The conductor and the captain of the gnnrd , composed of gov ernment scouts , took a Bland on the rearmost - most flatears and when I got a signal 1 opened the throtllo and began tn poke the blunt end of the construction train Into Hie darkness. Ordinarily I Into running bacl- vvards at night , but In n casa of this kind It Is a relief to know that there are a dozen or more well-armed soldiers between yon nnd whatever the darkness holds. Three or four men with white lights were stationed at Intervals along the tops of the ten or twelve rain that made up the train. Jho lioiiso car , nr caboose , wan next the engine nnd upon the top of this car r.tood the fore man of tin- gang nnd from him I was sup- pnsi > d to tnko my 'tokens. ' "Wo hail been In motion loss than ten inlnmcs when I saw the conductor's light ( wo were- going with the storm ) stand out , and following this movement all the llgbtH along the train's top pointed out over the plain and I began to slow down. Instantly n dozen whols were ( Ired from the darkness. Muflli'd by the Btorm , thu sound came , as If n park of firecrackers wore going oft under a dinner pall anil we all know what wo had run into 'Ii.juns , ' Hhoiited the fireman leapIng - Ing neross the gangway , 'and they're on my side ' 'Keep your scat , ' said I , 'they're on my ido too. ' HUCKINO TIIK HUCKS. "Now all the whlto lights , following an other signal from Iho conductor , began to whirl furiously In n short circle. That was my notion precisely. If they had prepared to ditch us WP might as well go In the ditch ns to remain on the tops of the cars to bo picked off by the Slonx , BO I opened the throttle and began to back away again as fast BH possible. The Indians Imd prepared to ditch our train. They had placed n great jillo of cross ties upon the track , expecting that when we struck them our train would como to a dead stop. This Hmnll party which had lln-d uron us was the outer watch , the main band being huddled about the heap of ties where they expected us to halt and where most of the amusement would occur. The track was newly laid and as billowy ns a rough sea but this was no tlmo for careful running. The oid work engine soon had the empty train going at n thirty mile gait nnd then wo bit the tic-pile. The men on the rear car , which was now thu front , hnd an ticipated a wreck nnd retired In bad order to the center of the train. The Indians , who lind only n faint notion of the power and re sistance of n locomotive , stood close to gether about the pllo of tics. The falling tinow had made the rail and timbers so wet and slippery that when wo hit the stack of wood the- ties Hew In all directions. Some of them were thrown to the to | > s of the care nnd others now Into the mob of redskins , knocking them Into confusion. A flno buck , who must have been standing on the track , was picked up In the collision nnd landed upon the top of the second car , right at the conductor's feet. The fellow was consider ably stunned by the fall , and , taking ud- vantage of Ma condition , the scouts scl/.cd and bound him with a piece of bell cord , taking care to remove an ugly knife from his rawhide bolt. The band was so surprised to j eo the train plough through the wreckage j [ , that they forgot to fire until wo had almost passed them and n great Hood of tire front | _ _ - the engine stuck was falling among them. They tln > n threw up their guns , those who were Htlll on their feet , nnd let go nt us , but tiono of the bullets affected our party. ATFACKINO THIS HOUND HOUSB. "When we had rrtichod the station , the Pawnees , who were among the. scouts , recog nized our captive at once ni Hoar Foot. t > noted and very wicked j-lilef. When the Sioux onme to himself and realize * ! that he was a captive he became furious. He surged niul strained at tlu < ijcll rope , nut It was an in vain , and finally he gave up. "When we had eaten our supper wo nil went Into the round house soldiers and all for we know the Sioux would make a desperate effort to secure their chief before the night was out. "It was long after midnight when one of the men on duty hoard a low scraping sound llko that made by a hog crawling under a gate A moment later the noire wns re peated , and when the same winnd had been licard thrco or four times , the lieutenant In command flashed a bull's-eyo lamp In the direction of the door , and the light of'it revealed three big braves standing close together , while a fourth was Just creeping In under the door. With a we-are-dlscov- cred expression the tall Indian who ap peared to be the loader glanced at his com panions. Then as though the Idea had struck nil of them nt once , they throw their guns up nnd lot go along down the ray of light nnd the lieutenant fell to the ground , severely wounded. "Appreciating the Importance of our cap ture the captain In command had set four powerful I\iwneo scouts to guard Dear Font , the Sioux chief. It was no sure thing that wo would bo able tn stand the Indians off till morning , and n.s the storm had knocked the wlrra down wo had been unable to telegraph to I.awron for reinforcements. The fact that their bravo ehle.i was himself a captive woulil Ic , rrse the wrath of the red ine-n without , ard taking oven a moderate view of the Hitiiatir.n . wo wcro In n hard hole. I. for tine , would have gladly bartered our captive and the glory of the capture away for the assurance of seeing the aun rise on th # fol lowing morning , but I dared not hint imch n thing to the captain , much Irsu to the 1'iiwneos. 1110 FOOT'S PTMSON. "Tho four Pawnees with their prisoner wore placed In the coal tank of the locomotive , while the llri'man and I occupied our plncco in the cab and kept the ntenm up to HO pounds.

CALM IlKI'OHi : TltH STOHM. "J'rMently , hearing no sound from .within , the auiicklr.n party d.M ed firing nnd began to prowl about the building In search of a weak spot through which they might ef fect nit entrance. The fate of the three early cnllcr.i who had hoRxod It under the door kept them from fooling about that trap for the remainder of the night. In n llttlo wltllo the whole place was as still ns the tomb , fitvo for the sod flutter of steam from the safety \alve of the 49. Hoar Foot knew what wan going on. Kvcn though he could co nothliiK. he knew that his faith ful followers were working for bis release , and now when all was silent he shouted from the coal tank to his braves to break j the door and come In. Hefnro the Pawnee Kcouts could pound him Into n state of quietude he had Imparted to his people the particulars of his whereaboutx , and Imme diately the whole band throw themselvee against the from of the building. "The house Inlrly trembled , the Indians surged front without nnd the great doors swayed to und fro , threatening nt any mo ment to glvo way and let the flood of blood thirsty mUVIna In upon us. " -Stnnd together , ' called the captain to his men. " Tut on the blower and get h r bet , ' I called to the flriMiian. for I know the frail structure tould not withstand the strain much longer. As often n.i the fireman j opened the furnare dour to rake his lire the ! ! glare of th'j firebox lit up the wholt Interior I and showed three dead Slotiv near the door. I One of thorn lay across Iho rail nnd I found ' , myself speculating ns to whether the pilot j I of the 13 would throw him off , nr whether I must run over him. Now It seemed that the whole band had thrown themselves ngnlnst the building , anil the yelling was deafening. Above It all I heard our cap tain shout : 'Oet ready , Frank. ' " 'I am readv. ' said I. CAUGHT IN A THAI' . " 'All right , ' said he. 'Shoot It to 'em , ' nnd I opened the Hand valves and the throttle. I have often thought what a temptation It wns for those soldiers to leap upon the engine and make their escape , but , although they all understood perfectly what was going on , .lot one of them took advantage of this 'last train nut. ' "Just as the 'Illg Hoss' moved with all her ponderous nnd almost Irroslstablo weight toward the front of the building , the double doors sagged toward me llko the head gate of n great reservoir thnt is overcharged nnd then I hit 'em. The big doors , being forord from their hinges , fell out upon the redskinw and they were caught like rats In a trap. The pilot ploughed through them , maiming nnd killing n score of them , nnd on went the 19 over the safe switches which had already been sot for her before the fight be gan. The confusion caused by the awful work of Illg Hoss. which they regarded as llttlo less thun the devil , was Increased when the Tndlnim who remained unhurt realized that the engine was making away with their chief , for he had told them.how he was held a captive 'In the belly of the big horse. ' "All effort for the capture of the round house was Instantly abandoned nnd the Sioux ns one man turned and ran after the loco motive. The captain In command of the scouts , tnklng advantage of the confusion of his foe. nnd of the fact that his force was In the dark building , while the Slonx were out upon the whitened earth , quickly massed his men at the open door and began to pour a murderously wicked fire into the balllcd Sioux , who , like foolish fnrm dogs , wore chasing the Ifl out over the switches. "AH the Indians who were crippled by the engine were promptly , and I thought , very properly , killed by the Pawnee scouts nnd the rent were driven away with fearful loss. IJIG FOOT'S I1ATH. "It was a desperately risky run from Smoky Hill to Lawrence , with no running orders and due to collide with a westbound special or any extra thnt might be coin. " nut to the rescue with n train load of ma terial , but the nfllclnls fearing that some thing might nrlso which would causa us to want to como In , bad very wisely aban doned all trains the moment the wires wont down , and so wo readied Lawrence Just before day without a mishap. "My first thought wns of our captive , Hear Foot , who had made truck laying dangerous business for our pcoplu for the past three or four weeks , but upon looking about I saw only four Pawnees , nnd concluded that the fierce fellows had killed the chief and rolled him qjf. " 'Where's Hear Font ? ' I demanded. " Here , ' said a Pawnee , who was quietly seated upon the mnti-holo of the engine tank , and he pointed down. During the ex citement In thu round house nt Smoky Hill , the Sioux had made a desperate effort to escape , and had been quietly dropped Into the tank whore he had remained throughout the entire run. "Now , Its one thing to stay In n tank thnt IK half filled with water when the engine is In her stall , and quite another thing to In habit n place of that kind when a locomo- tlvn la making a lly run over a new track. After much time nnd labor hnd been lost fishing for the chief with a clinker hook , ono of the- scouts got Into the tank , which was now quite empty , and handed Dear Foot out. " \Vhon wo had bailed him out nnd placed him along side the depot whore the sun would catch him early , the coioncr came and sat on him and pronounced him n good Indian. " CY WAH.MAN.

INDUSTRY'S ' INVITING FIELD Opportunities for t o Profitable Investment of Idle Capital A NEW ERA APPARENTLY BEGU Chenp 1'iiwr In the l-'orni of Kleetrle- ll.v , Clan unit ComiircNiril Air the Determining Knoliim 1 XOTV Vviir'.t Tha first ulno months ot the pmjcnt year Bhotv n balance of trade In favor ot this country of 4143,000,000 , ns against an ad verse balance tor the same period lant year of $ J3,000,000. Since the present gold Importa tions begun Bomethlng like $65,000,000 ban been JjrouGht lo this country nnd the amount of gold that wan hoarded agalnct the possi bility of the free coinage of silver has been variously estimated nt from flO.000,000 to $200noO,000. There Is undoubtedly n Inrge amount of Idle money nwnltlng Investment In this country , and the following Hums have been grouped up for the Information of those who have It. Tested by percentage of failures , Iho bankIng - Ing business Is the safest , as It li ono of the mortt profitable single occupations in Oils country. In the southern and wcHtern states this business Is comparatively but llttlo de veloped. Of the $ ti.500,000,000 , which In the form ot stocks , suivlus nnd depcolts , com- prho the banking capital with which thin country docs business , two-third ; ! lo held in the nine smaller elates of New Kngland , New- York , N'o.v Jersey and Pennsylvania , usually designated as the "east. " These have 03 per cent of this toial banking capital , while the remaining thirty-six stntos havu the bal ance of 37 per cent 1 per cent per state. Where Rhode Island and Maaiacuuactts have upward of | 300 per capita of banking capital , and New York $275 , equitlly rich stall's like Georgia , Alabama nnd North Carolina lina have $18 , $11 and $15 per capita. Arkan sas has $6. The slates of the west range from $20 to $00 per capita , as ngalnat an average of eight or ton times this In the cast. In n general way , therefore , It Is safe to say that Investments In bank stocks arc likely to yield u larger ivtun : throughout the west and Houth , where money is scarce and natural resources but little developed , than In the caat , whore It is plentiful. HKLICS OF TUB SOUTHERN DOOM. In the south , too , nro many manufactur ing plants roiling mills , furnaces , steel works , cotton mills and the like , thai were built In the "boom" dnys , thai are now Idle and rolling. At Mlddleboro , Ky. ( Cum berland Gap ) , It is estimated that the IJn- gllsh syndicate planted something llko $ ! " , - 000,000 , nud nt n number of other points. Fort Payne , Tallapnosa nnd olsi-whore , still other largo enterprises were put under way with disastrous results. Many of these plants can be picked up for n song or for a share In the now organization , nnd with n revival of Industry In the United States these afford many nttrncllvc features to wldc-awako business men. The Industrial development of the south , It is hardly neces sary to explain , has but Just begun , nnd with cheap lands , cheap fuel and close contiguity to the iron mines and cotton fields , this section , now thnt the boom has been utterly crushed out , offers many good ground-floor Investments. Very much the same condition obtains In many parts of the west , although not In the same degree. The collapse of the speculative- mania did not bear so hardly upon this section , nnd , broadly speaking. It is now the most prosperous section of the country. At the same time , realty prices rule low , nnd with the exception of Colorado rado , property may be had for aboul a half and sometimes a fourth what It could four years ago. ago.WATKH WATKH IS TO UK KING. Perlnps the safest Investment anywhere to bo found In this section , ns well as in the whole country. Is water power. Kuslly the most striking fact of recent Industrial progress Is the cheap production of elec tricity from waterfalls , and Its long distance transmission. At the present time thirty or forty miles Is the farthest that the cur rent has been distributed profitably , but with the rapid Improvement of the polyphase system there ! s no reason to doubt that this limit will he greatly extended , probably to ten times the distance within throe or four years. At points considerably distant from the coal fields n good head of water offers the largesl possibilities. Especially Is this true of the mountainous stales of Iho wesl. where Iho waler powers are of enormous ex tent. Hither Colorado or Montana have single-handed enough power to turn the wheels of all the industries of the United States were there no limit to economical transmission. It has been estimated by gov ernment engineers that the Grand river of Colorado , within a distance of 100 miles , would afford something like 2,000,000 horse power alone. With this cheap and elllelent agent It Is easy to see lhat the next few years will wit ness a very great Industrial development in such parts of the country ns possess this supreme advantage. Particularly It means much to the states ot the far west , which , with their enormous mineral wealth , bid fair to rival Now York and Pennsylvania as manufacturlns centers With the slncle exception of Niagara , nnd porhaia n portion of the St. Lawrence , the waler powers of Hie east are now utilized to their full capacity , and no great develop ment can bo expecled. Ilul at Great Falls. Mont. , along the Yellowstone and the Sho.s- hone at Spokane Falls , Snoqualmle Fallii , and along the smaller mountain streams of the Rockies nnd the Cascades , are millions of horse-power which can bo had almost for the harnessing. These must play an Im portant role In the Industrial development of the next ten years. In port.i.im of Norlh and South Dakota powerful artesian wells likewise afford cheap power , and the city of Austin , Tex. , has seta a remarkable example by damming the Colorado with a weir 1.000 feet long and sixty-eight feet high , costing $1,500,000 , which will develop a splendid head. At a 5 per cent Interest charge on the Invcslmenl the horse-power developed will ccsl a Iltllc more than ? 15 per year horse-power. Thia Is perhaps n third of the cast of coal power In that section. Incidentally the reduction In the cost of electrical auppllcs within the past ten years provides food for thought as to what the next decade may bring forth. At the present time $100 will buy the same goods thnt cost $1.000 ten yearn ago , and the quality and elllcloncy has likewise Improved. CiAS FOR POWER TRANSMISSION , TOO. Hut while electricity generated by water power holds so brilliant a future , It Is well not lo lose sight of the Immense Improve ment In several kindred lines. The use of coal In the form of gas or converted , by the way of the steam engine , hi to compressed air , has had a development of recent years that assures n long llfo for this article yet. The possibilities of gas power transmission are still In embryo , but It Is worthy of note thai Email thermopile generators for use over a gas Maine are now being sold thai develop a currcnl sulllelent to light a room , run fans and Iho like , nt a considerably less cost than the same amount of current can be furnished from the big generating Bta- tlniiH. Sllll again Iho Introducllon of the wonderful Welsbnch incandescent , gas light ban given ft decided setback to the advance of the Incandescent electric. Meanwhile. Just as coal gas seemed In this manner to have taken on a new lease of life , a threatening rival to both gas and electricity has appeared In the form of acetylene. Already there are six establish ments la the United .states ready to manu facture the new compound , calcium carbide , from which acetylene Is made. They prom ise to reduce Iho cost of carbide from Iho present prlec of $100 a ton to $30 or $10. or oven less , and If this Is realized thu future of acetylene as an Illumlnant seems Hiiro. YOKING ELECTRICITY AND AIR. On an opposite tide electricity hag a swiftly developing rival In compressed air. Employed for an almost Inconceivable va riety of uses at the present time. It has been found u marvelously cheap agency for power transmission. In large factories It U actually cheaper limn shafting , and li HO employed In railroad chops from Jersey City to Denver. U l dllllcult to set bounds to its usefulness when It Is distributed from largo central compressing stations llko gas , electricity nnd water th > .b now done In Paris on n large scale.Jf. , \ not Impassible that It will become rather the yokemate than the rival of clecmrlO. the latter beIng - Ing employed for long ill.iunco trantmlnslon from the waterfall , thei.culni bank or the mine mouth , nnd then converted Into com pressed air nt the point' ' of'application. . WIND AND SOLAR1 'KNOtNKS. U U rather curious that wind power should have so long remained ttntqstcd , seeing that up to fifty years ago It , was the exclusive means of propulsion nt * oh. An Interesting experiment has been tried at Marblehead Neck , Mass. , where n.i windmill has been employed to light a country eslale. The net cost of the lamps was i-onslderably less than half where coal was used , nnd they never once failed. In mountainous regions , where the winds are strong nnd reasonably steady , windmills might prove a source of amazing cheap power , and It Is hardly to bo doubted that some neglected genius will prove It. Similarly In clear sections like Now Mexico ice , Arizona nnd southern California , where the sun shines out for nt least .100 days In the year , H would peem lhat Iho solar en gine offers nn equally Interesting field of experiment. Yet another pource of cheap power Is pe troleum , which with the discovery ot the new oil fields In Colorado , Wyoming nnd around Los Angeles' , Cal. , must steadily decrease In price. It Is a valuable adjunct to manufacturing In many states , notably In Indiana , where 2,700 new wells were opened last year , while only 700 old ones failed. I hnvo dwelt on the outlook for power nt low cost because of the dominating Itillu- cnco of the latter In the shifting lines' of In dustry. With the tierce competition that now obtains In the Untied Slates the locallo-i of the sources of power ami product will be the determining factor of Industrial growth. At the present time no nation In the world carries Its freight such long distances , or pays so colossal a freight bill-as does this country. Much of Ibis Is needless nnd n heavy drain upon the pioduclng classes , the farmer and the manufacturer , ns well as upon the consumer. A POSSIHLD HOOM IN HEET SUOAU. Of Individual Industries few offer larger possibilities than beet sugar. This counlry pays out $75.000,000 to $100,000.000 a year for Imported sugars. A largo part of this goes lo Germany. The lallcr produces 1.- 250,000 tons of beet sugar a year , where this counlry produces a llttlo more than 50,000 tons. Franco produces 750,000 tons a year. In favorable sections no agricultural crop Is so profitable ns the sugar best , and n number of factories nro springing Into ex istence , the first In New York stale having Just boon Bel up. The nrice of aluminum has dropped from $ S a pound to n- > cents In ten years , and the production In this country risen from noth ing to over 1,000,000 pounds n year. A French firm promises n price * of 15 cents n pound as soon ns the-lr output reaches a certaln llgure. Such n price will bring this metal Into as wldo n use ns that of Iron nnd steel at the present time. The requisite material , bauxlto nnd clay. Is widely distributed , much more widely than Iron , and there is little doubt thnt the manufacture of aluminum will In a very few years become one of the most Important Industries of the country. The electric smelting of Iron , and steel making with a current generated from water power , now achieved 'under the De Laval ' process In Sweden , premise's with Its Intro- iliirilnn iii this country a still further cheap ening of steel , which Is even now celling at about one-fifth what It did thirty years ngn. What Edison Is able 10 drt with his mag netic ore separator roirialns'to be seen. OUR UNTOUCHED MINERAL RICHES. The development of the mineral wealth of this country is , nt a conservative estimate , not half begun. Wyoming and Colorado seem likely to prove richer than Pennsylvania , and even Washington Kxpects to bo a large producer of steel , as It'now-supplies the Pa cific const with coke and ; coal. In widely distributed parts ot the country arc many of the lesser known , but not lw valuable mln-rals , manganese and cliromo-lron , sul phur , rock salt , phosphate , borax nnd gyp sum , asbestos , mica nnd potnsh. All of thcBo are valuable where found In quantity. In New Mexico are mines of turquoise nnd tn Idaho of-'opals , nnd In Arizona , which Is ono of the richest sections of the union. Is the wonderful Chalcedony park , the petrified tre'es of which are now made Into polished shapes for decorative purposes. There , too. are to bo found onyx , and lithographic and many other curious hinds of stono. Wood pulp Is now made up Into the most astonishing variety of fabrics from window- glass and paving blocks to silk drcyees. In the wst. notably In Washington and Oregon , are o"ormous areas of fine timber which cnn bo had at an exceedingly low price. They are a safe speculation , because there Is little danger of forc t fires , and Ihelr vnlue Is In creasing rapidly. To the Investor In real cs'ato the facts adduced thus far will be Instructive In de termining where to seek profitable property.

The members of Iho orders appeared lo be more desirous of quietly celebrating the evening by their own Ilrcxldes than In attending Christina ? entertainments and dances In the- lodge rooms. As a consequence there were but few affairs of any sort upon Christmas eve. A few entertainments were given and a few dances were enjoyed , but the majority of the halls were dark. The same quietude existed In the business section of the orders. There was too much holiday anticipation lo allow the transaction ofmuch business. Such lodges ns held their regular mtotlngs on Thursday nights , of which there are many , did not have any meetings because It wns Christmas eve. As n consequence tlie week was rather sc.int of secret society news. An event of great Importance that Is to como will occur January 7 , when Oronhyntekha , the bead olllcer of tlio In dependent Order of Foresters , will visit this city for the purpose of organizing a state conn of the order. This man , a full-blooded Indian. Is famous , not only In secret society circles , but nlso In the literary world. Ills visit will be nn honor to the cily. On the ovnilng of the same day he Is to make nn address In lloyd's theater upon fraternal orders , which will undoubtedly be listened to by a goodly portion of fraternal men In the city , without regard to the orders to which they belong. The local foresters are making every effort lo make thu occasion n great success. Million ! \ViMMliucn of Anicrlon. Past Venerable Consul Walter F.
