IRE n. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET

IRL IL. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET
The following taken from the "Storm
chart" for 1891 OF Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
JANUARY.
The cold prevailing In most parts at
the end of 1890 will begin to moderate
In the west about Jan. I'd, and during
the Sd and 4th the warmer tempera-
ture will travel to the east, resulting
in rea:tionary gusts of rain aud snow.
The Sd is the central day. Cold will
follow the storms. A warm wave
will start about the 9th, attended by
thawing, and ending in energetic rain,
snow, and wind storms about the 9th,
10th, 11th. Be watchful of cold to
follow up to change Of temperature,
about 18th and 18th, with more falling
weather on those days. The 10th is
the center of the next period. Expect
the cold to begin moderating in the
west about the 10Th, gathering up rain
and snow storms toward the east dur
ing Goth, 2lst, 22d. The regular rush
of cold will prss the rear of these
storms, calling for care in exposed
places. The 18th is the center of re-
taxation movements, which will touch
the 18th and 9th in their course from
west to east. The month will end
with active storms brewing.

An Indian ON the erase.
Ch,caRo Tribune,

Ouapaw Mission, Il. T., Dec. e.
Editor of the Tribune. You say :
S'If the United States army would kill
q thousand or 90 Of the dancing In.
dams there would be no more trouble )"
I Judge by the above language you
are q t" Christian" and are disposed to
do all in your power to advance the
cause of Christ. You are doubt
less q worshiper of the white mans
Savior, but are unwilling that the In
dians should have messiah" Of their
own. The Indians have never taken
kindly to the Christian religion as
preached and practiced by the whites.
DO you know why this is the case ?
Because the Good Father of all has
given rs better Religions religion
that Is all good aud no bad, a religion
that is adapted TO our wants. You
say, If we are good, obey the ten COM
ms ndments and never sin any more
we may be permitted eventually TO sit
upon white rock aud sing praises 10
Go forevermore aud look down upon
our heather fathers, mothers, brothers,
and sisters who are bowling in He'll.
1t won't do. The code of morals as
practiced by the whites will not com
pare with the morals of the Indians.
We pay no lawyers or preachers, but
we have not one-tenth part OF the
crime that you do. II our Messiah
does come we shall not try to force
you into our belief. We will never
burn innocent women at the stake or
pull men to pieces with horses because
they refuse to join In our ghost dances.
You white people had Messiah, and
if his story is to be believed nearly
every nation has had one. You had
twelve apostles; we have only eleven,
aud some of them are already in the
military guard house. We also had
u Virgin Mary and she is in the guard
house. You are anxious to get hold
Of our Messiah 80 you can put him in
irons. This you may do-in fact you
may cruelty him as you did that other
one, but you cannot convert the In.
dams to the Christian religion until
you contaminate them with the blood
Of the white man. The white man's
Heaven is repulsive to the Indian
nature and if the white mans Hell
suits you, why you keep it. / think
there will be white rogues enough to
fill Ii.
Hoping that our Messiah will come
soon and prove all that his prophets
have proclaimed him, / remain your
most obedient, sE-HEDJo, or

other alternative and resistance being
useless, Mr.. COuley 0beyed the order.
He was next told to open the safe and
money drawer which he did. COnley
was then told to throw IN his hands aud
turn bis face to the wall. One Of the
men kept him covered while the other
robbed the till and the safe. They
took every cent Of money In sight.
Agent. Baker said the amount will be
something like 500, and may reach
$3.50. They also took "a from COnley.
Just as the men were leaving tho Of.
fee little George Lewis, one Of the
assistants. opened the door, but seeing
the men started back. He was per-
