A SCENE OF EARLY DAYS
KE-EXACTED IN WYOMING
Cheyenne, Wyo., August 19—A
dozen emigrant wagons—the fani
illnr "prairio schooners" of the
west—-drawn by oxen and horses to
day moved slowly over the prairie.
• In tlia distance a war whoop was
heard and several hundred Indians
in *uil war-paint soon appeared, rid
ing at n hard gallop for the wag
ons. Immediately the hollow square
so familiar in early history of the
west was formed by the wagons and
the Indian attack was met.
For some moments the battle r.v;
ed furiously, the redmcu lying flat 1
on the sides of their ponies and j
firing from under necks of the anl- 1
mills. Finally in a desi erato sortie
from tho wagon corral the emigrants!
drov\< tho savages aw ty and an
other victory had bee achieved by
the pioneers of tho groat west.
All of this happened, in pantom
ime, at Frontier park this after- ■
noon, constituting tlie feature of '
the second day of tho Frontier Day
celebration in progress hero. It
was the closing evi'nl in a program
of wihl western sports. These i
ranged from tho riding of small .
but active burros '•>> cowboys to a '
one mile horse race in which only .
Indian chiefs v.i—e entered.

These values are gifts presented
to former and prt .t officials of .
tho government, from presidents 1
down ta minor arnij mid navy offic
ers, by foreign gow. l.ments and
kings aud potent a: es of tlie world.
Uncle i'arn has grabbed them all off
under ancient. la.'..i ul under the .
const it n, ion which prohibits accept- (
ance cf such gifts by government of- .
ficials. When the acceptance of .
such gitts, it is argued, is diame
trically opposed to oar democracy ,
aud democratic institutions!.
Our forefathers, when they fram
ed tho eonstitution, feaied that the
infant government's otficials might
bo opened to attempt by foreign na
tions to bribo them. Therefore they
put the ban on tho receipt of itny
sort of gifts by govoi ununt officials j
Irom foreign pwers. But it didn't
stop any of the gifts. The
"mv^tw" at »ho si.ito department is
rich e,'idenco of this, iis are some
of the tases :it the national museum
where are displayed fiii's made to
President Grant and other presi
dents and government oficials. These
gifts that never readied tlie recip
ient, and now on display in the mus
eum, are alone worth many hundred
of thousands of dollars.
The constitution permits congress
to waive the prohibition against re
ceiving gifts, If congresses bo dis
posed, but during the nation's life
such permission- has rarely been
granted.
