his business, eyes were upon him; mis-
credit was in danger-that is, his life
was in danger. And the old priests
were as ardent as the young ones; the
million was as eager to be bigger as
the thousand; seventy was as busy as
seventeen. They strove nightly
against one another, and the old priests
were the most wary, the most plaus
ible and the most dangerous. Bibbs
learned he must walk charity among
these-he must wear a thousand eyes
and beware of spiders indeed
And outside the temple itself were
the pretenders, the swarming thieves
and sharpers and feecers, the sly ras-
Gals and the open rascals; but these
were feeble folk, not dangerous once
he knew them, and he had a good guide
to point them out to him. They were
useful sometimes, he learned, and
many of them served as gO-betweens
in matters where business must touch
politics. He learned also how brew
cries and TRACTION" companies and
banks and other institutions fought
one another for the political control Of
the city. The newspapers, he discOv-
cred, had lost their ancient political in
1uence. especially with the knowing
who looked upon them with a skep-
teal humor, believing the journals
either to be retained partisans. like
lawyers. or else striving to forward
the personal ambitions of their owners
The control of the city lay not with
them, but was usually obtained by Civ

and by other largesses. The revenues
of the people were then distributed as
fairly as possible among a great num-
Der of men who had assisted the win
ming side. Names and titles of of
fees went with many of the prizes,
and most of these title holders were
expected to present busy appearance
at times; and. indeed. some among
them did work honestly and faithfully.
Bibbs had been very ignorant. All
these simple things, so well known and
customary, astonished him at first, and
once-in brief moment of forgetting
that he was done with writing-he
thought that If he had known them
and written of them. how like a satire
the plainest relation Of them must

being themselves the people thus cele-
brated. And If the thing was ques-
toned, or if it was limited that there
might be one small virtue in which
they were not perfect and supreme,
they wasted no time examining them
selves to see if what the critic said
was true but fell upon him and boot
ed him and cursed him, for they were
sensitive. So Bibbs, learning their
ways and walking with them, heark-
ened to the voice of the people and
served Bigness with them. For the
voice of the people is the voice of their
god.
Sheridan had made the room next
TO his own into an Office for Bibbs, and
the door between the two rooms usu-
ally stood open-the father had estab-
lished that intimacy. One morning in
February, when Bibbs was alone, Sher-
idan came in, some sheets Of typewrit-
ten memoranda in his hand.

U. s. Supreme Court
Reverses Itself

An unique court decision, one in
which the United States supreme
court has flatly reversed itself, is re-
vealed in that tribunals decision in
the case of United States against
Fred Nice, the syllabus of which has
just been received here. This deci-
sion holds that an Indian is not a
citizen even though he holds an al
lotment of land and that, therefore,
sale of liquor to such an Indian is a
violation of the law.
In the Heff case, decided April 10,
1905, the court held that sale of liquor
to an Indian holding land was not a
violation of the law, because the In
dian became a citizen when he got
the land.
Since the first decision congress
passed the Bourke act, providing that
in all allotments of land to Indians
the government held the land in trust
and was the guardian of the Indians.

ROURKES CAPTURE
GAME FROM SIOUX
Indians outplayed at ALI Stages
Of Play by Gate City
Team.
o'TooLE TO THE RESCUE

Sioux City. la, June 2o.--(Special
Telegram. 1.-The Rourkes had little
trouble defeating the Indians in the
first game Of the series, winning, 7 to
?. Clean hitting was largely respon-
sible for the victory. In the early
stages Of the battle the visitors were
in danger when Bruck weakened.
Marty O'Toolc, however was substi-
tuted and the Sioux were helpless.
The Rourkes cinched the game in
the fourth, when they hoped to
Schardt for four blows, two being
doubles. This fusillade caused
Schardt's retirement and Clark stop
ped the rally. Doubles by Miller and
Kilduff and singles by Forsythe and
Krause, aided by wild peg to third
by Livingston, gave Omaha three
scores.
The Braves chances went glimmer-
ing in the eighth, when Miller again
led off with two-bagger and scored
on a hit by Forsythe. Kilduff singled,
sending Forsythe to third. from which
station he scored on an attempt to
catch Kilduf off first. The run in the
first was made by Krug, who singled,
stole second and scored on Thomp-
sons double.

Only Twenty-Seven Men Face

New York, June 29.-The Phila-
delphia champions checked their
slump today, when after suffering five
straight defeats, they won both sec
tons of double header from New
York, 4 to 0 and to 2. In the first
game, Pixey pitched remarkably, as
only twenty-seven Giants faced him.
New York made four hits off him,
but three were followed by double
plays.
In the second game the veteran
Chief Bender, hero of five worlds
series victories over the Giants,
showed flash of his old-time form
and held the Giants to seven scat
tered hits. Bancroft virtually won the
game for the league champions in
the second inning, when he hit a
home run with two on bases. Lud-
erus made seven hits in seven official
times at bat in this series before he
flied out to Burns in the third in

Gil Bluffs who refused to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States
government when called upon to be
sworn into the regular army at Des

Their uniforms .have been stripped
from them. and clad in secondhand

about the camp by their )eering fell
lows, one report stating that yellow
stripes had been painted down the
backs of their shirts and their spines,
stained with iodine. In this condition
they were to be sent home.
Following is the oath they were
asked to take:

Kicks White Racer
In Burnasco Window

will drive in the annual Omaha speed
way race July Is was placed in one
Of the Burgess-Nash company's dis.
play windows, and practically all
morning the walk in front of the win
dow was blocked with persons who
stopped to admire the powerful ma
chine.
Rickenbacher's boat is one Of the
nattiest racing cars in the country
and made most striking effect in the
window. 1t is pure white, with red
trimming. A big tail, hiding the
huge gasoline tanks to the rear, adds
TO the rakish appearance, as do the
low-hung seats for the driver and
mechanician, and everybody who saw
the car agreed il looks fully capable
Of beating 100 miles an hour to
death.
