SUN DANCE AGAIN
CHEYENNEs INDULGE IN THEIR
ToRTURING FESTIVITIES
Government, After Trying TO Abolish
Practice. Decides It Will Not In
terfere with Religious
Ceremonies.

The sun dance is a tribal ceremonial
of the Cheyennes which to them is
of the most solemn religious impor-
lance, and the government, after try
ing to suppress the torturing dance
and failing, has decided to let the In
dams have their way, and this year
the dance has been held with all its
old-time CORY features.
OF course it is only the incidental
torture that has been deemed objec-
tionable. This is so frightful and pro-
longed, it occasionally resulting even
in the death of the chief performer,
that civilized sentiment has strongly
urged the prohibition of the rites
On the other hand, the self-torture
is voluntarily undertaken in fulfill
ment of a VOW or pledge made by a
single individual Finding himself in
imminent danger of death, by disease
or from some other cause, he makes
oath to devote his body to the per-
Torrance of the fearful penance in
question. if the gods will rescue him
from the immediate peril. If, there
upon, he survives, he makes formal
announcement of his obligation and
readiness to undergo the ordeal, the
date for which is appointed by the
priests.
AT the same time, the sun dance is !
a festival of creation Its form Of
ceremonial commemorate the making
of the ancient world by the Great
Medicine and the Roaring Thunder
from Above, who is the chief of the
air and winds. 1t represents the crea-
ton of the earth and all that is ON it, |
the water and its fishes, the blue sky, |
the sun, moon and stars, the clouds !
and the rainbow.
One of the most important features
of the festival is the erection of a |
huge lodge, somewhat after the fash |
ion of a circus tent, which is sup
posed to represent the ancient world, !
as it was in days of ever so long ago |
There is also a tall tree denuded of
its branches and set up as a Sacred |
pole from the top of which hang |
two long rawhide thongs The ends
of these thongs are fastened in the |
flesh of the breast of the man who |
undergoes the ordeal.
Knives are also thrust through the
flesh of the man on his back and hips /
and shorter thongs are passed through /
the loops thus made. To the end OF
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1906-09-20

each one of these four thongs a buffalo
skull is securely tied, so that it will
drag on the ground 1t is the business
eff the involuntary victim to dance
about the pole until the thongs are
jerked from his breast, and then to
run until. those attached to his back
and hips are pulled loose.
Meanwhile his klnsmen stand
around, chanting weird ceremonial
songs and urging him to bear his suf-
ferings bravely. Everybody takes part
in one way or another, under the di.
rection of the priests, dancing and BY
other means working themselves up
into quasi-religious enthusiasm, and
the celebration lasts several DAYS.
Usually the torture undergone by the
principal performer continues for a
number of hours, the blood running
down his body in streams and occa.
sionally 1t happens that he dies before
he is able to release himself.
The Cheyennes seem always to have
had remarkable appetite for this sort
of thing. When the ghost dance made
such trouble with the prairie Indi.
ans a few years ago, stirring them
up to hostilities against the whites.
they took prominent part in it. And
until recently they were accustomed
to indulge in a ceremonial fire dance.
in which the initiated pranced about
upon red-hOt Goals until they extin-
guished them with their bare feet. II
is not known with certainty how they
managed to do this without being
burned.
They also have a cactus dance. in
the course of which the performers
acquire a curious sort Of Jag" by
chewing the hearts of a species Of
cactus. The effect produced seems to
be something like that of hasheesh,
the person thus intoxicated being lift
ed out of himself. as it were-wide
awake, yet dreaming One heart Pee
hour is sufficient to maintain the con-
dition described for days together, the
dreaming being encouraged by a mo-
notonous drumming.

Thirteen of the above species fed on

and II during the winter months, two
species feeding upon the insect both
in summer and winter About Is per
cent. of the stomachs of these birds
contained boil weevil remains, and the
total number of weevils eaten by them
amounted to 40 per cent. of the mum
Der of birds examined.
The orioles prove to be the great
est destroyArs of weevils in summer.
and their near relatives, the black.
birds and meadow larks, in winter.
Orioles, because of their bright plum
age, have until recently been extens.
lively used for millinery purposes. and
thus their numbers have been much
reduced. Thousands were slaughtered
not alone in the United States, but in
Central America, where they pass the
winter. In view of their great value
as weevil destroyers every effort
should be made to prevent their de-
struction for any purpose whatever.
The same suggestion applies with al
most equal force to the nighthawk
which is strictly insectivorous and is
shown to be an enemy of the boil
weeyil. During the migrations the
nighthawk occurs in certain sections
Of the south in great numbers and is
frequently shot wantonly or for food
The bird should everywhere and at all
times be protected.
In the case of an insect so destruc.
tive as the boil weevil, which has
thus far defied all attempts at re-
straint and is steadily extending its
ravages into new territory, every
natural check to its increase should
be encouraged. Though the extent of
the services rendered by the avian
enemies of the insect may sometimes
seem small or cyl pm insignificant, in
reality their cumal atiye eject is very
important

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure OF modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate OF potash,
separating it from it's heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate OF
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for a1bumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built 1t will not answer
10 take the crude phosphate of potash
of the drug shop, for nature rejects it.
The elementary mineral must be pre-
sented through food directly from ma
lures laboratory.

Washington, May 3-That the Cali

evident in the senate yesterday The
question came up on Mr.. Newlands'

slider a government guarantee Of
bonds to aid the city Both Mr.. Flint
and Mr.. Perkins deprecated the intro

was referred to the committee on
finance.
Mr. Daniel concluded his speech on

Friday.

Washington, May 5. - The senate
yesterday entered upon the considera-
ton of amendments to the railroad
rate bill under the fifteen-minute rule,
but made little progress. The greater
part of the day was devoted to Mr..
Lodges provision bringing pipe lines
within the terms of the bill, and it was
ultimately unanimously agreed to, af-
ter so amending it as to exclude gas
and water lines from its operation,
thus practically combining it to oil lines.
A proposition by Mr.. Foraker TO ex-
clude refrigerator cars from the re-
uuirements of the bill, and another by
Mr.. McCumber making the require
ments concerning those cars more
stringent than in the original bill were
impartially voted down.
The house spent another day in con-
sideration Of the naval appropriation
bill, the speeches in large measure be-
ing in support of the bill and the naval
program therein outlined.
A feature Of yesterdays session was
the close attention paid by the house
to the reading of the presidents mes
sage on oil transportation and the
generous applause which was accord
ed it on it's conclusion.

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace"
of the American people since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodeling, reno
walton and repair Every American
citizen is owner of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part Of
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City An item in the
renovation of the remodeled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is SO called--because it is lit
orally white house" The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti
full trees, produce a very satisfying
effect of dignified simplicity white
paint from a practical point of view
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
Of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and sec
ond because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ISL yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the white House" So the
renovators, making the best Of a dis
cOuraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable
The average citizen if asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decided
on would probably answer white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The saint selected as the
best obtainable was a ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
well furnished village store,t such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-hve million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
a different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
H.
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find moi hing else as good.

Thursday.

Washington, May 4. = Yesterday
was the last day for general debate in
the senate on the railroad rate bill,
and it was fully occupied. Following
a brief speech by Mr.. Nelson, Mr.
Tillman tried to. show, by criticism of
individual judges, that the power of
granting temporary injunctions by in
ferior United States courts should be
taken from them in interstate COM
merce cases, and he was followed by
Messrs. Bacon, Bailey, Teller and
Foraker in speeches of some length.
The army appropriation bill, carry
ing an appropriation of about 4,O0O,-
900, was passed.
! The naval appropriation bill, which
carries nearly $1O0,000,00O, was taken
up by the house yesterday.

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleepIeSs?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us.
ually due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood
they are starved nerves. DR. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
Tteh blood, and thereby the nerves arc
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
cines which have q large, booming sale
for a short time, is that they are largely
composed Of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly Injuries the system. One may feel
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality

Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge Of Honesty, in a full list of all it's

offer you something he claims is '1just as
good" is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Ruined Temple.

When the wind first began to roar
and shrek over the hill on which
Lord Chugmough and William had
pitched their temporary camp, the first
disastrous result was that their horses,
which, perhaps, knew enough to rec
ognize the warning in the sound, broke
their bounds and galloped away.
AS the patter of their feet on the
hillside died away, Lord Chugmough
shrugged his shoulders.
''Our losses ave gone, me lord,' said
William.
$50 have discovered, William" was
the calm reply. But I was getting
rather weary of the brutes, to tell the
truth. We will walk awhile now"

Monday.

WASHINGTON, May s. = The senate
again yesterday spent the major part
of it's time on one amendment, but in
stead of accepting it adopted a substi-
tute. The provision which was made
the basis of the discussion was that
suggested by Mr.. Foraker prohibiting
the granting of rebates, passes, draw
backs, or special rates TO passengers
on RAILWAYS, and also prohibiting dis
examinations in the way of accommo-
dations where equal rates are paid.
The substitute adopted was as fol-
lows:
"That no carriers engaging in inter
state commerce shall, directly or 1ndl-
rectly, issue or give any free ticket,
free pass or free transportation to any
person except the officers, agents, en-
ployes and attorneys exclusively IN
the service of the carrier issuing the
same, or to ministers of religion, in
mates of hospitals, eleemosynary or
charitable institutions. Any carrier
violating this provision shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall for each offense pay to the Uni
ted States a penalty not less than
500 nor more than $4,000"
Notwithstanding that this was the
speakers birthday, the house, after a
splendid demonstration to Mr.. Cannon
as he assembled to the speakers table,
settled down to one of the biggest
days in the history OF the present SEES
sion. The day was notable for the
number of bills passed, forty-five in
number, covering wide range of sub
jects.

Powerful Torpedo.

The new torpedo of the United States
navy is one of the most powerful sea
weapons IN existence. 1t will travel more
than two and a quarter miles, or twice
the range of the Whitehead torpedo,
which it supersedes. The new missile
is turbine driven. The government will
purchase and construct 400 of these tor
pedoes at cost of several millions.
