TURN TO THE MODERN STEPS
Writer Thinks Nevada Indians Badly
Advised in Forsaking Tribal
Dance for Turkey Trot.

The once noble red man has suf
fered much at the hands of his pale
face conqueror He has exchanged
his hunting grounds for reservations,
he has traded the warpath for tAe
trail around the bases. In place of
the forest primeval he now inhabits
the circus tent. He has bartered a
continent for firewater and trousers.
AS If this were not enough, the
tragic news comes from Nevada that
he has sounded still another depth OF
ignominy. Abandoning his tribal
dances, he has taken up the turkey
trot.
Before this revelation all the old
illusions as to the dignity and self
respect of the American Indian fell
with a crash. Not even the most per-
fervid admirer of Hiawatha's people
can picture them in the mazes of the
trot without a shudder. A turkey
trotting Indian deserves no greater
respect than a turkey-trotting pale
face clerk.
Why the red man should seek to
change the ghost dance for the trot,
the snake dance for the bunny hug
or the fire dance for the grizzly bear
is a mystery. While the Indians an
cient gyrations may be a trifle more
dignified than the latest menagerie
movements, they are only slightly less
barbaric than the dances which now
hold the floor In polite circles. The
difference in savage energy is hardly
worth the substitution.
With Terpsichore gone mad. we
may look for an early retaliation by
the dansant paleface for the raid
which the Indian has made upon his
dances. The snake dance and the
warwhoop will be taken, in turn. and
made a part of the turkey trotter's
repertoire. Even at this late date Lo,
the poor Indian, can't make a trade
without getting the worst of it.-New
York Evening Sun.

NOTHING SERIOUS

Clarence II. Mackay. apropos Of an

This reminds me Of a Duluth girl

'Alphonse,' the girl asked one eve

The marquis scowled and said:
Didn't you tell noe last week that
your father was failing7'
'Yes-physically failing,' she re-
piled.
"'Oh,' said the marquis, and his look
frightened. He heaveS a sigh Of re-
lief Oh said he, that's all fight,

The man Of whom we are told went
into a downtown restaurant a noon or

luncheon. He ate 1t growlingly. and
when he had finished and received
HIS check marched up to the cashiers

II was a confederate bill and the

the patron. Keep the change, how
ever" And he went away.

CARROLL D. CALVIN
COMMITS SUICIDE IN
A CHICAGO HOTEL

Chicago, Aug l5-A man who re-

been Carroll Durham Calvin, Of
Oakland, Cal. shot and killed him
self in his room this morning.

through a card Of lodge No III,
Benel olent and Protective Order
IF Elks of Oakland, found in the
mans clothing.
Ca. roll D Calvin is well known
in Elkc County. having promoted
numerous mining propositions Ill
this county. He was connected
with Skaggs in the Bald Mountain
District and with Frank Fl Hall of
San Francisco who is now operat-
ing in the Bullion District. He is
reported to have invested S100, 900
in Elko mining properties in the
Bullion District. Since the panic of
1907 he hes devoted his time prin-
cipally to pertecting a patent auto
mobile tire which he thought he
could place on the market. His
family lives in Philadelphia and he
was in comfortable circumstances
1t is thought worry over the patent
caused him to go insane or he
would never have committed sui
eide. He was considered to be one
of the most competent mining engi-
neers operating in the west.
Calvin was native Of Boston
and a graduate Of the Boston Tech
nical School. His wife says:
aside from bis insomnia he has
suffered from a nervous brcahd down
within the past two months, and |
am positive that these circum-
stances coupled with the heat are
responsible for his conduct. 1t
can be explained in no other way
as his home life was ideal and he
was not pressed by any immediate
financial worries.

FORMER ELkO MAN

She says he had threatened on
numerous occasions to kill her,
since they went to Manhattan to

Ferrick offered her home and she
accepted the offer.
Esmond tried to see her several
times without success. Last We'd

wife. Mrs Ferrick, fearing trou-
bic told HIM that she was not in,
although as fact Mrs Esmcnd as

went straight from the Ferrick
house and committed suicide.
Esmond came to southern Neva-

He was employed in and about
