READY FOE A FIGHT. Signals of the Hostiles Indicate That They Will Take the Warpath]» To-Day. The Conflict Between the Cowboys and Indians Thought to Have In flamed the Latter. I N E RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Dec. 16.— About 9 o'clock last night a gieat light sud denly blazed up in the north west the di rection of the Bad Lands. The light faded to a sullen glow and then rapidly spread along the sky for a distance of a couple of miles. Men posted in Indian signals in the camp said this meant that the Indians in the Bad Lands had determined to fight. It is thought that the conflict between the Indians and the cowboys on Battle creek yesterday, in •which three of the former were killed, has inflamed the Indians. The Indians in the camp of the friendlies, on being a&ked what the signal meant, de clined at first to talk, but being pressed finally said it meant that their brothers in the Bad Lands would be on0 the warpath within one sun anJoseph that ali Indians who did not join them would be dogs and enemies forever. The friendlies, however, disclaimed any inten tion of obeying the signal. The guards here will be doubled nevertheless, and the friendly camp kept under the closest sur veillance. The Sixth, Seventh and Eighth cavalry and 300 state militia are under marching or ders and will start for the Bad Lands either to-night or to-morrow morning. It is the general opinion here that a fight with the hostiles is inevitable. INDIANS GOING NOETH. E I CITY, S. D., Dec. 16.—A battery of Hotchkiss guns was sent to-day from Fort Mead to reinforce Gen. Carr's command at the mouth of Rapid creek. A number of straggling parties of Indians have been Seen going north. They are under command of Short Bull and Kicking Bear, and say they will not surrender. Short Bull is one of the worst Indians on the reservation. It was he who murdered Agent Appleton in cold blood at Pine Ridge. It is expected the main body of hostiles will attempt to follow him. Gen. Carr has orders to intercept and disarm the Indians at all hazards, and it is expected a collision will occry to-morrow in vicin ity of the mouth of the Sprink creek or Rapid creek. Dr. McGillycuddy, surgeon general of the South Dakota militia, has been ordered to join Col. Day's command at the front. Several old Indian fighters have volun teered as guides and scouts. A company of Sioux and Crow scouts from the north are on their way to join Gen. Carr. The Indians sent out by Gen.

D., Special Telegram, Dec. 16.—This point has been wisely chosen with a view to preventing any unruly Indians lrom the Sioux and Cheyenne reservations from escaping and joining friends in North Dakota and Wyoming or across the Canada border. Dickinson is a division station of the Northern Pacific, in immediate tele graphic communication with points east and west, with plenty of engines and cars ready to supply troops or place them promptly where they are most needed in guarding the line. It is believed that more will be sent here, and certainly no point of the Northern Pacific is better suited to the object in view. No information can be obtained here to give ground for the newspaper rumors con cerning a fight between lriendlies and hos tiles. It is not believed that any bloodshed has occurred, nor is it thought likely that Kicking Rear and Short Bull have left the vicinity oi their own reservations. Scout ing parties will bet out from here to-morrow toward the Sioux reservation to ascertain the probability ol the reports. E AZTECS A E E Mexican Indians Have the Messiah Craze, Also. KANSAS CITY, Dec. 16.—Luis Del Commun of Cholulu, Pueblo, Mex., was in the city to-day route to Chicago. I an interview ^o-night ha said the Aztec Indians of Mexico are afflicted with a Messiah craze very similar to that which is disturbing the In dians in the Dakotas. All the Aztec tribes scattered through Mexico are, he said, be lievers in the prophesied Messiah, expected to appear and free them lrom the loreign conqucrers and restore them to their do main and their pristine glory. At Cholulu are the ruins ot an old Aztec temple. This is the Mecca of the believers in the Messiah and there are now encamped about it hundreds of Aztecs, who are engaged periorming all sorts of myoteriug religious rites. Ot these rites of old human sacrifice was part, accompanied with a flower dance. The sacrifice has been done away with and now only the dance remains. The Aztec prophesy is very like that which is belseved in" by the Sioux. The Messiah will cause the volcano Popocata petl to erupt and overwhelm the country with lava, which will destroy all but the Aztecs. REPORTE OFFICIALLY. Col. Day, of the South Dakota Militia, Reports Three Indians Killed. PIEBEE, S. D., Special Telegram, Dec. 16. —Gov. Mellette to-day received word from Col. M. Day, who is in charge of the militia forces in the Black Hills, that in an engagement with the Indians yesterday near Hermosa three Indians were killed. It is his opinion that there will have to be bloodshed among the Indians before they Can be brought to their senses. under stands it is the policy ot tne war depart ment to arrest the leaders as soon as possi ble. Nobody likes to be in danger from the Indians, lor it is proverbial that there is no telling what they will do. These In dians were wild when they were settled on their reservations, and while many have been partly civilized, the great per cent of them have remained their original state. Invention ot Poplin. Dry Goods Chronicle: The original in vention of poplin is claimed by Avignon, France, once a'papal see, on which account it was called papaline, in compliment to the reigning pope, at which time (the fifteenth century) this rich material was produced to supply the gorgeous ecclesias tical vestments and hangings in use.

The La Touche fiunily established the first organized tuanu ik/etonr there, which commenced operations 2% .%*£§! A TERBIBL E A E A Street Car Runs Over a tittle Boy and Severs His Head. Shortly before 6 o'clock last night there occurred one of the saddest accidents known for along time in the casualty record of St. Paul. A party of bovs who had been out skating were returning home. As they were passing along South Concord, near State street, one of them, Joseph Bracken, a boy about seven years old, and who re sided with his parents at 210 Robie street, attempted to board a steet car. On that street there is an extension, with what is now commonly denominated "a bob-tail" car, making trips over it. The line or loop extends lrom Concord to Annapolis street. Boys have been in the habit of trying to steal rides on these cars, as mischievous boys oiten will, though repeatedly warned not to do so. I some unaccountable way the boy missed his footing, falling off the car in such a manner that the car wheels run oyer hisuieck, completely severing the head from the body. As soon as the driver, Joseph Mahler, be came aware that something had happened he stopped the car and ran to the unfor tunate lad's assistance, but the cruel deed was complete with the body lying along side the track and the decapitated head ?.ear- body was taken to P. Gadbout's. thebouth Robert street undertaker. Dr. Darling will hold an inquest at 1 a. m. to-day. Although the driver, Mahler, was placed under arrest, the general sentiment of the passengers and other bystanders is to the effect that the affair was a purely accidental one, and that the driver is in no sense culpable. Sad as these accidents are, they will con tinue at intervals unless some means of preventing boys climbing on or off moving cars is enforced. Some years ago a bright Hi tieiellow lost a portion of one of his legs hi tuis way. which was grievous enough, but this accident is the most horrible of the kind that ever happened in St. Paul. CAUGH FALLIN WALLS Death and Injury Caused by a Fire In Kirksvlile, Mo. KIEKSVILLE, Mo., Dec. 16.—Early this morning fire broke out in the furniture and hardware store of P. M.

Al ot these houses were completely destroyed, but their contents, with the exception» the stock of furniture and hardware of P. M. mith, were saved.

He Shields the Man Who Criminally As saults His Little Daughter. CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 16.—A horrible crime committed about five weeks since has just leaked out. It is said that at that time Lee Moonshower criminally assaulted the five and seven-year-old daughtera of his brother Frank. Both children wero injured and the elder quite seriously. The father swore the doctor to secrecy and hushed up the matter by the promise of $10 in money to be paid some time this month. Neighbors called upon the prosecutor and will prob ably file an affidavit. Lee Monshower was arrested late last night and is confined iu jail. An Immense Irrigating System. WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Dec. 16. —Representative Hansbrough is preparing a bill which will ask an appropriation for a survey for an immense irrigating system in North Dakota. The measure will pro pose a survey from some point on the Mis souri river in the neighborhood of Fort Stevenson or Washburn, to ascertain the feasibility of drawing the flood waters of the Missouri to the Cheyenne and James rivers and storing them in the natural res ervoirs. It this could be done a two-fold advantage would be gained, as -in addition to the irrigation the floods on the lower Missouri vv ould be greatly reduced in vol ume. Mr. Hambrough says there is a nat ural fall ot 500 feet between the Missouri and these other streams, and the surlace is such that the construction of a channel would be comparatively easy and cheap. Suwanee Fitted the Line. The following story is published by a cor respondent of Philadelphia Press: "Did you ever hear how 'Suwanee River' was written?" "Don't think I ever did." "Well, Steve Foster—Stephen C. Foster was his full name—was in the zenith of his popularity when he wrote the words," said my friend to me. "He had written the song in the frame house on Sanduskv street in Alleghany, bnt he couldn't find the name of a river that suited him. Finally he went over to the office of his brother, Morrison Foster, sat down on his desk, and said: 'Morrison, I've got a new darkey song here, and it's complete exeppt the name of the river. I want a Southern river with only two or three syllables. Give me one, wont you?' "Morrison suggested several, but they didn't suit. Then he took down an atlas, ran his eye over a map of the Southern States tor a few minutes and finally said, "Here's a river in Florida by the name of Suwanee, bow will that do?'' 'That's it, that's it," exclatmedthe song writer, jumping from the desk. 'It's just what I want,' and picking up a pen he in serted the name of the river that has since become the title of one of the sweetest and most pathetic of melodies. I believe that Stephen C. Foster never thought very much of the piece himself until after it had taken its place among the popular songs of ttw century.'' IM jm A Bellamy Apartment House. Omaha Bee: Omaha will soon have an apartment house that will be built on the Edward Bellamy idea. J. H. Van Dorn is now having the plans for such a building prepared.
