Emerson somewhere asks: Hast
thou named all the birds without
gum" Gibson Is one of the few who
can afiirmatively answer this question,
for the instrument by which he brings
the birds as victims before his eyes is
the blowgun. 1t is very simple. Only
a glass tube about three feet long.
This he has covered with black ribbon,
that 1t can be carried without observa-
ton. To casual sight it is simply q
slight walking stick. But let the bird
whose plumage the artist desires to
study pass the range OF not more tn an
100 feet and the black rod is raised, a
little psller made of clay and glue Is
taken from the pocket, the instrument
is raised to the lips and this bird falls.
AZ many as fifteen specimens have
been gathered In this manner in sin.

which, because handled by an artist,
may be called blow gun, but which
In common parlanee in uuesthetiC
circles is nothing more nor less than

Use for Ra,tlesuakes.

The demand for rattlesnake oil is
shown by the fact that the serpents
are often hunted systematically in or
der that quantities of their oil may be
obtained. Every summer citizens Of
Portland, Conn, go out to Rattlesnake
Lodges and catch the reptiles with
gsff hooks. the local druggist paying
them $4 an ounce for the oil, which
finds ready sale. A prominent physl-
clan tells OF case, within his knowl-
edge, where man, suffering from an
ulcer, took a rattlesnake into his bed
with the vague idea of somehow ex-
tractipg the virulence of the sore. In
some rural districts of the Union men
wear the rattles in their hats as rem
edy for the headache.

rae SITUATION SERIOUS.

WASHINGTON, June % News was
received at the WAL department late
this evening to the effect that the diff.
Guilty with the Cheyenne Indians is
becoming very serious. Gen. Anger
has ordered four companies of the Fiji
tenth cavalry to go to the scene
of the disturbances in addition to the
companies previously sent. This
makes ten companies. At Reno three
additional companies are held In readi-
ness to go at u moments notice Gen.
Anger recommends the appointment
of commission to ascertain
the cause of the discomfort.
The Southern Cheyennes are located
in the western portion of the Territory.
The country is level and devoid Of
trees except along the ttreams. 1t is
very easy for the Indians to keep out
OF the way of the troops. 1t Is believed
that the Indians are well supplied with
arms. They are said to be good
| fighters, and fight altogether on horse
back.
The last trouble with the Cheyennes
occurred about nine years ago and
continued forimore than year. 1t was
caused by the Indians of that tribe
massacreing portion of party
moving overland. The massacre oc-
Cured In Kansas The father, mother
and daughter were killed and four
remaining children were taken cap
tive. The daughter who was killed
before she was captured took the life
OF an Indian with an axe as he at
tempted to get into the wagon ia
which the children were gathered
Prior to this massacre the Cheyennes
became unfriendly toward the
whites. A number of mer
disguised rs Indians haC
burned a bridge on the Kansas Pa
} citic railway for the purpose OF stop
! ping a train 40 they might plumber it
After the destruction of the bridge
troops were sent to capture the mer
! implicated. An officer happened
one day TO see an Indial
standing alone at a distance. He drew
l nearer, fired and killed HIM. The In
dian was the son of Lone Wolf, grea
Cheyenne chief. When he was burie,
four hundred ponies were killed abov,
a his grave. Though Lone Wolf himsel
: did not participate in the outbreal
J. which followed his sons death,
was thought the shooting of the youn
