Wal-Lah. The assistant chief, Ba-
son Rind, is the sage of the tribe.
The tribe is divided into nearly
dozen bands, each in charge of
subordinate chief. The names of
some of these bands are: Big Hill,
William Penn. Strike AK, Saucy
Chief, Claremore. Beaver and Black
Dog. They live in villages in vari-
GUS parts Of the reservation.
The biggest village is located a
mile from this town. 1t consists of
about rs cottages of various sizes,
though mostly one-story high, tents
around a 100-acre lot.
An agency boarding school and
a contract school conducted by
Catholics are provided for the In
dian children. Each has an attend
ance of about $50 Pupils are given
board, books, clothing and tuition
free. The expenses of the schools
and the cost of running the agency
are taken from the general tribal
funds. In addition to the regular
branches the children are taught
farming, dairying, carpentry and
blacksmithing. Those who desire
higher education are sent to Car
Isle, Haskell or other Indian
schools.
The Osages have twice voted for
the allotment of their property, the
royalties to be held apart from the
land and to be distributed as at
present. 1t is probable that within
few years such a division will be
made with the government, how
ever, retaining charge of the prop
erty of the old people and such
others of the tribe as are not able
to protect their own interests.

KENTUCKY MAY
YIELD DIAMONDS

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-David
Draper, an expert diamond pros.
pector, who has visited this coun.
try in the interest of an English
syndicate, is in this city at present,
Investigating the situation of the
American market in diamonds and
other precious stones. He has just
returned from a prospecting tour
which took him through Kentucky
and several other districts in the
south. He made careful inspec.
ton of the district between Ison
and Creeches creeks, Elliott county,
KY, and says that surface bOrings
showed that a stratum of Kimber-
lite is close to the surface. Kim
berlite is the Acknowledging stra.
tum which has yielded such enor.
nous wealth of diamonds in South
Africa. There. are, in his opinion,
also strong indications of garnets,
filmenite, Divine, depside and mica
In his preliminary surface work he
id not find any diamonds, but he
is inclined to believe that there
may be diamond bearing deposits
in that district.
} Mr Draper does not consider it
at all strange that no diamonds
have, so far, been found in that
district, as the surface is covered
with thick growth of vegetation
He points to the fact that many
of the mines in the Transvaal were
discovered only after Is years OF
prospecting, although it was evil
dent to mining, experts that dia.
monds existed there. In his opin-
ion there is no reason why the de-
pOsits in Kentucky should not bear
just as large and fine gems as those
in South Africa and says that the
cost of mining would be a great
deal cheaper in Kentucky than in
South Africa. A yield of only five
carats per load would be sufficient
to make diamond mining in Ken
lucky paying.
Mr.. Draper expects to meet the
members of the syndicate in Lon.
don about two weeks hence and
will probably advise them to have
expensive borings and investiga.
tions made by competent diamond
prospectors. He thinks it would
cost about 100000 to explore the
district and that it would require
about two years time to complete
the work.

Dukes Millions.


James Buchanan Duke is about
so, and was the favorite son of the
late Washington Duke. who found
ed the tobacco trust 1t is esti-
mated that Dukes fortune amounts
to from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000.
He owns magnificent Duke estate
at Somerville, N. j., where he has
park of some 1000 acres. Three
hundred and sixty teams worked
for three years to improve the
estate. One of it's chief beauties
is an artificial lake, which cost
81 100000 to build The mansion
cost $1,5OO,O0O, and 100000 was
devoted to the fittings and art.
James B. Duke has been called
1.-The hardest working millionaire in
the world" He has devoted most
of his time to the upbuilding of the
tobacco trust, and has had little
interest in the fads and fancies of
the average American of inherited
wealth.
Mrs. Dukes defense will be made
public when her answer is filed in
the New Jersey court of chancery.
1t is said that both she and Hun
toon will deny the charges.
Brodie Duke, brother of James
b., sued his wife, Alice Webb Duke
of Chicago. asserting that shortly
after their marriage she was guilty
of improper conduct. Justice Gel
gerich denied her application for
alimony. The divorce action is still
pending. She was also Divorce
before her marriage to Duke.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-History
Is Unexpectedly repeated in the di-
vorce action with which James Bu-
chanan Duke has startled the world
of wealth and fashion. Although
president of the American Tobacco
company and regarded as the
brains of the millionaire Duke fam
lily, his matrimonial venture has de
veloped as unhappy climax as
that of his eccentric brother, Brodie
l.. Duke, whose divorce suit is still
unsettled. The marriages of both
men were such as to cause a deal
of comment. and both actions for
separation bristle with sensational
charges.
After a honeymoon of less than
10 months James B. Duke names
rs correspondent Frank T, Hun
toon, a captain in the famous Old
Guard regiment, a familiar Broad
way figure and club man, and in
business life the president of min
eral water concern. Duke asks for
an absolute divorce from Lillian N.
Fletcher-McCredy' Duke.
A Former Scandal.
Mrs. Duke was formerly the wife
of William e. McCredy. wealthy
coffee broker and club man. She
began suit for separation from
him in April 1892. McCredy filed
counted charges, which resulted in
his obtaining a decree of divorce

February. Then they settled down
to live at II West Sixty-eighth
street, in beautiful brown stone
mansion which had been a gift to
Mrs. Duke from McCredy.
Gets Tip Abroad.
Duke went to Europe, supposedly
on business, last July. According to
the papers in the case and a state
ment by Richard V. Lindabury,
Dukes counsel, Mrs. Duke and
Captain Huntoon were frequently
seen together at the race tracks
and restaurants Immediately after
Dukes departure. Specific dates,
amounting to six or more, are men,
toned, and the acts complained of
were committed, it is charged, at
the town house of the Dukes and
one or two other places on Long
Island
While Duke was in Europe he
was informed of his wife's alleged
conduct, and by cable he engaged
detectives He started proceedings
one day after his arrival home.
Lindabury asserts that when Duke
went away there had been no trou-

Huntoon and Mrs. Duke were
warm friends before her marriage.

McCredy alleged that his wife
had associated with Benjamin Par
sons, flour merchant, and Henry
Keeper. a broker, in manner dis
tasteful to him. The most sensa-
tiOnal testimony in the trial was
that alleging the connection of
Mrs. McCredy with young Cuban,
student. A tenant of the San
Reno, one of the most fashionable
apartment houses in New York,
swore that the Cuban made his ap-
pearance there each day after Mr.
McCredy had gone to business and
that Mrs. McCredy had a code of
signals in operation to apprise the
young foreigner just when he might
appear. A letter was opened which
was alleged to have been addressed
