Since then he has declared to several t he would “igot cven” with them for the prosecution. Circumstances point strongly to his being the guilty person. The +trange Case of a Cow. Fuesmorr, Neb., Dee, 16.—[Special to Tur Bek)—A remarkable story involving the tenacity of life of a heifer comes from Ames, this county. Some time last spring an ani- mal belonging 0 karmer Zorn was struck by lightning. The stroke was not fatal, and it ‘was not very long thereafter until the heifer had apparently regained her normal condi- tion. About six weeks ago, however, Mr. Zorn, while walking through his pasture fleld, discovered this same heifer lying on the ground dead, as he supposed, and he passed her value to the account of profit and loss. A few days ago a number of hunters who were shooting upon Mr. Zorn’s land dis- covered an animal which lh(‘“ supposed had ust died, the body being still warm, Mr. Zorn's attention was called to it, and upon investigation he found this to be the self- same heifer which had previously been tho object of the wrath of a thunderbolt and which its owner had giv wecks before. A still ¢ showed that there was life in ono side of the body while the other was paralyzed. The beifer had been lying there for six weeks, ana the remarkable part of it all is that after the lupse o 1 this time there shogld still be life in the body. It is afeat in ting that rivals Tanner’s, and as the animal is still aliveit yet remains to be seen what are the powers and possibilities in this field of achievement. Farmers ve Bankers. McCook, Neb., Dee. 16.—[Special to Tue Bk, |—The relief work in this county is belng pushed vigorously by the county com- mittee at Indianola and by the Ladies' Benev- olent associntion of McCook. Several hun- dred families have received assistance al- ready, but the supply is not quite adequate to the demand. Several carloads of coal have been donated by individuals, and in all cases 80 far it has been shippod free of freight charges. (George Hocknell, the banker here, has donated a car of coal, and both the banks at Indianola have ordered a car each. Money is close and almost impossible to obtain by farmers, Bankers refuse to loan, and the fecling {s bitter against them, ‘There has been a foud here for some months botween the farmers and the bankers owing to the high rates charged. Bankers say that they cannot loan for less rates on vhe shaky secur- ity they are obliged to accept from farmers, and they declare that they are not to blameé for the bitter feeling thut exists against them. Farmers threaton sovere interest law at the coming session of the legislature, and tho lenders say they will simply guit busincss if sach e o lsw s passed. Altogether the outlook is gloomy aud business men are hedging on all sides. Heretofors tho west has depended lurgely on railroad building -to advance prop- erty and furnish employment to the people. Farmers here blame the roads because they do not build more, and the roads claim they are running their branch lines at a loss now, and If freight ratesaro cut down they will not be uble to extend their lines any further. The auti-bank and antirailroad sentiment has become a wania among farmers, and they meet and discuss the questions in’ the most bitter manner. Mauy aliiance men aro fear- ful of extreme measures at the coming ses- sion and are counseling moderation. The problem of the future is a serious one, and muny business men would gladly close out their business if they could and leave the country, The onlyhopeis that present re- sief will continues that the coming legislature will appropriate’ money for spring seeding and that the feud bet: n fariners and capi- tal will aie out and leave some chance for re- turning prosperity the coming season.

Money matters arevery stringentand farmers catinot bor- Tow at the KS. All reliof supplies are being sent free of freigut charges and our peoplo feel that so loug as the railroads are donating the freight the vle in the eastern part of the state should be generous in their contributions, Our people prefer not to solicit aid outside of toe state.

New York, Dec. 16.—[Special Telogram to Tue Ber]—Tho ship Amelia Reed, which arrived at the foot of Court street, Erie basin, on Tuesday, had a very rough voyage aronnd Cape Horn. Sho left San Francisco in the latter part of August for Brazil, laden with wheat. She met with fair weather until she reached the. neighborhood of Cape Horn, where heavy gales and trade winds were encountered, and for four days the decks were washed by heavy seas which broke over her. The ship was tossed about like a feather and was absolutely uncontrollable. Despite all that Captain Sheidon and bis crew could do, while off the Faulkland Tslands tho waves stove in the deckhouse and washed it ard. Six men and all the cooking uteusils were in the deckhouse. They were swept away and lost. This left” only four men to man. the ship and the next morning two more men were washed overboard. Captain Sheldon stuck to his ship thronghout the storm and finally the ship reached Rio, where, after depositing the cargo, the captain shipped a new crew and sailed for Brooklyn in ballast. The first mate reports that the cuptain and what was Toft of the crew suffered greatly for lack of fire aud food, The stoves and everything be- longing to the kitchen were washed away. After a great deal of rumaging an old pot was found in the forward locker and a small stove which was in thocaptain's cabin was putinto use, and with this they cooked their meagre meals. Another death occrirred aboard the ship to- day. The deceased was not a member of the ship's crew.

Cuicaco, Dec. 16.—[Special Telegram to £ BEE.)—The one pre-eminent subject of interest today in railroad circlos in this city was the result of the president’s meeting yes- terday in New York at which resolutions were adopted providing for the innuguration of a new system of doing business substan- tially on the lines proposed by Jay Gould. Some comment was made on the fact that no positive mention of apool is made in the reso- lutions, but the goneral view was that pro- vision is mude for one by the advisory board and that any agreement which did not pro- vide for one would be of noavail. The fact that the agreement is to be for six months in- stead of five yoars also excited some com- mwent as did the absence of any mention of the building of new roads. The preliminary agreement was expected to cover this point. It would not be proper for mo to. express any opinion on the result of the meeting,” President Blackstone of the Altou road, 150 1 am not fully advised of what they . AllLT kuow of the matter is t| betore the meeting took place I said 1o many of the gentlemen who proposed to attend it that while I would not attend [ would not stand in the way of any agreement that would pro- vide for doing business on a fairand equita- ble basis and that would fully protect the in- terests of all the roads as well as those of the shippers. I am in favor of such rates as will be fair to the shippers as well as to the roads. My opinion is, and past experience shows, that it will be impossible to make such an agreement for any .great length of time. Cpnditions are constantly changing and we must change our methods to suit the changing conditions and circumstances, We must keep on trying, however, and never give up, This is the only way in whiel anything can be done, 1 ques- tion greatly if ultimate good can be accom- plished if the reports represent fully all that was done or is to be done, But, as I have said, 1 do not think they do, and hence tho impropriety of me discussing tho matter at all at this stage.” “All I know of what was done or agreed to,” said General Manager Merrill of the Burlington road, *is what I have seen in tho papers, and I am satisfied that that is a very partial'and insufficient veport. 1 see that pools are not menticned in the resolutions and I think that without some equitable _di- vision for trafic no pian can be made effec- ve and permanent. The road that finds its business declining is going to take some means of kesping and increasing it. That is an inevitable law of business and the only way to maintain rates of a stable and re- munerative basis is to provide fora fair and equitable division of the business among the competing roads, I hope some plan that will secure that will be agreed to. Without it railroad property will have to go into the hands of receivers.” “i see that Mr. Stickney of our road was the only one present at the meeting “who had courage to express his honest convictions,’ said Trafic Manager Busenbark of the Chi- cago, St, Paul & Kansas City road. ‘‘He had the courage to tell them just what he thought, and he did it. You know how iong the last gentlemen's agreement lasted. Reading between the lines the resolutions adopted provide for the organization of a money pool. That is what they really mean. I'look upon the resolutions adopted simply us an expression of opinion of the owners of the railroads as to how the executive officers should carry on the business ard as the lines on which a detailed agrcement is to be based. A great deal of work will have to be done be- fore a detailed agreement that will be satis- factory to everybody can be drawn on the lines indicated in the resolutions, So far as this road is concerncd, wo are prepared to support any plan that'will place rates on a fairly remunerative and stable basis. Stable rates are what are wanted more than any- thing else, and this road will do everything in its power to secure them,” Gould Satisfied. New York, Dec. 16.—Gould today ex- pressed himselfas very well satisfied with what was accomplished at the meeting of tho railrood presidents yesterday. He is confi- dent the plan adopted will bé successful and result in great advantages to the railways and the public.

Sitting Bull, whose original Indian name was Tatunka Yotunk, has probably done as much “Injun devilment” in his time as any savage since Tecumseh. . Black Hawk wasn'v 8 circumstance to him, and the most noted Avpaches, though more bloodthirsty, were far inferiorin talent and consequently in destruc- tion. He was born in the Black Hills in 1833, his father being a Blackfoot Sioux and his mother the daughter of an Uncpapa Sioux by an Aricdaree wife, The average age of In- dans is much less than that of whites, and so he was considered guite an old man; and hay- ing been pre-eminently successful in war and ambifious and eloquent_in peace, his influ- ence was very great. His speech, in 1888, in- citing the Crows to war, is & fine specimen of Indian eloquence. The joint council was held on the sceme of the Custer massacre, and pointing to the monument, he said: “Look at that monument! That marks the work of my Keaplu. We are respected aud feared by the white man, because we killed his great chief and more than three hundred of his warriors on this spot. Wo receive ong and one-balf pounds of beef per ration, but you get only one-half pound; yet we do no work, but ride and visit our friends as we lease. See your little log housds and farms, ‘'ou are the white man’s sluve. He is teach- ingyou to labor, only that you may forget theuse of your war paint, and the battle songs of Jour fathers are stolen from the lips of your children by the seuseless chants of the schools by the black robes (priests). Is there blood in the veins of your young ment Rise up against the bloodless conquest that is tarniog your people into slaves! The red man was made by the Great Spirit to hunt and to fight, to be free as the prairie wind. It is the white wan’s business to work. He is only a soldier when he is paid to be." Of course the young warriors went wild at this,and in no long time there was a “‘Crow outbreak,” Yet Sitting Bull was long the terror of the Crows,they and the Sioux being heredi enemies, His first exploit was Crow killing. He was 50 anxious to be con- sidered o man and a warrior that when he 'was but thirteen vearsold he and Skunkwilla ile Fox), fludlug u dead eagl n (L o, stuck its tail feathers oulp locks—this the sign of “counting coup,” that is, of hav- ing struck dn MdMy, The old Indianslaughea somuch at them that the boys swore they ‘would rowke the sfm good, and started alove into the Crow cduntry.

Ho and several other chiefs, with some 700 warriors, mado desperate attack upon Fort Berthold, but wero repulsed with a loss of some fifty killed and twice as many wounded. The war lan- guished after that, and little was done by the Sioux tall 1860, It was a long story to relate the terrible massacre of that year, the ever varying for- tunes of tha nextnine years and the great final disaster to the Custer command. in 1876, During the five years succeading the civil war the United States regular army was in the worst condition it ever reached. Men deserted by dozens in open day. Hundreds enlisted simply to get transportation to the mining regions and then deserted without fear or shame. When something like regular discipline was restored the Indians were soon defeated and Sitting Bull went to Canada. In no long time there was a general amnesty and he came back. Several Sioux who took part in the Custer massacre are now ‘‘good Indians,” and not very bad farmers, living quictly on Deyil's Lake reservation, North Dakota. — But old Sitting Bull could mot stay quiet very long; he stayed out with the wild bands. For months he kopt the young Indians in line against signing the treaty toopen the Sioux " reservation, and wherever in the meantime trouble broke out among the wild bands, the ofticials suspected the nand of Sit- ting Bull. Aftér inciting the Crows (now friendly to the Sioux) and others, he reached Standing Rock ageocy onJuly 30 of last year, and within a few hours induced all the In- dians to take the “oath by the Great Spirit" that they would not accept the treaty as it then was, Even John Grass, Mad Bear and others who had been favorable down to that time, backed squarely out when _they noted -the effect of Sitting Bull's address on the young Indians. Some of his remarks show great shrewdness—of the savage kind. He objected to. work and civilization for Indians generally, but wanted them to keep a few boys in the white schools all the time, so that there might be some warriors who could read and write, and therefore circumvent tho white men and ras- cally interpreters, After his failure to accomplish his ends he retired to his home in Grand river valley, and it was announced that he was dying of 'con- sumption, Instead, however, he was con- cocting more deviltry, and soon sprang the the Messiah craze on the country, from which all the present traubles have arisen. s et Burdock Blood Bitters taken after eating will reliove any feeling of weight or over full- ness of tho stomaely, Sold everywhere. i1 WARBINGTON ARRAIGNED, He Waives Examination and Is Held in $2,500 Bonds.

Attorvey Shea consiaered $5,000 about the proper bail. McCulloch thought the amount too high, Mr. Robert Patrick was present and in- sisted on a large bail being demanded. He considered the crime a serious and expensive one and demanded that a large boud be re- quired. The prisoner stated he had a lot in Orchard Hill worth perhaps $1,500 and which he held under a contract. But Le might get bond through friends. The court then placed the bond at 2,500, and during the next twenty- four hours Judge McCulloch will endeavor to give that security. Warbington was called upon at the jail yesterday by Prof. Gillespie, of the state insti- tute for the deaf sud dumb, and employes in the store in which hehad worked as col- lector. Prof. Gillespie's brother was Warbing ton's guardian, -~ Through different ave- nues it has -leaked out that War- bingson's father was partially or wholly in- sanc at the time of his suicide. The case will be J)rnsevumd vigorously by all parties concerned. Mr. A.J. Poppléton, tho city attomey, was present at the court room to insist on a sufficient bail to abso- lutely secure the appearance of the prisoner at the time set for trial.

Mr. Flower of New York protested against the passage of the bill and severely criti- cised the census returns of New York city. Mr. Mills of Texas said he belicved New York had lost the enumeration to which she was entitled, but her loss was not as great as that of his own state, which amounted to 500,000, Mr. McRae of Arkansas gave notice of an l;mundmem increasing the representatives to 850. Mr, Outhwaite of Ohio stated that great in- justice had been done in hisstate in taking the census. Illinois bad vecome the third state in theunion. It was not true that Ilinois had grown so rapidly nor Ohio had fallen off to such an extent, The whole census ought to be retaken, so that. representativos might be apportioned according to population and not according to schemes for political ad- vancement, Mr, Frank of Missouri earnestly advocated the bill, which was based upon the bill orig- inally introduced by himself. Mr. Flowerof New Yorkofferea an amend- ment increasing to thirty-five the representa- tion from New York. Mr. Spinola of New York said that when the people of New York found they had been wronged they applied to the secretary of the interior, but obtained no relief. Thesecretary wrotea blackguard, impudent letter, which was unworthy to emanate from any man calling himself a gentlernan, The census as taken by Superintendent Porter was a crime against the public, It wasa wrong perpe- trated by rintendent, and he kuew heelers knew Mr. Covert of New York argued in support of theamendmentproviding a recount of New York and Brookiyn and additional repre- sentation for the state should the recount show an increase of 150,000 over the federal . Limd of Minnesota favored the McRae amendment. The apportionment bill, he thought, should be s 1t s dificult; g its large fraction) it would be but fair and just to give that state an additional representative, The vas true of Arkansas and Minnesota, nd this bill, while it might fit the arithmetic theory of the committee, did injustice to those states, Mr. Biggs of California complained that San Francisco had not had a fair enumera- tion, Not one enumerator there had been a democrat. Mr. Peel of Arkansas declared that Ar- kansas had lost 100,000 by failure to count. M. Dunuell, in closing the debate, spoke earnestly in favor of the bill and expressed regret at the attack made on the sccretary of the interior by Mr. Spinola. It had never seemed reasonable to the committee that New York should be granted a special privi- leg No other city had come here disregarding the law, and he regretted that the vencrable gentleman from New York should let fall from has lips an attack upon an oMcial of the governneunt to which thelatter could notmeeply. ‘The hour of 5 o'clock having ai ed, Mr. Dunuell demanded the previous questicn Mr. Blount of Georgia interjected a motion to adjourn, and during the progress of the vote the democratic members took their hats and overcoats and lett the hall, showing a dis- position to break a quorum on'the next vote. The motion to adjourn was lost—yecas, 118; nays, 145, At the suggestion of Mr. Blount of Georgia it was agreed that after two hours-debate to- morrow the previous question should be con- sidered as ‘ordered, and the house adjourned. The Senate. ‘WasniNgroy, Dec. 16.—In the senate, in the course of the morning business, Senator Hoar read u lotter from John I Davenport making & vigorous denial of the charges pre- ferved against his conduct as chief supervisor of elections and professing a willingness to appear before a senate commit- tee to answer the charges. Tho pending business was the consideration of the Dolph vesolution providing for an investigation whether the right to vote was deuied or abridged in any state, with the Vest amend- ment extending the investigation to inguiry as to whether, by state legislation, any man was denied the right to work on public works by reason of his. color., Mr. Morgan 1 opposing the resolution called attention to the fifteenth amendment to the constitution,criticising it and contend- ing the foundation of tLe country would have been better had the government been content with the fourteenth amendment. Peuding further debate the senate pro- ceeded to consideration of the election bill, Mr. Morgan concluding his spoech against it, ‘The discussion was then temporarily sus- pended and Mr, Pugh gave notice of an amendment requiring deputy marshals, ete., to be of good moral characterand able to 1ead and write. Mr. Blair presented petitions from labor organizations praying congress to set aside consideration nPlhn election bill, so that labor legislation might be acted upon. Mr, Hoar objected, and Mr. Kenna then ad- dressed the senate in opposition to the election bill, M, Dolph took the floor, but soon yielded to & motion to adjourn, il b T Did you ever hu{ a horse and not have some misgivings as to his points till they were fully tested!
