The shifting streams of inland mi
grafton are such important factors in
the development of certain sections Of
our country that they invite careful
and interesting study. We are some
what familiar with the tide of immi-
grafton from the Scandinavian PENN
sula and the north of Europe to our
northwestern States, where the immi-
grants find the climate to which they
are accustomed at home. But very few
have analysed the streams Of migra-
ton that have flowed toward Okla
homa and the new Southwest. That
we are a migra tory people is impress
lively revealed by the census Of 1900,
which shows that 13000,00O, or nearly
81 per cent, of our native-born pOpu
lation were living outside of the States
and Territories OF their birth in that
year. An interesting first-hand study

that the head of every family that set

induced the roads to put forth extra

which they run are comprehensive and
costly. The inhabitants Of Oklahoma
are Americans, largely drawn from
Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky,

Four years ago the foreigners formed
less than per cent Of the population.
Americans were in Oklahoma before
foreigners knew of Its existence. Con-
ditions are different in North Dakota.
In 1900 its foreign-born population,
consisting largely of Danes, Scandina-
vians, Canadians, Russians and Ger

ZUNI FAMILY LIFE.
A Village Looks Like Huge Hive of
Clay on Sandy Knoll.

The little alfcivilized children OF
Zuni so aroused our curiosity that we
drove through forty miles of sand and
sage-brush, from the railroad at Fort
Wingate, to pay them visit. AS the
Indians do not provide for travellers,
we took our hotel with us-tents, beds
and food-and camped just outside
their village. Inc village looks IKE q
huge beehive made of clay and stuck
fast to the top of a sandy knoll. The
hive Is filled with mass of cells
300 single rooms, placed side by side
and piled in rows one on top of an
other
In each of these rooms lives Zuni
family. There are no inside stairways
leading from story to story, but if tie
boys and girls living in one row wish
to pay visit to house above them,
they must go outdoors and climb lad
der. On the slope between TIE village
and the Zuni river are a number of
small vegetable gardens, each one in
closed by a mud wall. Zuni has no
Aiho, ho suOpS, no oulOOuS, UOt even
proper streets, but only narrow alleys
that thread their way through the
strange town. AS we walked through
the village, all the world came out to
see us. Girls and boys clustered on
the roofs or sat on the ovens-queer
little cones of mud which seem to
grow up out Of the house-tops-while
fathers, mothers and babies peered out
from dark doorways to stare at the Wis
itors. When we had finished our tour
OF the roofs and alleys, we were hos
pitably invited indoors; even there the
children followed us, and as we glanc-
ed up to hole in the ceiling which
served as window. girls laughing

Venezuela, reports that two physicians
of Medellin, Colombia, have announced
that they have discovered the malaria
microbe, and can propagate it. If this
be correct, the next thing to do is to
discover something that will kill it.
Then the disease will lose its terrors.
1t is now known that malaria is COM

way to escape 1t is to avoid mosquito

Alonzo Bristow Says He Was Very
Careful But Money Disappeared
Through Sits in Valise while
Enroute to Depot.

Chicago, May 16.-Alonzo Bristow,
Of Bedford, Iowa, started last evening
from the City hotel for the railway
station with $1O,7oO in two packages
in small valise. When he arrived
there he found slit cut in the va
lise and the money gone. The case
is peculiar and the police are at a
loss how to proceed.
Bristow was acting as the agent or
his brother, a wealthy Iowa stock
breeder. He came mere Saturday
with eighty-three horses which he
sold and was given a check. This he
cashed at a stock yards bank. Then
he. went down to the city and pur-
chased small valise to carry the
money. He took supper at the Bos-
ton oyster house and from there went
sixteen blocks to the City hotel to
pay his bill and collect his belongings
for the journey home. He says the
satchel with the money was intact
at that time and up to the moment he
arrived at the railway station; that
he never released his hold upon it,
keeping it in his lap all of the jour-
ney.
