THEIR LAST GHOST DANCE
kiowa and Comnnche Indians CeIa.
brating Their Departure


WICHITA, Kan, June Is-The Kiowa
and Comanehe Indians are now holding
their annual ghost dance on their reser.
walton in Oklahoma. This dance Is NOT
able from the fact that the Kiowa and
Comanehe reservation has Just been pur-
chased by the United States. and will SOON
be thrown open to white settlement. over
ten thousand farms of 100 acres each will
be given away to homestead men. who are
required to pay only $3.50 an acre within
nve years. The race for the new homes
will take place within the next few
months
The kowas and Commanehes, who have
occupied this reservation for the last
quarter-century. have not advanced in the
ways Of civilization in the least II any
thing, Agent Patrick says, they have re-
trograded
The Kiowas and Comanches are two of
the few tribes who yet indulge in the
ghoSt dance, for they have never for a
moment given up the religion taught by
the prophet Of the Piutes. This q ,ophet.
whose name was Wovoka, ten years ago
created much ey itement among the In
dians by saying that he had died and gone
up to heaven. where he was allowed to
talk with God. He said that God had told
him to tell the Indians that he was soon
coming among them and would destoy all
the whites and resurrect the dead Indians
and all the game
The Indians sent delegates to visit Wo-
yoka, or the Messiah, as they call him
He told them long stories of his visit and
they were superstitious enough to believe
every word These delegates returned to
their people and exaggerated the impor-
tance of the Messiah. They said he was
just like the white mans Jesus. and told
how he had shown them the scars on his
feet and hands.
Wovoka also taught them the ghost
dance. This dance was 10 last six days
and nights. The dance was to be joIne5 in
by all the Indians of the red race. ana
after awhile the Messiah would call on
God to keep his word. The Indians ali
obeyed and the dance was kept I'D for
nearly year in all the tribes Of the North
and West, but the end OF the world ala
not come. Then sons of the more edu-
Gated Indians denounced Wovoka as false
prophet and quit the dance. But the Kio-
was. Comanches, Arapahoes. and Southern
Sioux did not give up the dance. ane
every June they hold big ghost dances on
their reservations in Oklahoma As thAH-

merous and conflicting rumorS
about the affair, added TO the tact
that the negro seemed to have
made good his escape, the matter
had assumed shape far from sat

his own confession, was guilty OF

sheriff, and he. does not unde-

1t the sheriff had called the alten-

his arrest and conviction. In cases
OF this kind the governor has

Health Board Bulletin.

The monthly bulletin of the state
board of health for February is ready
TO be sent out. 1t contains the usual
tables of the mortality statistics of the
month by counties, geographical districts
and by cities and towns. The bulletin,
in speaking of smallpox, says the cpl
demic began to recede about the middle
of the month. 1t says: "After the work
of suppression began in earnest at Clay
City and in the southern portion of
Clay county, there was a marked de-
crease until by March there were left
only twenty-five cases in the three in-
fected townships, whereas at the begin

cases in Clay City alone" All the re-

George ID. Adams told why he refused
to sign the same petition, expressing
the opinion that a mistake had been
made both by the petitioners and by the
council. He holds with others that
more harm than good has been done by
the agitation, by bringing the play too
prominently before the public. 1t has
resulted in phenomenally large sale of
the book, "Sapho," which is said to be
even worse than the play. Prominent
citizens, Mr.. Adams says, have declared
themselves of the opinion that immoral
plays should be suppressed, but he con-
tends that In this instance the petition
ers had gone about it in the wrong way
and had thus defeated the purpose
which they sought to accomplish.
