GENUINE SANTA CLAUS.

Atlanta has a genuine sure enough practical Santa Claus in MT. George E. Johnson, young merchant of that city, who for several years past has given a box of candy to every poor child who has called at his store for it--and who proposes to do the same thing this year. It is needless to say that MT. Johnson is the most popular merchant in Atlanta, and the good seed which his generous heart dictates to him to cast upon the waters, has returned to him fourfold.-- Selma Journal M

UPRISING" OF THE ChEYENNES.
People Who Have Guns and Can Sh DOT
Arc Not Afrnid of The M.


The people who live~in the Powder
river country are accustomed to the re-
ports Of Indian uprisings.> The scares
have their beginnings in small events.
The. one in 1884 was started by two
drunken cattlemen, who were. sitting
in o house when three Indians came
riding up the road on their ponies.
One Of them, who had been drinking
more than was good for him.. made a
bet that he could raise the hat from
the head Of ono of the approaching
Indians with his rife without scalping
: HIM So he openedGre, and heidi raise
the Indians hat but heshot q triiie too
low and creased his'sealp, not hurting
him seriously, but starting the blood
and making the Indians angry. They
rode away, and that night came with
q band of their companions and burned
the ranch houses down., The residents
of that section organized a. posse Of
200 or 800 and went after the Indians
in earnest, but the men who fired the
ranch were subsequently surrendered,
land the affair quieted down without
more bloodsEed.
The Cheyennes then had little set
Element on Otter creek, at it's confluence
with the Tongue river. Afterward q
lot more of their tribesmen joined them,
and there a mission was established for
them, where tn egevsrnment now takes
scare of them. At that time they were
not cared for at all, and their only
means Of living was by hunting and
stealing. They were treacherous and
undesirable as neighbors. They would
always look around when they made n
visit to n rancho to see whether there
was any erms around, and if there were
not they would set upon the people
and rob them Of everything they had
) in broad daylight before their eyes. If
they met man ON a horse on the ranch
who was not armed they would set him
,nfoot ON the spot snd take his horse and
outfit along with them.
They are the same Indians who took
part in the raid in Nebraska and after
ward participated in tho Custer mas
'sacre.. The Cheyennes are not par
ticularly high class of Indian, though.
They are.-not especially brave, and I
never saw. ono who was good shot.
They are rapidly Diminishing in num-
beers. The locality where they ore now
was once a fine hunting ground, but
that day is gone. They are fed by the
government and furnished with some
of the comforts Of civilization, but for
the most part they rotain their original
customs from preference: They live in
houses part OF the time, but ent on
the ground when tables are furnished
them, and in many other ways show
reluctance to enter into the spirit Of
the government in It's efforts TO civilize
them.--Helena CMont.) independents

The balloon was keen sight to wit
ness, for when all the gas escaped it
came together like lump of earth
and descended with such force that
were it to strike the grand stand many
people would now be bathing in lager
beer, but luckily, however, it came
down at the east end of the grand
stand with resounding thud and
famed the peanut vendors stand, and
people near by, with swish that they
will not likely forget for some little
time.
Fortunately, there was not an acct
dent or hitch to mar the whole per-
Torrance. The exhibition was a fair
one, and Of course people were dis
appointed in not seeing the triple

THE RACES.
Three Excellent Speed Contests During
the Afternoon

1hree Excellent speed Contests Durin z
the Afternoon
The principal attraction of the after
noon was the programme Of races.
There were three on the card and all
were finished. The first two were very
interesting, but the final race was an
easy thing for Atlantic, Jr, who won
in straight heats. The $50 pace was
won by Hal, who made excellent time.
The track was in splendid condition for
racing. The 2:1S pace was the best
event of the afternoon. 1t was won by
Lady Pipes, Mt. Vernon, O., FLY,
who promises great things in the flu
ture. She is just three years old, and
her performances on the track yester-
day afternoon excited the admiration
OF all the veteran horsemen.
There was bad spill in the first heat
OF the Els pace. On the lower turn
Birdy Dickerson's sulky was upset and
the driver thrown on the track. Joe
Brister was coming up behind and got
mixed up with the wreck. Driver
Hanke was thrown out with consider
able force, while the horse continued
around the track without driver.
Mr.. Hanke was picked I'D and carried
off the track. DR.. r. o McNasters
was called from the grand stand. and
made an examination of his foot find
ing that he had sustained a fracture of
his foot. which will probably cause =
permanent lameness.
The races We're. conducted with COM
mendable promptness. The officials. all
