Miss Fletcher is a musician as we'll as an
ethnologist. She, therefore, has been able
to give to the world in a volume called
Indian Story and Song the results OF
her observation Of music among the In
dams. one song in this book displays the
anti-race suicide sentiments Of a phllos-
opher who has noted the care with which
a ground sparrow protects the progeny IN
the nest. Another gives the notes Of a
young lover watching his inamorata draw
water from a spring.
ut is my hope Miss Fletcher says,
that these Indian motifs may be used for
songs distinctly American, as the folk
songs Of Europe have been used by the
modern school of music from Bach on. l
don't mean, of course, that we shall have
the tunes exactly in the original form.
They will go through an evolution, just as
man himself has done, until the genius
arises who can put the music of our ma
tive people into a wonderful symphony. ]

Peter Olson Dies AZ the south Omaha

on the Head by a
Vicious Horse.

The members of the National Construc-

Ign have returned after having made the
purchase of a number of hydraulic jacks
to be used in the construction of the Mud
creek sewer. These jacks are to be used
behind the working shield and will push the
shield forward. 1t was found impossible
to use lever jacks as the levers interfered
with the other operations too much. This
working shield is to be used at the east
end Of the tunnel and is necessary there
to hold up the formation known as block
clay. This is a clay which is divided into
blocks varying in size by a thin stratum Of
sand-bearing iron and resembling in color
iron rust. These divisions cause the
blocks Of clay to fall out with )ut warning
on the workmen below them. For lack of
the proper appliance for working this clay
the sewer work. has been suspended for
several months at the east end Of the tun-
mel. 1t Is thought with the new apparatus
the work can be made secure.
