SEARCHING
''''I: FOR EcAN
Old Hunter Thinks That
He was Accidently
Shot.
Parties Being Organized
for a Systematic
Search.

The report that searching parties
were about to start out in Montana in
search of the remains of B. F. Egan.
the Great Northern superintendent
who disappeared while hunting in the
mountains on last Nov 4, has started
number of rumors as to the posi-
BILE fate of the young railroad man.
A writer named Walter Patterson, of
Helena. leans to the theory that Egan
was accidentally shot by some hunter
or hunters, and Mr.. Patterson continu-
ing says
1T takes almost supernatural cour-
age to face a responsibility such as
this. In other distressful cases of this
kind self preservation has prompted
the unhappy hunters to secrete the
dead body where no human eye would
ever behold it, nor any prOwling wild
beast desecrate it. Perhaps some
after accident has revealed this. per-
haps troubled conscience has ac-
ever remained an unsolved mystery.
within the year 1902, and only
few miles distant from the scene of
Mr.. Egan's disappearance, locomo-
tive fireman met instantaneous death
from the stray bullet of a huntsman,
whose exact location when the shot
was fired is not known. And this hap
pened while the fireman was seated
at his cab window, with the bell cord
between his fingers and the train NOV
ing along at top speed. How much
more possible the other accident
would have been!
II would point out in this same con-
nection that upon the November after
noon when Mr.. Egan disappeared
other spOrtsmen were heard firing
their guns in the near distance
Again the carcass of deer which
had been lately shot, but which had
been allowed to lie where it had fallen
unclaimed. was run across toward ev-
ening of that day in the same general
locality.
These facts. and the probability
that yet other hunters were out that
day in pursuit of game, are all peril
nent subjects for reflection, and in the
light of the present limited informa-
ton it is unfair that suspicion should
fall upon any particular persons or
party of persons.
"Of all the opinions l have sought
and gained upon this affair even the
best must yet be rated as naught but
guesses- at as puzzling a mys-
terry as has ever perturbed the west. -

peared in the soil it was impossible
to use the land again for the produc-
tion of fax.
Immune Plants Found.
Curiously enough it was found that
notwithstanding that practically all
the fax plants died, few of them re-
sisted the disease. An investigation
was made. and it was discovered there
are many species of fax which are inn
mune from the attack of this fungus,
and no matter how thoroughly the soil
is impregnated with it these disease
resisting plants flourish.
This was a valuable discovery, and
the department set about to breed the
new resistance fax plants. This is
slow process, and in order to facilitate
the building up of this important in
dustry Secretary Wilson has decided
to send one of the experts of his de-
partment who has made special
study of the subject to all flax growing
centers of Europe for the purpose Of
obtaining plants which are immune
from this disease. and which will grow
in the soil in which it is known to be
present in the most aggravated stages.
This expert will leave for Europe in
a few days, and will remain there
about six months. AS soon as he can
obtain this disease resisting species he
will send them to the United States
where they will be introduced. After
they have been received it will be pos
sible for the farmers in the Mississippi
valley, in which this industry has beer
abandoned, to resume the growing o
fax, which is profitable industry.

SCARCITY or GOLDFISH.
Dealers Sa. the Ponds Are No, lir'dins
We'll THIS Year.

Dealers in birds and aquarium fish in this
city are lamenting the fact that goldfish
are so scarce this year that they cannot
supply the demand. The retail price of
goldfish has gore up 200 per cent. and
even mt tho increased price the demand
cannot be met.
There Ii a big sale OF goldfish in this
city every spring. They are almost as
great pets a. canaries and cats.
Sometimes they live for years. some
tines they die in a few months. The de-
mand for them keeps Up year after year
and the men who deal in them depend on
this branch of their business for considerable
profit.
Most of the goldfish sold in this city are
caught N IealJy streams. There used To
be two small ponds in South Brooklyn and
three in what was once Bay Ridge, that
were full OF goldfish and the princiT al
amuse non, of the boys in the neighborhood
WA 20 catch them with bent pins for hooks
and crumbs of bread for bait.
MANY thousands Of the fish are caught
each wear in The Bronx and IN the Croton
watershed, but for some reason this source
Of supply ha, failed this year. The Pros
NEG, Park and Contra! Park lakes are full
of goldfish but of course they cannot re
touched.
Goldfish that cost 10 cents last year,
bring % and 20 cents now Because of their
scarcity the aquarium men have laid in
large stocks of water LIZARD and baby
turtles, but they do not sell 90 wen.

INDIANS GROWING MUSICAL.
A Demand for Pianos Among Tribes in
the Northwest.

the Northwest.
LINCOLN, Neb., May ia score of years
ago it would have been difficult to COM
vince a Westerner familiar with the stiff
legged dance OF the Indian and his mo-
notonous Ho-ya! Ho-ya! that the red folks
would ever become musicians. And yet
that is what is happening.
Pianos are appearing in the homes not
only Of the Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Indians. who have money for almost any
old luxury, but also in those Of the Sioux
and Blackfeet and Crows. A Lincoln
wholesaler has in the past six months sold
no fewer than twenty five pianos, averaging
Ia price moro than 800 apiece, to families
Of the Northern Indians.
Indian schools in the East and West
are responsible for this novelty. The re-
turning musicians must have their pianos,
and their orders for good music are on file
with dealers all the time.
Music is not inherent in the Indian as
in the African. The idea of the Indian
before he is educated in music is to selec.
two tones. balancing the voice back and
forth between them. in a m onotonous
fashion. The women Of the Sioux tribe.
when performing the squaw dance. jump
up and down. uttering cultural sound half
way between a grunt and a moan. There
is not the least bit Of music about it.
Perhaps tho nearest approach TO any
music the Dakotas Indians have shown
was in the ghost dancing days OF the early
'0Os, when fervor and religious fanaticism
lent spirit to their songs But even in
these the ear-distracting repetition was
present. These ghost songs" wana ri Ole

the sounds can be gathered from the open
ing verse, which went:
Ina he kuyc. ina he kuye.
Misunla ceya umanl ye.
Ate heye 10. ate heye 10.
Ate hcye 10.
This same ending, which means, saith
my father, saith my father" marked
a dozen verses. Some concluded with
.Nihun quon he heye 10. nihun auon he
heyo 10" Csaith my mother, saith my
mother", while still others with "Unci
heye ce, unci heye ce" (-saith my grand
mother") and "Tuwa heye ce, tuwa heye
