The case came to trial. 1t was the
most notable trial ever brought in the
west, and, in fact, the scope was as
wide as any ever tried in the United
States, for by its decision 100000 peo-
Pile were made citizens.
Thomas H. Tibbles attended every
session OF that court. In his own
words he describes it this way:

body buried in the strange country.
but instead, gathering a few members
of his tribe, he started for the ancient
ing to bury the child where genera
tions of Ponea chiefs lay.
Sohurz heard of the rlnaways, and
through the war department tele-
graphed Gen. Crook, in Omaha, to ar
rest the Indians and return them to
Indian Territory.
But the chief of the Omahas, Iron
Eye, went to meet the Poncas and Of
fei'ed them a haven of refuge on the
Oaaaha reservation.
I'VE have all the land Standing Bear
and his people wish for; we have corn
and meat in plenty; come live with
u.s." said Iron Eye.
But the government, through Schurz,
said NO"
So Crook arrested the old chief and
brought him and his followers down
to Omaha. And with them came the
wagon bearing the dead child.
Standing Bear told Crook his indi-
vidual story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history of the In
dians and was already indignant at
their treatment, but the treatment ac-
corded Standing Bear was too much,
and even the stern warrior rebelled.
Campaign Mapped Out.
That night Crook came into Omaha
and had an all-night's conference with
Tibbles. then an editorial writer on a
newspaper. A campaign of Indians
rights was mapped out, and both men
started out the next day to carry out
their parts.
Crook was to delay returning the In
clans to Indian Territory until a writ
o! Eabeas corpus could be asked for
fioln the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
al persons born in the United States
equal protection of the law.
Tibbles looked out for the legal end
OF the deal. He went to John L. Web
ster, then a struggling. unknown young
lawyer, laid his case before him, and
asked him to defend the rights of the
Indian.
There is no money in it, but there
is fame, honor and glory" said Tib-
bies
Webster took the case, and asked

ODD EATING CUSTOMS.

Prazilians never eat when they
drink, nor drink when they eat: and
the Tartars continually persist In pull
ing a guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, so that none OF
their fellowmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show n mark
of great esteem, the negroes OF Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time. and the King OF Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
meal alone. Whenever Filipino
finds himself without companion
with whom to share his meal. he will
abstain from eating until he has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in Kam-
chtaka, where a man who wiches to
entertain n guest invites him into a
cabin, which. IS heated to an excessive
temperature. and then presses him
with food until he is In state of tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians. though a naturally
sociable race. dine separately. Even
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own food-basket. They take
their places about FIVE yards apart.

Duke of wellington,s Vanity.

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy, London, there are some
which could tell stories; some with
little touches of idiosyncrasies of sub
jects no less than OF painters. Is the
story OF Lawrence's portrait OF the
Duke OF Wellington commonly known? T?
The duke had only one vanity-his
wrist was like steel. Now, when he
was given the sword of state to carry
1t was his infinite delight that he was
able to carry it upright; all his prede-
cessors had to slope it toward the
shoulder. He would go down to pos
terity, he resolved, glorified by the
power of his wrist.
In vain Sir Thomas Lawrence point
cd out that, as matter OF art, 1t
would never do; that the sight OF a
man perennially carrying sword from
the wrist would fatigue those who
locked at his picture. The duke in
sisted upon having his way. Lawrence

The Cause of Nebraska Court Room
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
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.
Sohurz 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

hours in the delivering, occupying the

the third day Mr.. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-
ccedlngs the courtroom was packed
with the beauty and culture of the
city.
Towards the close of the trial the
situation became tense. AS the wrongs
inflicted on the Indians were described
by the attorneys indignation was often
a. d white heat, and the judge made no
attempt at suppressing the applause
which broke out from time to time.

Judge Dundy announced that Chief
Standing Bear would be allowed to
make a speech in his own behalf.
Not one in that audience besides
the army officers and Mr.. Tibbles had
chief. All of them had read of the elo-
quence of Red Jacket and Logan, and
they sat there wondering whether the
mild-looking old man, with the lines of
suffering and sorrow on his furrowed
brow and cheek, dressed in the full
robec OF an Indian chief, could make
a speech at all.
1T happened that there was a good
interpreter present-the son of Father
Hamilton, a well-known missionary.
Standing Bears Address.
Standing Bear arose. HaIf-facing
the audience he held out his right hand
and stood motionless so long that the
stiffness of death which had settled
down on the audience became almost
unbearable. At last, looking up at the
judge, he said:

Is OF the same color as yours. God

Still standing, half-facing the audi

window as if gazing upon something
far in the distance, and continued:
