.,!■' U-. Toreva, Aria., Feb. 4, 1910.. Dear Friends: —People in general are more or less superstitious, but the Hopis are much more so than any people we have ever met; and we know very few of their superstitious beliefs as they are shrewd enough aot to tell them. We will tell briefly a few which we have noticed by observation. Hopis desire friendship and are very careful in their doings, always trying to avoid Any 111 feeling toward them by us and If they imagine one is . vexed they would do anything to again make up, as “the witches bothtr them In their sleep If they are not on friendly terms. Will relate an instance showing game. Several weeks ago we Invited our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Moran, to spend Sunday with us. They had previously asked an Indian to bring burroiighp down so they might ride home. The Indian brought down a horse Instead, thinking he might get more money. We told him we wantetrburroughs. He kindly took his horse back and brought them, and then sat around the house expecting his dinner. We finally told him he was not desired in the bouse. He then left and was seen amotg the rocks all day until about 4 o’clock, when he took them home. The witches bothered him that night, so the next day he was down early in the morning and began chopping wood for us without any commands; carried water and all other jobs, finally ventured to come Into the house and asked, “Um quatsy?’’ which means “Are you my friend?” and when we said, “O-ey Tea,” he said “Now Fm happy.” * About December 22nd they have certain ceremonies at which time the chief sets the sun back, that is, starts the sun back north. Then the sun comes back as far as the land of the buffalo; then they have a Buffalo dance. This occurred last Saturday, January 29th. We had the pleasure of seeing it and give a short description of same. A .There are only four dancers, two ladies and two men. They have their peculiar customs. The men have on white trousers, velvet shirts, both being decorated beyond recognition. Then a head of feathers and a goat horn on each faces blackened with a gourd, rattler In each hand. The ladies have on neatly knit blankets, made especially for this dance, their heads covered with feathers and a board painted up to represent a sunflower, which has long feathers around -It until the entire, measures about three feet ’in diameter. This they fasten on their back. The dressing is done in a kiva or cellar. The chorus lead’s. This consists of about twentyfive boys, dressed in every unimaginable way, each one having a banner, on which they extend skins, feathers, ribbons, etc. They have a large drum made of sheep skin and start off singing, the dancers leading until they come tq selected spot. Here is where they show their superstition. The girls start off a march after the boys, having the sunflowers on their backs. Then after a certain 'amount of coaxing the girls come back, just as they think the sun should de. Then they have about the same kind of proceedings when the days get too long and they again start the stm back south. Gloty to the Hopis, or we would have either an awful long day or night They furrier show their peculiar be liefs in the wood Moqui, which is really the tribal name, but as Moquf means death, they are very careful how they associate the wood, and are very popular about the handling of the dead. As soon ,as the death occurs a person is wrapped in a blanket and thrown in a dpep crevice. This is the case only when it is a young child. Should it be a grown person he or she 11 burled sitting up and every day for lour days the relatives carry peki and peaches to the grave. This is his nourishment until he has passed to the land beyond, wherever they think that is. We are unable to say. They only mourn four days, and sometimes not even the neighbors know of the misfortune. At present they are having the whooping cough and midnight burials are common. We can see the great comet over the hills each evening. They are very superstitious of it, but we have been unable to learn, their idea of the same, but they- won’t venture out until after the moon rises and they are afraid of meeting the “Man in Red,” too, before it is moonlight. As we had the pleasure of harboring a man until about 9 o’clock just about a week ago, we learned just why he was afraid. Some time ago they tied ba-hoos (feathers) on their dogs, horses burroughs, cats, around all their shrines, in their chllflren’ sears and on everything they expected to be good. If they didn’t do this their horses would leave them; likewise their dogs and burros. Some, too, are very superstitious about medicine. The government doctor visits each village weekly, but tome won ft < oil, no maxier now sick they may be, but their “medicine man” will paint a baby's tongue when

4t has pneumonia, and they willingly give him a sheep. But some are beginning to see differently, and no matter what the doctor gives them it’s has quangive (very sweet), whether it is quinine, or compound cathartic pills- , These'are a few ways in which they show superstition. No doubt there are many more that we have never heard of. •' We shall next write about the things the United States does for the Im dian. Yours sincerely, MR AND MRS. JABBRG. Newton C. Anderson. Monday evening sold ids restaurant to Gero & Schlickmann, two well known young men, who took charge at once and will conduct the place of business in the high class manner in which'it has been run heretofore. Milton Gero came here from Berne and has been employed at the restaurant for a year past, being thoroughly acquainted with every branch thereof. Henry Schlickmann, the other member of the firm, is well known here and will prove a clever business man. Mr. Anderson has been in the restaruant here for five years and has paid strict attention to business. 'He is one of the best citizens of Decatur and it is with regret that we learn that he will leave shortly for Anderson, Missouri, where he will likely close a deal with his brothers, who have been engaged in the lumber business there for some time and who hold vast interests, including about 19,000 acres of valuable land. However, we wish him all kinds of_ success, should he decide definitely [ to move there. Mr. Anderson made a success of his business here and asks us to thank the people of this community for their liberal patronage which he has appreciated fully, i / I HI H— A. J. Beavers, who recently sold his big and valuable farm in Kirkland township, left Tuesday for Monticello, Ind., where he has arranged to open a big Racket store. That he will succeed la confidently predicted by all who know him, for he to a hard-work- i Ing, intelligent, honest hustler and is

well located. Monticello is a|town of about four thousand population, and with but one small store of this kind, an unusual opportunity for this period of five and ten-cent stores. Mr. Beavers was assisted in the selection of a location and the purchase of his stock by Mr. George Morris of Bluffton, who owns eight or ten of these stores and who known the business from beginning to end. This also gives him the advantage of buying through Mr. Morris, a great add, because the latter buys for all his stores at once and thus secures the very best price. Mr. Beavers is a splendid citizen and we wish him all possible success in his new work. —— — -C , Miss Frances Dugan, a student at Vassar, writes of an interesting event which took place there recently, this being the annual ’lce Carnival” of the students. When the occasion draws near for the holding of the carnival the snow is scraped from the ice until the large lake presents the appearance * of glass. The carnival is-held at night and large bon fires, built at intervals along the banks of the lake, under the drooping, spreading branches of the ’immortal elms” and Japanese lanterns hung here and there on the branches, makes a most fairy-like scene. To complete the fairy-tike idea, a band to stationed at one end of tire lake, and then as the “strains so sweet music” float forth on the night air, four hundred Vasar girls, all dressed in white, form a grand march, and glide over the smooth surface of the lake. The skating is kept up until midnight, the appearance being like a grand baH. JAt midnight the skaters leave for the ■ indoors, where a supper is enjoyed. 'Miss Frances states that the beauty of the scene is one that beggars description, and that It was the “best skate” of her life. " o i-. i. Mrs. Sarah Helm went to Fort. Wayne this morning to call on her sister, Mrs. Lincoln, who has been seriously ill with tuberculosis forsome time. Mrs. Helm received a card Monday, saying that she could live but a short time longer. „
