of the little cubes of mud, the abode houses of a sun-kissed cline. A shot was fired, and there emerged from one of the low buildings a string of as peculiarly-garbed men as one might see in years travel through foreign countries. They came tripping out in single file, about twenty in number, swaying their lissome bodies in rhythm with two-string fiddle and guitar that was sadly out of tune, the while executing dance that was never seen upon any stage. The costume was re- ally wonderful affair, the headdress being markedly striking in design and finish. In shape something like the French chapeau, it served the double purpose of a mask and headgear, ex- tending to the mouth and enveloping the greater part of the head. It was gayly tinseled and tasseled and fairly shone with beads and all the ornamen- tation which the Mexican fancy can suggest. The lower part of the face was concealed by silk handkerchief of brilliant color, leaving small aper- ture for breathing purposes. Down the back foated vari-colored streamers, and capes of rich material dropped gracefully from the shoulders. In one hand they carried scroll work that looked like the substantial side of a paper rack, and with the other they rattled their prettily decorated casta- nets in tune with the monotonous movements of the dance. Some of the dancers were distinguished in an origi- nal and startling way, which, to the American onlooker, lent ridicule to the whole inane proceeding. Over their velvet trousers were drawn abbreviated balloon pantalettes of the style so af- fected by the comic paper cartoonists in their sketches of the aunties of col 1 ored society.
 Around the flaming fagot fires they formed and amid a silence as profound as a graveyard at night they circled these tributes to the saint, never chang ing the step, but varying the move ments of the body at command of the leader. Sometimes they would bow and scrape to the flames, and then fall to the earth and squirm and wriggle like so many horrid snakes. It was a weird scene. The glow from the fires dreadfully accentuated the painted faces of the Indians, who stood stoically silent, with no manifestation of ap- proval or displeasure. They formed a lurid background to a decidedly dra- matic ceremony. The senors them selves, mantled in their serapes, were an interesting part of the stage group, and the gaunt and sallow faces of the senoras seemed to reflect the spirit ot superstition that swayed the scene. The dancers never appeared to grow tired. It was ''Oh, on with the dance all the time, until diversion was created by the sudden appearance of an evil spirit in the makeup of bull. This fellow wore horns, and the greater part of his body was incased in the hide of the animal that shows so much antipathy to red.

SUNLIGHT FOR HORSES.
Sick Animals Require as Much Nursing as
 Sick Men.

Sick Animals Require as Much Nursing as
 Sick Men.
 The proper nursing for sick horses requires only slightly less delicate attention than the nursing of sick men, says the London Live Stock Journal. Not to speak of diet and medicine, frequent change of bedding and clothing are as indispensable in Dnc case as in the other. Perfect at tention, abundant light and pure at- nosphere should always be prime con- alterations in treating the stable pa tent as well as the human subject. the influence of light on the animal frame, and even on the rudest form of organism, is highly beneficial. The horse is by nature one of the children of light, and not of darkness-of the open air, not of the confined, stuffy stall. In his wild state he seeks the sunlight of the plains and avoids the darkness of forest glens; and if we would fortify him against the destruc- tive effects of protracted illness, we should insure him the free light of day and full enjoyment of the pure cir cumambient air. He should, when ail- ing, not be tied up to rack or man. ger, but have the compartment free dom of a roomy box. It is strange that most stable architects think any odd space in a dark corner, that can not be well utilized to form stalls, is quite good enough situation for a loose box or for an infirmary for 8 horse told off" as too i'll to work and requiring veterinary treatment. There is much room for improvement in the architecture and sanitation of the sta ble for both sick and healthy horses

The platform adopted by the Republi-
can state convention will commend itself
to all in one particular: it's brief
As an official document coming from
the greatest and best party in the state
and nation, the enunciation is a disap-
pointment
The STATE JOURNAL would stif1e the
courage of its convictions did we say
that the six planks formulated today
constitute great platform
A great platform must be plaiu, clear
and take pronounced stand on the is
sues of the day.
Aside from the reiteration of certain
good old principles and condemnation
of the present incompetent and disgrace
full state and national administration az
represented by the Populists and Demo-
Gratis, the platform is decidedly weak
and unworthy of its prOmulgators.
To be sure OF success a party, like an
individual, must be progressive, must
take stand on the issues. Aside from
the routing of the PopuIists, who have
disgraced Kansas, the issues involved to-
day are silver, prohibition and woman
suffrage.
On two Of the questions the platform

The platform builders have counted on

of the platform, because they know the

At this point it is expected that, owing
to the exceptional advantages in the
way of atmospheric conditions, splendid
results will be obtained. The Observable
~ will also have the advantage of being
situated farther south than any tele-
scope in the world, having a sweep of
the horizon of nine degrees, an area
such as has never before been posi- bic
in glass of the kind
The glass itself is superb g inck
refracting telescope, made in the best
days of Alvan Clark, the veteran lens
grinder of Cambridgeport, Mass. Ac-
cording to the makers testimony, it is
the best instrument he ever made of the
size.
Next fall, when the Mount Lowe rail
way is completed, there will be erected
on the summit of Mount Lowe a COM
plete astronomical observatory at an al
titude 2, 600 feet higher than the Lick
observatory. The telescope now on Echo
mountain will be transferred thither,
and the institution will be placed in
charge Of Professor Lewis Swift.
This celebrated astronomer was born
at ClarksUn, Monroe county, N. Y, Feb
90, 1920. He was the son of a farmer
with q large family and small income
and worked hard on the farm until, at
the age of 3, a fracture of the hip rem
dered him lame for life. Then he at
tended school for three years, walking
daily to the Clarkson academy and back,
q distance of over two miles, on crutch-
es. He finally fitted himself for lee
turer on scientific subjects and followed
that vocation for several years
In 1855 he read DR.. Thomas Dicks
works on astronomy and became so
enanored of the subject that he deter
mined to devote his life to that science.
With his own hands he made his first
telescope and through it viewed the Do
natl comet In. 1862 he discovered the
great Swift comet, which made him
famous and caused his removal to Roch-
ester, where the Warner observatory was
erected and equipped for his use. DR..
Swift has now to his credit the discov-
cry of nine comets and $50 nebulae. His
last great discovery was made in 1899,
when he found the large comet of that
year. DIR. Swift is very frugal in his
habits and does not use tobacco or slim
ulants. He has been twice married, and
of his five children four survive.

Water From the Mountains Coming
Down the Platte.
OMAHA, June THE Platte river is
rapidly rising, but no great damage has
yet been done, though much is appre-
hended. The wall of water five feet in
height reported last night to be ap-
preaching Kearney, has not yet materi-
allied, though the river has risen several
inches.
The food was reported 60 miles to
the north and should have appeared
at kearney this morning. As the
river is much broader for miles south of
where the wall of water was seen, it is
believed that it has gradually extended
its width until it is merely an ordinary
rise.
The large canal constructed at an i'm
mense cost by the Kearney cotton mill
and kindred industries It is hardly
thought will stand a much greater rise,
even though the raging flood reported
does not appear, and there is much ap-
prehensiOn in that vicinity.

BAD FAILURE AT DENVER.


German National Closes With Nearly q
Million in Deposit Inside.
DENVER, Colo, June THE German
National bank did not open its doors to-
day. Cashier KunsemilIer says that the
institution is compelled to go out of
business. A statement will be made
later in the day.
The German National is one of the
oldest banks in the city. The president
is K ]. Reltmann, who is very wealthy.
At one time the banks stock sold for
1886 a share. The bank was closed dur
ing the panic last summer, but subse-
quently reopened on an agreement with
the stockholders.
When the bank reopened after the
panic, the depositors accepted extension
certificates. The first of these due in
March, were paid. The second due
June 1, were paid as presented until last
night when the funds were exhausted
and the directors decided to close the
doors permanently.
The closing of the bank means liqui-
dation as far as possible. 1t is impossi-
BILE to ascertain whether the depositors
will be paid in full or not The deposits
according to the last statement made
May 4. were 1858, 626; cash resources,
December the deposits were $1,O33, 600;
cash resources, 1886, 900; total resources,
1852, 900. The capital of the bank is
$5O0,OOO; surplus, $4,000.
Charles M. Clinton, cashier of the Ger
man n ational, resigned recently to
cept the vice presidency of the Ameri-
can National and SO many depositors
off in the deposits at the German. This
induced President Reithmann to close
out the business. 1t is believed none of
