Died-At Lewis Ferry, Idaho, June
9th, 1897, Polina Lewis, aged 25 years,
4 months and 81 days.
Miss Lewis was a favorite with every
one who knew her and it will be great
shock to her many friends to hear of
her death. She has lefta vacant spot in
her home and will be missed by those
travellers who cross the Ferry. She has
left darkened home to join the angels
in the bright above, where she will wait
with that ever ready smile, to greet
those friends who are worthy to join her
on those golden sands. is

INDIAN NAMES.
POeticaI and Significant Titles Given
to Rivers and Regions.

1t is but little more than century since we
became nation, and yet in that short time
the proud and warlike race of men that
roamed at VIII over all the country west Of
the Alleghenies has disappeared. The only
Indians left to us are the remnants of various
tribes gathered from all parts of the country
and herded together on the Yves, ern reserva-
tons. These too, give promise of dwindiing
away, and then there will be nothing but a
name, and the many names of places and
things which they have left behind them to
ever remind us that they once existed
Nearly every lake and stream. every hill
and valley. received a name from these po-
etical savages. and hundreds Of these beau
t:ful Indian designations will remain in use
They are a part of the liturature of the red
men, and will certainly not suffer by COM
parison with the "burgs' and "villes'' that
we employ for the same purpose. AS these
Indian names are always of a descriptive
character. and sometimes point out peculiar
tiles in the thing or place named, it may not
be uninteresting to know the meaning of
some of the more common ones that we hear
and speak every day.
The rivers were the highways Of the In
dams, and their names are perhaps more
familiar than any other class. Most prom-
nent are the Mississippi father of waters

and the choice, such as it is, lies between "a

that the former is the true Interpretation,
while others aver that it cannot be anything
but the latter. The inference seems to be
that the Indians held no very high opinions
of the site of the present city of Chicago.

INSECTS OF ARIZONA.
Many Deadly Creatures That Are the
Terror of the Inhabitants.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Mason, of this city. are
entertaining this week two distinguished
naturaHsts, who have made extensive re-
searches in the Western field, says the Den
yer news. The guests are David Bruce, the
WorIo greatest entomologist and Dr.
Rlchard E. KunZe, a physician of New York
city, who has just completed a campaign of
hVe and a half months among the insects of
Arizona, and is so greatly charmed with Col
orado that he has decided to take I'D his
residence In this state. DR.. Kunze talked in
a most entertaining manner last evening of
his trip through Arizona and the peculiarities
OF insect life in the far Southwest.
ARIZONA, said he, in the course of his re-
marks, is the Ell Dorado of the entomologist.
Inc variety OF insect life in Arizona has for
years made the region a favorite field FOR
students and collectors, but every year new
species are found and new species will be
found for years to come. | began work in
Arizona the first week in April last, in the
vicinity OF Tucson. During the season
worked every day, for the naturalist knows
no Sunday when he is in the field. He just
takes the insects in their prime. | succeeded
in collecting between $1,000 and "a, 900 speci-
mems. l could have collected much larger
number in certain directions, but did not
want to do so.
THE least number of any one species col
lected by me during the summer was 100. l
gathered in on-y 100 of the scorpion, centipede
and tarantula family

The naturalist laughed: YES they might
bite if they had chance, but it is the bust
ness of collector not to give them chance
You see we are supplied with all sorts of
paraphernalia for handling the different in
sects. Never let an insect seize you. Do the
Selling yourself Fear is out of the question.
We face the music and take the chances.
The 'tarantula hawk said the learned
naturalist, lis one of the peculiar little ami
mas Astounding in Arizona. The hawk preys
upon the tarantula, hence his name. He is
built for hunting them, and he does it to
perfection. You the hawks crawl
ing along the ground in search Of their prey.
They have long ears and move like lightning
when a tarantula heaves in sight. In an in
slant the hawk pounces upon the poor taran-
tula, and before the victim is aware of the
danger the deadly weapon of the enemy is i'm
planted in his body. The hawk simply depos-
its a poison inside the body of the tarantula,
which paralyZes him. In connection with the
poison he deposits an egg, which proceeds to
hatch out, and a caterpillar is the result.
The young caterpillar feeds on the body Of
the tarantula until he is ready to undertake
housekeeping on his own account. There are
two species of tarantula hawks, distinguished
by the color of their wings. peculiar thing
is that each species has its particular kind
of tarantula.'

The rabbi said that undoubtedly

that he was glad that those would be

NATAL'S WONDERFUL LAMP SNAKE
Emits n Dazzling Light That Can Be
Seen Two Miles.

The natives Of Natal, South Africa have an
implicit faith in the existence of the lamp
snake, which they call "umningi." This rep
tile is supposed to frequent swamps lakes
and is of a size vast that on an occasion
when one CT the species was attacked and
killed by a boer hunting party its carcass
flied couple of wagons. In fact, the UNI
ningi's proportions are almost unlimited. The
light emitted by this monster is bright and
dazzling in the extreme, and can be easily
discerned from distance of couple of miles
more. Naturally this radiance is visible
by night only Many natives call the lamp
snake ivimbela, but usually this name is ap-
piled to a serpent whose dwelling is in the
sea, and whose powers. though great and mar
velous, not splayed in rivers or fraught
with magic light. A native says he has often
seen the lamp snake in the pools of the I'm
voti river, where it passes through thorn coun-
try. He says it is not uncommon and in
color is very pale, almost white, with brown
patches about it; it is rather large snake.
On a dark night it makes a light in the
pool which shines so brightly that when
one first sees it ones eyes blink.

WHO FIRED THE SHOT?
Patron OF the Dime Museum Wound
ed in a Mysterious Manner.

Charles Knabbe, a farm laborer,
boarding at the Merchants hotel, 212
Nicollet avenue was the victim last
night of very mysterious shooting ac-
ciGent. Shortly after 10 o'clock Krabbe
with some friends paid a visit to the
dime museum, as is usual taking in
the cUrio hall first. While standing in
the crowd during the progress of the
entertainment there sharp report was
heard, which attracted the attention OF
those only in the immediate vicinity of
Knabbe.
Accompanying the report came a cry
from Knabbe that he had been shot,
and instantly the entertainment ceased
and for a moment pandemonium
reigned.
Knabbe was Immediately assisted
down stairs, where a hurried examina-
ton was held revealing the fact of a
bullet wound in the thigh. In the
meantime Dr. Moulton had been sum-
moned, and had the injured man re-
moved to his office, where an attempt
was made to remove the bullet, but
without success. 1t was evidently zl-
calibre revolver which had been dis
charged, and at close range as the bull
let had penetrated several inches. The
VIC und was dressed, and Knabbe walked
to his hotel without assistance. Wh3
handled the gun that did the damage
is a mystery.

Death From Typhoid Fever.

Mrs. j. R. Edison, of 1902 Twenty-eighth

six months ago. Although injured, she was
able to continue her housework until a few
days ago. Saturday night she was taken to

Eumably from the effects of her injuries. The
body was removed to the morgue where Dep
