Navajo Fire Dance.

At the New Mexico Territorial Fair,
held at Albuquerque, n. NJ, October
10th to 18th, unique and interesting
spectacle was presented. One hundred
Navajo Indian braves, who had never
before been outside the confines of their
reservation, participated in their most
impressive religious cermony, known as
the fire dance. The Indians were stripped,
wearing only breech-cloth, their faces
being grotesquelv painted and their
bodies smeared with preparation
which rendered them impervious to
flames bIn the progress of the ceremony,
when the climax was reached the braves
seized burning brands from large cen
trail bonfire and dashed each other furi-
ousely. The cerinony ITSELF like those
who participated in it, had never before
been given outside Of the Navajo reser-
vation. Twelve successive nights were
required for its performa noes, each night
a different program being prescribed.
Someone would have reaped harvest
if this attraction could have been Sc
cured as one of the features for the Pike
at st Louis.

AT Height o. the Year.

Now turns the year in his scarlet bed
Now creeps the froststo the crimson
tree
Now smokes the fires OF the Wander
Tribe;
High in the woodland and low by
the sea.
Now is the time for the dearest
dream
To press The hilltops with nearing
feet;
Now enter the heroes of Arcade
With creating wains on the narrow
street
Now lifts the heart TO the fearless
quest;
Now sines the blood to the surer
tune:
Now wake the soul from its summer
sleep.
To climb TO God in an afternoon.
Low in the :alley the leaves are still
Sodden gold in the stubble scar;
Over the woods the flags unfurl-
Flaring he pride of the turning
year.
Low in the valley Doubt lies dead
A shadow aslant the purple field
Over the bill the quest is sped,
And Youth goes up with crimson

The Secret OF Popularity.

Some people think that personal popu
larity is the result of natural gift. En-.
" Holt brings out book through Nc
Clure-Phllips under the title OF The
Secret of Popularity" in which she
takes quite the opposite roint of view
In her preface, she declares that uupopu
laritv is the result of disregard of GER
tain obvious rules of behavior and an
overlooking of opportunities for kIn1li-
ness, etc. The book aims to put the
reader on the right track in these regards.
1t is rational and straightforward
treatment of a subject of uni ersal in

Laundry Hints.

Table salt in the starch will help in
the ironing.
A little borax in the last rinsing water
will make handkerchiefs easier to iron
and look better when done.
A useful thing to remember is that the
iron will not stick to the clothes if the
starch used has been mixed with soapy
water.
Rub the iron with a cloth soaked in
kerosene to prevent scorching Frequent
rubbing on sandpaper will keep irons
from sticking.
If you wash black stockings in a
warm lather of soap and wate---no soda
aud add c little vinegar to the rinsing
water, they will keep good color till
worn out.

REMANDED FOR SENTENCE.

he Supreme court on Saturday
reversed and remanded the case of
State of Kansas VS.. John Tyree.
Tyree was convicted last fall on
the charge of rape and sentenced
to term in the penitentiary under
the indeterminate sentence law.
His attorn eys, Seward |. Field and
Samuel Griffin, appealed the case
and contended among other things,
that the sentence. of the court was
void inasmuch as the alleged crime
was committed before the enact
ment of the new sentence law, and
therefore a new trial should be
ordered. The supreme court up
held them insofar as it related
specifically to the sentence but not
as to new trial, and ordered that
the district Judge re-sentence
Mr. Tyree under the old law.
The minimum is FIVE years and the
maximum IS twenty one. He will
be sentenced on the adjourned day
June 2eth.

Wadsworth declined to vote at all
on the proposition. The banks
held that it was not just and
equitable, since other branches of
business were. not assessed in
proportion, that the rate was very
high now and that to assess their
surplus would make the burden too
heavy.
The merchants who were struck
by the electrical current are as

PERSONAL property was raised. IN
many instances IN different parts of
the county, but the merchants of
Medicine Lodge and Sharon got
more of it than other places.
The bank of Kiowa and the
Citizens State Bank of Medicine
Lodge were the most unfortunate
in this respect. Each of them were
assessed, in addition tostheir capi-
tai stock, on fifty per cent of their
surplus, which adds about $500 to
the taxation burden to the bank
here and about $3.50 to the Kiowa
bank. The total tax of tho Medi-
oinesLodge bank IS now $500 and
the kiowa bank about $3.50. ].
I.B.Ellis OF the Kiowa bank and C.
@ Chandler of the Citizens State
Bank both appeared before the
Board and protested against the

COUNTY BUSINESS.

The county commissioners did
not complete their work of equaliz-
ing assessments until Saturday.
They were detained on account of
being compelled to go to .Kiowa
on Friday to arrange to repair the
river bridge there. The high
water had taken it a little out of
its place and there was danger of
its being washed away. Besides
being requested by the citizens to
repair it, the railroad company de
manded that it be made substantial.
Another high water might have
thrown it down the river and
taken out the railroad bridge.
Work on repairing began on Fri
day.
Other business transacted as a
board of commissioners was as
follows: A. ]. Athey, F. B. Cahal,
F. NJ. Lane, T. Y. Brown, R. 4,
Vandusen, L. w. Fox, d. A.
Greever, Eugene Downtain, and
G. E. Long of Kiowa, and J. c.
Anderson of Medicine Lodge, were
given compromise assignments to
town lots.
w A. Rauhut, CA. Marsh and
]. Welsh were appointed to ap-
praise school land in McAdoo
townships
Judge ]. T Herrick of yelling
ton, brother, of Gov. Myron T.
Herrick of Ohio, and attorney for
the National Savings Association
of which Gov. Herrick is the
principal stockholder, was before
the Board on Tuesday and We'd
nesday and asked that SIS 5000
bonds be refunded in accordance
with contract. The bonds former
" bore g per cent interest, but
were not negotiable. They
were refunded at 4 per cent and
were made negotiable.
EQUALIZATION BUSINESS.
The Board Of Equalization did
a great deal in the way of raising
assessments this year Both real
estate and personal property were
showed up notch and very few
instances Of lowering are visible
on the records.
There were raises on real estate
IN ten townships, one was lowered
and seven were permitted to re-
main as returned by the assessors.
In Medicine Lodge only the east
end was affected by the raise and
In Sharon the Board returned to
the Dewitt assessment of two
years ago. The south half is still
higher than the north half of the
township but the difference is not
SO great as it was last year.
The following table will explain
how land in the various townships
has been and is listed per acre:

out potn or the above propositions and we
pledge ourselves TO use every means to inn
mediatelJ carry out these plans.
Resolved, That committee of three of
which the chair shall be member, be appoint-
cd to Immediately secure the right of way
and a committee of three. be appointed by
the chair to take charge of and call an election
and look after the voting of the bonds.
After some deliberation Chair
man Stewart announced the com
mittees as follows. The bond and
election committee by common
consent was increased to six:
RIGHT OF WAY.
a. B. Purdy w. S. Rubert
Samuel Stewart.
BOND AND ELECTION.
Seward |. Field G. NJ. Martin
Samuel Griffin C. o. Chandler
Samuel Stewart J. n. Titus.
The purpose of these committees
IS to procure the right of way at
once and frame a petition and pre-
sent it to the County Commission
ers to call a township bond cleo
ton. In this work they ask the CO.
operation of everybody. The city
council and mayor took the initial
step at a special meeting on Friday
night by granting the company
free right of way, SO that all that
remains yet to be done in this di-
rection is to get the right of way
from individual property owners
To start the ball rolling w. S. Ru-
bert and VIM. Palmer both made
the public statements that they
would grant free right of way
through their farms and their gen
erosity was heartily applauded.
Our people are all united on the
PROPOSITION as to the benefits to be
derived from this road but there
will in all probability be some op-.
position to the bond proposition.
On hrst'blush a protest may look
reasonable on account of our al
ready enormous Indebtedness but
when you come to look at it from
a business standpoint and an in
vestment it appears in an altogeth-
er different light. If this road is
built, the company will pay into
the county treasury from $500 to
$3.50 per mile in the way of taxes.
There will be about twelve miles
OF road through the township. The
bonds would probably bear $ per
cent. interes. That on the minimum
calculation, if the township voted
$4,000 bonds which is the limit
that can be voted under the law,
besides paying the interest back
every year, the company would pay
back $3.50 every year to apply
toward the principal. This, Of
course, is merely referring to the in
vestment phase of the question.
The other material benefits cannot
be MEASURED in dollars and cents.
What has hurt Medicine Lodge and
Barber county most are its fraudu-
lent bonds voted for railroads new
er tuilt, the sugar mill bonds,
ETC.. but this company does not
ask dollar until the road is
IN actual operation and if the
bonds are voted they are not to be
delivered until that time, and all
deeds for right of way will contain
a clause providing that if the road
IS not built the land shall revert to
the owner.
If Medicine Lodge wants a good
substantial and profitable railroad
this IS the time to strike. In this
day a town can only get a road by
pushing for it. If Medicine Lodge
lays down some other town will
get it, that's all. The city and
county can t afford to lose it.
