Indian Bunyan in Jail JT : Lying In the dark strong cell of the county Jail at Niobrara. NVfa., fx an Indian Bunyan. Like the zealot of the mediaeval ages, his Incarceration only Inflames his religous fervor. Thin man, for twenty years a missionary and teacher an,ung his people, once an am bassador to the Washington govern ment, and the gUi-st of President liuyea, from behind the bars of his narrow hume writes the tvuhins that yo out to the inhisiona of all the great fcioux people. Tiw-t?tmKfeta ; i -.1 na 1 mis sw;t-.si4u.'.a-ai- fiiintee agency, under tne pi irnipalship of Rev. A. L. lliggs, employ a num ber of teachers, red end white. Last fuaimtr one of the red teachers, liu-pu-co-ka-njaza, or ircn wing, wan ar itsied and tried in the district court. Ko matter what the oifetLfe, he was I -nd guiity and sentenced to pay a ti.e. L-i 11 Wing reasoned and who shall Bay that he uij not reason rightly? Ihdt if he paid the money he would acknowledge the guilt. Therefore hi said: "I will die in Jail before I wil pay the fine." In consequence, one o. the teachers of the Santee agenc) looks through the bars of the Knox county jail. Iron wing, with the religion of hif fathers, cast aside his name, and calls himself the Biblical appellation, Eli Abraham. In lit3 he went with his tribe from Ked Wing, iiinn., to Crow Creek agency, South Dakota, where they remained three years, coming to Niobrara in 1866. In the winter of that year over 1,000 Indians camped on Ba ilie creek, on the move to different parts of the country. The Santee Sioux remained where they now are, anu Iron Wing entered the Presbyterian church and became a ttacher under Dr. Williams, now of Yankton agency. Two years later most of the Indians desert ed the Presbyterians and went over to the Cpngregationalists, who were building a fine mission at Santee. The system of having tribal chiefs was abolished, Chief Wa-ba-shaw hav ing died, and the Sioux tribes adopted the custom of electing councilmen. Iron Wing was made one, or head councilman in 1S82, and was sent to Washington by his tribe with a peti tion to the secretary of the Interior, asking that the Santees be permanent ly located at the place they then occu pied. President Hayes, learning that he was an educator, had him show n I Takes Care of Col. W. H. Knauss of Columbus, O., an old union veteran, who has spent a modest fortune caring for Confederate graves In northern burial places, and the only northern man who has ever taken up a similar work, is in New Orleans for the first time. He is known In New Orleans and the southern states by his work and through his letters. His reputation has preceded him and he will now re ceive honor in person that has been bestowed upon him by letter and thro' the public press on many occasions. At Camp Chase, near Columbus. Col. Knauss Is caring for 2.260 confederate graves. Oil Johnson's Island, near Sandusky, O., he has 20 graves under his care, where southern sons lie bur led. Besides the work of looking after the dead Mr. Knauss holds confeder ate memorial services once every year. Gen. George Moorman and Mrs. W. 3 Behan of local confederate associ ations have had considerable corre spondence with him. He was a member of the First New Jersey brigade, and fought throughout the war on the northern side. Colonel Knauss sat in the main lobby of the St. Charles hotel, while "Dixie" and "The Star Spangled Banner" were be ing played by the band in the palm garden overhead, during the naval re ception, and related some of the inter esting features connected with his pat riotic work. In view of the fact that no other per son from the reuera. nndpr- taken tho work which Col. Knauss is performing for southern homes, he was asked how he happened to take it up. "Many ask me that," he said. "They think some motive must prompt me to o It, and that I want something. But those who know me wil tell you that there Is no office, nothing that I want, only to be permitted to make a few homes happy. "The way I happened to start to car ing for the confederate graves came about In this way: I was at South Mountain, Md., visiting, and I remem bered helping to bury a number of confederate soldiers upon the raoun tainslde. I wodered if they had been allowed to remain undisturbed, so I went up to take a look. The briars were rank and the place was unkept. I had the space enclosed and some care given It. Every year . I saw that the dead were not forgotten. "Then I moved to Columbus. O., about ten years ago, and the condition of Camp Chase came to my notice at nee. There were 2,2o confederates ly ing burled there. The graves were 111 kept and bad. That is where one of the large federal prisons was located and that la why so many Is burled there. Over on Johnson island, Just acroM fro Sandusky, I found 200 con federate gravea. "Daring the part ten years I have give these graves attention, and have worked n the old records tracing out Mm Identity of many unmarked grave. -Cvcry year, about one week after VxmmL day, 1 hold confederate I through the great schools of Carlisle and Hampton. He has been secretary of the Indian Missionary society for twenty years, and did field work him self. One of his duties has been to prepare the leaflets for the Piuux people, and now each day will find Eli Abraham laboring in the dingy cell over the mysterious Indian characters. Each week he forwards the copy for the reg ular Sunday school lesson to the print er at Santee, where it Is printed in the Pioux language, a rid sent out to thy different schools. The little red pupils wonder where they come from and who writes them, but they would never guess their instructor was locked be hind the bars of the county Jail. Iron Wing was asked of his youth. "When I am a young man I am called a good hunter. I go to the Jim river in Dakota and many times 1 kill the buffalo." "Did you have a good rifle?" "No, I have the gun, what you call t? The double gun? I put a big ail In It. Little balls never kill the luffalo. liig balls kill him every time. Sometimes It almost kill me. It Jump jack." 4 "Did the buffalo ever get after you?" "Always I have a good horse: I am 3. good shot then. Every time I kill one when I shoot. The buffalo know which one we pick out to kill. Some times that one will get mad and chase us." "Then did you run?" "The horse is scared when the buf falo is mad. One time I nearly get killed if I don't get in a lake. The buffalo cannot follow me there." Eli Abraham has been married three times, his last wife living with her brother on Lost Creek, east of Nio brara. The only time he has com plained was during the big snowstorm recently. "I feel sorry for my family," he said. "If some one don't come to them they will be in a bad fix last night. My boy Is only 10 years old and he cannot go out in the storm and work." The women of Finland of the lower classes perform arduous labor that In the other countries Is usually assigned to males. They wheel handcarts and barrows of various descriptions con taining heavy burdens. They also sweep Jhe streets, act as boatmen and even assist in loading ships. South s Graves, memorial service in honor of these re roic southern dead. At first it was an uphill struggle, but now these services are looked forward to with as much interest as the Decoration day pro grams. Last year we had 2.000 neonle at Camp Chase and the schoolchildren came out and helped us. There has been no trouble In blending the gray and the blue since the Spanish-Amer-can war. I can get all the help I want. "I remember the first memorial ser vices held at Camp Chase. There was not one confederate to be found. The next year I discovered one or two. In about four years I had picked up about a dozen. I told them to get together and they formed a camp, writing to Gen. Moorman for the charter, etc. "Did you meet severe opposition at first?" was asked. "Oh, yes, I was called all manner of tilings. Some dubbed me 'The Rebel Sympathyzer.' and my work was dis countenanced by the kickers in the or ganization. Several wanted me put out of the O. A. R.. this fight being led by Charles Poland, -the publisher of a number of secret order papers. But the substantia members. of the O. A. R. took no notice of the charges, and I am still a member. The men who kicked were not those who had spent years at the front. I replied to my critics by saying that I was merely doing honor to American citizens who had foui.t for what they believed to be right, and as American citizens, ttyer was no hnrmr tor, high n h. puJH them. "Only a short time ago a young man from Louisiana wrote me, saying that he had read in the New Orleans Pic ayune of how I was Interested In lo cating and restoring lost dead among the fallen confederates. He gave me a name. In 20 minutes after the receipt of his letter I had dictated a reply, telling him where his father was shot, where he died, where he was burled, and something about his last hours. In about a week I received a letter containing the blessing of an aged mother, 80 years of age, because she said I had located her husband, and that her prayer had been answered. She was ready to die." One of the most attractive features of Swedish life to strangers Is the po liteness of the children. As soon as a boy Is able to stand on his legs he is taught to make a bow and to shake hands, and a little girl must be able to make a bob courtesy before she has learned to talk. As son a the right hand Is known from the left It must be offered In greeting, or when a erlft or favor has been received, and one of the first words learned by the children after "papa" and "mamma" is "tack," the Swedish term for thanks. It la heard more frequently than any other word in the language. The Prussian prayer book entnina that the whole of the service, including me sermon, snail not last above aa hour. . ; About the Siberian Indian, t An English traveler In Siberia, in his published account, says this of a little known people there: We saw many clusters of the Red Indian tents. They belonged to the I aborglnes, liuria Mongols, who are vanishing before the Muscovites as the redskins are vanishing before the Sax ons. When the train halted I had a good opportunity for seeing these people. KThey are first cousins to the Chinese. but all I met struck me as being broader, more sturdily built than the Chinese. ' Their faces are rather round than long, but their cheek bones are prominent. The eye Is a warm, good natured brown. Their skins are not the Chinese sickly sallow, but a ruddy bronze. They are all good looking men, and had 1 met them In Nevada. It would never have struck me they were not Red Indians. The women folk, however, would have put me right. Without being ac cused of lack of gallantry, the Indian squaw is one of the last ladies on earth for whom it would be possible to rouse admiration coarse, fat to un wleldlness, and with as much expres sion as a potato. But these Buriat women are often handsome with the kind of good looks you sometimes see among Spanish Jewesses, only much darker. Their features were well cut, the nose refined, and the eye black and brilliant. Their hair was really black. As they walked about in th-ir gay, red print frocks and no other color would suit them so well th-y had a long, easy swing of the limbs that showed good physique. The elder women get wrinkled-faced and rather uncertain In their gait. Yet distlne tion remains with them. About both men and women there is a blushing shyness which was appar ent when I wanted to take their pho tographs. They didn't quite under stand the camera. But when it was ex plained they were pleased, and laughed and hung back, and after many per suasions from the onlooklng crowd what a medley we sometimes were. I She Won the Shah s Favor 1 i&'W'lr4 Emily Barnaby, a Cincinnati girl, has Just arrived at Paris from Tabrez, Persia, after a most extraordinary ad venture. She was among a lot of beauties se lected here two years ago by the Shah for various ofllces at his court and sent ahead to Teheran under escort to await his pleasure. Emily was then a destitute student of music and had applied to the re cruiting Persian minister upon advice of a friend, also an American, who had already accepted an engagement. Em ily was duly presented to the Shah, who gave a short, unintelligible order to his minister, and the latter told her she was engaged. She left Paris three days later with nine other girls, mostly French, in charge of two old English shrews who had long been attached to the Shah's household. She remained at Teheran for four months before she saw the sovereign. Then the two American girls were un expectedly summoned at midnight and asked If they could entertain the Shah, J who was troubled with sleeplessness. The potentate was found In his bed surrounded by a crowd of attendants, among whom was a physician who spoke English. Emily's friend played (he piano while Emily sung and danc ed. The Shah, at first languid, Boon became Interested. The next day Emily alone was sum- mnoed. Before being Introduced she was dressed in oriental gauzea by the same two English shrews who com plimented her on the fact that the Shah had taken a great fancy to her. At the Becond Interview the Shah tried to express his fondness too fer vently and Emily vigorously objected. ! Oldest Monster The oldest monastery In the world Is Marsuba, a fortress that clings to the top and sides of a reeky cliff at the end of Kedron valley, near the Dead abile tlenerl, beyond the Jordan. Fin sea. ally the Kmpress left her post never Ifs the wlerdest place that man ever happened on, with only the cries of the Jackal and the call of the night birds to break the frightful stillness that broods over the land. It Is a de- troyed stronghold of the Crusaders, and the tomb of a ntmad chieftain, Bhelk Measlaf. In the early part of fhe fifth century the Sabaites took possession of It. This was an order of monks, of which Han . Babas was the superior. The larger part of the monastery was built by them. Their numbers finally bo In creased that the monastery would not holld them si), and 10,000 took up their abode In the rock caves in the moun tain opposite. Four thousitnd re mained In the monastery proper. In the seventh century the Persian hordes attacked and plundered them. After that a castle-like tower was built to serve as a defense. Later another tower was add.d to It, and, strange to relate, this last was a monument to woman's love. It was was built by the Empress Fudoxla, that she might dwell In It and so be near to Euthymlus, a monk with whom ha had fallen In love, her Ideal of manhod. Euthymlas, however, was noted for Russian. Chlnese.Englith, French. Ger- rmir.s. in all aorta of costumes! they would stand forward with the awk- ward delight of yokel who Is getting his five shillings from the squire's lady for showing the best cabbages at the village flower show. I found the Russian had a kindly admiration for the Buriats, extolling them for their simplicity and honesty. These Buriats, though thvy live In tents, are not really nomads, but keep to one particular district.' Although the children of the Mongols, once the t error of trie " w;orid. mere "is Trrorh ingf of the warrior about them, except their splendid horsemanship. High-banked and comfortable do their saddles look, but they manage their horses, which are light brown with black manea and very swift, with wonderful agility. They know well how their ancestors once swept Europe and they have a firm belief that some day a leader will arise and regain their lost kingdom. To me there is something very pa thetic In this confidence among rac-.-s once powerful, but now subjugated, that the day will ccme when they will reinherlt their own. Perhaps It is well they should have this little glow of patriotism In their hearts. Today the Buriats arc pastoral. They live chietly on rnilk, millet and sheep killed on feast days. Their wealth consists in immense herds of cattle; some of them possess forty or fifty thousand head. In the cases of fami lies owning great herds the life is quite patriarchal. Though sons and daughters marry, the new wives and new- husbands must come and live In the family camp. In religion they are Buddhists, but have only been so for three centures. They are fond of making pilgrimages to Ourga, where there 1b a "living Buddha." So great la this devotion that a Buriat will frequently surren der the whole of his property on some shrine on condition he receives just enough to live upon. In the clock store the principal move ment is "all hands round." When she finally broke down and cried the Shah's anger was mollified) and he ordered that she be taken to her own apartment, afterward sending her a considerate message, accompanied with valuable presents. Thereafter she saw the Shah almost daily, being his favorite entertainer. She says she learned to like the Shah well, except when a tender fit Belzed him. After nearly a year the Shah grew ugly because of the girl's steadfast refusal to become a member of the royal harem, and she, following the advice or a French physician, ran away from the palace. She hid in Te- heran three days and then the physi cian's servant took her, disguised and veiled like an oriental, to Tabreez, where she lived secretly with some kind French nuns. Four months ago Emily married a wealthy Persian merchant, young and handsome and a Catholic convert. But the Shah's emissaries finally locating her, she escaped, finding the country unsafe. The young couple Joined a Russian caravan, reached the Black sea and sailed from Batoum for Marseilles on board a Greek vessel, which stopped at Treblzond. There Emily's husband went ashore, saying he would take Just a short stroll. He never returned and his wife does not know whether he was mur dered or deserted her. Being afraid to rls kherself alone in a strange coun try she continued her voyage and final ly reached Paris. She tells a correspondent that she has most of her husband's wealth jewels, quite a cargo of precious rugs and more than $1,000,000 In money. y in the World, 9 3 his sanctity, and he would not violate his vow.

Judge Wing of the Federal Court of Cleevland. has Just Issued a permanent Injunction with costs and damages enjoining a lawyer named Gorey from the manufacture and sals of an Imitation of CASCARETS. Oo rey Imitated the boxes, the shape of the tablet and used a similar sounding name. This decision Is to be com mended. It Is a long step In the right direction. Any dealer who will offer a substitute or say that something Is Just as good" when CASCARBTH are called for, does It for the purpose of making a few cents extra profit, which must always be at the expense of ths customer's health. CASCARETS have been advertised freely In our columns and aa the result of making them known, CABCARETH today have the largest sale of any bowel medicine In the world. They are always packed In metal boxes with the long tall "C" on the cover and each tablet stamped "C.CC." They are never sold In bulk or from Jars. We deem It our duty to warn our readers against an Imita tion or substitute of . this meritorious medicine, and If at any time they have ever been offered a subatltute or an offer made to sell something "just as good" when CASCARETS have been asked for, we will be pleased In deed to have a letter to that effect or write direct to the Sterling Remedy Co., New York or Chicago.
