10, THE POOR INDIAN.

Puck: A Detroit paper tells of Mime
sofa Indian being found in a bath-tub. We
suggest that our contemporary send his in
formation to Washington. The government
pensions original discoveries.
Eureka New Sentinel: The Shoshone
squaws have caught it at last. Several Of
them can be seen on the sunny side of the
street most any fine day sewing together
fancy colored patches to form a craZy-quilt.
Crazy-quilt circulars will probably be the pre-
vailing style among them this spring.
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise: The Piutes
are taking advantage Of the fine weather,
and every day may be seen INDUCING in such
innocent games as marbles, stud-horse poker,
leap-frog, etc T., on the open lot on G street,
near Sutton avenue. The Piutes are with
out doubt the happiest people on the Com
stock to-day, and for the reason that they
don't deal in stocks.
Chicago News: An old Indian squaw
died near Utah recently. The Mendocino
Dispatch-Democrat asserts that her body was
cremated on log fire and on Wednesday
her late residence was torn down. This last
act is performed by the Indians, that the evil
spirits with which every one is supposed to
be possessed may no longer have and abid-
ing place on the earth, and that they may
thus be forced to take their flight for other
realms.
Detroit Free Press: The Wintun Indians
of the Sacramento valley, according to Maj.
Powell, believes in two worlds, and that each
has its peculiar class ofinhabitants. The sky
is smoke, while to the majority Of Indians IL
is ice, and a few think it quartz crystal.
Mountains were made by the burrowing OF
the mole-god. Light and darkness are
maiden goddesses Rocks and other mani
mate things were once living, and some
rocks now live and speak-this being the
Wintun explanation Of echoes. Whirlwinds
are little spirits seeking water to drink.
Diseases are caused by mythical animals.
Bits Of negro folklore are found among
many tribes of indians, from whom the
slaves must have obtained them.
Arizona Lyre: At the first territorial fair
Of Arizona the feature that attracted the most
attention was the display made by the In
dams. Their exhibit comprised every fern
of vegetable and cereal product entering into
their domestic economy, such as dried
green peppers, dried fruit, Spanish bayonet,
dried fruit Of schaura, or giant cactus, buds
and seeds Of the ''careless weed' Ia small,
brown seed, something like mustard, but
smaller, Indian wheat, beans, corn, etc.
The Indian wheat took first and second prem
iums. Numerous domestic utensils were
also exhibited. Canteens, rattles, baskets
and all sorts of war toggery were displayed.
One curious article was an Indian wooden
plow, an exact counterpart Of those used two
thousand years ago in the valley Of the Nile,
while, strangely enough, the Indians also
took the first premium for the best modern

INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES FOR ALDERMEN.
The Seventh ward Republicans are very
sore and over the pale face of the moon is
the sanguinary hue of blood. In the first
place there was great deal of dissatisfac-
ton over what were termed the methods
of the caucus Of Saturday. Charles Gil
patrick of the First precinct was defeated at
the Bloomington avenue caucus and claims
dirty work. was done against him. Con-
sequently he tas come out as an independ-
ent candidate and says he in the field until
the last vote is cast. Ia the Second precinct
as much dissatisfaction exists. J. f. Nor
strom withdrew his name and followers from
the caucus and has declared he will be an
independent candidate. This same precinct
is also aggrieved at the action of the con-
ventiOn yesterday, in refusing to give it
four delegates to which it was entitled. John
Anderson in the Third ward is likely to be
an independent candidate and has e large
Scandinavian following.

Democrats HappD Deer the Results OF Last
Nights Eighth Yard Caucus.
:sWe will elect one man sure''
The Democr ats of the Eighth ward were
in high glee last night over what they con-
sidered certainty of electing one alderman
''You see,'' said DR.. H. NJ. Avery, who made
the above remark, Democrats have always
been as scarce as hens teeth in the ward,
and now they are beginning to crop out and
to eject an alderman will be a big thing"
He had just come from a Democratic meet
ing at Avery hall. 1t was good meeting,
presided over by Z. a. Parker,
and T. P. Norris acted as secretary.
r. P. Russell was nominated for one of the
aldermen and Capt f. G. Babb, one of the
Republican nominees, was Endorsed. The
meeting not only included Democrats, but a
number of good Republicans and some Pro-
hibitiouists, and the enthusiasm was marked.
Dr. Avery and Mr.. Wilson each made
speech approving the nominations, and
George Tullock and David Howe, both Re-
publicaus, followed with rafting speeches of
approval.
Capt. Ba5b is a very popular and conserv-
alive man, and his election, of course, is
sure. A great deal of opposition is said
to exist to George W. Cooley, the
present alderman and Republican nominee,
especially in his own precinct, the Third.
Said one Of the members: Cooley brought
a crowd, on free car, and packed the con-
vention that nominated him. He is not
liked either by the Prohibitionists, who nom
mated him, or the Republicans, who Endorsed
him. On the other hand, Z. P Russell is a
man liked by everybody, and believe he
will be elected with Capt. Babb.''
The delegates to the Democratic conven-
ton chosen last week. and printed in the
GLOBE, were formally Endorsed, so there
will be probably no caucus on Saturday
night, there being no necessity.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
Hen,6ers of the G.. Il. r. Who Intend Going
to Portland WHAT the Fare

About twenty G. A. r. men met last even
ing at the Office Of jordan & Merchant to
talk over the projected excursion to the
National encampment, to be held at Port
land, Me-, in June, E. W. Mortimer as chair
man. A letter was read which gave the
prices and accommodations which are
available for the Minnesotians who
wish to quarter outside of the camp,
Old Orchard, Peaks Island, being mentioned
as affording superior advantages, although
quarters can be provided either in the city or
at the camp. A communication was read
from the general passenger association Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis which stated that the
round trip fare to Chicago. first-class limited,
would be $3.50, subject TO the same con-
ditions as the tickets sold by the Chicago as

The Muldoon delegate concluded his was a
hopeless cause and switched over to Swanson
on the second ballot and that was the only
change. After taking seven ballots, a
portion of the delegation began to
display desire to crafty the cravings of an
empty stomach and one moved an adjourn
ment to dinner, but the majority prevailed
and balloting was renewed. ''We'll
fight it out on this line if it takes all sum-
mer," shouted one enthusiast, a disciple of
Swanson's cause. GAN right. We will
give you enough of it," was the ready re-
Spouse, and on went the good work. Count
after count was made and announced, show
ing no material change. On the tifty-eighth
ballot, however, decided break was made,
changing the complexion of affairs. The
Brearly men went over to Swanson,
giving him ten, but they were vacillating,
Tor they went back to their first love, Mr.
breariy. Presently, however, Swanson's
following began to gain until on the sixty
nth ballot he showed Is votes, bare ma
Jority. 1t was moved to make Mr.. Swan
sons nomination unanimous, but the dele
CATION would not have it that way. The
eleven who had stood out against the final
result, cried mo- with vim that impressed
the others that they meant what they said
Seventh Ward-The caucus of the Seventh
ward delegates organized with L. L. Wheel
ock Of the First precinct as chairman. j. H.
Arnell of the Second precinct secretary. 1t
was agreed that each precinct should nomi-
nate candidate for alderman, and discus
sion followed as to which should have the
long term. Ira Newell claimed the First pre-
cinct was entitled to it, as the term of the
present alderman expires first. a. E. Newell
said that the delegates from the First precinct
had majority in the caucus, and as the
scheme to have the convention increase the
number of delegates from the Second pre-
cinct had been sprung in violation Of an I'M
Outstanding that the Second precinct would
insist upon having the long term. This was
put to vote and carried OF course A. Z.
Allen then nominated c. c. Richardson for
alderman from the First precinct for the
long term, and on motion of Ira Newell the
nomination was made unanimous. Ira
Newell nominated Phineas Phelps for alder
man from the Second precinct, and on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Allen the nomination was made
unanimous. The chairman, on motion, APP
pointed the following precinct committee
from the First precinct: a. E. Allen, G. W.
Thompson, j. W. Wright.
Eighth Ward-The nominations in this
ward have already been made. They are
Capt. &. c. Babb and Aid. Cooley.
