This information was receiv- ed by Superintendent Brennan of the Pine Ridge Indian Agency, who is in Washington attending the meeting of those interested in the education of of the Indian. Red Cloud was 86 years old, and for the last twenty-five years had lived at Pine Ridge Agency. Chief Red Cloud first became known as an important personage in Indian affairs in the summer of 1865, at which time he became sub-Chief of the Brule-Sioux tribe. His tribal ter. ritory extended from the North Platte River to the Big Horn Mountains and west to the Black Hills. He was known as a hostile and caused con- tinuous trouble by his forays against small military posts, stealing Govern~ ment live stock and attacking immi- grant trains.” He was the compatriot of such Chiefs as Spotted Tail, Stand- ing Elk, American Horse, Man-Afraid- of-His-Horse and Big Ribs. Early in 1866 Red Cloud dropped Big Ribs, his head Chief, on account of age, and extended his own domin- ion over the Gallala Sioux, and rep- sight testing of any kind is at ali|resented practically all divisions of necessary to fit even the very weakect |the Sioux tribe in the treaty meeting eyes. ~~ held at Fort Laramie. The question at issue at this convention was the building of the Union Pacific through the Sioux territory. ' Red Cloud’s following of 5,000 hos- , | tile Indians accompanied him to Lar- amie. It was agreed that the rail- road should pass up the Platte valley, but Red Cloud and his braves oppos- ed the opening of the ‘Bozeman trail,’’ extending northwest from Laramie, which was the ideal hunting grounds of the Sioux. While the trea- ty meeting was in session two regi- ments of regulars arrived, and with- out awaiting the result of the meet- ing, occupied the Bozeman trail. In defiance of Red Cloud’s remon- strance the expedition marched through the Sioux country. “Red Cloud rose from the conven- tion and, declaring the white people had betrayed him, said: “You may take my country, but I will mark every mile of your road from North Platte to the Yellowstone with the dead bodies of your sol- diers.”” When the wily chief and his fol- lowers left Laramie they took the pre- caution to drive off several. hundred cattle, horses and mules belonging to the Government. He then organized the Sionx forces over a wide territory and began a war, which had its cli- max in August, 1867, when with his braves, he received a crushing blow from the Eighteenth Infantry.

Washington, Dec. 13.—Conclusive evidence is said to have been obtain- | ed by the military court of inquiry in- to the “shooting up” of Brownsville, Texas, that members of the Twenty- fifth Infantry, a negro regiment, who were within the fort, fired on the! town at the time their companions were racing through the streets, shooting right and left. In the riot at Brownsville the night of August 13, 1906, one civilian was killed and several wounded. riot 167 soldiers were discharged up- on their failure to tell who did the shooting. None of the members of the court of inquiry would discuss the matter, but it is intimated that a demand for the abolition of the negro troops, which are¥provided for by law, will be madeiby the Southern delegations in congress. Thus the bitter debate that marked the final days of the Roosevelt administration threatens to be renewed. Officers of thecourt, it is reported, examined buildings across the road from the fort in Brownsville. Continuing their investigations they found the bullets which were of the regulation Army design. Following back the line oftfire, as shown by the track of the}.bullet, the marksman could have been nowhere else than within the barracks. The congressional defenders of the negro infantrymen held that the only firing in the town was done by men of the Twenty-fifth who’ had broken parole, andstthat ex-President Roose- velt, in 'discharging two companies with individual military trials, had Following the | WOMEN’S PECU- | LIAR FANCIES} Vanity the Cause of Personal Adornment. Says Edward Ross. From the St, Louls Republic. Women are gradually becoming civilized. The process has been go- ing on for many thousands of years, and perhaps ina few more thous- ands, the fair sex will leave off the ornamentation of savagery and ap- is a digest of the belief of Prof. Ed- ward A. Ross of the University of Wisconsin, who spoke before the St. Louis Society of Pedagogy in the Cen- tral High School Auditorium on the “Curiosities and Follies of Fashion.”” In accouniting for the peculiar fan- cies of women, evidenced in their personal adornment, Professor Ross ran the entire gamut of styles of vari- ous peoples from the naked lip-punc- tured and ear-split specimens on ob- scure islands to the present-day woman, ‘ Vanity, the desire to be more at- | tractive than you really are, is the cause of personal ornamentation with all its variations of grotesque fash- ions. Since time immemorial wom- en vied with each other to be the chief attraction, especially to the male sex. “Animals have never been knowu to ornament themselves; perhaps it is not a matter of brains which makes them refrain; it doesn’t take much brains to be vain. The various changes in fashion, the great balloon | like hoops, the bustle, the high hat, | then the small compact figure, hair | close to the head, straight figure. All these modes illustrate the attempts of | the parvenu to distinguish herself from her poorer sisters. The mo- }ment hoi polloi fallin line and the} | shop girl wears the styles adopted by the exclusive set, the exclusive set at once changes the styles. She must be distinguished from the common herd, “Style is the only asset of the new- ly rich. It costs money to adorn | oneself in a variety of costumes. The common people must know the wom- an of wealth; realize she has money, and therefore, must spend lavishly to prove—what? Nothing but that she jhas money. And then, the foolish poor girl must follow the instinct of jages of savages; she must imitate the exclusive set at any cost, and when she does this, alas, the styles change.
