Noted Organizers. § The success of all bomeficiary orders de- pends largely upon the energy of the deputy baving it in charge. He must bea gentle. wan of peculiur traits and special qualities; @ uinn of business, energy and ability. Among the names of nojed organizers are found those of Upchureh, the founder of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, which now has more than 200,00 members, will go down to posterity reverenced by thousands of familics that have received substantial aid whon the husband and father has been removed frgm them by death. D. Wilson, of Boston, has acquired an almost national roputation as au erder organizer. He not only knows how to found an order, but how t0 build it up and_extend it over the country after he has founded it. The name of D. Wilson will go down in history as that of the founder of the Knights of Honor. also the saviour of the Royal Good Fellows, which was founded by Jaimes G, Whitehouse at Providence, R. 1. ‘The manner in which Mr, Wilson revived the order of Good Fellows is of interest. His first movement to revive the dyingorder was to organize a mammoth lodge at Providence, the home of the institution. te went to Providence, and in several months had ob. tained more than twelve hundred charter signers, of which 930 odd were accepted and became members of the biggest lodge ever formed in the United States. The first and direct object in forming so large a lodge was to aavertise the Good Fellows and set every. body throughout New Enzland talking about the order. From that time the Good Fellows have grown to a membership of more than fifteen thousand During the last three years the name of W A.

In the list of representatives who voted in the negative on the test vote i the K. of P. difficulty in Peunsylvania, will be found the names of somo of the ablest and brightest men in the order in that state, says the Knight editorially, who contested cvery inch of ground in the three day's bebu made it rather lively for their opponents— from a parliamentary standpoint. When the vote wus finally reached, and they found themselves fairly and honorably defeated, they yiclded gracefully, and even made overtures for a basis of reconcilation, de- claring through Representative Payson, for wnstance, that they were not opposed to the correction of the laws if lvwas done in what they considered the legal way. Further than this, we have just received a copy of a resolution which one of the most pronounced opponents of the supreme lodge, up to that time, was about to offer just before the final adjournment, but he could not obtain the floor in time: Resolved, That this grand lodge is con- vinced of the illegality and untenableuness of its previously declared position, now agrees to be governed by laws of the supreme lodge Knights of Pythias of the world, and will recognize it as'the source of ali Pythian law and authority. Such a resolution, offered in gooa faith by the late opposition, and adopted by the grand lodge before adjourning, would @ still more strongly emphasized the general desire for peace and harmony by udding to it the open expression of those who were previously recorded as against a peaceful settlement of the difiiculty. 2 A Worthy Gift. Brooklyn Review: Hon. Joseph F rwell, a benevoient and weatthy member of the I. O, O. ¥, has presented to the Grand lodge of Maine, for an Odd Fellows' home, a farm of , together with s buildings to be found in The premises a was the homest » bost set of farm the town of Unity. alued at $12,000. The farm ad of Brother Farwell's father, and has been in the ‘amily for over a hundred years. The farm has forty wcres of wood land,some in its native state of growth. Recently the buildings bave been remodcled at the expense of over §,000. The houso is modernized and very handsome. It has a mansard roof, skted. two bay windows and several dormer windows in the roof. Above tho hou: is an cxcellent spring, which gives a stream of beautiful spring water all over the house. The build- ings contain sixteem roows. Opposite are two large barns and several outbuildings, which iv themselves make quite a village. In making the gift Brother Farwell says: “I bave money enouxh for all my wants,” my wife is dead, I ha but one-child, an in. valid son, am getting old and do not want the care of the place. m_ready to give a warrantee deed of the premises to the Odd Fellows, and only ask three conditions. One is that the place shall forever bear my name, the Farwell Odd Fellows home; second, that it shal! be held forever for beuevolent pur- poses; and third, that the little cometery on the premiscs, where lies the remaius of my aged father and mother and my wife, sball be kept in good condition.” A The Charier Arrested. Some time previous to the last Grand Lodge session, says a writer in the Pythian Knight, the charter and property of Ger- mania Lodge No. 6, of St. Louis, Mo., were arrested by order of the grand chancellor. 1t seemed that No. 6. ignored the repeated protests of Damon Lodge No. 25, against the admission of one Joun D. Camp, who is a ceper of said city, and who, Damon lodge claims, also keeps a disorderly house, and 1s, consequently, not of good moral char- acter. The law in this grand jurisdiction requires that where two or more lodges are located in a city, notice must be sent to the said loOges of all applications received for membership within twenty-four hours from the recoipt of suca applica- tion, and also that one wcek must elapse waon the conferring of ranks and two wecks betwoea. the application for meabership and the conferring of the rank order men in all the | ] TotheE | of page. The first protest of Dumon lodge of Camp's admission was not even read by the keeper of records and seals of Germanin lodge until Camp was elected, notwithstand- ing that a_committee was present from the former lodge and requestea that the protest be read previous to balloting, The C. C, ruled that all communications should be read under the proper orde At the next con- vention Germania lodge formed itself 1to a committee of the whole to investigate John D. Camp, and at the following conventjon r ported that *“it appeared very much a picce of personal malice against Camp on the part of one or two members of Damon lodge.” Damon filed its socond protest on the ground that Camp was not of good moral _character. It was read, and a motion that “Pagc Camp be uot allo A'to proceed furthel as de- feated, and he was at once made an_esquire.

Masonic I tor of Tue Bee: I sce in are cent issue of your paper a statement that St Mary's Freemason lodge of Edinburgh is the oldest knowa lodge,in the world with preserved records. That muat be a mistake, as St. Mary's Chapel stands only Ne. 1on the grand lodze of Scotland voll, whereas Mother Kilwiuning is No. 0 on that roll an acknowledged by all Freemasons to be the oldest working lodge in Scotland, if not in the world At the reformation in Scotland in the six- teenth century, when the religious houses were destroycd, the minutes of Mother Kil- winning were carried to Rome. In the papal archives of that city they are still preserved. Mother Kilwinning would never been allowed 10 hold the position she does on th grand lodge rolls unless she had conclusive proof thut she was entitled to.t. She also enjoys privileges which no other lodge in Scotland holds, one of which is that the brothers elected by the bretiren of Mother Kilwinning as their R. W. M. becomes by right of that office the grand master of th province of Ayrs, the largest masonic province in Scotland. In the other provinces they are clected annually by the ofice- bearers of that district.

LOSS OF THE HUNTING GROUNDS Trouble Between the Whites and Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse —Scalps and the Scalp Dance. A Sioux Chief’s Story. Tn reply to questions put by a Post- Dispateh correspondent, Red Shirt said his Indian name was Ok-le-sa; that ho wats forty and had been a ch ven When one years ibe el years, aske »out the traditions of the Sioux he gave :{ outline of his tribe history Lwas interproted as fol- lo Ihe old m told mo that many years ago the Lacotas (Sioux) lived here by the sic of tho great waters. They fought with other tribes who had many lodres unl groat war- riors, and long, loung before the white men came thoy were driven toward the setting sun and'made their homes be- yond the Smoky Water (Mississ viver). How long ago this was I do not know: but [ know it men have told ma» so white men came intoour country., They hunted baffalo and & lantelope upon the plains. They came into the camps of the Lacotas and slept in their tepees. They were well tr 1, for th true, for the old After a while the were welcome. By and by more white men came, and then they eame thick. They took the Lacotas’ land and drove them from their huuting grounds. Then the hearts of the Lacotas got bad, for their brains were troubled. They thought everything would be taken from them, and their hearts were broken. They thought no land would be left for them to live upon, so they began to fight. They took white men's scalps und the white men’s tepees, and scalped their women and children. They fought many years, but the white men were too strong. If one Indian got killed no Indian came in his place, but the white men grew thicker all the time. The Lacotas had no hope left, so they b to quit fighting and submit to the whites, Theve will be no more wars between the white menand the Lacotas, for the white men are many and the Lacotas few."” Red Shirt then related how the trou- ble began between the whites and his uncle, the noted Sioux chief, Young- Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses. He said that about th five years ago an emi- grant train was cros: short distance from Fort Laramie. One of their steers became lame, and it was left behind on the trail. In a short g the plaing a while a Sioux hunting party came upon the abandoned stesr and Killed it. ew \ys afterward a company of sol- rs from Fort Laramie came to the Sioux camp on the North Platte to ar- rest the Indians who had killed the steor, The trib refused to surrender them, but offered 1o pay for the steer. A long wrangle followed, and finally the off cer in command of the troops made an attempt to forcibly take the Indiaus whom he wanted. Hecharged upon the village: but had miscalculated the strength of the Siwoux, for there were many lodges behind a hill close by which” he had not seen. The TIndians fell upon the troops on every side, and the entire company of thirty-two men wer killed and scalped.” The great Sioux chief, Con- quering Bear, was killed in the fight, and the interpreter, a Frenchman, was also killed. That night the Indians had a big scalp dan and a long bloody war followed. Red Shirt boy at the tima of this mas was an eye witness to the Red Shirt nc was . but he ervible fight. xt told some of his per- sonal expericnces while on the war path, and spoke of the men he had killed with as much apparent satisfa tion as a hunter would exhibit in relat- ing his exploits. His first fight with the whites was twenty-live years ago, and this was his version how the trouble came about. A band of Cheyennes attacked an em- igrant train and, after killing all the men, od d off a white woman captive. In their wanderings over the plains they met a party of Sioux, to whom the woman was sold, the chiefs, Two Face and Black Feet paying two horsas for he Afterward a detachment of sol- diers from Fort Laramie came upon the Sioux band, and, finding the womun in their possession. accused them of mur- dering the emigrants and carrying off the woman, Two Face and Black Feet were trice and hanged at Fort Laramie, and thd balance of the band to which they be- longed were ordered to remove east of the Missouri river. They started ouy under guard of two companies of sol- diers, and got asfar as the juncticn of Horse ercck and the North Platte be- fore any trouble occurred. Here some of the Indians who were in irons com- I.luin.-d of being tired, and that their egs were swollen from the chafing of the iron bands, They asked to be allowed to ride in one of the wagons, but their request was refused. Then all of the Indians got angry and secretly concocted & plan to turn upon their guards at an unex- pected moment, Just as the troops were prepar 12 to break camp on the following morning the Indians at- tacked them. Ih-‘wl Shirt killed the commandant of the detachment, and this wus the signal for a general as- sault. The soldiers were completely taken by surprise, and five olithaie number killed in the fivst charg The oth by jumping in the ri nd swimming ac Two men were killed in the er as they were trying to escape. After this fight the entire band of Sioux went on the warpath, and it was many months be- fore they surrendered, Red Shirt says he has made but one attack upon a wagon train. This oc- curred at Pole ¢ k in Montana, about nincteen yeurs ago. A party of five men, with three teams, were pushing their way through the hostile country, when they w discovered by Red Shirt's band, The Indians bore down oun them, and, after their usual fashion, yan to circle around to draw their fire. The doomed men abandoned their teams and attempted to run to a high hill, which was close by, but they were all shot down before they could reach the cover they were making for. Red Shirt thinks the men were not exper- ienced in Indian warfare or they would have kept under cover of their wagons instead of trying to reach the h he usually solemn looking chief smiled, as he related the ease the Indians had in shooting down the men as they ran. The dead men were scalped, the w s destroyed and the mules dviven of Red Shirt has been s 1l bloody battles between his own tribe and the Omahas on the upper Missouri vi and he thinks they ave better fighte than the white mwen. In speaking of fizhters among his own people, he suys that Crazy Hovse was the bravest man he ever saw. He never went into | battle without taking a scaip, and dur- Uing his life killed move than sixty men with his own hands. When asked about his own deeds,Red Shirt scemed ashamed to admit that he had no greater number of dead men on his list. He said that he had taken only eight scalps in his life, five of these ba- ing white men and the other three Omaha Indians. His first scalp was that of the officer whom he kiiled in the fight at the junction of Horse creck and the North Platte river. When asked why the Sioux scalp those slain in battle, he gave the fol- lowing reasons: In’ former times the Sioux cut off the heads of their victims, but when they began to fight the white man they took to scalping, the same as they saw the white man do. The scalp is taken as indisputable evidence that a man has been killed, and wheneveran Indian warrior recounts his bloody deeds he must produce the sealp to prove what he says is true. If he failsto do this ke is not believed. The scalps are usually kept for a time and then thrown away. Some of the old men wear scalps on their shirts or leggings, and have them buried with their bodies when th die. In concluding hi remarks on scalps, Red Shirt said, with a touch of sadness in his expression: ‘I don’tlike to keep scalps or look at them, for they always make me think of fightsin which some of my friends have been killed.” In re- ply to the questfon, **Are you sorry that you have no opportunity to increase the number of your scalps?”’ he said: No, I am glad that waris at an end. There are too many white men. The Indians must do as they sa, I don’t want to see any more of my people killed. Itisuseless to shed tlood for in the end they must lose.” Why do you have scalp dances?” was asked. When we come back from a big fight with many scalps we make a big feast. Each man tells what he has done in the war, and we rejoice. If we take no scalps and have some of our people killed we come back sad and have no dance.” “In the ‘Omaha,’ or war dance, what does each man say in his song? *“He says: 'l have killed a man. Iam very glad. Thave taken another scalp. I hive——scalps now (mentioning the number), and [ am going to get some more.”" **Does an Indian feel Kkills & woman or child?” **No, not when he does {t in Our enemies kill our wives and chil- dren and we do the same. Ifan Ind.an kills one of his own people, he feels very bad, because it 3 wrong. It is mnot wrong to kill an enemy.” **What is your idea of heaveny” At this question Red Shirt’s face as- sumed a very puzzled expression, and for some moments he appeared to be in adeep study. He then answered very slowly: *‘['have heard the old men say that there is a heaven somewhere above us. | have scen many dead men; but all that [ have scen went into the ground. I have never seen any of them goup to heaven, I don’t know what becomes of them,” This speech was greeted with grunts of approval all around the circle. and his remark must have been funny in bad when he war, the Sioux language, for all of the In- dians p nt laughed much more than they gener do. Mvr, William Irve] ing,one of the interpreters present said that if the Sioux lndmnu had any conception of heaven he had never been avle to find it out, although he is married to & Sioux woman and has lived for many years among the tribe. He says they believe in the existence of a God, and when one of the tribe dies the relatives punish themselves by cutting their bodies with knives, and call on God to vent his wrath upon the living, but to spare the departed spirits. Nojwithstanding this, they seem to have no idea of any kind of future existence. k> Shirt was last questioned as to the impressions made upon him during his stay in England, and his reply was a characteristio one. “Iliked the people,” said he, “‘be- cause they were good to me; I like them better than the people here, but this is During the interview Red Shirt did not refuse to answer any of the ques- tions which were asked him, and it was evident that he tried to be accurate in everything he said. it New Nebraska Postoffices, WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—(Special Telegram to Tur Bee | —Postoftices were established to-day at Newington, Dawson county, Ne- braska, with Wilhelm Toch as postmaster, and at Spragg, Brown county, Nebraska, with Christopher Spragg tmaster, - - ing After Slave Traders.
