A Trio of Dusky Maldens Whose Melody Soothes the Savage Hreast. About the middle of this month three pretty Indian girls, Rosa, Rena and Carrie Bluejacket, will arrive in Chi- cago to furnish music at the Indian con- gress to be held at the World's fair. These young ladies are remarkably talented vocalists, their gift having been discovered by the merest accident. A little more than ten years ago a travel- ing musician was passing an Indian's farm house in the wilds of the northwest- ern corner of the Indian Territory. Play: ing out under the trees were three dusky: facced girls. He stopped his horse,leansd over the fence and watched them. The oldest had scarcely seen & dozen sum- mers. She was drumming on an old wagon seat that had been turned over to serve as an imitation piano. Her sisters were singing to the weird accompaniment. The long black hair of the three children was loose and flowed about them in the wind. Oblivious to the presence of the stranger the children continued their concert. The melody delighted the listener, who could not leave the scene. At last, when the music was ended, the three tots teampered into the house. The stranger followed them inside. He found that they were the daughters, Rosa, Rena and Carrie, of a Cherokee Indian named Stephen Bluejacket. The musician told the mother of the charm of their voices, and advised her to send them to some town where they could receive musical instruction. The parents, who are intelligent and pro- gressive, followed the stranger's advice, and moved to Vinita, I. T. There the girls' voices attracted the attention of Rev. D. N, Allen, the Presbyterian mis- sionary. He extended tothem the facil ities of his choir instruction, and soon they became known throughout the Indian Tervitory. The novelty and ichness of their singing at- tracted visitors to the little h from all parts of the ter- The cowboys hat had known them when they were little came from miles around to hear their voic One of the most interesting conversi recorded in the w was indirect! to the Indian girls' singing.

All right, I'll try,” was the repiy. Down the street came Hank on his pony. a wicked gleam in his eye. His friend ingeniously got into a dis- cussion with him about the relative speed of their horses. *‘To settle it, I'l1 race you to Vinita,” he said. “If T win you must go to Mr. Allen’s church.” This proposition struck Hank favorably, and soon the match was mad Hank had the better pony, but he had worn it out.during the previous day's carouse, and he was beaten to Vinita. He stood by the promise, and when Mr. Allen looked over his congregation, in one of the rear seats ho saw the **Ter- ror of the Plain Hank was uneasy, but when the Misses Bluejacket rose to sing in the choir he was all attention. Before the service was over Watson was a changed man. He came back to the evening service, and eventually became converfed. He always attributed his change of heart to the influence exerted upon him by the singing of the Indian girls. Last fall Miss Sickles had occasion to visit the Indian nations in the interest of the Indian congress at the World's fair, and of the committee of which she {s chairman. She went to Vinita and visited Mr. Allen’s church on Sunday. Hearing there those marvelously rich solos and duets from the black haired choir, she secured the three girls' pres- ence at the Press Club fair during last May, where they delighted all who heard their fresh young voices. Rosa, the eldest, is 22 years old. She plays the accompaniments. Rena, who has a very sweet and strong soprano, is 20, while Carrie, whose alto has won for her the sobriquet of ‘“the Indian Scalehi,” is two years younger. Miss Carrie has also the purest of Indian features, and her beautiful profile real- i all that is lovely in the painter's conceptions of Pocaliontas.

C. The frame consists of two main sticks twenty-eight feet long, weighing each 100 pounds, aud two cross sticks twenty-one feet long and weighing seventy-five pounds each. All the sticks were two by six inches in dimension. Over the frame: work was stretehed a great sheet of white duck, twenty-five by eightecn feot, which weighed fifty-five pound. The tail of the kite alone weighed fifty unds and contained 155 yards of mu; in. Twenty-five hundred feet of one- half inch rove served as kito strings. The plaything cost $100, and when it is mounted into the air it exerts a lifting power of 500 pounds. Six men onca per- mitted it to ascend 1,000 feet. -~ Grover Kemained Indoors.

L. Hotze, in this city, which will reopen A case that many years ago startled all of Europe. The testimony will bo given by a man who, more than thirty-four years ago, stood before the bar of justice to answer for the crime of murder. The man was con- victed, sentenced to death by decapitation, had his sentence commuted to imprisonment for life, and finally at the expiration of twelve years was pardoned by the king, bun- {shment from Germany befug one of the con- ditions of the pardon, says the Cleveland, 0., correspondent of the St. Louis Glove- Democrat. The man thus sentenced, pardoned and banished lefs Germany at once, spent a short time in Detroit, a year or so in Chi- cago and then camedirect to Cleveland, hav- ing lived here ever since. He had but one aim, but one ambition in life, to clear his reputation and good name and bring those to justice whom he had regarded as his ene- mies and persccuters. Being poor and friendless he realized that in order to accomplish his ends he must ac- quire wealth, for with all due respects to the lady with a handkerchiof tiea around her eyes and a pair of old fashioned scales in her hands, justice, though immaculate, is mighty expensive, and a poor young man banished from his home across the water, could scarcely hope for justice with all tho Judicial machinery of a power like Germany against him, Schaber's Ambition, The young man's zame was John Schaber. He came to Cleyeland twenty years ago, friendless and without money. He opened a icture frame manufactory in a small way. His business increased from year to ) and for some years past_the firm has bee known as Schaber, Reinthal & Co., molding and picture frame manufacturers, from 205 to 305 Spring strect. In busy times some 300 men are employed in the concorn, and it s one of the largest manufactories of the kind in tho United States. John Schaber is at the head of the firm and for many years past has been devoting his time and money to secure a new trial. The goul of his ambition has almos€ been reachedl, for a new trial is oue of the events of the near future. “The story of the murder, trial, conviction and sentence reads like a romance. It is like a page torn from the tales of horror of the dark uges znd in this age and country 1t seems incredible that men whose object seoms to be justice should so torture their victim as to_put to shame the Spanish in- quisition. The incidents that led up to the crime for which John Schaber suffored aro as follow: Prologue of the Stoiy, In June, 1850, a number of young men of the village of Happenback, Wurtembourg, were fined in the adjoiing village of Unter Heinrieth for muking night hideous. This was the origin of the trouble. One night Schaber, then about 22 years of age, visited his girl, Christine -Karle, and, returning home late, came ucross (the young men, who were evidently under the influence of drink and acted 1n a disgraceful manner. A village policemen, afraid to attack and arrest the su- perior number, took young Schaber's name, and the next day the disturbersiof the peace were arrested and fined, young Schaber invol- untarily appearing ns wituess against them. <A few weeks later Schaber and his gir) took a walk toatown namea Heilorona. On the return journey they stopped at a place called Gruppenbach, had some wine at the inn and resumed their journey. The village of Hap- penbach, the home of the young men who were fined, is half way between Gruppen- bach and Hoinrioth, and at the Happenbach inn they made‘another stop, whore they met a young man named George Eckstein. In the inn the Karle girl entertained a young man from Gruppenbach, arousing the demon jealousy in the breast of young Schaber. He drank wine to excess, and while the wine was getting the best of him, Eckstein hur- ried 1n and informed him that the young men against whom he had testified were waiting in the roadway to ‘*do him up.” In the darkness of the night Schaber, Eckstein and the girl left the inn, and, after having walked a short distance, the wine overpow- ered Schaber, and he stretched himself upon the ground. While his two companions were making an effort to raise him, 4 young man named Christian Weber came down the hill and excitedly informed Schaber that a little further up the roadway several young men were waiting for him, armed with limbs of troes. Lhis so enraged Schaber that he jumped to his feet, and, taking hola of Woeber's arm, exclaimed: ‘*‘Show them to me! Show me where they arel” Result of the Fight, Weber did as directed, and Schaber fol- lowed him, brandishing a pocket knife and making threats. Arriving at the place desig- nated by the guide two young men jumped from ambush, In the meantime they were followed by Eckstein and the girl, and while the latter “two and Weber were engaged in quarreling with the two young men, Schuber ran ahead to look for the rest of the gang. He found them, and ran upon them with the words: “So you fellows want to whip me, do you?” Scarcely were these words uttercd before they felled Schaber to the carth with the limbs of the trees each carried. He quickly recovered, however, and with knife in hand went for them. At the same moment he felt that his arms were held fast by Eck- stein, and the attacking party beat a retreat. Returning to the roadway ho found Miss Karle, Wober and one of the attacking party, a young man of 17 named Friederich Fooll! He tore himself loose from Fckstein and made anattempt to attack Foell, who fled down the roadway in the direction of Hap- peabach. Schaber followed him, soon lost the trail, however, and returned to the Hap- penbach inn. He fell asleep in the inn, Miss Karle bathed his wounds and as he awoke from his stupor found that Eckstein had left the inn. A lan{( 2"!0 elapsed and after Kckstein returned théy all went howe, It Was & Tragedy, It develobed laser that the young man Foell was murdered some little distance from the scene of phe fight described above, For somo duys ho g not missed, becuuse 1t was supposed his ilsénce was due toa fear of the law for being,_one of the attacking party. Schaber inténded to swear out war- rants against the YoUng men, but an inter- mediator appeared aud he accepted 17 floring from the young fellows, thus settling the trouble out of courk.. Jickstein wanted a part of the woney, but}zch:nbur refused to give it up, and after that the relations between the trained. gter, July 2, the mur- _Wwas found, with skull Less than a wee, dered body of Foel! crushed and mutilated with seven knife and two friends be«'am} i other wounds. The body was discovered some little distancg from the scene of the fight, concealed ong the tall corn. It then dawned upon Schaber that perhaps he really responsible for the young man’s wic death. He brooded over the matter, appeared beforo the judge of Weinsberg and told him the story of the fight. A pre- liminary examioation was beld. Schaber wus arrested July 4, charged with the erime of murder and bound over to the court av Heilbronn. Ecksteln was also arrested as Schaber's accomplice, August Eckstein made a confession, but Schaber persistently declared his innocence. Months of Torture, Young Schaber soon found himself ina vermin-infested cell in the prison at Heil- bronn. Days and weeks passed. He asked for an nvestigation in vain, and one day the inquisitor, who investigates crimes, a " man named Bucher, appeared iu his ceil. Schaber made bis statements and Bucher declared them all to belies. Bucher informed Scha ber that Eckstein iud also been arrested charged with the sawe crime, and that he had made a full confession implicating Schaber. This astonished Schaber, inasmuch as he knew that he had committed no crime in common with Eckstein, and that he had never suspected ckatein of being responsible for Foell's deash. For hours Bucher stood before Schaber in his efforts to force a confession from him, heaped all sorts of epithets upon him, and thoroughly convinced of the untfuthfulness of Eckstein's confession, Schaber demanded that he be given an opportunity to meet him face to face. Handcuffs were placed upon Schaber, and Eckstein, also securely handeuffed, walked into the door. The moment he entered Schaber exclaimed : “‘Can you truthfuily say that I killed the boy with you!" and Eckstein replied: “They'll soon tell you all about it.” . Led back to his prison, Schaber said: *'If Eckstein really made that confession he alone must be the guilty one for I have done nothing of the sort.”” At subsequent hear- ings Schaber made the same statement to Bucher. By and by # sccond meet- ing was arranged between the two men charged with the bloody deed. Eckstein sat upon a chair next to Bucher, and Schaber. chained and hand- cuffed, stood on the opposite side of the room, when Eckstein told the story of the murder {n detail. Bucher's next objoct was to wring A confession from Schaber. He made him maay visits in his cell, and on one occasion Schaber, chained and handcuffed, was compelled to stahd seven long hours, while Bucher plied him with questions and swore at him. Upon the table near by was the grinning skull of the murdered boy. Bucher askea the accused to go to the table and fairly shrieked the word “Here, gaze at your vietim, you manslayer!” Saying so he took Schaber’s head into his hands and rubbed his face upon the skull. For months these scenes wero repeated in the torture chamber, and thus wearied and harassed death secemed a welcowe relief, so one day he finally consented to say: ‘“If I must confess, driven to it by theso tortuves, then everything that Eckstein says regard- ing the murder is true.” The next day, however, after having recovered to a degree from the tortures inflicted upon him, he re- called his confession, but the examination was declared to be at an end and the prisoner was removed 1o Ludwigsburg to be tried by jury, His Murder Trial, The trial was the throughout German father rotained Attorn gart to defend him.

The sontence of death by beheading followed shortly after the verdi of guilty, This s how commuted t sonment for After passing a short time in orison Schaber was advised to ask the king for pardon, but refused, infsting that he was innocent. He made every effort imaginable, however, to secure a new trial, and every time he was refused. Even his own parents, to whom he had written for attorneys, were intimidated into refusing the request. He then .uade un effort to smuggle a petition to the king by a discharged prisoner, but the prisoner botrayed him and surrendered the petition to the prison authorities, who inter- cepted it. The result was that for eight days he was kept in a dark dungeon, chained to the wall. and subsisted on bread and water. Other similar ana_even worse pun- ishments were inflicted for further attempts to securea new trial, and even corporal punishment was resorted to.

Finally at the expiration of two more years his spi were 50 completely shattered that he wrote to the king asking for pardon, which was granted on condition that he leave the country, the same condi- t'ons being imposed on Kckstein, and both emigrated to America, Eckstein having preceded Schaber two years. Unhappy was the fate of Schaber's three worst enemies. Eckstein was sued for di- vorce by his wife, the divorce was granted, he remarried, and four weoks after his mar- riage, about a year ago, he died. In July, 1800, Attorney Becher. who be- traved his client, Schaber, died, and the fate of Inquisitor Bucher was even worse, In 1801 he was removed to an asylum for the insane, but was dis- charged as cured. About that time Schaber published a statement of his case, giving his defense in detail. One of them was sent to the government and Bucher was asked to make a veply to it. This he did, and about six weeks ago the minister of justice asked him to resign. The last heard from Frederich Klemm, the principal witness for the prosecution, he was a Mothodist minister in Germany, and not long since Schaber senv a letter across the water insisting that he be arrested on the charge of perjury. The samo statement which apparently caused Bucher's downfall was scuttered broadeast throughout Germiny and caused no little excitement. Many papers made omments, and one ot them, publishe tuttgart, known as the Scnwaebischer wacht, not only published the statement in full, but enthusiastically championed Scha- ber's cause. The paper was at_once conth cated by the government and the editors a rested for libel on German justice. Schaber, just as determined tc stick by his friends as 10 punish his enemies, insisted on pay ing all the expenses of the libel suit. —_—— KLECTRICAL NOTES, Local telegrams are now transmitted through pneumatic tubes in most of the principal cities of Great Britain. At present about fifty miles of such wubes are in opera- tion, requiring an aggregate of 400-hoise power and transmitting a daily average of 105,000 messages, or 30,000,000 aknually. Itis announced that the New York, New Haven & Harcuford Railroad company has decided to follow the example of the Penn- sylvania railroad, and crect along its entire system a line of long distance telephone poles with which to transact its business be- tween important points. It is figured tha there will bo big economies in substituting the tolophone for tho telegraph, A party of eastern capitalists, sald to have some connection with the Sants e railroud system, has been visiting the Grand Canyon of the Ciolorado river for the purpose of in- igating the feasibility of laying an eloc- tric cable 50 miles in lengeh alk he river with which to darive small steamers up through the Bla Canyon and other scenic points, where the cliffs, over a milo in height, overhung the stream. Power is to be genor- ated by water wheels driven by the current of the river itself, or wherever feasible she water will be diverted into canals cut in solid granite walls and dropped into the riyer again, Au iuteresting example of electricity as work is now in operation at The whole of the usual farm machinery, such as threshing, sowing, corn threshing and the like, are here driven by ectric motor. T'he electricity is gener- ated by water power, the turbine wheel which drives the dynamo being about 1,000 yards from the farm. The electric current is conveyed by underground wires to the house and farm, in each of which a storago battery is placed. These supply the electrie current for lighting and motive purposes when the machinery is not working. The whole of the inansion is illuminated by elee. tric light and an electric motor is provided for pumping the water for domestic purposes. ‘The experiment to be made in the u electric locomotives in the tunnel that has been built by the Baltimore & Ohio railroad under the city of Baluumore is expected to give un almost conclusive answer to the (uestion whether electric motors can be eco- nomically used on elevated and suburban roads now operated by steam locomotives. The locomotives are to he used to haul both passenger and freight trains. They bave been completed by the General pany and are the most powerful ever con structed. Each is of 1,200-horse power and consists of threeseparate trucks coupled to- gether to form one motor. The weight on dariving wheels is 100 tons, and re are twelve drivers to each locomwotive. Tne max- imum weight of freight trains to be hauled is placed at 1,200 wons, w! i can be carried ata speed of ‘fifteen wmiles an hour; of p senger trains, 500 tous; speed, thirty miles an hour. The current will be supplied to the motors by the regular trolley wire, with ground return through the rails.

There was murder in Dick Payne's heart last night when he made an assault upon James Holmes with a long, sharp bladed knife, The assault was committed on Twenty- fifth stroet near N, at South Omaha, just back of the World's Fair saloon about 8 o'clook in the evening. Holmes, who is juni- tor in Tom Rock's saloon, had just come out of that place and crossed the street when ho met Payne. As he stepped up on the walk Payne said, “You you have been talking about and I'm goin’ to get even.” As he spoko he whipped out an ugly knife and made a slash at Holmes, striking aim just under the right eye. Holmes szang back, but as he moved Payne followed up and made. another dive at him with the knifo, this time planting the weapon in lis right side. Holmes cried out for Payne to let up, as he was killing him, and at this Payne again plunged the long blade into his body. This wound was just below the heart and came within an ace of causing instant death. Aftor this thrust Payno dashed up the alley and got away. Holmes fell to the sidewalk bleeding and faint. The polico wore soon on the scene and conveyed Holmes to the police station, where Dr. Slabaugh dressed the injured man's wounds. As soon u4s this was done the victim was taken to his home on Twenty- seventh street, between L. and M. Mrs, Holmes was sent for whilo the doctor w dressing the gashes, as it was at fiest thought the man would dio before any as- sistance could be rendered. His chances for recovery are still very doubtful. Payne Will Bo Captured.

At Fort Riley next Tuesday a monu- ment to the United States soldierskilled at Wounded Knee in December, 1890, will be unveiled. The ceremony will have more significance than occasions of this sort are wont to have The battle ot Wounded Knee. says the Kansas City Journal, is the lust fight that has taken place in the United States between the Indians and the regu troops. It may go on record as the | Indian war in this country after a desul- tory conflict between whites and reds lasting for 400 years. In that long span thousands of lives have gone out in lu- dian warfare. There have been massi cres, long wars, assassinations, bloody butcheries—all manner of confli 5 marked the advance of tion against the aborigine. Twenty-four United States soldiers were killed at Wounded Knee, S. D., on Monday, December 20, 1800. The battle was the culmination of an extended di: turbance among the Indians about P Ridge and Standing Rock. Old Sitting Bull, the wily chief who had so many times promised to be a good Indiun, grew surly and threatenod to gather his warriors and go to the Bad Lands to begin a wint campaign against the settlers, Trouble brewa all through the carly part of December, but until the middle of the month no serious out- break was expected by those of the whites who knew the habit and aisposi- tion of the Sioux. On Decembor 15 Sit- ting Bull again announced that he was about to lead the warriors away from the agency. Fearing that he meant to put his threat into exeeution, the Indian police were ordered to capture the aged chief. They proceeded to do their duty and a skirmish followed, in which Sitting Bull was killed. The news of the chief's death and the manner of it served to inflame the Sioux nation and much war talk resulted. At Wash- ington, however, the old Indian fighters thought that the death of the principal chief would put an end to the troubles. Out in the bleak Lills of South Dakota the war spirit of the Sioux was growing. The death of the old chief found the young braves nerved up toa struggle against the whites, and only a word was necessary to name a ne 1 er and eontinue the work of agitation. The flamo was fanned until the closing davs of the month, when the battle of Wounded Knee began and cnded the war. On that day the aroused tacked the Catholi Ridge agency. TheSey rived in time to engage th ndians, and at encounter ensned, Botween soventy-five and 100 of the redskins were Sioux at- mission at Pin ith cavalry ar- Kelly, Cain, Rook, Hodges, Murphy, Forrest, Newell, MecCua, Logan, Costello, Ragan, Christianson, Ranaka, Tafrey and Adams It is to these brave men, whose batile y was “Remomber Custer,” that the Fort Riley menument will be unveiled next Tuesday. They lived there, and it was from that placo that they went oft into the Dakota hills to_fight the red- skins in the snow of a Docomber even- ing. Fitting it is that under the shade of Fort Riloy should be a shaft to the momory of those brave Indian fghtors.
