Feather, of the Absarukis.
The method of capturing the bird
among the Absarukis an d Blackfeet
of the Northwest is most ingenious
and curious. In fact, there are two
styles OF hunting eagles. The first
thing, Of course, is to hold an
eagle dance. An Indian cannot
do anything without first dancing
for it, and as an eagle is an
exceedingly hard and difficult bird
to capture, the dance in consequence
must be all the harder and more
protracted. AS rule, the nomads
OF the Northwest still cling to the
antiquated, antedated bow and arrow
and as their quarry scars very high
among the mountain peaks, forever
on the watch and keeping away
from danger, it is very difficult
matter indeed, even with a fine
sigted rifle and quick trigger, to
bring down one of these high flying
American birds. Yet the Crows
capture them almost easily with their
simple arrows, where a white man,
amed with the best of modern breech
leaders, would fail to score nine trials
out of ten. Crawling carefully like
snake among the rocks, an
Indian will work his way high above
the eyries, when it is a very easy
matter to send an arrow flying down
ward, and usually with skilltul result.
The second method practlced by the
Absaruki tribe to secure the much
coveted birds is to build an eagle trap.
The brave who is after plunder goes
off by himself to the Big Horn Noun
tains, CLIMBS upward until he arrives in
the perpetual snow district and select
ing favorable spot digs pit large
enough to snugly conceal his person
within. After vast deal of careful
preparation, one item Of which is to
carry the loose earth away IN a blanket
and cast it to the wind, the still hunter
arranges covering for his trap, con-
sisling of light reeds and grasses, and
then proceeds to ensconce himself in
lthe pit. The bait is slice Of tough
meat-besS or mountain goat-frmly
attached with sinews TO pics-s p5irIcs Of raw
hide, and this is laid outside on the
trap to await customer. Just at dawn
of day, when the sun is coming up oyer
the Eastern peaks, the eagles who all
night long have smelt the savory morsel
swoop vlclously down upon the rawhide
and bear meat, which they proceed
vigorously to tear with their talons and
beaks. Meanwhile, the buck inside,
watching his opportunity, reaches up
through an interstice in the trap, and
seizing the Zig fellow firmly by one of
his legs quick as wink drags the sur.
prised bird Of liberty down into the
prison below.
The fun would not now be all one
side had the eagle even a flash of a
second to recover himself ID but the
Indian, the moment his victims neck
is within reach, with one sharp, quick,
wicked swipe of his long, keen hunting
knife sewers the head from the body,
and so the matter ends. The warrior
then returns to his lodge and proceeds
to relate to his friends and relations
the wonderful exploits of his trip, of
which he is the solo hero and big, high
muck a. muck.

and Rocky Mountain chain. He is
also found in the Big Horn Noun
tains and here it is the Crow Indians
go in search of his plumage, which,
to them, is the ne plus ultra of
decoration and deligh'. His natural
home, however, is amid the solitudes
and recesses of the great Yellow
stone National Park
Tourists have found him out, and
now ordinary morta,s traversing the
sublime and lofty walls Of the
majestic, Grand Canyon of the Vel
lowstone can see far below them
perched on pinnacles and towers of
wondrous beauty the great American
eagle in his true home. For years
this region of fire aud geysers has
been Stunned by the red man, and
only of late has it become known to
the white race.

Driven from solitude 10 solitude
by the encroachments of civilization,
this wary bird sought out the most
inaccessible and remote portion Of
the Northwest amidst the solemn
grandeur and lonely wilds of the
Grand Canyon, but at last even
there he has been discovered and
followed by enterprising mankind.
After stunning humanity and hunt
ing security amid the utmost recesses
OF the Park, advancement and civil
ization have sought the eagle out,
and now he must seek a home else

From the Falls Hotel to ms pira-
ton Point, some three miles, more
or less, narrow bride path leads
along the crest OF the basaltic walls
which overhang the great canyon.
Creep to the edge and peep over
and you can see the young eaglets
IN the home nest, while lowering
near above are the ever watchtul
parent birds One could easily cast
a stone into the midst of these rocky
fortresses and thus destroy a happy
family, but for the sake of national
pride let us hope that no narrow
minded mortal would conmit such
base sacrileee on the emblem of our
country.

Third Party Seed Beginning to Bear
Fruit.

Third Party Seed Beginning to Bear
Fruit
COLUMBIA, S. c., April 19.-The first
break toward third partyism in this state
was made yesterday by the Winnsboro
county alliance. After the business meet
ing caucus of the leaders was held to dis
cuss the political situation. After two
hours elaboration the following significant
resolutions were adopted, with only four
dissenting votes:
/. That it is the sense OF this meeting, in case
of nominations for the presidency of the United
the free coinage of silver and other measures,
such as an immediate reduction of the tariff to
as low an extent as will be possible under the
present conditons-in that case 1t is not to be
expected of our people to supporC the demo-
cratic national and congressional nominations.
2. That it is not considered necessary or Eek
pedient TO organize a third party county or
ganiZation until after the result OF the demo
cratic national nomination is Known.
8. That meantime, until the result of the
democratic national convention is known, it is
right and proper for our people to remain and
participate as heretofore in our local democratic
clubs.
g. That it is the sense of this meeting that the
delegates to be elected to the state convention
by the county convention should be instructed to
vote for no one a delegate to the demo-
cratic national convention who Is opposed to
the Ocala demands.
the third party seed sprouting here and
the utterances of the leaders have been
guarded and qualified. The president of
the Edgeheld alliance, the home of Gov.
Tillman, was heard to say that II the Demo-
cratic party did not yield to their demands
in the coming election the South Carolina
alliancemen would find relief elsewhere.

LIVINGsToN,s WAR.
The Alliance Executive Committee
Against the Third PARTY.

The Alliance Executive Committee
Against the Third PARTY.
ATLANTA, GA, April 49, - President
Livinston and the executive committee of
the state alliance struck the third party a
blow at meeting held at the Kimball
house tonight The suballiances of the
stats which Endorsed the third party must
rescind their action or give up their charters,
The Southern Alliance Farmer must
abandon its third party policy, or
the alliance will officially abandon
the paper. Alliance lecturers are
TO be put in the field to preach alliance
doctrine and eradicate the third party doc
trine that is being sown among the mem
bers of the order. To-days meeting at
Douglasvile awoke President Livingston
and other democratic leaders to the danger
Of the situation, and the executive COM
mittee was called together to beat the third
party movement, 30 far as the alliance is
concerned. The following resolution was
the result Of the meeting, which lasted
until midnight:
The executive committee of the Georgia state
alliance do adopt the following preamble and
resolution:
WHEREAS, The following action has been
taken by the supreme council Of the national
alliance, TO wit mo alliance can in any way
pledge or dictate by a vote thereof how its in
dividual members shall vote, neither can it de-
clare ltSelL III hllAldLlOn WIFI pOllLlCdl party
therefore
RESOLVED, That we respectfully urge upon all
the suballiances and all the county alliances in
Georgia that have passed resolutions commit
ting themselves to any political party whatever
to rescind such action and thereby place them
selves in the true position of loyal alliancemen,
as indicated by the above quoted action of the
supreme council
That the president appoint lecturers for the
state alliances, and he be instructed not to make
partisan speeches in ALLIANCES meetings or in
conversation with the brethren of the order
while acting as lecturer.
That the Southern alliance Farmer and the
press of Georgia be requested TO publish these
resolutions.
Col Livingston, Senator Ellington and Mr..
Calvin, the subcommittee in charge of the
policy of the Southern Alliance Farmer,
also held a short meeting. Editor Erwin
was summoned to show why he had used
the paper in the interest of the third party.
Either Mr.. Erwin will have to assume all
the responsibility for the paper stripped Of
its alliance indorsemant, or he will be COM
PEELED to change its political policy. II he
declines to do this he will be succeeded
by another editor, who will run
the paper to suit the alliance views of
Col. Livingston and Mr. Calvin, who OPP
pose third party and compose majority
OF the committee Of control. If Mr.. Erwin
is succeeded Mr.. Calvin will be made editor.
The committee has not yet finished its in-
vestigation. Another meeting will be held
tomorrow morning, when the future OF the
Alliance Farmer will be determined.

The House Considers the Appropria
ton Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Bailey called up the bill to
grant a right of way through the Indian
Territory to the Gainesville, Oklahoma and
Gulf Railroad Company. The point of no
quorum was made. Mr.. Bailey demanded
the yeas and nays. The roll call resulted :
Y cas-, 1856; nays, S-no quorum, and a call
OF the House was ordered.
One hundred and ninety-four members
responded to their names and, further pro-
ceedings having been dispensed with, the
bill was passed. But, If the time of the
House is valuable, an hour and a half of
valuable time was consumed before this end
was accomplished. There was no OPPOSE
ton to the bill, but members whose meas
ures have suffered from Mr. Bailey's stand,
that quorum should be present to transact
business, saw an opportunity to give him
some Of his own medicine.
MONEY FOR THE NAVY.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation bill,
the pending question being the point of orr
der raised against the clause appropriating
S25O,00 toward the construction of a dry
dock at Algiers, La. The point of order
was sustained, and the item was stricken
out of the bill.
On motion Of Mr. Herbert, an amend
ment was adopted changing the title "bu-
reau OF provisions and clothing" to bureau
of supplies ana accounts"
There was no obstruction to the easy
progress of the bill until the item for an
increase of the navy was reached. Then
Mr.. Holman raised point of order against
the clause authorizing the President TO have
constructed, by contract. one armored
cruiser of about s 900 tons displacement Of
the general type of the New York, to cost,

The Possible Complications which Keep

WASHINGTON, Sep. 26-Reports from,
the White House say that Mrs. Harrison
passed a somewhat restless night but is
apparently no worse this morning.
Practically there has been little change
in her condition since she came here, and
what there is would seem TO imply rather
favorable symptoms than otherwise. So
far as can be learned no serious change is
anticipated just at present So long as
she take as much nourishment as at pres
ent she can Withstand the progress of the
ordinary advance of the disease. 1t is
the complications likely to arise at any
moment that now keep her family anx-
ious.
Disquieting rumors as to Mrs Harri-
sons condition get about every day and
at once manifest themselves by the mes
sages of inquiry at the White House.
Yesterday to all comers the family gave
encouraging statements. Dr. Gardner
makes an early morning and late even
ing call now. He had reassuring answers
to give those who asked about his patient
this morning.
Mrs. Harrison has shown a decided
craving for food the last two days and
has been permitted to eat ju st abou
anything she called for She has had
also, up to last night, a great deal oi
| sleep.

THE COMING TRIALS.

tits quite probable that the cases of
the County Commissioners and others
connected with the indictments
recently handed down by the Grand
Jury will be ready for trial in Novem-
her. The cases are exciting much
interest and we are sorry to see that
some people have taken the indict-
ments as the result of a trial and
conviction of the accused. People
who re laboing under this impress
sion should rid their minds of it. The
proceedings before a grand jury are of
an er pdrte character. The indict-
ments are not based upon a hearing
of both sides Of the story, but upon
state of facts as presented by the
Commonwealth, hence the County
Commissioners should not be adjudged
guilty at the present time. When the
cases are tried, both sides are heard,
and all the facts are laid before jury
the Commissioners may succeed in
showing the people Of the county that
they are not as black as painted. We
hope they will. Messrs. Bowes, De-
Turk, Reed and Meyer have hereto
fore enjoyed regulations which have
been considered above reproach and
we have reason to believe that to-day,
Notwithstanding the indictments, the
people who believe that any missteps
they may have made were preceded
by illegal money transactions are very
few. There is general hope that the
Commissioners, for their own sake eand
for the preservation of Schuylkill'f
honored name, will be able to show
that they were not guilty Of any crime
or misdemeanor. At all event, wait
until the trials Of the accused are
ended before passing judgment.
