Homer Davenport. the oartoonist.

Homer Davenport, the oartoonist,
who died the other day in New YORK,
In life never lost an opportunity to
speak a good word for his native state,
Oregon. His home town, SilveIton.
was put on the map through many
oarioatures and lectures by the great
artist. Davenport counted his friends
by the legions in all walks of life. He
was oommoner but his calling and
artistic temperament brought him in
contact with the rich and titled, who
esteemed his acquaintance and friend
ship to the same degree as did the
masses. No editorial pen had more
weight than did the crayon in the
hands of Davenport. His was the fac
ulty of portraying with instantaneous
force and comprehension with mark
and line any fact his publisher might
want placed before his readers. SO
forcible were his cartoons that they
ceased to be supplementary to edito-
rials, to the degree that eventually the
cartoon was sought first for enlig ghten-
ment on the topic at issue and the edi-
torial perused afterward for details.
The world. including Oregon and Sill
verton, is the better for Davenport
having lived.

THE ADOPTION DANCE.
Curious Ceremonial of Taking Child
Into a Shawnee Tribe.

Curious Ceremonial of Taking Child
Into Shawnee Tribe.
The adoption dance Is one of the
ceremonial dances of the Shawnees.
This Is quite different from any one
Of the festive dances. They come
many miles around and camp Their
faces are painted and their persons
decorated with beads.
They dance all day and night with
out eating. A bonfire Is built in the
center of the camp, and they dance
around this. The fire Is kept burning
about the same all the time This
serves also as their light.
The adoption dance is rather quiet,
more SO than the other dances. The
women do most Of the singing, says
writer in the Red Man, and sing
very low. They dance around the cir
Gle In twos. The men dance together
In front and the women together In
the rear.
The two leaders In front are usually
the ones who are adopting the child.
They carry tin pals. In these are
rubber balls, which bounce and keep
time with the drummer. This is all
the music they have to dance by. If
a large crowd is assembled they may
have two or three drums.
At these dances good order Is kept
No drunkenness Is allowed The dance
is In d grove, and If any one does not
behave decently they tie him to n tree
for the rest of the dance. After the
dance they have great feast, which
lasts all day, and visitors and all 9th
ers who attend the dance are invited
to partake of the feast.

La6ferty says he will be elected con-
erassman. No one doubts it in the
least. With his record, and the record
krown to the voters of his district. it
would seem that his nomination would
be equivalent to his election. Indeed
there seems TO be nothing to prevent
his election unless disgusted republic
ans rally to the support of his demo
