5000 INDIANS
attend CHURCH
Great Gathering Of Indian | /
Presbyterians and Con-
gregatiOnalists at Stand
ing ROCk...TOOk Twenty
Three BeeVes to Feed
the ThrOng

The conference of seventeen Con-
gregational and thirty Presbyterian
Dakota Indian churches has been in
session this past week at Fort Yates.
Curator Fish Of the State Historical
society returned from there Monday
noon and reports pleasant trip.
These gatherings have been going
on since 1872 and this one was by far
the largest on record. They are held
for the discussion Of the doctrines,
morals and the business end of the
churches. ..
Although these discussions were in
the Dakota tongue they were full of
thought for the onlooker. The meet
ings of the men and the women and
the mixed meetings were led by the
Indian workers and all the proceed
ings were carried on under parlia-
mentary rules. 1t was surprising to
see the ability and energy displayed
at these gatherings.

one mile south of Fort Yates and
the $40 tents were arranged in a vast
circle some two miles in circumfer-
ence. The large audience tent was on
the western part of the field. -
Just after the sunset, as the twi-
light was giving way to the darkness,
the different churches had their yes.
per services in front of their tents.
From here and there over the field
the old fashioned songs could be
heard and If one was near enough
the Dakota words could be recogniz-
ed. After a couple of quiet songs
and short prayer in their tongue
they slowly went to their tents and
teepees and made ready for the even
ing services. s'
The feeding Of this crowd was a
big undertaking. Twenty-three beeves
were killed and ten more were wait
ing If needed. Then too, $500 was
spent on -four, bacon, rice and other
raw food materials. H.. -: 49,.

noted Indian ministers. They preach
ed with force and vigor using many
gestures in giving illustrations. Johr

conspicuously in the lead as force.

BEATING Women.

"If 1t is true that national adages
give an insight into the ideas Of peo-

must occupy strange position in Rus

your wife as much as your mule and
another tells the good man, Shake your
wife as you would fruit tree That
woman Is not considered frail is shown
by the adage, You may safely beat
your wife with a broom handle, for

MADE AS If TO HOLD UP
THE PARTY. \

I Saturday evening as Sheriff McGilHs
and his family were driving ho1neward
from Fort Lincoln two soldiers fort
ward bound refused to give the road
and as the sheriff was trying to drive
around them, one of the men grabbed
the brides and yelled Justify, and the
horses began to rear and plunge. The
other man went to the rig as though
to hold up it's occupants, with many
and divers strange cuss words.
The sheriff told the men who he was
and ordered them to get out of the
way. but could not leave the wagon,
as he had all he could do to hold the
scared horses and keep the rig from
tipping over. On the announcement
that he was the sheriff the men ragged
worse than ever, and threatened to
pull the rig over, when Duncan man
aged to get out his gun and threat
ened to shoot, which made them run
away. but not before the sheriff had
noted the company letter on their
caps. .4ss.
On reaching town Mr.. McGillis Sc
cured the names OF the ruffians from
some of their comrades, and Sunday
morning laid the matter before the
post commandment, who had the men
on the carpet and then turned them
over to the sheriff, who brought them
to town. Monday they were fined SIS
and costs, which they paid, and prob
ably got another touch when they got
back to the post.

THE VO0DOO IN HAITI.
Human Sacrifices to the God of the
Serpent.

Human Sacrifices to the God Of the
Serpent.
There Is ample proof that human be-
ings have been offered as sacrifices to
the god of the serpent in Haiti. A
French archbishop Of the island de-
scribes visit made by one Of the
priests to voodoo assembly. The
man had disguised himself as a negro,
and he was thus able to mingle unde-
tected with the crowd in the ohscurity
outside the sacred circle. After the
white cock and white goat had been
slain and offered up and their blood
had been sprinkled on the company q
,burly young negro came forward and
prostrated himself before the priestess.
Then, still kneeling, he made his
prayer: sr~~
20 manan, have a favor to ask Of
thee"
"What is it, my sonw said the
negress encouragingly.
''Wilt thou not give us, to complete
the sacrifice, the goat without horns?'
The priestess gave a sign Of assent.
The crowd roundabout separated, and
there was revealed child sitting with
its feet bound. The French priest
rushed away in search of assistance In
preventing the unholy rite, but the
authorities on whom he called were
strangely slothful. When finally, OF
the day following, they arrived at the
place Of assembly, they found the

The Sea Serpent MYTH,

1t is possible, even probable, that the
sea serpent myth started in all good
faith. In the southern seas grow the
gigantic algae, the largest of which
measure from 400 to 600 feet in length.
These when rolled on the beach form
enormous cables several hundred feet
long and as thick as good sized tree
trunk. Such cables washed out to sea
by storms may very easily have given
rise to the farfamed but yet undiscov-
cred sea serpent.-New York Ameri-

To cheat the government of what is
coming to it seems to many women
but venial fault. They may have
conscientious objections to a customs
tariff; or they may have found some
inner self-iustification in the fact that
most men swear off their personal
taxes. They will awake to the realiza-
tion of their culpability at about the
same time that all street car passen-
gers thrust their nickels on the con
ductor who has overlooked them. Per-

To EstabIlsI, AGES

Difficulties are in the preparations
that are being made for the payment
Of old age pensions in Great Britain
and Ireland in January. One OF the
most serious of these is the veriaca-
ton Of the applicants. Compulsory
registration of births was introduced
into England in 1886, but similar act
was not enforced in Ireland till 1863,
and in Scotland till 1854 1t is believ-
ed that in Scotland the old parochial
registers OF births and deaths will
serve the purpose. Those in existence
before 1856 were forwarded to the
registrar general at Edinburgh. In
Ireland the difficulty will be more
acute. Many OF these old parish reg
listers have been destroyed or mis-.
laid. and where they do exist they are
untrustworthy Apart from this, In
nearly every case it is not the date OF
birth but the date of baptism that is
recorded. 1t seems probable, however
that the local committees and the
pension officers will be content to
accept what may be regarded as a
reasonable proof Of age.
