Clements, of the Christy Fire Clay company of St. Louis, has secured an option on 6,000 ac il land in the Ouchita river distr; in Arkansas and it may go far toward solving the smoke guestion, It is what is known as smokeless coul. The Globe-Democrat says it can be burned on the floor in a parlor without giving off any smoke. Mr. Clements has been after the prop- erty for some time, and has had the coal tested in the Christy works, the Chrystal Plate Glass works, the Belleville ” Gas works and other places. hipment of it is to be received at the St. Louis San- itary company’s works to be tested there. The coal is found in a large deposit, the vein being forty-two inches wide, 1t contains 20 per cent oil, which has been found to be very valuable in making paint. A bar “of iron painted with it has been placed in a fire and sub- mitted to an intense heat without dis- turbing the paint. It is also claimed that one ton of this coal will produce as much steam as ten tons of that used here. It is also claimed that it is much better for gas than Pittsburg coal, which is usdd here entively. The only ques- tion is said to be the expense in placing the coal on the market here. As far as can be seen it can be mined and placed on the barge at 50 cents a ton, and can be landed here at $3.50 at a good profit. If this provesto be true, it is said that Mr. Clements. has something better than a gold mine, and the deposit is an inexhaustible supdly, . “To 8| Men," Do you want to spend the day in Lin- coln?

The effect on colleges here and abroad, he thinks, has been brought about to a large degree by the decrease in drinking in society.

They understood, ever, that a certain greut adve a busiuess house that made p: ines, was willing furnish books at penay euch if they sowe advertiscients to be placed in the books. They thought that wculd be no special harm, that they might have a few pages of advertisements bound up with Watts and Doddridge. Aecordingly they agreed to the propesition. The books came, duly printed, and they.got down to the church on the 24t of December. On Christnias nwrnhlf the model Chris- tians, wno hud mo ghought of, anything but roligionygos up tocsing. . Fheir pastor gave out by the firstcline'a very fdmiliar hymn. They.all.expected that it would-be given out.

The good old man listened patiently to the ravings of his parishioner and closed the discussion with the remark: “Did 1 really say that my father would not have set you with his dogsi 1 was wrong, sir; I believe he would.” *“Your husband préached from the same text that his father did tho last time ho was in that pulpit,” remarked o good deacon to the wife of # young minister who was re- visiting his boyhood home. “ndeed,” roplied the lady, at once inter- ested. *‘I hope,” she continued. *'that it was not the same sermon.’’ +Oh, no,” suidthe deacon, In a depreca: tory manner, ‘b8 father was a dreadful smart man.” . o A missionary in London asked a woman y if she had a bible in the house, O, " wus the reply, “we would mot live without one,” ‘Il you read it!” he asked, “No,” she answered. *‘Then what do you keep it fort” he inquired. “O, you se it is always ready i case of sickness,” R TWO MORE BAKVEST EXCURSIONS, Low Kates to tha Southwest and Texus.

Warerooms, 9th and Jackson. plums, per BUILDING ASSOCIATION NOTES, The associations of Indianapolis have 86, 000,000 outstanding in loans. ‘The Mutual of Omaha expects to mature its first series early in 1804, All the receipts of tho Omaha for the next four months are eugaged by borrowers, The Equitable of Grand Island, Neb., opened a niew sories recently and disposed of 200 shares in short order. Following the general trend of business, tho Nebraska has moved its ofico from Four: teenth strect to Sixteenth and Farnam, The legislative ussembly of Ontario, Can., passed u Jaw prohibiting associations from transacting business boyond the county in which they are incorporated. Notwithstanding the stringency of the times and. the lack of employment, with- drawals are but a wrific above the average in Omaha, while the demand for money ex- ceeds the supply. Omaha associations have learned by expe- rienco that greater care must be exercised in ths .ital matter of investments. It has been found at considerable cost that valua- vions based on boom prices are n delusion and a snare. Low values and small loans are now the rule. If a home that rents for be purchused for £2,00( sociution lends the mor cost per month, exclusiv something over eleven years will be $20' per month. If the house is » rented one the whole bundle of vent reccipts, suy 140 in number, would not sell in a junk stop for 1 penny. If the 20 per month is paid wto a carcfully managed building association for the same length of time, the book in which the receifts are written, if transferred to the association, will command #2,000. In other words it will clear the home from debt. There is, therefore, a vast difference between the two kinds of receipts named. The Omuha has issued its somi statement, forming a basis from which fu- ture reports are to be made. The change from quarterly to semi-innual statements was made necessary by the adobtion of the Ohio plan. The aggregate receipts in ten years and two months amounted to &87,439. Of this sum $181,544 paid out in the demption of sha 00 is reprosented outstanding loans, distributed among hoiders of first ser shares, 816,318 puid as interest and $11,18; a3 expens The association holds reul estute valued at §1 tics foot up $91.268.95. The number of shares in force is 3,887, of which 323 are pledged for loans. Among the important innovations of the Omaha is the creation of a reserve fund for the better protection of the association against investment losses. “Building and loan associations,” says the Ledger, “ure of incalculable value in a way mnot always recognized as fully as it should be. Their influence is al- wuys quictly working in tho direction of good citizenship, the corollary of thrift the world “over. In conservig the public order )20 per month can nd the building as- to purchase it, the of taxes, ete., for nnual -they are an important aid to the police es- tablishment.

It is among the floating, nomadic, houseless, unscttled portions of the community we must look for the germs of anarchy and public disorder.

These fasts, said to be in commemoration of Moscs' ascent to Sinai and his descent therefrom, were not obligatory on the Jews, but were observed pretty generally. The early Christians did not cease to be Jews because they followed Christ, so they mamtained their old custows aud fastings. So, too, the Catholic church obtained the fast day. and in keeping with its custom of retain- ing the heathen or nonchristian ceremonies under Christian conditions, the church soon proposed the Friday fast' in memory of Christ's death, The custom of Friday fast was maintal by the early Christiuns without any especial idea on their part, so that it is probably impossible to say when it ceased to be a relic of Judaism and became & mark or duty of Christianity, The Chur s of Christ in Iowa held a Convention in Oskaloosa last weei.

WAR STORIES BRIEFLY TOLD A Remarkablo Instance of Heroism Evinced by Young-Man-Afraid, RARE COUR\GE AND TELLING ELOQUENC General Lee's Only War Story—~Wild Hog, Last of the Cheyennes—Ruttle of Yellow Tavern—-Many Other Incidents, Young-Man-Afraid was always tho firm and unwavering friond of the gov- ernment and the whites, The following incident proved his friendship: In & tember, 1875, during the exploration of the Black Hills, 20,000 of th tion were at Chadron creck, twenty-ive miles from Fort the neavest military post. was being held a_ gencral council of the Sioux with a United States commission sent from Washington to treat with the Indians for the purchase of the Black Hills, Among the commission General Terry and Senatc Ilison of TIowa. 'To protect the comission th was presont but one company of soldic Captain Egan's troop of the Second cq alry, numbering about fifty men. On the second day of tho conncil there suddenly appeared from the direction of the Black hill:«npm-ly of mounted In- dians numbering 900 warviors in full war regalia, under the leadership of the famous northern chief, Little Big Man. He announced that by an old div n of the hunting grounds, the B Hills had been apportioned to the northern Sioux, and that, he had been sent down from the north by Sitting Bull, not to sell the Black Hills, but to kill the white commissioners. On this announcement Captain Egan at on placed his company imwmediately in the rear of the commissionors’ tents, with their carbines loaded. Little Big Man immediately stationed his warriors in, the rear of Egan's men, whom the mbered seven to one. Captain this move ordered his first serg Littlo Big Man with his carbine the signal from the Indian chicf to five. This was the tablean, with the comwmis- sioners experieneing a rapidi ing attack of ague. now changed by the appear Young-Man-Afraid with a large number of warriors, also in full war rig. He forced, or wedged, his men in between the northern warriors and the caval then addressing Little Big Man, said “My friends from the northeast, look atme. Iam Man-Afraid, chief of the Oglallas. You are now on the hunting grounds of the Oglallas and Brules. Those white men come from the Great Father on amission of peace. They are under our prot If you fight them also fight us. 1'have no more tosay.” The fight did not come off. Little Big Man and his warriors disap- peaved as rapidly to the north as thoy had come. Man-Afraid had saved the commission, During the Indian v the following yea 6, by reason of the influx of whites into ‘the Black Hills, and which resulted in the Custer massacre and the death of many a Black Hiller in 1876 and 1877, while Red Cloud and many of the ageney Indians aided the Indians by sending arms and war- riors north and attacked the Black Hills settlors, Young-Man-Afraid and his immediate band never wavered in their friendship for the whites. It was through his aid and friendship, with a a few others, that the government was enabled to keep the Indians during the succeeding years in check at Pine Ridge without the aid of troops, and offset RRed Cloud and other hostiles in their warlike attempts. And, finally, it was through the aid and influence of Young-Man- Afraid, in January, 1891, that wnat promised to bo a disastrous Indian war was averted. Should trouble aguin with the Sioux nation Youn, Afraid would be missed. Some Cool Stratagem, Lee was never a great talker except under one condition, and that was when he had young ladies to entertain, for then his natural gallantry got the bett of him, and he wus & charming compan- ion, though not what might be called loquacious, and he did not care of the war, inson, wore that succeeded to talk preferving to choose other topics. 1t \as in camp, however, that heso far yielded to the desivesof a couple of faie visitors us to spin a yuin. He had invited two young ladies, cousing of his, to dine with him, and it was to them and threir persuasion that he told the stc of the “Two Confed. Scouts,” which a wriler in the Phila- delphia Times who know the great con- federate intimately decla to be the only war story ever told by him. Cavefully arranging his napkin on the table in front of him and sitting per- e t in his chair, as was his cus- ral Lee said: “When this war isover youwill hear a great deal of praise given the leaders of the armies, and in the attsmpt to do them honor the private soldier will4o a certain oxtent be overlooked. This is unfortunate, since someof thenoblestand most daring deeds of the war were done by privates on both sides. I was once in absolute need of positive information as to the movements of the enemy. My regular scouts were out, 50 I had to select from a regiment of men who were familiar with the section of the country, if not with their mission, Two able-bodied and intelligent men were sent to me, to whom I intrusted the dangerous tusk of crossing the river and going into the neighboring village to ascertain from stragglors the coveted information. They made the trip successtully and re- turned the next noon, not only” with the facts but with the traps and” effects of four union soldi which they obtained in a manner creditable to the coolest and bravest men in either army. “After ferreting out the secrets of the enemy thoy started on the r but were ‘detained by a terrific rain- storm of several hours’ duration, which forced them to shelter until night. When they reached the rviver the found to their chagrin that it was too much swollen to be crossed ina canoo, and the only thing to do was to make a bed of the pine tags on the ground and sleep until morning, when they would proceed unmolested. But they had reckoned without their host.” The enemy’s picket, who had also been driven to shelter by the rain, were out early next morning investigating, and seeing fresh tracks suspected something wrong. Five of them started on the urn trip, trail, plain in the soft earth, and soon came upon the slecping scouts. Feeling confident of having their prisoners secure they thought to have some innocent fun with them and proceeded to jab them in tho back with the points of their bayonets and requested them to come out of the rain. *“‘Hello, Johnny, what are you doin; sgleeping out hore in tho wet like this You will take cold. Come on with us out of the damp.’ “But the sleeping confoderates could not be aroused, and the sontinels, had a big laugh over it, particularly so when ono of thom would partially” turn over and geoan out, ‘Oh, stop that! What are you poking me for? It isn't time for roveille yet," us if he thought he was in his own camp safe and sound. Just in the midst of their groatost outbreak the scouts, with the agility of wild animals, sprang from their couches and with their pistols shot down the two front men, then as quickly dropped the other twa as tho |iJ(h man hastily retroated, leave ing his gun behind him. ““When tho scouts heard the federal squad advancing on them they were tog close to admit of retreat, so they resorted to stratogy and feigned sleep, arranging batween them that at a given signal both should riso and fire on difforent men, taking them so by surprise that the others could be shot also before the could get their guns up. The tricl worked porfeetly, and to it those men not only owe their necks buv the valuas ble information for headquarters and four good Saider viflos and warm over- coats, 1 do not believe that any deed of the v osurpassed this in coolness and The Last of the Cheyenn Wild Hog is the name of a C oyenne chief, albeit he is a chief without o tribe. About fourteen years ago his name was known all over the United States, and millions of people looked. in the morning papers daily to see what he was doing. For a time he filled western Kansas und Nebraska with terror. Now ho resides at Pine Ridge agency, writes a correspondent to the St, Louis Globe- Demoerat, and is one of the poorest and most dilapidated Indians on the reservas tion.

The Indians killed about fo.ty citizens, outraged ten women ana destroyed nearly $40,000 worth of proverty. ~ Wild Hop always claimed that this deviltry was the work. of a fow young bucks who were beyond control, and that they escaped to the reservation. During the flight northward the United States army was always about one day behind the Indians. Finally, Wild Hog and about 200 warriors, together with theie women and children, went into Fort Robinson and surrendered. In- ducements were offored the Indians to return to Indian Territory, but they refused to do so. Finally they were dis- armed, but in the effort’to do so sevoral soldiers and morve indians were killed. Wild Hog was put in irons and contined in the guard house. The other Indians, including thoiv wives and childven, were confined in o long, low building, wh had previously been used as a barracks, Upon their continucd refusal to go back peuceably to Indian itory, an effort was made to subdue them by stacvation. They were deprived of food, water and fuel and closely guarded. But they were tough, and even after several days, which must have been ones of suffering, were still obdurate. It was supposed that they were completoly dis- avmed, but in soine manner they had been able to retain a few rovolvers, Aftor a fow duys of seemingly quict subjection the vigilance of the soldiers was in a measure relaxed, and the guard reduced to six in number, Suddenly, in_ the night, theso were shot down, every ono of them being either killed outright or disabled. The Indians then rushed out and fled up Soldier Creek canon, iy breaks and Lills of Pine Ridge were about half a dozen miles away, and it was the hope of the Indians to reach them before the sleeping soldiers could overtake them. It was a wild race across the ice and snow. Many of the Indians were barefooted and left a trail blood.

They came upon the Indians ina little ravine, or coolie, about two miles north of the fort, They made u stand and fought bravely, but were without arins and the rifles of the cavalry made short work of them, After the soldiers had hausted all th ammunition ther ¢ yot a fow live Indians, and these wero charged upon and cut down with the sword, Wild Hog's tribe was entirely wiped out.
