THE PAPAGOS OF ARIZONA.

A Medicine Mans Failure to Cure CHIEF
The Penalty He Paid.
Twas talking the other day with Capt.
Frank Cloud, now living in Arizona,
about the Indians out III that territory.
Said he:
awe have a race of Indians in Ari-
zona called the Papagos. Time out OF
mind they have lived at peace with the
whites, but in their battles with the other
Indians are fully the equal in pluck and
courage of the dreaded Apaches. Some
months ago, while temporarily residing
among them, I became witness to one OF
their customs, which, if practiced among
the whites, would have the effect of de-
creasing a certain portion of our popula-
ton quite materially. One of their great
chiefs wes stricken down with fever.
The medicine man dosed him with herbs
and applied all the healing remedies
within his knowledge. Notwithstanding
his efforts the old man gradually grew
worse and finally died.
~ihe day following his burial noticed
an unusual commotion about the camp.
all the men, women and children were
gathered together as if to perform some
great religious ceremony. There was an
air of solennity about the scene that
justified this impression. The mystery
was explained when I saw the medicine
man, escorted by two young bucks,
march from his tent and take position
about fifty feet distant. At a given sig
nal one of the young men raised his rifle
and, before I could comprehend what
was taking place, fired bullet into the
medicine mans heart, killing him in
stantly. I then learned that it was the
the custom of these Indians where a
medicine man failed to cure one of the
sachems who died from causes other
than wounds received in battle that he
5must suffer death as consequence OF his
rfnSk Of skill. a. 3,-.-s,,,Fs-.
Y asked Capt. Cloud how, under these
circumstances, they succeeded in finding
q person willing to accept such posi-
tion. He replied that the Office car
ried with it great many perquisites and
privileges that made it very desirable
one. Moreover" he added, aevery In
dian expects to die with his boots on
as they say out there, and as the post of
medicine man relieves them from the
necessity of bearing arms, the chances of
Of death are no greater on the one hand
than the other. They bear their fate phi
losophicaly, and I have never heard of
an instance where an attempt was
made to evade it by seeking safety in
flight."-Jules Guthridge in Chicago

THE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
IL the Mutual Reserve Fund Life ASSo-
citation is marvellous in the annals Of life

come q tower Of strength, and has been
well earned by the untiring devotion of
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attach S

exhibit of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July /, 1885, this shows a
gain of no less than S13 214, $50 over that

In June alone its mOrtuary receipts eX-
ceeded $3.50, 900, of Which over S60, 900 went
into the Reserve Fund-that triple buttresS
upon which the association justly prides
itself. This reserve now amounts to S425,

occur in excess of the American Experience

and to be apportioned among those who

HOW HIS SISTER WAS MURDERED.
A Boy Relates in Court the Cruelty OF
Brutal Man and Wife.

SCRANTON, Pa. April 2l.-Llttle
Frank Gaughan. II years old. testified
in court this morning against John Nc
Andrews and wife, who are on trial,
charged with the murder OF his thirteen
year-old sister. Mary Gaullan, whom
they killed by cruelty and neglect. The
boy said that for the first month after
he and his sister were adopted by the
McAndrews they were fairly treated,
but after that time the entire family be-
gan to abuse Mary. She was sent bare
foot long distances on errands during
the frosty weather, and was made to
sleep on the floor on a bed made ofmeal
bags, with covering but the thin
calico gown winch she wore during the
day. Her food was oatmeal mush,
which she made herself, and was COM
PEELED to eat with ber fingers from a
pail on the floor. On the Saturday be-
fore she died McAndrews heated a poker
until it was red, and rubbed it upon her
teeth, saying that If her ghost returned
he would be able to identify her. The
morning Of her death she lay on the
floor with no covering, over her, al
though the weather was piercing cold.
She begged her little brother to place
her head on pillow and get the dog to
lie on her feet to keep them warm. The
Sunday before she died McAndrew took
of her clothing. put her in a tub of
water. and then beat her with q horse
whip. The boy told Of other cruelties
equally bad, ond his story was cor
roborated by the testimony OF several
neighbors.
DR.. Dean, the county Coroner. also
testified that the girls death was due to
starvation and neglect. The case is
still on.

Cure for pileg.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affec-
tion of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
tion are present, tlatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleed
ing aad Itching Piles yield at once to
the application of DR.. Bosankos Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect
ing a permanent cure. Price so cents.

Colleges, state and Denominational.

Editor Times and Den0c7Gt::
In my last made a mistake in stat
ing that the friends of the State Col
lege in argument, said that there would
be an honest rivalry" They said there
would be no competition at all. That
the University would be established on
higher plan, that students GRADUATE
ing in the UNCONVENTIONAL schools
could take course in the State Col
lege. Honest rivalry" was used in
arguments, some two or. three years
after the college was established, when
the trustees construed or rather mis-
construed, the constitution to mean
free tuition; an outrage, an imposition
and an underbid to draw Students from
the denominational colleges. This, Mr..
Editor, they say is "honest rivalry" /
say it is about as honest rivalry as you
may find in darkey hucksters on your
streets. There is something myster-
ious to me about this "free tuition.
Why did it take the Trustees and a
Judge of the Supreme Court three or
four years to understand the constitu'
tion of the State. thought they knew
it by heart? l have read it once or
twice and I don't claim to have any
thing but good horse sense, and I can't
understand it to mean free tuition to
students able to pay. I think the con-
stitution says that the trustees shall
charge not less than - dollars nor
more than forty dollars tuition fee tc
students. How can these wise men
get over this? Well, Mr.. Editor,
whenever a lawyer gets in tight place
in argument and falls back on the
constitution you may take it for grant
ed he is on the wrong side. Idon't say
this to disparage the lawyer, [ think
they are a necessity to our government
I am a good friend to them. In a
fight in argument the constitution is
their fort. l am q friend to the State
College, but this "honest rivalry" or
free tuition has to be removed or
may beinduced to be Tillman man.

Editor Tunes G7ltt Deh20clUt:
Balmy Spring is here and the farm
ers have "pitched" their annual crop.
The acreage in cotton is fully up to the
standard of any proceeding year, while
the amount of commercial fertilizers
used is perhaps i'll excess. Owing to
the prevailing dry weather cotton has
not come up to any extent yet. The
oat crop was seriously damaged by the
excessively cold weather during the
past winter, both rs to "stand" and
acreage.
Business is unusually dull even for
this season; our people indulge too
freely in the credit or lien system the
great incubus of our prosperity; all
agree that this is true, but few act
otherwise until it is too late.
A party of gentlemen consisting of
Messrs. 0. H. Wienges, w. H. Wise, -
Trezevant and others living near this
place went to the Santee last Friday
for the purpose of sturgeon fishing.
They succeeded in capturing three, the
largest of which weighed 296 pounds
fourteen hodrs after capture and meas
ured feet inches in length. Anoth-
er weighed 106 pounds, and still the
fishermen assert that it was not a good
day for fishing, however other fish
stories are now in order.

the evening of the 10Th very suddenly.
Mrs. W. was on a visit to her son, our

reavement.
We hear very little of politics so far.
The proverbial "Maay Friends" of
aspiring candidates have not yet parad-
ed the names of this worthy self-sacritic-
ing class of gentlemen. There has been
some expression of opinion recently
relative to the manner of nominating
candidates for the respective offices to
which they aspire, and if your cores
pondent mistakes not the prevailing
opinion is decidedly in favor of Prima-
ry method. Other counties have tried
it and are pleased, it certainly abolishes
