WEALTH OF THE OsAGEs
The Resources of the Richest PeopIe
in the World,

IN the world,
From the Kansas City Journal.
The popular conception Of the Indian,
even In TINS city, so near to the Nation
is that he is an ignorant chap. with a bIan-
het ana squaW, and that all he has in the
world is a government ration and pipe

squalid, poor or unthrifty, either
The Osages are not only the richest In
dams in the world, but there are no other
people on the globe that compare with
them in this respect white black, red or
yellow. They live in Oklahoma, and they
have more money than they know what to

Know, for he has been trading with them
for years.
Major Whiting the other day, and learn
ed while there that the Osages have made
new contracts for the rental of their pas
ture lands. They have $4,000 acres of
land altogether, and of these 600 600 acres
are leased for grazing at an annual rental
OF sl2o,OO0 The Osages have now on de-
post In Washington with the United States
something like $,0OO,OOO, for which they
sold their lands in Kansas and this brings
them annually 100000 income. Besides
they own more than one and one-half mil
hons acres yet which are easily worth IS
an acre. Their land holdings are worth
nearly $S,OOO,OOO all told. There are 1872
Indians In the tribe, and they have their
holdings In common, men, women and chill
dren. When a child Is born it becomes a.
joint owner with all the rest. Thus there
is continual incentive for the individual
family to increase
The profits from the money In the
United States treasury, the recent leasing

AS might be expected, this wealth has
attracted to the reservation many white
men. who seek alliances with the Indian
maldens. The foxy old governors how
ever, have foreseen this, and they collect a
poll tax of 81 per month from every white
man there. This keeps the white popula-
ton down and makes it really desira BILE.

THREE YElRS SINGE The
CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

1t will be three years ago tomorrow
since the fighting blood Of the youth
of Delaware was aroused by a call
for volunteers to fight with Spain, the
oppressOr of Cuba, and who was sup
posed to have been responsible for the
blowing up of the battleship Maine
with its $50 brave victims. There was
no faltering or holding back. Della
ware was among the first States in the
Union to equip and put a regiment in
the field.
Patriotism everywhere was manifest
ed and there was plenty Of young blood
to fill up the ranks Of the National
Guard to its required quota and report
to the government for service.
II was a sad disappointment to both
officers and privates that the regiment
spent the exciting days of the short
and decisive conflict with the treacher-
GUS foe in Camp Tunnel, near Middle
town.
There was a rush to the country's
aid and defense and many of the boy:
in blue who were mustered out after 9
ltiresome siege of camp life have gone
to the front and distinguished them
selves in foreign lands under THE ban
ner Of Uncle Sam. and many of then
have bled and died both in the Philip
pines and Cuba for the cause OF free
dom. and many who offered their ser
vices in the active struggle were re
fused the much longed for privilege.

Bowers and William Rainey, who sent
them ashore in William Bartlett's 3

course in Light Of Present
Situation

Pittsburg, April 27.-The Dispatch
says; At a meeting in this city on
May a movement will be started for
the organization OF the Central Labor
Council Of the United States, which is
aimed to be an amalgamation OF all
the labor organizations of the country,
with central headquarters. the object
being to secure cooperation among all
branches of labor. and aimed to oper-
ate especially against the great trusts.
The project had its conception yes
terday in a little room on Smithfield
street, the district headquarters of the
Knights Of Labor A half dozen labor
leaders. including several national Of
fcers. were in the party that issued
the call. and last night President T. ].
Shaifer, of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers,
gave the idea his approval.
Among those in attendance yester-
day were: President /. r. Thomas, OF
the Pattern Makers League; President
John Kuntzler, of the American Flint
Glass Workers union; William Ben
nett, secretary of the patten makers;
JrW. PIyle national secretary of the
Structural Iron Workers; w. A. Shaw,
business agent of the International
Association of Machinists, and John
Fernau, district master workman OF the
Knights OF Labor
The plan was talked over in a gem
eral Wav and AT the meeting on Nav
s national convention will be called
TO which the heads of all the great Or
ganizations, including the American
Federation Of Labor, will be invited.
The scheme, as explained by Messrs,
Thomas and Pryle last night. WOULD
assume actual cooperation between all
branches Of labor in any labor dispute
The country would be divided into dis
tricts, each to have its own district
council.
President T. J. Shaffer said: 81 be-
lieve in the principle It is the natural
outcome of the big combinations Of the
present day. l have advocated It for
some time and have already incorpor-
ated the idea in my annual report to
the next convention of the Amalga-
mated Association. It is labor's only
recourse. in the light OF the present
industrial situation. The time will
come when the union iron workers will
refuse to make iron with non-union
coal. and when the miner will refuse
TO dig fuel for non-union mills"
