THE courtroom was crowded with
fashionably dressed women, and the
clergy, which had been greatly stirred
by the incident, was there in force.
Lawyers, every one in Nebraska and
many from the big eastern cities; bust
ness men, Gen. Crook and his full staff,
in their dress uniforms (this was one
of the few times in hisdife that Crook
wore his full dress in public, and the
Indians themselves, in their gaudy col
ors. The courtroom was a galaxy of
brilliancy.
ION one side stood the army officers,
the brilliantly dressed women, and the
White people; on the other was Stand
ing Bear, in his official robes as chief
OF the Poncas, and with him were his
leading men.
Far back in the audience, shrink
ing from observation, was an Indian
girl who afterward became famous as
a lecturer in England and America.
She was later known on both eonti-
nents by translation of her Indian
name, In-sta-the-am-ba Bright Eyes.
Long and Able Arguments.
Attorney Poppletons argument was
carefully prepared. and consumed 16
hours in the delivering, occupying the
attention of the court for two days. On
the third day Mr.. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-

with the beauty and culture of the
city.

situation became tense. AS the wrongs

THE cADDYs COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Cornplimen-
tary to a Professional
Player.

Walter ]. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half dozen
swisheS at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune
II am not in good FORM, he said, Il
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with a freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took a fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:
II have been travelling for the last
six months. l am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why l am in such bad
form to-day

Then we've played before, have

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
ne, as secretary of the interior, issued
an order which so aroused the west to
the wrongs of the Indian that cru
sade 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 ii 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
H. 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
eG cry 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 a pitiful procession
wendell its slow way northward from
Indian territory, bound for the pra1ries
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 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.

DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than bushel of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as Is pounds Of
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilatlng
a hearty meal.
