How. the. Fire Spread.
The suddenness with ' which the flamea
pread over the city and Jumped about '
from place to place, skipping- some houses
and then spreading- back, waa illustrated
in countless ways. One man on Fourth
street waa doing a. bit of painting about
his bouse, having forgotten, perhaps, that
It was Eunday, and to do the work had clad
himself in a pair of old overalls, a dirty
jumper and a cap. He aaw the fire loom
ing up pretty big from hla window and he
went to the street to have a look at the
prospect.
When he reached the sidewalk he saw
neighbor a short dlatanee down the
street trying to quench a fire that had
caught on hla piasxa. and the painter ran
down to help him. They wdrked aeveral
minutes, but could not ave the house, and
as it. bad become very hot by that time
the painter hurried back to his house to
get ready to move some things. When
he got there flamea had such a hold on his
house that he couldn't get Inside the door
and he had to run, clad In hla overalla and
Jumper, to save hla life. One pair overalla.
one juniper, one cap, one pair old shoes.
and one suit underwear, are his assets
today. " -
Another man left his house, which waa
then apparently aafe, to go down to see the
fire. He had on a smoklrg Jocket and cap.
He watched the fire Increase for a while
and finally came to the conclusion thai It
was bound to take In moat of the city, and
to he hurried back to hla home, only to
find it In ruins. The blazing brands had
Jumped over hla head and burned ahead
of him. Many men who had left their
homes In this way to go and wtch the
fire were later unable, when they started
back to their homes, to get through the

Another woman had a( most trying ex
perience. She waa doing aome work in
her bedroom upstairs, and dressing, and
didn't know bow rapidly the fire waa
approaching her room. When she had fin

children that had been left there by a
couple of neighbors. The neighbors had
taken them In there for safe keeping white
they fought the fires In their homes, and
had finally been obliged to run, leaving
the children there. The woman In whose
house the children had been left had to

A man on Chester avenue was far-sighted

HISTOEY AND BF.TXF.rS OF INDIAN3
As the fire was enveloping the buildings
on Broadway, near Chelsea square, a police.
man who was standing near by keeping the
crowd back heard a heartrending yell Issu
ing from a bull ling that was about all
gone except the walls and roof. The po
liceman started for the building wondering
all the while how anyone could have lived
so long In that building. Again the shriek
came and just as the policeman waa telling
some one to hurry to the station for a life
net he saw a cat, without a strand of hair,
and with much less of a tall that she had
dragged about previously In the day, leap
from a third-story window of the blazing
building to the street. The cat disappeared
in the crowd, still shrieking in most human
tones.
Speaking of cats, there is a whole staff
of thetn in the clerk's office in the court
house building that have sought refuge
there.
One man devoted all his energies and
risked his life to lead his cow from the
flaming city. The cow was his principal
asset and part of his means of support,
and he made no attempt to save anything
except the animal. It was with the great
est difficulty that he managed to get her
out of danger, too, for the poor animal waa
so frightened that ahe refused to move at
timee, and when the man and hia charge
reached the ferry, which was still running.
he was worn out. An immense throng waa
crowding the ferry slip, enough to crowd a
dosen boats, but wheVi the gatea were
opened the man and1 hla cow were pushed
aboard and secured a footing on the boat
under conditions most uncomfortable to
both of them.
The crowd for ihe moat part was good
natured and began to chide the man about
hla cow. They pushed about him and
asked him all aorta of vexing . questions.
The man took all this bantering aeriously
and finally remarked that he "had brought
the cow out of h I. but had sot ber into a
worae place."
A story is being told of a man who waa
staring In amasement from the window of
a H. & M. train that had just stopped at
the Chelsea station. The man waa on hia
way to Boston from some district so re
mote that be had heard nothing of the
Chelsea fire. When the train atopped at
the elation he saw other passengers craD
ing their necks to ace the sight and he
looked out. He bad never seen such a slglit
before and couldn't understand it. Neither
could he understand why an express train
should stop there.
He raised the car nrindow, - stuck hia
head our and asked of a man standing by
the track: "What do you call this bleak,
dirty, burned-up, barren, godforsaken
place, anyway?" The man spoken to had
a sense of humor left even If he had lost
everything else by the f're, and in a for.
iorn tone replied: "Well, that's god
enough; let it go at that." Boston Globe.

" A volume shortly to be published by the
bureau of ethnology at Washington em
bodying the experiences and researches of
Miss Alice C. Fletcher of Cambridge among
the Omaha tribe of Indians, is certain to be
of very considerable general Interest
throughout the United States, as well as of
particular concern to the region In which
the Omahans have been settled since long.
before the
Fletcher, who several years ago devised the
system of loaning small sums of money to
aid Indians In buying land and building
houses for themselves, haa lived for months
at a time among the Qmahas and haa sue-
(.'jeded in a marked degree in overcoming
the aboriginal reserve and arriving at an
understanding of the poetical and musical
forma of expression that have beeu handled
down from a remote antiquity.
In describing for the first time the condi
tions under which her work began. Miss
Fletcher says:
"When I went among the Omahas for
scientific study I found the shadow of the
fear of removal lurking at every campfire.
The memory of the enforced transportation
of their relatives, the Ponea tribe, from
their home on the Niobrara river to the
then Indian Territory waa very fresh In tha
memory pf the people. So many Poncas
had died from the change of climate,
the Omahas. who had for generations lived
where they were on the banka of the Mis
souri, were In terror lest a like fate might
as suddenly overtake them. .
Anxiety About Removal.
"No one with a touch of humanity could,
probe Into their past history, beliefs, leg
ends and the like, and Ignore the present
anklety. So I temporarily closed my
aclentlflc notebooks and set myself to work
to plan aome way to help the people. J
gathered statistics and tried to show that
the people were entitled to own their land
and home individually. I sent a petition
on to Washington in 1881. Then I waited
and the Indians waited, but no word came.
Incredulous that such an appeal could
pass unheeded, I started for Washington
feeling sure If the facts were known that
the cry of the people for their homes
would be heeded.
"It la a long story. But, after months of
effort, speaking before the committee of
congress, before leading people In the par
lors of friends, before churches and wher
ever I C'Uid carry the plea for the homes
of the Omahas, I secured the passage of a
bill which became a law In August, 18S2,
giving the Omahas their land in severalty.
Having secured their land, . homes were
needed. Hence the plan for small loans,
which did good work In Its time and
place. Then came the matter of education.
The homes secured, I then could pursue my
researches with an undivided mind. Much
of this waa carried on Incidentally, while
I allotted the people under the provisions
of the bill giving them their homes.
"The Omaha bill was tbe forrunner of
an Omahan who had been her collaborator

were drawn by Apgel de Cora, a Winne
bago girl, who has since won her way as
an illustrator.
First Families of Nebraska.
The habitat of the Omahas. In historical
times, as Is well known, covered the state
cf Nebraska, which waa ceded to the
United States government with the reser
vstion of a certain tract for the use of the
Indiana. At the time of the accne of the
Omaha Indian's atory the members of the
tribe were living near the Missouri river.
In three villages. In those days, as Mr.
La Flesche recalls, the Missouri was the
only highway of commerce up and down
which, laden with supplies for the mission,
came the pufflrrfe little steamboats for tho
"town of the ied-ha!r," as St. Louis was
called by the Indians In memory of the
auturn locks of Oovernor Clark.. i
As showing the wealth of sentiment
among the native people of this region-,
Miss FletcheT quotes Mr. La Flesche'
recollection of the conditions in his boy
hood: "Tho white people speak of the coun
try at this period as a 'wilderness,' ' as
though it was an empty tract without
human Interest or hlstoiy. To us IndlanB
it was as clearly defined as it is today;
we knew tho boundaries of tribal lands,
those of our friends and those of our foe;
we were familiar with every stream, the
oortoUr of every hill, and each peculiar
feature of tne landscape had Its tradition.
It was aur home, the acene of our history,
and we loved It as our country." Boston
