The Phantom Party.
On Monday night a very delightful
entertainment was held at the New
berry Hotel. It was designated in the
langut ge of modern society, a phantom
party, we presume, in consequence of
the spectre-like or ghost-like appear
ance of the participants and pleasure
seekers on this night in question. It
is the general opinion, we believe, that
a ghost is white, although what foun
dation there is for such belief we do not
know, never having seen one. The
g-!ant young men and fair maidens
on this occasion, during the first part
of the evening were all arrayed in ele
gant white costumes with masks cov
ering the face, and all went merry as
merry could be,without the stiffness of
formal introduction, for no one was
presumed to know the other.
About 11 o'clock, or perhaps later,
the masks were removed and pleasure
ran high until the small hours of the
morniug when the happy company ad
journed.
Through the kindness of some of the
ladies who were present we are per
mitted to present a list of those who
were fortunate enough to enjoy this
festive occasion, together with a descrip
tion of the dresses of the ladies after
the masks were Pemoved.

ornaments, diamonds; Mrs. C. C. Davie,
black silk, ornaments, diamonds; Mrs.
E. M. Evans, tan and brown, diamond
ornaments; Mrs. Lockwood, tailor
made cream flannel gown, pearl pin,
ornaments, pearls and diamonds.

young maidens were: Miss Mobley, of
Johnson, pink brocaded satin decc
lette in train, pearl ornaments; Miss
Strother, of Johnson, combination of
blue and old gold plush, v neck, elbow
sleeves, diamond ornaments; Miss Mil

"I Am Head of the Family."
Sir John Swinburne tells with much
gusto how, whenever he is introduced
to anyone, he is asked : "Are you re
lated to the poet Algernon Swin
burne?" to which he invariably re
plies, "Bless your soul I am head of
the Swinburne family, and he is re
lated to me." Sir John has just here
happily bit off the relationship of
W estmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. It is
the head of the family ; it ranks first,
and the superlative merits of a tonic
are embodied in it. It is pre-eminently
the favorite with practising physicians.
and they generously prescribe it.. The
formula combines the r >werful virtues
of the Calisaya or Cinchona bark and
other valuable tonics and alteratives.
For indigestion, general debility, dys
pepsia, torpid liver, impure blood or
malarial poisoning, is an invaluable.

FIGHTING THE INDIANS.
How Big Foot wai Captured-One Souti
Carolinian Killed and one Wounded.
OMAHA, NEll., Decemner 29 -A
special to the Bee from Pine Ridge
Agency says
"Couriers from the Bad Lands, who
arrived here this morning, announce
that a bloody and desperate conflict oc
curred this morning on poreupine
Creek between the United States troops
and the hostiles. Big Foot's band had
been surrounded by the troops, and
when the former were being disarmed
by Col. Forsythe a bloody encounter
Look place. Capt. Wallace, command
ing K troop, of the 7th cavalry, was
killed; Lieut. Garlington, of the same
regiment was shot in the arm, several
oldiers were killed and a number 01
Indians bit the dust.
"The greatest excitement prevails
here among the agency employees and
also among the friendless, many 01
whom are relatives of the young bucks
now on the war path. Grave fears are
etertained here for the safety of this
post. Details of the battle are expected
hourly. The courier who brought the
news of the conflict could only give
facts relating to the onset."
The above news was substantiated by
an official dispateh received at the
headquarters of the department of the
Platte.
CHICAGO, December 26.-The fol
lowing was received at army headquar
ters to-night at a late hour.
RAPID CITY, S. D., December 29.
To Col. H. C. Corbin, Army Headquar
ters, Chicago, Ill: Col. Forsythe reports
that while disarming Big Foot's band
fight occurred. Capt. Wallace and
uve soldiers were killcd. Lieut. Gar
lington and fifteen men were wounded,
This again complicates the surrender of
all the Indians, which would have
taken place in a short time had this
not occurred.
Forsythe had two battalions and
Hotchkiss guns. Quite a large numbei
of young warriors had been away from
the camp and;were going from the Bad
Lands, also quite a number of Utes
Two Strike's band is going towards
Forsythe. The troops are in close prox
imity, Col. Miles commanding.
The detachment at once began to
search the village, resulting in thirty
eight guns being found. As this was
about completed the Indians, surroun
ded by Companies K. and B., began to
move. All of a sudden they threw their
hands to the ground and began firing
rapidly at the troops, not twenty feel
away.
The troops wereat great disadvantage
fearing the shooting of our own com
rades. The Indians, men, women and
hildren, then run to the south of the
battery, firing rapidly as they ran. Soot
mounted troops were after them, shoot.
ng them down on every side.
The engagement lasted fully an houi
ad a half. To the south many toolk
refuge in a ravine, from which it was
ifficult to dislodge them. It is esti
ated that the soldiers killed and
wounded number about fifty. Just nosw
t is impossible to state the exact num
er of dead Indians. There are many
ore than fifty, however, killed out
ight.
The soldiers are shooting Indians
own where found, no quarters being
iven by any one.
Capt Wallace, K. troop, 7th cavalry,
was killed, and Lieut Garlington, ol
Aric fame, shot through the arm at
the elbow. Troops are still firing and
pursuring the enemy in every direction.
To say it was a most daring feat, one
hndred and twenty Indians attacking
five hundred cavalry, expresses the
situation but faintly. It could only have
een insanity which promprted such a
~leed. It is doubted that if '-ore night
either buck or squaw out r."all Big
oot's band will be left to tell the tale
f this day's treachery.
The members of' the 7th cavalry have
mee more shown themselves to be he
roes in deeds of daring. Single-handed
:onflicts were seen all over the field.
The death of Capt. Wallace causes
nueb regret. The poor fellow met his
death'by a blow on the head from a
ar club.
CAPT GEORGE D. WA LLACE.
Capt. Wallace, who was killed as
above described, was born June 29,
1849 ; graduated at West Point, class 01
1872; appointed 1st lieutenant June
26, 1876, and captain September 23,
188.5. He was a son of Ex-Congress
man A. S. Wallace and a brother 01

THE WOUNDED LIEUTENANT.
Lient Ernest A. Garlington is the
eldest son of the late Gen Albert C. Gar
lington, of New berry, and is e. descend
ant of the Garlingtons, of Laurens, r
family distinguished in South Carolint
from the colonial period to the presen1
day. While his father was practicing
law in Atlanta young Garlington was
app.ited to a cadetship at the United
States Military Academy at Wesl
Point. He entered the Academy or
July 1, 1872, and was graduated at the
head of his class on June 15, 1875, or
which day he was commissioned as
second lieutenant in the United States
army and assigned to the 7th cavalry
n june 26 of the same year he was
romoted to be first lieutenant. Fron:
une 6, 1877, to November 30, 1881, he
acted as adjutant of his regiment.
Lieut. Garlington's name has be
ome familiar to all newspaper readers
n accoun t of his command in 1882 0:
the expedition sent to the Arctic Seas
to the relief of the Greely party. The
expedition was unsuccessful, but it is
said that to Lieut Garlington's good
management was due the safe returt
f his party. After a most thorougl:
investigation of the exp,edition and 0:
the causes of its failure, Lieut Garling
ton was exonerated from all blame and
in addition was highly complimented
by the war department authorities foi
his good judgment.
Lieut Garlington joined his regimeni
after his return from the ArcticSeas and
has since been stationed at various ar
my posts in the West. He is a dashing
cavalry officer and is highly esteemed
by his superiors as an Indian fighter
He ie a warm personal friend of Gen.
Miles and has his entire confidence
He was stationed at the front just as
soon as the present Indian troubles be

TEACHERS' COLUMN. I
The teachers who missed our last
convention missed an instructive treat.
Miss Garlington's class drill in pho
netics was quite a lesson to such old
fogy teachers as the writer. We have
recently felt more interest in the new
methods of teaching than we once
thought we could. Why is it? Be
cause the new methods are the best,
and we believe that the teachers who
try them will agree with us.
It is surely the duty of the teacher to
prove all things, and lay hold of that
which will impart the most and the
best in the least time. The new system
of teaching reading is certainly an im
provement, and we do wish that all
teachers would treat it with respect
enough to try it. If we expect to hold
our positions as teachers, we must lay
aside prejudices and falling into line,
march on. We cannot afford to be ob
stinate or we will simply be told that
we are out of date and that there is
another better qualified to take our
place.
But some will say, I have not the
time, or the proper pupils. or -.
Away with excuses. In every recog
nized school there are at least six small
children. If they know the alphabet
and can even read a little this does not
differ. Give them a class recitation
in sounds each day, just as if they had
never seen a letter. You will be awk
ward at first, but "perseverence will
conquer," and the ignorant must learn
before they can communicate. A chart
like Miss Garlington's would be desira
ble, but not many of us can have it.
Our chance is to print the words on the
board. This, too, is difficult; but with I
a little practice your letters will soon
be legible. The children enjoy the
lesson greatly, and it will break the
monotony for you.
We are sure that in primary teaching
we have laid too much stress on spell
ing, and we have paid the penalty.
How we have laborcd to teach children
the letters, never being able to think
what vague instruments their names
were for building words. When we
first considered phonetic reading we
saw it only "through a glass darkly,"
but now we prefer it to "the good old
way."
Another reason for our teaching pho
netic reading is that some of our pupils
will one day be teachers, and it is our
duty to thoroughly equip them for
their work. It is in the common schools
that we must prepare teachers for the
common schools. Remember, our pu
pils will reflect our light. Without
every ray is given we cannot reflect the
pure white. Let us, then, be up and
doing lest our efforts be obscure. There
is a supineness about many of our
teachers which we are sorry to see.
Is it because they do not feel interested
in their wvork? Why don't they attend
our school conventions? If they would
come a few times, they would become
interested. Try it. Surely in your
schools you have a patron kind enough
to furnish a way and a youth gallant J
enough to drive you to town. This one
thing you enn do; you can test the mat
ter and if you cannot succeed you will
certainly be excused. J. A. L.
