Wholesale Marriage of Winnie

Government Order.

WALTON. NEBR.. June 2S.-The Win

Used a big powwow, i'm which every
Indian buck was to be married to
one squaw according to the white
mans laws. and now the Govern
ment has held up this order, and the
great marriage ceremony, which was
to join every brave to a squaW. and
incidentally rid the brave of any SUI
peTfluOus squaws he may have aCCu-
INFLATED, is not to be performed un-
til the arrival of the new Indian
agent.
The Winnebagoes had sent invita-
tions to all their friends in Okla
homa, South Dakota and Montana,
and they were expecting gifts in such
quantities as were never before Law
ished upon an Indian tribe. But they
have been forced to cancel these invi-
tations and TO fOrego the wedding
presents for the time being
No Swapping of Squaws.
And what is equally bad is an
order which has gone forth from the
Government authorities: There shall
be no more swapping of wives by the
Indian bucks. Every man must con-
tinue with the partner with whom he
is now living. And when the time of
the big wedding comes around, every
Indian must get married to his pres
ent squaw.
The Winnebagoes were not ready
for this. The big wedding was not
scheduled for a month yet and many
of the bucks intended swapping or
selling their present squaws and taxi
ing new ones.
Marriage Laws Lax.
WinnebagO tribal laws concerning
marriage and divorce We're rather
lax, to say the least Marriage con-
sisted in securing the consent Of the
squaw to come over to the home of
the buck and live. And divorce was
consummated when the buck kicked
his squaw out of the house and went
out to find "A new one, or when the
squaw got tired of her husband and
left him to take up her abode with
some other red man.
According to Indian officials, very
few Of the Winnebago women had
been married" less than a dozen
times. and some boosted Of having
had as many as twenty husbands"
And many Of the bucks said they had
been married" as high as fifty times
and no one denied il.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Repre-
sentative Goodwin Of Arkansas Ia =
risen to dispute the wisdom of Sec
rotary OF State William ]. BRYAN.
though Representative Goodwin is a
democrat and has cast his free and
untrammeled ballot some several
times for the Nebraskan for Presi-
dent.
But when he read that the Secro-
tary OF State had declared that the
United States Navy is useless and the
army nearly so, he rose to protest
The navy can be useful, he insists. 1t

ing exposition of the products If
American farms and factories and

Nations to See Show.
Upon this theory Representative
Goodwin got to work. If his enthu-
slasm should sweep Congress off its
feet, England, France Germany, ia
pan and the Latin-American repub-
lies will be edited by the sight of
piles of Iowa pumpkins in the maya
zines of Uncle Sans battleships in
stead Of 14-inch shells.
When a battleship is dressed. in
stead Of flags flying from the twisted
iron mastheads and lookout towers.
there will be suspended from stem to
stern strings of shoes from the Mas

belt, just above the water line, will
be painted in large white letters.

Corporation"
Instead of smokeless powder and
torpedoes, the battleships will be
equipped with wheat and flour from
Minnesota and Wisconsin. and corn
meal from the corn belt"
From Admiral Dewey down the line
to the youngest midshipman the Off
GERS will be sent to special business
schools which Uncle Sam will have t.
open. Enlisted men, in addition TO
their other duties will take courses
in the practice of the warehOusemen.
Then, after having sufficient knoWl-
edge in the premises Uncle Sam will
become an efficient travelling sales
man, visiting every port in the world
and exploiting American merchan-
disc, commodities and staples.
Asks Redfield for Figures.
AS Mr. Goodwin put It:
Il see no reason why the American
Navy should not be put to good use.
Opposed to senseless multiplication of
useless battleships, I can see no rea-
son why those we have built at go
great expense should not be used in
advancing trade before they rot and
become junk"
Mr.. Goodwin proposed to direct
Secretary Daniels Of the Navy De-
partment to report within 60 days to
Secretary Redfeld the extent and
character of all space on all ships Of
the United States Navy which might
reasonably be temporarily used for
the purpose Of exhibiting American
manufactured articles and other ar
ticles of commerce" lie proposes
that the Secretary of Commerce shall
allot space on American ships 10
American manufacturers, merchants,
exporters, boards Of trade or other
commercial organizations for use in
exhibiting their wares.

of her journey blessing all who came
near her with a smile that arises only
from a beautiful soul.
And after all the final test of a

with. Be it absent or grave or i'm
