INDIAN TRIBAL SHOES.
Each Tribe Has a Moccasin Peculiar to
Itself

A writer in the Galveston Meas
quotes an authority on Indian customs
as follows in respect to moccasins;
"Moccasins are different with every
tribe. 1t is the last thing an Indian
gives up as he travels toward Civilza-
ton, and the first thing adopted by
the whites. The Crows make their
moCCasins of one piece, severed at the
heel. The BannoCks and Snakes and
Shoshones the same, except that they
like the Apaches, have anklets to pro-
tect them against the Cabots. The
BaCkfeet make them with anklet and
long tongue. Anklets, frequently of
colored cloth, horse; haired and beaded,
three prongs from the apex, run fan
shaped to the toes, marking this tribe,
and each prong represents band

BONES, very similar, usually a rawhide
sole is sewed on. The Comanche is
composed from a sole rawhide, cut as
near the shape of the bottom of the
foot as possible, tapering gradually
from its greatest width at the little toe
to a point at the large toe, ringed with
buckskin string and tipped with horns
of German silver, cut low at the sides,
with turn down flaps sewed to the sole

THE WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.

From the time of the John Brown
raid" the women of the South were in
terested painfully and deeply in the
political excitement which was surging
over the country.
Far outnumbered as our people in
the planting districts were by the
negro population, and dwelling on $50.
lated plantations with two white men
to 100 or 200 negroes, the necessity OF
keeping abolition tracts out OF the
negroes hands was imperative. How

lists, was the hard problem presented
to the people of the South
There we're many newspapers and
political magazines taken in almost
every Southern household, and the men,
anxious and absorbed in the progress
of events, read them to and with the
women of the family, and both at
tempted to arrive at an independent
Judgment and understanding of our
rights under the Constitution, the in
fraction of them, also the dangers to
which the women of the South would
be exposed in case of war, and all
shrank, while they could not escape
from their gruesome conclusions.
Many women thought there would
be no war, because they believed in the
sacredness of the Constitution, that to
the people of the South was an ark OF
the covenant which to touch would be
sacriege. Others noted the depression
of their husbands and heard signs and
warnings from the head of the house
which filled them with the most dread
full forebodings.
The women of the South did not
shrink from the prospect of great and
painful economies. They also appre
ciated that their own patriotic duty was
as cheerfully as possible to bid farewell
to the men of their family who must go
to the 'front.' perhaps never to return.
They did shrink, however, affrighted
from the prospect of being left alone
with a multitude of ignorant negroes
who might be instigated to rebellion
without physicians to attend their
children or priests to attend them if
they died. These horrors oppressed
them.
Many woman, buckling on her
husbands sword, asked him to show
her how to shoot and load a pistol,
adding, "Not that | am afraid of any
thing, but in case of need" Her next
problem was how to handle that pistol,
which was an object of almost as great
dread as would be the foe it was to re-
pei.
All Southern women acknowledge
with pride the good conduct of the
rank and file of negroes on the break
ing out of the war. They generally
remained true to the families left in
their charge and protected the women
and children to the best of their ability.
In short, their course was a powerful
testimonial to the lifelong, kind and
Just exercise of their masters power
over them.

A CIPHER TELEGRAM

Capt. Picking and Looked Upon ms
Significant. Indicating that the Powers
Have Tired of the Hindcrance to Trade
at Rio Janeiro and Propose to Fut q stop

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-A cipher
telegram received by the navy depart
ment last evening from Capt. Picking.
under Yesterdays date. from Rio de
Janeiro, is looked upon as significant
and possibly indicating a weakening
OF the strength of the iusurgent fleet
under Admiral Mello. The translation
was as follows:
Naval representatives OF eight nations. in
Guiding our nation. have decided not 10 per-
nit munitions OF war 10 be landed ut Rio.
Santos being still in possession OF the r':ekil-
ian government and connected with Rio do
Janeiro by railway. munitions ~ war can he
landed at Santos Yesterday the insurgents
dressed ship. The Brazilian government forts
fired n national salute in honor OF the estaO-
lshment of the republic.
The only Interpretation to be put
upon this dispatch is that the naval
representatives at Rio have decided
that there shall he no Interference
with commerce and have formally noti-
fed the insurgent admiral they will
prevent ii. The probabilities are. and
this is the view taken by government
officials here. that this action wealsens
Mello very much. for if he cannot close
the ports of Rio and bring the city

tured how he can make his rebellion

1t appears that Il studied effort has

Loan Association Premiums.

Judge Thomas has filed suit in the
circuit court at Moberly involving q
question of great public interest.
The suit is brought on behalf of this judges
daughter and son-in law. Mr.. and Mrs. J. ".
Evens against the Phoenix Loan association
ana Mrs. c. G. Hiatt. OF st. Joseph. and Mr..
Valentine Riegel OF Moberly. The petition
seeks to set aside two deeds of trust given by
Mr.. and Mrs. EvenS on their home to secure
loan OF s2.7j0. The petition alleges that the
loan was Illegal. fraudulent and oppressive.
and il the court grants relief on the ground set
up therein and its action is confirmed by the
supreme court the suit will, in great
measure, render Illegal the most of the
loans made Ivy building and loan associations
In Missouri The petition claims: That the
Phoenix Loan association had no right to Tx
arbitrarily the premium ut % cents per share
of stock per month as it did in this case but
that the premium can te fixed only by fair bid
ding in open meeting OF the shareholders; that
the company pretended to charge but per
cent for loans. when in fact it charged % per
cent; that ii adopted its methods simply to
avoid the usury laws; that the company does an
Illegal business In discriminating against bor
rowers by requiring them to pay 80 cents per
month per share for dues, 30 scents per month
per share for interest, and 80 cents per share
per month for premium, whereas nOa-borrow
cES pay onIy oJ cents p5r snare per mOhtn HS
dues thus making the borrower, to mature his
loan, not only pay 80 cents per month per share
as dues and 81 cents per month per share as In
terest, which ought 10 put him on an equality
with non borrower. but it makes him pay also
6o cents per month per share by way OF premi-
um, and then lets the noa-borrower share in
the profits arising from this premium without
contributing anything to the fund to which it
goes; that the company borrowc the money to
loan plaintiffs, it being claimed that a build
ing and loan association has no authority under
the law to borrow money TO make loans.
judge Thomas intends in this suit to test the
consiitutionality Of section 2Sli OF the Missouri
Revised Statutes OF 1889, which allows building
and loan associations to charge usurious rates
OF interest. He thinks TINS section rnconstitu-
tional because 1t confers on these associations
privileges not granted TO banking and other
corporations and to individuals.

A GENERAL strike on the entire sys-

ordered at 10 o'clock on the night of

road ensued, nothing but mail trains
