still The unknown began &c noId IT'S Own,
and at the half was tapping a neck, but there
wasn't any more cheering. AT the three
quarter post Prairie Flower had not only lost
her pace, she was plainly In distress The
unknown finished by six good lengths ahead
Had Prairie Flower been owned in any other
country than the Indian territory, and had
any other people than Indians been backing
her, there would have been trouble right
away on that race track. The swindle was
barefaced The mare had been drugged
But the Indians had been so often swindled
by white men that they allowed the sports to
ride away without even making protest
They were afraid to say anything.
But, although they lost their money, they
were not wholly without revenge. There
arose very soon after the race an inquiry for
Sully Sully had not been seen about tho
track since he turned the mare over to her
jockey, young Peery Runners started In
every direction to search for him Among
them was Jim Charley, Jr., with party Of a
dozen. They went down past Charley's
house, and began a search up and down the
West River bank. They were joined by
others. All night long they prowled through
the timber without success. At daylight
they crossed over. Within fifteen minutes
they had found trail where Sully, who had
entered and left the water without betraying
himself, had returned during the night for a
drink Instead Of flying under cover of
darkness for the Missouri line he had hoped
to hide in the brush till the search was over.
His thirst had betrayed him. Once on the
trail. Jim Charley and his band followed
straight to thicket near the brow Of a cliff
on the north side of Warren creek. There
they flushed their game. Sully was seen fly
ing through thicket. "A bullet from Jim
Charley's rife struck him In the back as he
started down the PERCEPTIONS bank, away he
went headlong, plunging and tumbling from
rock to rock and ledge to ledge, until his body
lodged against the old stump which pointed
out to the wayfarer bound along the trail
there to the old Spanish mines.
He was dead before his body reached the
stump. The Indians dug grave beside the
old stump, just out Of the trail, tumbled the
body into it and piled on the dirt Where
the dead man came from, or whether he had
any relatives or friends elsewhere nobody
knows, and, except for such passing interest
as the wayfarer may feel, nobody cares

Fans for Moving Vehicles.

A fan for cars and other moving vehicles is
a most admirable invention. To one of the
wheels of the vehicle pulley is attached by
a belt to a vertical shaft, having suitable
bearings on one end of the car, adapted to be
clutched and unclutched from another shaft
extending the length Of the car. The fan
shafts are across the car, and are operated
by belts or cords from the first, keeping fans
along the top of the car in vigorous motion,
causing a constant circulation of air.-New

CoLoRED PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.
In certain fine old family house in Mis-
souri, the family ghost appears only in the
mirror Of a certain room The reflection is
that Of young woman with silvery white
hair streaming down either side her beautiful
early part of this century. An enticing Vir,
ginia story is that of pair Of scissors held
in a shadowy hand, shipping, shipping papers,
clothes, even the hair upon the heads of the
inmates Of the house, and which very proba-
bly, considerably stood on end for the con.
venience of this mysterious barber. In the
same mansion a woman dressed In scarlet Is
seen shaking a white cloth from a garnet

Negroes believe implicitly in ghosts or
spirits They are not afraid of them, accept

illiterate negro ghost is in the nature of a
religious experience. Any old colored
nanny can give dozen such personal ex-
periences, but the writer Of tales of mystery
must go higher than this for his sources of
information. Children are brought up to
have a horror Of ghosts; that is, they are
taught to believe in them. Children and
wonderland men as well, for the matter of
that-cannot be better taught than that the
only use for ghost story is to while away
an idle hour, and to give an amusement,
mingled with fictitious fear, which we thus
willingly nurse to keep it warm.-New Or.

days and of the good behavior of
school children in general. He told f
the many whippings received in the

they were nearly all attendants on our
public schools. This shows the great
progress in our public school system
