Order Issued by Carl Schur While Secretary Of the Interior,
Brought Long-Standing Trouble to Crisis.

Eouence Standing Bear Pleading for His Own and His Peoples Rights

Judge Dundys Famous Decision.

Omaha.-The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered in Omaha as the cause OF
the American Indians being admitted
to full citizenship in this country-not
through his taking the side of the red
men in the long struggle, but because
he, as secretary of the interior, issued
an order which so aroused the west to
the wrongs of the Indian that cru
SADIE was started in Omaha which
reached to all portions of the United
States, lasted seven years, and ended
by supreme court decisions and legisla-
tive enactments making the Indian as
free as white man it he choose to be
so, and to accept the conditions OF
civilization.
Schurz had the order issued to Gen.
Crook, then stationed at Omaha and
commanding this department of the
army, and Immediately the cause of
the Indian was taken up by Thomas
II. Tibbles, late vice presidential can
didate on the populist ticket; Gen.
Crook, John L. Webster, Judge Dundy,
ard a. score Of other men prominent In
the west.
Previous to the fight spoken of here
every Indian in the United States was
subject to the orders of the secretary
OF the interior. The government was
an absolute autocrat over the destiny
Of the red man In the entire country.
Pitiful Funeral Procession.
Back In 1879 pitiful procession
wendell its slow way northward from
Indian territory, bound for the prairies
Of Nebraska. There were 30 Indians
on foot and one old wagon, drawn by
two wornout horses. In the wagon
was the dead body Of a child-an In
dian boy. The leader of the little par
ty was the father of the dead child;
the famous Ponca Indian chief, Stand
ing Bear, few years later to be the
best-known Indian In the entire world
and to speak in every city in the
country in behalf of his people.
Standing Bears party was en- route
to the Niobrara country, in northern
Nebraska, to bury the child in the an
cieut burying grounds of the tribe.
They had started on the long trip, al
though permission to leave the reser-
walton in Indian Territory, on which
they had been settled against their
will, had been refused.
Formerly the Poncas lived in north

to emphasize his intention. When he
saw Mr.. Merton-who had described
himself as cheerful and homeiy look
ing''-he simply turned up his nose,
shifted and refused to move when
starting time came.
Only those who have had similar bit
ter experiences will believe me when I
say that move he would not till George
ran in front of him with handful of
oats 1--WE always carry nosebag for
journey.
I shall never forget that afternoon.
Mr.. Merton, shiny, fat and beaming;
I jerking the reins and calling at Neb-
uchadnezzar till was hoarse; George,
furious, running in front of our sulky
horse with the handful Of oats.
At the end of the first two miles
Northumberland managed to seize the
oats and devour them. Then he al
lowed George to get into the drivers
seat, Mr.. Merton getting up behind,
took the bit between his teeth and
raced home. Mr.. Merton hung, like
grim death, on our knifeboard of a
back seat.
Well. somehow, Mr.. Merton didn't do
either, though he wanted to be-
come our curate and said he should
have enjoyed the "quaint'' life.
QUAINT" was his own word, and
know he meant 1t naively, and not
rudely.
But uncle was getting impatient, and
impatience only made him more criti-
cal and not less easy to please.
AS soon as Mr.. Merton had been dis
missed, uncle informed us that he was
advertising again. 1t was very diff
ferent advertisement this time, how
ever: Wanted, a curate for a quiet
country parish. Age immaterial, but
must be earnest and gentleman. In
terview in London"
There were not so many replies, but
uncle said they were more to the
point" We were not allowed to see
them, and, of course, there was none of
the fun of the curates coming down for
the night. Instead, Uncle Bertram in
terviewed them at the waiting room
in the railway station, allowing half an
hour for six interviews.
But he always came home afterwards
dOWncast and alone.
Uncle Bertram is still without
curate.

CHINESE AS SLOW AS EVER
Agricultural Machinery Is a Rarity
in the Fields of Their
Country.

In the agricultural sections of the
entire Yangtse valley there is prac-
tically no use whatever for foreign
agricultural implements. The Chi
nese laborers in the rice and cotton
fields, in the mulberry groves and in
the gardens find the Chinese imple-
ments of greater utility than any OF
the foreign and adhere to them. The :
Chinese hoe, which contains much
greater weight of metal than the for
eign one, being practically mattock,
is, according to their ideas, more
serviceable in this heavy soil than
the foreign Implement.
All the ordinary hand implements
of agriculture are shaped and con-
structed according to Chinese taste.
Agricultural machinery is not used
in this section, even the plow being
a great rarity. The Chinese turn over
the ground usually with their mat
tocks. It is narrowed in primitive
v ay and when the crop is gathered
ha nd labor does all the work.
Under these conditions it is not
strange that the importing firms OF
Shanghai do not consider it worth
while to carry line of agricultural
implements. 1t is difficult even to OBJ
tain a foreign implement for use in
the garden of a foreigner in Shanghai.
This is the present condition and to
all appea, Ances it bids fair to con-
! tinue for an indefinite period. In the
| north, and especially in Manchuria,
some agricultural implements are be-
ling used, but these are rather the re-
suit Of Russian Introduction than OF
Chinese desire. The statement was
made recently in one Of the northern
papers that the intro uction Of mod
tern; agricultural implements seemed
lpracticallT as far OF as sver.

CONWAY ON FRISCO QUAKE.
British Mountain Climber Says Cooling
Earth Caused Shock.

British Mountain Climber Says Cooling
Earth Caused Shock
The cooling of the earth and the
subsequent shrinking of the surface
according to Sir Martin Conway, F.
r. G. S., the noted British mountain
climber, who arrived at New York
recently on the Cunarder Campania,
caused the great San Francisco earth.
quake.
"The western mountain range, ex.
tending through North and South
America, is constantly growing, .
said Sir Martin. GAS the cooling
process goes on the earth shrinks,
and, like the skin on drying apple,
as the sphere gets smaller the outer
covering settles in some places and
in others is forced up in ridges.
"These ridges are the mountains.
Now, as the process goes on, the
ridges get forced further up. The
mountains in the west grow probably
six feet in a century. This being so,
every once in a while something slips,
and then we have disaster like that
in San Francisco. r..
1.-Two or three shocks may come in
succession, and then there will be nc
other disturbance for hundred years,
No one can tell when they are coming.
Why this earthquake happened on the
west side of the mountain range and
not on the east is, I suppose, because
that is the weaker side.'

Soil Moisture and Humus.

In order to produce ton of dry
hay on an acre of land it is necessary
that the growing grass pump up from
that acre approximately 500 tons of
water, says Farmer and Breeder. In
order to supply this enormous guam
tity of water the soil must not only
be in condition to absorb and hold
water we'll, but it must be porous
enough to permit water to flow freely
from soil grain to soil grain. The
presence of large quantities of decay
ing organic matter (humus) adds
enormously to the water-holding ca
pacity of the soil, says the Live Stock
World. One ton of humus will absorb
two tons of water and give it up read
lily to growing crops. Not only that,
but the shrinkage of the particles of
decaying organic matter and the con-
sequent loosening of soil grains keep
the soil open and porous.
Furthermre, humus of good quality
is exceedingly rich in both nitrogen
and mineral plant food. The main
tenance of fertility may almost be said
to consist in keeping the soil we'll sup
piled with humus. The first step in
renovating WORKOUT soils is to give
them an abundant supply of humus of
good quality. Perhaps the best
source of humus is stable manure
containing both the liquid and the
solid excrement, especially when the
stock is fed rich heterogeneous foods.
Even a poor quality of barnyard
manure which has had much of the
plant food leached out of it has con-
siderable value because of the humus
it makes.
Another cheap and valuable course
of hu1nus: but one which must be used
Understandings, is crops grown to
turn under as manure. The legumes
are especially valuable for this pur-
pose because of the nitrogen they con-
tain, but other crops, such as rye, and
even corn sown thick, may sometimes
be made to supply large quantities of
humus of fair quality. Crops thus
used are called green manures.

WIDE-TIRED WAGONS.

WIDE-TIRED WAGONS.
AS an Assistance In Keeping Roadbeds In
Condition.
The matter of good roads has fire.
quently been considered in the edi-
torial columns of the Evening Times.
It is admitted that they not only in
dictate the progressiveness of the COM
munity, but that they are money
savers for the farmers who are CON-
PEELED by force of circumstances to
market large and heavy crops every
year.
The trouble has not been so much a
lack of desire for good roads as a
lack of any practical way of making
them without mourning an expense so
burdensome that it becomes prohibit
i've.
Macadam is out of the question in
the west, and without this or SINH
lar covering, it remains to construct
and maintain a solid roadbed with
nothing harder than clay and sand.
It is evident that this material, in
order to be solid, must be made so by
usage.
There is but one way to accomplish
this end, and that is by the usage of
the roadbed itself. Every load drawn
over the road must be made to do
duty as road builder.
This end can be accomplished by
the use of wide tires. These become
rollers and every time they pass over
the roadbed it is made more compact
and smooth, and consequently is put
in better shape by the using.
A sand and clay road treated in
this manner, if rounded so as to carry
off the surface water which falls upon
it, will be perfectly solid except in the
early spring thawings.
We are aware that change from
the old style narrow tire to the broad
is sort of evolution that will require
time. But the farmer who considers
for a moment must be convinced that
their use on soft roadbed is in it.
self system of construction. It is a
modified form of the disc used on the
farm.
It may be that more power would
be required to draw a load on wide
than on narrow tires on solid road
bed. But certainly what would be
gained by the use of narrow tires on
solid road would be lost when the
roadbed which they produce is con-
sidered.
There is, however, a road on which
the cumulative effect" of wide tires
has been fully tested. It is lumber
road up in Maine on which no tire
under six inches in width is allowed.
The road is about eight miles long
and was constructed by lumber CON-
pany to open up a large tract of tim
Der land, and is the private property
Of the company, which will not permit
it to be destroyed by narrow tires.
This road is marvel of smoothness
and neatness and has reduced the cost
of transporting heavy logs to a mini
mum. Not only this, but the wide
tires in use have obviated the neces-
sity of much ballasting on the road,
thereby reducing the cost of construc-
ton to minimum.
If such a road can be so main
tanned in Maine, where the soil is
more soggy than that of North Da-
kota even, there is no reason why
similar ones cannot be successfully
built and maintained in other states
