all blue, and upon the front of the
skirt the box plaits are stitched down
so far that the whole skirt front effect
is light blue. At the sides, however,
below the hips the plaits flare to show
the broad white stripes. The decol-
lette bodice is similarly treated as to
stripes and there is square yoke ar

narrow white valenciennes lace. Short
pulled sleeves are finished with double
ruff1es of the material.

circulate among them, seeking votes
this is the strange sight to be wit
messed this week at the old Indian
camping grounds on Bird creek, 10
miles north of this city. There are
the Shawnee Indians tomorrow COM
mence their last great stomp dance,
which will continue three days. In
addition to the hundreds of Shawnees
from all over the new state, a great
host Of redskins Of other tribes are
taking part in the festivities. Nearly
all are garbed in aboriginal costumes.
The Indians realize that with the
coming of statehood and the respon-
sibilities Of citizenship the old free life
must be abandoned and the present
stomp dance thus assumes an unusual
and pathetic significance. Candidates
for office of both political parties are
on hand and will use their utmost en-
deavor to secure the support of the In
dians in the election to be held next
Tuesday.

Red Lodge, Mont. Sept. 8.-Some
excitement was created yesterday
when couple of Films who had been
on a hunting and fishing trip to the
country down below Roberts returned
to the city and reported to the sheriff I
Office that they had found six human
skeletons near the G. c. Huyck ranch.
On their way down the creek the
Films had been compelled to surmount
a high cliff and it was on this the
bones were found. Near the skele-
tons were found a canvas coat, de-
cayed remnants of blankets and a
medical treatise, the latter being
brought in by the hunters. When the
matter was brought to the attention of
old timers residing in this city it was
recalled that number Of years ago d
family of Grow Indians which had
been visiting Red Lodge had mysteri-
ously disappeared while returning to
the reservation, and it is held by some
that the skeletons are the remains of
Crows who were dispatched by a
white man, whose enmity they are
known to have incurred because they
stole his horses. Others think the
hunters merely stumbled upon an old
burying ground of the Grows, it be-
ing the custom Of that tribe to bury its
dead in such isolated localities.

(By Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 9.Iihe news of the
attack on Japanese and Chinese at
Vancouver did not surprise the colon
ial and foreign officials here who had
long expected the outbreak against
Asiatics in Canada, but they have
the greatest confidence that Canada
will be able to suppress any further
disturbance. At the, same time, the
officials realize that serious prop.
lem has arisen, particularly as the
feeling appears to be strong against
the subjects of Great Britain's east
ern allies, that will require most care
full handling, for whatever action is
taken is likely to be resented either
by the colonies or by Japan.
The question has been the subject
of considerable discussion for some
time by the imperial authorities, who
have used their good Offices on num-
erous occasions to, prevent the enact.
ment of anti-Japanese legislation by
British Columbia. All the cabinet
ministers are out of town at present,
but the colonial and foreign office
seeks to obtain all the information
possible on the subject of the Var
couver riots with a view of taking
some action, an idea of which it is
difficult to surmise.
