About the middle of this month three pretty Indian girls , Rosa , Reno , nnd Carrie Bluejacket , will arrive In Chicago cage to furnish music at the Indian con gress to bo hold nt the World's fair. These young .Indies nro remarkably talented vocalists , their gift having been discovered by the merest accident. A llttlo more than ten years ago n travel ing musician was passing an Indian's farm house in the wilds of the. northwestern - * orn corner of the Indian Territory. PlayIng - Ing out under the trees were three dusky- fu'jcd girls. Ho stopped his hor6eleand ever the fence and watched them. The oldest had scarcely soon n dozen sum mers. She was drumming 'On an old wagon seat that had been turned ever to servo as nn Imitation piano. Her sisters were singing to the weird accompaniment. The long black hair of the three children was loose and flowed about them in the wind. Oblivions to the presence of the stranger the children continued their concert. The melody delighted the listener , who could not leave the scene. At lost , when the music was ended , the three tots icamporcd into the house. The stranger followed them Inside. Ho found that they were the daughters , Rosa , Rcna and Carrie , of a Cherokee Indian named Stephen Blnojaukot. The musician told the mother of the charm of their voices , and advised her to send them to some town where they could receive musical instruction. The parents , who are intelligent nnd pro gressive , followed the stranger's advice , und moved to Vinitn , I. T. There the girls' voices attracted the attention of Uov. D. N. Allen , the Presbyterian mis sionary. Ho extended to them the facil ities of his choir instruction , and soon they became known throughout the Indian Territory. The novelty nnd richness of their singing at tracted visitors to the llttlo church from nil parts of the tor rltory. The cowboys that had known them when they wore little cnmo from miles around to hear their voices. Ono of the most interesting conversions ever recorded in the west was indirectly duo to the Indian girls' singing. Hank Wat son wns known all over the territory as a bad man. livery effort had been made by his friends to reform him , but ho Boomed incorrigible. In a little town near Vinita ho had terrorized the inhab itants all of ono Thursday and Friday night. Saturday night he had calmed down enough to take some sleep. Early Sunday morning ho was up nnd out on the quiet street. Ho was in an ugly mood and trouble seemed certain. "Got him ever to Vinita , " a citizen whispered to Ilunk's best friend. "All right , I'll try , " was the reply. Down the street came Hank on his pony , a wicked gleam in his eye. His friend ingeniously got into a dis cussion with him about the relative their "To settle I'll speed of horses. it , race you to Vinita , " ho said. "If I wir vou must go to Mr. Allen's church.1 This proposition struck Hank favorably. nnd soon the match was made. Hani had the hotter pony , but ho had worn it ouUduring the previous day's ' carouse and ho was beaten to Vinita. Ho stood by the promise , and when Mr. Allen looked ever his congregation in one of the rear seats ho saw the ' 'Ter ror of the Plains. " Hank was uneasy but when the Misses Bluejacket rosp to sing in the choir ho was all attention. Before the service wns over Watson was a changed man. Ho came back to the evening service , nnd eventually became converted. Ho always attributed his change of heart to the influence exerted unon him by the singing of the Indian girls. Last fall Miss Sickles had occasion to visit the Indian nations in the interest of the Indian congress at the World's fair , and of the committee of which she is chairman. She went to Vinita and visited Mr. Allen's church on Surylay. Hearing there those marvelously rich solos and duets from the black haired choir , she secured the three girls' pres ence at the Press Club fair during last May , where they delighted all who heard their fresh young voices. Rosa , the oldest , is 22 years old. She plays the accompaniments. Rena , who has n very sweet and strong soprano , is 20 , while Carrie , whose alto has won for her the sobriquet of "tho Indian Scalchi , " is two years younger. Miss Carrie has also the purest of Indian features , and her beautiful profile real izes all that is lovely in the painter's conceptions of Pocahontas. Tlin Hitler Hoiiiu nt 1'ntyer. "Speaking of Edwin Booth , " said an old lady too Now York Times , "re minds mo of a story my husband used to toll of a memorable encounter with the older Booth. Ho ( my husband ) was traveling on horseback through the south before our marringo when strsss of weather made him take refuge in the homo of the great actor. Ho wai en sconced in the guest chamber for the night and was just dropping of to sleep as his unlocked door slowly opened. Ho started up to see his host enter bearing aloft a candle tlmt cast a sickly ray across the bed. Advancing with meas ured tread ho asked in a low , deep voice : f " 'Have you prayed tonight1 'Tlio guest admitted that his devo tions had been missed. " 'Rit-o , kneel by that bedside , and say the Lord's prayer , ' was the next speech. Impressed by his manner , my husband tumbled out of bed , fell on his knees and repeated the words of the prayer. ' "Ijthat all you make out of the grandest utterance in literature ? ' cried Booth. "And ho dropped upon his knees , put his palms together , and then , > nj hus band used to say , in a voice of faurpnss- ing strength and melody , began his sup plication , giving to the familiar son- toniles sucn depths of eloquence and such richness of meaning as they had never possessed for him before.

Sentenced to Death for"Murder , rnntoneil nml IlAnliliml Aftk * Thirty-Four Yenrs H i Secnr it n Uehenr- Ine of HI * On the 12th of November next a deposi tion will bo tnkcn In the oflleo of Attorney C. L. Hotto , In this city , which \vlll reopen a case that many .years ago startled nil of Europe. The testimony will bo given by a min who , moro than thirty-four years ngo , stood before the bar of. justice to answer for the crime of munior. The man was con victed , sentenced to death by decapitation , had his sentence commuted to Imprisonment for life , and finally nt the expiration of twelve years was pardoned by the king , ban ishment from Germany being ono of the con ditions of the pardon , says the Cleveland , O. , correspondent of the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. The man thus sentenced , pardoned nnd banished let : Germany at once , spent a short tlmo In Detroit , a year or so in Chicago cage nnd then came direct to Cleveland , hav ing lived hero over slnco. Ho had but ono aim , but ono ambition in lifo , to clear his reputation and gooa natno nnd bring those to justice whom he had regarded as his ene mies and porsocutcrs. Being poor nnd friendless ho realized that In order to accomplish his ends ho must ac quire wealth , for with all duo respects to the lady with a handkerchief tied around her eyes nnd n pair ol old fashioned scales In her hands , Justice , though Immaculate , Is mighty expensive , and n poor young man banished from his homo across the water , could scarcely hope for justice with all the judicial machinery of a power like Germany against him. Soliubcr'n Ambition. The young man's same was John Schaber. Ho came to Cleveland twenty years ago , friendless nnd without monoy. lie opened a picture frame manufactory in a small way. His business Increased from year to year , and for some years past the linn has been known as Schaber , Uolnthal & Co. , molding and picture frame .manufacturers , from 'JC > 3 to yOo Spring street , In busy times some 300 men are employed In the concern , nnd it is ono of the largest manufactories of the Kind In the United States. John Schaber Is nt the head of the llrm and for many years pasl has been devoting his time anil money to secure n now trial. The goal of his ambition has almosCbccn reached , for a now trial is one of the events of the near future. The story of the murder , trial , conviction and sentence reads llko a romance. It is llko a page torn from the talcs of horror of the dark ages nnd in this ago and country it seems incredible that men whose object seems to bo justice should no torture their victim as to put to stiamo the Spanish In quisition. The incidents that led up to the crime for which John Schaber suffered are as follows : > Prologue nl the Stoiy , In Juno , 1859 , a number of .young nion of the village of Happenback , Wurtomburg were lined In the adjoining villaco of Unter Ilcinrioth for making night hideous. This was the origin of the trouble. One nlghl Schaber , then aboui J years of ago , visitei his girl , Christine -Karle , and , 'returning homo late , came across jtho young men , who were evidently undottho influence ot drink nnd acted in a disgraceful manner. A village pollccmr.n , afraid to attaok and arrest the superior porior number , took ypipig Schaber's name , nnd the next day the disturbers'of the peace wore arrested and fihdd.-.voung Schaber Invol untarlly appearing as ; witness against them A few weeks later Schaber and his girl took a walk to a to\vn named Helloronn ; On the return journey they stopped nt n place callec Uruppcnbach , had some wine at the Inn am resumed their journey. The village of Hap- peubach , the homo of the young men who were fined , is half way between Gruppon- bach and Hcinrioth , nnd at the Happenbach inn they mado"anothor stop , where they met a young man named George Eckstein. In the inn the Karle girl entertained a young man from Grupp nbach , arousln ? the demon jealousy in the breast of young Schabor. Ho drank wlno to excess , and while tno wlno was getting the best of him , Eckstein hur ried m and informed him that the young men against whom ho had testified tvcro waiting in the roadway to "do him up. " In the darkness of the night Schaber , Eckstein and the girl left the inn , and , after having walked a short distance , the wlno tfverpow- orod Schaber , and he stretched himself upon the ground. While his two companions were making an effort to ralso him , a young man named Christian Weber came down the hill and excitedly informed Schabor that H llttlo further up the roadway several young men were watting for him , armed with limbs of trees. This so enraged Schabor 'that ' ho jumped to his foot , and , taking hold of Weber's arm , exclaimed : "Show them to me ! Show mo where they nro I" Itemilt of the right. Wobordld as directed , and Schabor fol lowed him , brandishing a pocket knlfo and making threats. Arriving nt the place desig nated by the guide two young men Jumped from ambush. In the meantime they were followed by Eckstein and the girl , and while the latter two and Weber were engaged in quarreling with the two young men , Schaber ran ahead to look for the rest of the gang , Ho found them , and ran upon thorn with the words : "So you fellows want to whip uie , do you ? " Scarcely were these words uttered before they felled Schabor to the earth with the limbs of the trees oacl ) carried. Ho quickly recovered , however , and with knlfo In hand went for them. At the same moment ho felt that his arms were held fast by Eck stein , nnd the attacking party beat a retreat. Returning to the roadway ho found Miss Karlo , Weber anil ono of the attacking party , a young man of 17 named Frlcderieh Fooll. Ho toi-o himself loose from Eckstoln und made nn attempt to attack Foell , who lied down the roadway in the direction of Hap- pcubach. Schaber followed him , soon lost the trail , however , nnd returned to the Hap- pcubach Inn. Ho fell asleep In the inn , Miss Karle bathed his wounds and as ho awoke from his stupor found that Eckstoln had left the inn. A long time elapsed and after Eckstoln roturncd'thby ' all went home , It Wus n Tragedy. It developed later , , that the young tnan Foell was munlorqj some llttlo distance from the scone of , fo ) ) fight described above. For some days ho.wis not missed , because it was supposed his aUscnco was duo to u fear of the law for being ono of the attacking party , Schaber intended to swear out war rants against the \'bung ' men , but an Inter mediator nppeareiTAnd ho accepted 17 Hoi-ins from the young fellows , thus settling the trouble out of court , , .Eckstein wanted n part of the money , but hqiabor refused to give it up , and after tha thp relations between the two friends becamfl strained. Less than a weeiciiter , July 2 , the mur dered body of Fooi\jvus \ found , wltli skull crushed and mutilated with seven knife and other wounds. 'JL'ho body was discovered sorno little dlsUuc(5r/rom the nceno of the light , concealed Among the tall corn. It then dawned upon Schnber that perhaps he was really responsible for the young man's tragic death. Ho brooded over the matter , appeared before the judge of Weinsbcrfj . and told him IhQ story of the light. A pre limlnary examination wui held , Schabui WUB arrested July 4 , charged with the crlmi of murder and bound over to the court al Hollbronn. Eckstein was alsu arrested as Schaber's accomplice. August Kekstoln made a confession , but Schabor persistently declared his Innocence. MontlK or Torture , Young Schaber soon found himself' In ; vermin-Infested cell 1 the prison at Hell bronn. Days and weuks passed. Ho nskei for an investigation in vain , and ono day tin , inquisitor , who Investigates crimes , a mat n named Buchcr , appeared lu his coll. Schabo : nn made his statements and Hucher Uoclarot ill them all to belles. Hu'cherlutormndBchabo that Eckstein ImduUobnenarrested chargc 3d < with the sutuo crlmo , and that ho ha id < made full confession Implicating Schabor. This astonished Schabor , Inasmuch AS ho knew that ho hod committed no crlmo In common with Eckstein , and that ho had never inspected Ecititoln of being responsible for Fooll's de h. For hours Duchor stood before Schaber In his efforts to force a confession from him , heaped nil torts of epithets upon htm , and thoroughly convinced of the unthtthfulncss of Eckstein's confession , Schaber demanded that ho bo given an opportunity to meet him fnco to faco. Handcuffs were placed upon Schabor , and Eckstein , also securely handcuffed , walked into the door. The moment ho entered Schabor exclaimed : "Can you truthfully say that I killed the boy with yout" and Eckstein replied : "They'll soon tell you nil about It. " Led back to his prison'Schaber said : "If Eckitcln really made that confession ho alone must be the guilty ono for I have tlono nothing of the sort. " At subsequent hear ings Schaber made the same statement to Uuchcr. By and by a second moot ing was arranged between the two men charged with the bloody deed. Eckstein sat upon a chair next to Buchcr , nnd Schabor. chained and hand cuffed , stood ou the opposlta ildo of the room , when Eckstein told the story of the murder In detail , liuchor's next object waste to wring A confession from Schaber. Ho made htm maiiy visits In his cell , and on ono occasion Schabor , chained and handcuffed , was compelled to stiihd seven long hours , while Uuchcr piled him with question ! nnd swore nt him. Upon the table near by was the grinning skull of the murdered boy. Uueher asuoa the accused to go to the table nnd fairly shrieked the words : "Hero , gnzo ntyour'victlm. you uianslaycrl" Saying so ho took Schaber's head into his hands and rubbed his face upon the .skull. For months these scenes were repeated In the torture chamber , and thus wearied and harassed death seemed a welcome relief , so ono day ho finally consented to sny : "If I must confess , driven to It by thcso tortures , then everything that Eckstein si\ys regard ing the murder is true. " The next day , however , after having recovered to u degree from the tortures Indicted upon him , ho re called his confession , but the examination was declared to bo at an end nnd the prlsouor was removed to Ludwlgsburg to bo tried by Jury , , Ills Murder Trial. The trial was the sensation of the day throughout Germany , and young Schabor's father retained Attorney RecHor of Stutt gart to defend him. Schabor's plea was not guilty. Tlio Jury remained out two hours , returning with a verdict of guilty , commend ing the two accused to the murcy of his majesty the king. The sentence of death by beheading followed shortly after the verdict of guilty. This sentence was , however , commuted to solitary Imprisonment for life , After passing a short tlmo in prison Schaber was advised to usk the king for pardon , but refused , Inflating that ho was Innocent. Ho made every effort imaginable , however , to secure a now trial , und every time ho was refused. Even his own parents , to whom ho had written for attorneys , were Intimidated into refusing the request. Ho then made un effort to smuggle a petition to the king by a discharged prisoner , but the prisoner betrayed him and "surrendered the petition to the prison authorities , who inter cepted it. The result was that for eight days ho was kept in a dark dungeon , chained to the wall , and subsisted on bread nnd water. Other similar ami even worse nun- ishmcnts wore Inflicted for further attempts to secure a now trial , and oven corporal punishment was resorted to. 1'arilanocl by the Ten years went by In that manner and at the expiration of that time ho was plvcn to understand that a plea for pardon to the king would bo successful. Eckstein took advantage of the offer nnd -was pardoned , but Schaber still refused to ask for pardon for n crime , of which ho was innocent. Finally at the expiration of two more years his spirits wfro so. completely shattered that he wrote to the king asking for pardon , which was granted on condition that ho leave the country , the same .condl- t'.ons bcin ? " imposed on Eckstein , and both emigrated" America , Eckstein having preceded Schaber two years. Unhappy was the fnto of Schaber's three worst enemies. Eckstoln was sued for di vorce by his wife , the divorce was granted , ho remarried , and four weeks after his mar riage , about a year ago , ho died. In July , 18UO , Attorney Becher. who betrayed trayed his client , Sclwlwr , died , un the fate of Inquisitor Buchor was oven worsn. In 1801 ho WHS removed to an asylum for the insane , but was dis charged us cured. About that tlmo Schaber published a statement of his case , giving his defense in detail , Ono of them was sent to the government and Buchcr was asked to make a reply to it. This ho did. and about six weeks ago the minister of justice asked him to resign. The last heard from Fredorlch Klomm , the principal witness for the prosecution , ho was a Mothodlst minister in Germany , and not long since Schnber sent ; u latter across the water insisting that he bo arrested on the charge of perjury. The same statement which apparently caused Buchcr's downfall was scattered broadcast throughout Gorminy and caused no llttlo excitement. Many papers made comments , and ono ot them , published in Stuttgart , known as the Scnwaobischer Tag- wacht , not only published the statement In full , but enthusiastically championed Scha ber's cause. The paper was at once confis cated by the government and the editors ar rested for libel on German justice. Schaber. just as determined tc stick by his friends as to punish his enemies , insisted on paying nil the expenses of the libel suit. KLEUTltW.lL XOTJIS. Local telegrams nro now transmitted through pneumatic tubes In most of the principal cities of Great Britain. At present about llfty miles of such tubes are In opera tion , requiring an aggrceato of 40a-horso power and transmitting a dully average of 103,000'messages , or30,000,00 ( ) annually. It is announced that the Now York , Now Haven & Hartford Hallroad company has decided to follow the example of the Penn sylvania railroad , and erect along its entire system u line of long' distance telephone poles with which to transact its business be tween important points. It Is figured that there will bn big economies in substituting the telephone for the telegraph. A party of eastern capitalists , said to have so mo connection with the bant a Fo railroad I system , has been visiting the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river for the purpose of in vestigating the feasibility of laying nn elec tric cable 500 miles In length along the river with" which to urivo small steamers up through the Black Canyon and other sccnlo points , where the cliffs , over a mlle In height , overhang the stream. Power is to bo gener ated by water wheels driven by the current of the river itself , or wherever feasible the water will bo diverted Into canals cut in solid granlto walls and dropped into the riyor again. An Interesting example of electricity as applied to farm work Is now In operation ut a ScoU-h farm. Tno whole of the usual farm machinery , such as threshing , sowing , corn threshing and the llko. are hero driven by nn electric motor.

STABBED HIM IN THE SIDE Dick Pnyno'i Knife Covered with the Blood of James Holmes. * SERIOUS QUARREL BETWEEN COLORED MEN Crloi for MprojOrretvd nltli Another Plunge of Rtecl I'oj-no Kicupod Ucnr Blurted In n anmbltni ; House with roMtbtjr 1'Htal Itosulta. There was murder In Dick Payne's heart last night when lie made nn assault upon James Holmes with a long , sharp-bladod knife. The assault was committed on Twenty- fifth street near N , at South Omaha , just back ot the World'a Fair saloon about 8 o'clock In the evening. Holmes , who Is jani tor In Tom Hock's saloon , had Just como out of that place nnd crossed the street when hemet mot 1'ayno. As ho stepped up on the walk Payne said , "You , yeT have been talking about mo und I'm goln1 to got oven. " An ho snoko ho whipped out an ugly kulfo and made a Blush nt Holmes , striking him just under the right oyo. Holmes s rane back , but as ho moved I'ayno followed up and mado. another dlvo at him with the knlfo , this tlmo planting the weapon In his right sldo. Holmes cried out for Payne to let up , as he was killing him , and at this Payne again plunged the long blade into his body. Thli wound was Just below the heart and came within an ace of causing instant death. After this thrust Payne dashed up the alley and got away. Holmes fell to the sidewalk bleeding and faint. The police were soon on tno sccno and convoyed Holmes to the police station , whore Dr. Slubaugh dressed the injured man's ' wounds. As soon us this wns none ho victim was taken to his homo on Twenty- oventh street , between L nnd M. Mrs. lolmes was sent for while the doctor was dressing the 'gashes , as it WAS al first bought the man would die before any as sistance could bo rendered. His chnnccs for recovery uro still very doubtful. I'ayne Will llo Cnpturcct Holmes and Payne had a row In Deavur's gambling house a few nights ugo when Payne was knocked down. Ho swore that ho would lave revenge , and since then has been hcar < l to make the remark that he had "a nigger to kill. " Ho showed the same knife ho used on Holmes to a man on Saturday night , nnd said that ho was going to carve Holmes with it. The original row , it is said , wus over a game of craps. Both men are colored. Holmes has been employed by Tom Hock for a long time , und bears the reputation of being a peaceable nltlr.cn , Payne was em ployed ns nn ash wheeler at Curtahy's. Ho Is said to bo a bad man , and the report is that ho was run out of Lincoln for "chowing up" a man in bad shapo. Payne was seen by a colored man two hours after the assault. Ho asked the fel low to go and got his clothes. The man w ; s so frightened that ho told the police , and Captain Austin at once laid a plan to capture him. . The gash on Holmes' eye Is not serious , but the slashes on his side .and breast nre ugly ones. One of them Is over three Inches Jong und very deep. At 1110 : o'clock Payne was captured at Twenty-fifth and M streets und tulten to Jail. "REMEMBEK OUSTER. " llocollcctlons ol ° WmuiiliMl Knee A MOIIU inunt Krcctoil. At Port Biloy next Tuesday n monument ment to the United States soldiers killed at Wounded Knee in December , 1800 , will bo unveiled. The ceremony will have more signillcnueo than occasions of this sort are wont to have. The battle ol Wounded Knee , says the Kansas City Journal , is the hut light that has taken place in the United States between the Indians and the regular troops. It may K ° on record as the last Indian war in this country after a deaiil- tory conllict between whites and reds lasting for 400 years. In that long span thousands of lives hnvo gene out in In dian warfare. There have been massa cres , long wars , assassinations , bloody butcheries nil manner of conllict has marked the advance of midurn civiliza tion against the aborigine. Twenty-four United States soldiers were killed at Wounded Ivneo , S. D. , on Monday , December 0 , 181)0. ) The battle was the culmination of an extended dis til r bunco among the Indians about Pine Hid go and Stand ing Rock. Old Sitting Bull , the wily chief who lind so many times promised to bo n good Indian , grew eurly and threatened to gather his warriors and go to the Bad Lands to begin a winter's campaign ngninst the settlors. Trouble browbd nil through -tho early part of December , but until the middle of the month no serious out break was expected by those of the whites who know the habit and disposi tion of. the Sioux. On December 15 Sit ting Bull agnin announced that ho was nbaut to load the warriors away from ; ho agency. Fearing that ho meant to put his threat into execution , the Indian police were ordered to capture the aged Jliief. They proceeded to do their duty and a skirmish followed , in which Sitting Bull was killed. The news of the chief'H death nnd the murmur of it served to inllamo the Sioux nation and much war talk resulted. AtVush - ington , however , the old Indian lighters thought that the death of the principal chief would jmt an end to the troubles. Out in the bleak hills of South Dakota the war spirit of the Sioux was growing. The death of the old chief found the young braves nerved up to a btrugilu against the whites , ' and only a word was necessary to name a now Icudot und continue the work ot agitation. Th < llamo was fanned until the aloHing days of the month , when the battle o. Wounded Knee began. and ended the war. war.On that day the aroused Sioux at tacked the Catholic mission at I'inc Hidgo agency. The .Seventh cavalry ar rived in time to engage the Indians , and 1 a terrific encounter on.-mcd. Botweun seventy-live nnd 100of the redskins were killed , and twenty-four United HtntcH soldiers wore counted among the doud 1 ufter the lifht was at nn owl , Anvinu the Sioux leaders were High Hawk , Lit tle Wound , Big Hond , Two Strike. ! , Fire Lightning , YoungManAfraidofIIis - Horses and Spotted Kile.

They lived there , and It was from that plnco that they wont off into the Dakota hllla to fight the red skins in the snow of a December oven- ing. Fitting it Is thnt under the shade of Fort Hlloy should be n shaft to the memory of those brnvo Indian flghtera.
