INDIAN ReLIcs.

l.. c. Norman came in from Supply
n few days ago and brought with him
few Indian relics from an old Indian
burial grounds about mile and half
east Of the old fort. Since the settlement
OF that Seuntry BY whI.e men, curiosity
has been the means Of opening some Of
the graves m the search OF bows and ar
rows beads and trinkets that were
sometimes paced in the graves with the
dead, While at Supply this trip Mr..
Norman visited the old burial ground.
where there were perhaps forty Chey-
ennes buried. and from thoee that had
oeen opened he picked up several little
relics scattered about over the ground.
In addition to beads, hair etc. he found
a piece Of silk iihbon that had ap-
parenty been IN 3 grave for a number
Of years. Eighteen years ago we
drove through the Cheyenne camp at
the junction OF the Beaver with Wolf
creek. and within a very short dis
tanc4 OF tie burial ground mentioned.
but did not know it was there At
that time there were about 100 Chey-
ennes there-men. women and child
ren-lving in tepees. tents and crudely
built structures OF poles and willows.
They We're friendly butpaid little at
tention 10 the passer-by, The Indians
buried there were buried principally by
the government troops stationed al
Frot Supply, and We think Il nothing
more than right, even though Indians

serve the old graveyard.

THE SOURCE or
BRYAN's INFLUENCE.
CKansas city Star

CKansas City STAR
Mr.. Bryans address before the
Knife and Fork club last night disclos
I'd his character In new light to
many who heard him. Part Of his audi
tors had regarded him merelv IS a
politician who advocated absurd and
dangerous theories They found him
last night-as always consummate
speaker. with a profound feeling for
social wrongs. a high ethical standard
and strong convictions as to the neces-
sity for a radical change Of attitude on
the part of the people whom fortune
has favored.
There was nothing of the political
demagogue revealed in the address Of
the man who pleaded for wider sympa-
thy between social classes, who pro
claimed the doctrine that pecuHiary re-
wards should be proportionate to serv-
ice done to society, and who advocated
the Tolstoian teaching Of bread labor"
for men who do not know what it is
to work with the hands
To say this is not to assert that Mr..
Bryan's special pleadings in political
campaigns have commended them
selves to a majority Of his countrymen.
Indeed, the address last night with its
advocacy Of the bread labor" cause
is an indication Of Mr.. Bryan's tend
ency to adopt attractive hypothesis
without considering all the conse-
quences which they involve. But the
impression made by his words indi-
Gates the source Of his influence in
the country today.
The man who sees vividly and feels
keenly the iniustices of the social or
der and who is sincerely anxious TO
have them corrected, If he has the
true orators ability and magnetism, is
/ certain to be a commanding figure.
The mass Of the people upon whom the
evils weigh heavily are seeking for
such a man to voice their desires and
to lead them You may bury him in
/ ballots without destroying his infunece
SO long as the evils remain. Because
of this fact It may be predicted that
Mr.. Bryan's political future depends in
some degree upon President Roose-
velts success in accomplishing the re-
forms to which he has committed him

ouR RFAUTIFOL PARKS.

The ptogress made by the Guthrie
street railway in constructing the park
south Of the city is remarkable. The
plans are excellent The lagoons will
be beautiful. The BAH park is very
fine. There is a large and commodi-
Gus grand stand. On the whole the
park will likely be one Of the most at
tractive places in the territory.
The new bridge on Division street
over the Cottonwood and into Island
park will open up the way to that beau
tiful natural park which possesses such
peculiar charms in its great forest
trees. running water and superior boat
ing facilities The mineral well has
few equals in the curative qualities Of
it's sparkling artesian waters. With
only a small additional expense this
park can be made one of the most
beautiful in the West
The sulphur wen just across the
river next to the pumping station is
considered by physicians to possess the
very best curative properties and a
great many people visit it daily to avail
themselves Of this fountain Of youth
1t is a pleasure to note the develop
ment of the park system south Of the

Local agents for the Owosso Sugar
Company are now engaged in soliciting
acreage for next seasons crop OF sugar
beets. ''The campaign which has just
closed. while shorter than that of pre-
vious years. was very successful one, y
said an officer of the company this
morning "The beets were all in first
class shape and were shipped in rapidly
80 that the plant was kept working at
its fullest capacity throughout the en-
tire campaign.
'It is our desire to secure contracts
for 1000 acres of beets in the immedi-
ate vicinity of this city, and we had
contracts for about 700 acres last Satur-
day night. The present indications are
for complete campaign next year.
Beet growers received on an average OF
about $50 per acre for crop during the
season just closed, which netted about
$50 above expenses and they were well
pleased.
/ "At least one third of the beets
ground at the factory during the cam
paign should be drawn in by wagon.
The indications are that this average
will be reached another season. Local
growers are becoming more interested
in the sugar beet industry and we have
at the present time 100 per cent more
acreage than we had year ago at this
time. Lansing Journal.
