white people see and know about
these mysteries. Acting on an i'm
pulse prompted by their friendly
feeling for their white bre -hren, the
promoters Of the convention decided
to abandon all reserve and give a
grand exhibition of all their famous
and favorite dances. including the
war dance, the wedding dance, the
gram, the one held most sacred in the
past, the dead mans feast.
While going thus far, the Indians
concluded to go all the way. and
give full and complete exhibition
Of the greatest event with them in
the way OF dances. the sun dance.

when its celebration was attended
with gravest danger to the white
people, and special permission from
the Indian department had to be Sc
cured for this occasion. This alone
will be worth going many miles to
see. for in all probability It will never
be seen again In the northwest.
There are many of the older Indians
who know this and the other dances
that will be seen, and who danced
them when the ceremony was fuller
of significance than 1t Is now. but to
the younger braves the sight will be
as novel as 1t Is to the white spec
tators.
The weeks festivities will be
opened with a monster parade Of In
dams In native costume and war
paint. mounted on ponies and led by
full brass band composed OF full
blooded Indians--the only Indication
of the mixture Of the Indians with
the white race to be seen in the pa
rade. At the fair grounds the In
lians will live In tepees made OF
barks and skins, an exact counterpart
Of those in which they spent the
strenuous days OF life In the desert
a half century ago. Here will be
seen the customs, habits and man
ner Of living. and also the way In
which they followed their domestic
pursuits, grinding corn. dressing
skins. weaving baskets. etc.

GREAT INDIAN GATHERING
IN YAKIMA NEXT WEEK
National Convention of Represent
tatives of Tribes West of Nissis-
sippi River to BE Held.

Yakima citizens and visitors from
other places in the state are alike
interested in the National Indian
convention to be held next week on the
state fair grounds. The eucampment
of the Indians is visited by many in
terested persons, and the representa-
tives of a great many tribes and
Indian races contribute much to the
entertainment included in the track
and sporting events of the present
week II the weather should be-
come more favorable. in all proba-
bility the crowds at the fair ground
next week viii be as large as those
that attended the fair.
Captain Eneas and other promin-
ent chiefs of the Yakima and west
ern Washington tribes, were instru-
mental in calling the convention, and
they have endeayored to make it ma
tional in its character, inviting repre-
sentatives from all Indian nations
west of the Mississippi river. They
anticipate the largest gathering of
the Kind ever held in modern times,
since the meeting Is expected to be
of as much benefit to the red man MS
1t is amusement for the whites. As
every one knows. the aborigines of
this part of the country guarded with
jealous care the secret rites and cere-
monies of their tribes. and there
were many dances that the eye of
the white man was never supposed
to see. In the light of modern civil
lization, however, and as the Indians
leave further and further behind
them the superstitions and savage
rites of their ancestors, they are be-
coming less averse to having the

Postmaster General Robert j.
Wynne has under his command an
army Of civilians almost twice the
size of the army and navy COM
bined To be exact, there are 267,
502 men and women employed in
the postal service, according to the
latest computation, which was
made at the request of several sena-
tors and representatives. This i'm
mense army Of employees under the
postmaster general is the largest
body of men under one official in
the United Stato.. The army and
navy combined do not aggregate
much more than one half that
number. Germany has 241, a57 postal
employees. Great Britain has 1888
sos.
The army under Postmaster
General Wynne is divided as fol-
lows Postmasters, 50, 1856; rural
carriers, 30,001 city carriers, Il,
554; star routes and railway, mail
service AZ, 731, of which 12,2l4 are
in the railway mail service; clerks
of second class offices, 24,743 as
sistant postmasters, 1854; estimat-
ed number of clerks in third and
fourth class offices, $4,000; estimat.
ed number of clerks paid by post
masters from allowances and out Of
the salaries of the postmasters
themselves, $4,000. In the post
office department there are l, 16;
clerks and 400 messengers.
The total figures given do not in
clude 10000 substitute rural car
riers and 5000 substitute city car
riers, which would make a grand

about $40, 900, 900 per annum II

ranks next to the postofice depart
ment in number of employees. A

 The stream of the big artesian well at Elkdale Park was turned into the lake recently dug at the park. this af- ternoon at o'clock. It was the in- tention of the management of the park not to fill up the lake for at least week, but the heavy rains of late have caused water to stand in it and become stagnant and on account of the yellow fever scare Colonel Abbott had a num- Der of kicks registered that this stag nant water in the lake was great breeding place for mosquitoes. To stop complaint he decided to turn the stream from the we'll into the-lake as soon as possible.
 The time that 1t will take for the well to fll the lake has been the cause of much speculation and many sheets of paper have been used during the last month to figure out the problem. The lake has an average depth Of about four feet and covers about two acres of ground. It was estimated sometime ago that the flow from the well was 14.500 gallons an hour. t.
 A prize has been offered to the one who guesses the closest to the time that 1t will take the well to i'll the lake. The guesses range all the way from nine hours to ten days and con siderable interest is manifested by the patrons of the park. Quite good sized crowd was out at the park this afternoon when the stream was turned in. In. the center of the lake there Is a large island and bridges will be built from the park to this. island. which will be a cozy little retreat. A mum. Der of steel boats have arrived and will be used on the lake as soon as 1t is filled.

In Police Court.

If the fines were paid that were as- sessed in police court this morning the city would be $110 better off by today s session of that court. There were on- ly four cases tried. but O conviction was had in three of them. The princi- pal case of the session was that of Cola Mathews.
 Last Saturday night Cola went into the store of Eliasberg Brothers and while he thought no one was looking took a fine hat. His theft had been seen by clerk in the store and before the negro could get away with the hat he was arrested. He tried to prove that he did not steal the hat. but the evidence was against him. Mayor Atkins has no love for these sneak thieves, so Cola got all that was com ing to him this morning. He was fined S10O or ninety days on the streets.
 Charlie Bailey, a white man. who was drunk on the streets, was arrest ed late yesterday afternoon. In court this morning he was fined $5.
 Pinky Canty, a negro woman. was In court on the charge of disorderly conduct. The case against her was proven and a fine of s was Imposed.
 Laura King. another negro woman. was up on the charge of vagrancy. Her case was the result of her having had Pinky Canty arrested for disorder ly conduct. She proved that her
