There seems to be only oue can
didate on the Times-Democrat’s
county ticket. Strange as it may
seem when five nominations were
made.
The late Minnesota and Wis
consin forest fires make a frightful
sum total of horrors. Hundreds
of lives have been lost and millions
of dollars worth of property de
stroyed, and greatest misery and
suffering entailed.
Our precocious friend Era Cole
of the Culbertson Ira deliberately
and with malice aforethought
charges the slave hereof with be
ing a writer of “humerous arti
cles." And then not satisfied with
“laying on misery more than it
can bear,” stoutly maintains that
we are “eccentric and soury dispo
sitioned.” The erring brother is
hereby notified that our office
towel is in readiness, and that he
will be reduced to impalpable dust
the first time he appears in this
sacred municipality.
The New York World mourns
the decadence of the United States
senate. Hear its sorrowful wail:
“In the place of Thurman and
Chase we have Cal. Brice, railroad
wrecker; as a successor to Marcy,
Seward and Conklin we have Ed.
Murphy, brewer; in the seat of
Dayton and Frelinghuysen sits
James Smith Jr., sweat-leather
manufacturer; and under the
broad toga of Beverdy Johnson
the ex-page Gorman creeps silently
in and out.”
J. Sterling Morton is an en
thusiastic convert to sub-soiling.
He concludes an interesting com
munication to a Lincoln friend
thus: “The practical suggestion
which I wish to submit our friends
is: Why not sub-soil and cultivate
more thoroughly ? Instead of dig
ging ditches let us first try sub
soiling as a means of catching and
holding the water that natnre sup
plies us on the spot. The success
that Messrs. Younger & Co. have
attained by sub-soiling their land
as now explained by the mechan
ical analysis, suggests that this is
the possible solution of the ques
tion that the irrigation convention
is called upon to solve. My prop
osition is, therefore, instead of
digging ditches sub-soil and culti
vate thoroughly.
Thomas J. Majors will be a
safe, conservative and able man in
the governor's chair. E. E. Moore
will preside over the senate with
ability and fairness. J. A. Piper
will make a model secretary of
state, and the same can be said of
H. C. Eussell as land commis
sioner. Auditor Moore and Treas
urer Bartley have earned re-elec
tion by faithful public service.
Mr. Churchill will bring a fine le
gal training and strict integrity
to the office of attorney-general.
Prof. Corbett is the choice of a
large number of school men for
superintendent. It is a strong
ticket from beginning to end. It
is a ticket worth fighting for and
the Eepublicans of Nebraska will
take great pleasure in seeing that
every man on the ticket is elected.

POWHATAN’S TRIBE.
LAST REMNANT EXISTS IN THE PA
MUNKEY INDIANS OF VIRGINIA.
A Town of 800 Acres With HO Inhabitants.
Proud of Their Linkage, They Accept
White Persons an Dcjuals, but Will Have
Nothing to Do With Negroes.
How strarjge it seems that a remnant
of the once powerful confederacy of
Powhatan should actually exist at this
day not so very far from Washington:
This last fragment of a nation, which,
at the time of the landing of Columbus,
occupied all of the region hereabout,
including a large part of Virginia and
Maryland, consists of about 110 individ
uals. They call themselves the Pamun
keys and dwell at what is known as “In
diantown, ” which is situated on and
comprises the whole of a curiously
shaped neck of land extending into Pa
rnunkey river and adjoining King Wil
liam county, Va., on the south. The
“town” consists of 800 acres and is al
most entirely surrounded by water, be
ing connected with the mainland by a
narrow strip. The comparative safety
afforded by the situation in time of war
is doubtless accountable for the presence
of the tribe in this spot. Very likely
their survival is due to the protection
thus eiven.
On the death of Powhatan he was suc
ceeded by Opechancanough, chief of the
Painunkeys. The tribe was at that time
the most powerful of the 30 warlike
tribes which composed the confederacy.
The entire nation had 2,400 warriors,
and comprised about 8,000 individuals.
Of this population 1.000 were of the
Pamunkey contingent.
Powhatan was a chief of remarkable
valor and judgment. The confederacy
organized under the direcliou of his
savage genius was one of the most not
able among the many unions of native
American tribes. The prominence of
this aboriginal nation in the early his
tory of this country is partly due to the
fact that Captain John Smith was a
writer as well as an explorer. Opechan
canough himself was a man of unusual
ability. His leadership in the massacre
of 1622 made him the most dreaded en
emy ever encountered by the colonists
of that period.
The Pamunkey Indians, whose dis
tinction it is to be the only Virginia
tribe that has survived the encroachment
of civilization, have excited the inter
est of the bureau of ethnology, which
has issued a bulletin describing them.
Oddly enough, their number has va
ried hardly at all during the last cen
tury. Jefferson, writing in 1781, esti
mated the population of Indiantown at
100, and How, nearly 70 years later,
placed it at the same figure. No mem
ber of the tribe is of full blood. While
the copper colored skin and the straight,
coarse hair of the aboriginal American
show decidedly in some individuals,
there are others whose origin would not
be detected by the ordinary observer.
There has been considerable intermix
ture of white blood and not a little of
that of the negro, though the laws of
the tribe now strictly forbid marriage
with persons of African descent.
The Pamunkeys have a great deal of
race pride. Though they acknowledge
the whites as equals, they consider the
blacks far beneath their social level.
Their feeling toward the negro is illus
trated by their recent indignant refusal
to accept a colored teacher who was
sent to them to conduct the free school
which the state of Virginia provides for
them. They are very anxious to keep
their blood free from further mingling
with that of other races, and howT to ac
complish this purpose is a serious prob
lem of theirs, inasmuch as they recog
nize the danger of too frequent mar
riages within the pale of consanguinity.
To obviate this difficulty the chief men
nave been trying to devise a plan t>y
■which they may induce immigration
from the Cherokees of North Carolina.
The Pamnnkey Indians are not par
ticularly strong and robust, perhaps
because of frequent- marriages between
relatives. They are temperate, moral
and peaceable. There is good feeling
between them and their white neigh
bors. They are exceedingly proud of
their lineage and love to tell how brave
ly and stubbornly their forefathers re
sisted the encroachments of the whites.
Opechancanough is their hero. They
take great delight in reciting the famil
iar story of how this noted chief, when
old and infirm, was carried on a litter
to battle that his presence might inspire
his men to deeds of bravery. Aside from
their mode of subsistence, there is noth
ing peculiar in their manners and cus
toms unless it be an inclination to ex
cessive use of gaudy colors in their at
tire. Their homes are comfortable and
well kept. . They all belong to the Bap
tist denomination and attend church on
the reservation every Sunday.
They obtain their living for the most
part in true aboriginal style. Their
chief occupations are hunting and fish
ing, primitive dugont canoes being used.
Farming they do on a small scale, but
for manual labor they entertain a truly
aboriginal dislike, frequently hiring ne
groes to attend to their little truck
patches. Considerable numbers of rac
coons, muskrats, otters and even deer
are captured on the reservation. The
Bkins are sold in Richmond and Balti
more as well as many of the fish they
catch. They take shad, bass, herring
and other fishes in large numbers by
means of seines.
In the autumn they hunt reedbirds in
a very curious fashion. They have what
they call a “sora horse,” resembling a
peach basket in size and shape and made
of strips of iron. Before they had iron
clay was utilized as the material. The
“horse” is mounted on a pole stuck in
the marsh or placed upright in a boat.
At night a fire is kindled inside it. The
light attracts the reedbirds, and they fly
around it, while the Indians knock them
down with piddles. Every year white
hunters visit the reservation for the pur
pose of sheeting reedbirds, employing
the Pam unkeys as guides.—Washington

DEALING IN HUMAN HAIR.
How Maker* of Wig» and Switches Treat
Their Stock In Trade.
"Dealing in human hair is a peculiar
business,” said the proprietor of a wig
making establishment to a reporter.
"People do not understand the insand
outs of a business that must on its face
seem so simple.
1 ‘The mere matter of obtaining hair
with which to make wigs, switches and
other hairwork to adorn heads poorly
favored by nature seems easy, but it is
not so. We have to exercise the greatest
care in buying hair, it being absolutely
necessary to know from what source it
has been obtained. A great deal of hair
comes from the ash barrels and garbage
pile6. You can see that material of this
kind would not be at all desirable, yet
people often wonder why one wig costs
four times as much as another when in
appearance both are the same.
“The source from which the hair is
obtained has a great deal to do in deter
mining the price of the goods. If hair
has been cut form a fever patient, the
price asked is considerably lower than
if it had been cut from the head of a
healthy person. Hair retains disease
germs longer than anything else. That
this is appreciated is shown by the fact
that even after hair found in uncertain
places has been put through the severe
cleansing process to which all the ma
terial used is subjected, still it does not
command the same price as the healthy
article. One would think that this proc
ess would kill all disease germs, but it
does not seem to increase the value of
such hair.
“When hair is collected, it is thrown
into vats of boiling water, where it is
left to boil for a considerable time.
After that it is put through a chemical
preparation, and then, after being
combed out and sorted in sizes, it is
laid away for a year. We never use any
hair that has not been treated at least a
year. Each box is marked with the date
on which the hair was treated, the
place from which it came, etc., so that
we have a full history of every bit of
hair in stock.
“We meet some peculiar people in
our business. You would soon be con
vinced that women cannot claim exclu
sive title to vanity. We find men who
are hairless more difficult to please than
women. They insist upon having this
bald spot covered just so, and their way
invariably happens to be the only way
in which it cannot be fixed.”—Pitts
burg Dispatch.

A Horse With a Mustache.
“Look dar, Bill. See dat horse wid a
mustache!”
This explanation from one street gam
in to another attracted the attention of
a reporter and a few friends with him
who were conversing on the comer.
Looking in the direction of the boys, he
discovered that Letter Carrier Thomas
Brown had driven up his little wagon
to collect the mail from the box. At
tached to it was a small sized sorrel
horse, which had, sure enough, an ele
gant mustache about 2 inches long and
curled in a manner which would excite
the envy of any dude. From Mr. Brown
it was learned that the horse was about
6 years old, and that he purchased him
from a negro. The negro raised him
from a colt, and in early life he com
menced sporting his mustache. To re
lieve himself of the bother of answer
ing questions, the colored man had kept
the whiskers trimmed, but Mr. Brown,
since he became possessed of the animal,
had permitted them to grow.—Nash
ville American.
Power of Imagination.
A curious case of “cure by sugges
tion” is reported from a large German
hospital. A girl of 18 was under the ’
impression that she had swallowed a j
frog, which was alive in her stomach
and often jumped almost up into her
throat. The doctors had vainly tried to
cure her of this illusion, and she was
rapidly dying, when it occurred to one
of the medical men to put a tube into
her mouth in which a small frog had
been placed. The lively creature jumped
almost immediately out of its prison
house onto the table in front of the
girl, and a yonthful student put it into
spirits, labeling the bottle, “Extracted
from a stomach. ” The moment the girl
saw the creature a beaming smile spread
over her pale face, she took food at once
and greedily and is now completely
cured.—Westminster Gazette.
Myrtle at Royal Weddings.
Near the flag tower at Osborne and
bordering on the carriage entrance to
the palace is a charming garden, which
contains a very large myrtle tree grown
from a sprig taken out of the wedding
bonqnet of the princess royal in 1858.
Each royal bride has since carried a
piece of myrtle from the bush in her
bonqnet on her wedding day, and two
bits were sent to Cobnrg for the use of
Princess Victoria Melita. Even the
Duchess of Cobnrg had some of the myr
tle from Osborne in her bouquet when
she was married, the queen having sent
the pieces all the way to St. Petersburg
in charge of Lady Augusta Stanley.—
New York Sun.
Rabbit Skin Jelly.
According to Figaro, a new and suc
cessful industry has been discovered in
the selling of rabbit skins to confection
ers for the making of calf's foot jelly.
The hair is taken off and used for stuf
fing of couches, manufacture of hats,
etc.; then the skin is subjected to cer
tain processes until the oils are extract
ed. It is said that over 5,000,000 skins
are annually imported into England
from Melbourne alone.
A Woman and a Clock.
A woman who would spring on an
unsuspecting husband such a ghostly
looking object as an illuminated clock
deserves to lose it, as a Biddeford wom
an did. The husband awoke in the night
and saw what he took for a bullseye
lantern staring him in the face. He
made a rush for the supposed burglar,
and the clock is no more.— Lewiston
Journal.
F. M. Rathbun, republican can
didate for state senator from the
29th district, was born in 1849, at
Courtland, DeKalb county, in the
state of Illinois. Up to the age of
13 he had only the advantage of
the common district school. Since
his fourteenth year he has been
entirely dependent upon himself.
1869-70 and a portion of ’71 were
spent in the south and southwest, j
In the latter part of’71 he went
to Aurora, Illinois, where he ac
cepted a position with the Hoyt
Bros. Manufacturing Co., which
he retained about five years. At
this time being married and desir
ing a change of vocation, he began
teaching in DeKalb county, for
which work he had qualified him
self by private study. After two
successful terms of teaching he
entered the academical department
of Knox County College, at Gales
burg, Illinois. Two terms of ear
nest study here were followed by
another year of teaching, then,;
yielding to solicitation, turned his
attention westward. In 1878 he
located a homestead in Frontier
county, since which time he has
been closely identified with the in
terests of Frontier and Furnas
counties. He has ever been a very
earnest and loyal republican, some
what of the aggressive type per
haps, and capable of dealing hard
blows in defense of republican
principles and honest republican
principles.—Cambridge Kaleido
