Order Issued by Carl SchurZ, While Secretary of the Int iOr,
Brought L0ng-Standing Trouble to a Crisis.
SPLENDID GRAFTON MADE BY INDIAN CHIEF
ElOQuence of Standing Bear, Pleading for His Own and His Peoples Rights
rae Cause Of An Ovation in Crowded Nebraska Court Room
Judge DundyS Famous Dec sion.

Onaha.-The late Carl Schurz is best
remembered in Omaha as the cause OF
the American Indians being admitted
to lulI citizenship in this cOunlry-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 THAI a cru
saue 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 a 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
Amy, and Immediately the cause Of
the Indian was taken up by Thomas
II. Tibbles, late vice presidential can
6idate 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
eJ 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 prairies
Of Nebraska. There were 80 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;
tie famous POnCa Indian chief, Stand
ing Bear, a few years later to be the
bast-knOwn Indian in the entire world
-dnd 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

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 n in Nebraska and
many from the big eastern cities; bust
ness men, Gen. Crook and his full staff,
in their dress uniforms (this was n
ut the few times in his life that Crook
wore his full dress in public, and the
Indians themselves, in their gaudy COL
Ors. The courtroom was a galaxy Of
b%rilliancy.
"On n 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

Far back in the audience, shrink
ing from observation, was an lndian
girl who afterward became famous as
a lecturer in England and America.
She was later known on both CONT
nents by a translation of her Indian
name, In-sta-the-am-ba, Bright Eyes.
Long and Able Arguments
Attorney Poppleton's argument was
carefully prepared, and consumed 16
hours in the delivering, occupying the
attention Of the court for two days. On
the third day MI. Webster spoke for
six hours. And during all the pro-
ccedIngs 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
u the attorneys indignation was often
az d white heat, and the judge made no
attempt at suppressing the applause
which broke out from time to time.
For the department Mr.. Lambert
son made a short address, but was lis
tened to in silence.
1T was late in the afternoon when
the trial drew to a close. The excite
Iuent had been increasing, but it
reached a height not before felt when
Judge Dundy announced hat 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
ever heard an Grafton by an Indian
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 turrowed
brow and cheek, dressed in the full

roles 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. Half-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:
THAT hand is not the color of
yours, but if l prick it, the blood will
flow and shall feel pain. The blood
is OF the same color as yours. God
made me, and | am a man. | never
committed a crime. If l had, l would
not stand here to make a defense. l
would suffer the punishment and make
no complaint
Still standing, half-facing the audi
ence, he looked past the judge out of a
window as if gazing upon something
far in the distance, and continued:

COWS N cows.
One Animal Differs from Another and
Must Be Fed and Managed
Accordingly.

A good COW in good condition may
eat my ration as given and make one
and a half or two pounds of butter fat
per day. Another cow in good condi-
ton will eat and digest the same
amount of feed and make but a pound
Of ~butter-how about her in relation
to her feed? This is the problem a
Pennsylvania farmer is seeking to
solve, and in reply to his question the
Ohio Farmer says: That does not dis
prove that the possible milk producing
elements were in her ration, for on a
similar ration the other COW made the
greater returns. 1t is not in the feed.
1t is in the cow, and if she will keep
on doing her daily n pound task for
about 800 days she is meeting her OBJ
legations even to the extent of being
conspicuous in such modest perform
ance; but the other cow is a very much
better cow.
Again, there is a good conditioned
cow that on such a ration makes only
half a pound Of butter a day, what
shall we say of her? She Is a fraud,
a hanger on, an absorber of the sweat
of the outside Of the dairyman's brow
because he doesn't sweat a little more
on the inside of it. Such a cow
should be stuffed with nubbins and
other cheap feeds and moved on to the
butcher.
The government is going to embark
in the production of these general pur-
pose animals; these misfits nf the live
stock industry, we are told, as If we
didn't already have them in herds and
droves. We dairymen may not always
know what we want but there are
many simple things we know we don't

ana meat in plenty; come live with
US" said Iron Eye.
But the government, through Schurz,
sdld 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-
yiduaI story. The great Indian fighter
knew the general history Of the In
dams 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 a"Il-night's conference with
TibbIes, 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
dams to Indian Territory until a writ
Of kabeas corpus could be asked for
from the United States court on the
ground that the constitution, in the
fourteenth amendment, guaranteed to
all 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 lib
b!es.
Webster took the case, and asked
Judge A. J. Poppleton, then general
counsel for the Union Pacific, TO assist
him and make the argument. Popple-
ton agreed, and then a writ was ap-
piled for in the United States court at
Omaha, over which Judge Dundy pre-
sided.
Made Thousands of Citizens.
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 100, 900 peo-
pie were made citizens.
Thomas II. Tibbles attended every
session Of that court. In his own
words he describes it this way:

ern Nebraska, along the Niobrara riv-
er. They had fought the Sioux, in be-
half of the white men, for years, and
had lost TOO braves in the white mans
behalf. For this a previous secretary
of the interior had given them, in fee
simple, full title to their reservation
and lands.
Lands Taken from Poncas.
Then Mr.. SChurz was made secre-
tary, and at the point of the bayohet
had driven the Poncas down into In
dian Territory, depriVing them of the
lands for which they held government
deeds. The Poncas were left months
without rations in the new country,
and more than one-third of them died
while there.
And among those who died was the
sol Of the old chief, Standing Bear.
The chief refused to have the little
body buried in the strange country,
but instead, gathering a few members
of his tribe, he started for the ancient
hunting grounds of his tribe, intend
Ing to bury the child where genera
lions OF Ponca chiefs lay.
SchurZ heard of the runaways, 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 sf the Omahas, Iron
Eye, went to meet the Poncas and of.
fered them a haven of refuge on the
Omaha reservation.

Cattle and Fresh Paint.

Cattle should never have access to
fresh paint containing lead. Aside
from marring the artistic effect, they
may lick off enough to cause death.
We have known several cases OF this
kind. In one instance, related by the
Rural New Yorker, while the COWS
were being driven from pasture at
night they passed a newly painted
building. One shifted at the white
paint on the corner, and before the
driver could scare her away she had
lapped 1t several times. She died a

Conveniently arranged on either side
are the troughs, and back of these is
the feeding floor slanting to the rear
Of the pen. On a raised platform in
the rear is the sleeping place for the
hogs. The floors are supposed to be
made of cement, so laid that all water
will tend to run to the rear and to

real drainage, and as the water must

there is reason to believe that this
