thrown upon her own resources to q
great extent, owing to the feeble con-
dition of her husbands health, which
has given her training and experience
which, in connection with her sound
sense and upright character, fit her for
almost any public position of trust and
responsibility.
She was married to William o. Camp
bell in 1865. After the birth of their
Illinois, where they spent few years.
In 1875, owing to the ill-health of her
husband, they went to the Pacific coast,
where she spent some time in Eugene,
Ore, teaching music.
The continued i'll health of her hus-
band, caused by long service in the
civil war, called for another change
of climate, and in the fall of '72. they
were commissioned by the United
States government to take charge of
the government school upon the Nez
Perce Indian agency, where they re-
manned for nearly five years. That
they might better educate their boys,
they resigned their position and went
to Boise, Idaho, which has since been
their home. Mrs. Campbell is a prom
inent worker in the Relief corps, hav-
ing served as department secretary and
chairman of executive board.
At the convention which nominated
Mrs. Campbell as representative she
received 72 of the 70 votes. During the
campaign, however, the battle waxed
hot, there being bitter fight against
her because she was woman. The
saloon and sporting elements had said
that no woman should sit in the legis-
larure, and with all the money at their
command did their utmost to defeat
her, but in spite of their efforts she
was elected.

INDIAN STATE FAIR.
!Piutes at Pyramid Lake, New, Hold
High Carnival.
Shcy Are Great Gamblers ana Put
Up Their Last Cent on Races of
various KinIs-Their Dances
Are sad shows.

This has been n "fandango" week
among the Piutes on the Indian reser-
ration about Pyramid lake in Nevada.
The tide of prosperity which has swept
the country seems TO have reached the
,Piute Indian, and he is celebrating its
advent, or return, and declares he is do
ing we'll and having a rip-roaring good
time.
For weeks past, says the Chicago
journal, the redskins of the plains have
been making elaborate preparations for
and looking forward to the great 'In-
dian state fair" as they now call it, or
she grand fandango," as it has been
heretofore known. Just beyond the
post traders store, outside and to the
north of the agency grounds, in about
the deepest sand that could be found in
the vicinity, the Piutes put up their
iseepees, wickiups, and temporary abid-
ing places of all kinds and descriptions,
and on Saturday declared the "fair"
open.
The Piute "400," together with about
1000 other ordinary, more or less dirty,
rather good-for-nothing, altogether
lazy Indians, were on hand and con-
spicuously in evidence almost contin-
.ually throughout the week. 1t was
probably the largest gathering and
most extensive demonstration the
Piutes have had since their last war, in
.7s60-61, when Maj. Ormsby, Capt. Storey
and Lieut.. Meredith were defeated and
Killed near the scene of the present
iandango.
The festivities Of the week consisted
principally of horse races, baseball and
football games, dances. numerous
games of chance, contests in feats of
strength, and other games and contests
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-06-22

strictly Piutian in character, like
'.Piute poker" and "Nyuque," or the
',stick game" as some call it. The
ilsual programme was about as follows:
Commencing early in the forenoon. a
horse race or ball game; during the aft
!ernoon another; throughout the day
and until the dance starts at night,
numerous and diversified games of
chance, in which parties of all squaws,
MI bucks, or a congregation of both
lake part, on which they wager any
thing and sometimes everything they
have and around which large crowds
gather to watch the sport; between
eight and nine o'clock at night the
dances start and continue usually until
daylight, all other games being for the
time suspended.
If one comes to Pyramid lake to
lcarn from the Indians that state fairs
or horse races may be successfully con-
Quoted without the evil of the betting
ring, he will be most woefully disap-
pointed. The Piute is, above everything
clse, q natural born gambler. The In
dams have no regular bookmaker or
pool-seller, and no "touts" to assist in
rohbing the public, but every Piute has
his choice and he backs it, and backs it
high
The races themselves are grotesque.
They have no high-salaried judges to
draw fine distinctions in favor of the
masters of the track. The whole crowd
of Piutes decides who has won, and
they make no mistakes.
The other games in vogue among the
Piutes, while nearly all betting games,
are of the simplest character. "Piute
poker" the favorite game With both
back and squaw, is more like simpli-
fieation of casino than any other Amer
Scan game. Yet an aggregate of large
sum of money changes hands on this
game every month. stick" or
Anyugue," as the Indians call it, has
strong resemblance to the children's
game of button, button, WHO'S got the

paniment of yells, howls and beating of
sticks.
Though they usually dance all night,
they have but two dances. One is the
'Que-que" dance, which is supposed to
be a celebration of the annual run of the
9ue-que fish, large numbers Of which
are caught daily at this time of the
year in the Trukee river and in Pyra-
mid lake. In its performance as many
ms wish to-sometimes 200 or 300 In
Eians-form in circle, shoulder to
shoulder, ard to the time Of a doleful
chant, sung by number of the partici-
pators In the dance, all move sideways,
the entire circle moving in the direction
the hands of a clock move. The pace
accelerates until at signal, which
sounds like the twittering of a tree frog
and which is passed around the circle,
all commence to hop sidewise, dragging
their feet through the sand. This time
seems to have an acceleration mark
orer it, and continues apparently until
they get tired, when a few minutes
rest is taken, after which the dance is
repeated and repeated again, some
tfmes for hours.
