GOLD BURIED by THE INDIANS.
Winding Hawk and His Treasure Lie

winding Hawk ana HIS Treasure Lie
in the Grave.
MInnea polls Journal.
At Rosebud agency n secret expedition
is being planned to go out, under the
guidance OF some of the old braves, and
plumber the grave OF an old Sioux chief,
who has laid buried since 1854. In his
grave is believed to be $50, 900 In gold coin,
long supposed to be worthless trinkets..
When the Mormons were migrating to Utah
from Nauvoo they passed through an Indian
village OF about 5000 people, situated
where Fort Laramie now stands. During
the march n COW that had become lame was
lost and was butchercd by the Indians.
The Mormons complained TO lieutenant in
command of a squad of twenty-Seven men.
The lieutenant was young and fresh. and
he promptly demanded that the Indians
should be turned over to him. This Being
denied, he boldly charged the village, with
the usual result. He and his twenty-seven
comrades were buried in single grave,
which is still cared for by the Government
at old Laramie.
Among the leading spirits in this mas
sacre was prominent Sioux chief called
Winding Hawk, who brooded ov the
execution of his comrades, and in re-
venge held up government annuity AMI
bulance. The coach contained about
500, 900 in currency and the same
amount in gold coin. The currency was
recognized as valuable by the half
breeds, who Immediately appropriated
it, and there is a hall-1reed family ut
Rosebud that is wealthy now in oonse-
quence OF that raid. The gold coins,
however. were looked upon as trinkets.
So far as the Indians knew they had
no money value and were appropriated
by Winding Hawk as his share. Later
they buried Winding Hawk, and with
him, according 10 their custom, they
buried his best bow and arrows, his most
valuable furs and his new trinkets.
As the Indians became more intimate
with the whites and more civilized they
came to know the value of the gold
coins, but. as the violation of an Indian
grave brings, according to superstition~
fatally bad luck, there was no thought |
OF robbing old Winding Hawk, Until tie |
young braves of the present generation, |
casting aside the red mans superstitions |
rs they acquired the white mans love |
Of gold, have persuaded their fathers
who helped to bury Winding Hawk 10 go |
with them and show them the spot near
Fort Laramie, where Winding Hawk and I
lis gold treasure lie buried.

SENATOR VEST ON THE IN

The senator says;
"The people Of this country will

supreme court Of the United States,
in opposition to its decision Of an

ment than the poorest man in the

TWELVE THOUSAND MILL

The annual aggregate circula.
ton Of the papers Of the world is
calculated to be 100000, 900
copies. To grasp an idea Of this
magnitude we may state that it
would cover no fewer than l0,450

and further, that If the number,
10000 ,O00,0O represented, in

take 333 years for them TO elapse.
In lieu Of this arrangement We
might pile and press them verti-

est AlTs, the pile would reach the
magnificent altitude OF $50, or IN
round numbers, 500 miles. CAL
culating that the average man

In response TO many inquiries,
the following Is published, giving
the reason we will not have an
other leap year until 1904: The
exact time Of the earth's reyolu-
ton is S65 days, 8 hours, IS min
utes and 1906 seconds. We count
the year as S65 days and 6 hours,
and thereby a gain Of II minutes
and 1895 seconds occurs, and in
100 years this amounts to is
hours, AZ minutes aud 10 seconds,
so to do away with this gain we
drop adding the day at the end Of
the century. In doing this an

amounts to 81 hours, minutes, so

INNOCULATION OF SOUR
RELS.
egOnlan

The time has already come that
drastic measures will have to be
adopted to successfully and effec-
tivel y exterminate the ground SPUR
rel pest that, despite constant eff
forts with poisons, is growing and
that to an alarming extent. This
is due partly to the farmers them
selves. No matter how thoroughly
a thrifty farmer rlds his farm of the
squirrels there is, perhaps, one or
two shiftless or careless neighbors
who pay little or no attention to the
poisoning of the nuisances, and the
squirrels quickly multiply on his
place and, being no respector of
persons, cross the line to the better
feeding grounds of the thrifty gram
ger. Every inducement has been
made to help the farmers save their
crops, but owing to the careless and
Indifferent, the expenditure of time
and money has been almost fruit
less and other means will have to
be adopted or else give over the land
to the squirrels.
For over a year Professor A. B.
Kibbe, bacteriologist of the state
board of health of Seattle has been
experimenting with innoculation Of
abe pests and with what success is
not known, but he will be in this
city some time during April, when
tbs results ofhis labor will be made
public. His chief difficulty, it is
learned, has been to produce the de-
sired effect by mere contact, This
difficulty will have to be overcome
to attain success, as the squirrels
nfesting thss region rarely ever eat
their dead like the Russian squirrel
1t is only in extremely dry seasons
that they resort to the cannibalistic
habit.
Should Professor Kibbe's efforts
prove successful, distributing sta
tons will be establishedin different
portions of the regions infested and
innoculated squirrels distributed
throughout the surrounding farms.

BOYS AND TOBACCO.

The school teachers of Chicago
have initiated movement looking
to the removal of the cigarette curse
from the schools. At meeting of
the Chicago Teachers club the sub
ject was fully discussed. Miss

That the evil is a curse in the
schools, think unquestionable.

a law forbidding the use of tobacco
in all the public schools of the re-
public. 1t is here used by such
young children, and their average

The production of paper cigarettes
for many years past has not been
less than 5OO,OO0,O00 annually. The
great majority are manufactured in
New York city. The increase is
largely due to the cultivated taste
for artificial havors. None are
manufactured in this city, as far as
I know. The stumps are collected
by Italian and Polish children and
old men and used for smoking to-
bacco, not made again into cigar
cites. Oftentimes much creosote is
contained, developing consumption.
Memory and attention are injured
by it. Iowa has passed law that
cigarettes shall not be sold in the
state, not only to minors, but to
any one. AS long as men use to-
bacco. boys will. | come from

the suffering and poor of the coun-
try. If the statistics mean any
thing, something must be done to
save child-life. We teachers and
other philanthropists are not sniff
GENTLY aroused about the magni-
tude of cigarette smoking.
Another teacher said:
Two thirds of the school boys of
Chicago are victime of the cigarette
habit. and it is not known to the
teachers and the parents until it
has become too strong to be shaken
off. The result is injury physical
and mental. While there are many
instructors appointed by the board
of education, [ am sure that their
combined efforts do not equal the
efforts of the adjoining school stores
to achieve the destructive mission.
