The Portland Methodist preachers meet

pal revival that will endeavor to close

Rev. L. A. Pier has been conducting a

Rev. William Keilaway Of Oregon is in
the City. He may take charge OF some
Christian church in California.
Rev. Edwards Davis of the Central Chris
tian Church of Oakland has been deliver

the past month.
The Pacific Coast Endeavorer says edi-
torally: The Christian Endeavorers OF
Cleveland, Ohio, have been extending the
unwelcome notoriety of Robert G. Inger-
soil by formally praying for his conver-
sion. We have no doubt that the motive
to such devotional regard for the great
infideps redemption was good, but we very
much doubt the efficacy of the method.
Our Lord warned US against spectacular
praying by advising US, "When thou pray
est enter into thy closet and shut thy
door" The Endeavorer also quotes the
Congregationalist's view of the matter as
fnno rha
nouncement that many people in Cleve-
land and elsewhere were going to pray
for Robert G. Ingersoll was an offense to
good taste, as it was contrary to the teach
ings of our Lord.
Rev. Edwards Davis of the Central
Christian Church of Oakland exchanged
pulpits with Rev. V. Morgan of Alameda
last Sabbath.
A union of the Endeavor societies of the

pointed for more efficient work, and a

Indian Bones.
BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 21.-Indian
bones, supposed to have been buried nearly
a century ago, have been exhumed dur
ing the last few days from shell mound
on Bristol street.. between Second and
Third West Berkeley. Charles Wulf-
endinger Jr.. an emplove of the Tay-
lor Lumber Company, while removing
earth from the mound to fill up the low
places in the umber-yard of his employer
yesterday, dug up two complete and we'll
preserved human skeletons. These were
buried about eight feet beneath the sur
face, and it is to this fact that their al
oct IN tofa % ,e 10
be due. On the day previous he dug up
another skeleton, but this was not III such
a complete state, having been buried with
In two feet of the surface
IN the cases of those found at eight feet
the bones were much whittier and less liable
to breakage than those discovered nearer
the surface. A striking popularity with
regard to the burial of the Indian corpses
Is the fact that under each skeleton was to
be found heap OF ashes. 1t is supposed
that the ashes acted in the nature of a
preservative and counteracted to a certain
extent the chemical changes, which would
have tended to entirely decompose the re-
mains.
Several years ago this same mound was
the favorlte resort of Indian relic-h Inters;
but until recently it has remained unno-
ticed and apparently forgotten. Occaslon-
ally flint arrowhead NAV be found, and
once in great while tomahawk. These
relics. however, were much more
numerous prior to the time the
historic place was invested by the
souvenir-seeking globe-trotters. AbaIone
and mussel shells similar to those
discovered at the shell mound, near
Emeryville were also in abundance. Many
of these are still to be found, but few in
such a state as to permit of handling.
There has been some talk of setting aside
the property upon which the mound is
located as a public ground.

other observable feature of the building
progress is the decided tendency to build
on the north side. Heretofore the south
side has enjoyed the greater share of the
building, but the past year has seen 1t
largely transferred TO the north. The best
class of houses has been erected on Central
avenue, the leading thoroughfare of the
city, but in numbers Railroad, Pacific,
Buena Vista and Eagle have crowded the
favorite avenue. Bay station and vicinity
have taken an unwonted squirt, and there
are indications that for the coming
year the west end will be the scene OF
greatly increased activity.

A letter in one of the church papers
from the Bishop of Pittsburg on "Tne
Degradation of Christmas" suggests serious
thoughts to Christian people. The grow
ing predominance of holiday over holy
day In the observance of the great festival
is certainly to be deplored. AT least our
good church people should not lend them
selves to this sort of thing. Certainly
their little ones should not be included in
the hundreds of thousands of children to
whom the Bishop sadly refers, whose
minds through these christmas inven-
tions' and the like will be "filled with
thoughts of Santa Claus, with no teaching

Indications That the Trouble in

Is Only Begun.
SETTLERS ARE VERY UNEASY.
Reported That Three Whites
and Six Indians Have
Been Killed. Ed.

PocArE11o, Ida., July 2S.-From
present indications the conflict between
the settlers in the Jackson Hole coun
try, in Northeastern Idaho and North
western Wyoming, and the Indians, is
not at an end. Although news of the
trouble has been suppressed, it is now
positively known at least four Indians
were killed. Just a week ago, word
was received at the Bannock agency,
II miles north of here, that several
hundred Bannock and Shoshone In
dams had come in conflict with settlers
and all the available Indian police were
sent out to bring the fighters in.
Came Home Dissatisfied.
The wanderers have arrived once
more on their reservation, but they are
far from being in peaceful frame OF
mind. 1t has been given out all along
that only one Indian was killed and
the trouble had been made light Of, as
much as possible. White Bear, cap
tain of the Indian police, admitted that
he brought back the four bucks and
the trouble was regarded so seriously

ward hunters home The band Of be-
tween 200 and 800 who arrived during
the day are in surly mood. OF course
they talk little to white men, but one
of the BUCKS said they we're only COM
ing to the reservation to get more am
munition and then they were going
back to kill the white men.
This and similar threats have caused
the present uneasiness among those IN
authority, and unless the Indians re-
turn quietly to their homes, Agent
letters will request that the Seventh
infantry, from Fort Russell, at Chey-
enne, or the Eighth cavalry from Boise
City, be at once sent to this point.
Settlers Very Uneasy.
The settlers in the vicinity OF the
recent trouble are very much disturbed
and many of them are leaving their
! farms to get nearer to civilization, or
J are banding together for protection.
| They complain bitterly that the red
hunters have no respect whatever for
their rights or property. Crops are
trodden under the feet of their ponies

Governor Richards Receives Inquiries Re-
gardine Princeton Students.
CHEYENNE, wy, July 23.-Governor
Richards has received a number OF
anxious inquiries from Eastern friends
of members of the 10th annual geolog-
ical survey from Princeton college, now
making trip in Northwestern wy
oming, who have been reported cap
tured by Bannocks and massacred.
Governor Richards is certain that no
harm has befallen the students. The
fight between settlers and Bannocks
occurred on July in the Jackson Hole
region near the western Wyoming line,
directly south of the Yellowstone Ma.
tional park. On July the Princeton
students were at Lander in Fremont
county, over 100 miles from the scene
of the trouble. The expedition
remained in Lander several days and
then proceeded slowly up the Big
Wind river towards the northwest in
search of specimens and to examine
the geological formations west of Fort
, Washable. The country in which they
were to travel is comparatively well
settled. The country to be examined
, by them is within easy reach OF Fort
+ Washable, where there are two com
panies of United States infantry and
number of Indian police.
