Indians on the Fort Hall Reservation
Dancing and May Hake Tronble.
. Boisk City, Jan. 7. Advices from
Pocatello that the Indians on Fort Hall
reserve hare been dancing and 200 in
war paint have taken to the mountains
' with arms is causing excitement here.
, .Governor-Willey has been asked to
, . order the governor's guards to Pocatello,
and probably a company of United
State? cavalry at Boise barracks will be
sent there. The Indians on the reserve
number 1200 or 1500, more than half of
them treacherous and warlike Bannocks,
who caused a prolonged war twelve
years ago. People at Pocatello have
almost no arms, and the towns of Black-
r . foot and Eagle Rock are on the border of
the reserve. , The Indians who took to
the mountains are working eastward
toward Wyoming.
Lemhi county legislators express the
. belief that if the Indians at Pocatello go
on the warpath they will be joined by
- tribes on the Lemhi reservation, who
number about 500, embracing 125 able
Iwdied bucks.

IjOx'dox, Jan. 7. A telegram gives
the basis of settlement agreed upon by

to resign the chairmanship, and a meet
ing of all members of the Irish parlia

Dillon has cabled his approval of the

MOVING UP CLOSER.
The St. James Gazette Thinks Booth
Should Not Hare Control of Funds.
London, Jan. 8. The St. Jamet Gazette,
which is publishing the results of an in
quiry into the history and methods of
the Salvation Army, with a view to dis
couraging public subscriptions to the
"Darkest England" fund has unearthed
two deeds dated in 1878, which give Gen
eral Booth complete control of the organ
ization and make it practically his private
property. They endow Booth with auto
cratic power over the order and all
its branches, and give him authority to
appoint his own successor ; also to give
away, lease or sell any or all of the army
property without accounting to anyone.
The Gazette points out the danger of en
trusting large sums to any man, however
honest in his views, who is a lunatic,
with absolute oower to disoose of monev
without regard to judgment of donors.

Kcshyiixe, Ieb., Jan. 10, 10 :30 p. M.
A general battle is looked for to-morrow.
Circumstances are forcing conclusions
to the hostiles, and parleying is not to
be longer continued by either side.
The Indians said yesterday thnt Gen
eral Miles was prepared to fight or get
off the reservation.
General Miles, it is said, has given the
Indians until to-night to surrender, and
if they do not come in by that time he
will close on them.
The Same Old Chestnut.
All last night signal lights were flash

HOW THEY ARE FIXED.
The Gigantic Harvester . Combination
Finds They Cannot Organize.
Chicago, Jan. 9. Some tune since
preparatory steps were taken by the
leading manufacturers of agricultural
implements looking towards the forma
tion of a gigantic combine to be known
as "The American Harvester Co." To
day President McCormick furnishes the
following statement to the associated
press. "The American Harvester Uo.,
has been brought face to face with grave
legal obstacles to the consummation of
the enterprise for which it was formed.
These are of such a character that the
whole undertaking must be abandoned,
The' Nebraska Legislature Trouble.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 9. This morning
the session of the legislature was wrang
ling over the minutes of the convention
which were badly mixed on account of
the confusion. This work was unfin
ished at noon.
All the newly elected state officers are
in possession of the offices except Gov
ernor Boyd who is kept out by Gov.
Thayer on the ground that he is inelig
ible.
The Cendltlon of the Hostiles at P
Ridge.
ashington, Jan. 8. The situation
as summed up at the interior depart
ment to-day is about as follows : There
are in all about 20,000 Sioux Indians,
men, women and children on the north
ern reservation. Of this number 16,500
are accounted for, as they are living on
reservations in peace and not taking
any part in the present disturbances.
This leaves about 3500 men, women and
children to face" 8000 men now under
commander of General Miles. The hos
tile camp is located seventeen miles
north of the agency and a cordon of
troops surround it, with the exception
of the south side, the object being to
drive them into the reservation. There
is constant communication between the
hostile camp and the agency. The hos
tiles are well supplied with beef, but
they have no sugar or coffee, except as
they are supplied by friendlies. While
the situation is regarded as hopeless for
the Indians, yet it is believed they have
no intention of surrendering. It is pre
dicted by some who are on . the ground
that there will be a battle on Sunday or
Monday. When the hopelessness of fight
ing against' such odds is pointed out.
The onlv explanation given is, "the
Indians are crazy." From reports re
ceived at the interior department, the
situation is believed to be intense and
people at the agencies are very much
disturbed.
GOVERNOR BOYD STILL SITS.
the
Drawing Nearer the Indians and Getting
Ready to Fight. . . '
Pink Kidge, S. D., Jan. fl. Yester
day afternoon all the commands in the
field were ordered to march from three
to five miles nearer the hostiles. Late
last night the order was put into effect.
At intervals of two or three days the
cordon will be drawn more tightly
around the hostiles until they agree to
either come in peaceably or be whipped
into submission. - "
The disposition they display is to ac
cept overtures of General Miles is sus
ceptible of bat one interpretation and
that is that they propose to surrender
and retain their arms or die in their
defense. . This backs up the fact that a
majority of those who have come in are
hostiles' squaws and children who de
sire to get out of the - way, The coming
in of Red Cloud is variously interpreted
His good faith is doubted.
THE INDIAN SITUATION.
a P renamed; to be Unchanged bnt the Crisis
-. at Hand. -
Washington, Jan- 9. There were no
telegrams from Gen Miles at the war De
partment this morning and the idea pre
vailed that the situation was unchanged
at Pine Ridge. The opinion is spread
. ing that the crisis of the campaign so
often predicted and so long deferred is
nearly at hand. Secretary Proctor is
.'constantly in receipt of requisitions from
1 r various sources, mostly from, governors
of states adjacent to the scene of trouble,
' asking for arms with which to supply
- the local troops raised for defense. The
requests have not been complied with.
The Railroad ' Conference.
ew loBK, Jan. 9. Ihe sub com
mittee of the advisory board of western
Railroads met this morning to complete
the by laws begun by them yesterday.

have the distribution of freight left to
them and to this there was decided
objection.
San Diego Forger Arrested.
San Diego, Jan. V- B. rhillips was

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 10. The guberna

Governor Boyd is recognized by all the
state officers, while Governor Thayer
still insists that be is at the head of the
state government.
It is evident Governor Boyd's warrants
wiy be honored by auditor and treasurer,

. . . St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 9. A special from
Guthrie, I. T., says: Much excitement
prevails here in regard to the present
Indian outlook. A grave apprehension
is felt and trouble is expected . soon, as
. soon as the disarming of the Indians
begins. . The Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians came into King Fisher and
purchased every cartridge that could be
bad. The aspect is serious. Judge Lea,
of the supreme bench, said to-day that
inland towns should at once organize in
companies to aid if necessary the settlers

Full Proceedings of the Disgraceful Row
In the Nebraska Legislature.
Lincoln. Neb.. Jan. 8. The Alliance
members took possession of the house at
5 o'clock this morning. They placed
their speaker in the chair and put a cor
don of assistant sergeant-at-arms around
him. When Lieutenant-Governor Mick
eljohn appeared he wasn't allowed to
take his seat, but stood in front of the
speaker ready to call the joint session to
order. At 9 o'clock the speaker issued
an order for the arrest of the lieutenant
governor on a charge of misconduct in
office and breach of the peace. The
lieutenant governor defied the officer
and .was not taken into custody.
Both sides had a force of Sergeants-at-arms
within call and any attempt
of either side to proceed with a
canvass of the vote ' would have
precipitated a row. To avoid this
a committee frem each party was sent
with a statement of the case to the
supreme court to ascertain which officer
had the constitutional right to preside.
Governor Thayer ordered out a com
pany of the national guards; at 11
o'clock they stacked arms in the corrid
ors of the capitol. Crowds arrived on
every train to attend, the inauguration
of Governor-elect Boyd, and consider
able impatience was shown over the de
lay in counting the vote.
At 12 :15 p. m. the supreme court issued
a writ of mandamus directing the
speaker of the house to canvass the re
turns.
Sheriff sMcLeary served the writ on the
speaker only after a pitched battle. He
was guarded by a squad of police and
Captain Carder's clothes were torn off,
but, after smashing hats and heads with
their clubs, they secured entrance and
the writ was served. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Micklejohn then declared the ses
sion adjourned, and the Republicans and
Democrats filed out of the house. Elder
then called the Alliance members to
order and directed the roll td be called.
When the Democrats and Republicans
attempted to leave the floor, the Alli
ance sergeant-at-arms closed the door and
attempted to keep them in. He received
a punch in the eye and a bloody nose as
the result, and the doors were speedily
opened. Free fights occurred every few
moments. Nat Brown, of Omaha, had
an altercation at the door of the house
with an Alliance man, resulting in the
Alliance man being sent to the hospital
for repairs. Elder called eighteen
senators and fifty-five represenatives
of the alliance to order in the joint ses
sion, hut Attornev-GeneralLeese advised
submission to the order of the court
Nevertheless, Elder was declared presid
ing officer of the joint session, and the
Alliance men started to work.
Mr. Micklejohn went out in the corri
dor at 2 o'clock and the doorkeeper re
fused to readmit him. Governor Thaver
then ordered the militia to eBcort Mickle
john back if necessary. Micklejohn
finally gained the mastery, entered the
chamber and presided. He appointed a
secretary, and the returns were read
and the epeaker said they were all right.
not having been tampered with. The
doors were then opened and the crowd
let if. The militia cleared the state-
house grounds several times, but the
people crowded by them every time
they could, and a howling mob sur
rounded the capitol. When the militia
was called out the crowd hooted and
yelled at them in such a manner that
the soldiers became frightened, and it
was only when a squad of forty police
men arrived that any kind of order pre
vailed. At 1 :30 the Alliance men began
coming out to dinner. They were re
cieved with howls of derision, hisses
catcalls, and other uncomplimentary
things. Governor Boyd, was sworn in
as governor at noon by Chief Justice
Maxwell, of the supreme court. This
morning he took the oath of office
before a notary public, as did also all the
republican officers elected.
Governor-elect Boyd, called on Gov.
Thayer and the latter informed him he
(Thayer) would not give up the office on
the ground that Boyd was not a citizen
of the United States. Governor Thayer
has barricaded himself in executive of
fice with police and a company of jmilita
on guard. It is understood he will re
main governor if possible, until all ques
tions affecting his successor are settled.
Boyd's father, it will be remembered,

Boyd was a minor. He took out his
first papers, but never perfected citizen

A USTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
A system of voting by which the voter
is protected from outside influence,
where he can alone prepare his ballot,
and cast it without fear, is a necessity
of the times. The Australian system
accomplishes this and should therefore
be adopted in every state in the Union.
Under its protection the employe can
cast his vote without fear of his em
ployer, and can thus express his politi
cal belief without fear of losing his job,
The honest man is protected in casting
an honest vote. The dishonest one who
is willing to sell his vote is thrown out of
business, for his purchaser has no means
of telling how he has voted and natur
ally refuses to put up for goods, when he
has no means of finding out if they are
delivered. Under this Australian sys
tem, every man can vote once, and vote
as he wants to, and this is all that any
law can provide for. Its adoption will
shut out the ward striker, who cuts such
a large figure in elections ; will prevent
bribing, fraud, intimidation, and 'will
result in an honest vote honestly
counted.' This is all that is required,
and when it is accomplished it matters
not either whom it aids or which party
it hurts. It is fair to all parties and
should therefore ' be objectionable to
none.

LEGISLATIVE PROBABILITIES.
An OregoniaH correspondent at Salem
gives the following forecast of the legis
lative organization :
"The contest for speaker 6f the house
has merged into a triangular fight, with
Representative J. M. McCall, of Jackson
county, an aspirant for the honor. Rep
resentative Geer, of Marion, is making a
lively canvass and feels assured of win
ning, although Story of Multnomah, has
iionsiderable more than hjs home delega
tion at his back and is looked upon as
leading in the. race. But if Simon is
chosen president of the senate, Mr.
Story's chances for speaker are ntZ."
"Among the many aspirants for minor
offices the following are the most promi
nent," , .
. "Secretary of the senate, O. P. Miller
and F. C. Middleton ; sergeant-at-arms of
the senate, M. Pomeroy ; reading clerk,
J. B. Eddy ; doorkeeper of the senate,
J. McCormack and Herbert Hatch.
"In the house, C. B. Watson, of Jack
son county, R. R. Hays, of Tilliamook,
and Glen Holman of Multnomah, are
named for chief clerk with Hays decidedly
a favorite of the trio. ' A. W. Drager, of
Marion wants to be doorkeeper. Col.
Nevius of Wasco, will hardly have any
opposition for reading clerk of the house,
unless he should possibly be chosen
chief clerk instead. Little is yet said as
fo engrossing or .enrolling clerks for
The amount of wheat handled by the
Union Pacific railroad at this point is in
round numbers 240,000 tons per year,
and yet the railroad company Jreats us as
though The Dalles was a whistling sta
tion. In fact the whole course of treat
ment prescribed for us indicates that the
railroad would like to cinch us to death
if it could. With an average of 670 tons
of freight handled here every day, it
would seem that the 'company would
appreciate the place and try to assist in
building it up as well as holding on to it.
It is doing neither, but is treating us in
such a manner that whenever there is
any other way of having communication
with the rest of the world, the Union
Pacific will find that its treatment has
borne a legitimate result, and that its
trade will be lost. The freight rates from
Portland are enormous, and the passenger
service is little better than none. A line
of boats on the river will wake the com
pany up to the importance of this trade,
and from present appearances, this
awakening will take place early in the
spring.
There is an old saying that "Cows far
off wear long horns,;' y The truth ful
ness of the remark is exemplified every
day in common affairs. Smith and Jones
living two miles apart on the banks of
the creek will take their fish poles for a
days outing. Smith will go up to Jones'
to where the fishing is better, and Jones
will go down to Smiths' .where the fish
are more plentiful. We see another ex
emplification "of it in our schools. We
have here in our Wasco Academy one of
the best schools in the state. Its merit
is acknowledged, and pupils are sent here
from all over the state. It is too close
at home however and many of our people
send their children to other points to
school. There is another saying that
far fetched and dear bought pleases
"the ladies," and it also seems to please
parents, who while they could give their
ohildren the benefit of our own school,
which is the equal of any in the state,
prefer to send them away at considerable
more expense. There is no use kicking
about it, because people are built that
way, and the man or woman, who has
not a large sized bump of perverseness,
is of too angelic mold for earth.

General Miles Still Parleying With the
Redskins.
St. Louis, Jan. 12. A Post dispatch
special, from Pine Ridge agency reads
"General Miles determined this morning
not to parley nor confer again with the
Indians, and this morning he sent
message to the hostile's camp at Mission
stating his terms. He said they must
come to the agency in small sqnads and
go into camp on grounds near the friendly
Indians. He would not object if thev
chose their own company grounds ; but
Brules and Ogallas must not camp to
gether, and they must submit to the law
governing the reservation and to the
agent." It is learned from official sources
that this is General Miles' final action
If the Indians don't accept these terms
Miles will go after them, and there will
be a fight sure.

New York, Jan. 12. The advisory
board of the railroad conference 'ad
journed to-day, and will hold its next
regular meeting in Chicago in April.
The board adopted a resolution dividing
tne. territory of the association into five
divisions, as follows : Trans-continental,
southwestern railway and steam ships,
western passenger, western freight and
trans-Missouri. It is understood that
Midgley will retain the western freight,
Faithern the southwestern raiiroad and
steamships, Finley the western passen
ger, Vinning the trans-continental and
Smith the trans-Missouri. :
A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called
away from home for a few days ; during
his absence one of the children contracted
a severe cold and his wife bought a
Dottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
for it. They were so much pleased
with the remedy that they afterwards
used several bottles at various times,
He said, from his experience with it.
he regarded it as the most reliable pre
paration in use for colds and that it
came the nearest being a specific of any
medicine he had ever seen. For sale by
Snipes & Kinersly.

For a cut, bruise, burn or sca-ld, there
is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. It heals the parts more quickly
than any other application, and unless
the injury is very severe, no scar is left.

: Rev. O. D. Taylor will leave Monday
for Portland and will shortly after that
make a trip to the east. He has been
appointed representative of the board of
trade of this city, and will no doubt be
able to set the advantages of The Dalles
before eastern people in such a manner
as tQ be of great benefit to us. Mr. Tay
lor has been pastor of the First Baptist
church of this city for nine years,
preaching his first sermon on Christ
mas day nine years ago. He is a care
ful but ' energetic business man, is
thoroughly posted on Oregon affairs,
and is endorsed by the board of trade.
He carries letters from some of our most
reliable business men, and we predict
will make the - possibilities of this
country visible to all with whom he
comes in contact. In Oregon he has an
inexhaustable subject? one which can
not be overdrawn, and one in which he
takes especial pride. He will remain
away about a month. .
For a lame back, a pain in the side or
chest, or for tooth-ache or ear-ache
prompt relief may be had by using Cham
berlam's Pain Balm. It is reliable.
