How Captain Bourke Surprised the sloux Doctors with an Electric Battery—Red Oloud at Wash- ington--Senator Spooner. {Copyright, 1890, by Frank G. Carpenter.| WasmiNGToN, Dec. 4.—[Special to Tie Bee.]—The Indian troubles will form one of the subjects of legisiation during the present session. A great deal of quiev talk is going onamong the membere as to the Sioux and not a few express themselves 1 the words of General Sheridan to the effect that “the best Indian is the dead Indian.”” One of the best Andian authorities in the United States is Captain Bourke, who was on General Crook’s staff for eightoen years and who has spent the most of his life upon the frontier. Cap- tain Bourke has made a study of the Indians. He has written a number of interesting books about them and he is now writing a volume for the goverament on Indian medi- cine men. He knows more about the dances of the Sioux and other Indians than anyone in the country and it was he who gave to the national museum a necklace of human fingers ‘which he captured from an Indian medicine man, I talked with him last night about this phase of Indian character. Said he: ““The Indians are very superstitious, They believe in the supernatural and an advoit sleight of hand performer can have great in-* fluence over them. One way to beat them is to fight them with their own fire by sending fivst class Ainerican jugglers outto them. ‘When the medicine men of the tribe do their wonders let thése jugelers do their tricks and the power of the medicine men will wane. This was the method I pursued with thom. I rever discredited the power of the medicine men. Ionly told them that my medicine was ‘better than their medicine, and that I could @oa great deal more than they could. HOW ELECTRICITY DOWNED A CHIEF, “I-had once an old electric battery with me ‘when I visited & big camp of these Sioux. There was some excitoment at the time and the modicine men were boasting what they could do. I arranged my battery and took & silver dollar and pinced it in a pan of water and told their best medicine men that I would give the one who could pull it out & provided he took hold of the brass haudle of the bat- tery with one hand and pick the coin out with the other. There were, perhaps, 1,000 In- dians looking at us, and they conceived a * deop reverence for me as thoy saw tehmost famous of their medicine men attempt to do this and fail, beiug thrown into convulsions in the attempt. At lastone of the strongest Indians in the west camsup to muke the trial. He seized tho battery and made a grab for the dollar. The electricity went through him like & shot and he kicked the battery all to pleces. He wanted 10 try it again and we patched the battery up and he flually succeeded in getting the dol- lar, owing to the weakness of the current furnished by the broken battery, He was twisted out of shape almost by the effort and the Indians of that camp looked upon me for @ thno as a great medicine man." LITTLE BIG MAN AND THE JUGGLER, “At another time T was at a Sun dance of one of the Sioux Indian tribes and an Ameri- can juggler, who was quite a sleight-of-hand performor, begged to be allowed to go along ‘with me, I thought he might do some good a1d took him, I shall not forget how he asonished the Indians, He weniup toouo of our | i shades, | { .| Collars and Cuffs, Clovesand Nitens | B-hook Foster Patent Kid Gloves, | dressed, B-button dressed and undressed Kid Gloves, in all the latest $1.50.

Then with his other hand he got hold of the other cheek and apparently pulled a $20 gold piece out of it, while the rest of the Indians looked on with open-mouthed wonder. He went up to another chief who rejoiced in the title of Little Big Man, and grabbing him by the nose pulled a $20 gold piece out of his nose much to the chief’s sur- prise. ‘This chief was with me during nearly the whole of the day and he evidently aid not get over the impression he had received.

A SCANED APACIE DOCTOR. “Iremember another medicine man, a big Apache, who called upon me in the surgeon’s oftice at oue of the stations, I was very anx- fous to see his medicine charm which ho carried carefully concealed under his shirt and which not even the other Indians ever saw. I tola him I knew he was a great medi- cine man but that I believed that my medi- cine was better than his medicine, and with that I picked up a bottle of nitric acid. It was 1ot bigger than your thumb. I said, ‘I will put a drop of this on your tongue, and in one minute I will burna hole clear through it.” He opened his eyes but when I again usked him to stick out his tongue he said he believed I could do it and that ho would not test my skill. Itheu picked up a bottle of chloroform and said, ‘Here is more of my medicine. If you smell this I can put you to sleep and no one can wake you until I want to wike you, and with this,' picking up au- other boitle, ‘T can strike you dead.” By this timo he was thoroughly scared and ho showed me the wonderful talisman by which le per- formed his tricks. It was & chamois bag covered with mvsterious characters, Ho wore it over his chest and it never left him night or day.” . HOW INDIAN MBDICINE MEN WORK. 1 visited the National museum this morn- ingand took a look at the specimens of In- dian_doctors in its collection. One form of the Sioux medicine man_has o bearskin over his shoulders and o bear's head upon his head, and he walks along with an arrow adoraed with feathers as his staff. The Alaskans have their medicine men, and there is an ivory carving from Alaska showing the Indian dootor driving out the evil spirit from a patient. Tho spirit is travelng off on a turtle and the doctor claps a pair of ivory sticks together in triumph as he goes, The Inaiaus along the North Pacific coast have terrible orgies as to their medicine men, and Indians are chosen as medicine men through popular superstition. I a man dreams that 15 son bas performed a miracle he concludes that the boy is cut out for u medicine man, and ho gives him over to the doctors for edu cation and training. The Sloux ordeals aro by all means tho most severe. The young medicine men have to hang themselves to ropes by skewors, which are put through the muscles of their breast, and they haug on to theso ropes until the flesh is torn of. There are no more superstitious In- diaus in the world than these Sioux, and though the present dangers may be exaggerated, still it is easy to see how such u story as \hat of the Messiah might cause trouble at any time, provided there was a clover slight-of-hand Indian among them who would pretend to perform miracles, RED CLOUD GUYED OUR STATESMEN, ___ Judge J. J. Noah of the census bureau is a full-blooded Israclite, but he has also the dignity of being a chief of the Sioux indians, In 184D and *50 he went to the west with Gov- oernor Ramsey of Minnesota, to settle up the Indian troubles of that time, and while there he defended o noted Indian chief on the charge of murder, This chief had been out with a'band of his tribe when a party of white settlers drove up. He gave them what he claimed was a salute, but unfortunately the chief's gun sent a bullet through the head of one man, and through the nose of the man’s wife, who was riding behind him on the horse. The man was killed, and strange to say,Judge Noah was able to get the man free. ‘The Judge is ouc of the bost linguists n Washington, and he claims to have & perfect knowl of the Sioux language. Not long l‘u Red Cloud and a number of other Sioux chiefs were at Washington, and they had a meeting or reception at which Major Noah 'was preseut. At this reception Red Cloud through an interoreter. He did not think there was any one present who understood the Sioux language except himself and the interpreter, and he kept guying the ladies, and saying all sorts of mean things about the people” in Sioux to the interpreter, who Prasiated his denunciations Into compli: ments. Red Cloud understood some English, and he had no idea of insulting the whites. "There was a perfect understanding between him and the interpreter and he was saying the mean things for fun, supposing that onl the interpreter understood him. Major Nnu{ waited until after the rest of the party had gone and then with a smile asked 1ted Cloud how ho liked Washington, using the Sjoux language, Red Cloud started buck in sur- vise, and when he found that Noah had eurd his whole harangue, he was very much anuoyed and begged i’ not o tell any one of it. A SIOUX CHESTERFIELD. “There1s no finer Indian in the United States,” said Judge Noah, ‘‘than the full- bloodea Sioux. 1 remembeér the impression oneof them made on the famous Tom Mar- shall of Kentucky when he visited St. Paul in 1851. The town then had only one street and Marshall came into it on one of his pro- tracted sprees which by this time had become more or less chronic, * The day after he ar- rived he came into the hotel and told me that he had met the most. cour:if specimen of say- age politeness that he had ever seen. Said he: ‘I walked down the street from the hotel and when this magnificont savage came towards me with the free stride of his race, his blanket thrown back over his shoulder, his form erect, and his air that of a prince, [ was so profoundly impressed that I took off my hat and bowed low in salutation before him. Hestarted backas I did so and then as I rose, with a most graceful sweep of his hand, he made me a profound bow and offered me his hand. I tookit and felt myself so honored by the coutact that I could not resist the temptation of giving the Indian a dollar before I' left him.* = “It is needless to say,” concluded Judge Noab, “that Tom Marshall 'was not overly sober at the time,” DR. KOCH AT WASHINGTON, Tho experiments of Dr. Koch in Berlin aro creating considerable talk among the states- men at Washington. A great doal of skep- ticism is expressed as to the success of the learned doctor, and I do not find that the ma- jority of the public men here have a very hizh opinion of the medical profession. One senator who comes from a western stato and who wears two pair of glasses gavean ex- serience that he had lately with a famous ew York oculist, one of the most noted men in his line 1 tife country. Said he: “I tet this man_treat my oyes and he did mo a great deal of good, aud showed such & knowledge of the eye that [ was truly amuaz- and during the examination I said: “Doctor, you have a_wonderful knowledge of the human eye and I am really glad to know you' ‘Yes, he replied, ‘I do know some- about’ the eye noiv, but you must re- er that I spoiled about two bushels of eyes before I becawe acquainted with 1t and learncd how to treat it This settled me, and I thanked the Lord that T had not gotten in on the first bushel. Thiuk of it! SENATOR MANDERSON'S STORY, “Yes," said Senator Manderson, who was listening to the above, “I prefer an old doc- torto a young one every time. But gray hairs are by no means a sign of medical wis- dom. I found this out when I was a young man practising at the bar in Ohio. A murder case was being tried and the Hon. John Me- Sweeny, then the most noted lawyor iu Ohio, was the attorney for the murderer’ The circumstances of the crime was that this man had quarreled with his friend and in the af- fray which ensued had stabbed him with a knife. McSweeny’'s iine of defense *was that it ‘was the doctor wno had dressed the wound and not the stab which bad klled the man. This doctor was an old gray-haired quack of note, Ho had a plaster right over tho ‘wound.and weeny showed in his argument that this plaster had confined the pus and brought on blood poisoning. He examined the gray-haired physician before he made the Argu t, and the doctor had no idea of his line of defense. He wanted, you know, to show the man's iguorauce, aud he did it effectually, He asked him a number of ques- tions, to which the man pompously replied. He referred 10 his large practice, spoke of the wound, and then asked bim if o had not per- formad the post-mortem examination on which the charge of murder was found. The doctor replied that he had. *You are aceus- tomed to performing post-mortem oxamina tions, are you not? ‘O, yes,’ replied the doctor; ‘that is a part of my business,’ “Thon you know all about it said Me- Sweeny. ‘I do, was the answer. ‘Then,’ said McSweeny, as he picked up a law hook which looked very much like a noted surgical work, ‘you of course know of Dr. Dungle- son’s ‘Treatise on Surgery? ‘Yes,' re- plied the doctor; ‘he is one of tho most fa- mous of our authovities,” “Then,’ cortinued McSweeny, as he opened the book, ‘I sup- Pose youigree with him where he says, on page 569, paragraph 1100, that a post-mortem oxanusation can be performed just as well before as after death.) ‘Ceriainly, cer- tainly,’ replied the doctor, without thinking, ‘That’s all,’ said McSweeny. Before tho doctor knew what a terrible blunder he had made he was out of the stand. Itis needless to say that McSweeny won his case, and that the doctor was the laughing stock of the community. " PERSONAL NOTES. I met Senator Spooner in the war depart- ment today. Ho has not, yot decided what ho will do when his present”term in the senato ends, but the probability is that ho will prac- tice law in Milwaulkee, © He is one of tho brightest lawyers in tho United States, and he was getting $10,000 &-year from one rail- road at the time he was elected to the senate, Hoe could, I am told; got:a salary: twice as big as that of a supreme court justice from an- other road, but this would vecessitate his leaving the state of Wisconsin, which he does not wish to do, _In tho meantime, ho is fond of Washington life and he might probably take the attorney genevalship if it was of- fered to him and Judge Miller was elevated to the suprome bench. Senator Spooncr says the public school law was the cause of the re- publican defoat in Wisconsin and that the question of his return to the senate did not euter into the canvass. Admiral Porter is much better and it is now believed that he will get woll. He has a wonderful constitution, and Yo has accom- plished a great amount of work within the past few years. He has written several novels and a great number of magazine arti- cles, and he has other literary work in view. Hois one of the fastest writers among our public mev, and the greater part of his liter- ary work has been done standing and with a pencil and pad. He is an inveutor as well as 8 lawyor and a literateur, and bo has & num- ber of improvements which may sometime bo introduced into our naval machinery. Icalled yesterday at_the war department to see General Schofleld, buv found him so rushed with the Indian’ troubles and with congressional matters that I could get but a word with him. Heis in spleudid health, His rosy cheeks shl\n%wml good living and his eyes are as bright as when he acted as secretary of war during the latter par’ of Andrew Johnson's; Atministration. He is now fifty-nine vears. old and is vhe senior major general of thy Fnited States army. Ho hus six years yet toserve before he will reach the age for retire Spoaking of sonafihal law ors, there s no man in public lifewho would make a more able supreme couty: justice than Senator George F. Edmungsy! He is well to do, it Is said, has a fine hame in Washington and he would be @ very stroag man on the bench. His advice is oftens 83 to supreme court questions and he as bigh as 5,000 for a single opinion, I b esterday of a rail- road case in which his opinion saved $150,000 for his clients. "Piradase had been tried by tho ablest lawyers in the United States. It way -prouued to ti ‘éxpmne court and ten days before the de( was to be rendered, Jay Gould, who wag 8 defendant, offered a compromise for §3 instead of risking a decision against him for the amount claimed, which was $500,000. The par ties who brought the suit hesitated. .Threabundred and fifty thousand dollars was betfer than nothing and the supreme court might give them nothing. "They finally conathied to get BEdmunds’ opin- ion “on the case and to follow his advice. ‘They presented it to him. He advised them not to accept the compromite, and the result was that ten days later they got & judgment for their full half million. Fraxk G.

FACED REBEL AND REDSKI Members of “Our Finest” Who Have Served Uncle Sam, WOUNDED ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE, Confined in Rebel Prison Pens and Seeking Freedom Through the Evergiades and Darkness, The police force of this city containsa number of officers to whom the smell of gun- powder is anything but a novelty. It also contains a number of men who have at times Suffered in rebel prison pens, though the fact of their incarceration has been Jknown only to those with whom they are in- timately connocted. These facts have recently come Into the possession of o BeE reporter and are doemed of suficient. importance to be presented to those who will be willing to admit that a man who has risked his life in the service of his country is ot the less qualified to protect the property and lives of the people of Omaha. Chief Seavey enlisted in Omaba in the fall of 1861, in a company under Major J. C. Wil- cox, which was being raised for a Missouri regiment, and which became in January,1562, company H of the Curtiss Horse, This regi- ment was composed of battalions from Min- nesota, Missouri and Towa. It wfterwards was kniown as the Fifth lowa cavalry, and received all its recruits from that state, General Lowe was its commander, and_bis father, Dr. Lowe, was its first surgeon. Chief Seavey served in this regiment until it was mustered out of service at_Clinton, Ia., in August, 1855, For somo time ho was quartermastorsergeant and first sergeant, and in December, 1854, he was promoted cap: tain of company H, Fifth Towa cavalry, His commission bears’ the names of Harlau Buird, licutenant-colonel commanding, now of Dakota county, and James H. Wing, lieutenant and acting-adjutant. Mr Seavey was captured at_Jonesboro, and taken to the rebel prison at Andersonville, whero he re- mained for sixtoen days. He' first managed t0 escape from a train load of prisoners which was wrecked near Barnesville whileon the way to prison, but was recaptured by rebel scouts after ho had gotten safely within tho union lines, During the time he was con- fined at Andersonville, ho' kept diary, and that records the fact that 143 wis the smallest and 160 the largest number of dead_prisoners removed from the prison iu one day duriug his confinement. He got out when an order came to send 500 prisoners to be exchanged. The weakest and most emaci- ated were selected and Scavey was among them. They were so weak, however, that General Sherman refused to exchange for them, and they were sent back. Seavey was unable to walk and was sent to Macon prison, where ho remained aweek. He slipped away from there with & number of officors who were to be paroled. Lieutenant Clark of the Second Indiana cavalry let him tuke his uni- form and both passed out together, Clark being known and Seavey trusting to luck to escape dotection in his bold_attempt. He dodged from oue file to the other while they were being counted, and was miles away when his escapo was discovored at the prison roll-call. The confederates sent after him, and he secreted himsell in a creek a whole day while the party of paroled officers woro being recounted and did not leave his hiding- plice in the water until after dark. By tramping thirty miles duriug the night, bo managed to get inside the union linos at day- break and subsequently rejoined his regi- ment. Seavey was wounded but once, when he was hit in the head by a piece of a shell, the result being the pormanent loss of hear. iug in his right ear. Detective Vaughn is another of the honor- ably discharged voteraus. Ho was tho seo- man o enlist in Fayeite county, Tlinols, on the day after the first call was issued in 1L, Joluiag company H, Eightu Ilinols Dick Oglesby's famous regiment, He served his ninety days and then re-eniisted in com pany F, Seventh Ilinois cavalry, under Colonel Pitt Ke Louisiana. He was promoted to first lieutenant in company F, Seventh United States colored regiment, W hich suffered so severely at Fort Pillow, and commanded his company for overa year. Vaughn took part in the cele- brated Grierson raid, and was shot through the thigh and captured in the rear of Vicics- purg. He was sent to Jackson, Meridian, Selma, Montgomery, Atlanta, and finally to Libby prison, where he remained a prisoner for s’ month and was then parolled and sent to St. Louis, He rejoined his regiment in October. Vaughn participated in the battles of Corinth, Tuka, New Madrid and Pittsburg Landing. Officer Rouden found his way to the front during the early part of the warand re- maiued there until the close. Hoenlisted in Company K, Eighty-fourth Indiana infantry, in 1861, for one year, and when_his time was up re-enlisted for two years and & half. He articipated in the battles of Nashville, Mur- reesboro, Chattanooga, Lookout mountain, Chickamauga, Duck River, Buzzard’s Roost and several others, He 'was promoted to first sergeant, but, was reduced to the ranks for soundly thumping an orderly sergeant, who was insisting _that one of the boys who had been up with Rowden all of the previous night should go on guard duty. Rowden pro- tested against it and the orderly told him in not very elegant language to keep his mouth shut. That was too much for Sergeant Row- den and he procoeded to kil the orderly all over the camp. He then tore tho sergeant's stripes off his slceves and was again a private. But for that last action, which of itself re- diiced him, he would have been allowed to re- tain his stripes. The memory of thevigor- ous lambastipg he administered to that ‘“young = popinjay” ore pleasant morning twenty-seven years ago, still causes tho grizzled turnicey to'smile complacently at his rgflection in tho little cracked looking glass that Jailer Havey has tacked up in a corner of the polico station. Rowdon was captured three times, but was paroled on the teld every time, Ho bears thres scavs, hav- ing been’ shot twice through the right und once through the left log. Oficer Fraak Roboins enlisted in company A, Thirty-fourth, Illinois, in 1862 for three years. o was in the battles of Chattanooga, ‘Atlanta, Lookout and Buzard's Roost, and was shot through theleg at Resaca. It was the Thirty-fourth Hlinois that suffs uch heavy loss at Chattanooga under General Thomas and Robbins is one of the few men who lived to tell how it happened, Ofticerd. H. Russell is ono of the numerous men on the forco who was in the regular armg. He enlisted ut Washington, D. C. in 1880, and served five years in troop I, Ninth cavalry. He was stationed three years at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, one year at Fort Reno, Indiun’ Territory, and one'year at Fort Robinson. He was in seven Indian campalgns in the southern territory. Ofticer B. V. Walker” enlisted in troop A, Ninth cavalry, in 1883, and secved five years, He was stationed at Forts Sill and Reno. Oficer Charles Monroe enlisted in Com- pany A, Fifteenth infantry, at Chicago i 1875, and put io five years at Korts Wingate, Sheldon, Cummings, Lyons, Lewis and Lin' colu. He participated inthe Ute trouble, and chased Victoria into New Mexico at the time of the Apache outbreak. He was shot in the right leg at Crook’s canyon, Omcer Jueob Brugl enlisted in 1884, 1n this city, in Company D, Fourth infantry, He was stationedat Caur d' Alene, Idaho, for threo years, and was in the Indian territory to take a hand in the Oklahoma outbreal, Oficer P, J. Kelley was in the revenue ser- vice for three and a half years on the cutter Rival, at the Pacificstation. Ho held the position of second engineer, and his term of service began in 1875 Officer Cullon _enlisted in Company G, Fourth infantry, in 1576, He went through two campaigns, one of which was the winter expedition under Major Makenzie, and fn the other he was under General Crook, when he joined General Terry after the Custer mas- sucre. Oficer Cladius Dibbern passod two years of his lifoin the Gorman army, and rose 1o the rank of field paymaster. He scoured two_years of absence’ to visit this country, and has since extentied that leave indefini: without permission. Mounted-Oficer Shoop enlisted in 1874 in L troop, Second cavaley, and served three years at Missoula, Mont., where he was dis- charged by order.
