sEEGM1LLER WANTS VOTES.
Republican Candidate Declares He
''Wants Them Bad
Especial to The Herald


Parowan, Utah. Oct 29.-The Smith
Meakin- Eldredge company held forth to-
day in this place to very small house,
and that included a number of children,
who perhaps had heard of the renowned
elocutionist and desired to hear him re-
cite some of his new pieces, as told about
by "Ole Pehrson," and there were also to
be seen at the meeting a number of Dem
ocrats-
But very little enthusiasm was aroused
throughout the proceedings, there being
occasionally a slight applause from two
or three in the assembly, and some addi-
tional from those on the platform.
Brother Seegmiller Republican candi-
date for the state senate, created some
little merrimcnt when he announced that
the people had known of him figuring
prominently in races losing some and
winning others. as the case might be.
But" said he, Il am now making the
race of my life, and 1 want your votes, -

ued, and l want them bad"

the earliest days. Restein gave me one
good example of what an Indian can go
through. A squaw reported that her
buck was missing. 1t was a bitter cold
night, and he had been missing all
night without any apparent reason. A
search was made, and he was found in
a shed under a heap of drifted snow
with jug of firewater by his side. APP
parently he was frozen carcass. The
squaw dragged him out and took him
to small lake, where a hole had been
dug in the ice for the cattle. She took
a pan and poured pailful after pailful
of the ice water over him. BY and by
she had him thawed out, and in a few
hours he was as lively as ever.

PARowAN's POSTMASTER.
Man Appointed Was Not the Choice
OF the PEOPLE.
fSnecial ID ala Herald.l

Parowan. oct. a9-In today's Herald it
is stated that Mr.. John r Mitchell has
been appointed postmaster for this place,
vice Mrs. s r. Matheson, removed. This
shows the one-man power that exists in
the Republican party. Mr.. Mitchell, We
are informed. was the chairman of Il Re
publican meeting. where the matter of
considering and recommending some per-
son for this position to the department
was taken UP, and 4ir. J. F. Burton, an
ardent Republican. was practically the
unanimous choice of that meeting for the
place. When it came TO certifying this
matter, We are told that Mr.. Mitchell re-
fused to sign the certificate OF nomina-
ton. and has now received the appoint
ment himself thus showing that the in
fiuence of one man has succeeded in OBJ
taining recognition of his superiors
against the wishes of the whole commu-
nifty, as the Democratic portion We're al
ready satisfied with the present incum-
bent, and the Republicans, as already
stated. had decided upon another per-
son.
From the present outlook, Iron county
will cast a good Democratic majority at
! the coming election, and with perhaps
very few exceptions, the whole ticket will
be elected.

THE TWILIGHT HOUR.


How sweet the dreamy. drowsy twilight
When evening doth her sceptre gently
And DER the world a peaceful calm doth
As darkening shades proclaim the close
When birds have ceased their happy ca
And homeward weary toilers wend their
way;
When fragrant flowers have closed their
pretty eyes.
Upon the cares attendant to the day.
IT'S then that music hath its sweetest
To cheer the sad and melancholy heart;
And to those souls N9.th grief and sin
bowed down,
1t doth new hope and peace of mind i'm
part.
Its duilest tones make love in every
And heaven appears not half so far
Bright angels seem to hover round our
And Danish all annoying thought of day.
We list enchanted to the plaintive strains
That bear orr minds to lands and climes
more bright,
Until the golden twilight vanishes
And when our eyes in tranquil slumber
When Sleep. the conquerer's. banner is
Sweet dreams of love and joy still come
And visions of purer better world

SUTHERLAND AT KAYsvILLE.

B 81. Roberts.
lSneciaI ID The HeraId.l

Kaysville. Oct. S1.-A Republican rally
was held here tonight. George Sutherland
of Salt Lake and Jesse n. Smith of Lay
ton were the speakers. About so voters
attended, although the audience num-
bered about 100.
Mr.. Sutherland took the position that
silver was not an issue in this campaign
and spent three-quarters of an hour dis
cussing it. He then spoke of the tariff
and followed with the sort of TRADE the
Tribune presents each day. He asserted
that Eldredge was 4 silver man.
Smith spoke briefly. He said his in
vestment in Repubicanism was the best
he had ever made, because he was a
sheep owner.

The Indians of the northwest are
good eaters. Restein told me that they
could eat many times as much as a
white man, and that the men who hold
eating records at the dime museums
and elsewhere would be foolish to try
conclusions with the average Indian.
On one, occasion Restein and his friends
had killed buffalo calf, and, dressing
it, had hung it up, when an Indian ar
rived at the camp and asked for hos
pitality. He had evidently Travelled a
long way, and was hungry. The trap
pers told him to help himself, and he
did. He cut off some slices of meat
and laying them on the embers of the
fire ate them as soon as they were
scorched. The hunters went to sleep.
When they awoke in the morning the
buffalo calf was gone. During the
night the Indian had eaten it, every bit,
as he explained when asked to account
for it's disappearance After that Re
stein never told an Indian to help him

Talking of the honesty of the Indian,
it is a. curious fact that many of them
object to pleading mot guilty when
tried in the United States courts. They
do not understand that it is only a
phrase. A typical case occurred be
fore the United States commissioner at
ST. Paul, when a Chippewa was brought
up for selling whisky to other Indians.
When arraigned he PLEADED guilty. The
commissioned, an inexperienced man,
knowing him to be a pagan, and be-
lieving him to be drunk, thought it
best to not enter that plea. But the
Indian cried out: Il am guilty. Any
man who says he isn't guilty when he
is guilty is a - liar" There could be
no answer made to this.

The endurance of the Indian is well
known. His stoicism is as great as
that of the East Indian fakir. The most

audience, he is sure of appreciation.
They regard his feats with mixed Won
der and awe. The prestidigitateur is
looked upon as a wonderful medicine
man, for superstitions still survive
among the redskins. There was one
entertainer of this kind, of whom Re
stein tells, who much delighted an old
chief in his audience at Rat Portage
by changing water into wine, making
things appear and disappear, and other
simple bits of parlor magic. The
prestidigitateur was invited to visit the
chief The latter wanted him to live
with the tribe, and offered him his
daughter as bride in exchange for only
two ponies. 1t was cheap enough for
wife, but the magician, being already
married, declined the honor. While
with his host he went up to an ugly
yellow cur belonging to the chief and
proceeded to extract dollars from his
tail, removing about 20 in all by his
/ sleight-of-h Then he offered the
chief two ponies for the dog. The
chief refused and was pleased to have
the magician depart so that he could
get dollars from the dogs tail. When
the prestidigitateur left, the Indians
| first tried to get dollars from the ours
caudal appendage, and then took the
cur and cut it open. They were dis
gusted when they failed to find a single
dollar inside of it.

Simple-minded and SupersuuouS,
But Full of Natural Cunning.
Basil Restein, the French-Canadian
hunter and trapper, who is fairly well
known in the northwest. told me sew
eral good Indian stories not long ago,
when 7 met him at q small motel at
Pembina, n. D., writes James Martin
in the Chicago TimeS-Herald. The old
race of trappers OF which Restein is q
type is rapidly disappearing before the
settlement of the west and the exhaus-

and in all his moods. ReStein had many
dealings with the ChiDpewas, and by
him they were regarded as peaceabie
and honest
One of the stories he had was of the
ChipDewas and a former attempt to
move them to a new reservation. AT
the time OF the Sioux attack on Fort
Ripley in 1862, the Mile Lac Chiooe-
was assisted the white men and came
to their defense. The secretary Of the
interior and the state of Minnesota
were grateful for this assistance, and
nrcmised that as a reward the Mile
Lac Chippewas should never be remov
ed, but should have the special protec-
ton OF the government. 1t was only
few years later, though, that the in
terror department sent a special agent
to the reservation, to endeavor to per-
suade them to move from Mile Laos to
north of Leech Lake. There was quite
a powwow, and the special agent failed
in his effort, when one of the best
known men in Minnesota came to his
aid. This man. whose name l do not
