BELLA cooLA DOOR KNoCKER.
An odd Device Above an Indian
 Aristocrat's Doorway.

An Odd Device Above an Anu1an
 Aristocrat's Doorway.
 Perhaps the strangest door knocker fin the world may be seen in the pagan Indian village at Bella Coola, about halfway up the coast of British Co lumbia, an exchange says.
 It consists of a wooden carving rep resenting a man. The arms are nov able and between the hands is held knocker, apparently so formed as to represent the stone hammer the Bella Coolas used generations ago. Across the knees is a board, like part of the wooden drum these Indians formerly used much more extensively than to- day When the arms are raised the hammerlike knocker may be dropped so as to make terrific knocking on the board.
 This figure, instead of being fast ened on the door of the house, stands above it, but the doorway is low and the knocker is easily reached. These Indians are fond of tobacco. but sell the knocker handled his cigar as clumsily as he wore the ready-made white mans clothing, which is also new to him and his people.
 Above the door is an interesting inscription, the pride of his family. This has been put up in honor of one of his ancestors and it reads:
 "In memory of Chief Clelamen, who died July, 1893, aged 50 years. He was honest we'll disposed & respect ed by both whites and Indians. In December, 1892, he gave away with the help of his sons, Alexander Johnny, property in blankets. canoes, etc, valued at $4.OOO, this being his eighth large potlatch & feast that he had held"
 This sign is painted and was appar- ently made by a white man, but the wording and the arrangement of the lines show that the work was done to order.
 The reference to the giving away of blankets and canoes is characteris- tic of these people. By so doing they gained not only an aristocratic posi- tion in the tribe, but also credit, for the property was ALWAYS T0IurneQ WlLn interest and feasting in due course of time.
 At first this latter fact was not un- derstood by the missionaries and In- Indian agents, who supposed that the potlatch was a boastful wasting of property. They caused law to be passed in British Columbia making it a criminal offense to give a potlatch, and many Indians have been impris- oned for disobeying the law by con- tinuing their forefathers' methods of financial investment, but nowadays the law is no longer enforced.
 Sometimes property was given away for the benefit of sons and daughters. When they became certain age they had in consequence an aristocratic po- sition and credit of which they were as proud as are the sons of families l of social position in New York or else | where This class of potlatch may be | iikened to endowment insurance.
 Occasionally property was given ]

Kansas City today. He looks tired

apparent physical inaptitude, he
lacked no enthusiasm when he furth-

at the insurgents and insurgency.
II do not want the insurgents
shot," said Cannon. Il never said
anything like that. This is a cam
paign of peace, not war. In war the
insurgents certainly would be shot,
for they are guerillas, fighting for
both sides. Because Senator Bristow
and handful of others were unable
to swing the tariff the way they want
ed they started guerilla fighting. They
aided the Democrats, yet every manly
Democrat hates them. Nobody likes
a traitor Though 1 do not want
guerillas shot, they should be con-

NEGRO IN
DANGER OF
MOBBING

Grants Pass, Ore, July 2O.-(Spe-
cial to Capital JournaD IS. R.
Reynolds, the negro porter, who was
arrested here yesterday morning for
an alleged assault on little 3-year-old
Josephine Moss, is still in the county
jail, but will likely be taken to Rose
burg today, where the preliminary
hearing will be held. The sheriff
watched the jail all night, as q lsImor
was afloat to the effect that a mob
had been organized to take Reynolds
out and lynch him, and it is said that
all that was lacking was a determined
leader.
Reynolds covered every opening If
his cell with blankets, fearing that
some one might shoot him through
the windows.
Miss Moss identified Reynolds as
the man. Reynolds, when interviewed
this morning, was sullen and said he
would not talk until he got an attor-
ney. The officers are in hopes they
can get the prisoner to the train with
out the people knowing of it, as it IS
feared that a crowd may congregate,
and cause trouble.

BLACK ROCK
FOREST FIRE
UNDER CONTROL

According to advices received this
afternoon from Black Rock the fire
fighters, who for the past week have
been combating a forest fire in that
vicinity, now have it under control
and all danger of 1t further spreading
is past.
The fire has consumed considera-
BILE timber, and done much damage in
general, and in the last few days it
was feared that it would reach some
of the logging camps of the Spauld-
ing Lumber company, and also the
town of Black Rock. The fire fight
ers now, however, have it under
better control than ever before, and
unless a high wind should rise it is
not believed any further damage
will be done.

they assert that her condition is due
to the privations she has undergone
as a result of. the religious mania
which controls her. She does not
know, they declare, that she is a
sufferer from this disease but thinks
that the wasting away of her body
is a sacrifice for Sturdevant and
that her suffering will shorten his
term of punishment.

leader of a band of religious fana-

ton. In Baltimore they allege, he
beat a woman with leather belt.
He did not deny the charge, they de-
clare, but said that he was driving
the devil from the woman's body.
The three white girls were found
as the result of a search conducted
by Olga Branton, who travelled from
Norway in search of the Johnson
girl. When, she found her she re-
ported to the police and through the
Clues furnished by Miss Johnson the
other alleged victims of the negro
fanatic were discovered.
Addie Codding and Gertrude
Monson had been living in the room
in which the Codding girl was found.
The Codding girl was almost insane
from hunger. There was no food In
the room in the little hovel in the
negro quarter where she was found.
Her religious frenzy had not been
dampened by her experience, and
though she was so weak that her
voice quavered and sank, she sang
increasingly a peculiar chant which
the police say is part of the Stur
devant religion.
When she had been cared for, Miss
Codding defended the negro preach
er.

Sturdevant, it is declared, had a
negro wife in Baltimore when he
married the Johnson girl. 1t is for
this that he has been put in Jail,
