North Yakima, Wash., Sept. 9th.—A
Philadelphia tourist stopped off at North
Yakima recently. As usual there were
scattered along the principal street groups
of Indians in full dress of bockskia leg
gings, red blankets, feathers and green
paint. The tourist wandered on until he
came face to face with a chief. With so
exclamation of satisfaction he palled his
Kodak in front of him and uncovered the
elide. In an instant the red man com
prehended. Perhaps he had been caught
before. He drew up his hands in front
of hia face and shouted :•
“Ugh! Ugh! Picture no good. Bad
medicine.”
The tourist only laughed and persisted.
The chief stepped forward and pushed
the camera to one side. The tourist gave
the Indian a shove sad got a blow in re
turn. Three or four white men came to
the rescue of the Philadelphian and sev
eral braves gathered around the chief and
mattered.|while one of the youngest laid
his hand on a knife. There was a parley
which ended in the tourist potting up his
Kodak and the chief mounting hia cay
use and going down the street at full
■peed and with an occasional whoop in
the direction of the reservation. Who
ibat has suffered from the amateur pho
tographer will not say that the Indians
do juft right?
“Bad medicine. Picture no good. Bad
medicine.”
The reservation of the Yakimaa lies
along the Yakima river. The line is a
few miles east of the city o' North Yak
ima. The Northern Pacific traverses the
tract, which embraces 800,000 acres of the
finest land in the new state. The white
men have already fixed their eyes upon
the reservation, and are longing for the
opening. They aay the land will be
worth |3O an acre the day the govern
ment lets down the bars for settlement.
These Yakimas are a rather interesting
tribe. They are well built fellows, good
natured, when the amateur photographer
isn’t about, natural-born orators every
one of them, and expert horsemen. They
do a good deal of trading in the towns
and manage to support themselves. The
only expense the government is put to in
the way of rations is in providing for the
014 and infirm members of the tribe.
They raise horses and cattle, and sell hay
from the natural meadows of the reserva
tion. These meadows are an interesting
and valuable feature of the new north
west. Hemmed in by the mountains,
which at this season are brown and as
barren looking sa possible to imagine, are
little valleys spread out as flat as a table,
with stream circling and wriggling through
the midst of them. The streamy are
wide and shallow, and only a few inches
below the level of the valley. The sub
soil is gravel, through which the water
works and performs the work of under
ground irrigation. On these natural
meadows, where not a drop of water has
fallen for months, will be found grass
growing in great luxuriance. From one
to three tons of hay may be cat on an
acre, and sometimes a second crop is
gathered. The Indians have learned the
value of the meadows, and have enclosed
them with substantial fences. They sell
the product to the white stockmen and
let their own caynses rustle.
Superintendent Ker, of the big Hoxee
model farm, tells a good story of an intel
lectual encounter he had with the Yak
ima Indians. These Yskimss pick the
bops in the Moxee every year. They call
it their “illihe” and claim the excloaive
right to the work. Most of the labor,
however, falls to the squaws. One season
the squaws struck on Mr. Ker. They re
fused to go ahead at the price paid all
over the territory—*l a box—and insisted
upon an advance to *1.25. Mr. Ker sent
for the chief, old So Happy. The chief
came, and, with ‘an interpreter, the Mg
pow wow proceeded. Mr. Ker began in a
diplomatic manner by saying that the
chief and he occupied mo the same
position. They were tyee men. They
had many people subordinate to them.
They were accustomed to give orders and
to have thoee orders obeyed. Through
the interpreter, Mr. Ker enlarged upon
the necessity of enforcing discipline. He
told what be would do in cose his instruc
tions were not carried out by his men
and wbst the chief ought to do If his fol
lowers were disobedient. Then he laid
before tbs chief the merits of thO situs*
tion. And, finally, be augysted that
the chief issue orders to the refractory
pickers that they must work for $1 a box.
Old So Happy smokad and listened
until the white tyee, which It Indian for
big msn, bad finished his argument
Then he removed bio pipe and replisd ;
“This Is a matter of squaw’s work."
Nothing mom weald ha my, and from
that position be would not depart. Ha
was tyee and all that in bin tribe, bet
this wm squaw’s work, and he would net
interfere with the strike. Mr. Kar WM
dually forced to gire np all hopaa of help
from So Happy. He amt lor Colombia
Jack, a aub-cbief, and through him enter
ed into negotiations with the aqua era lor
r oompromiae. The difflcoltv wag settled
by aplittiug the difference. The hope
were picked lor $1.12H a box.
Tbm U upon the nnmllos • family
of tull-faned* known u Ihn Olnnyn. A
romance la model ad with fha name.
The while fatter at the Oloera died re
cently, hot to the leaf be ahonned hie own
race. In emne reepecte bn wet like Ham
Houston, hot, unlike Sam Honatoo, ha
name repented of his sell-banishment
among the Indians. He waa of a highly
respectable Rhode Island family, and a
graduate of Yale college. About the time
he completed bis studies the discovery of
gold In California occurred. Olney joined
the Argonauts of ’49, and came west to
seek bin fortune. He left behind him a
sweetheart to whom be waa to be married
aa soon as ha found the fortune and re
turned. The girl grew weary of waiting,
as many another of her sex has done.
About a year after reaching the coast
Olney received a latter announcing the
marriage of hia betrothed. He never got
over the blow. Drifting about for a time
he located in Oregon, and was made
sheriff of Wasco county. In those days
there waa usually excitement enough in
the duties of sheriff to beniah the memory
of the past. But after a while Olney got
tired ef hunting down criminals. He
gave op hia office, crossed the Colombia
river, and became a member of the Yak
ima tribe. His adoption waa in good
faith on his part, for ha took aa Indian
wife and raised a family. Aa hia children
grew up he educated them with care, and
when be died he left them all well pro
vided for. The Olneya are influential In
the tribe and they exercise that influence
for good. But they have no thought of
leaving the reservation. They seem to
have inherited from their Cat bag hi* dis
inclination lor white society. '
The Yakimaa owe much for their ad
vancement to Father Wilbor. It may
also be aaid that the white people of
Washington are indebted to that valiant
missionary. In civilising Indians and
building churches for his own race Father
Wilbor had no superior. When y <nf
hear the godless speak with marked re
spect of a missionary you may be sore he
had the stuff in him. Father Wilbor was
a Methodist. He was for some years the
agent of the Yakimaa. The way he
taught them to work was to work with
them. If be saw an Indian awkwardly
handling an axe he would get off his
horse, take the axe and chop, like the
expert be was, until the Indian bad fairly
learned “the Uck it was done with.” He
would go out into the forest with a saw,
make an Indian take hold of one end
while he worked the other. The Indian’s
pride wouldn’t let him give up before the
missionary did, and as Father Wilbur’s
muscles were as firm as a logger’s, the
Indian usually got a lesson that lasted
him.
This missionary helped the Indians
build houses and fences. He taught them
bow to improve their stock. He woo
their hearts and then he made such good
Methodists of them that they are firm in
the faith to-day. When the annual con
ferences of the church are held in Wash
ington, there are always Yakima delegates
present to participate in the proceedings.
In later years Father Wilbur was made
wealthy by the advance of real estate
which be had bought in Portland. He
converted bis realty into cash and be
came an Inveterate money lender. But
all of bio debtors were struggling church
societies in the Northwest. He loaned
and reloaned. As soon as he got one
church society on its feet and able to pay
be required the payment of the money,
and immediately tamed H over to another.
No investment agent looked more care
fully after (arm mortgages than did
Father Wilbur after church loans. Half
an boor before be died he settled one of
these church debts, waiving the interest
in order to get tbs principal that he
might tom It over to a still more needy
eociety.
If the traveler Is looking onto! the car
window as the Northern Pacific train en
ters the Yakima reservation from tho
west, ho will ass what is left of the Turn
animus honao. That was the rudely con
structed temple In which the Indians
need to assemble annually In “make
medicine’’ when the salmon began to ran
in tbs ODhnnUa river. The theory was
that by propitiating the evil spirit they
would gat plenty of salmon. They “mads
medicine” by showing their endurance In
dancing and torturing themselves. Bach
season the bast braves wars selected.
They entered the Tumaaimns house and
the vest of the tribe crowded around to
witness the test. The bravo who bold
out longest sal subjected himself to the
greatest torture was tbs bast man of the
tribe for the following year. Howling
and dancing and torturing ware kept op
until the bast brave fell exhausted to the
ground. Sakmskln, tho snb-ohisf, was
tbs hero at one of tbeos medicine mak
ings, shortly before the savage rites fell
intodbmn. It is said of Salouskln that
be danced steadily for two days and two
night*. Ha was than the only bravo re
maining la tbs donee. Fasting that he
could hold out no longer be stopped,
raised bis arm slowly to his mouth sad
bit as much as his teeth could enooum*
pass. He tors the mouthful of tosh from
his ana sad Ml In a swoon. Salouakln

The last thing the Yakima dtaonnk aa
he progresaas ca tbs whits raaa'a road la
hia auperatitotiooa. He finds it exceed
ingly hard to glva up hia belief in the sup
ernatural power of the medicine man.
Not long ago a farmer had occasion one
night to look ap an Indian who was in
hia employ, and he learned that his Yak
ima was off helping the medicine man to
cure a sick squaw. Following the direc
tions given, the fanner found hie way to
a tepee where the medicine making waa
under way. All of those engaged in the
performance were eo engrossed in it that
they paid no attention to the white
man. The medicine roan waa conduct
ing the ceremony. The Indian for whom
the farmer had been looking was acting
as chief assistant, and arranged in a row
on the ground were half a dosen bocks,
who seemed to be the chorna lor the
occasion. The medicine man repeated
some incantation. When he finished the
assistant went over it and then the chorus
came in. Thle waa kept up for some min
ute*. II waa the prelude. Then the
medicine man went to the rick squaw,
who lay upon the ground appearantly in
great pain, and began to knead her with
hia flats. He began at the feet and made
hia way slowly upward nntil he reached
the head, the squaw in the meantime
moaning piteously. The kneading was
brought to a close at the left ear. There
the medicine man immediately placed his
month, and exerted himself to the nt
moet at if trying to draw somethingfortb.
Suddenly be pressed bis hands together
between hia month and the aqnaw’a ear,
aa if be had captured the evil spirit in
the form of something winged. Carefully
encircling the captive in the palms of his
hands the medicine man arose, went to
the door of the tepee, and, facing north,
threw his hands open in the direction of
the north star. At the same time, as if
to hasten the evil spirit’s flight, he blew
a hard breath In the direction of the star.
After looking at the aqnaw to mo if
there were eigne of improvement the
medicine man began and went through
thie performance in all ite detaile again.
And thie wee kept up until toward morn
ing the eqoaw became better. The next
day the farmer aaked hie hired Indian
what it all meant.
“Oh,” said Jack, airily, “make medi
cine all the same like the white doctors.”
Occasionally the Yakimas get it into
their heads that the medicine men are
not acting squarely; that they are using
their supernatural powers for selfish and
improper ends rather than for the welfare
of the tribe. When that Is discovered
the Yakimas feel entirely justified in
killing the bad medicine men, even as
the Puritans hong the witches at Salem.
Two medicine men were killed on the
reservation for this offence not long ago.
The murderers were arrested and taken
to North Yakima for trial. To the credit
of the rest of the tribe, it must
be said that no resistance was offered to
the operation of the white man’s law.
Still, at heart the Yakimas believe that
the medicine man who ventures to “ta
rn ah-na-mus” them otygbt to die.

Bank Burglar “Jimmy” Hope, who is
now confined in the Tombs, awaiting his
trial for complicity in the famous Man
hattan bank robbery, waa one of the
most desperate bank robbers in the coon
try when be had bis liberty. No man
aver hocked the tiger with more coolness
than he, bat as a role ha waa unlucky,
and many a faro game waa supported by
hia play alone. Aa nearly as can ba esti

made in money $200,000, not including
the $2,747,000 worth of negotiable securi
ties *hlch were stolen from the Manhat

United States hoods, are supposed to be
secreted somewhere by Hope’s friends,
and although the government has Issued
duplicates of them, they may come to
light any time, and the bank is responsi
ble for their redemption.
John C. Heeoan, the pugilist, who for
many years dealt faro at 232 Broadway,
once said of Hope:
“He is the coolest man who ever sat
before me and I’ve dealt for the slickest
of them.”
On one occasion, after having “done a
job” in the vernacular of the profession,
Hope went into Heenan’s establishment
and wanted the limit of the game raised
from «SSO and S6OO to $2500 to S6OOO.
After some controversy, Heenan consent
ed to allow Hope to bet SIOOO to “ease”
cards and S9OOO to “doubles.” The bur
glar was one of the men who believed in
putting money on the layout to win or
lose quickly. He played every deal from
“top to bottom,” as the gamblers say,
and in tbia particular game there wet at
one time more than three thousand dol
lars of his money on the layout. In
three deals that night he lost SOBOO and
he had markers all over the table for his
last stack of chips. He went out of the
place with five dollars In his pocket and
on the sidewalk “staked” an old-time
gambler with half of it. About two
weeks afterward be called on Heenan
again and another argument ensued as to
the limit, which was finally fixed at SIOOO
and S2OOO as before. Hope foot S4OOO in
two deals, but was not in tbe least dis
turbed by bis ill-luck. Again he called
on the dealer for a loan of $5, and could
not be induced to take more. Whenever
he went to Heenan’s place after that he
played the usual limit with varying re
sults.
"Tbe biggest faro game 1 ever eew,”
uld a well-known “gam” to a World re
porter yesterday, “was at Harry Morri
son's place, corner of Broadway and
Eighth etieet. Hope went in there one
night with $42,000, intending to break
the bank. Everybody in thoee times be
lieved the ‘bank roll’ at tbia place was at
least 060,000, and Hope wanted the
money. He played from midnight on til
the following afternoon, and when he
finally asked the colored boy for his coat
and a cigar, tbe dealer was counting out
$9200 winnings to him. At six o’clock
that morning be had won nearly eighteen
thousand dollars, but he ‘dropped back’
all but what he ’cashed In.’ He stopped
playing, ale a light supper, went to bed
for three or four boors and came back
again to get tbe rest of Morrison’s cash,
but be loot 912*600 of his own money, be
sides the 10200 he won tbe night pre
viously. He played there every night for
a week, and the hank was made some
thing like $26,000 the richer for bis play.
What he did with the rest of that money
nobody knows, for he stopped playing
for months. A couple of years after that
I met him on Houston street with $31,000
in his pockets. At that Urns, “Mike”
Murray kept No. 11, a noted gambling
house on that thoroughfare, and Hope
frequently played there. He played four
or five days there, sleeping about six
hours out of the twenty-four, and when
he concluded to quit he didn’t have mon

Philadelphia Record: There is a boom
In counterfeiting. The bold makers of
bad money are living in clover, and some
sections of the country are flooded with
clever imitations of Uncle Sam’s currency.
For the past few years counterfeiting
bad been classed among the lost arts.
No criminal brain approached the eon*
ning of the counterfeit king, Tom Ballard,
who was pardoned after he bad served
tea years of a thirty years’ sentence in
Albany prison, and until recently there
bad been no brilliant display of counter*
feitlng since Tom’s time. Even the sleep
leas men of the government secret service
began to think that the art had died
when Ballard had donned a convict’s
garb.
But there has l*een a rude awakening
from this dream of fancied security. Two
weeks ago the chy of Dayton, Ohio, waa
thrown into a stale of excitement when it
was announced that the notorious coun
terfeiters, Nelson Driggs and Gertie, his
handsome wife, had been arrested by the
United States treasury detectives alter
passing over #25,000 worth of spurious
money in |lO bills within the city limits.
Then was laid bare one of the boldest
counterfeiting schemes in the history of
the art. Unsuspecting business persons
of all classes had welcomed the Briggses
into their midst, and paid for their hospi
tality by absorbing 2500 $lO counterfeit
bills.
But the capture of the Driggseo has not
stopped tbe operations of the sang which
bolds the plates from which these Mils
are printed, and some of tbe bad money
has been circulated In this city and at the
New Jersey watering places, especially at
Atlantic City. A United States detective,
who was instrumental in Driggs’ capture,
and who has been in this city, said yes
terday: “Dayton has only received a
small portion of the bills printed. The
secret service has discovered that many
more have been distributed with rare cau
tion and judgment”
The plate has never been captured, and
as long as it is in the bands of the “pro
fession” the moot dangerous counterfeit
bill ever placed in aiicttlatfoo will find
victims every day. Curiously enough,
the bill has not found its way east In
large quantities as yet, although Atlantic
City has been flooded with them. Tbe
note is so true to the genuine currency
that it baa frequently slipped through the
hands of bank tellers and found a resting
place in the big vaults beside the genuine
notes. The government secret service is
straining every nerve to capture tbe plate,
but it is skillfully defended.
A Pittsburg banker, who waa largely
swindled by the note, stated that the gov
ernment should be held responsible for
the losses. A treasury official said that
this would never do. Such a course
would be the greatest encouragement that
couid be given the counterfeiters.
"They will become bolder than evar,”
said he, “when an acknowledged expat
admits that he is deceived.”
Tbe success of this $lO bill has embold
ened “shovers of tbe queer” all over the
country, and all aorta of devices are now
in more or lem successful operation.
Tricks come sa natural to counterfeiters
as mischief to a monkey. A band of
Italian counterfeiters has recently intro
duced spurious $1 and $2 silver certificates.
Shortly after this denomination appeared
In circulation from the treasury depart
ment the Italians put the counterfeit on
the market, and the public were easily
taken in.
No one knows how many of them pre
on tbe market, hut tbe quantity runs
high into tbe thousands. They are prob
ably the cheapest counterfeit ever made.
