PLEASED THE KAWS.
Indians Celebrate the Victory of
Curtis Over Bailey.

Guthrie, 0. II, March 2.-The Kaw IN
dian reservation, situated seventy-five
miles north of here, in the fertile valley
of the Arkansas river, is the scene this
week of the most unusual celebration
ever INDUCED in by the tribesmen. The
victory of Congressman Charles Curtis
in the Republican primary elections of
the First Kansas district is being rati-
fed.
In the cases of only two men is the
Indians rule of persistent indifference
to the political affairs of the t'palefaces"
violated. They hold in proper awe the
Great Father at Washington" but the
place they accord to Curtis, through
whose veins courses the blood of their
tribe, is not second even to the position
of the Great Father" They regard
the success of the Kansas congressman
as special recognition of their tribe.
When the report of the Curtis vic
tories reached the reservation the chief
directed that the drums and tom-tomS
be brought out from their winter quar-
ters and all of the braves assembled.
Then the latest news from the hotbed
of Kansas Republicanism was an
nounced and the red men gave vent
to the widest demonstrations of en-
thusiasm. Without the holding of a
preliminary caucus and upon the first
ballot it was decided to begin a eele-
bration to last week, and for several
days past the reservation has been the
scene of extraordinary activity.
The drums and tom-toms were
brought into use again yesterday, and
the dance was on. Defying a cold
nOrther, which was almost a blizzard
the braves entered upon their celebra-
ton, which, for manifestations of de-
vout religious fervor, is rivaling the
sacred annual events of the Kaws
Upon all of the deities known to the
tribes lore are being lavished praise
and Thanksgiving because of the. vic
tory of KaW. A red man played with
a paleface in the game of politics, and
beat him at his own game.
The most interesting feature of the
first days celebration was the securing
of a large lithograph picture of big
Chief Charley''-as the Kaws affection
ately call hinn-which was set in the
center of the ring to be saluted by the
dancers. These exercises We're not be-
gun, however, until the picture had
been properly adorned for the occa-
sion. The work of decoration was in
trusted to the squaws To the litho-
graph face was applied a generous
quantity of blood-red paint, and lib
eral application of the same cOlOring
was made to the parting of the hair. In
smaller quantities green and yellow
paint were daubed upon the coat of the
picture, to destroy the solemn black
effect, and make it more in keeping
with its surroundings upon the reser-
walton. This work completed the bucks
and squaws-200 strong Joined in the
ring and danced. the while giving voice
to their songs of praise and thanksgiv-
ing, to the accompaniment of the drums
and tOm-tOmS.
An hour after sunrise and an hour be-
fore sunset, while the celebration con-
tinues, the braves lneel before the pic
ture and salute it. At night they smoke
the pipe Of peace, typifying the action
which Curtis and his late opponent will
take in the coming campaign.

of the state of Utah in convention as
sembled solemnly affirm that the peo-
pie of this state have kept faith with
the nation and repels upon their behalf
all charges to the contrary as false
and misleading. Therefore we deplore
the action of the congress of the United
States in refusing to administer the
oath of office to the member elect from
this commonwealth"
Van Cott of Salt Lake City, moved
to strike this clause from the resolu-
tions, saying that its adoption would
lose votes for the party.
Moses Thatcher spoke for the adop-
tion of the clause, and in a lengthy
speech said that the good faith of the
state had been attacked by congress,
and the convention should not hesi-
tate to make an expression on that
subject
Other speakers strongly supported
Van Colts motion and a general de-
bate was precipitated.
Alfales Young. of Salt Lake, claimed
that the question should not be injected
into the platform unless the convention
decided either to commend or censure
the action of congress.
j. r. I-etcher, of San Juan county,
opposed the clause, and said he re-

the subject he was entirely mistaken

The Atchison Globe quotes Cyrus Le-

There is an element in the First dis
trict that is happy if the result of the
election can be shaped in the form of a
defeat for me. My own county went for
Bailey by a good majority. Bailey's
county went for him: every precinct
was carried by him. In Atchison coun-
ty We expected nothing. The Missouri
Pacific railway, Bale Waggener and all
the Democrats were backing Seaton and
Curtis. We didn't expect anything other
than what we got. And what does the
result in Atchison amount to anyhow?

The Eminent Kidney

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result OF kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the alburnen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's

The visit of D. N. Heller and

Cyrus Fliesher, has been an unusu-
ally interesting one, as 1t brings
together again the blood OF the
old Harper and Fleisher families

way from Old Virginia for about a
Century. Mrs. John Trimble was
Hannah Harper daughter of Leon
ard Harper, who was the sonof ia.
cob Harper, who was son OF Adj
am, who acquired land on South
Branch as early as 1865, and prob
ably settled in Pendleton County
at a much earlier date. Cyrus
Fleisher's father was Adam Fleish-
err, son of Benjamin Fleisher. who
was son of Maj. Henry Fleisher,
who came FROM Germany in the
Ship Phoenix, in 1742, and settled
on South Branch soon after, i'm
mediately above and adjoining the
old Adam Harper plantation.
Mr.. Heizer's great grand father
was Adam Harper Jr. a Son>of Ad-
am Harper and was born on South
Branch in 1865, the same year that
the record shows Adam Harper's
first ownership in land.
Mr.. Heizer's great grand mother
wasBarbara Fleisher, sister OF
Major Henry Fleiser, and she and
Adam Harper were married on
South Branch in the year 1856,
and in 1905 migrated with fami-
ly of nine children to Ross County
Ohio, where they were pioneers in
| the wilderness.
A son Jacob Harper, in 1S49
moved to Des Moines Co. Iowa,
his children having preceded him
as pioneers in the early settlement
of that Territory. and Mr.. Heller
who lives at Colorado Springs Colo.
