INDIAN DICTIONARY.
Tribe in Iowa Uses Syllables Instead
of Alphabet.

Tribe In Iowa Uses Syllables Instead
of Alphabet.
A dictionary of the Musquakie In
dian language is to be compiled by
Professor Duren H. Ward Of the State
University of Iowa for the State His
torical society, and when completed
the work will be the first of any of
the Indian tongue of this peculiar
tribe to appear in print, says the st.
Louis POST Dispatch. Mr.. Ward has
spent the entire summer at the reser-
walton In Tama county, each of Eldora,
ana has succeeded in preserving many
interesting manuscripts, treaties and
documnts of the Musquakies.
The MusQuakies have no alphabet
as the Anglo-Saxon speaks of alpha
bets and letters, but they have a Ian
guage which conveys every possible
shade of meaning. All thought is con-
veyed by the Indians In this reserya-
ton by the use of syllables, sand the
total numbr of these, according to
Professor Ward, is about 500. Every
syllable begins with a consonant and
ends with a vowel. The Indians bor-
row no words, forming their own
terms out of these ,syllables. Among
their consonant sounds they have no
sounds like t, j, or 2, but, on the
other hand, have sounds from the
following letters and syllables -bw,
pw, by, py. tw. DIV, ty, dy, sy, jw, ky,
gy, INV, n and my.
Professor Ward accomplished
number of objects in his summers
work and has successfully photo
graphed every member of the tribe, Sc
cured valuable history and data from
the chief and his assistants and has a
complete list of all persons on the
reservation, together with valuable
data concerning the lands and prop
erty owned by the Indians.

book is written amid the shadows Of
Sinai and during the fifty days before
Israel broke up camp there and

A Grand Forks preacher. who In his
early days had charge of a small
church in southern Ohio, tells this one
on himself:
The congregation was small and
poor. We needed hymn books badly,
but there was no money at hand with
which to buy them. An agent for a
hymn book CHANGED along and was
telling him our troubles and explain
Ing the reason that We could not place
an order.
"Oh l can fix that up all right" said
the agent. Our firm has q set of
books which we furnish to churches in
your financial fix. A little advertising
matter is slipped in and II you do not
object to this l will have the books
sent to you"
I'VE were only too glad to accept the
books under the terms prescribed and
In the course Of time they were duly
delivered. One Sunday announced
that we would sing No. AZ, and you
can imagine my establishment and CON
sternation when the congregation in
one grand chorus sang:
"Hark! The herald angels sing.
Bowser's pills are just the thing,
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
Two for man and one for child"

nut lovers who watched the sun rise
yesterday morning, were not there for
any such purpose, but were, instead,

Dave Braham Jr., who plays Push
Miller In Checkers" and Lydia Dick
son who plays Cynthia, are writing
vaudeville sketch in which they will
appear next summer.
The Maid and the Mummy Tonight.
Washington Stubbs, the principal
character in THE Maid and the Num-
my" is pursued by Trixie Evergreen,
an actress. Finally Stubs in desper-
alton, says: I'll have to marry that
woman just to be in position to get
legal separation from her." The
troubles of this queer pair are only
one of the bits that go to make 1.-THE
Maid and the Mummy such a perfect
musical play. This merry melange by
Richard earle and Robert Hood Bow
ers will appear at the Metropolitan
Theatre tonight
Manager Askin, of "The Umpire"
rewards the lively "broilers" who play,
the game of football in that entertain
ment, by bestowing prize of IS each,
on the members of the side which
scores the more points during the
week. This is not done as an inspira-
ton for more enthusiasm in the con-
test, since in that element it excels
the real thing" but simply in the
way OF appreciation for really re-
markable and difficult piece of work.
In this connection 1t Is interesting to
note that in the first fortnight of it's

eight records for high receipts, most
of them having been in the possession
of Miss Viola Allen, whose phenomenal

ma, and which Is new play this sea-
son, is another girl among the many,
who in recent years have come from
prominent families. who have succeed
ed and made fine reputation in the
theatrical world. Miss Frankenfield
is a college girl and from her early
childhood and all through her college
life, she was determined to make the
stage her life's work, and finally adopt
ed the stage for her profession. Here
she has appeared in classic drama,
and the change this season to west
ern and society play, will be mark
ed contrast.
"A Daughter OF Colorado" is a refin-
ed story of love triumph over money,
which Is rather a novelty in these days,
and is unfolded In Il delightfully."- pleas
Ing and unique manner. Tears and
laughter are crowded. into pretty
scenes, the comedy being of the quite
humorous sort. and interspersed with
witty and brilliant lines. The first
act is laid in the foothills OF Colorado,
at the Mosher homestead, or ranch.
which is the home of Molly Mosher,
the character which Miss Frankenfield
will portray, and as the curtain rings

KEEPING IN THE GRADE.

With the opening of the city schools
on Monday will come the ever present
matter of adjusting the pupils to the
grades in which they properly belong.
This, of course is largely done in the
promotions, but the annoying ones are
those where parents are not satisfied
with the assignments of the children
and seek to have them changed at the
beginning of the year,
There is a certain amount of
justifiable pride in the desire of par
ents to have their children advanced
as rapidly as possible, and to have
them preserve their standing with
their classmates. But this should not
influence them in assisting the teach
ers and school officers in placing the
child in the grade where it will receive
the greatest good.
1t is we'll in this particular to re-
member that because the child adj
vances slowly in its classwork is no in
dication that it is not mentally as
bright as the ones who surpass ii
In the presented course. The brightest
intellects of the world have been
mediocre in youth. They plodded and
laid the foundations for an education
broad and deep and when age had
matured the mind they were able to
build upon that foundation an intel
lectual structure which could not be
shaken.
Lincoln would not as a youth have
been able to compete with the boys of
the intermediate grades in the public
schools today, but he had developed
the power of concentration and ap-
plication, and upon them unconscious
ly built an education that has been the
marvel of the world. He hardly knew
the nature of rhetoric, but he had
made the fundamental principles of
the language part Of himself, and at
Gettysburg he delivered extemporan-
eously, an address that has become
a classic, rivaling in grace, force and
polish the best studied efforts of the
greatest rhetoricians.
So it is with the child in the school
today. He may not rush from grade

BRYAN'S BREAK.

The advocacy of government owner
ship of the railroads by Mr.. Bryan has
stirred up storm of protest through
out the south. Not only is that section
still thoroughly welded to the idea of
states rights, and therefore opposed
to an enlargement of federal power,
but the plan of government ownership
has touched one of the modern idols
of the south.
Gradually the adoption of Jim crow
cars has been extended until nearly
every southern state now has a law
requiring the transportation Of white
and colored people in separate
coaches. No law save those which pre-
vent what the south terms negro
domination, has been more ardently
favored by the southern democrats
than those preventing the informing
ling of the races while travelling.
If the railroads were placed un-
der federal control, under the provis-
ions OF the freedman amendments, the
negro would be entitled to the same
privileges as the whites, and in as
much as the federal government is
superior to those of the states, the
latter in the south would be unable to
enforce their doctrine of Jim crowism
upon the public. The only lines where
separate coach plan could be enforced
would be those under the regulations
OF the states, which according to Mr..
Bryan's plan would include only those
exclusively engaged in business with
in the state
The. south has always been account
ed, solidly democrats and no ques-
tions asked. But never since slavery
days has the south been brought face
to face with question which goes to
the very core of southern sentiment. 1t
could swallow the free silver PROPOSE
ton principally because it had been op-
posed by the republican party. 1t was

Imperialism emblazoned on the banner
OF their political faith because it was
anti-republican. They were even will
ing to return to the advocacy of gold.
for it did not touch any of their local
institutions.
But when one of the things which
the south believe in next to its re-
ligion is advocated by the party which
has always claimed it's allegiance, it
1s doubtful if even the hatred against
the opposition party would prevent
many of the more radical of the south
erners from supporting the ticket and
In all probability breaking the solid
south SO far as the democracy is con-
cerned.
Bryan has in all probability in his
desperation to find an issue around
which he could rally the divided and
forlorn democracy, made the greatest
political blunder of his life, one which
his eloquence cannot explain away and
which his party zeal will not Offset

is student of practical economics and
his speeches are as full of thought
along these lines as an egg is full of
meat.
He showed in that speech that the
great socialistic danger in this country
lies in the increase of the importance
of the cities over the country. In
1880 the proportion OF people engaged
in agricultural pursuits as compared
with the entire population was 44.3
per cent while in 1900 it had shrunk
to S5.7. This condition was brought
about in the face of the fact that mil
lions of immigrants had reached our
shores during the decade mentioned
and had been assimilated by our
population.
The trouble is that too much OF the
population is congregating in the cities
The efforts to give employment to
the people of the cities according to
Mr.. Hill has resulted in an over
development of our manufactures.
And so long as there remains market
for the products of the factories that
branch of our industries will prove
profitable. But the danger lies in the
fact that competitors may arise who
will be able to destroy our enterprises
through the medium of cheap labor.
1t is then that Mr.. Hill believes the
land will become the great supporting
base OF our population. According to
his figures the arabic lands in this
country, without taking another acre
from the forest, should support
population of 650,OO0,0 900, or practically
eight times what 1t is now.
But on this basis Mr.. Hill must in
clude the proportion of people engaged
in manufacturing pursuits which pre-
serve the balance between the two
great industries. 1t must be admitted
that if all the population were en-
gagged in agriculture there would be
no market for the products of the
farm, and conditions would revert to
what they were in savagery wherein
every man provided for his own wants
and did not attempt to engage in bar
ter which is the foundation Of
modern commerce.
The equilibrium must be preserved.
The west needs more manufactures
to bring to it a class OF nonproducing
people who can consume the products
of the farm. The cities of the east are
becoming over-populous and the in
habitants correspondence reduced in
opportunities and wealth. The one
thing which Mr.. Hill did not suggest
and which is as important as the
preservation of the rural population,
is the need of preserving the ratio be-
tween the cities.
