A Boston drummer was the other

In the course of All hour he returned

"Yes," said the senior member of
the firm; n had it in my hand when
Mr.. -, who lives in the next town
above, dropped in on an errand. He
caught sight of the photo, and he
jumped two feet high and swore like
trooper. He recognized it as the
picture of his wife!"
"No," gasped the drummer.
"That's what he said. If you are
his brother-in-law then his wife may
be your sister. If you are not and
YOU can't make him believe that his
wife and your sister were twins, you'd

During the twenty-four hours pre-
ceding her death, at Iowa City, Ia,
Miss Deuel. drank no water, it seem
ing to sicken her. Her pulse in the
morning was imperceptible, and her
respiration thirtyfve per minute.
She was able to communicate with
her friends by means Of her fingers.
She said she was not hungry. Her
last moments were very peaceful and
her mind clear. Immediately after
her death post mortem examination
was made by DR.. Cowperthwaite,
Dean of the Homeopathy Department
of the University. Not a drop of
blood was found in the body. The
body weighed forty five pounds. The
stomach was also void of ally sub
stance. No further analysis has yet
been made public. This young wo-
man wanted to die. She was pros
trated by an incurable disease, and
she made up her mind that she would
not bear the hopeless pain any longer.
So she calmly ceased to take nourish-
ment, aud died at the end of a forty
seven-days' fast.

INDIAN sUPERsTITIONs.
A squaw put to Death for wttchcraft


1t is now stated upon reliable au-
thority says Saturdays Ssluer= State,
that the Indians at the burial OF
member of their tribe, iii the Harmony
mountains, some eight or nine miles
from town, actually sacrificed . squaw
on the grave Of the dead brave. The
Indians are very reticent regarding
the matter, but admit that the squaW
was WITCH aud had, by her influence
with the Evil Spirit, caused the death
# four or five men Of the tribe. against
whom she entertained some grudge.
1t is generally known that the Indians
mere are now as superstitious regard
! ing witchcraft as were the people OF
Massachusetts, one hundred and eIgl-
lty years ago, when nineteen persons
were convicted Of the crime OF witch
craft and executed by the authorities
at that place. They believe that the
woman who was BaLnock, was in
league with the Evil One, and and BY
| her spells and incantations could bring
sickness and death to those with whom
! she came in contact. The Indians say
| it has been the custom of their tribe,
from time immemorial, to put such per-
sons to death at tile grave of one OF
their victims, and they consider them
selves wholly justified in doing 50.
The woman, we learn, walked to the
burying ground perfectly reconclled to
her fate, and made no attempt to get
away. A few years ago, young
suuaw known as Susie Jane was pro-
nounced a witch by the leading men
of the tribe, and sentenced to be put
to death On the way. to the place OF
execution, she made her escape, and
left the town for while. As no In.
dans died within a given time after
her escape, it was thought that the
Evil Spirit had been frightened away
and she was pardoned and permitted
to return.
