( Special. ) The popocratlc statesmen who arc making claims of having saved largo sums of money for the benefit nf the stoto have Issued a cir cular In which the appropriations of the legislative sessions of 1895 and 1897 urn placed In parallel columns , to show that the republican legislature was more ex travagant nnd wasteful of the state money. In this circular the popocrats purposely neglect to state that the session of 1895 had some extraordinary appropriations to make. and they also fall to state that the present 8tate < odklals drew upon the appropriations of 1895 until September 1 , 1S9T , and that there was still n largo amount unexpended that lapsed to the treasury. There Is not the slightest doubt that the $7.1,023.97 that remained unexpended on the 1st day of September , 1S97 , Is Included In the prepos terous sum the popocrats claim to have "saved. " The legislative 'rcsslon of 1895 made ap propriations amounting to a total of $2,781- CSI.60. Of this. $250,000 went to the drouth sufferers , $21,618.75 was for the fees In the maximum rate cases , $27,588. 11 ! was for de ficiency claims , and $180,101.75 to reimburse the state for the money lost In the Capital National bant ? failure. Ilesldes these extra ordinary appropriations , the legislature of 1895 provided for the construction of new buildings nnd repairs erual | to the appro priations made by the 1897 session.

And In spite of th's ' scheme to "save money" some of the state institutions are sure to run short of funds before the -next appropriation Is available- In April , 1899. A perusal of the books shows some particularly Interesting figures regardIng - Ing the penitentiary , which the popocrats have , been claiming to have made "self- sustaining. " The records show that while the Institution was "sustaining" Itself since January 1. 1897. it has drawn $37.702.44 from the state treasury and Is drawing at the present tlrao at the rate of $1,500 per month.

REALISTIC SHAM BATTLE BY THE INDIANS iTorlfl < < i Itrnrnr StnnilInK Kile Ho- nult In thp Annihilation of the DnUotn Warrior * Vndcr Gom- < o-AVnr' i Lrndr-rnhlp , Although they were only playing a part , there were scenes and Incidents at the In dian camp yesterday afternoon that stirred the blood of many of the old warriors and made them live over the days of their youth when their tribes were at war with one an , other. While It was only a nilralc affray , to some ' of the old-timers , it was so real that frequently they almost ! forgot themselves and threatened to turn fun Into earnest. It was a sham battle between Indians and it was a glorious success In every particular. It was an event In the history of the ex position , wherein 100 Sioux warriors were pitted against dotlbto their number , and while they were not victorious , they fought like demons and caused many a red man to blto the dust before they were completely annihilated. All of yesterday the Indians at the expo sition had been preparing for the battle. They were given > lo understand that It would be a fight between the Sioux on one side and the allied forces on the other. The early part of the day they devoted to paintIng - Ing their ponies all of the colors of the rain bow. This having been accomplished , they next ) turned their attention to themselves , and when they were ready to appear upon the battle Held , In color , most of them re sembled a crazy quilt. They were painted all colors and shades and disfigured with all kinds of designs and as they were nearly naked , It was not n difficult matter to ob serve the effect secured by the brush. During the afternoon the Sioux selected Gocs-to-War as their chief to lead them Into the fight , while Knows-No-Fear. a Ponoa , was designated as the commander of Che allied forces , with each of the thirty other tribes having Its own officer In charge. These Indians got out and practiced their men , telfing them Just what to do , after which they all returned to their camps to await ! tbo signal for participating In the fight. Uxplnln Their IMnii of CninunlKii. Just before G o'clock Gocs-to-War nnd Knows-No-Fear , arm In arm , walked out Into the center of the grounds and uttered three long-drawn war whoops , which echoed and reverberated over , around and across the grounds. A moment later Indians decked In feathers , war toggery and paint emerged from rhe tepees and hurried to the spot . where the chiefs were standing. These j chiefs explained that the battle was to be I for the amusement of the whites and that vhlle It would be In fun , It was the Inten- 'lon to make everything appear as natural and real as possible. They were told that . Sioux was to be captured and tied to the take , that he was to be rescued by his associates , who would drive off tbe allied orces. That the Sioux would capture a number of prisoners , torllire some and kill thers. and that eventually they would be swept off the face of the earth. After this word had been passed along the Ino the Indians were allowed to retire to heir tepees , where they remained a short L line. A party of Sioux congregated over n the vicinity of the Indian store and after calling the roll , discovered that one of their number , Standing , Ek | , had disappeared and 1 lad not been soon since morning. Just at his time White Buffalo came riding up and eported that Standing Erk had been cap- ured by n big war party that was In hid- ng down In the vicinity of the big trees n the west end of the lot. Goes-to-War nskcd his men what they thought of thar. ' They nil In one voice declared they would iavo the life blood of the man who had captured Standing Elk. That settled It and Goes-to-War could not have prevented the fight If he had felt so disposed. As the battle was only to be a show , tribe after tribe rode up to the grand stand In Front of the Indian congress , where Store keeper Heggc performed the social functions and Introduced the chiefs , as wcfl as fell ing to what tribes the Indians belonged. This little sldo p'fay having been disposed of ev erything was ready for the battle and the stuff was off. War songs set to the most dls- rsal tunes were turned loose from all partS'Of the grounds , while the Sioux , mounted and on foot took up their position over In the east end of the lot , driving the spectators , of which there were 15,000 , close up against the ropes. HnvlitK I'nil iv I 111 n Prisoner. Like a whirlwind they rrde down through the grounds to the central portion , where Standing Elk was discovered bound hand nnd foot and tied to an electric light pore. Not knowing what the Indians who were around him , singing and dancing , Intended to do , they stopped and waited a few min utes. During this brief Interval , Afraid- of-Hls-Tracks walked up to Standing Elk and throwing dirt In his face , called him a coward. Standing Elk was not In a posl- tlon to resent ) the Insult , but he begged to be let loose , saying that If the thongs were cut. Inside of five minutes he could whip Afraid- of-Hls-Tracks and all of his greasy asso ciate ? . No one seemed willing to give Standing Elk the chance , but they kept ity right on having fun with him. They ; taunted him , threw dust In his eyes , cafled him a squaw , said that ho would even chop wood nnd carry water. Standing Elk waited and tried to break away , but ie ropes were too strong and ho couldn't do a thing but wait for an opportunity to get ) even , which opportunity came later on. Having had all the fun they couH with the man who had been doomed to die nl ibn stake. Yellow Eagle said It was time fa get , down to business. All of the other Indians howled their approval nnd Comca-a-Rui- nlng , who Is Just out of the hospital , was deputized to get things ready for thn fry- Ing. Ho huetled out under a tree and gath ered up n lot of straw , which he brought In and scattered around Standing Efk and the post to which he was tied. Then there was another dismal song , after which the match was applied. The flames caught the dry straw and leaped Into the air , while Jumps- Hlgh-ln-the-AIr walked up to Standing Elk , twisted his nose and called him a 'coward. All this time "the flames rolled on. " but In less time than it rakes to tell It. they stopped their rolling. From the east came a dark cloud. As neared It was discovered that It was a body ( of Sioux warriors. They swooped down upon the band around the warrior who was tied to the stake. There was a clash of arms and then a heavy firing of rifles which con tinued for fifteen minutes. At the end of this time and after the smoke had cleared away It was seen that some forty Indians had been killed or wounded , a score cap- tured'and Standing Elk leaning over Jumps- ) just ready to Hlgh-in-lheAlr. apparently plunge a knife Into his heart. Flnnl Hoitt of tlir Sioux. The Sioux made short work of the wounded. They put them to death by toma hawking them and then tearing off their ccalpB. Tbo captives were bound to the nearest electric light ; poles and straw piled high about them. Around the poles the Sioux danced and bowled , while the squaws , who had fol.'oucd tbe party In , joined In the chorus and ground out the most blood curdling music that has been heard In this part for many days. The torch was applied tx > the piles of straw and just ns the flames were getting uncomfortably close to the men who were tied , Knowg-No-Fear came riding back with his entire party. He threw out a line of skirmishers and then ur- 01re rounded the Stoux with tils command , havIng - Ing them as sure to rights as though they had been rats la a trap. The Sioux fired right and left , but while they were not outclassed , they were outnum bered , and as each volley was fired Into their ranko , they went down like ripe grain tlb before < the reaper. While Vhe alfied forces wre kllllug and scarping Sioux , a party was releasing the captives who had commenced tc think that they were not to be In nt the tck kllllDE. They were , however , and toinihawk Ir hand , the men wrought great havoc Irai among the wounded , It being estimated that they put twenty Sioux to death. The Sioux were given a chance to surren der , but ! knowing that surrender meant death at the stake , Gocs-to-Wor rallied his war- rlon about him and entrenching themselves behind the little trees that grow about the wafer tank In tbo center of the grounds , fought until tbe last man fell , either klllexl or wounded , ho being the las t to go down. Strange to relate , when the allied forces went around to put the wounded to death and perform the scnlping net , none of them mutilated the body of Goes-to-War. they regarding him too brave a man lo be subfl Jcctcd to such treatment even after death , The pretended killing of Goes-to-Wnr ended the battle and ns all of the ammunl- tlon had been shot nway. the Indians passed before the levlcwlng stand , bclug cheered loud nnd long , after which they hied themselves - selves to their tepees , washed off the paint , pulled off the war bonnets , and a few min utes later , emerged , dressed In the clothes of everyday Indians or the suit peculiar to the average citizen , feeling that they had given the public a good show. ( iUIlOMMO AM ) HIS lilt.\\13S IIKIIH. FnmuuH Ainifhr Terror IIviulN 11 I.IIIIK I'rorrxnloit of Warrior * . Travelers who happened to bo at the Union station yesterday noon were treated to a novel sight. The noon express from the west on the Rock Islaud conveyed a camp of American Indians , fresh from the tepcca and lodges of the Fort Sill military reservation. The exposition was their destination. There were Chcycnncs , Arapn- I j hoes and Wlchltas , Apaches , Klowns and I ! Chlrlcahuas ( and for two hours they bivouacked | In true Indian fashion on the j station platform while their accoutrements were beinc loaded on wncons and carted I nway. There were copper-skins represent ing every decree nnd condition of Indian life , every stage of civilization , from the erudite John Smith , nttlred lu a worn but up-to-date frock coat , who teaches In the government schools , down to old Geronlmo , the grizzled old terror of the whole south west , garbed In beaded buckskin , grotesque blankets , feathers and warpaint. They Jab bered and crlnned and kept sharp lookout to see that none of the crowd stole their trappings for keepsakes , while several hun dred spectators looked on with Interest. There were 125 of them nil told. Six nre enlisted government scouts , twenty-two nre prisoners of wnr under the old wnrrlor chief Geronlmo and the rest are Just plain Indians who live on Uncle Sam's reserva tions nnd draw rations. Squaws attired In blankets , which for bright colors surpass Imagination , their long Jet black hair braided with variegated ribbons , crooning papooses strapped to their backs "and braves blanketed and creasy. The men wore beaded moccasins , tin bracelets and hulr braided and tied with beaver tails. Minia ture tomahawks hung In their ears and i their bronze colored skin was almost con- I coaled by brilliant paint. The bucks smoked ! pipes and Jabbered. The squaws stood lu j groups and looked on. The enlisted scouts In the party nre To- ' clanl , Perlco , Rnnamo , John Loco and i Apache. Lieutenant Thompson of Fort Sill , I. T. , Is detailed to look after them. Tile rest of the outfit. Including fifty-one ponies , ! I Is In charge of James Mooney , who was sent j by the Department of the Interior. G. W. | i Onlnes , commissary of the Indian depart- I ment nt the exposition , met the party nnd j ! ' conducted them to their quarters at the grounds. The Apaches got to the grounds just lit time to witness the sham battle , nnd dur ing the nffrny they were Captain Mercer's guests , occupying scats on the high portico tico that tins been erected Just Insldo the fence. In addition to Geronlmo , Natchee IH In the party. This Indian Is Geronlmo's head man , and Is said to have had more to do with the raids against the whites than the old man himself. Geronlmo Is 63 years of age and as straight as an arrow. He Is of medium height and quite heavy. Ho does not speak English , though he under stands considerable of the language. He Is a chronic grumbler , and this was de cidedly noticeable yesterday. Immediately after arriving In camp , he commenced find ing fault because tents had not been erected before he nnd his party came. Then ho grumbled because dinner had not been pre- pared and was awaiting his arrival. Tents for the Apaches have been erected east of those occupied by the Asslnlbolnes , on the north side of the grounds , where they will go Into camp. Most of the Apaches are good looking people. Their women are not beauties , but they are much bettor lookIng - Ing than their northern slaters. They , as j well ns the men. are small , much smaller than the Indians residing In the northern stntes.

The oVd time and military telegraphers visited the Indian encampment last night In a body and were entertained with a big I war dance In which nearly every tribe in the village participated. In this respect It was a remarkable event. It Is safe to as sert that it was the first time such a com bination of red men have ever mingled In the fantastic figures of the war dance. , ; There were members of fourteen tribes In j i tbo big circle around the camp fire , nnd j some of them hnvo been hereditnry enemies i iinco loni ; before the white man Invaded I their domains. The Crows and Blackfeet danced side by side with the Sioux and Chcyennes , with whom they have waged in- j terminable war for uncounted generations. The Flatheads were also old-time enemies of the Sioux and among the old warriors In tbe dance were some who had themselves fought each other with all tbe ferocity that a hereditary hate could Inspire until the powerful hand of Undo Sam had confined them to their reservations. To moat of the crowd there was no distinction between the painted and feather warriors In the dancing circle , but old timers who recollected how recently the Sioux and Crows delighted In catching each other at a disadvantage and killing without quarter , wondered If the old ferocity1 altogether slumbered as they brushed their old-time enemies in their evolutions. But if old grudges were remembered , It was not apparent for to all appearances the braves all entered Into the spirit of the dance as though they were on their own reservations. There were upwards of a hundred bucks in the circle and as the equaw-ft who were seated In the center beat the tom-toms and raised their weird song they Joined In the stately step with which IBthe dance begins. That the Indian Is not wltbout some musical conception Is nppar- ent , for no matter how furious the dance became the bells that wore hung on the leg- gins of tbe dancers jingled In perfect time , AB the braves became warmed up they dropped tbe ( .lately poise that accompanied idtheir Initial efforts and assumed positions suggestive of a sure-enough fight. Hero and thcro an old warrior crept along at though lu anticipation of pouncing on aa i unsuspecting ' enemy and go welt was the pantomime acted that It was cfMrly Int'elll- ' glblo to ovqn the most uninitiated observer , After ft time the bucks wearied and dropped bnck to the outer fdgc of the circle to res. ' . j After a brief Interval the squaws renewed their fantastic song nnd the warriors re turned to the dance. ScrKcnnt ( JriiiH-r on Ciiliiin Cotulltlonft .
