An Indian Legend of Creation.

Among the many interesting ira.
ditions that have recently been
brought to light by a gentleman vino
has been making a careful study of
the legends and folk lore of the Chey-
enpe and Arapahoe Indians of the
Indian Territory, is one that accounts
in an original way for the origin OF
women. The Indians of these tribes
sniff disdainfully at the "rib" theory
when the resident missionaries try to
teach them the initial lessons of the
Old Testament regarding their first
parents. The wise men of their tribes
long ago wrestled with the funda-
mental facts of creation and evolved
theories concerning it, which the
lapse of time have come to be looked
upon by the Indians of today as his
torical truths. 1t is little wonder that
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lraves
look down upon their women a lie
ferrior beings. The legend says that
originally all men were created with
long, sleek and comely tails. These
tails were their delight, and they
adorned them with paint beads and
wampum. Then the world was at
peace-discord and wars we're I'M
known. Men became prosperous
and proud, forgot their Maker and be-
came envious and quarrelsone. Their
Maker became displeased with them,
and sent a scourge upon them to
teach them humility and make them
realize their dependence on the Great
Spirit.
He amputated their tails, and out
of these beautiful members fashioned
women.
Women, say the Cheyennes, still
retain traces of their origin. for we
find them ever trailing after men,
frisky and impulsive.-St. LOUIS Re

Peculiar People.

Some of the people of Carson are
rather peculiar. They consider it no
crime to rob the United States mint,
and look upon the efforts of the au-
thorities to hunt down the thieves as
persecution. Theythink it honorable
and only an evidence of their shrewd
ness and ability, for lawyers to at.
tempt TO bride witnesses, but hold up
their hands in holyhorror at the sight
Of the mar who exposes them, and
with that CHRISTIAN feeling which per
meates the moral atmosphere of the
capital city refuse to let his family
have a bucket of water. 1t does not
surprise them to learn that one-third
or more of the State funds were in
new silver dollars of the coinage of
1893, but their asto ish lent is great
when they hear that the Taxpayers
would like to know how so many dol
lars which have never been in circu-
lation get into the State Treasury.

The Trouble Is All About Re-
pairing Fire Hydrants
PLEDGES OF LAST CAMPAIGN
The Water Company Not Obliged to
Make Repairs
There Is to BE an Injunction Prayed
for in the Courts

The proposal that the city should re-
pair the fire hydrants throughout town
at present needing attention and shall let
the contract for all future work of a like
character to the lowest bidder for one
year, has raised most fearful row about
the city hall and 1t is party row at that.
All day long yesterday the matter was
discussed pro and con by the chiefs. big
and little, who, since the beginning of
the year have been drawing their month
ly stlpends from out of the municipal
treasury, all of them with promises UNI
versally made to the voters that if elected
they would each and every one assist in
strangling the local water company. The
recommendation which has been made
to the council for action tomorrow upon
the subject is officially as follows:
In the matter OF repairs to fire hydrants,
recommend that the chief of the fire de-
partment be authorized to make the re-
pairs to the fire hydrants throughout the
city where actually necessary and the city
clerk be instructed to advertise for bids
to keep fire hydrants in repair for one
year.
The meat in the ABOVE recommendation
was printed in The Herald yesterday
morning and that it has caused commo-
tion in the Republican army centered
about the city hall. is but expressing it
mildly. 1t means Of course, If it means
anything. that the city will have to foot
the bills in the repairs to be made, and
this in spite of the explicit section in the
contract with the water company made
way back in 1868, which states that the
company shall at all times keep in repair
the fire hydrants of the city. The state
ment is freely made that the company has
made bluff and the Republican majority
in the council is about to allow itself to
be hammered into submission.
1t is argued that the recommendation
that the chief of the fire department al
once have repaired all hydrants needing
attention, means, as does the other section
OF the report, for the lowest bidder to dc
the work in future. that the water com.
pany will secure the job of repairing in
the field which can properly do such
work. 1t is also alleged that the com.
pany is at present placing in service
hydrants which, upon examination, even
before they have been used at all prove
worthless.
When seen yesterday by reporter,
Chief Mo".e of the fire department said
cal side of this thing. All want is to
viceable.''
Should the recommendations as agreed
upon be adopted. it is stated that an in
junction to restrain the city from paying
the bills will at once be applied for
There is stated to be involved in the con
troversy some $500 to be paid out imme
diately and about $100 month.
The claim of the water company is tina
under its contract with the city they ar
not compelled to repair any hydran
which is used for street sprlnkling. AL
other hydrants they are always ready tt
repair. The city attorney has given tn,
board of fire commissioners an opinion
that the company can not be compelled t.
repair sprinkling hdyrants.
