Missouri river shall be vexed by the bot
toms of barges which may be towed
to st. Louis or New Orleans by light
draught steam tugs. The utilization of
this great stream for the transportation
of the staple commodities of the North
west to the Gulf can not much longer
be delayed.
But later in the history of Nebraska
other distinguished barbarians have ap-
peared as orators and elected the atten-
ton and admiration Of those who were
among their auditors.
GENERAL GEORGE had perhaps as
ID. CROOK good knowledge
of the intellectual ability and moral
trend of the prominent savages of
northwestern Nebraska as any man liv-
ing in his day and generation. To him
the author is indebted for the following
specimens of eloquence from the tongue
of Spotted Tail.
During the Hayes administration it
was determined to reform the Indian
Bureau and to so manage it's affairs that
the annuities and the goods due the Ind
ians should be honestly distributed. A
first step in this direction was to ap-
point only Quakers and Episcopalians to
the office of Indian agent. This policy
was carried out quite rigidly for some
time. During it's domination a special
commission to interview the Sioux Ind
ians at Camp Robinson arrived at Cen
eral Crooks headquarters. In due time
the council was held. Eastern philan-
thropists who knew nothing of Indian
character, except from Cooper's novels
or "Hiawatha," appeared to give advice
and instruction to the Indians then and
there assembled. Long speeches were
made relative to the dignity of labor and
the necessity of constant work for every
human being. A tedious speaker in
formed the Indians that the white man,
his wife and his children were always
well housed, well fed and well clothed
because all white men labored. The
speech was lengthy and didactic and
very tiresome. When it was finished
SPOTTED TAIL said:
"My brother, the words you have
spoken sink deep into my heart. You
say all white men have good houses,
good food and good clothes because all
white men work hard. Those words
burn in my heart. Go back to our
Great Father in Washington. Tell him
that 1 have heard what you have said
and remembered it. Tell him therefore
that I want him to send out to my band
of Sioux Indians a whole lot of big
tables with square legs, tables which are
covered with green cloth Oh the top and
which are always accompanied by red

white people ought to go.
Governor Furnas admits hat the
scene was pathetic and that his heart
was really touched by the words of the
aged and emaciated man, for 1.-THE tones
of dying men enforce attention like
deep harmony" And SO he promised
White Cow that his request would be
granted and that he would be buried in
the attire which he had described.
Again White Cow renewed his strength
of voice and said: "My brother, I feel
sure that you would not tell me a lie at
any time and I am very certain that
you could not tell a lie to a dying man.
But when a man is dead he cannot tell
what kind of clothes he has on he don't
know anything about them. So I wish
that you would send a man right up to
the agency and get those clothes for me
now and have me put right into them.
Then I shall die happy and know that 1
am going into the other world dressed
just as I wish to be-"
This appeal was too much for the SYM
pathetic heart of the agent. Immed-
lately a messenger was dispatched for
the cavalry suit and in due time re-
turned with the same, and into it, after
a good deal of a struggle, the limbs and
body Of Mr.. White Cow were placed.
With a smile of supreme satisfaction
the old mai laid down again and soon
passed into peaceful slumber.
Two weeks afterwards, however, Gov
ernor Furnas was very much surprised
to receive a call from Mr.. White Cow,
who lived to enjoy and wear out that
suit of clothes with great comfort to
himself. During it's use, however, he
did secure from Governor Furnas a
promise that after his death he should
be buried in a sitting posture on a high
bluff of the Missouri river just above the
city of Decatur in Burt county. He de-
sired to be placed in a chair facing down
the channel of the Missouri river. He
said he wanted to sit there forever and
see the boats coming and going, to see
the white people crossing over into Ne
braska and making homes, putting trees,
orchards and ~hedgerows all over the
great plains where he had in his youth
so many times hunted the buffalo, the
deer and the antelope. And again his
appeal was triumphant, for Governor
Furnas promised him that he should be
so buried. And the day came and the
life went out Of the first, original,
famous and great orator of Nebraska.
Precisely the promise made by Cover
nor Furnas was fulfilled and the mortal
remains of Mr.. White Cow were dis
posed of as he desired they should be, on
the high bluff of the Missouri river, the

get three plugs of tobacco bring them in
and give them to the old fellow" The
messenger soon returned and handed the
three plugs of tobacco to the indignant
advocate. Immediately he whirled to-
wards Furnas and looking at him with
Indignation flashing from his great, dark
eyes, said in a tone of intense scorn :
Gas I told you a little while ago, I have
travelled a great deal !; 1 have seen all the
headmen and braves among the white
people and the great chiefs among the
Indians on the plains-all sorts of men
white men, red men and black men I
have seen all over this country" Then,
looking still more intensely wrathful
and bending his huge form over until
his hand nearly touched the floor, he
said: "But," docking straight at Fur

WHITE cows The foregoing
LAST REQUEST did not, however,
OF GOVERNOR disturb the ami
rorNAe' cable relations be-
tween Indian and agent. A few months
after that event, during a very severe
storm in midwinter, a messenger called
at the agency and informed Furnas that
White Cow was very sick and near unto
death and desired his immediate pres
ence. 1t was a night Of storm, wind
and snow, and the thermometer was
away below zero. But the demand for
his presence was so impOrtunate, and
supposedly coming from a man just
about to depart from this life, that Fur
mas Immediately through the binding
blizzard found his way to the habitation
of White Cow. The old Indian was
laid out on a pallet of robes and skins.
He was much emaciated. But after be-
ing bolstered up he shook hands with
Furnas and expressed his gratitude that
he should have come to him in that su-
preme moment. Through the interpre-
ter he again repeated the story of his
lifelong friendship for the whites and
finally wound up by stating that having
been so long Oh their side he felt in his
heart like a soldier of the government
and that therefore he desired as a last
favor that Furnas should promise him
that he should be arrayed for the grave
in the uniform of a cavalry soldier Of
the United States. He said he wanted

For some purpose not disclosed the

OF statistics showing the geographical
location Of the unmarried pnrt Of the
population Of the United States. It Is
In the form Of a map printed in colOrs,
and shows nj a glance In what part
bachelors arc most numerous and
where splnsters most abound. A table
given by 6tates shows tho number Of
bachelors and spinsters In each, and
In every State, even IN Now England,
where are 80 many unmarried women,
the bachelors exceed the maids In mum.
Der, tho proportion differing widely,
however Massachusetts,, for exam
pie, has 1903 bachelors and 21S,O70
spinstcrs, while Illinois has 858,O30
bachelors and iO1 ,45O spinsters; Indi-
ana has 1917 400 bachelors and 1O1 ,450
