The red Indian in this country ia us

OF dying people, yet the Indians have
1creased rather than diminished in
numbers during the last ten years.
On the other hand, several important
races are swiftly passing out of ex-

history only.
Of these the most interesting is
perhaps, the race of aboriginal blacks
or Australia and the islands close to
the smallest of the worlds continental

that another century will see the last

AS far as religious feelings go the

Thus they stay in each bush camp

CONCERNING THE WILD WEST
Features Which Are Promised With Buffalo Bills Wild West and
 Rough Riders.

It is announced that Buffalo Bill has prepared an entirely new exhibition for his home coming tour. after four years abroad. While, of course, the general style of the exhibition will be the same, there will be a change of scenic fea
 lures, differing from any that have been seen with the show during the twenty-five years it has been before the public. Col. Wm. F. Cody, the last of the great scouts. will appear in the saddle at every performance. leauing his congress of rough riders in some remarkable exhibitions of expert horse manship. Tho chief scenic feature will be The Battle Of Summit Springs. a reproduction of one of the deciding conflicts in Indian warfare; a battle in which Col Cody participated and in which he shot and killed Chief Tall Bull Another pantomimic will be The Great Train Hold-up. in which will be depicted the robbery of a train; prac- tiCal engine, cars and a realistic and true -tO-life representation of one of the many scenes of laWlessness which the west has known. In A Holiday at T. F. Ranch will be pictured the plea sures and pastimes of the plainsman, cowboy sports and a dance upon the green. The contrast to this scene of peaceful revelry will be shown in sudden attack by Indians. The rough riders contingent will display them selves in difficult feats of horseman- ship, hazardous exhibitions of skill and a diverting and exhilarating routine of equestrian eXpertness and daring In short there is no other entertainment like Buffalo BilTs Wild West and after twenty-five years before the public it is more popular than ever and is in every way better equipped than it has ever boou hofOre

 There was no lack of energy and enthusiasm in the way the contest ants worked yesterday. and the race for subscriptions was certainly lively for a few hours after school last night. The top line is still held by little hustIing Joe O'ConneH. Stover Isaac moves up to second place. fol- lowed very closely by Birdie Fowler, who turned in the biggest number of votes.
 Hazel Slankard did the best work of the day, turning in over two thou sand points. Byron Bellas and Maggie Doyle each started their scores yes terday with substantial shOwings. Walter George is working hard. and though not a top liner yet, he will do wonders later. for he is persistent in his efforts Annette Earle and Rob ert Holly made good gains. Mesa did not send in reports. but the con testants there are working and they will ascend by jumps. Paul COrbell and Mildred Manley at Tempe each went up the line for good gains. Others did some heavy work yester- day, but did not turn in their points, preferring to make a bigger showing a little later.
 HELP CONTESTANTS.
 It is realized that the public is interested in these ambitious boys and girls and wishes to help them in their efforts to earn a scholarship that will give them an education which will be the great foundation to a successful start in life. All can help by paying as many months as possible in advance for The Repub lican. Give the contestants your smiles and encourag cement; it is easy to be pleasant and every one is de- serving of your help. Any one inter ested in any particular contestant may subscribe for The Republican, and pay for as many months as wished. and credit the points to the one favored.
 s1,ooo PIANO.
 The contestant that wins the piano will have something that will be pride to the family, and will last for many lifetimes. It is one of the best parlOr grand pianos manufactured, made by Vose & Sons, which name alone stands for guarantee. It was purchased of the Redewill Music com pany where it will be on exhibition. Some boy or girl will win this with two months work. Who is your fla Vorite? Boost for him.
 A VICTOR MACHINE.
 The $50 Victor talking machine is now on exhibition at the Miller Sterling company store, where any one interested may see it and hear it play. It is a beautifully finished machine. and one of the best manu- factured.
