saw moving mass of old boards about
two feet in thickness going along the road.
A sQuaw was under the boards--the pro-

load. These are not red Indians;y they are
black
What black nature leaves out they make
up in dirt. When friend dies they rouge
their faces with tar and ashes. This pious
symbol of grief they leave to wear of. A
man who could kiss squaw in mourning
could do anything. The Walla is inde-
pendent of the United States government.
He pays no taxes, sends no letters, wants
no education, and never heard of the "Great
Father" at Washington. When the acorns
are ripe he pounds them to flour, and for
the rest lives on what he can pick up. He
can eat raw cricket and relish it. could
tell of other things he eats, but will hold
my peace. If there is any sentiment at

The nearer you get to this kind of Indian
the farther off seems the sentiment. But
he can make basket which will hold
water, and in which he boils his acorn -four
to an astringent mush.

hooks it to her back and goes forth to
labor. The baby SO arranged looks like a

When she is gathering the fall acorn crop

Everybody here goes to bed at o'clock

creatures revel in song, hoot and howl all
night. We breakfast at 6o'clock a. m. A
mountain man is usually good hunter, a
good carpenter, a good axman, good
miner, a bit of farmer, fair cook, a
teamster-indeed handy at all work ex-
cept dressing up. That he rarely does.

CARPET FACTORY BURNED.
A Big Fire at the Fails of the SchuyI-
kill.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. H.-Fire
broke out at 1890 last night in the car
pei mill of John and James Dobson at
the Falls of Schuylkill, a suburb of this
city. The carpet mill is located right in
the center of a group of six mill build
ings, each from five to seven stories
high, comprising one of the largest es-
adjustments of its kind in the United
States. At this hour 1 A. NJ reports
by telephone say that the large mill has
burned to the ground, and that two 9th
er mills are on fire. People living near
the scene are moving their furniture,
and Dobsons' employees are carrying
goods from the other mills. The loss
will be very heavy, being estimated at
least 100000.
1:3O A. M.-The six-story carpet and
plush mill is completely destroyed, as is
also the wool storage warehouse and
Brussels carpet mill. The fire is still
burning fercely, but is thought TO be
under control.
At an early hour this morning the fire
was still raging, but was confined to the
carpet mill. The loss will probably be
$500, 900 or 100000. The buildings de-
stroyed were those known as the main
building, six-story structure of stone,
containing the satin, spinning, combing,
ingram and printing departments; a
secondary building, four stories high,
containing the motive machinery, the
weaving department, the offices of the
firm, and several outlying small build

A New York Banker Arrested for Lottery
Work.
Edward III. Horner, a banker at So
Wall Street, New York, was arrested on
the 18th under bench warrant issued
on the strength of seven indictments
which have been found against him in
Springfield, ILL.,, charging him with vio-
lating the provisions of the new lottery
law passed by Congress in Septembe
last. Inspector Conrad said that Mr..
Horner is the chief agent in this city of
the various indemnity bonds OF Austria,
Hungary and other foreign countries,
which bonds, he says, are lottery GER
tifcates, the succesN of the holders of
them relying upon drawing from wheel.
Over S100,0O0,00 are collected yearly
for these so-cailed bonds, it is said, and
the whole of it is controlled by Horner
The latter, according to the statement or
the inspectors, acknowledged that he is
interested in the various schemes to the
amount of $500, O00 and that his yearly
expenses exceed $125,000. He main

,some-o of the lower animals, but it failed.
The surgeon in charge announced to
Dickerson's anxious brethren that, if
human skin could be obtained, it
would in all probability save the
patients life and insure his
complete recovery. The question was
where to obtain sufficient skin to cover
the surface. The matter was preached
in the commandery, and, to a man, the
Knights offered to submit themselves to
the necessary operation. Those selected
by the surgeons have had to go through
sort OF training, being dieted, ETC., for
several days past. They were particu-
larly admonished to refrain from any
alcoholic stimulaut. This morning each
man took bath and then repaired to
the Emergency Hospital, where the
operation was performed.
Nearly 100 Knights had each small
strip of skin removed from his arm or
leg to be transplanted to Dickerson's
hip. While the surgeons and others
who we're present refused to talk about
the details of the operation. it has been
learned that nearly all the Knights went
through it without finching. Five or
removed, but were quickly resusci-
tated. The surgeons worked hard
for three hours anG were themselves
pretty we'll tired out when through.
While they will make no positive state
ment as to the result of the operation,
it is evidently their opinion that it will
be entirely successful. The Knights
who offered Themselves up to the sur
geon's knives will experience but little
inconvenience from the slight wounds
inflicted upon them
