1ndlan'o Part In the War.
Probably nothing 10 Of greater inter
ct in tho report than the chronicle
q the part the Indians played in the
war, and the benefit military service
has proved to them. So noteworthy
has this been that the heading given
10 this section Of tho report IL ''War
- q Civilizer." Probably nothing
more helpful has come to this ancient
race" It reads, than the enrolment
o4 10000 Of its sons simply a. Amefi-
can soldiers to challenge the barbarous
rule OF central Europe. The immedi-
Ats benefit comes from the equal op-
portunity they had with their white
se0rades for gaining knowledge. for
1aturing judgment, for developing
courage through contact with events
and conditions"
Numerous Indians won medals and
recognition for distinguished service
abroad. Their citations rank them
with the bravest of the brave. The
most striking is that Of Private Joseph
Oklahombi, full.blood Ch0ctaw, com
pany d. One Hundred and Forty-drst
tnfantry, Bismarck, Oklahoma. His e.
tation reads as follows:
.Under a violent barrage. Private
Ollahombi dashed to the attack Of an
enemy position, covering about 21O
yards through barbed-wire entangle-
meats. He rushed on machine gun
nests. capturing III prisoners. He
stormed strongly held position con-
tanning more than so machine guns and
4 number Of trench mortars. Turned
the captured guns on the enemy and
held the position four days In spite Of
i constant barrage Of large prOjectiles
and Of gas shells. Crossed No Mans
land many times to get Information
concerning the enemy, and to assist his
wounded comrades" +.-.
Progress In Education.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the matter Of education. The policy
Of encouraging Indian children to
attend the state public schools, the fed.
eral government paying the tuition
therefor, is growing in favor. Any
prejudice on the part Of white men,
hers Of the schools against the Indian
10 rapidly disappearing. The educa-
tipnal program that is now under
way is to provide for Indian children's
attendance at public schools wherever
the facilities are available and main
tain special reservation schools only
where the facilities are not adequate.
Industrial education Is receiving
large attention, an impetus having been
Oven It by the war. According to the
reports Of various superintendent, the
lndian soldiers hsve returned with a
greater self. confidence, an ambition to
eosnee In useful occupations and q
1Gsire to fulhll the obligations to
country by living up to all the require
usnts Of citizenship. Agriculture 10

toblished. Health conditions are re-
ported satisfactorily improved, with

of the schedule to the state utilities

He said, however, that the commits
sion did not think such a charge was
enough and had increased it to $1,00.
He called attention to the fact that
the commission had sole authority In
such matters. He said that the COM
mission based its action on the fact
that under the old rates the average
monthly household lighting bill APP
proximated 20 cents, and that under
the new rates the average household
bill would approximate $1.00.
Councilman Schneider stated that
the people living in the suburbs out
side the city were protesting over the
fact that under the new electric rates
they were compelled to pay more for
current than the residents of the city.
Mayor Zimmerman declared that
this was as it should be. He said the
plant primarily was for the benefit of
the taxpayers on the city, and he was
supported in his position by Superin-
tendent Dillon. The mayor even went

WEISHAUPT TAKES Won PENIS PLACE ON
COUNCIL: SPECIAL SESSION FOR THURSDAY

Alphonse Weishaupt, was elected
coun cil-man-at-large to succeed Matt
Won Pein, recently appointed member
of the board of public works, by the
members of city council. at meeting
Monday evening. Weishaupt's cleo
ton resulted on the sixth ballot when
he polled six of the IL votes.
The candidates for the position. in
addition to Weishaupt, were: J. Henry
Bode, James Reid, w. P. O'Neal and
John Dietz.
Reid was eliminated after the first
ballot, when he received one vote.
O'Neal was eliminated on the third
ballot. He received three votes on the
first ballot and one on the second.
On the fifth ballot Weishaupt polled
five votes, Bode three and Dietz three.
On the final ballot one of the Dietz
votes went to Bode and another Dietz
vote was given to Weishaupt, giving
him the required six. Weishaupt serv-
ed eight years in the city council He
is an employe of wholesale dry goods
concern.
Mayor Zimmerman Presides.
When council assembled Mayor
Zimmerman occupied the seat of the
presiding officer On his. desk was an
immense bouquet The mayor, who
relinquished his official duties five
weeks ago to enter a sanitarium at Ok
ford, O., appeared to be in good health.
He expressed to council his apprec-
iation of its recent action in granting
him a 80 days leave of absence, add
ing, however, that he was not reQuir-
ed to ask councils permission to take
a vacation, because he had been elect
ed by the people," but that he had
done so because he wanted to be re-
spectful to the legislative body.
The mayor said his condition was
now such that he did not believe it
would be necessary to leave the city
again, but in the event there was re-
lapse in his condition he probably
would again take advantage of the
remaining time on his leave of ob-
sence, and make a trip to Niagara
Falls, which he had contemplated be-
fore he had been injured by fall,
last month.
Says City is in Good Shape
Mayor Zimmerman explained to
council his desire for harmonious re-
lation with that body. He said there
was no cause, and never had been,
for concern over municipal affairs He
said the city government and the
municipal plant were DOtn In excel
lent condition.
Councilman A. j. Ford, called atten-
ton to the fact that it had been the
understanding of himself and other
members of council that under the new
rates for the municipal electric plant
the monthly minimum lighting charge,
for domestic consumers, was. to be in
creased from so to Is cents and he
voiced establishment that $1.00 a

ed and received first reading. Briefly

away with it would cost the MAYOR
