SLAIN BY A THUG.
Unknown Man While Resisting Ar
rest Kills Wisconsin
Sheriff.

st. Paul, Mimi, June 20.-SheriH u.
D. Harris, of St Croix county, Wis,
was shot and killed Saturday night,
while attempting to make an arrest on
an Omaha train near Fall Creek, WIS.
The man who did the shooting, and
whose name is unknown, jumped from
the moving train and escaped. Snerln
Harris had gone to Eau Claire on
business, and when about to board the
train for Hudson was informed by the
chief of police of Eau Claire that
man suspected of burglary was aboard
the train. The sheriff searched the
train and finally located his man III
the smoking car. He placed him un-
der a rest and was about to handcuH
yer and fired three times, shooting the
sheriff through the head and killing
him instantly. In the excitement which
followed the shooting the murderer ran
the entire length of the train,
jumping from the rear coach while the
train was going at high speed. He
then stole horse and buggy and made
his way to Augusta, where the animal
was found Sunday, but all further clue
to the fugitive's whereabouts is APP
parently lost. Sheriff Mcmillan, OF
Eau Claire, organized a posse and
secured the country in the neighbor-
hood of Fall Creek, but without sue
cess. Sunday night 100 armed menfrom
Hudson passed through Eau Claire on
A
ia, where the search again will be
taken up The identity of the man who
did the shooting is not definitely
known. One statement is that he is
the man who is 7anted for killing the
town marshal at Havre, Mont, on
Nav 16.

made for the most part in white, and
tied with ribbon of the same shade as
the frock.
Among gowns for morning wear
there are small checks in red and
white, blue and white, and black and
white, which are still holding their
own despite the fact that they have be-
come rather ordinary. Still, they are
essentially delightful toilettes for the
Bots in the morning, especially when
the skirt is very full (and trimmed
with three or five enormous fiat tucks
and little insertions of white washing
beading), and the simple bodice has
yoke piece of embroidery and few
tiny fiat tucks, pouching over wide
band or sash, and rather neat sleeves
with turned-back cuffs of embroidery,
worn with a Breton sailor hat.
For the toilette de reception and the
more elaborate afternoon frocks, again
do white mousseline de sole and white
muslin reign supreme. These seem to
consist of endless numbers of ruchings,
gaugings, pipings and insertions OF
yalenciennes lace, indescribably elab-

sounds simple, however intricate 1T
may be in reality.

AUSTRALIAN TOTEM LORE.
Spirit of the Ancestor Is Associated
with the Stick He Carried
in Life.

An interesting report of the investi-
cations by Prof Baldwin Spencer into
the question of "totemism" in Australia
is given in Melbourne paper, says
the st. James Gazette. Various myths,
it seems, exist as to the origin of the
totem. The aborigines believe that in
what they call the dream times there
lived beings, half animal, half plant,
which were transformed into human
beings, and wandered about making
the natural features of the country
Each ancestor carried stick, and with
that stick the spirit of the ancestor Is
associated. Each place where an an
cestor has wandered is believed to have
spirit, such, for instance, as an emu
spirit, a kangaroo spirit, and SO forth;
and each child born in that particular
place is, say, an emu child or a kan
CARGO child, and SO on. Thus it is that
each child has his totem.
AS to the ceremonial, if woman or
child see it, the eyes are put out or
death inflicted. The professor was ini
tiated by one group, and was thus per-
mitted to see the ceremonies. The
initiators bedaubed themselves with
ochre, down and their own blood, and
after going through a grotesque dance,
related to the novices the doings of the
ancestors The aborigines believe that
reincarnation is continually going on,
so that many living people are accept
ed as reincarnations of some celebrity.
AS to the religious or magical aspect,
every person believes he has influence
over the animal or plant after which
he is called even to the extent of caus-
ing it to increase. AS rule, the totem
is edible, and in the great majority of
cases the totem is the food supply,
wherefore the power of increasing the
totem is of Importance. The aborig
inal rarely eats his own totem, but
he has no objection to giving IL to 9TH
erS to eat
