Indian Payment i'm Kansas.

Ottawa, Kas.-A stranger happen
TO be i'm Ottawa last Saturday would
have decided that the town is situat-
ed i'm the center of an Indian reser-
Walton. Indians were found on every
street, some wandering along singly,
while Others were in bands. There
were several hundred of them, few
of whom wore shawls over their
shoulders. They were well dressed,
and the longer they remained in town
the better dressed they became. They
adj had money and they were here to
spend it.
A government agent has been here
this week paying out the last annu-
dties to the Chippewas and Munsees.
I'm the week he has paid out $22, 900.
The payment of these annuities has
been conducted by the government
since 1860. The Chippewas came to
the west from Black Hawk River,
near Detroit, in 1859, having traded
Michigan lands for lands in this
county. The Munsees came down
from Leavenworth and the two tribes
were consolidated. The funds, amount
ing to $4,000, were taken in charge
by the government and since that
time until the present division of the
principal the Indians have drawn 8
per cent or more, in semi-annual
payments on the money. The Mum
sees still claim an interest in the big
government funds arising from the
sale of the northern lands. Before
this sum is paid guardians will pro-
baby will be appointed for the minor
children. of which there are " large
number.
The PAYMENT this week removes
the last trace of tribal relations
among the reservation Indians. It Is
thought they Will leave the reserva-
tiou and scatter ito all parts of the
country.

A Narrow Escape.

Nine. Morreni, who gives perform
ance with three trained jaguars at
the zoo every day had a marrow escape
for her life at the last performance.
The animals had not worked to suit
her during the day. and after the peo-
pie had departed for the day she de-
cided to take them into the arena for
a rehearsal. With growls and snarls
the animals left their place of c1nfine-
ment and were In the passa geway in
the rear of the circle of cages when
one of the attaches not knowing what
was going on th ghtlese' tur. ed
OF the gas which inuminates the pas

In the dark the jaguars sprang at
the woman They attacked her from
adj sides, but with a heavy whip she
managed to beat them back. The COM
motion extracted the attention of the
employees of the place and the lights
were turned ON. The animals then
started for THE arena without further
trouble. With the exception of a
scratch on the shoulder Nine. Morrelli
escaped unfnjured. Her clothing was
torn to shreds, however-The Indian

With chill enveloping every MEM

vanced and looked over his sisters
shoulder into the mirror.
He saw there the face of a man that
impressed him as being one of the
most attractive and reassuring he had
ever known. He summoned a matter
of factness of speech.
Looks as if he might be q mighty
fine fellow" he said briskly. But it's
odd of him to make your acquaint-
ance this way. If he wants to know
you why doesn't he come through the
front door?"
"Am L mad?" querrded Halle, gent
ly.
"Well," said her brother, mo more
than L am. But all the same we sail
for Europe next month"
His sister made no objections, and
as for the aparition it smiled and a
look of expectancy came into its eyes.
The journey up by Norway is mel
ancholy. The long days pass like
dreams, and before the eyes is ever a
sad and beautiful succession of pines
and chilly waters and long, myster-
ious reaches Of the sea, and deeps and
signing forests, and the lift of hills
whereon the fauns never danced. To
Halle and her brother it seemed like
something most unreal-like a dream
or the shadow of a dream. Moreover
Halle was impressed with a fearful
loneliness torturing, aggressive
loneliness. Lacking the sight of the
face she had come ITO lose, she was like
one who hungers in a desert.
One night when the vessel had put
tn at some little harbor, she stood
upon the deck watching the northern
lights. Streamers of crimson and
green shot from the ghostly north up
to the zenith and seemed to spill thedr
fluid upon the earth. Halle thought
the wondrous liquid must deluge the
ship. She stood agape and did not
notice that gentleman had crossed
the gang plank and was looking about
him for the purser till her brother
touched her arm. She turned to look.
At that moment the Aurora shone
white and lighted up the whole deck
with am unearthly radiance, and by
IT'S glory she beheld the man of the
mirror.
She smiled as one smiles who well
comes a loved one in at the gate of
paradise, and he advancing, held out
