A CELEBRATION.

It was announced last night at the prayer service that joint meeting of all churches and the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union will be held in the afternoon of Sunday, January 16, in honor of the first anniversary of National Constitutional Prohibition. This should and will be day of great rejoicing, inasmuch as the results of this beneficient law have been wonder full in the good they have brought to the people. True, there have been vio- lations of the law, but not such as to warrant a repeal or even modification. The law against carrying concealed weapons Is not enforced, as witness the courts, but there is no inclination for repeal Go, only a tendency to strength en and enfore them more rigidly.
 Mrs. Minnie U. Fuller, state presi- dent of the woman's Christian Tenn perance Union will be one of the speak CTS at the celebration. Let us give her the welcome she deserves. Other speakers will be heard. Let us make it great day.

Protected by Judge.

Detectives had arranged for the cap. ture of Hatfield, spurred by reward after they had seen to it that he was indicted on a charge of whisky selling bench at the time and was informed of the danger that awaited the accus- ed man. Judge Jackson sent word to Hatfield that if he would appear in court without an officer being sent for him the court would see that he had ample protection until he returned to his home in Logan county.
 Hatfield appeared and was aquit- ted Some of the detectives bounced upon him soon after he left the court room, but Judge Jackson summoned all of them before him and threat atened to send them all to jail, directing spe- cial officers to see that Hatfield was permitted to reach him home. After Hatfield was we'll on his way Judge Jackson told the detectives of they wanted their man they would have to get him just like the McCOys had been trying to do. They never went.
 Ans" Hatfield spent the last 15 years of his life quietly and peaceably on n small farm he owned in Logan county. Once he was prevailed upon by some contemplating amusement man. ager to go on the vaudeville stage. He made preparation to do so, but aban- doned the idea when an old indictment was produced which has been quashed on condition that the old mOuntaineer agree to remain at home the rest of his days.

 The celebrated fued of the Hatfield family with the McCoys was started over some hogs one of the Hatfields winning a lawsuit to determine their ownership. Soon after a brother of Devil Anse" was shot and wounded by one of the McCoys. The fued then started did not end until the few re- maining McCoys went over into Ken lucky, where they now live.
 Devil Anse" had none of the attri- butes of the bad man" Numbered among those who believed he was right by the position he took during the fued days were the late Judge John l.. Jack son, known as the 'iron judge', who was appointed to the Federal bench by President Lincoln, and former Gov. E. W. Wilson, the former protecting Hatfield from capture when he had been into court, and the latter refusing to honor a requisition of the governor of Kentucky for the arrest of Devil Anse" on charge of killing some member of the Mccoy family.

Saves Indian Airs,
Miss Frances Densmore Of Red Wing
Has Indians Sing 70! Photograph Records

The old-fashioned Indian, with
his war dances and war feathers,
bis native songs and his tribal
customs, is disappearing from the
west year by year as the younger
generations embrace civilization.
When. however, the tribes OF
old Indians have all gone to the
happy hunting ground of oblivion,
it will be possible to step into d
museum and see specimens, pho
tographs and life like groups OF
figures that will resurrect Indian
scenes of the past. We even may
hear again the .Cbeat of Indian
|drums and the peculiar rhythm OF
ancient songs.
On plains and deserts, miles
from white men, on moonlight
nights and under hot summer
suns, Miss Frances Densmore OF
Red Wing, MINI has listened tic
the songs and music of tribal
gatherings and ceremonies. Then
she has selected the best and mos,
typical musicians and has per-
suaded them to sing for phono.
raph records. The sesult of hef
latest work among the Ute In:
Gians of Utah will soon be pub
lished in bulletins of the bureau
of ethnology of the Smithsonian
Institution.
He phonopraph has recorded OF
wax cylinders the songs of wal
and dances of seven different
tribes of Indians now living or
Uncle Sans reservations. Songs
on all phases of their everyday
life and those in treating the sick
also have been preserved in this
way. .... - ~......
THE Indians, unlike most white
people, sing in their Threats with
their lips practically motionless, ,
| Miss Densmore observed. The
morache or notched stick rattle,
and small and large drums are the
musical instruments used to &C
company some vocal efforts, while
certain, songs are enhanced by
beating on horizontal poIe.''
In ancient times Indians sale
they received their songs in frances
or long fasts in the wilderness
Several modern Indian singer:
declared that they heard a song
il their Sleep sang it, and eithe'
awoke to find themselves singing
it aloud or remembered it and
we're able to sing it. In old times
this was the principal way ir
! in which the songs we're produced
10 only one case has Miss Dens
more been able to find a song ol
| i,int authorship ard that Was
modern song composed by severa
Indians. -. =.
Going further than the mere
recording of songs, Miss Dens'
more has transcribed the Indian
| music in notes. The tempo of the
music transcribed by ear has been
checked by analysis on the phono
deik, an instrument invented BY
Dr.. Dayton G. Miller, head of the
department of physics, Case school
of applied science, Cleveland. The
instrument transforms the sound
waves of music into wavy lines on
photographic films. DR.. Miller
found there was no essentia:: diff.
erences between the time in the
musical transcriptions written by
miss Densmore by ear and those
obtained by the more scientific
method. l.. (. + t. -

all to have been a failure. Ex-
anime the school records both in
the government and the mission

have been in school for as much
as five or six years and are still in

In many instances you find child

This kind of an educational system.
is crime against the Indian.
children. 1t cannot be justified
from any view. Is the Council
right or wrong with reference to
this matter?' -
Apparently some of the resi-
dents here, and more especially
the faculty at St. Benedict's Mis-.
sion School here, have placed a
wrong Interpretation upon the
meaning of that portion OF the
article referred to and quoted
above, inasmuch as We have heard
from several different sources that
the Sisters of St. Benedlct's Mis-
sion school here and also the Rev.
Father Aloysius construed that
portion of the article to be a direct
insinuation against that institution
and the good work being done
there by those in charge. We beg
to state however that such was,
far from our intention when we
published the article. Our pur-
pose was, as it always has been.
to put the truth before the Chip
pewa people regarding the lack
condition of the educational system
as exercised in government con-
trolled Iadian schools in general,
more especially the reservation
boarding schools, as compared
with the more advanced methods
and advantages to be obtained in
the State public schools. And, as
in all cases, there is always an
exception to the general rule, and
this exception could in this
instance very we'll be singled out
as St. Benedict's Mission school
here, for we have no inclination to
find any fault whatever with that
institution and the good work that
is being done there by those in
charge, at least in so far as the
matter of education is concerned,
as this school is conceded by all
to be one of the best, if not the
best in the Chippewa country.
We do contend, however, that
it has been the practice of the
Mission school here in the past to-
enroll pupils whose parents are Of
the more prosperous members Of
the reservation and who were
amply able to send their children,
to the district schools, so that the,
Mission school could be at the
service of orphans or children
whose parents were not so bounti-;
fully blessed with this worlds
goods and who would encounter,
dire difficulties in QUILTING their,
children to attend the public
schools, and who lived in remote
sections of tue reservation where
there we're no public school facili,st
ties. - NJ s.s5 (. S. .s. {
No, so far as the question of
education is concerned, we have
nothing but praise for the Mission
school here and the noble efforts
being put forth by those in charge.
