SHAMANISM.

In far remote times, Shamanism was
probably the common cult among all
the Turanian peoples. Max Muller mas
pointed out the affinity between the
ancient Chinese and Monaghan relig-
ions, the most ancient and hottest Chi
nese divinity, Tien, being identical with
the Monaghan Tengri tthe Ya~. Tas'-
gara), both words originally sisnifying
heaven and the god of heaven. Some
1000 years before the campaign of Da-
Illus, the ancient Scythians, according
to Monaghan traditions, worshipped
heaven as father" The most ancient
known Inhabitants Of the highlands of
Asia, the Hiungnu or the Huns. at the
time of their emerging from the basin
of Tarim into the middle of the Hoang-
hot some 5000 years before the Christian
era), worshipped, according to the Chi
nese sources, divinities of the sun, the
moon and heaven, as we'll as the spirits
of the earth and of their fOrefathers.
The prevalence Of the Shamanistic cult
among the so-called Ural-Altaic tribes,
who from prehistoric times inhabited
the northern regions of Asia and Eu-
rope from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
has become an established fact through
the researches of Kastren and others.
The Shamanistic cult remains in our
days among the Tunguses with the ex-
ception of Mandchu, who have adopted

Des Moines, March 14.-Congress-
mar Hull has come home and has had
a conference with his friends. He
has been assured by the Cummins
people that he will have no opposi-
Ition next year if he permits Cummins
to have the county and district, but

these promises in the light of the past
are not reliable.
There is additional proof that Min

Reaches home before the primaries

there is a fight in the district.
Captain Hull will confer for several
days with his friends in the district be-
fore he determines what his position
will be. Many friends of both Hull
and Cummins are trying to avert a
conflict between them, but Captain,
Hull's closest friends feel that there

Reward of s75 Offered for the Recov-

Eddyville, March 14.-(SpeciaD-
The boat in which Abe Lafferty left
this place Tuesday to hunt ducks on
the Des Moines river was found up
turned late yesterday afternoon about
four miles down the river lodged
among the willows which line the
bank. A close examination of the
boat disclosed the fact that the bottom
was stained with blood This gives
rise to the theory that the young man
accidentally shot himself and after
wards fell out into the icy water. II
he was not already dead when the boat
was overturned, he probably drowned.
Offers Reward.
The citizens of this place offer a re-
ward of SIS for the recovery of the
body. Searching parties are now out
dragging the river. 1t is thought the
body may be found mile or SO fur
ther down the river than the place
where the boat was found.
