A stranger presonted himself at the How- ard Lumber company’s offico ono day last week and purchased a bill of lumber amount- ing to$10 and presented a check for $100 drawn on the Wauneta bank, receiving $00 in good money in return. A tesmster was employed to liau! the lumber to a certain lo- cation in the northeast part of the county, and paid half down, but the party failed to show up and claim the lumber and the bank at Wauueta rejected the check while the customor has placed many ilos between himself and Beakloman.

Asuraxp, Neb,, Jan. 11.—|Special to T Bre.]-—Ashland’s new Immanuel Baptist church was dedicated - yestorday. 1t is a beautiful little structure 43x64 feet., A neat tower adorns the frout, rising to a height of about eighty feet. This church is the out- growth of a little dissention which arose in tho old Baptist church some six weeks ago, when about teu of the most wealthy and in- fluential members withdrew and orgunized a second Baptist: chureh. The building Is fin- ished and furnished throtghout in oalk, with oilfinish; neatly and beautifully carpetea and papered. Itis furnished with ull the latest convenionces, such as inclined floor, steam heat, electric light, etc. The dedication services were held at3 o'clock vesterday in a most appropriate man-— ner and were conducted by Rev. B. A. Rus- sell of Ord. Rev. T. M. Williams of Lincoln delivered tho dedicatory prayer. 1In the evening Rev. Dr. Hudson of Tekamah de- livered an 1nteresting sermon to a crowded house. The question now arises as to whether this church will be recognized by the State asso- ciation.” Rev. Dr. McConnell of the old church says that they will not be, but the new church members are confident that they will. Interesting times are in store in the near future. The new church starts out with a membership of about 100, Box Butte's Beet Sugur Convention, Avruiaxce, Neb,, Jan, 11.—[Special to Tre Ber.]—-Although a heavy snow fell all day Baturday the crowd was by no means a small one that attended the county beet sugar con- vention and the ball was taxed almost to its full capacity, Mr. M.

ORLEANS, ttie Kent -Pote Willls, slusion —Ied: THE BEE BUREAU, Tue Ber Bureav or Crayiws in Washing- ton has done a good work for the residents of this section in attending to the claims arising under the (ndian deprodations act. It has saved those who have taken advantage of its offer from the unconsclouuble charges of tho regular claim agents, and has benefited tho others by forcing the agents to demand only moderate fees in order to get business, The long delay over the passage of the act ha given the claim agents time to make co! tracts thut would give them the lion’s share of the appropriation, Many of the claimants haa veen fnduced tosign contracts guaranteo- ng the agent from one-third to over 50 per cent of the claims in caso they were allowad, The depredations act aunulled these oxtor- tionate contracts und sot the limit of agents’ fees at 15 per cent, to be increased in certain cases to 20 per cent on the order of tho court of claims, But so many complaints wore made of the action of the agents, and so many inquiries for u reliable agent wore sent to this office, that it was decided to establish a bureau under the direct charge of Tuz Bee to pro- act its subscribers and @ive thom t he bene- fits of the law at the lowest possible charges, The buraau has mora than justified its es- tablishment. It has attended to the claims of a large number of the sufferors by the inj dlan raids in the west. It is doing the work t5 to 12 per cent, taking in many instances lv the actual cost of pushing the claim. A mostof thoss wao 103t their property ougn the Indian raids ars prri. ons ot mall means who couid not goto Wasnington hemselves, the establishment of the bureau where they can be certain of exact and just treatment” has reached those who needis most. The persons who have suffered losses from the Indians since June 1. 1866, will do well to remember, however, that the tiwe witnin which claims can be presented is limited. If they are not put in within the appointed time they aro forever oarved. Moreover the court of claims goes on the plan, “first come, first served,” and 1t bpehooves. sufferers to place their claims before the proper authori- ties at an early date. The contracts made bofore the passage of the act have, as stated, been annulled by con- gress. It is therofore necessary for claim- ants to make new contracts or arraugements with their agents, aud they are left free to engage new agents if they are not satisfied with those they had engaged before. This will enable them to make much more favor- able terms for thopselves than were had while the passage of the actwas still in doubt, The bureau has received the indorsement of all tne congressmen and officiuls who have auything to do with the subject of claims, A letter, from Representative Herman of Oregon, chairman of the committee on Indian depredations, has alreudy been published in behalf of the bureau, and similar expressions have come from others. If any subscriber requiressuch services und is in doubt where to'apply, he will find tho address of Tire Bk Bureau of Claims in the advertising column SoeT THE INDIAY GLALLS. Tue Bee BUREAU oF Cuirys, in dealing with the claims arising under the Indian depredations act, has been successful in pro- tecting a large number of subscribers and others from extortion and loss. Krom com- plaiuts thut. have coms to it, however, 1t ap- pears thut many of the claimants do not un derstand their position under the act. At a time when there appeared to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, they signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarier to one-half the amount to the agent in case the money should be collected. In view of this oxtortion con- gress inserted a provision in the act sunul- ing all contracts and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 20 per ceut. The claimants ail probably understand that the agent's commission has been limited by tho law, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are free to do as they pleasé about omployug the agent they had fivst chossn. They con siger that they are still bouna to employ the agent with whom they sizned the exor bitaa contracts whether they are satsiad witn ° him or not. 1t was the iniontion of congress to protect them at ajl points and they were left on the passaga of the act free to do as they pluased and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 of the act atated: *“That all salos, transfers or assignraents of any such claims horetofore.or, hereafter mude, except such as.haye occurred in the due administration of decedents’ es tates, and all contracts heretofore made for fees and allowauces to claimants’ attorneys are herony declared void. There could be no mistake abont the mean- ing of this. Allclaimants had to make new contracts with agents after the passage of the act, and tnoy were at liberty to employ any ono they pleased, If they were pleased with the zeal and acts of their first aent thev might make their new contract with him. Ifthey were dissatised thoy might choosa any other agent that they plensed. Those who have not signed new contracts sincethe passage of the act mav profit by this 10 secure much betier terms than thoy could otherwise get from the agents. 'he faot that Tug Bre Bukrav is doing the work for the bare expense involved has had a good effect in moderating the charges of all agenty 1o those who know how to protect them- selves.

Mexiean Officials Say Pepce Relgns Their Side of the Rio Grande—Presi- dent Dinz Gratitude Towurd on xpresses United States, Drsixe, N. M., Jan, 10.—Couriers from Ascension, in the state of Chihuahua, 100 miles south, report a torrible uprising there Thursday. Ior some time bad feeling has existed between the adherents of the church party and the supporters of the Diaz govern- ment. Affairs reached a crisis Thursday, when the clection of the preside nt of the town was held. Rafael Anchia, who had twice held the oMice, was re-elucted by a fow votes. Anchila was distateful to the posi- tion on account of his efforts o inaugurate veform and throats were openly made against his life. About 4 o'clock in the after- roon & mob of 100 men suddenly surrounded the city building and opened fire. Anchila and his friend Davelas were instantly killed, The mob then took possession of the town, aftor a hard fight with the frionds of Auchila. During the battle three revolutionists were kiiled and many on botu sides fatally wounded. Franco Sanzo, one of ohe leaders of the mob, was among the killed. The impression prevails that this is a movement in support of Garza. ‘The strength of the insurgents is reported as oighty armed men. Troops are reported to be hastening to the point of the outbreak. In the meanwhile the town autborities are in pursuit of the mob and further bloodshed is expected. JOIN T INVADER, Revolutionists Adding to Thelr Strength on the Border, SAN AxToN10, Tex., Jan. 10.—Tho startling information was brought here tonight by J. C. Godfrey from Piedras Negras, Mex., that .there 18 a general uprising in thoe states of Durango, Chibuahua, Coahuila and Sonora, and that the malcontents are well organized and will flock to the staudard of Garza. He states that in parts of Chihuahua the poorer classes have already revolted aud are marching i banas’ of from 800 to 400 across the country, committing dopre- dations. The objective point of these forces is said to be Monterey. Tho governor of Chinuabua has appealed to President Diaz for more troops to put down the rebellion, Garza's revolution in this section has fur- nished no startling news for several days, but this is no indication that the doughty leader has abandoned his plans or that the support of his movement by the peoplo along the border is waning. - While the troops have succeeded. in temporarily upsetting his plans for orgamizing his army, there is no room for doubt that Garza will remain in the field. His men are acquainted with every foot..of the country, aro inured to the hardship of hunuger and thirst and are at home in the saddle. When the troops have succeeded in running on to the revolutionists the latter huve seattered, only to meet at some point probably 100 miles distant. When it is taken into consideration that this country is sparsely setiled and that water csn bo found only at distances of from twenty to thirty miles apart, some idea can be gained of the difficulties which have confronted the troops. While unable to capture Garza their ceaseless vigilance has frustrated his plans of organization and necessitated the shifting of the scenes of enterprise to another quarter. Many who would have joined his ranks have no doubt been deterred by this exhibition of force on the part of the American government, aad the fear of arrest and lr\uf in the federal courts, At presentall is quiet, but parties who know are satisfied that it is the lull before thestorm and that in a few days tho ball will be reopened. Lieutenant Knight, in command of com- pany I, Third cavalry, is stutioned at Carizo, Lieutenant Black, with company A, Third. cavalry, at Par Nuevo, and Captam. Hardio at Calienno. A constant and efliciont syatem of couriers has been organized aud each com- pany now has a guide and trailer, and if any- thing turns up each company Is ready to move at a moment’s notice. Colonel J. P. Martin, adjutant. general of the military headquarters here, today re- ceived a query from Captain Wheeler at Fort Rinegold, asking if he hau authority to arrest without regular warrants or hold without evidence prisoners suspected of haviug violated the neutrality laws. Ho was told to arrest all suspects and turn them over 1o the United States marshals. FEARS OF BLOODSHED, This Time it 15 the Tongue River Indians Who Want War, - St. Pavr, Minn., Jan. 10.—A special from Helens, Mont., says there is‘Ganger of blood- shed on the Tongue River agency. The army ofticers at headquarters here put little faith in the suggestion of bloodshed, but that there is baa feeling on the Tongue River reservation is admitted. - It has existed for a long time, and the killing of cattle referred to in the special occurred about five weeks ago. For a long time the cat- tleman have accused the Indians of killing toeir cattle and during the past few weeks, being unable to get at the Indians 1n any other way, they have been urging the sherift to take a posse and eater the reservation for the purpose of making the arrests, Captain Poutelle of troop K, First cavalry, who is stationed at the agency, heard of this and telegraphed the facts to (General Merritt. Thereupon General Merritt, telegraphed Governor Toole, advising him to prevent the civil aathorities from entering the reservation, since such action could but result in trouble, These Indians ave accustomed to the pres- onco of soldiers, and would quietly submit to an arrest by them, but they would regard the presence of others as an ntrusion of their special domain, and had the posse of whites, under the shoriff, attempted to arrest them, trouble of some sort would have fol- lowed. That it would have been very serious, ar resulted in bloodsned, is extremely doubt- ful, for the cavalry would have easily hold matters in check. This is but the repetition f the periodical Indian scares from the Tougue River agency, and is causing the army officers no uneasiness. HELD IN .

At that time the asso- ciation consisted of some sixty lodges and was #6,000 in deb This debt was guaranteed by Debs’ personal sursty, and he went to work. At the end of the ar the affairs of the order were so promising that he was ro-elected by ac- clamation by the annual convention, and has been at every convention since. The order now comprises 470 lodges and 27,000 members, and has a reserve fund of something like £75,000. Mr. Dobs was elected to the legislature of his state in 1884 and was tendered the nomina- tion to the natioval congress on a *‘sure thing™ hasis, but refused it. In the eleven years of his guardian- ship the order has collected from its members, according to the last report of the board of trustees, the sum of $2,767,- 717.72 and paid out $2,704.935.99. Over $1,800,000 of this has gone out in death and disability claims. In addition to his duties of secretary and treasurer of the order, Mr. Debs is editor of the Magazine, the official organ of the order. % on the Track, Charley Morsey, for thirty-six years an engineer on the Wabash road be- tween Warrenton and' St. Louis, has resigned. < Not only that, he is confined to his bed with an hysterical attack which puzzles physicians. About three weeks ago Engineer Morsey, in making the usual run from Warrenton to St. Louis, caught two young men at the railroad crossing in O’Fallon. Both ‘were instantly killed. It was the very first time in the expa- rience of the veteran engineer that he had met with an accident in which a human life was lost. He was deeply affected, and twice that day the train. was brought to a standstill because he thought ho saw some one on the track. * This hallucina- tion bas grown upon him until he has broken down under the strain. It affected him most peculiarly. At every railroad crossing he imagined he saw people on the track, and passongers on “the fast train would be most unceremon- iously bounced against the sides of the car and bumped against one another by the sudden and unexpected use of the air brakes. On the third trip after the accident Engineer Morsey hroke down. He vowed that when he had completed the run he was then on he would never make another. Thus far he has kept the vow. He resigned his position and went on.a hunting excursion. But this didn’t cure him,and hestill sees faces and hears danger signals. The account of the last trip which Engincer Morsey made is thus given by his firemen: **We pulled out of St. Louis on time, but I noticed that ‘Uncle Charley looking melancholy and oppressed. kept his eyes. glued to the bull’s-eye. Usually he'is cheerful and pleasant and an entertaining talker. Ho has been on the run for thirty years and knows the personal history of nearly every inhabi- tant of every little town along the road. His gloom increased as we got heyond the suburbs, and beyond telling me to ‘Heap her up, Billy,’ he wassilent. We made the run without incident we reached St Poter’s. don’t stop there according schedule, and usually go through the town at a rattling gait. Suddenly I saw him jerk the throttle and the next minute the train was at a standstill, while, with a white, drawn face, Uncle Charley was running along the fireboard. ‘My God!’ he groaned, us he returned to the cab and started the train aguin, L was sure L saw a liitle Saw Vixio bu?'. “The rest of the trip, a distance of xty miles, he was completely unnerved the last thirty I held the throttle myself.

You'll | go,”said Matt, straightening up. **And your fireman?’ “‘I'll take Harry, here. It's go- ing to be a dark run tonight, and I don’t want strange hands about the ongine, We understand each other,’ “Thut was as fine a compliment as Matt ever gave and I felt proud. But I was only little potutoes in this deal, The superintondent morely glanced ut me and, turning to Matt, continued: **A lone engine might crente suspleion, 80 we'll make up a wild freight. They’ll all be emptios. Back down to the office before you couple on and we'll put the safe uder the coal in the tender.’ “That was all. He jumped off and disappeured. For some time Matt and 1 sat staring at each other, then he slid off his seat und said: “*This_won’t do, supper! Itonly lacksa fow minutes . of 6. back before the quarter.’ ““The wind was whistling umong the cars, whisking, the dust and papers about, while in the south a big black cloud was coming up, resplendent with chain lightning. All together, the night promised to bo unusually bad. “I was ba on time, but ‘Matt was there before me. He had lighted the shaded steam-guage lamp and stood scanning a small piece of pasteboard, **What do you make of this, Harry?’ he asked, as I climbed up beside him, ‘I found it pinned to my cushion.’ “On it was scrawled witha lead pencil the words: **Danger! Don’t pull the wild freight tonight if you value your lives. A TRUE FRIEND.’ ** I take 1t that some one besides the superintendent and us knows of it,’ I re- plied, the cold shivers beginning to chase each other up my spinal column. ‘There’s danger ahead!” ‘“*Aye, there is dangor ahead my boy,” and old Matt spoke softer than T had ever beard him before. ‘If you want to-—" **‘I’ll go where you lead,” I replied quickly, knowing what he was going to say. ***Then we'tl go through if it takes the wheels out from under! Ring up the wipers!’ “*And, without waiting for the hostler to run the engine out, old Matt backed her on to the turntable, whore the wipers swung her around, and then we backed down to the offic where four trusty men soon had the square sufe under the coul. A few minutes later we wero coupled on to a half dozen empty freight cars and a caboose. **“There’s your orders!’ cried Jimmy O’Connor, the conductor, shoving up the yellow sheets of tissue paper. +0ld Matt looked them over, nnd we begun to move out of town. **We've got a clear track,’ he said, looking across at me, and then he drow un the corners of his mouth and I looked for a quick run, “*Beforo we reached the outskirts of the town the rain began to come down in a perfeet deluge. Great drops, mixed with hail, and in such quantity that the dry drains were soon transformed into raging croeeks. *The wind howled and shrieked above the rumble of the train, and threat- ened to lift 67 off the rails. When the telegraph polea began to snaff off, Matt’s face began to lengthen, **Good night for wash-overs,’ L you to Supper, Harvry ‘We haven’t much time to lose, Be steam used was to run the air pump, 1 had only to keep the fire alive, *[1ght miles down we ran pasta small station where a freight train was sid tracked.
