New York, Nov 15.-The whoops
of Glacier Park Blackfoot Indians
mingled with the cheers of richly
gowned women last evening in
Louis Martins restaurant, at Forty
second street and Broadway. The
Indians, their faces painted in war
colors, whirled madly in their war
dance for the entertainment of their
hosts and many other diners, in
Guiding Uncle Joe" Cannon, for
merly speaker of the house of rep

strangely contrasted picture as the
Indians, in their moccasins, war
feathers and suits of animal skin,
whirled wildly, uttering whoops
that could be heard block away.
One woman, in the interruption of
the war dance, asked Spotted Eagle
why he painted his face, and he re-
piled, Like Woman"
The Indians were the guests of
Hoke Smith, who gave an after
theater supper in honor of Howard

Indians who dined and danced, be-

SPLIT
ON PLATFORM

FREMONT, Neb., July 25-After
several conferences lasting until late
hour last night, there was evidence
that rival factions of the Democratic
party in Nebraska were anything but
united SO far as concerns the platform
to be adopted at tomorrow's conven-
ton.
The point at issue was the demand
of VIM. J. Bryan's friends for repre-
sentation on the resolutions committee
and their desire that the platform con-
tain a commentator of the thrice
Democratic presidential candidate.
While every leader was talking har-
mony, it was apparent that the matter
was in no wise settled. In fact several
men who have been most persistent
in their declarations for peace readily
admitted that the prospect for it was
further away at midnight than at any
time since the arrival of the vanguard
today.
Those who have used their utmost
efforts to eliminate the trouble tonight
predict that unless Bryan's supporters
permitted the plans mapped out by the
party leaders to go through, split
might occur tomorrow.

FARGO, N. D., July 25-Earle
Yoder, aged 20 years, in the employ
of the Great Northern Express Co. i,
for the last two months, was held up
b. two unknown men early yesterday
morning on Fourth street north, near
the water tank, and relieved of a
gold watch and $l4 in cash, which he
had on his person.
Yoder was going home shortly after
midnight, when the robbery occurred.
He said he was halted by two men,
relieved of his watch and change and
then allowed to proceed home, at 523
Third street north. He Immediately
notified the police department.
The young man was unable to give
a very accurate description of the two
men, as he stated that it was very
dark and he could not distinguish any
thing particularly about either of them.
When asked if they were armed or
masked, he said neither wore masks,
though it was too dark for him to
get a good look at either man.

DECLINE OF SHEEP INDUSTRY.

North Dakota sheep growers have
become less in number and the focks
have decreased third throughout the
state during the past ten years. Dur
ing most of the time prices have been
fair to good and in several years ex-
tremely high. Sheep naturally do we'll
in North Dakota with proper care dur
ing che winter months, yet, with mil
lions of acres of good pasturage 60
ing to waste, the farmers of North
Dakota raise very few sheep. The
government statistics regarding sheep
reported for 1910, give the total num-
Der of sheep and lambs in that year
in the state as 2S9, 1854. Of these, 1885,
1872 were mature ewes born before
1910. and their total value was 1892,
ONO or an average of $496. This total
value was nearly three fourths of the
total value of all sheep and lambs.
Rams and wethers numbered 81 1923,
and the average value was &.52.
Spring lambs were 81 $40 in number
and their average value was given as
$l.9l. The number of spring lambs
was 28l per cent of the number of
ewes.
