Pawnee indians Greatly Worried
Over the Loss.

Pswnee, O. T.. jan si--The Courier
says:
The PawHee Indians have several sa-
cred bundles among them. Their origin
is shrouded in mystery and their con
tents are unknown, except TO the oldest
Of the tribe. They are never opened now
and never wiz be again. until that happy
and longed for day when the oanaioes
return to the plains and the braves ca.s
once again go upon the war path
These relics are held in the greatest
reverence. and many a night - spent oy
the men OF the tribe recouuting the mira
cles clustering thick about their bundles.
Each bundle has its own particular MS
tory and is surrounded BY its own mys-
teries- The writer OF this has seen sew
eral Of these hanging on the west side
OF the teepee and tn lodge. They are
always on the west side. toward the set
ting sun. a sure harbinger that the sun
viii rise again. From earliest infancy
the children os the Pawnees are taught
to reverence and adore these wonderful
and awful relics OF the proves and
greatness OF those who base passed
away and that their future in the happy
hunting grounds depends on the degree
of alteration they pay 10 the bundles OF
their tribe.
Believing these things with unaues-
ticning faith. it Is not TO be wondered
at that they guard them with a constant
vigil and care for them with unceasiag
pains This watchfulness has protected
them through all the centuries during
which they have been making. and hot
one of them ever passed from their CEN
troll until last Sunday.
Last Sunday at the camp grounds north
OF town. while the Indians were feast
ing and dancing, some one IN charge Of
a bundle belonging TO the Skedee band
OF Pawnees relaxed his vigil for mo-
ment only, but the moment was long
enough for some irreverent white bastard
10 steal the bundle-a thing of no value
10 him, and dearer than life to the In
dian. The theft was quickly discovered.
but too late TO catch the thief. Yeste--
day the Indians came into our offioe So
Letting our aid 70 recover their treas
ure-their Bible--the thing to them IN all
the world most dear. We are sorry We
could not help them except with our
sympathy. but IL they catch the wretch.
they have our permission 10 lift his
scalp.

John Gordon could not help noticing
the shrinking manner of Mr.. Marsh.
The man seemed to be under an influ-
ence that could not be fear or even
compassion. 1t was rather a mingling
of disgust and physical dread.
"Shal we go in?" John Gordon said,
looking at his companion curiously.
"Wait moment" cried Marsh. Il
want to look at the street"
The two men stood still, and the older
for the first time in his life saw a sight
that he had never dreamed could ex-
list in civilized city that was at least
nominally Christian.
1t would be impossible to picture
Bowen street by means of a photo
graph. No skill of the photographer
or artist could reproduce the scene, and
huma1 language is as weak as the
brush Or camera to tell the story.
The street swarmed with children.
1t was midsummer and the day itself
was hot, but not one Of the hottest Of
fhe season. There was not tree or
shrub or flower, not bit of grass, not
even weed to relieve the dull, sicken-
ing look of sun smitten brick and wood
and stone.
In front Of every other house stood a
garbage box, or what had once been
one. The majority of these boxes were
rotting heaps Of boards without covers,
overf1owing with wet stuff composed Of
decaying vegetables, the sweepings
from the tables Of the people and the
litter Of paper, tin cans and refuse that
had not been disturbed by inspectors or
garbage wagons for several weeks
There was not whole piece of side
walk on either side of the street. Pieces
of rotting plank stood on end or lay
partly over the alleys. in some cases
thrust down between the decaying tim
bers, sticking above the regular level,

tency and debauchery Of machine poll

more than 1900 suits were pending
against the city for serious injuries
due to the defective sidewalks and that
the sum total of damages claimed was
more than $22.5OO.OO0. (See proceed
ings Of regular meeting Of Chicago city

instances picking bits Of decayed lem

they had been trying to have game of

to be designated "stoops," women hold
ing sick babies or little girls staggering
under the load Of a child two or three
years younger filled up the picture of
sodden, unkempt, disheveled, tired out
humanity that turned that awful street
into human hell, where no alleviating
bit of cheer or relief was inserted to
give one ray Of hope for the future.
The only buildings in front Of which
there were no steps were the saloons.
These averaged five to a block and one
on each corner. The corner saloons.

ing had never given him any idea
whatever Of the reality. he stared at
1t all now in a bewildered, almost
frightened manner that grasped only a
part Of the terrible significance Of It
all. 49,
Finally he turned to John Gordon
and said with a tone in which irrita-
ton was the dominant note:
"Why don't some of these children
go over and play in the Hope House
Fairgrounds instead Of rolling in this
awful filth? I understood you to say
that Hope House had a playground"

first with feeling of indignation,

The Great-Grandfather of the Sylph

A correspondent on Sunday referred
incidentally to the famous landaulet OF
Attorney-General WILLIAMS in the days
OF President GRANT.
II this historic vehicle is vet to be found
in the lumber room of the stables Of
Justice, it ought to be rescued, renovated
and set up in a conspicuous place in the
National Museum.
1t should be preserved there for the
admiration OF future generations: not
at all as a specimen Of long-past fash
ion of carriage making, but as the earliest
monument of the official deadhead sys-
tenn, an original and typical example OF
the gradual diversion of public property

use, The grandfather Of the Dolphin and

of WILLIAMs's landaulet should be re-

tratiOn and a record in the splendid col
