The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-08-30

The mayoralty question in this
city is still a perplexing one, and one
that is giving the leaders Of the Re
publican party much worry and con-
Germ. While it is some six months
or more before the mex municipal
election in Seattle, nevertheless it
is giving the party much worry as to
whom it will name that will prove
winning candidate. Tom Humes,
as susal, is a standing candidate,
and he and his friends are working
to that end. The opposition to him
have not concentrated on any one
yet, and the prospects Of them do
ing so are quite remote. If the OPP
position fails to defeat Mr.. Humes
at the primaries and in the conven-
ton, the Republicans, for the most
part, will vote for him under the
lash, unless it should happen that
the Democrats would nominate a
man whom the Republicans could
consistently support, which is not at
all likely. 1t is always customary
for the Democratic party to nomi-
nate some man who in the
past made himself conspicu-
Gus as a Cheap John ward
politician and who has damned
the Republican party without cause
or reason, and this is most likely to
be the case at the next municipal
Democratic convention. And when
the Republican voters are given two
evils to choose from, they will al
ways choose the Republican evil in
preference to the Democratic one.
With all due respect to Mr.. George
F. Cotterill as a man and a brother,
the Democratic party would have
won the last municipal fight had it
not nominated man who was com
pletely overrun with politicalisms
and reforms. What the Republicans
should do is to concentrate on man
in opposition to Tom Humeism and
whether he be acceptable to this and
that political clique and this and
that political faction, should cut no
figure, but all should support him
with vengeance, and il this is done
there will be no more show for Mr..
Humes to run the political gauntlet
next spring than there would be for
lump Of ice to fly through hades.
Speaking about Senator Preston
being elected to the United States
senate, number of persons have ac-
costed the Pie-maker this week and
fully agreed with last Fridays arti-
Gle touching this point. While no
enmity was held up against Mr..
Preston on account of his senatorial
ambition, yet the consensus Of opin-
ion Of those who talked with the Pie
maker on the subject was that Mr..
Preston seemed peculiarly fitted to
go on the bench instead Of to the
senate, and they sincerely hoped
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-08-30

While the Pie-maker has not con-
suited Governor McGraw as to his
connection with the Harold Preston
senatorial boom, as was charged by
the Oregonian, he, however, is Of the
opinion that the governor is taking
no part either in Mr.. Preston's SEN
atorial boom or Mr.. Anyone Else's.
Some time ago, while talking to the
governor concerning politics he la
conically remarked: Ppm out Of pol
tiles for all time to come, and with
out being discourteous to you, I
trust you will not bother me with
it again soon" Governor McGraw
is attending strictly to his own bus
mess these days, and the Pie-maker
thinks that the newspaper scrib-
blers should permit him to CON
tinue doing so. Governor McGraw
was not even in the campaign of
1900, the Times and the Populist
party to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, and the little that he did do he
was prevailed upon by those at the
head Of affairs to do. He demur-
red to taking any part in the cam
paign, but he was pressed into SER
vice at the county and state conVen-
tons where his work was needed.
During the campaign he took no
part whatever in the proceedings,
further than what any good citizen
would take by attending the meet
ings and using his personal infu-
ence with his friends to support the
ticket from top to bottom.

Current Comment.

WOOL The mills generally continue to
exhibit every sign Of sound and whole
some condition. Such clearance sales as
have been made of odds and ends OF winter
stock have shown that buyers q o easily
tempted by slight concessions. More and
more goods usually used by men are max
ing their appearance in women's garments,
and the inquiry for wool instead of cotton
fabrics by the manufacturers OF shirt waists
Is distinctly on the increase. Indeed the
movement in women's dress goods is geneI-
ally better than it has been. The very gen.
eral consumption OF goods used in decora-
ton has caused another addition to the per-
manent wiping out OF a certain amount OF
wool as we'll as Of cotton goods Low grade

"This interesting relic is about the
size of this hematite bust. 1t was
carved from stone and in color, Of light
yellowish cast. Mr.. Hovey picked it up
near the great stone house of antiquity
around the mounds Of Wyandotte
County, Kansas. 1t was found under
an accumulation of soil of some little
distance, and must have been there for
years, perhaps for centuries, before
Europeans came to this country. That
it is very well-executed piece Of work
is shown by an examination. 1t was
the workmanship of one Of the best
artisans of the time The big
nose which Napoleon liked in his gen
erals, and width between the eyes, seem
to favor the sterner sex. Markings for
the hair are not shown. The
back of the head is fiat; at the base are
two projections with notches. This Mr..
Hovey thinks indicates that the stone
was to be fastened to piece Of wood.
Other stones with projections which
might have been made to represent a
nose, have been found in the neighbor-
hood. These may have been used as
dolls.
"But this particular head must have
been much too important for a play
thing. It seems to me it belonged to
some high priest or chief. 1t was fas-
tened to a wand-from it radiated
circles of feathers and fringes of beauti-
fully colored hair and bits of the finest
fur! Brought to view at times of
feasts, victory or worship; it's Office was
of great ceremonial Importance.
"Mr. Hovey does not attempt to iden-
tify the race of people by whom this
relic was made. We think that every
thing the former inhabitants of this
land made, was for purpose, and we
try to think, too, that what they could
do they did, but scientists tell us that
this little head was hardly made here.
A scholar who has spent some time
delving in the past, said that it was
undoubtedly southern manu- facture !;
that he had seen similar heads on
Aztec vases in the museum in the city
of Mexico.
"Such being the case, Mr.. Hovey
thinks we have an explanation for many
things that are sometimes puzzling to
the antiquarians. In other words, he
thinks there was more intercourse be-
tween the different tribes and peoples
that inhabited this country than many
persons suppose. Our curio being, then,
OF foreign make, leads us to believe that
in the long time ago the tribes were not
at war. There were periods of peace in
which the domestic pleasures of life
were cultivated, and when art and even
luxury were not unknown. n
professor Otis Mason, of the Smith
sonian Institution has been in CORES
pondence about the relic; perhaps he
will have different and more interest
ing theory about it. We are en-.
titled to our views and if any one can
throw light on the matter am sure that
we shall be very thankful"
From the accompanying pen sketch
which Mr.. Kilian sent with the article
one is led to believe it is "terminal
bust;" that is, one where the head only
is carved from solid block and the rest
of the block is left in rectangular OF

but, as there is no hole through, the
above theory will not hold.
The peculiar marks on the neck

noticed before the photograph made
them discernable, are matter of con-
lecture among experts. They have

naturally supposed I had discovered
very rare specimen, but after seeing
the photograph, Mr.. Brewer wrote me,
under date of March 81:
"Of the busts, clay and stone, l have
over fifty, all about the same size"
A single specimen is shown in his last
volume of memoirs, "Mille Lac" 1899.
of this hematite bust; but it shows,
also, about one-half of the body or else
is terminal bust" The view is a
pen drawing and one cannot tell from
it, but it shows credible specimen Of
sculpture. 1t was taken from mound
in South Dakota by Hon. John Lind,
governor of that state.
Sioux images of pipestone are des-
cribed by Catlin in "North American
Indians" (Vol. l, p. 234, edition of 1S42. }
Some illustrations are given and both of
these images might well belong to that
class.
Mr.. E. A. Kilian, of Alma, Kansas, a
gentleman of scholarly attainments,
who has taken much interest in matters
archeologic, during his many years of
active school work in Kansas and other
states, has very kindly sent me copy Of
an article which he clipped from the
Kansas City Journal of March 3, 1901.
1t is of sufficient interest in connection
with this bust and as matter of record
for preservation to reproduce:

This, however, may have no bearing
upon the use Of these terminal miniature
busts.
Mr.. Kilian also sent me pen sketch
of flat, limestone idol (D cut in rude
representation of a human head. 1t is
in the collection of Miss Kate B. Sawrs,
of Trescott, Kansas. 1t was found in
1887, is six inches high and three-quar-
ters of an inch thick. This is of an
entirely different school of sculpture,
however.
The Hovey bust seems to belong to
the same class as the catebanite Dakota
bust mentioned above, and this hema-
tite bust found at Roca may we'll be
classified in the same category, although
it is not terminal bust" as the others
seem to be, but is sin the round" The
size would place them in the same class
at least. The flat side of the Hovey
bust fits very nicely with future refer
ence made of the use of these tiny stone
images by the Tusayan Indians Of New
| Mexico
From all the accounts at hand, these
three busts stand alone in their class,
all three are miniature and all three
were, doubtless, used for the same pur-
pose.
Were They all Three Made and Used
by the Same Race of People?
am inclined to call your attention to
the fact that the Wichitas, who wan
dered south, and the Pawnees, who
wandered north, once belonged to the
same tribe, and I believe the finding Of
these three busts, in their respective
localities (South Dakota, Lincoln, Neb.,
Kansas City, Kansas.) is one more link
in the chain of evidence pointing out
this whole area as once the home of
very interesting people. AS to the
finding of the "fifty specimens in clay
and stone" of which Mr.. Brewer speaks,
I know nothing, and as he is now in the
far northern Hudson bay country, L can
not give you the history. 1t may come
later, however.
In my search through the nineteen
volumes Of Reports of the Bureau of
American Ethnology, Smithsonian In
stitution, I find not single counter
part. The busts and images mentioned
there are all large and but few are
enumerated.
In the sixth annual report, page %,
w. H. Holmes mentions the figure of
woman carved in stone; it is % inches
high and was found on the Isthmus of
Panama. 1t is in the McNiel collection.
This image is carved from basaltic rock
and the features are quite symmetrical.
1t resembles the miniature Dakota bust
in features near enough to be relation.

Countess Secures Decree of DivOrc,
After Much Litigation.

LONDON. March 2s.-A decree of di-
vorce was granted to Countess Russell
today.
The case of Countess Russell has occu-
pied much space in the newspapers for
years. She IL the daughter of Sir Claude
Scott, and was married to the Earl in
1890. The following year>sho sued him for
divorce. making allegations of cruelty
and other charges of very serious ma
tIIre. The charges created Il great scan-
dal in England at the time. The Count
ess failed to prove her case and was COM
PEELED to pay the costs of the action, which
amounted to over s25,O9o. Her mother.
Lady Scott. was convicted of libeling IL.

made against her husband.
Five years ago the Countess re-
tracted all the charges she had made
against her husband. and sued for resti-
tuition of her conjugal rights. She lost
her case, and then went on the stage.
In april of last year Earl Russell married
Mollie Semerville. or Cooke, at Reno.
New The Earl claimed TO have secured
a divorce in Nevada, but his first wife
Immediately brought suit for divorce.
