FOOT RACE AND GHOST DANCE
Novel Intermission in the Bound of Sham
Battles by Indians.
PECULIAR RELIGIOUS CEREMONY ENACTED
Member * of Scvoriil Ti-llieo Join In
the StraiiKcly AVIrril Danee tliut
I.cd Up < o the PI lie
llld e War.
A foot race , participated In by twenty-
four of the swiftest runners of the Indian
congress , and a ghost dance In which fifty
mun and women from the Apache , Chey
enne. Wichita and Sioux tribes joined , were
the attractions at the Indian village yesterday -
-torday afternoon. Neither ot these features
baa been presented before and they made
a pleasjng variation to Cho sham battles
vrhlch have been enjoyed by so many during
the last three weeks. They represented two
new and distinct phases of the Indians' fife ,
The one showed him In bis natural and
native sport , the other In his religious
ceremonial. The arrangements for both ol
'these exhibitions of the Indian at peace
were In charge of Prof. James Mooncy , the
government ethnological expert , who has
scent the last twelve years among the In
dians and especially among the Arapahoes
Owing to the small space In the enclosure
the track for the foot race was limited tc
100 yards. This distance was determined
upon as an experiment and was not expected
to develop the quality for which the Imllat
l most famed endurance. The Pueblos
Apaches , Navajoes nnd other tribes ot thi
iixtrcmo southwest are long distance run
ners and can follow a trait for hour aftei
hour without diminishing their speed. Th <
Wlchltas have a religious festival even
vear In which foot races for a distance 01
one or two miles form a part and the mem
bers of this tribe are trained especially foi
this distance. The tribes of the plains an
horsemen and , although they have a fov
runners , are not swift on their feot.
To bring theco various competitors dowt
to a short distance was the difficulty ex
perienced. But when the Sioux chief , III :
Horse Looking , called the competitors to thi
start twenty-four well-muscled , trlrn-llmbet
braves answered the blast ot the bugle
They were divided Into three groups o
eight competitors each , each group to rui
ono heat and the three winners to appea
In the final. The three heats were wet
contested , the first going to Sam , a Chlrlca
hua Apache , the second to a Crow nnd thin
to a Sioux. After a short rest the threi
winners toed the mark for tbo champlonshl ]
ot the congress. Birch was bare-headed
bare-footed and bare-legged. The Apachi
were a white , the Crow a red and th
Sioux a black shirt. The shot was fired
away sped the Crow and the Sioux , leavlni
Sam , the Apache , standing nt the post. Th
retl-shlrted Crow won by a foot. San
u-anted the race run over , claiming tha
the start was not fair. But they refuse *
to so Into another heat. So the question o
championship was left to bo debated arouni
the fires In tbo tepees.
( ihoit I ) a in-c Come * On.
Just as the shadows were beginning t
lengthen across the clearing In the center o
the village the men and women of the congress
gross trooped out from their wigwams t
glvo a rendition ot the famous Indian re
llglous ceremonial the ghost dance. Thi
differs from all other Indian dances. It I
the basis of a religion originated twelv
yearn ago by a prophet of the Plutes c
western Nevada called by bis people Wovok
and known to the whites as Jack Wllsot
He declared that he hud had a vision I

the , great god of the Indians , by whom he
was Informed that by going Into a trance the
people of the earth might gain a sight of
heaven and meet their departed friends.
When In this state he said that the new
earth would open before their eyes and anew
now life bo unfolded to them. The ghost
dance began to develop Immediately among
the Plutes and belief In the teachings of
Wovoka spread like a prairie fire across the
plains until the now religion and its at
tendant ceremonial became the llfo of the
western tribes. Its culmination came with
the outbreak of the Sioux at the Pine Uldge
agency and the massacre at Wounded Knee ,
where the government Intervened , believ
ing that the ceremonial tended to Inllamo
the redskins to rebellion.
The ghost dance given yesterday was of
too short duration to show the effecta. How
ever , It was not an Imitation to amuse the
spectators , but n real ghost dance partici
pated In with all the characteristic vigor
and frenzy. Fifty redclilns from the Arap-
ahoea , Sioux , Chcyenncs and Wlchltas men ,
women and papooses Joined hands In a
ring. With no musical Instruments but the
sonorous tones "of their voices singing In
unison they began to move In n circle. Low
and droning , llko the voices of monks
muffled by the walls of a distant convent ,
they repeated the strains ol the Indian
messlah's message to his people , while their
feet , stepping In perfect time , marked the
rhythm of the Arapaho song. Then the
Choyennes joined In , humming the tune but
not the words. The volume of sound In
creased and the sidelong steps beat the
ground more firmly. They stopped and the
Wlchltas and Sioux began the weird strains
again with other words In which the whole
circle joined. Their bodies began to sway In
time to their voices , lifting a prayer to the
great father , while cries of lamentation
broke In on the monotonous strain ,
Hypnotize lleglii Work.
Then three medicine men of the tribes
broke from the chain and with bodies bent
almost to the ground began to wheel around
the Inner circle , waving their white hand
kerchiefs In the faces ot the dancers. Hound
and round they went as the music changed
from lamentation to a frenzied song thai
Indicated the mesmeric spell Induced by the
rhythm ot their own motion and the Incanta
tions of the medicine men. Finally , two ol
the women dropped their hands to their side :
and 'trembling to the finger tips danced
Into the center of the ring , their eyes fol
lowing the medicine rn.cn as they spue
around them In search of subjects. The
outer circle continued the awful strain ol
the song whllo those within , oblivious tc
rhythm , threw up their arms In weird fan
tastic gesticulations , 'beat their breasts ant
tore at the roots of their hair , half consclou :
of what they did and heeding only the men-
dlcattons of the mesmerists. Then the Sloui
began the song sung at the Pine Rldgi
agency whose words translated are "Oui
father , the crow has told us to dance aroum
five tlmos and stop. " It began with thi
frenzy of the song ot lamentation , but wttl
each successive repetition became eofter am
softer , until with the last turn ot the clrcli
It died away and the famous ghost danci
was over.
Had It not becji that the dance was begui
so late In the afternoon It might have beet
possible for the medicine men to havi
broken up the dance and sent the wholi
ring Into a state of semi-consciousness , a
often happens when the ceremonial continue
late Into the night.

ViilHiNiiifNNlllio Way * of KcciiliiK the
Accounts Arc Iltiurtctl _ llxiii.
A largo portion - of the regular meeting
of the Board of Directors yesterday after
noon was occupied by the consideration of
a number of voluminous reports from the
committee on audit and revision relative to
carelessness and lack of business system In
the management of the financial affairs ot
the exposition. These related chiefly to the
failure of the cashier to strike dally bal
ances as was directed by the board some
weeks ago nnd to the failure of the same
official to retain anything to show that a
largo number of vouchers and warrants had
been paid.
On the latter score Chairman Kllpatrlck
reported that the expert examination of
vouchers to August 15 had showed that
there were n largo number of cases In wJUch
no record had been made of the fact that :
money had becji paid except the endorse
ment on the back of the voucher that had
been retained by the treasurer for his own
protection. A number of instances wcro
cited , ono of which referred to a voucher ;
for $ SC73.15 drawn In favor of Ooldle &
Son and cashed at the Union National bank
In November , 1897. In this case , as in tht
others cited , there was absolutely no record
on the books of the exposition to show that
the amount had over been paid.
Numerous cases were also cited In which
pay checks had been cashed without exacting
a receipt or making any entry on the books
to Indicate that the employe had received
his money. The same unbusinesslike policy
prevailed In the matter of checks which
were drawn and Issued while no receipt
was taken or record made beyond the en
dorsement of the recipient on the back of
the check when he presented It for payment
at the liank.
Three CiiHt'H that Arc SunpIeloiiM.
Several directors suggested that these
facts were very Important and that the
situation called for vigorous action. This
led President Wattles to ask Mr. Kllpatrlck
If the committee had discovered anything
that eeemed to Indicate that any funds
had beer misappropriated or embezzled. Mr.
Kllpatrlck stated In explanation that nothing
of that kind was suggested except In three
cases , in which amounts of $1,509 , $3.50 and
$175 , respectively , had been returned to the
exposition and bad not been credited to any
of the funds. This left ono of two con
clusions. Either the employe who received
these sums had put them Into his pocket
or the cash for the days on which they )
were received should be over to that ex
tent. It was Impossible to tell whether the
latter was the cose because no dally balances
had been kept.
In reference to the dally cash balance
Chairman Kllpatrlck Included a report from
the special examiner , who declared that the
J records of cash as kept by the cashier
showed that the cash was nearly $500 over
when he begun his Investigation and was
still about $130 over. He added that the
cashier kept an Incomplete record of the
cash for various days on slips of paper
which were subsequently entered In the
t books. No proper cash balance had ever
been made ,
Continuing , 'ho committee report referred
again to the three amounts previously cited ,
In which Uio failure to maintain n dally cash
balance made It Impossible to tell whether
ur not a fraud had beau committed. The
committee recommended that the cashier
should be compelled at once to make the
dally cash balances and after n motion to
this effect had been adopted the reports were
referred to the executive committee.
Reports.from the same committee showed
that the bills receivable on September 16
amounted to $6,115.16. The amount unpaid
by exhibitors was $13,525.05 and the amount
overpaid exhibitors was -$3,204.65. A num
ber of errors had been discovered and the
committee recommended that the accounts
should bo carefully checked up by the ex
hibits department at once. This matter was
also referred to the executive committee ,
that the collection of these unpaid claims
should be vigorously pushed.

The following resolution by General Man-
derson provoked quite a sharp debate , which
ended In Its adoption :
In view of the historical vafue of every In
cident connected with the Transmississippi
and International Exposition and the impor
tance of preserving In a safe public deposi
tory all material connected with Its Incep
tion , Its progress , Its development and Its
triumphant success , It Is
Resolved. That the president and secre
tary of the exposition are hereby directed to
obtain by purchase or otherwise one at least
i of every medal , souvenir , program , photo-
1 graph , Illustration , magazine or newspaper
article and nil other matters and things conj -
j nected with Its history that can be procured.
Resolved , That all such material's when
gathered shall be placed In suitable cases or
receptacles In the building of the Omaha
City library , provided that said library shall
agree to furnish suitable places therefor and
give due core to the preservation of the
same. It Is further
Resolved , That the president shall appoint
from the directors of the exposition a com
mittee of three to constitute and be called
the Historical committee. Such 'committee
shall bo authorized and empowered to cm-
ploy a suitable person as historian , who shall
nt once proceed with the gathering of the
' material and Information for a complete his
tory of the exposition and prepare the manu
script and select the Illustrations and plates
therefor. Such manuscript and material to
be rrady for the printers by June 1 , 1899. It
is further
Resolved , That the sum of $10,000 , or so
much thereof ns may bo necessary , shall be
appropriated for such purpose. The sum
needed to be expended under the direction
of the historical committee upon voucher np-
proved by a majority of them nnd counter
signed by the president ot the exposition.
, The said committee shall serve without com-
' pcnsatlon or emolument , but Is authorized to
employ a stenographer at not exceeding $75
per month. The material prepared for pub
lication shall be approved before prlntlng'by
the said committee , which shall also direct
the form of the book to be pubKshcd and provide -
vide for Its binding. One copy ot said book
shall be furnished to tbo Omaha City library ,
to the University of Nebraska , to the Omaha
High School library , to Crelghton college
nnd to each one of the directors of the ex
position. Air other of said publicationsshall

and binding and 10 per cent additional. Thn

Manager Rosewatcr opposed the resolu
tion on the ground that It contemplated an
unnecessary nnd unjustifiable expenditure.
He said that the bulk of the material re
ferred to In this resolution had already
b en collected by the Department ot Pub
licity and other souvenirs and records were
In the hands of the secretary. Ho con
tended that to appropriate EO largo a sum
for the purpose mentioned would be to ret
down the bars for all sorts ot extravagance
in the preparation of the "history" contem
plated and that It was at the least poor
policy to tlo up so largo n sum. He moved
that the appropriation be reduced to $2,500 ,
but this was lost and the original motion
prevailed.
