Hollowell l. Coburn, Of Boston, favor
THE LEADER with the following on the
wool market, under the date of May 25:
There has been a steady market for ter
ritory wocls and the sales of the week
have been to a good extent. amounting to
800, 400 lbs. There have been receipts Of
Utah wool Turing the week and sales of
these to the extent of $4,000 lbs are re-

about Coo per ID. Small lots Of new Wy
oming woods have also been sold at SOFA

THAT TIRED FEELING.
Bill Friday. the krspahOe, Bowed
Down With Grief. {.
He Made a Fruitless Journey to the
Pacific Coast.
The Wind River Indians Losing
Faith in-the Prophecy.

iSBill Friday, an Arapahoe war chief,
has returned to the Wind River reserva-
ton. after an absence of several months,
bowed down with that tired feeling"
According to the Mountdipeer his mys-
FERROUS disappearance from his usual
hauntS for such a length Of time gave
rise to quite a lot of comment, but the
mystery is cleared up-poOr Bill has been
on a wild gooese chase, and now he is
cursing himself in the purest Ara
pahoe and mutilated Anglo Saxon
for being such a fool. The ex
pected spirit was coming from the west
and Bill went to welcome him when he
touched land on Ie Pacific coast and
guide him across the country, as, being a
stranger, the spirit was not supposed to
know anything about the trails. Bill 8 in
structions were to go to a certain rock
overlooking the Pacific, and having got
there to sit down on it. After a short
time the rock would speak to him and a
spirit would put in an appearance. Bill
reached the rock, sat down and waited
patiently. but it was no go. The rock wts
as dumb as an oyster and the only sound
he could hear was the roar of the surf as
it rolled and beat against the coast. The
spirit must have had some other business
on hand or failed to make connections; so
there was poor Bill a thousand miles
from home and not a bit wiser than when
he started. What his thoughts were, only
he knows himself, but he must have felt
inclined to kick himself. and been very
anxious to kick the prophet for the awful
scrape he had got him into. So Bill re-
turned home a sadder butts wiser man,
and his failure was a serious blow to the
Indian belief m'the coming leader. The
last shred of credence in the prophecy
was scattered to the four winds when the
chief Deter, a popular Shoshone, died.
All the dead and gone Indians were to be
restored to life, according to the prophet,
and in the place ofthat not only were OIL
binary squaws and papooses paying the
debt of mature, but even their chiefs were
shutting off this mortal coil, in the same
old fashion that has Obtained since the
days of Adam"
The prophecy was in effect that the
Messiah would lead the indians far up in
the mountains and then food the plains
and valleys. When the waters receded the
game and all Indians WHO had died siucsl he
creation would be resurrectel. The story
was started a year or more ago by a medi-
cine man and built upon by designing
whites. The excitement has about Sub
slde1 and the dances have ceased.

The archaic room in the British mu-
scum is now approaching completion.
On the west side of the gallery stands
the harry tomb, formerly on the Aero
polls of Xanthos in Lycia. The harpies
are seen sculptured in bas relief, carry
ing off the souls of the daughters of Pan
dareos, a Lycian hero: On the north and
south walls of the room are arranged the
casts of the pedimental groups from the
temple of Athene, in Egina. The orig

La the time of the Indian war, about
1878, the church at New Milford, Conn,
was in charge of Parson Boardman. 1t
is not with the good parson, however,
that this story has to do, but with the
parsons wife.
a general alarm mad seized upon the
community, and the people were flock
ing to the fort for security. A man was
sent to the parsonage to warn Madam
Boardman of the danger from a hostile
attack, and to help her and the children
to escape. He was excited, and natur-
ally urged immediate haste.
To this the quiet woman calmly re-
piled that she would be ready to start
"as soon as she had knit into the scam

which is going about of an American

take her afterward to a well known
studio. But the Dear Warehouses"

Laving a Corner Stone on the Shoshone
Reservation.

Correspondence Lander Clipper.1
An event took place in this country
yesterday Of great interest to the many
spectators present. 1t was the dedication
OF the corner stone of the Episcopal mis-
sion school, or as the bishop explained it
IN his usual happy style to the Indians
present, the Medicine Stone of the
building. The ceremony, which was
very impressive. was performed by Bishop
Talbot, assisted by Revs. Roberts and
Coolidge, OF the Protestant Episcopal
church. Arranged around in a semi
circle az spectators, deeply interested,
nearest to the corner stone, were the pu-
pills OF the Indian government school,
boys and girls of both tribes, Shoshones
and Arapahoes. Near these stood the
majestic form Of Washable, the old white
haired Chief of the Shoshones, whose
proud boast is that he always was. and is,
the friend OF the whites. This old man
is over so years old but is still as upright
in his walk and looks at you with as pierre
ing regard as though years had had no eff
feet on him. Surrounding him were a
number of Shostones dressed in their
picturesque attire and all giving the clos
est attention to the ceremony and the ad-
dress following it from Bishop Talbot,
The Shoshone interpreter, Norkok. also
the Arapahoe Interpreter, Henry Reed,
were both there to translate the address
of the bishop to their respective tribes
in their own language. The bishop made
a special talk to the Indians of both
tribes in regard to the use and benefits to
them, of the school building. and ex-
planned very closely that this was for
them, and their children forever. and an
evidence of the love of the White
Robes" to them.
Chief Washable donated a large tract
of land about one mile west of the agency
for the use of hi school.

Now, strange as it may seem, smiling
is something totally against the rules.
No man ever dreams of smiling at any
thing, no matter how l%udicrous, when he
has been in the West Point academy a
few weeks. The face is required to have
a stony, expressionless stare, the eyes
fixed as if in a trance, gazing on futurity.

rigidly, the body straight, and this is the
attitude of attention" which is ex-

Love OF my heart, with the apple to follow;
Over the village at nightfaI now

AwAkes the chorus that sings old sorrow;
