Three times Darrent read the paper

mystery was there hidden behind those
dark oak paneled walls in the dreary
library at The Grange? Was there some

Rhineharts Indian Pictures,

In the summer of 1886 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha Never before had there been
and never again will there be such
gathering. The were about five hun.
dred of them. some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original ravagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
helpless it was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that 30 complete and spectacular
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege of witnessing it are to be
covnted fortunate. AT the time of the
Indian Congress prominent photogra-
pher obtained permission to take the
photographs of the most noted Chiefs
present and succeeded in obtaining a
collection which never will be equalled.
Mr.. Rhlnehart, the photographer, copy

a few stores some hand colored proofs
which, notwithstanding their high
price, sold at once and these Indian
pictures have become the fad of the
