The citizens of East Front street are
complaining about the garbage contrac-
tors. They say they have not collected
refuse from several buckets for the past
two weeks. The stencil has been unbear
able during the recent hot spell and they
think that the Board of Health should
look into the matter aud thus prevent
any disease injecting that portion of the
city and possibly the entire town.

4 RELIGIOUS CUSTOM.
sacred Feathers Among the Indians OF
the Southwest.

Sacred Feathers Among the Indians of
the Southwest.
Feathers figure very prominently in
the religious customs Of most abor-
igines and remarkably so in the
Southwest Among Navajos and Pu-
ebIos alike these plume symbols are OF
the utmost efficacy for good or bad.
They are part Of almost every cere-
monial Of the Infinite superstitions Of
these tribes. Any white or bright
hued plume is of good omen good
medicine as the Indian would put il
The gay feathers OF the parrot are par
ticularly valuable. and some dances
cannot be held without them though
the Indians have to travel hundreds
OF miles into Mexico to get them. A
peacock is harder to keep in the vi
cinity OF Indians than the finest horse
those brilliant plumes are too
tempting.
Eagle feathers are OF sovereign
value says St. Nicholas; and ia most
OF the puebloS great dark. captive
eagles are kept to furnish the coveted
articles for mos: important occasions
If the bird OF freedom were suddenly
extermiuated now. the whole Indian
economy would come to a standstilL
No witches could be exercised, nor
sickness cured nor much OF anything
else accomplished.
Dark feathers. and those in particu-
lar OF the owl buzzard. woodpeckcE
and raven. are unspeakaoly accursed.
No one will touch them except those
who have the evil road. that Is.
are witches and any Indian found
with them in his or her possession
would be officially tried and officially
put TO death! Such feathers are used
only in secret BY those who wish to
kill or harm an enemy. in whose path
they arc laid with wicked wishes that
ill-fortune may follow.
