THE CAYUsE TWINS.
History of Two Little Proposes ON
the Umatilla Reservation.

Peculiar interest attaches to the Cayuse
twins, from the fact that they are the Sec
ond pair ever born on the Umatilla Reser-
walton, and the only pair now alive. Their
being alive too, many assert, is contrary
to the dictates of Indian superstition, for
it is commonly believed that Indians never
permit twins to live. 1t is their belief that
twins are signs of the displeasure of the
Great Spirit; hence they are usually killed
as soon as born. Recently, on other reser-
vations, incidents have occurred tending to
establish the truth of the assertion that
Indians have a superstitious dread of twins.
In this instance, however, the Cayuse
tribe appears to have departed from the
custom of the past, and the twins, Tox-e-
lox and A-lom-pun are honored by being
permitted TO live.
Ala-we-a-him-yean (Skin-of-a-coyote)a and
Ha-hats-mox-mox ellowgrizzlybear) are
the parents. Ha-hats-moX-mox was subtle
ard cunning, and when he wanted his twins
to live and grow up to honor him in his old
age, he spread the impression among the
tribesmen that they came as good omen
for the nation.
He was an orator of no mean parts, and
induced the chief to call a potlatch. The
Cayuse nation assembled at the principal
lodge-that is, the men assembled, for, IL
the women were there ii was only by suf-
ferance They, of course, had no part in
the great council.
That two innocent human lives were at
stake weighed not an iota with these Indian
men. They must be reached through other
arguments. The tribes selfishness. as per.
sonified in the men, must be the means OF
saving the twins.
Ha-hats-mox-mcx made a speech. He
told the tribesmen how he had been far
away hunting the deer on the Little Minem;
how, in the night, when his cuitan was
grazing near by on the bunch grass and he
himself had laid down to rest, he had had
a vision. and in the vision had been prom
Used these twins, who were to be signs OF
good fortune to the whole tribe.
All Indian braves are great on visions"
and Ha-hats-mox-m worked his particu-
lar vision off on the tribe council, and the
twins lived.

MARKET DULL AND WEAK
CHICAGO WHEAT SHOWED LITTLE
ANIMATION AND NO STRENGTH.
Corn Declined I'm Sympathy and Oats

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Liberal receipts, poor

AG2sc under yesterday. Corn closed a
shade and oats sc lower; provisions IN
changed to NC higher.
May wheat opened at 6s%d6ec, a shade
over yesterdays close, the steadiness,
which was lost almost Immediately, being
accounted for by unseasonably moist
weather in the middle West and the fact
that the Liverpool decline was less than
the loss here yesterday. Longs, however,
discouraged by the poor export business
and the large stocks. particularly in the
Northwest, began selling at the opening
