Speaking of the late Chief Colorow, of the
Southern Utes one who knew him says:

always hungry. He drank his share of fire.
water, too, | guess, ana his band of braves
averaged 400 or 500. Now that he has gone
TO the happy hunting grounds no one but his
sauaws will mourn. and the Indian problem

Abraham Lincoln. in his first canvass, was
elected TO the presidency Nov. g, and the
session of congress Immediately succeeding
that event opened Dec. g. This was in 1860.

has never occurred on Nov. until this year.
The cycle which brings election day on
Nov. 6, and the opening of congress on
Dec 3 in presidential years, is ordinarily
completed in twenty-eight years. That is to
say, these things occurred in 1904 and 1882,
as well as in 1850 and 1883. They would
occur again in 1916, and not before, were it
not for a disturbing factor. Presidential
years are generally leap years, and have 366
DAYS. The year 1900, however. will be an
ordinary year of 365 days A president
will be elected on Nov. 6 and a congressional
session will be held on Dec. in the year
1900.

five of them ceased to breathe on the 18th
day of October. The name of the head OF the

be prevailed TO stay either in the house or on
the premises on either day or night on the
14th of October.
