CONVERTED TO GOOD INDIANS BY CLUBS Detectlon of Nebraska the to Attending A can DifMenities Offenders- The lives of the officers of the regular army is not all one big “snap,” as so many people profess to believe, says the St. Paul Pioneer-1 This is clally true of those who are stationed at some of the frontier poste, One of the most disagrecable things that falls to the lot of an ofticer is when he h ake a de tachment of troops on a practice muarch Aund when the detachment is composed of Indians, who are notorious for their treachery and cunning in secking v venge when they think they have been fmposed upon, the duty may become ab- solutely dangerous. Of all” the Indians of the west the Apaches are deemed to be the most unveliable, as shown some years ago by the experience of Gen Crook with his Apache scouts, winter, among other troops who are out on practice marches, is a troop of Chey- enne Indians under the command of Lieutenunt F. C. Marshull of the Eighth { cavalry, a somewhat recent graduate of West Point, who is pretty well known in Some time ago this young t Fort Keogh, where he is sta- tioned, with a troop of Cheyennes on a march through the Mussclshell country in Montana, Part of the country has never been explored, and Lieutenant Murshall was also detailed to keep an itinerary of the trip and to make maps of the country through which he passed. On the night of December 3 some Crow Indians suceeeded in smuggling into the camp a lot of “awful whisky” and twelve of the men got tighting drunk. They got Lold of carbines and began fiving in the | air. One shot through the licutenant’s | tent while he was dressing a stab in the arm of cne of the Indians, missing him only by a foot. It was quite an acei- tental shot, however., He then took a carbine himself and went out. By the time he had clubbed three of the men to insensibility the rest thought they had had fun enough. He then took the fiving pins out of all the gunsand the next day put half the troop at a time on guard, und kept them thero. Asa re- sult of the fracas one mule was shot to death and a horse received severe flesh wounds in both fore legs and had to be left behind, Ina letter he tells of his experience thus: They Stick Together. “The great trouble ia dealing with these men lies in their absolutely refus- ing togive each other away. It was a dark night and I did not see any shoot, 80 I cannot make a case. When 1 ques- tioned the troop the next morning no man knew anything. Even the man who was stabbed does not know who did it. The sober ones—only twelve of the men were unmanageable—helped me like Trojans, They hid the carbines as fast as they could get them and I took away a good many guns myself, often from the very ones who had seized them before. 1 have not any clear idea of the individuals, I took the names of the drunken ones and tried them all the next morning, but during the shooting, which lasted some ten minutes ln‘%’u we corralled all the guns, the scenes were shifting so rapidly that I could remember nothing. One man that [ was morally sure I had laid out with my carbine turned up in the morning with two guns he had seized. Another whom I could have Bworn to as one of the shootors was out of the camp on a pass and turned up in the morning cold sober. There was a certain element of uncerfainty about it—the camp filled with yelling Indians shooting, mules and horses all but stampeded, kicking and snorting, and the constant puffs of light from a car- bine. We have done all that we can to establish tho guilt of some one certainly, and one boy named Smith (American Horse), who is one of the. quictest and best behaved men in the troop, is the only man 1 feel reasonably sure was in the shooting, und yet every man_in the troop swears that he had no hand in_it. I know he did something, for his head is laid open where he says I hit him. I erred in not having a stronger guard, but the men have behaved so very well for the past six months that I deemed it necessary only to look out for the horses and mules. The next day the men were all very penitent, but they wero all tried before summary court on charges that will not bar trial on more serious ones in case any good evidence can be obtained.” To Nebraska Veterans.

Will meet and Army hall, BOowE; JOHN Q. GOss, Seeretar, Discarding Pension espe- nds, \ President, The Chicago Inter Ocean,in comment- fng upon the dropping of names from the pension roll on the charge of deser: tion, says: *Whenever numes have been wrongfully placed on the pension lists they should be dropped. There is uo disposition to question the propriety of such an action, and there never has been, but up tothis time there never has been any parade of such action as evi- dence of extraordinary merit or zeal on tho part of the pension authorities, When it comes to the question of dropping men because their names ap- pear upon the records as deserters, ov as men who were apsent without leave, there is a chance for discussion. whale ground has been covered repeut- edly, Itiswell known that in thou- sands of cases the entry, “‘absent with- out leave,” wus made in the company rolls of different regiments with no thought that these rolls were to be in | from wounds or from v The | inany of them wounded, more of them wick, and not a few of them on arduous duty at the time, were reported absent without leave or as desert- The manifest injustice of this or- der was acknowledged and at a later date action was taken to prevent injury to some of the bravest and most deserving men in the army. The governors of many states and the legisiatures took prompt action to prevent injury to the soldiers of their respective states, and the matter also cahie before congress, but these rolls are still the source of in- formation to the clerks of the Pension department, {f Commissioner Tochren drops the name of a man on the theory that he was a deserter without further investigation than that made by the clerks in his own department ho may do incaleulable in- jury to hundreds, if not thousands, of his'comrades. We believe that no old would be so short-sighted, so narrow-minded, so unjust as to fall into such an error. As to the matter of disability coming us_habits, the question is a very nice one, It is certain that thousands of men went into the service young and in robust health and came out, il not invalids, shaken in heaith and unfit for the struggle of life, The government, when it called for troops, was not over particular as to the habits of the men who did the fighting. If any man who has a record as a good soldier is now disabled it would seem that the government ought not to be overparticular as to his habits. Tt may, of course, kick him aside and into the gutter, but all the same the act will be disereditable. A Herolne of the War, French Mary, or as she is known in private life. Mary Leonard, still carry- ing the little red keg, whose contents, in'the darkest duys of the civil war, saved the lives of many wounded men, w last night entertained by the sur- viving comrades of the One Hundred and Pourteehth regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, on the ceeasion of their an- nual reunion at Micnnerchor hall, says the Philadelphia Record. The famous woman, whose whereahouts have but re- cently been discovered, was as chipper as ever, despite a rebel bullet wound_ in her ankle and some physical infirmities, which render moving about diflicult: she was warmly greetod by comrade after comrade und recognized nearly every one. She carried the old red keg, slung about her shoulders by red, white and blue ribbong, in place of the old strap, and its spigot was gone, but it was quite as much of o feature of the evening as its owner. When asiced by several if she remembered them she would answer: “Hold your face up to the light: yes, I know you now: so does the keg.” Several were also laughingly reminded of old wash Dbills, but offers to pay were promptly refused. When' the banquet was finished Mary, after repeated calls and much por- suasion, said sho was glad to meet all hands again, and hoped a year hence to have them visit her at her home near Pittsburg. At the close Mary said she would face battles again for the privilege of meeting her old friends, if such an action was necessarvy Mary was born in France in 1 followed ber husband to the wa was killed and she was wounded on the field at Fredericksburg just thirty-one years ago yesteraay. She was under fire in thirteen battles, and was known to many thousands of the soldiers. Sho kept a littlesupply of luxurics for the soldicrs, such as tobacco, hams and whisky, on the sly. She cooked for them, she washed and mended their clothes, she cared for them in hospitals, and she was often the housemaid at headguarters, Mr. Balley's Bad Bill Although officers of the army do not expect the mcasure to pass, they are “waiting and watching” for the dispos tion of the bill introduced by Mr. Bailey of Texas, which provides for the aboli- tion of all pay for retired officers of the army and navy and alsoof United States judges. When it was suggested to Mr. Bailey a few days ago that his bill would bo u waste of time of the congress and also a waste of paper and printer’s ink, says the New York Tribune, he bristled up with the reply: “You'll be surprised when the bill 'is brought up for & vote to sec how large a_majority is in favor of the measure. There is no reason in the world that officers or judges should receive retired pay when the enlisted force are not pensioned.” The Revised Statutes of the United States provide that when an officer reaches the age of 64 years, too old to be of service in active duty, or is disabled in service, he shall be retired at a grade of payfixed bylaw; the statutes also provide, Mr. Baiiey's statement to the contrary notwithstanding, that enlisted men who become disabled in the service shall be pensioned, and after serving thirty years shall be retived with 15 per cent of the pay of their grades. To abol- ish retired pay would violate the con- tract made with the officer or man, by which ho understood upon taking the oath of office 1o serve for life that the government would provide for him when he was no longer fitted to pursue his army service because of plysical disa- bility or age. But the officers have no reason to suppose that congress will vote in favor of Mr. Bailey's bill. Humor on the Field. A good story is told of Bishop (then Lieutenant General) Polk of the con- federate army and another genoral,whom we will call *“*Blank,” who now resides in Alabuma, says Blue and Gray During the Georgin campaign, and not long before General Polk was killed at Pine Mountain, he requested General Blank to accompany him to a hill in front of the lines which commanded an excellent view of the position of the op- posing federal forces. The figures of the two officers outlined upon the sky as they stood upon this eminence afforded a témpting mark for some federal gun- ners, and in a few moments both lay on the ground stunned and senseless from the effect of federal shell; The fortunes of war had brought together a most distinguishea ehurchman and cne of the bravest and most trusted of For- rest's officers. The latter, however, was not at the time noted for extreme piety, but was rather given to the use of vigor ous language and fovcible expletives, which fact the good bishop knew and regrotteds ho also knew that his present companion was one of the yery best and bravest men in the confederate service. The two officers luy stunned for gov- eral minutes. General Blank was the first to recover, Looking about him in adazed way, he soon discovered the bruly form of his companion, who was breathing heuvily, but evidently com- ing around all right. Ina few moments he heard General Polk murmur: “Oh, Lovd! where am [»where am 12" Gen- eral Blank, keealy alive to a sense of grim humor, whispered gently: ‘“In hell, general.” “Impossible,” mur- mured the semi-conscious Polk., “Who is it that tells me so?" “It is [—General Blunk,” solemnly responded that pruc- tical joker. *“Oh, Lord,” groaned the good " bishop, “have mere) Blank is here I know it must be true!” ersg Roanoke college, Virginia, which has been educating Choctaw Indians for more than twenty years, and has had a number of the nature of permanent records.

Prelimi steps in this direction have, according to the Pitts- bueg Dispatch, already been taken in procuring expert opinions on the route, 1t 18 not believed that the engineering- difficulties are at all 1nsurmountable, tho main question being a financial one, rather than otherwise. Leaving the United States at some pointon the north- western boundary of the state of Wash- ington, the proposed line would be located some distance inland from, but urallel with the Pacific coast, traver: ing northward through British Colum- bia, then leaving the Dominion, enter Alaska, eross the Yukonriver and touch Bering strait at Capo Prince of Wales, The strip of water that divides tern Asia from Alaska, and is the link that unites the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, is only thirty-six miles wide, and is in- terspersed with islands, between which are considerable expanses of intervening water,but which seldom excecds a depth 4 of ninety feet. Government soundings have been taken across the strait, and the ocean floor found to be of substantial rock. Once across the strait Siberian Russia is encountered, and, passing the coast of the Gulf of Anadir, the road would touch the Arvctic circle, deflect southwestward, crossing the Lena river, then on, continuing in a disgonal direc- tion through the Russian empire into the Orient A branch road of less than 3,000 miles may diverge from the main line, go southward beyond the domains of the czar, swing round the great desert of Obi, penetrate into the dense populs tions of China and her southern satel- lites, and thus connect with th great network of celestinl railway systems which the loud neighing of the international iron steed shall call into existence. The schome when fully matured may embrace the com- mercial control of Hindoostan, Afghan- istan and Persia, sweep the entire Le- vant and, leaving the home of the Euroelydon, would then be ready to penotrate eastern Eurone and, following the setting sun, join the rails of our kinsmen on the western side of the con- tinent. The strong point for the people of the United States in the construction of this roud is the rail connections with our Alaskan posscssions and the opening of what bids fair to prove unprecedented mineral and other wealth. Wo are also brought to the long chain of Aleutian islands that we acquired with the pur- chase of Alaska, which chain extends so far westward beyond Asia that when evening shadows lengthen on our most western land the morning rays already strike Passamaquoddy bay, gilding the headlands on the eastern coast of Maine. Some of thes islands have an area as large as Penn- sylvania, and, being tempered with favorable isothermal lines, abound with the finest grazing. The road once built the now disciplined disciples of agricul- ture from the older autonomy can retire to these islands, which are peculiarly adapted to wool-growing, where they can engage in producing this invaluable commodity and meditate on progress. To our Canadian cousins this stupen- dous project can also be presented in most glowing colors. It will give them communication with and market for vast areas of the finest timber, give them a cess to their great fur-bearing country and will supply the ax of settlement to their great northern wildernesses. On the Siberian side of the strait, in ad- dition to the immense deposits of ivory and bones, the remains of myviads of the colossal creatures of the pre-glacial world, there are the inexhaustible mines worked by the Siberian exiles, and this entire region, while cold and inhospitable, is literally a magazine of wealth, a cold storage of the measur less product of a former and more gen- erous age. o e Beware of imitations.

When prices yield, theve are few seliers; nor do bring out any important amounts In brief, holders ave not sellers at present prices, and appear to be satisfied to hold on until conditions favor higher values “'he feeling is very gencral that the depres sion of business has passed its climax, and the prevailing symptoms show that both in the industries and fn-trade the process of recovery has distinetly sot in. 'his turn of the tide is most conspicuous in the northwest and southwest. I thoso sections the mercantile interests show a distinet improvement, which expresses it- self in the markets of this city in an in- creased number of buyers, as well as in an ability to buy larger parcels, and in better collections and fewer requests for extensions of payments. Unfortunately, on arriving here these interior buyers fiud still a dis: couraged fecling, much complaint and ;| firmness in prices notwith- nding the extraordinary lowness of the stocks of goods; and under those circum- stances they deem it prudent to buy less than they really want, with consequert dis- couragement to our local merchants. A few days ago o series of concessions were made in staple cotton goods which. instead of en- couraging sales, have frightencd buyers and produced a general check on business in that branch of trade. It would seem as thouzh munufacturers and commission merchants have allowed their fears ab the effects of tariff changes to get the better of their sober judgment, with the result of their overlooking the favorable points in the situation and plactug themselves av the mercy of customers, who, under such cir- cumstances, buy much less than they really .want. And yet the fact that the iong-idle factories arc so generally resuming work implies that manufacturers are aware of the exhausted state of stocks and believe that the markets are prepared to take a fair amount of goods. As this city is the head- quarters for manufacturers as well as for aistributors, it is not surprising that the dis- pirited feeling awong the formershould find expression here more than elsewhere, and a little more experience is likely to convince producers that 1t does not pay to infect their customers witlr their own inisgivings. When that point is reached there is likely to be a marked change from the feeling and the volume of trade which exist at the moment, Recovory is Noted, “Mr. Philip D, Aemour is quoted as say- ing: ‘It is tin 0 begin to hedge on ‘‘bear” views. Trade has picked up so much in the last ten days I feel myself like hedzing on the view of the situation 1 took a fortnight ago. There have been more signs of return- ing confidence this last week than 1 have seen for a long time. The general mercan- tile trade has very much more of the old- time look to it thun I have scen for many a month,' This is importaut testimony from a competent judge of affairs in the west, and the improvement to which Mr, Armour testities cannot long fail to make 1ts impression at this center. What Mr. Armour reports for Chicago appears to apply equally to the southwest. A recent dispatch from St. Louis to a local commercial Journal (Dun’'s Review) states: ‘In the general business here " there is absolutely nothing left of the business depression. The grain trade has suffered from cut rutes to the east, which took grain of all kinds around the city on through bills of lading. Yet elevator receipts ‘have been very fair, Jobbers and manufacturers, particularly in shoe and grocery lines, report good orders and unusually free remittances, The cor- respondence of traveling men is generally very confident and hopeful, particularly in dry goods.’ It is thus very clear thatour local pessimists have over-colored their bilious pictures of the situation, and they are likely to have to do some recanting of their prophesying aguinst theirown interest, In the meantime, however, the west will be shrewd enough to take New York at its word and profit by its underestimate of the situation.

At a tlest made recently the success of the method was demonstrated. Not only was the aluminum joined together, but, subjected to a severe strain, the welded joint proved of greater strength than the pure metal, For lackof a more suitablo word the welding preparation is called solder, though, prop- eriy speuking, it is not an alloy or solder, but a substance that, when combined with tin solder and heated to a degree sufficient to welt ordinary solder, unites with the lat- ter, producing a perfect fusion of the two metals. ‘The use of aluminum has been re- strained by the absence of some such method as discovered by the Cincinnatian, The {.rm' s8 of welding it after @ fashion has Jeen known, but it was unsatisfactory owing to the weakness at the joint, which minim- ized the strength of the metal.

According to the annual report of the Textile World for 1803, just issued, there were 172 uew textile mills constructed dur- g the year. The new constructions in- clude mainly cotton, woolen, knitting and silk mills; together with a small pumover of dye works, shoddy wills and other miscella- neous establishments connected with the textile industries. The new establishments are caleulated to furnish employment to 18,- 160 hands. The groatest increase is shown 1 the cotton industry; 52 new cotton mills have been built,with 807,104 spindle capacity 12,721 looms, andfurmishing employment for 7,08 hands. Important additions to older cotton mills swell the wcreased spindle o pucity for the year to 501,970 spindles, offe ing employment to 9,55 additional hand The spindle growth has been very evenly di- vided between the northern and southern states. ‘The distinctively southern states show a gain of 246,672 spindles, more than haif of which must be credited to North and South Caroting.

OMANA LIVE STOCK MARKETS, Weck Just Closed One of the Dullest Ever Knowu for Cattle, SATURDAY, Jan, 27, The stormy weathet during the carly part of the week and the bad markets during the latter part of the week resulted in very light receipts, both cattle and hog supplies showing a marked failing off as compared with a week ago and a year ago. The fig- ures are as follows: Sheep. 6,608 s 1041 631 5104 DIRG3S 26,085 4,100 Receipts for the past four weeks, as com- pared with the corvesponding period last year, show a decrease in cattle of about 20,- 000 head and hogs decrease about 13,000 head. Iu sheep there has been a slight in- crease, something tike 4,000 head. There have been worse weexs in the cat- tle market than this, but very few of them, and about the only cause for itis the very limited consumptive demand. People arc hard up, or think they are, and lots of folks who vusually considered meat a neces- sity Upou it this year as a lux- ury. Heceipts have fallen off nearly 350 per cent as compared with last ye while the demand has fallen off, if butchers are to be believed, fully 50 percent. There may be a better time coming, but buyers are nov banking on it to any great extent. At any rate it was a dull, weak market from start to fimish, and with prices declining every day the week's decline amounted to 25¢ to 40¢ on ull grades. Dull and Unevenly Lower. The market today was simply what it hus been all week. Receipts were light and the demand was of the aume in- different character.
