son. the President, and the three vice
Presidents, Mrs Belle Prouty, MISS
Belle johnson and Miss Jennie Davis.
A great many of the members OF CallHa
Parlor would have arranged TO appear
in the procession, but as the booths at
the Park are all under their manage
ment they feel that they will have all
they can attend to.
The members of the committee hope
that no one will wait to be invited to
take part in the parade, but that all
who can and will do so will notify
either Miss BERTHE Groth, Grand
Marshal Scott Ennis. or any Native Son
or Daughter
The following prominent ladles ana
gentlemen have promised to decorate
their carriages and appear IN the pro-
cession: DR.. Girardy, Dr. Tebbets, Mr..

f. Drescher, o. F. Washburn.
About seventy-five others are also
thinking seriously of taking part in
the parade with decorated carriages. If
there are ladies who are thinking Of ap-
pearing on horseback, their names
should be sent at. once to the commit
tee, so that a suitable prize may be
offered.
The mothers who are thinking of en-
tering their children in the baby show
should send their names either to Mrs.
r. D. Finnie or Mrs. A. c. Kaufman.
The committee are very anxious to
have a large list of names sent to them,
and it is hoped that no one will delay
in this matter, but be assigned a place
at once There are to be three prizes,
one for the est-looking white baby,
another for the best-looking colored
baby, and still another for the best
looking Chinese baby.

rect in conversation, most genial and
responsive, and has fattering knowl-
edge of the country to which he is
accredited, its laws and internal af-
fairs. Like so many of the newly-ap-
pointed oriental ministers, he speaks
English fuently, having taken a de-
gree at Harvard. His service in the
diplomatic corps of his country has
been one of distinction and has won
for him rapid and well-deserved pro-
motion. He was especially valuable to
his government during the war between
China and Japan and as administrator
of the province of Antung made an en-
viable reputation. In regard to the
relations between this country and his
own. Mr.. Komura said shortly after
his arrival here:
"The political relations between
Japan and the United States are, i am
happy to say, of most cordial nature.
do not anticipate any friction over
the question of japanese residents of
Hawaii in the absorption of that gov
eminent by the United States. The Jap
anese laborers in the island will remain
subject to Japan and be regarded only
as sojourners, to return to their native
land when they have accumulated earn
ings. I cannot see anything in the flu
ture which threatens to disturb the
good feeling which now exists between
Japan and the United4States.''
Mr.. Komura lacks none of the at
tributes that make successful diplo
matist, and it is not to be doubted thai
the friendly relations at present exist
ing between the land of the mikado ant
the United States will be strengthened
during his residence here.

Paulian spirit, and, right or wrong, as
may be his views, his sincerity is ques-
toned by no one. DR.. Heron first
brought himself into public notice by
articles published in several religious
periodicals, among them an address
in the Christian Union, entitled 1.-THE
Message of Jesus to Men OF Wealth."
This was afterward used as booklet
by the Christian society. AT this time
DR.. Heron was pastor of small
church in an obscure town in Mime
sofa. He was called to be assistant pas
tor of the Congregational church at
burlington, Ia, and his ministry there
was very successful. He was installed
in Burlington in 1891, and from that
time his name became nationally fa-
nous. In 1893 DR.. Heron was made
professor Of applied Christianity in
Iowa college (CongregationaD which
was endowed for him by Mrs. T.. D..
Rand, of Burlington. Since his appoint
ment to this chair DR.. Heron has lee

Fifty feet Of rope made from human
hair is gbastly EVIDENCE Of the cruel
barharity OF the ln0ians who resisted
the enerpacbnla OF settlers in the far
nortlas ostern states aSquarter CT a cen
fury ago. This relic hangs in the hut
OF an cid Indian chief named lie Pier,
who lives in the Wanatehee vslisy. on
the Upper Columbia river.
"a There is, perhaps, no other lasso Ike
this one in all the world. 1t is q eraided
rope, three-quarters of an Incl thick,
made wholly of hair taken from white
women. Though the old Indian ii w al
lows but few people to see it, these who
have seen it say that it shows the
dark tresses of the brunette woman,
mingled with the brown and auburn,
and, in half a dozen places, yellow.
There are traces Of gray and white
twisted here and there in the strange
lariat, and ii is estimated that about so
women were scalped to make this fear
full relic, nearly all Of whom were sup
posed to be the wives or daughters of
settlers OF the Elaclsloot valley.
But this is not now believed to be
true. Old LIE Pier has told the story of
dow he became possessed of the lasso,
and is the generally accepted story,
although many q the settlers of the
Blackfoot valley have good reason for
believing they als correct in saying
that this hair was taken from their own
flesh and blood.

firmly believes it was made of hair
taken from the women killed at the
time, of whom her daughter and her
sister were victims.
Old lie Pier, however, says that he OBJ
tanned the material from which the las
SO was made few years before the
Washington massacre. A party of Nor
mon converts from the New England
states, numbering about 900, he says,
had crossed the Missouri river and were
far north of the usual route, hoping to
escape the Indians, who We're then in
Testing the overland trail.
(. These immigrants had camped near
the foot of the Black Hills range, as i'll
lis historically known. They were at
lacked by the Indians and were all mas
sacred except two girls, who after
wards escaped to Fort sully. Old LIE
Pier says that his tribe of Blackfeet
were at war with the Sioux, who raid
ed the Mormons, and when his people,
who were out looking for trouble,
learned of the raid and the rich treas
ure their rivals had acquired, they re-
solved to pay the Sioux long deferred
visit.
4 The fight was long and bloody, and
while the Blacllfeet were victorious,
they left many dead upon the field.
They secured all the booty, including
horses, wagons, clothing, and. in fact,
all that the Mormons possessed.
Among the things recovered Were the
scalps of the men and women of the
party who had been iSilled. Each scalp
was intact, and lie Pier appropriated
the scalps of the white women to his
own use, because he hair was long and
could be worked into ornaments.
This is how, SC he says. he came into
possession of the most wonderful col
lection of human hair ever brought to-
gether. 1t is evident from the work
nlanship on the lasso that it was not
done by the Sioux or Blacllfeet, but
rather by some Pacific coast Indian
many of whom are especially skilled in
hair work.
There is little doubt that the lasso
was made from the hair of the women
belonging to the Mormon caravan. {
majority Of whom came from the New
England states. although the middle
and southern Atlantic states were wei
represented. This is the overland par
ty that so mysterously disappeared il
the early Cos. and of which no trace
was obtained for nearly five years
when two girls, one about le ard on
about Z. were rescued from the Sioux
or rather exchanged for prisoners b,
Gen. Sully in 1866.
They-related the massacre of the par
ty by the Sioux. and told of the grea
fight between them and the Blackfeet
to this extent confirming the story o
old lie Pier that he obtained the scalp
CT the women at that time. Last sum
