Valuable Relic for Historical Society.

Valuable Relic for Historical Society.
One OF the five living Civil War vet
Grams in the Omaha tribe Of Indians
in Nebraska, Henry Blackbird, has
given to the state historical society
museum an object greatly reverenced
by his people, symbol which has
hecn used to secure peace for the
Omaha tribe with unrelated groups
many scores Of times. The value OF
this gift Is greatly enhanced by the
fact that on but very rare occasions
will an Indian part from one OF these
treasured relics OF past days. 1t
seems simple enough looking affair
on a cursory glance, composed OF
pipe stem on which Is mounted pro-
miscuous collection OF feathers OF
gaudy color in fantastic design: But
when its construction, with the mean
ing of each detail. Is explained by
Melvin r. Gilmore.( curator OF the
museum, it becomes q fascinating
curio. This object was used in
peace ceremony called "Wa-wa,"
meaning ITO sing for some one." 1t Is
said to be the most persistent OF cere-
monies still used by Indians after
others have decayed. The Pawnees
have brought 1t twice to the Omahas
on the Nebraska reservation.

A HUMAN FIEND

Tbs discovery at the fire last
Thursday night, which destroyed the
town Jail, that the fire hose had been
cut again, brings the matter of fire
protection to town property again
before the people in its most serious
form.
No effort should be spared to find
the miscresnt who cut the fire hose,
and when he has been caught, he
should get the full extent of the law.

Pile to realize that such a fiend lives
