SCHOOLS OPENED.
The Attendance Is Away Below the Average
for Beginning Of Term.

The North Yakima schools opened
this week with all the teachers present
excepting Prof. +. II. Plumb OF the Cen
trail school, who was in the east on ac-
count Of his wife's death. The attend
ance has been unusually small for the
opening of the term on account of the
harvesting season not being over and
the nearness of the State Fair. In the
High school l9l pupils were enrolled, in
the Columbia l26 and in the Central 2l5,
making total Of 672 pupils. This is less
than one-half that will be enrolled after
once the children all get started. Last
year the total number enrolled was
1900. The number will be increased
this year, as a part of the Mob Hill dis
trict has been taken in by County Sup
erintendent Dickey. This matter was
decided last week, but the boundary
line of the district will not be fixed till
next Saturday. Following is complete
list of the teachers selected for the year

The school board held its regular meet
ing Monday night. The matter of the
resignation of Mrs. Henrietta Engart OF
Seattle as teacher of the 9th grade was
taken up and discussed at some length.
Her case had been referred to the state
superintendent who could revoke her
certificate if so he wished. Mrs. Engart
was profuse in explanation of her actions
and came on to see the directors person
ally about it. She begged to be let off
as light as possible, and in view of the
fact that she had been punished enough
for violating her contract the board
dropped the case and accepted the resig-
nation.
The board decided to lengthen the
time of the noon intermission from one
hour to one hour and half. Hereafter
the janitors will be required to remain
in the school buildings during noon
hour. The following bills were paid !:
Atkinson & Mentzer, SO. so; +. NJ. Lane,
$22. so; Yakima Hardware Co., $30.55.
The school board has decided to close
school one Of the afternoons during state
fair week

Give Our side a Chance

In our article OF today taken from the
Men in Theatricals, we notice that "A
Wise Woman" is going to make few
stops before starting run in San Fran
cisco. Now why can't we have this
company stay one night with u.s. They
surely must have first class company
to contemplate an extended run in the
western metropolis. Such a company
would be relief. Give us chance.

Freight Wreck.

Sometime during Tuesday night three
cars of freight train jumped the track
at Wenas and stopped traffic on the road
for several hours. The cause of the ac-
cident was the breaking of brake
beam. The o:l0 east-bound and the
2 :23 west-bound were held till S a. m.

name inhabiting the country at it's

'Missouria,' which probably accounts for
the popular pronunciation, 'Mizzourah.'
quote from RAIDERS History of Mis-
souri,.
" In 17O5 a prospecting party of
Frenchmen ascended the Missouri river
to where Kansas City is now located.
This was the first ascent of this noble
river by white men. It was first called
Pek-i-ta-nou-i, by Marquette, which is
an Indian word meaning muddy water
About 1712 it was first called Missouri
from the name of tribe of Indians who
inhabited the country at it's mouth and
along considerable portion of it's banks.
There is no authority for the often re-
peated assertion that Missouri means
muddy This definition of the word
was given it after the name of the river
was changed from Pekitanoui to Mis-
souri,"

INDIAN NEBRASKA.

The CONSERVATIVE is in receipt of a
very obliging note from Mr.. James P.
Dunlap of Dwight, Nebraska, relative
to Indian remains. Dwight is in the
southeast corner of Butler county, about
three miles from where a very early
map, published in Cincinnati, showed
an coax Grove City," which seems
never to have existed.
Mr.. Dunlap says that two miles east
of Dwight is the site Of an old Indian
village, where in the early days of set
tlement, numerous relics were to be
found on the prairie broken pottery,
arrow heads and the Jumps of flint from
which arrow-heads were Clipped off.
They used to notice also, he says, piles
of rock on the ridges, surrounded by
mussel-shells and broken pottery: evil
IDENTIFY camping places, where, as Mr..
Dunlap puts it, the Indians chad cooked
mussels and broken dishes and had
good view of the surrounding country
while they were at it," Relics are no
longer plentiful, he says, but the circle
of an old building is still visible, and
there used to be the rotten remains of
centre-post. This was on hill which
commanded the country for some dis
tance about and was near to water.
Savannah.
Mr.. Dunlap speaks further of spot
in section 10, township 16, range east,
"Old Savannah, ''where there were many
remains of the circular lodges of the Ind
ians, which have now been plowed over
for many years: this would be in
the middle of the north border of
Butler county, on the Platte river. Also

the city Of York
as it's centre, contains q population
of 826,431 or N 34-10O per cent of the
entire population of the state, as shown
by the 1900 census.
Outside of this circle the entire popu-

the census, 10000, or about 10 per

The establishment of normal school
at point where this longitudinal line
would cross any of the railroads would
accommodate less than 10 per cent of
this number, or approximately less than
per cent of the states population. Such
location, owing to the lack of communi-
cation from the standpoint of transpor-
tation, would require travel to be SO
circuitous as to make it more expensive
to students residing on any other than
the road upon which the school was 10.
Gated than the fare to the normal at
Peru.
The Board of Trustees of the Normal
at Peru estimates that 6O,14O will be
required the next two years for current
expenses alone, and the sum of $75, 900
is asked for additional facilities. This
would be the same if there were two
other schools located in the western part
of the state and they, too, would soon
be making similar demands for money,
all of which foreshadows the danger and
penalty attending such propositions
The Governor should veto all the
abnormal demands now being made for
new and not needed normal schools. The
primary object of the asked-for ap-
preparations is purely selfish and not
public one.

of the remains of Notifications two
miles south of Linwood Tin the north
east corner of the same county, where
Skull Greek leaves the hills, ON the east
side. These are mentioned in Mr..
George D. Browns History of Butler
county to 1875, in Volume Nv of the
Historical Society's reports, where the
antiquities of the region are briefly
touched upon.
The Pawnee Fort.
Mr.. Dunlap gives some interesting
particulars of these earthworks. He
says that in the COS they were still some
ten feet high, ha wing large opening, land
with many pits inside the inclosure. He
gives also the Pawnee account Of them:
that these pits were dug down to water,
and answered the double purpose of fur
nishing water supply and sheltering
the women, children and young ponies;
that they were moreover covered, and
provided with holes to shoot out at, and
that they were to have been their last
refuge in case the enemy gained the
outer walls. He says the Pawnees used
to speak of the Sioux as the ones against
whom these provisions were made, and
to say that they defeated them; but the
reference can hardly be to any particu-
lar fight, since the warfare between
these two tribes was continuous. The
evidence indicates that, as Mr.. Dunlap
understood, the Pawnees were always
too much for their northern neighbors,
at least in defending their own homes;
though surrounded as they were by
hostile tribes, and especially as they
were directly in the line of the white
mans immigration, their destruction
was more swift and complete than that
of any other large nation.
1t is said that there were number of
places in that same section of the state
which were esteemed particularly big
medicine by the Pawnees. One was a
hill on the south side of the Platte op-
posite Fremont, where there was a
whirlpool, whatever that may have
been. Another was on an island in the
Platte "near the Lone Tree" There
was stage station known as Lone Tree,
the present Columbus. The third was
on the west side of the Loup, under a
high cut bank at the mouth of Cedar
river. All these spots were held in
superstitious awe by the Pawnees. Can
any of the The CONSERVATIVES readers
give any news of their present condi-
tion? Or are there any high school
boys who can be got to devote some
Saturdays to this investigation?
