slow headway In their retreat. The
fight and pursuit continued till the sun
was far down in the west. Many times
had Wah-kon-tah-o-kee-a exposed
himself to the bullets and arrows OF
the enemy without injury. but at last
an arrow penetrated his skull just
above his eye. He was so sorely
wounded that he believed himself una
BILE to travel and begged his friends to
hide him in thicket, saying that II
they did so he would join them in four
days, but If they tried to carry him
away he would die.
They refused to desert him, and
ah-kon-tah-ok kee-ah was tied on the
back Of pony. During the night the
Osages fed SO rapidly that next morn
ing they reached their camp on Salt
creek in safety. Death came upon
Northumberland, however, and he
was buried near the camp.
A white man who has the friendship
Of the Osages may sit for hours in an
Usage tepee listening to simple stories
like this of the old days when the men
Of the tribe lived by their strength and
valor. They are enjoyed by the old
white man tells Of his adventures In
the west. In ten years practically all
the old Usage men will be dead. and
with them Will pass this transient his-
tory OF their tribe
The Usage reservation has been ran
sacked SO many years for historical
relics that few OF value remain, and
these are guarded so closely that few
white men ever see or know of them.
Many have been destroyed In the OBJ
servance OF tribal customs and super
stitions.
As late as 1890 the Osages We're in
possession of two documents of pc
culiar interest. Unfortunately they
two treaties, made respectively In 1893
and 1I9o. between the Osages and the
French. and were dated nj New or.
leans. Charles A Evanhoe. who was
with the Osages for many years and
lives now near Ralston. saw the treat
les. He remembers that one OF the
Osages was named as Chevaiier Wnh-
shin-kah-sappah. The treaties were on
parchment. yellow with age. and por-
ton OF their contents WAS in print
The treaties then were In possession
of Wah-nah- -bah-o-kea QHe Spoke to the
SpiritsI and were kept In n tightly
closed tin cylinder. He refused S2j
for them. This Indian died In the early
nineties. and the treaties descended TO
his brother. The latter In his grief
over his brothers death burned them.
in accordance with the Indian custom
of sacrificing something OF great value
when death takes away those they
love.
Evanhoe was OF the opinion that L.
E Woodin. now OF Arkansas City.
Kan, had made copies of these treaties
when in the employ of the federal gov
ernment at the Otoe agency In 1887.
A letter to Mr.. woodin lately brought
the reply that be knew of the alleged
treaties and that they were regarded
as having great value, but had never
succeeded in inducing their owner to
permit him TO transcribe them.

That smokeless powder has its
dangers as well as its advantages is
pointed out by a recent medical
writer. The gases from it produce
very disagreeable symptoms, among
which are convulsions, difficulty Of
breathing, feeble pulse and heart
action, headache or even loss of

ly to the nitrous products of COM

A Muscular Musician.

Theodore Thomas is extraordinary,
physically as well as mentally. Now in
his sixty-ninth year, no one can detect
the difference in his vigor, endurance
or bearing from that of the Theodore
Thomas of forty years ago. Physicians
have lately certified that, barring acci-
dents, there is no reason why twenty
years from now he should not be lead
ing Orchestras with vitality and en-
thusiasm. His work as leader has pro
duced odd physical developments. His
left hand, for instance, is a mass Of
muscles, wonderfully flexible as well as
powerful. The swinging of his arms
daily for hours at time has given him
the strength of boxer Not long ago
in a country town an otficious police
man undertook to block his entrance
at the stage door of the theater at
which he was to give a concert. Mr.
Thomas cOurteously explained, then
mildly eXpOstulated but the policeman
gave no heed. The delay becoming irk-
some and the precious Thomas punctu-
ality being in danger, the maestro
made sudden movement, lifted the
policeman in the air and with swing
Of those mighty arms tossed him into
a convenient pile of scenery. Every

wore said and all returned TO tnelr
homes saddened at the loss OF one
who had been so dear to them.
An extraordinary sequel occurred a
peasant farmer, living in the Viclni''
Of the cemetery, rose early next morn

look over the wall of the cemetery ne
was astonished TO see a man on hls
knees beside the newly filed in grave.
The peasant watched and saw MN
feyerishly scraping away the earth
with his hands, not looking ASIDE Ior
one moment
The onlooker remained with ms eyes
fixed on the strange sight, 10 MS
amazement the mysterious visitor con-
tinued his grewsome task with un-
abated vigor until presently the conn
was laid bare. Then, with the aid OF
an iron implement, the man torcloiy
wrenched off the lid.
The climax in the weird drama had
been reached. Bending down over the
open shell the stranger, who had so
wantonly disregarded the sacredness
of the spot, gazed long and earnestly
upon the face of the dead girl Then,
imprinting one passionate kiss upon
her forehead, he raised himself and re-
adjusted the lid, afterYard proceeding
to fill in the earth over the coffin again.
Meanwhile. however, the authorities
had been informed Of the occurrence,
and the police arrived and arrested the
extraordinary intruder He was taken
to the police station ana formally
charged.
In his possession was found a tele-
gram, handed in at Waterford, and
delivered to him at Bristol. telling him
OF the death of the young lady. 1t
appeared that on receipt of the news
he took his passage Immediately for
Waterford and, on arriving, repaired to
the graveside.
When arrested he said, "They
thought they could prevent me seeing
her, but they were mistaken" He
was taken before the magistrate, who
committed him to an asylum.-LOndon

800, 900 nen. General Kuropatkin is
known to have six army corps. besides
lat squadrons Of cavalry in which great
confidence is repossd. bringing up the
Russian total to about the same num-
Der that the japanese have. How the
armies compare with regard to artillery
is not definitely known, though through
out the war the japanese have shown
great preference for this arm and great
skill in its use.
Reports from the front credit the
Japanese with having about 1900 guns
and many mountain batteries, and it
is known that they recently shipped "a
heavy guns to Yinkow. Four Of these
guns already have been mentioned in
these dispatches as being in action.
General Kuropatkin. in addition to
his field batteries, has a number of
very heavy guns emplaced at important
positions at Lao Yang, where the Rus
slams have been strongly fortifying for
some time.
The Japanese claim to have captured
two field batteries during the past two
days. Russian official accounts admit
the loss Of only six guns.
1t is stated that a Japanese battery
was captured south of Anshanshan
during the preliminary fighting, and
that several japanese guns have been
destroyed since then.
Little of the strategic situation has
developed so far. Oficial news from
the front says that there was desperate
fighting on the southern centre, while
from information from other sources
it appears that the Japanese are en-
deavoring to turn the Russian right
from he neighborhood of the junction
of the Taitse and Sakhe rivers. The
fighting on the western flank appears
to have approached within three miles
Of Lao Yang.
A dispatch from Mukden of yester-
days date says that in the stubbornly
fought battle which has been in pro-
gress near Lao Yang since Tuesday
morning all attempts of the Japanese
to turn the Russian flank have been
