PASTOR B|GELOW ON LIFE AND REuG|ON

Last Monday a man walked into
the police station. stated that he had
stolen a ciothes-wringer and asked
that he be arrested. The police were
incredulous and made investigation.
They found the wringer where he
said he had hidden II and the man
got a coveted three months sentence
in the work-house.
This same day another man came In
and requested that he be arrested.
The police sent him away. Later he
appeared drunk. Then the prison
doors were more hospitable. The next
morning, in police court, when he was
sentenced to n term in the work house

said with evident satisfaction: "I

POWER OF INDIAN POLICE.
Test Case is Being Heard Now al
Lewiston.

one OF the most important ques-
tons that ever came before United
states Commissioner O'Nein was rails
ed in the criminal charge against
John E. Smith, says the Lewiston
Tribune. The question is as to the ex-
tent OF the rights of the Indian police
and how far they shall be protected
by Law. The settlement of this case
in the federal court will be watched
with interest. as 1t will have a bear
inG upon the police systems of many
reservations aside from the Nez Perce.
Heretofore the Indian police have
confined their work to their fellow
tribesmen or outside Indians, but in
this case Policeman Types has dared
10 assert authority over a white man.
He has even dared to search a white
man. suspecting that the palefaee was
carrying liquor ON the reservation.
When Types took an empty bottle
out of Smiths pocket the other day
the latter became enraged and struck
the Indian in the face. The Indian.
finding the bottle empty, returned it
to Smith and left.
But F. C. Mattoon. the agent in
charge of the reservation. did not pro-
pose to have his officers of the law
assaulted in such manner and Sc
cured warrant for the arrest of
Smith, charging him with resisting an
officer. The arrest was made by
Deputy United States Marshal Shaft
ner Judge o'NeiIl bound Smith over
TO appear before the United States
court with bond fixed at S4O0.
The system of Indian police is es-
tablished under direction of the de-
partment OF Indian affairs The agent
is given authority to nominate his po-
lice. who are in turn appointed by the
department and paid a regular salary.
So far as is known here the scope
Of the duties have never been settled
Types had received instructions from
Agent MattOon to seize and destroy
all liquor found on the reservation.

Aggregation of High Class Musicians
and Specialists


The setting of the first part with
the popular Vests minstrels this sea

usual admiration given this feature OF
minstrel program. The setting is
declared to be quite elaborate, the
colOrs cerise and gold. harmonizing
wonderfully in the general effect. Il
Is also claimed, and admitted on all
sides that Manager Rieaby has out
done all his former efforts in the or
sanizing Of company and putting to-
gsther an entertainment that is con-
sidered quite remarkable for its in
ti-insic merit and artistic thorough
ness. With constant attention TO the
wants OF his patrons. and the pro-
sressive and liberal management al
ways displayed by Manager Ricaby, it
is not to be wondered at, that the
name OF West minstrels is always ac-
cepted as a positive guarantee to the
lovers OF minstrelsy the country
over. The principal comedians this
season are: Tom Mack. Geo. 5. Wade.
McDevitt & Kelly and hosts of others
whose names stand for the best in
minstrelsy. A special feature is the
recent engagement OF Frederick V.

BOOK NOTES

Gertrude Atherton's novel 1.-THE

full of brilliant dialogue and exquisite
bits of description. The tale concerns
the adventures of party of Americans
who travel through Spain third class.

contact with the people of that coun-
try. The heroine, Catalina Shore, is
as independent, as original. as re-

tional denouement. The Smart Set has
published a long line of novelettes

but Mrs. Atherton's latest piece OF

measure of praise.

Well after I heard the circus men talk
about what they would do to the preacher l

out Of the tent with the bulldog hanging to
his coat tails. He put his hand on his pistol
pocket and pulled long, blue gun about half
way out and let it drop back down beside his
leg, and he winked at me and said he guessed

tough that circus gang was Sunday school

The big fellow dropped on to the blue seat
as though he had been hit with pedriver,
and the crowd was so tickled to have the bully s
bluff called that they cheered the preacher.
Then he said: I'VE will now open this jack pot
with singing, and shall keep one eye on the
gentleman who was last up, but who is now
seated pretty low down."
You could have heard pin drop.

said "We will now sing and l expect every

Id Prose Writimgs of Artistic Leroy IE. M0sher

~ALIFORNIANS who have long
cherished in their memories
lines or whole stanzas from "The
Stranded Bugle" will welcome d
new book bearing the title of the
famous poem by Leroy E. Mosher
1t is now nearly thirty years since the
author, known to thousands as the
Eagle" penned the poem that found
its way to fame. In those thirty years
Mr.. Mosher wrote much that was real
literature. From the columns of the
Times friends have culled poems, edi-
torials and paragraphs and these are
republished in a volume that should
Libraries in every part of the United
States.
"The Stranded Bugle and Other
Poems and Prose" appears in most at
tractive form. Clearly printed and
beautifully bound it appeals to the eye
as an artistic piece of bookmaking. The
frontispiece is a fine half tone portrait
of the author.
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis contributes
the introduction, a sincere, strongly
written appreciation of an old-time
friend and a valued employe, In re-
ferring to their long association Gen.
Otis says: "That relationship was not
merely personal and social; it was also
journalistic and business; and through
1t all he proved to be the true man, the
steadfast friend, the lovable companion,
the willing co-worker, the honorable
gentleman. These testimonies it is my
duty and pleasure to give here"
Tributes from Mr.. Mosher's co-work-
ers form not the least interesting part
OF this noteworthy book. Those who
give to their former associate the we'll
earned need of praise have been most
successful in presenting the character
of Mr.. Mosher to the public. Each in
