®i)e UismatckSributte. Bismarck, D. T., Dec. 10,1877. Change of Publication Day. The Tribuxe -will be i- sued hereafu (skipping to-morrow) on Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday in order to meet the mails. Frank Rande, the Western Ruffian who was arrested in a pawnbroker's shop in St. Louis a few days ago after having fatally wounded one police officer, slight ly wounded another and received a bullet in his own breast, seems to be a very re markable character. His murderous ca reer has been marked by a recklessness and daring which indicate an entire ig norance of fear, and even now that his fate is sealed, while the terrible doom of death by Lynch law at the hands of an infuriated people stares him in the face, he declares his only wish to be that he might have a ciub in hit- hand when the ceremony takes place, so that he might brain a dozen before he died. That this is no idle bravado is proved by the fact that he has before now faced and fought angry crowds. In August last, when he robbed the house of a Mr. Beldin, in Illi nois, and was pursued by about twenty men, he killed Mr. Beldin, badly wound ed another, and effected his escape. At St. Elmo, in the same State, he faced the town, shooting down three persons and making good his fight. Yet, fiend as he is, he is said to be well connected, to have received a good education, to write well, to love poetry, and to have in Pennsylva nia a wife and child, those generally hu manizing ties. "Frank Rande" is, of course, an assumed name. .He is describ ed as a handsome man, of good height, unusually powerful frame, wonderful ac tivity, and an eye and chin that denote power and determination of character. Now, what is it that has prevented Frank Rande from being a hero instead of a bif^and and an outlaw? The acci dent of birth The contaminations of evil associations in early life? Vicious training and the lawless indulgence of unrestrained passions? He has the mak ings of a hero in his compositions manly strength, intelligence and the most reck less courage. He has even some notions of chivalry. "I never wronged a woman," he says to the Western reporters, "and I never killed a man who did not face me and fight me." When he was founded and arrested he railed at the officers, who, enraged at the shooting ol their comrades trampled upon and denied him water, as cowards. At last one policeman took charge of him who laid him in an easy position, placed a coat under his head and gave him water to drink. "He treat ed me said the bravo, "as one brave man treats another." What a slight change in the revolving wheel of fortune might have made such a man capabie of great deeds and have ranked him among those whose names are sounded to posterity through the trumpet of fame! How trifl ing a variation in fortune's lottery might liave made a Frank Rande of many a chronicled hero, and graced him at his death with the noose of Judge Lynch in stead of the laurel crown. The general'comrr.issioner of the land office is preparing a bill for the sale or disposal of timber and timber lands in accordance with the recommendations of the secretary of the interior and himself in their annual reports, which will pro vide for the withdrawal of all lands chief ly valuable for timber and not suitable for agricultural purposes from the oper ation of the homestead and pre-emption laws and from liability to be taken by any of the various kinds of land scrip heretofore provided by law. The bill will also provide for the sale of timber of cer tain kinds, reserving the soil with a view to the renewal of forests. It is therefore obvious that speculators and others who wish to use Sioux halfbreed scrip upon pine lands .will have to do their scripping this winter ana as soon as practicable. During the extra session of congress one thousand seven hundred bills were introduced in the house alone. Of these nine hundred and fifty asked for appro priations for various purposes, making an aggregate of $79,000,000. Of these ao propriation bills six hundred and fifty were for the relief or indemnification of private individuals, corporations or states, making an aggregate in round numbers •f $11,500,000. Nearly three hundred bills were introduced appiopriating in round numbers, in the aggregate, $36, 500,000, for such purposes as improve ment of rivers and harbors, building of United States houses, etc. The appro priations asked tor the improvement of the Mississippi river and its levee system, alone amount to over $12,000,000. Geo. P. Flannery's success in selling lots at present and during the past fall is an emphatic indication of the faith the average citizen has in Bismarck. He has disposed of several hundred at private sale and is still selling at fair prices.' In his thanksgiving sermon*. Talmage said: "li the senatorial politicians do not stop stirring up the old national feud, there will be in a year or two an arrival in a Liverpool steamer at the New York dock, of an American who has got tired of traveling in foreign parts, receiving the highest honors ever bestowed upon an American. He will go to Washing ton and take the chair in the White Hause. He will tell them wha is to be preiuent in 1SS0." D. A. Baldwin, President of the West Wisconsin Railway, recently hung him self in New York. He was very rich but had poor health. General Ord wants more troops to guard the Rio Grande frontier. He says the present forces are quite inadequate. The President's message is well thought of throughout the country. It has strengthened him with the people. TERRIBItE HARDSHIPS. SsiTering of the Boys in Slue on the Plains—Facts to Make Democratic Congressmen Blnsh. C.iicago Times. A soldier belonging to the 3d infantry, which recently marched from Corinne, Utah, to Montana, several of the com panies being ordered to Helena and the balance of the regiment to the new post at Missoula, writes a letter to an ex army officer, describing the hardships endured by the troops during the tramp of over six hundred miles. The men of this command were ill prepared, by rea son of their long residence in New Or leans, for the rigors of early winter in the Rocky mountains, and their suffer ings were acutely intense. During a part of the journey they were exposed to a violent snow storm, with the thermom eter fifteen degrees below zero. Not an officer or soldier in the regiment was provided with either overshoes or gloves. Not a few of the men were nearly bare headed, and added to the agony of freez ing feet was the additional torture of being forced to grip the cold steel of muskets with naked hands day after day. When the regiment left New Orleans there was not $5 in the possession of the officers or men. The women and chil dren belonging to the command, inclu ding the wives and offsprings of the offi cers, numbered thirty-two, and transpor tation for these, of course, had to be se cured at individual expense. The wri ter says that but for the timely aid of friends, who, understanding the impecu nious condition of the rank and file, ad vanced a little money out of their private means, those dependent and destitute followers of the camp must have suffered abandonment in their time of greatest need. On the march northward from Corinne several of the woman and chil dren fell sick under the terrible exposure and for weeks their lives were almost de spaired of. The transportation outfit allowed the command was limited to three ambulances. As there was not a dollar money in the regiment, the simplest wants of the sick could not be gratified, as the isolated ranchmen and hunters in that country refused to part with anything when the cash was not forthcoming. Finally, as the regiment was nearing the end ot their march, rag ged, footsore, penniless and shivering, some of the officers sold their payrolls for ctsh, but not without the sacnfice of a discount of 25 per cent, on the dollar. The writer of the letter says that the despot of an African province would be too thoughtful and humane to heap upon his subjects such an indignity as this government has put upon its army, lie thinks the government has disgraced it self no less than its soldiers by cruelly neglecting to provide for their decent comfort. SPOTTSB TAIL AK3 RED Their CLO'DD Sanda Have Henched Their Hstw Agencies on tiie Missoori—Th8 Story of th» Stampede Confirmed— 2,000 Indians Now Running afc Xiarge. Sioux City Journal, 4th. J. S. Roberts, representing F. D. Yates, trader for Red Cloud's !band of Indians, arrived here ye3terday, and from him we learn the following items: H« and his supplies reached the agency at the mouth of the Yellow Med cine Creek November 24, and he was followed next day by the agent The Indians, numbering about 6,000 souls, did not go all the way down to the agency but camped six .miles therefrom and scattering from that point twenty miles west. The telegram from Washington in regard to there having been a stampede among the moving Indians was true, only the number was too small, there having been 2,000 of them instead of 1,700 as reported. They left Spotted Tail's band November 14, and went ever to Red Cloud's band, staying about a week, and it was this that ran the lat ter body short of rations. The Indians that stampeded belong to the Tinnecon jous and other nothern tribes, and when they left the Red Cloud band they said they would go up to Cheyenne agency and stay there* this winter, but that they woald not retnrn to the Spot ted Tail party. They have since been heard of smong the Hills above the Yellow Medicine, and it is altogether likely there is a considerable amount of suffering among them, for they bad no rations to amonnt to anything and there is nothing in the country to sup port them. If they go to Cheyenne agency there will not be enough provender there to spare them any great amount, and the probability it that they will have to be driven down by force to New Spotted Tail agency at the mouth of the Niobrara, where, ar rangements have been made for supply ing them. The bad weather of winter will probably make them somewhat more tractable'than they would be in leu rigorous seasons of the year, which fact wan uUen into account by Gen. Sheridan in determining the date of the removal of'Spotted Tail and Red Cloud to tbe Miusourf, and the circum stances show the wisdom of bis plan. Mr. Roberts heard from a gentleman who left Spotted Tail agency last Sun day, that the Indians destined for that place, numbering over 6,000, had reached the agency that day. DISAPPOINTED. The the President Disgusted at Course of the Democrats. Waihington telegram to later-Ocean. The president has expressed his dis appointment at the actien of the demo crats in forcing party lines to be drawn in the senate. In conversation with a gentleman on Satarday, he sta ted that he bad'hoped that nothing would ame in Congress this session to provoke party or scctional animosities, and was tbe mere disappointed because it had been commenced by the Demo crats, and by the very men who hare been so profuse in their professions of peace to hira. From what was intima ted by the President, it was under stood that he bad been .uo afu-ctcd iy the proceedings of last '.veek that the senate 1 .• !!icati.s w:li not he required to .send :iny uu.rc cancah copunitlees to h'tn. In conversation with two 01 :tek officers, your correspondant leaineu that the '.Me'idons of the president to ward the tie:::ocratic party, a his opinions of the beneficial results oi* pacification policy, was undergoing a rapid change. The Square Thing. Benssm Times. The Bismarckians did the square thing with Chief Joseph and his Nez Perce (nose pierced) followers. They stopped over at Bismarck on their way east under the charge of Gen. Miles' and were feted and banqueted and honored till they couldn't rest. The Official Canvass. Crrr op Bismarck, D.
