The suit of Clemens Whirlwind ct

who are "tribal Indians" to sue.
Whirlwind and other Indians left their
reservation at Rose Bud agency, South

in "Wild West show" At st. Louis
Taylor made contract with Won der
Abe, by which Chris was to pay the

but eventually busted" The Indians

He brought suit and won. Chris de-

the Indians, and he denied also that the

of appeals affirmed the conclusion of

THE RUNAWAY STAR.
Travelling Through Space at tho Rate OF
Two HUI bred Miles Second.

Travelling Through Space at tho Rate of
Two HUI bred Miles II Second.
The greatest velocity that has been
recognized among the stars is found in
the motion of u star known as 1870
Groombridge, or the runaway star, as
it is sometimes called, which is believed
to be rushing through space at the rate
of 200 miles per second. This star APP
rcars to be moving in perfectly
straight line through the sky, and it
mny be visiting cur star system for
tile first time, but whence it comes or
whittier it is going no one can tell and
it. is great enigma to the astronomers.
It's wonderful velocity cannot be eN-
planned, rs il is far greater than could
lie produced by the influence of all
known orbs in the universe, and, on
the other hand, the combined attrac-
tion of all the other stars cannot stop
this wanderer in. its solitary fight
through space, until it has rushed on
to THE remoter distances, beyond which
the largest telescopes have never pene-
trated. -..
1t has been mathematically demon
strated that body approaching the
center of our system from an infinite
distance cannot move with a greater
velocity than 25 miles a second, if in
fuenccd by the attraction of the masses
in cur universe alone, but here we have
been considering a star moving with
eight times that velocity and still, not
understanding the fact that it has the
greatest motion known among the
stars, it would require $4,000 years for
this remarkable star to complete an en-
tire circuit around the heavens.-Chi-

TOMORROW meeting of the
stockholders of the Union canal
will be held to consider whether or
not that canal shall be extended to
the Cottonwood wash. The ex-
tending of this canal will prove a
benefit to the company. We I'M
derstand that tho cost of construc-
ton will be $500, and that the
Pima folks will do the work, the
company to pay one half of it out
of its surplus stock. This will
place more assessable stock on the
books of the company, regulate the
distribution of water more equitab-
ly, and shut out all users of water
from the canal except actual stock
holders, besides making a perma-
nent and safe waste way. We

DUCK SHOOTING MADE EASY.
How millionaire Bags the Game WITH
out Firing His Gun.

There is man in this city who has
the wealth of millionaire and the in
stincts of sporting man. Being. able
to crafty the instincts, he had bong MIA
patch of river land in the neighborhoou

an exclusive shooting ground.
Now, everybody does not know TINS
People generally believe that Mr.. MIL
lionaire is as mighty hunter as MI
Nimrod of Biblical fame.
But here is the secret of this fortu-
nate sport, as related by an eye-wlt-
ness. An old French hunter is en-
ployed OH the island, and what fere
Pirault doesn't know about duck shoot-
ing isn't worth knowing. He has an
unerring eye and dilapidatei OLD gun
that will bring down more birds ut
shot than the best shotgun in the hahas
CT sportsman, for that gun OF Pere S
never missed bird in it's career Inc
usual form of dialogue between Mr.. NIL
lionaire and his hunter is here repro
duced:
"Dere eez one duck, Meester nj.
II don't see it, Pere."
"Non? You no zee dat duck? Dat
is so. Hit make not vary plain. My
self, I show hit, Meester NJ and Pere
gets behind the elegant new shotgun
and the amateur sportsman.
Bang, bang! Only one gun goes of
but that is Pere's, and more than one
duck falls inert.
"You shoot dem duck, Meester NJ,
says Pere, ,innocently. "Hit was q
great shoot-pour vous."
The sarcasm Of a foreign tongue is lost
on Mr.. Millionaire. Pere loads up ano
gives his old gun her bead again, ano
more birds are slaughtered. And it il
confidently believed that Mr.. Ms new

During the past year a committee
OF the British Association for the Ad-
'ancement of Science has been en-
gagged in measuring the height of clouds
with the aid of photography. Stimuli
taneous pictures of cloud are made
by two cameras placed GOO feet apart
ana connected by telegraph wires.
from the amount of displacement OF
the cloud caused by viewing it alter
nately from each end of the 60o-foot
base line, its height can be calculated.
Some OF the "mackerel-sky" clouds pho
tographed were IA miles high. The
loftiest clouds whose elevation was thus
measured belonged to the type known
as cirrus or "curl-cloud," the height be-
ing little more than 17miles.--Youth's

the measure as introduced. II
simply defers the payment of taxes
and throws the county just six
months farther in the hole. II the
bill had provided for both pay
Inents to be made in the same year
it would have given relief to the
taxpayer by making his payments
lighter, at the same time putting
the county six months ahead In

INDIANS HATE ENGLISH.
They Refuse to Speak 1t After
Leaving School.
Tho Rigid Rules Against the Use of Their
Own Tongue Cause Them to De-
spise the White Mans
Language.

For years government instructors
among the Indians have been troubled
by the fact that the red men, after learn
ing English at the schools as children,
invariably return 10 their own tongues
and seem positively to hate the white
mans language.
The superintendent of Indian schools,
w. n. Mailman, in report just made to
the commissioner of Indian affairs, says
that the Indians We're actually taught
to hate the English tongue, because OF
the rigid rules against the use of any
Indian conversation by pupils. Until
lately the great majority of Indian
teachers have labored under the delu-
sion TINT they can hasten the acquisi-
ton of the. English language on the part
of the pupils by compulsory measures,
visiting more or less severe penalties
upon the unfortunate children who were
caught in the use of the Indian speech.
The unreasonableness of such pro-
ceedings, which are always punished
with more or less serious failure, ap-
pears when it is considered that am
idiom that is forced upon q child by
means of penalties and other appeals
to fear is necessarily hateful 10 him.
Then. in his own heart, he turns away
from it and uses it only under more or
less pronounced protests. This be-
comes quite manifest as soon as the
children are removed from the restraint
of the school, when, for instance, they
return to their parents for visit or
more or less permanently after gradua-
ton, and when, on meeting their
former teachers, they will either re-
fuse to speak English altogether or an
swer with shame-faced reluctance.
Prof. Mailman says: There is no
doubt in my mind that the unreason-
ableness of the offensive warfare made
in the Indian schools against Indian
vernacular is largely to blame for the
apparent stubbornness with which
older Indians refuse to learn English
or to use the little knowledge thereof
which they may possess. If lit is argued
that with liberty to use the Indian YER
nacular the Indian children will engage
SohN ouoioii, PoSoibAy
which the teacher can neither under
stand nor control, the fault lies not
with the child's knowledge and use of
his own idiom, but with the teachers
| ignorance of the same, and the remedy
will be found not in the repressive
measures, which must. because of their
unreasonableness, fail of their purpose,
but in the determined effort ON the
teachers part to acquire q knowledge
of the child's idiom.
Probably the traditional hostile at
titude of certain schools to the Indian
vernacular is responsible for the fact
that in q number of instances teachers
and other school employees continue at
the same school, working with the same
tribe Of Indians, without acquiring any
appreciable knowledge of the language
spoken at the homes of their children.
This ignorance frequently extends to
the customs, habits of life, and the his
torical development of the tribe in
question. They seem to treat the In
dams as outcasts, and the outcome Of
their work corresponds with this atti-
tude. Chicago Tribune.

Of work done on the claims by
them, in accordance with min

several fine specimens of gold
ore with him. He has mined
in the Wichita mountains at in
tervals since 1868, and says the
country there is rich in not
only gold, but silver, copper,
coal and other minerals. He is
familiar with the mineral laws
and says all talk of sending
I troops to drive the miners out
I is foolishness, as they are not
to be molested. There are over
100 people at work mining in
one company near where his
claim is located. He claims to
have knowledge of a syndicate
in the East that will, within the
next thirty days, enter the
mountains and begin mining.
