young warriors with sinews thrust
through knife Sits in their breasts,
danced around a pole until the flesh
broke and they fell exhausted, early
this month there were 10 600 Chris
tian Sioux Indians camped, while they
attended the annual convocation Of
the Nebraska, Deanery of the Episco-
pal church.
I'll was the largest number of Chris
tian Indians ever gathered together
at one place, and large delegations
We're present from each of the ten
tribes of the great Sioux nation.
Among those present were warriors
whose names a quarter of a century
ago brought terror to the frontier SET
tiers, but who have since then for
saken the war path and the dog feast
and have adopted the ways of the
white man and his religion.
1t is not generally known that rs
per cent Of the Sioux have adopted
Christianity and are now as earnest
Christians as they were once earnest
But the Indian as a Chris
tian is not just what a white man Is
who lays claim to religion.
No" BacksIiders."
For instance, there are no 'aaell
sliders' among the Indians, SO far as
religion is concerned. An Indian may
leave civilization and return to the
blanket state after he leaves school,
but he never forsakes Christianity, |
once he embraces it, And while his
religious code is never just the same
as white mans, a Christian Indian I
is a pretty safe proposition.
These 10000 Indians who were camp |
ed around the Santee agency all came
from their own reservations in wagons !
and on horses. and for days and days |
they were arriving at the camp |

which was built temporary altar. and
instead of dancing around the "medi-
cine" on the top OF the pole. the In
dams gathered to pray TO the God OF
the white man.
Most of the sermons preached were
in the Sioux language and by Sioux
Indian preachers. Whenever a white
man who cannot speak Sioux, preach.
es there are interpreters to translae
his words into the Indian language.
Thomas II. Tibbles, the Populist
himself a member Of the Omaha tribe,
yb adoption, says that the most elo-
auent man he ever heard preach or
lecture was the famous old Indian
White Cloud. White Cloud was n
Sioux and a mean one, too. He was
noted for his fierce and blood thirsty
nature and was one of the great war
lords of the Dakota tribe.
But White Cloud and his band had
battle with General Sydney during
one Of their wars and many red men
were killed, The others were cap.
tured, taken to Davenport, Ia, and
tried. White Cloud was sentenced to
death, but was pardoned by President
Lincoln.
With the remnants of his band the
old chief went back to the plains and
settled along the Missouri river near
this place Afterwards it was named
"Santee," after a noted Indian chief.
Alfred Riggs established school
at White Clouds camp, and as the
chiefs followers were poor as church
mice the followers were sent to Riggs
to learn to read-and to eat.

It is reported that the Union
Pacific railroad was making an
effort to corral the controlling
interest in the stock of the lii
nois Central for the purpose OF
absorbing that road. The Lii
nois Central has been a great
factor in developing the great
Mississippi Delta county in Miss
issippi and it would be hazarding
q great deal for the roa to go
into new hands. The policy OF
the I. C. has been one Of prog
ress, and while fighting for q
good thing for the road, the
management has not overlooked
the very important fact that to
bald up the road the country
that is contiguous must also be
built up. The. state can gain
nothing by having any OF its
roads absorbed by other great
systems.

The suggestion that the south
would be the loser by the adop-
ton of a uniform railroad rate
bill by Congress can hardly be
sustained, Rates south have al
ways been very much higher
than in the north, and with con-
gress making the rates our rep
resentatives would be on hand
to enter a protest on any unfair
determinations. AS it is we now
higher rates than are charged
in the north AMI have nobody
to look to for relief and can get
none except what competition
give us. Take st Louis, for in
stance, as a shipping point, and
we wager a dime to a doughnut
that all rates to the south are IN
excess of rates charged in any
other direction.

a county system and to this end request
the farmers Of the country to give it an
opportunity of presenting to them it's

the greatest of modern inventions, the
farmer can at a minimum cost to him
self keep in touch with the markets and
on the days that the highest prices are
offered for the products of his farm he
can be reached ove the telephone by
his merchants or by his confidential adj
visor and thus frequently in one trans
action save more.than the cost of his
