TALK WITH THE INDIANS.
FATHER JOL2 MAKES A TRIP TO
THEIR CAMP.
The Venerated Priest Probably tbe
Only White Man Who Could Have
Succeeded in the ■ uGertakingr—Lack
of Food the Explanation Given by
the Indians for the Outbreak—A
Promise to Meet Gen. Brooke at the
Priest’s House.
Omaha, Neb., Doc. 6,— The Bee has re
ceived the following from its special corre
spondent:
Pke Ridge Agency, S. D., via Rash
ville, Neb., Dec. 6. —As perilous a mission
as a man of God h is undertaken for many a
day towf-nl averting bloodshed and lo?a of
human life was completed to-day when the
good Fatter Jule, a Catholic pr:est, whom
Gen. Brooke requested to go out and talk
with the hostile Indians, returned to the
agency. It seemed sheer mauness for a
whits to as much as think of attempting such
a mission and hope to return alive. But
Father Julo, having spent eeveu years
among the Indians, four of the S'ven on the
agency, and h ivmg been looked up to and
greatly confided in by the redskins, he and
the officials considered that it would be more
nearly possible for him to make the final ef
fort at a peaceable adjustment of the pres
ent trouble than any one else. The reverend
father was accornpaniei bv Jack Red
Cioud, a widely respected son of the famous
chief, wee went more as a guide than upon
the supposition that he wou*d be of any use
in making the mission a success.
THU STABT.
The start fwas made Wednesday noon.
They went to White Clay creek, a very un
usual route, and ns u result g t lost after
crossing White river. Ail of Thursday
night they waudere t about, beiiig com
pelled to keep moving about in ouler to
avoid freezing. Huger was added to their
discomfort, since th v had not taken a
morsel of food with them. Ten miles from
the hostile camp they were met by pickets,
who leveled their guns on them and held
them unt 1 an Indian runner could be
sent into the camp and inquire whether or
not they were to be admitted. A favorable
reply wa received a.id they proceeded on,
but/under the muzzle of \\ inch esters. The
camp wos reached at 11 o’c. ck the next
morning. Two hours later the chiefs met
Father Jule in council. There were pres
ent Two strike, tbe hsad chief; Turning
Bear. Short Bully, High Ha-vk, Crow Dog,
Kicking Bear, Bugle Pipe, Big Turkey ami
High Pipe. The pipe of poace was conspic
uous by its absence.
CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
Father Jule opened the council by ask
ing the chiefs to state the particular cause
of grievance that had led them to assume so
startling an altitude of war. The replies
were su stantially as follows: “We object
to the recent census returns made by Lee.
His enumeration, as he is now making it,
would not give food sufficient for us to live
on. Lee puts us down as many less for
each teepee than it contains. We are to
receive food acco ding to that enumera
tion. We shall starve. We know we shall
starve. If the Great Father chooses to cheat
us we will have ene big eat before starving
times come. After that we shall fight our
last tight, aud the white man shall see more
blood for bad use from our guns than ever
before. Then we will go to the last hunting
grounds happy. If tha white man did not
mean to cheat us out of food, the Great
Father never would have sent the soldiers.
There is no need of soldiers if the Great
Fathe- intonded 1 1 bo fair with us. We
know he intends cheating us by the way
the census man is putting down figures
that lie, and by which we were to be fed.
THE AGEXCY LINE.
“The Groat Father has done another
wrong. Be put r. new boundary line be
tween the Rosebud anl Pine Ridge agency,
that makes many of us leave our homes
ami gi vo tl.em to others. The Great Father
broke the'old treaty when he did this. We
can to longer believe the
Great Father. He says, Children
you shall never be moved
again unless you waut to go, and then he
Roos right away and moves us. We are
done with pr mises, and now we make a
promise that we will fight, and the Great
Father will find that we will not break our
promise. We will now be very plain with
you, Christian father, aud tell you another
thing, something of which you mav have
already thought. It is this: We are not
coming in now and will not lay down our
rifles, because we are afraid of the conse
quence. We have done wrong; we know
it. If we stop now we will
be punished. The Great Father will send
many of us to the big iron house, to stay
many months. We would die. Now we’ll
not go and give up. Wo know the Great
Father better than he knows us or cares to
know us.”
After a long pause Crow Dog said that
they might come in if the soldiers were
taken away.
FATHER JCLE’S TALK.
Father Jule says he thed urged them,
with much fervor, to be peaceable, give up
their designs of war and behave. He ex
plained that the soldiers were not to harm,
but to protect, the .guncy; that the rations
had been increased at the agency, aud if
they came in Gen. Brooke would be trans
ferred to Washington and get permission
for them to stay upon the agency.
Bo far 83 depredations were concerned.
Father Jule told them that they had better
stop committing them, and they would be
more easily forgiven. Finally, ne urged the
cbkds to com- back with him. To this some
of the older ones made a favorable answer,
but the young ones, who were heavily in
the majority, said no.
PROMISED TO GO TO HIS HOUSE.
The red men, however, agreed that they
would come back to Father Jule’s house,
which is about four miles northwest of tbe
agency, this morning, and there meet Gen.
Brooke and tell bun in person just what
they bad told Father Jule. This
brought on a renewal of the bitter opposi
tion from the majority, which nearly euded
in a row. Finally the young chiefs cooled
off, and Two Strike, addressing Father
Jule, said: “Hold your hands up to the
Great Chief, and tell us as though you were
ab .ut to start on a journey to the last hunt
ing grounds of the red man, whether what
you nay to us from Gen. Brooke be true, and
that we will not be harmed if we come in
simply to talk to Geu. Brooke.”
THE OATH OF THE RED MEN.
Father Jule says he complied with the re
quest. The chiefs the i extended their hands
to him, and with great solemnity promised
that they would come. This ended tho
council, and Father Jule and young Red
Cloud withdrew, the former telling the
chiefs that if they broke their word he
would never again believe an Indian. If
the chiefs I-cap their pledge the pieetlng
1 si.weoa them and Gen. Brooke
Hill occur’ at Father Jule’s residence this
forenoon. While in the hostile camp
Father Ju'e saw that there were between
1,000 aud 1,200 Indians, all fully urmed,
and he suppos 8 from tho size of the camp
and the great numbers of pickets that the
hostile® number 2,000 fighting meu.
THE CATTLE SUPPLY.
He saw- large numbers of cattle being
driven ii from all directions and slaugh
tered all about the camp, aud meat was
being cured in camp. He says the camp is
remarkably well for, ified with rifle Pits,
considering that Indians did the work. The
camp i> wholly iuacoa>tiuie, he says, by
military otherwise than on foot
and iu single tile, and as for
using cannon aud such pieces as Gatling
guns, such a thing is out of the question.
“God alone knows,” continued. tho priest,
"of tho re-ul s awaiting the effort to con
quer thus* hostile people if they continue
hi their present stronghold."

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
How Some People Manage to Get
Money for Them.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Dec. 6.—The subject
of Christ!uei pre?en is has been forcibly pre
sented to my mind. The force consists in
the pathos and the foolishness of some of
the ccmmunioations received, ana many of
the questions e-k“(l As near as I can
judge, the p. rase ’’can’t afford it," holds
good a* a reason for not getting into debt or
trouble ia almost every case ex
cepting in the buying of Christmas and
wedding presents. Ia such instances, there
seetns to be a general convic ion that gifts
must be made, money or no money. When
my friends tell me that they have always
been able to purchase expensive Christmas
preseuts untii this year, hot now they can
not doit, >e: they must, or be misunder
stood or, p-rhape, thought very mean, there
is an obvious i.,cons.steney in the state
ment, which Is as provoking as it is puzzling.
They literally cannot, and yet they must,
and what shall they buy >
Truly, i am not wise enough for such an
emergency. I can oily say that if they
cannot really a ford to moke Christinas
presents, they have no b .su.ess to do so.
Ti p o is considerable selfishness iu the
world, and most of U3 like nice things, and
are not averse to being handsomely remem
bered at Christmas time, but I can say with
truth that while I ca i point to here and
there a mercenary soul, I do not know of
one man or woman who would really enjoy
a gift from a friend who could not.
afford to make it. Such a present would
throw me into a porpe ual nightmare, or
night and day mare. I should have a spasm
every time I looked at it, and I am sure
that all my raadsrs wou.d feel the same.
Last year a lady who had suffered so much
from various calamities, among them the
loss of a handsome fortune, that only by the
most wonderful exercise of will had she kept
from confirmed invalidism, found herseif
with $5 itistea 1 of SSOO, or more, that, she
could spare for Christmas presents. She
had been such a judicious and inspirational
giver that it was a nard trial inde id to be
so completely shut oil from this work of
love. After thinking, and praying too, I
imagine, she spent her little substance in
note paper, envelopes, postage stamps and
dainty, appropriate cards. To some of her
intimates sbe wrote letters, and es
pecially was she mindful of those
in grief or trouble of any kind.
To some she sent poems copied
by her own hand, and in this way, by her
own admission, accomplished a better work
than she had previously been able to per
form w it:, ad l.er money. ‘‘l was never so
surprised and gratified," she toid me, “as
when the acknowledgments of these re
membrances, which had seemed to me so
cheap and so worthless, began to pour in
upon me. All the Cnristmases of my life
put together could bear no comparison in
results to this poverty-stricken, and to my
rniud, almost despicable holiday. It taught
me a lesson which I shall never forget,”
All the Christ is taken out of our Christ
mas by our struggle to do the things we
have no right to try to do.
“My husband gave me this money for a
bairel of flour and a couple of tons of coal,"
an acquaintance told me as a good
joke the other day, “but I shall
buy a bag of flour instead, and
one ton of coal, and add the remainder
to mv Christmas fund. He will never know
the difference.”
I could not help the ill-natured retort that
I did not envy the recipients of her gifts.
"Oh, they will never know,” sbe re
sponded, brightly. “Why, if you didn’t
manage these men you couldn’t get any
thing out of them to save your life. The
way I’ve scraped this fall is a wonder, and
the way that poor old scape goat. Mc-
Kinley, has helped me is a caution. Every
thing that you wear now is so much
higher than it used to be, you know.”
What a Christmas spirit is this! I wish
it were an isolated case.
The publications of Prang & Cos. are more
beautiful than ever this year and many of
them are very inexpensive. Their cards
and small books make charming presents,
because they are artistic and always appro
priate. I had several of their works trained
last year, and the picture of the babies just
trying to walk hangs over mv studv desk
and has been, and will continue to’ be, a
constant inspiration. These babies have
grown a little older and this year are play
ing school. The pose and expression of the
boy at the extreme right is truly perfect,
and of course it is the photograph of some
body’s wide awake aud handsome darling.
Books are usually safe and welcome pres
ents. Many of my friends are now getting
together all the paper-covered novels of the
year for distribution in our jails and hos
pitals. This good work does not require
the expenditure of much money, and those
who have seen tbe delight which these gifts
afford can form very little idea of their
usefulness. Think of a burglar up for ten
years, weeping genuine tears over Holmes’
“Guardian Angel.” Ah, my dear lords aud
gentlemen, even burglars are amenable to
the processes of evolution.
There is no more profitable Christmas
present especially for young folks than a
good dictionary.
My readers may not all ba aware that the
title of Webster’s American Dictionary has
been lately changed to tbe International
Dictionary of tho English Language. For
forty years the publication of this book has
been carried on and has bean kept abreast
of the many and mighty changes which have
marked the rapid growth of the English
tongue. In view of the fact that Euglish is
becoming the speech of the civilized world,
the propriety of tho word international be
comes apparent. An immense amount of
financial and intellectual wealth is repre
sented in the present noble volume. The
best scholars of the country have con
tributed to it. The subject of pronun
ciation has boen successfully and thoroughly
treated by experts in the matter. Two
thirds of the illustrations are wholly new.
ami of course there has been a large in
crease in the reading matter, but the pages
are larger and the bulk of the volume not
greatly extended. The work embodies
special efforts, wuich have been carried on
with reference to its publication for the
past ten years, and it certaiuly is the best in
every sense of the word, as it is universally
acknowledged to be by our most eminent
critics. Eleanor Kirk.
HER MUSCLES BROKE HER LEG,
Astonishing Involuntary Contraction
Which Befell Mrs. Brant.
■FVoiu the Philadelphia Record.
Lexington, Ky., Dec. 2.—While sitting
talking with her children at her home in
Haris Ky., about noou to-day, Mrs. J.
Harry Brent felt the flexor muscles of her
right leg suddenly and violently contract,
and as she screamed with pain the bone of
the thigh broke just below the hip j unt. A
physician was summoned, but before ho
could do anything to relieve his patient her
left leg broke in the same manner. Her
suffering is intense, aud uer death is hourly
expected. She is about -40 years old, tho
wife of a wealthy aud prominent judge,
and moves in the highest society.
Physicians here say tho case is unprec
edented; that while bones have been broken
by muscular contraction, there has always
been some well defined cause, while Mrs.
Hrent has been apparently well. It is
thought by her physician that she is a
victim of muscular rheumatism.

POOL OF THE INSURERS
THE SENATE PASSES THE BILL TO
BREAK IT CP.
Quick Work Necessary to Prevent Its
Passage by the House—The Senate
Apt to fplit Over the Twitty Bill.
The Opposition to the Tariff Law.
Military Matters Before the House.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6. —So far as the
1 Senate is concerned the insurance pool
question is settled. That body is over
whelmingly in favor of breaking up tee
po.it, and to the extent of its power has
opened the way for competition in rates by
passing the Terrill bill. In support cf hi.
measure Mr. Terrill quote 1 figures from the
controller general’s rep rt showing that
there are forty-seven foreign insurance
companies doing business iu Georgia which
had reaiizod frum their patrons
in this state alone during the
last fiscal year $861,001. These companies,
he said, carried on business all over tbe
continent, and some of them in Europe,
yet the sums wrung from the citizens of
this one state constitut ;d nearly a seventh
of their entire net earnings. This showed
how the people ofJGeorgia were being im
pos'd on. His bill oroposed to break up the
pool, and put each company before tho
public on its merits.
BUT LITTLE opposition.
There was little or no opposition to the
bill’s passage. This action of the Senate
will not unlikely decide the House in taking
a similar step. The latter body, though
inclined to hear from the other side, is at
presea’ strong in its anti-p oi sentiment,
and unless some effective lobbying is done
quickly there is little doubt but that Mr.
Whitfield’s or Mr. Terrill’s bill, which nre
one and the same, will b3 put through. A
strong pull will be male to prevent this
ilon lay, whou the House finance commit
tee is to accord a ho tring to the repre
sentatives of the southeastern tariff associa
tion, and others who are to appear in the
interest of the pool.
DOWN ON THE M’KINLEY LAW.
A resolution offered by Mr. Cabaniss
calling on the Georeia delegation iu
congress to use its best efforts to obtain the
repoai a modification of the tariff law arid
tho t assage of some measure for an increase
in the currency was adopted unanimously.
THE TWITTY BILL.
The Twitty bill promiEe3 to split the
Sonata when the vote is taken very near
the middle The frequent protests from
the commercial boards of the various cities
have nit bad the effect of killing the ad
miration entertained for the measure in the
farmer legislature, and to-day a big mi
nority of tbe upper house tried bard to rush
it through. On a motion to recommit tho
vote stood 16 to 13.
THE DEAF AND DUMB ASYLUM.
The committee appointed to visit the
deaf and dumb asylum recommended that
$6,000 be appropriated for repairs press
ingly needed. Tho committee thought the
iDmatea were well cared for and the finan
cial accouuts properly kept.
The finance committee reported favor
ably the supplemental contingent
fund appropriation, and the amended
House resolution to pay the
examiners who made an inventory of the
property of the state road under the lease
act $750 for their services met with no op
position when placed upon its passage.
THE TECNOLOGICAL SCHOOL.
The House bill to appropriate §1,300. or
bo much of that sum as may be necessary,
to meet the expenses incurred by the
trustees and teachers of the state techno
logical school in keeping the institution
open in 18S9-’9O, during six months for
which no appropriation had previously
been made, also managed to scrape through,
though the “technological” is no favorite
with an assembly half mad on the common
school question.
The appoinmtent of J. C. Matthews
as county judge of Sumter and
of S. J. Jones and T. N, Hopkins
as solicitors, respectively, of the
Dougherty and Thomas county courts, was
confirmed. The governor has also ap
pointed John W. Bennett solicitor of the
county court of Wayne, but his confirma
tion seeni3 to have been delayed.
In the House:
This morning’s sess'on of the House was
almost entirely barren of interest except for
the introduction by Mr. Gilbert of a reso
lution authorizing the military advisory
board to receive bids for a per
manent location for the annual en
campment of the Georgia volunteers,
and to locate their camp in whatever part
of the state tho members may believe most
desirable. This is the resolution formulated
by the advisory board yesterday, and a
strong effort will be mada to secure its
passage.
Gov. Northen is said to have in prepara
tion a special message on military affairs,
in which he will press upon the legislature
the advisability of rendering more effectual
aid to the state troops. The governor
is in thorough sympathy with the efforts of
the advisory i.oard to increase the efficiency
of the militia, ami as his recommendations
have never failed with the assembly he
will prove a powerful ally.
ABSENTEEISM.
There were si many places vacant to-day
that it was wi h difficulty that odb lone bill
managed to obtaiu u constitutional major
ity on its passage, and the legislative atten
tion was, for the most part, confined to small
frv measures.
The direct trade convention, when it
assembles in Atlanta the second Wednesday
iu January, will, under a resolution passed
by the House, bo given the use of Repre
sentative hall for its meetings.
The bill fo bidding, blacklisting of dis
charged employes has boen favorably re
ported. Under the proposed act the master
may furnish in writing a true reason for an
employe’s discharge.
Monday has been agreed on as the date
for considering the general tax bill, and
Wednosday the appropriation act will be
taken up.

BATTLING WITH AN OCTOPUS.
Boya Kill a Monster With f?even-foot
Tentacles.
From the Seattle Fret*.
Three young men aged, about 18 years had
an exciting encounter with an octopus, or
devil fish, under the old wharf be
longing to tho Myers Canning Com
pany at West Seattle, about 3
o’clock yesterday afternoon. It re
sulted in the frightful creature being killed
after a fearful struggle. It was necessary to
sever completely every one of the horrible
creature’s tentacles from its body before it
gave up the struggle. The fight was wit
nessed by quite a number of spectators.
Tr.o b >ys were fifing for tomcod from
the front of tbe wharf when they noticed
a considerable commotion iu the water un
der the wharf. 0.. eof them, Dick Smith,
took a long polo and climbed under the
wharf to find out, if nossible, the cause of
the disturbance. Ho had not gone far
when in the semi-gloom he discovered
a strange shape, aud saw a pair of
small eyes glaring at him. In his fright he
[joked at the animal with the pole, but to
his horror aud amazement it was wrenched
from his hand as easily as though it bad
beeu straw.
Young Smith gave a frightened yell and
climbed to the top of the wha: fto give the
alarm. Several boys, arm ng themselves
with poles and spadws, climbed down under
tbe wharf to investigate this marine mon
ster and, if po si: le, capture it.
After the eyes of tho boys had become
accustomed to the gloom, they beheld, to
their wonder and surprise, that the crea
ture with which th *y Lad to deal was a
huge devil fisb, lashing the water into foam
with it3 merciless arms, which were sprtad
out for a distance of about seven feet iu
e very direction.
The boys attacked tho creature with poles
and spades. One boy made a strike at the
animal, outt ng it slightly with a spade.
The infuriated creature seized the spade in
its grasp and threw it far out among the
piles.
Tho fight continued for some time, the
animal seizing everything that was thrust
at him. Several times one of the boys nar
rowly missed being caught aDd drawn be
neath the surface by the monster of the
deep.
At length, by a united pull at several
poles, which tbe octopus bad seized in his
blind rage, he wa* drawn from the water,
but even then he kept up the fight with un
abated fury, stri i:g viciously at every
thing within reach.
One after another tho tentacles were sev
ered from the frightfully misshapen body.
Even after the la-t arm had been severed
the animal did nut give up the fight, how
ever, and when anyone approached it
glared at them, and caused its body to
quiver in a ma ner that induced a thrill of
fear to run over the beholder, even with a
knowledge that it was harmless.
The devil fish was finally dispatched with
a spade. The arms were oarried away by
the several boys who had severed them as
trophies of the fight, gbut the body re
mained on the ground, and was viewed by
many people during the remainder of the
afternoon.

We bought this stock by chance, at an Assignee Sale, in New York, for less than 50
per cent, on the dollar.
We had an empty store to put same in, right under our OWN eye.
We are selling these goods in the same proportion that we bought them at
We are giving our friends and the public generally an opportunity to clothe them
selves at 50 per cent, less than they could otherwise.
/
We are selling them, too, you bet! Of course we are selling them, and onr
competitors know it. Onr competitors feel it; that is why they object to it.
We cannot blame them much, but they ought not to ADVERTISE US SO
THE FIRM OF
APPEL & SCHAUL
have been in this community a long time, and the people of Savannah know that
when they advertise anything
YOU CAN DEPEND ON WHAT THEY SAY
The people also have been WARNED by our competitors before of this
Bankrupt Sale. Just as if they were a lot of little children. But we are glad
to say that our community know a good thing when they see it, and they know
when to catch on!
To those of our friends who have not attended this Special Sale of ours as
yet, we beg or you to call and examine our prices, to convince yourself. You
need not make a purchase. We charge nothing for looking.
