feature was no more marked with them
than among the other bands" From
Mr.. Dunbar's own account of the social
organization Of the Pawnees, it appears
that with them the office of head chief
was hereditary, so that they had even
less claim to be called republic in their
own right than had some of the other
western tribes.
Lieutenant Pike, who in 1906 was the
first white man to visit and investigate
them, spoils the republic theory
"their government" he says, "is the
same as that of the Usage, an hereditary
aristocracy the father handing his
dignity of chieftain down to his son."
This is explicit, and may remove some
misconception of the explorers mean.
ing; for he is the very one who, by
persistent use of the expression "Pawnee
republic" must have given many readers
an idea of community resembling in
kind the Argentine republic, for example.
In only three cases, 80 far as the writer
has observed, does he speak of this
Indian town in any other way; once he
calls it "the Pawnee village ;" once "the
village of the Pawnee republic;" once
"the Pawnee republican village"
Others.
Among other old. timers who have left
observations to the purpose is old Jim
Beckwourth, who in the fall of 1920,
when he was young Jim, came to "the
Republican Pawnee villages" and found
them deserted for the winter. It is not
clear from his story where these villages
were; possibly on the Platte. The
missionary Parker in 1885 passed "the
villages of the Tapage and Republican
Pawnee Indians" two days west of the
Loup fork, on the Platte. The painter
Catlin, about the same year, found all
four bands dwelling few miles asunder
on the Platte and Colonel Inman says
that in 1885, discouraged over severe
defeat inflicted on them at Ash Hollow
by the Sioux, they abandoned all their
villages. including that on the Republi.
can river, and concentrated near the
mouth of the Loup, where buried re.
mains of ancient villages have been
found in great abundance ever since the
settlement of the country; scraps of
pottery, arrow heads and rotted posts,
on both sides of the Platte. Here they
in fact remained until 1874, when they
were removed to the Indian Territory
and there last year 664 of them still
existed, miserable relic of tribe that, it
was said, could in the early part of the
century raise O,OO0 to 10000 warriors.

trio Chair.

Leon Czolgosz has been found
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree under the Indictment returned
against him for the assassination
of President William Mckinley
The trial was remarkable for the
fact that there were no delays of
any character. The trial occurred
Tuesday.
The assassination occurred Sep
tember 6, and in less than fort
night the man accused of the
crime was given fair, impartial
and dignified trial and adjudged
to be guilty. He will pay the pen
atty in the electric chair at some
time to be designated when Judge
Truman White, the judge before
whom he was tried, shall formally
pass sentence upon him.
Czolgosz lost none of his indiff-
erent demeanor when the verdict
was returned. He sat stolid and
unconcerned when the verdict was
returned, not even lifting his eyes
to glance at the judge or jury.

1t is TO be ..hoped that the home
churches will.respond to our needs

world will rejoice in the result.
Personally, am very glad to
have been here to see this mighty
outpouring of the Spirit. When
it seemed that flesh and blood
would hold out no longer, have
had the sweet consciousness that |
am where God wants me to be. To
have taken part in the battle and
victory is a thing for which to be
forever thankful. One day we shall
have a redeemed Japan as the final
outcome of these feeble efforts,
backed by Gods power. Please
tell inquiring friends that / am
happy all the day long and gradu-
ally growing yOCnger. Two years
from now / hope to see you and can
tell you something which | cannot
at present write about this glorious
work. We observe from the papers
and occasional letters that there
are still some people at home who
spend a good deal of time in find
ing fault with the missionaries. 1t
is to be hoped that they enjoy it,
poor souls, fer they do not seem to
find any other happiness in all the
world. Box them up and send
them over here and we II give them
a dip that will cure their growing
about missionaries.
The last news from my wife and
the boys is cheering. The boys are
evidently making progress in their
studies.
Hoping to hear from you soon,

Printer Killed.

At Shelbyville William Hart,
son of John Hart, of Lebanon, O.,
was killed Saturday night week
by limbo Fields and Clarence Gar
nell, colored boys, nineteen and
fifteen respectively. Hart was a
journeyman printer employed tenn
porarily on the Shelby Sentinel .
During last year he was employed
on the Winchester papers, coming
from that place to this city where
he got work few days on the
Sentinel-Democrat. 1t seems that
he was drunk and had been lured
to the house of negro woman
and beat to death with rocks.
In speaking of this the Shelby
Record has the following editor
tally and to which we give space,
hoping the picture drawn Of the
sad ending of this young man may
cause some one to pause ere it is
too late:
Murdered while drunk and
helpless, in a place of sin and vice,
homeless and friendless, with his
own family caring too little to
claim his body, buried by those
that pitied rather than loved him
this is no fanciful sketch of a
drunkard' S end, but real case in
our midst. Where is there
stronger lesson of temperance than
this; yet, which is the more terri
BILE, the ending or the living under
the curse of drink that took him
from home and family and drove
him from place to place, torn by
the temptation, wrecked morally
and physically by the yielding? Is
not either terrible enough to bring
to his senses the man or boy who
thinks he can play with liquor?
Why risk so much when nothing
is to be gained?

Mrs. j (. d. TIPToN,
Mt Sterling, KY, U. S. A.

Dear Friend.'-I am writing this
from Sapporo, some 700 miles north
of Tokyo, to which place l have
come for little rest and to regain
health. l had no chance for rest
at all last summer nor the summer
previous, so that it had been three
years since i had been able to get
away from the debilltating effects
of the heat during July and Au
gust. An attack of the Grippe
which overlook me last January
left me not in good shape and re-
sponslbilities bringing great care
followed, which reduced my
strength below the safety point.
A month of rest here is doing much
for me and hope soon to return in
shape for good campaign this fall
and winter.
You have probably wondered why
| have neglected you so long, but
the truth is l had to drop much of
my correspondence and undertake
to carry only what must be done.
This was a necessity. / am the
loser thereby but cannot help it..
Please do not resolve to punish me
for it, but just heap Goals of fire on
my head by writing again soon.
My wife and our boys left me Is
months ago today and the interven-
ing time has been crowded with
work and care. No sooner had |
finished the erection of a large
school building in one section of
our work than / found my hands
full of preparation for the opening
of the new year and the pushing of

Tokyo early in May and swept the
city as it has never been swept be-

will have told you the details, but
you will rejoice to know that work

pushing conformity these meetings
in all the churches, with the result
that 5,309 persons definitely signed

wished to find the forgiveness of
their sins in Jesus Christ. Many

POOR, OVER-woRKED MAUD.
Maud Muller jumped on the
time-worn bike, for an evening hit
on the dusty pike. An old drop
frame of low down gear, with a
rattle the dead could hear. The
Judge came pounding along be-
hind, out airing his judicial mind.
He noted the figure, neat and trim,
and the graceful motion of the
hidden limb, and said to himself
in great delight, What's the mat
ter with Maud? She's all right
He rode up beside her and asked
her fiat, why she rode such an old
ice cart as that. And she said
that salesladies could i'll support,

less ride, with "a diamond frame, if
she'd be his bride. Or if she
would burst her solo life, they
would tandem together as man
and wife. Maud bit at the bait
like a hungry trout, and the old
man smiled as he yanked her out.
They ride on a tandem now, of
course, but Maud has to work like
tread-mill horse. For the Judge
has learned to sit and shirk, and

flew up through the atmosphere,
