THE TRIBUNE PRINTING co.

>. we nave Lne pleasure 10 anHOuNce w
our readers this week that we have
added another force to the Willmar
TRIBUNE in the person of Mr.. II.
T. Olson, the well-known Kandi-
yohi county school teacher, who has
purchased one-third, interest in the
plant and goodwill Of the paper.
After the campaign Of 81 the so-called
political independent voters of Kandi-
county made an urgent appeal to US to
start newspaper, that should voice
their sentiment. ! We took the matter
in hand and Feb. 1856 the Will
mar TRIBUNE saw daylight for the
first time. The generous support
given the enterprise convinced US that
there was a good field here for such a
paper. Since its inception Willmar
TR1BuNEhase enjoyed a healthy growth.
Our business has increased SO that
another person Interested in the paper
who could devote: his energies to the
development Of the same became de-
sirable.x Hence we began to look
around for such a man and after look
ing over the available. material Mr..
Olson was invited to join. I =.
We need mot say anything com
mandatory about Mr.. Olson as. he is
already we'll known in this county.
He is an old school teacher, "a Nor
NAL school graduate and a careful,
competent and substantial business
man, who will add both moral and
financial strength to the WLLMAR
TRIBUNE. s. Mr.. Olson will at once
assist Mr.. ;Lawoon with the strictly
business part of the company, and
also take up certain lines Of editorial
work. We feel confident that we have.
a team now that will make WILLMAR
TRIBUNE. a 'shummer. = 1<<5. :.
We thank our patrons for the kind
and generous support that has made
the enterprise asuccess. We ask your
earnest support equally for the future.
We are going to make the paper bet
ter in the future, and SO interesting
that it will more than ever be ahouse-:
hold necessity. It will neither be hide
bound, party bound nor tongue-tied,
but will fairly and honestly, asswe see
it, tell the truth in love for, the good
Of humanity. We don't expect to
write what Will.p]ease or5displease our.
readers, forthe sake: Of tickling their
fancy Or irritating their feelings, but
rather endeavor.t to set our readers to
think for themselves on their serious
duties as. citizens, in whose hands is

ton no less than 12O feet long.
MRS. ANNIE BESANT.

She Has Noble and Impressive Per-
sonality.
This peculiarly gifted woman is in
her 5Oth year. Her hair is now rather
silvery than dark; and what may be
called the spiritual expression of her
face has become intensified to a. de-
gree strikingly suggestive of a life in
which contemplation predominates
over action, says Leslie's Weekly. The
old-tlme responsiveness of speech, far
from having waned, is in more subtle
force than ever. The limpid clearness
OF thought and scientific precision Of
phrase, combined with sympathetic
spontaneity, which count for so much
IN the charm of her discouse are es-
pecially in evidence now that the ma
terlal side of ocultism. so to speak,
is the subject of popular exposition.
order, system and self-control are the
malnsprings of her power over others.
From her precept and example pro-
ceeds an impression of the serene force
OF the inevitable. Most portraits of
Mrs. Besant fail to suggest either the
meditative grace of her features in re-
pose or the winning animation of her
smile. Her dress is picturesquely SIM
pie, consisting of soft white silk, with
the chuddar, or shawl, thrown over one
shoulder, after the fashion of the In
dlan woman. On the third finger Of
the lett hand she wears the famous sig
| net ring of Nine Rlavatsl1v-an ori
ental onyx, engraved with the SYM
| bollcal device of the double triangle
and the Sanskrit word Sat, signifying
the divine existence. Altogether the
English teacher presents a noble and
Impressive personality, with some
thing of the outward semblarce of what
one might look for in a living cham
p1on of the ideal amid a sensual and
material age.

stocks. There is no general or prevail
ing Navajo type. Every variety of In
dian form and face is seen among
them. Their countenances are as a
rule Intelligent and expressive; some
stern and angry; some pleasant and
smiling; others calm and thoughtful;
but seldom are they dull or stupid.
The position of women is one of great
independence, and much of the wealth
of the nation belongs to them; they
are managers of their own property,
the owners of their own children and
their freedom lends character to their
physiognomies.
Manuelito, whose portrait is repro
duced, was many years an influential
chief. Latterly he lost much of his
influence through his Incorporate
habits, though he was regarded as a
sage counselor until the time of his
death, which occurred in 1893. Dr..
Matthews states that when he was
gone, an old Indian, in announcing his
death, told him: 1--WE are now a peo-
pie without eyes, without ears, with
out a mind" Another portrait is that
of Tanapa, Navajo woman, who took
her hair out of braid before standing
for the camera. The Navahoes dwell
IN houses of very simple character.

Cuba.-Cuba has as much reason for

Lafayette to come 5000 miles to help
us?-Rev. ]. o. Wilson, Methodist, New

Readjustment.-Life needs to be ad-

At the meeting of the American Folk
Lore society in Philadelphia in De-
:ember, 1885, the president, Doctor
Washington Matthews, read pa
per on the poetry and music of the
Navajo Indians. He stated that
these Indians had a number of lengthy
legends, SO numerous that he never
hoped to collect them all; an elaborate
religion with symbolism and allegory
that might vie with that of the Greeks !;
formulated prayers and multitudinous
songs, composed of all subjects, and
adapted for every circumstance of life.
We have grown somewhat accustom-
ed Of recent years to hearing similar
statements about the American In
diars, but those who have described
the Indian as poet have as a rule
compelled us to reply upon their mere
assertions. When they have published
specimens of aboriginal tales and
legends they have been either SO adapt
eG and improved as to lose their native
character, or so disfgured with strange
alphabets and unmeaning words as to

on their reservation. They do not Gull
t;vate the soil to any extent. Their
sterile country is fairly we'll adapted
to raising sheep and goats, which fur
nish their chief supply, and the wool
Of the sheep constitutes their chief
supply of wealth. AS dOmesticated
sheep and goats were unknown In
America previous to the discovery by
Columbus and in Mexico before Coro-
nado's expedition in 1910, it follows
that the Navan >es have not been shep-
herds for many centuries. Indeed, it
would appear from their legends that
it is not many years since they became
prosperous and wealthy people. Such
they now are for savages.
Dr. Matthews states that no exact
census has ever been taken, but from
various estimates it would appear they
comprise from 1000 to 10000 souls.

belonging to the Athabascan stock

A LITTLE BRIEF AUTHORITY.
Ike Was Appointed Deputy Sheriff With

Few men can look back over +hair
lives without wondering how thew sur

they passed. I have probably been
through more dangers than the aver
age man, and the man who made his
pile in Arizona, coming back to De-
trolt that he might enjoy it, seemed
to be making a selection from his manv
thrilling experiences, says the Detroit
Free Press. ''They made me sheriff
down there, and I had one gang to
deal with that had no trouble in keen

rough country and inside of three
months we had the gang cleaned out"

poetry and music by an extract from
letter written by DR.. Jonathan Leth-
erman and published in the Smithson-
ian Report for 1866, which for many
years was the most trusted account Of
the Navajo Indians of New Mexico and
Arizona. "Of their religion little or
nothing is known, as indeed, all in
ouiries tend to show that they have
none. They have no knowledge of the
origin or history of their tribe. They
nave frequent gatherings for dancing.

Dr.. Matthews statements challenged
the attention Of scholars in other
fields, who doubted that any such re-
finement of thought and completely OF
ceremonial could exist among our re-
mote and ignorant savages. SO little,
indeed, is generally known OF the IN
lner life of the Indian that when his
accounts were quoted it was urged that
he should make good his assertions to
the world.
There are probably half a dozen per-
sons living who have an intimate &C
Quaintance with Indian thought and
feeling and are able to record and ex-
plain it. Frank H. Cushing of the Zu-
mis-; j. Walter Fewkes of the Mokis;
Alice G. Fletcher of the Omahas; James
Mooney of the Kiowas; Franz Boas of
the Northwest coast tribes, and DR..
Washington Matthews Of the Nava-
.jces. Their opportunity has been in
each instance unique. They have
learned the lore Of savages from their
own lips as it was never learned be-
fore on this continent and as it will
be impossible to learn it after another
generation.
It was for the purpose of stimulating
such collecting and for the publication
OF their work that the American Folk
Lore Society was organized in 1888,
and the last publication Of this society,
q beautifully printed and illustrated
memoir of 800 pages, is devoted to DR..

respects the most complete and perfect
