The dry weather is beginning to remind
people in Madison of the great and grow
ing necessity of system of water works
for this village. 1t is probable that the
village will never have an opportunity to
obtain this much needed improvement on
so reasonable terms as now offered. A
meeting of the citizens should be called,
without further delay, to take measures
for securing property, buildings old and
new, from the constantly growing risks of
destruction by fire. Also to obtain the
great and much needed advantages of
good water supply for all purposes. This
very important mat tier should not be al.

The Indian Green-Corn Dance.

The great religious service of the year
is known as the "buskin season, " or green.
corn dance Not an Indian eats grain
of corn until after the celebration. The
men prepare for this by system of puri-
fication, eating of bitter herbs and taking
medicines This sometimes makes them
very sick, but it is always rigidly adhered
to. On a certain appointed day all the
tribe gather together in one place, and a
sacrifice of nksgiving is offered to the
Great Father in the burning of fish, the
heart of deer, and an ear of corn. Then
the dance begins. There are separate
dances for the men and the women, and
another dance is participated in by all.
In this last dance the inner circle is for
the women, the next for the men. and the
outer one for the strangers. These lines
are strictly watched, and any unwary
stranger, who, in his curiosity, oversteps
his line, is Immediately besieged until he
pays 81 or an equivalent. The dance is
kept up during the entire day. and at
night, tired and happy. all return TO their
homes

There were other vehicles on one side Of

the other. The girls could not turn out.
the driver of the streetsprinkler did not
shut off the water, and the consequence
was that the girls dresses were thoroughly

stating he saw Anderson there last winter.

respondence, wrote directly 70 her son at

Several nights recently peculiar noises
were heard at various places ia Perry near
residences after the people bad gone TO bed
Negroes were the first to report having
heard the strange noises, and they at once
declared that a wild beast was abroad.
They finally decided it was a bear, and
Have you seen the beari" became a com-
mon greeting. No one saw the thing dis
tinotly, though many beard the noise As
no damage was done 10 anything, and no
signs of bear were discovered, it was de-
cided that some person had been masquer-
aiding for his own amusement This
decision was followed by threats Of shooting
and the "bear" doubtless decided that he
had enough, as the nocturnal bowls have
ceased to disturb the midnight slumbers Of
the people.

until the building was completely destroyed.
