The Garner Stock Company.

The attraction at the Auditor
ium last night was the Garner
Stock company, and in spite OF
the rainy .yening a fair-sized aud
fence witnessed the four-act play,
"Sentenced for Life. The play
has been seen here before, but the
manner in which it was given last
night proves the Garner Stock
company is composed of very cap
able people. Those of which es-
pecial mention can be made are
Willard Dashiell, Louie Ramsdell
and Cora Wilmont. The comedy
of the piece was in the hands OF
of Harry l.. Webb, comedian OF
good qualities and fast making
friends. Tonight the beautiful
Southern play, " ARomance OF
the South" will be presented.
This play has been very success
full. and is one of those pieces con-
structed in such a manner as to
please all. Saturday afternoon a
matinee will be given, and the
four-act play, "Brother Against
Brother" will be given. Saturday
night live pig will be given away
to the holder of the lucky num-
Der.

The candidates for Sheriff are

friend J. B. Taught is in the lead
and we feel sure that the Repub-

nominating Mr.. Taught in the

his nomination would mean his
election sure. And we believe
Mr.. Taught would make a good
Sheriff, as he is very religious

doing will be treated likewise. If
anyone deserves above another it
is Mr.. Taught. He qualified years

mentioned are now and always have
been Republicans. Had they been NOM
mated for these positions in the trou-
blesome days of Populism they would
have been beaten out of sight.
j. G. Dawson, of Belleville, is one of
the young and active Republicans of
the. Fifth district. He is the book
dealer in his town. He is SO popular
with the people that he was talked of
for the compromise candidate for post
master of Belleville. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dawson know every patron of the Of
nee, and many of the patrons believe
Congressman Calderhead ought to
have appointed Dawson. For many
years he was peanut boy on the Union
Pacific. Later he was uptown express
agent. He, too. is active in the sue
cess of the Republic county corn car
nival.
Harry Broderick, editor of the Marys-
vile Acknowledgements, has been
nominated by the Democrats of his dis
trict for the legislature. II he runs as
well as his newsy journal is popular,
his Republican opponent will catch on
before election that Broderick will be
a hard man to whip.
william Lortng is one OF the well-to-
do farmers of the Republican valley,
in Republic county. He has lived there
for about 30 years. This year he has
over 100 acres of corn, which he figures

SACRED DANCE.
Navajo Indians Will Enact Pic
turesque Fire Dance.
Has Been Seen by But Few
White Men.
TO APPEASE FURY.
Good Spirit Is Angered by Mis-
deeds Of Indians.
The Dance VIII Be Given at
Albuquerque Fair.
FURY.

| Albuquerque, n. NJ, Sept.-The Ter
ritortal Fair association has appointed
Colonel D. K. B. Sellers, envoy extra
ordinary to the Navajo Indians, and
Colonel Sellers will make arrange
ments to get the biggest bunch of wild
and woolly Indians that have ever been
| off their native desert. Word has been
received from Sheriff Jim Elmer of
Pennington, near the reservation, that
a large number of Indians appear will
ling to make this long trip to Albu-
querque to see the sights of the great
fair, to be held October 1915 inclu-
sive, and he also advises that they can
be induced to give the celebrated
sacred fire dance at that time.
This dance has been seen by only a
few white men as it ranks far ahead
of the Moqui snake dance as a tribal
religious function. The moduS oper-
andi of the dance is as follows: A
mammoth fire built of pinion limbs is
reached height of forty or more feet
and the heat is like a white-hot fur
mace the dance proper begins.
The Indians are stripped, with the
| exception of animal skins around the
loins, and their bodies are painted
white with the native gypsum found
in the hills on the reservation. With
curious wands in their hands they be-
gin the dance TO the beating or drums
and the peculiar whirring of a native
instrument which sounds very much
like the tin can on a string of a small
boy. The dance usually lasts several
hours but in the exhibition to be given
each night at the fair, only one or
two of the movements will be exc
cuted. The most astonishing spec
tacle occurs about the middle of the
dance, when, igniting long strips of
cedar bark at the fire, they dance
around in close proximity to the flames
with these blazing brands hanging
down their backs, and this feature
of the dance is not completed until
the brands are burned away. 1t would
naturally be supposed that after hav-
ing the flesh in direct contact with
this blazing bark, severe burns would
be the result but on examination only
a few moments after the ordeal no bad
effects can be noted.
The Navajos explain this by saying
that as the dance is to appease the fury
account of various misdeeds of the In
ton is given them pro a3ding they en-
ter the dance without fear and carry
out the severe trials of the dance with
fortitude and bravery.
The NavajoS are in a specially good
hun1Or this year on account of the
heavy rains and resulting good crops,
and so are willing to break all tribal
presidents and give this dance off the
reservation. AS this in all probability
will never happen again it is certainly
worth considerable time, trouble and
expense to any one to come to Albu-
querque during fair time to see it.

THE POWER THAT THAT MAN CAN TRANSMIT
THROUGH HIS HANDS IS REMARKABLE ;"

Again the old saw that "Truth
is tranger than felton," is attested
by the story of a young Santa Fe
machinist, J. r. Cowdrey of 513
Van Buren, street. Few young men
in Topeka are better known than
young Cowdrey, he having lived
here since 1880 and having been in
the employ of the Santa Fe con-
tinuously for over eleven years.
Today he holds a fine position in
the machine shops of that COM
pany. Then, too, for over fourteen
years young Cowdrey has been a
member of Marshalrs Military
band and went with that organi-
zation to the Columbian exposition
at Chicago in 1898. He is also a
member of the orchestra that plays
at Crawford's theater. Thus his
circle of friends and acquaintances
is numbered by hundreds who will
not only be interested in his story,
but will vouch for its truth.
