had sentinels well out from our bivouac , for wo know by many sounds that the enemy were not far from us. All wont well through the night , and at dawn wo made coffee nnd cooked some venison that I had got from old Duke at the head of the canal oa wo came by his place on the previous afternoon. The sentinels were called in to breakfast , for there seemed to bo no Immediate danger. Wo had just squatted to our coffee and grist when a sound struck our oars which made every man In silence spring up and grasp his Sharp's carblno. It was the heayy tread of men. Wo hod just got our arms in hand when a dozen men in rebel gray , led by a lieutenant over six feet high and lean as a nail , broke right through the brush in front of us. In a second , while both paitlos stood at a ready , the lieutenant cried out : "Hold on , Yanksl If yon'uns won't shoot , wo'nna ' 11 hold fire. That coffee smells mighty good wo'nns havn't had any for a year. Wo'vo lots of tobacco , though. " Ho and his men looked no gaunt and hungry , and so llttlo like enemies just then , that I cried out : "If you 11 stack your arms out there and trust to us , you shall share In grub and coffee , and then bo free to go back and fight It out If you want to. " "Good as sweet corn ! Wo'uus are mighty hungry. " They at oncu stacked arms and wo did the same , and while our cook put moro ccffeo and moro steak on the fire wo sat thcro on the ground , the Blue and Gray , and talked as If wo were old friends. Not about the war or its causes , but abcut camp * o ujd other things. And the way our coffee wont down with hard taok and juicy venison steak would have satisfied the proudest land , lord that ever bragged of his table. After wo had filled np the Virginian ] brought out tholr tobacco and did their share of treating. The lieutenant had a hngo canteen of old peach brandy , and that wont the rounds. After wo had got so friendly I asked the lieutenant bow ho came to bo on that point. Ho replied : "I was sent to watch loaet yon 'nns came this way In force to take upon the flank. Our main force is massed in front , where the batteries are ready to go in If you 'nns weaken , and the old fellow ( Longstroot ) was afeared you might como through the swamp and tickle us in the rear. What were you 'nns doln * here ? " "Just out on a hunt for fresh moat ; got this deer last night. " "Well , the best o * luck to you. You don't feel like fighting now , do yon ? " "Not If you boys don't. It would bo a pity to spoil this picnic that way. " So we all shook hands , traded coffee for tobacco , and separated , at least for then , as friends. The next day on the lines wo were all throwing lead and iron at each other. Bis Sin Found Him Out. Bozeman ( Mont. ) Correspondence. Three years ago Rudolph Zimmerman , a wealthy farmer living at Breltenberg , Bavaria , was murdered and robbed of a largo sum of money which ho carried on his person. The most careful investiga tion on the part of the police failed to dlecover the perpetrators of the crime. At last the secret of tbo crime has been divulged by a well know loader of tbo doml-mode In Berlin. This woman at one tlmo lived In Breitonborg , and by her beauty and attractive manners won the affection of the Catholic priest of that parish. In an unguarded moment ho re vealed to his mistress ono of the secrets of the confessional , which was to the effect that Earnest Snydro was the mar- doror of Rudolph Zimmerman ; that he confessed the fact before leaving for America In the meantime Snyder bad had come to America , and settled in Montana , embarking in railroad contracts and succeeded In making a good deal , of monoy. About u year ago ho fell in with two brothers of the murdered Zimmer man , and they formed a copartnership for carrying on the business of lumberIng Ing In the mountains near Bozeman. About a week ago the Zimmerman broth ers received a letter from a relative In Germany , stating that they wore on the track of the murderer of their brother and hoped in the next letter to be able to state who ho was. This letter was read to their partner , Synder , who ap peared greatly excited and talked inco herently when discussing sorao butinosi matters , but they suspected nothing. The next morning Snjder packed his va lise and said ho was going out hunting. They thought It strange that ho should drees np in his best clothes anrt take satchel with him on a hunting trip , bnl still suspected no deeper motive. Aftei tlireo days' days absence their feari wore aroused , search was instituted , and theli comrade WAS traced to a precipice whore broken bushes and trampled snow Indl cated a death straggle , and tht disappearance over the cllfl of smc one. They took It for granto : that Snyder had lost his life it an encounter with a bear , returned t < Bozemao , applied for letters of admlnlr tration on his property , which the judgi was about to grant when a cablegram wa received from Germany stating tha Snyder was the murderer of tholr brothe Rudolph. It was at once apparent tht Snyder had prepared the evidences of hi death for the purpose ot misleading hi partners , while he made his escape. Lf loaves a good sized note book account &n < a large amount of other personal prop erty. The matter of his arretl la In th band of skilled detectives who will spar no expense In hunting him down. How tlio Cholem Cornea. St. Paul Globe. The recent scare which the people c Cleveland had , from what was suppose to be two cases of Asiatic cholera in thol midst , might have been avoided if the had checked their excitement long enoug to oiccrUln whether or not Cleveland hbd had communication with any seaport town In which cholera had recently exis ted. The true Asiatic cholera always originates In Hlndoslan , and has never boon known to exist elsewhere except it was oitrlod from the far o st directly or indirectly. The Pitlsbnrg Times gives an account of how cholera was first intro duced to America in its virulent from. In the spring of 1832 ton or twelve emigrant ships brought cholera to Qaoboo from the British islands , which Islands choleraic Invasions that had been inflicted in turn over n line of Hamburg , Berlin , Poson , Warsaw , thence by the Rntslan troops from Alia , along the waterways of tlut continent from HindosUn , where it ap peared In 1826. It was six years infect- lug its way tome ten thousand miles , From Quebec It followed the water to Detroit and mot the United States troops going to the Black Hawk war , and in a short tlmo the entire force that went by the lakes was unfit for duty. It was do- cldod that the soldiers were Infected when being transported by the boats which had boon previously used In convoying west the emigrants who had arrived at Quebec In the ships to which reference bus been mado. From the military postal Detroit the Infection spread until it reached other posts on the headwaters of the Mississippi and thence to Now Orleans. No case of cholera had occurred In that city until after the arrival of tteamors with the In fection on board and after a number of passenger ! had died of it Within a few months thereafter 0,000 of a population of 55,000 succumbed. The only instance cf cholera in the United States this year was the case on board a ship which arrived at Nowbnry- port , Mass. , two or throa weeks ego , This vessel was promptly and effectively quarantined and no bad result has yet been noted. It is the habit whenever cholera is expected to visit the country to herald severe cases of cholera morbus as the gonulno Hlndostan article. While the peculiarities of the Fast India climate originate cholera , yet , when once import ed , local facilities in the way of filth to work on are an Important auxiliary. Sanitary science says that the canso of in dividual attack is the drinking of cholera water , that Is , water Into which cholera bacteria have found tholr way. Of course there must bo first an importation of the disease before the water can bo contami nated. Where the water la originally pure and is convoyed through close and clean pipes there Is very little danger of an extensive outbreak. Suppressing Mutiny. St. Louis Republican. William H. Lytlo , the author of the poem. "Tho Death of Anthony , " that begins "I am dying , Egypt , dying , " [ was the man for mutineers. At one time during the war I was sent under his command with sev eral pieces of light artillery , among them two or thrao howitzers , in a brigade that wont out on a raid some place near Shol- byville , In Tennessee. When we started out the wagons were used to carry the soldiers' knapsacks , etc , and when wo had gathered together what forage wo wanted the wagons had to bo used to carry It. Of conrsa the eoldlors then had to carry their baggage , and when the order was given to do this ono regiment refused to obay and taid they would not touch tholr knapsacks. Colonel Lytle marched the men over to where the knapsacks were and again ordered the men to take them up. Again they re fused. I was stationed on a little eminence a short distance away , and presently ently hero came Colonel Lytlo galloping over to mo with his sabro out and his eyes flashing. "Captain Edgartoa , " ea'.dho ' , "will you lot mo have those howitzers ? " "Certainly , " I answered , and gave the order for tie gnus to move. Coming over right In front of the muti neers , Colonel Lytlo gave the orders , "Attention ! Load with caunlstorl Take aim ! " and then in an undertone bidding the eunners await in readiness the word "fire , " spoke to the mutineers , saying : "You , take np your knapsacks , or , by God , I'll wipe you off the face of the earth ! " Not" a man in the regiment moved , and Lytlo waited folly a minute. "Now , d n you , " said Lytlo , "I'll give you ono minute to pick up those knapsack * ! " Slowly , first ono and then another , and then a third , pick ed np his knapsack , and before the mln- ntr was up there was not a piece of baggage on the ground. Why Ho was Galled "Old lilolcory. " Boston Budget , Gen. Jackson was known among the soldiers who had served under him ass "Old Hickory , " a sobriquet given 'him dnrlng the Crook war His brigade was making a forced march , without baggage or tents , to surprise the Indians in one of their villages , and were for several days - and nights cxpoeod to the pollings of a March ttorm , the rain freezing as it foil. Gen. Jaikaon got a severe cold , but did not complain , as ho tried to sleep in a muddy bottom among his half-frozen soldiers. Capt. Allen and his brother John cut down a stout hickory tree , peel ed off the bark and made a covering for the Gfneral. who was with difficulty per suaded to crawl in to It.
