Burial alive came near being the fate
Of Chas-a -min-gah, an old Omaha In
dian chief, a few days ago. He dwelt
on the Indian reservation just north of
Decatur and had reached a ripe old
age. Sickness came and dissolution was
in view. BY and by the medicine man
pronounced him dead and arrange
ments for his burial had been
nearly completed. Presently the
undertaken who was called in
noticed signs of lie. He changed
his tactics and worked to arouse
the comatose chief. In less than
an hour he succeeded. Great excite
ment was displayed among his tribe.
They thought the great spirit surely
had some new, important mission for
the old man to perform. But the re-
suscitation was of no great avail. Four
days later the chief relapsed and this
time they laid him away in the dust.

The less sanity the more potatoes!
This Is the theory by which the in
mates OF a western asylum are credit
ed with a fine crop Of potatoes last
season when all around them the
farmers were producing none. The
success of the crazy ones Is
attributed to the fact that they
toiled among them daily. They were
told IL they did not raise a good crop
they would have to go without during
the winter and they worked. The Sec
ret is that they kept the soil loose,
thing which the farmer could do with
horse and cultivator with little trouble
If he were only a little less sane.

liam Geers, a Custer county hotel man
thought he was a mule team and

was not quite right. Two years ago a
young man came to his hostelry and
after staying over a night asked per-
mission to leave his mule team in the
care Of the landlord. OF course that
was all right. The young man said he
would be back for them in a short
time. He did not come. Days multi
piled into months and then the time
had stretched to two years and over.
Last week a hardy, Drowned man
walked up the path to the hotel and
asked the landlord IL his mules were
ready. They were. 1t was the rum
away of two years before. He did not
forget his team this time but before
he left the landlord had the satisfac-
tion of a story of hardship and much
wandering on the prairies Of the still
farther west.

FAREWELL TO THE NINTH.
Gave q Glowing Compliment to the
Military Arm of the Gov
eminent.

Manila, April 2s.-At a farewell
banquet here to the officers of the
Ninth infantry, Acting Civil Governor
Luke E. Wright paid glowing tribute
to the military forces. He said the
army under circumstances of surpris.
ing difficulty had paved the way for
the work of the civil authorities, and
that only few cases of friction be-
tween the two branches OF govern
ment had occurred. He said that Gen.
Chaffee, whose opinion might at times
have differed from those of the civil
authorities, had been a most loyal
supporter of civil rule.
Replying to Civil Governor Wright,
Gen. Chaffee said that the officers of
the army knew that their duty to the
country demanded their utmost ef-
forts to sustain the civil authorities,
and to suppress the rebellion.
