"A 'strike' was recently made near Car

one of such promise that a good-sized
camp soon sprang up around It. The two
principal mine owners were respectively
an Irishman and a Jew, and a» a delicate
compliment to thesf> leading citizens the
re.«t of the miners left it to them to be
slow a name upon the new camp.
"The two had many conferences, but
could not reach an agreement, for the
Irishman Ftood out for a name taken from
the Emerald Isle, while the Jew was for
one that would be suggestive of the
chosen people. The rest of the miners
finally became restless and threatened to

NAT1ONAL DRESS— The American
women of to-day do not have a distinctive
national dress, such as Is characteristic
of the women of Sweden. Norway, the

United States of America did not pay any

the treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain the latter country relln-
whether the penalty shall be Imprison

prisonment for life it must so state In an

such declaration and returns a verdict of

WHOLESALE DISCARDING OF WIVES
«=jpSHE Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians, who live on
jj their reservation south of Wichita, Kana.. says the St.
]l Louis Republic, have just passed through a trying ordeal.
Ry decree of the United States Government the men
are forced to give up all but one wife each. There have been
pome pathetic scenes enacted In connection with the enforcing
of this law. Two of the discarded wives of Xarjo. an Apache
chief, committed euiclde. Six squaws belonging to Tall Elk,
a Comznche warrior, killed themselves . because they had to
leave their lord's tepee.
The legal separation commenced at Darlington. * Indian
Apent Mischener and Captain Tulllngton of the regular army
had lppued a call to all the redskins to meet them In Darling
ton. When the lim faint streaks of dawn were showing in the
sky the braves and their wives began to arrive. The men
drove In buggies with their wives beside them. Perhaps the
squaws were better treated that day than they ever had beeni
before, the men devoting themselves to them and showing them
many little marks of affection. The life of an Indian wife is a
poor and hard existence at best. It is the women In the tepee
who perform all the work and earn the living.
Karjo had ten wives and was arranging with the parents
of two young women to bring them into his harem.
Each man was allowed to keep the wife of his choice, and
In every case this was the oldest, ugliest and fattest of the lot.
Perhaps this showed faithfulness on the part of the man to
stick to the woman whose chances for marrying & second time
would be the slimmest.' At any rate, the youngest and -hand
somest of the squaws were discarded.
-Agent Mischener conducted tho examination. In each case
he asked the bucks if they thought' they were pleasing" the
Great Spirit by believing In polygamy, and every one answered
that he did. ,
The discarded squaws were sent away to the agency build
ing. The Government is preparing to take care of the women
until their reservation la thrown open to settlement, which will
be in the coming winter. Then they will have money enough
to keep themselves.
Since the news of the desertion of the 600 squaws' has been
circulated many white men have Invaded the reservation and
carried off dusky brides.
Jn Oklahoma and the Indian Territory there are still many
» relics of barbarism to whichthe Indians cling. One of these
Is the selling of maidens as bridea to the highest bidder. -As
many of the squaws have a headrfght of $5000 or more, many
white adventurers, attracted merely by the pecuniary gain
bargain for these women. Mercenary white men are strivine
to control the lands that the Indians have been given uos
sessfon of. • '
The consideration for a bride is ponies, valued at about $10
each. Sometimes the father is paid part of the purchase nrice
and the balance is worked out. But the Osatea will not let a
bride go on a "stand off." The weddings of tnls tribe are eav
affairs. A number of bucks race for the bride's pony Ind
rnaiden squaws compete In the same way for her robe Durinir
the festivities the bride, elaborately gowned in a white robe
of buckskin, covered with silk and adorned with' many orna
ments, including costly diamonds, emerges from her wigwam
During the race for her pony the bride's mother divests her of
her beautiful wedding garments, .leaving -her clad only In a
night robe. Then the bridegroom runs from his wigwam
throws his blanket around her and carries her off to his happy
home. No word Is spoken throughout the ceremony. After
the wedding the guests assemble in another, part of the town
, and feast on boiled dog, fried dog, canned dog and doc soup.
