Herctoforce this Provision has been ignored, and the commis- sioners have simply ‘‘gucssed” at the value of cuch road, basing. their conjectures upon the umount of capitalization per mile und the muuual earniugs. Governor Larrabee now insists that the bottom facts must be fur- mishod, and the commissioners are acting uc- eordingly. ‘The Rock Island was the first road to eply, aud W. G.

Still, for various reason. we cannot all of us be protected with. babies of tune- ful nocturnal note, and some of us pre- fer burglars to dogs in the house.

Buffalo Express: A visitor in the valley of the Yosemite says one important fact to be sevved there, but which ‘is mentioned in the guide books and sel- @om in ucwspaper correspondénce, is that the women visitors who explove the place to auy. extent do so on horse- back and ride astride. The steeps are 80 abrupt that a woman who attempts them porched unnatarally on one side of a beast is sure to come ‘to grief, and coming to grief on mountain t; S where the precipices are a mile h is o matter of life and death. Women must either leave the glories of the Yo- semite ubscen or they wust employ all the advantages which nature has v them. And really, when you come to think of it, why should not women ride astride as well as men? Among the plaius Indians and other equestrian people women vide the same as men and never think of riding any other way. e All doctors recommend Jarvis' Brandy. Ll tgen Stringent Bankrupt Laws. Amecrican Banker: In France snd Germany a bankrupt is liable to be pun- ished by imprisonment if it is found that his persoual exponses have been excessive, if he hus lost large sums of money by gambling or stock exchunge operation, if he has put accommodation notes in cireulation to stave oft failure. or if he has failed to kcep correct and proper books, It is noodless to suy that rigorous methods of this kind ha ' 1ot been adopted in the United =iates, wheve they would go wr toward adding to the number of those in our various penal institutions: and vhus far even in England they have not been looked upon as nece: y. But the tendency of the times is 50 clearly toward an un- warrantable use of the credit system that it would not he surpr| g il some check of this kind were applied in Eng- land, and, should succeed there, be adopted after o while in this country. 2 All druggists sell Buan dy.

Dur- ing the present open season there has been simply no prairic chicken or grouse shooting even on the best grounds the state affords. Why! Because the young §rds were trapped, netted and shot oft by conscience- less market and pot huntcrs before the time was up and the birds were able to care for themselves. The wholesale illegal killing of these noble game birds threatens their speedy extinction in this state if more strin- gent laws are not enacted and enforced. The gun club was well aware of this nefa- rious pructice all through the summeor months, and vet they remained passive when the ar- rest of one or two of the malfactors, and they were known, and the imposition of the maximum fiue, $100 for each bird killed, would in a great measure have stopped the villainous practice and had a salutary effect upon pot hunters throughout the state. The Iawis all there is left to insure the legiti- mate sport any pleasure among the grouse and chicken in'the years to come. The birds must be protected from these ins ket slaughterers or all sport from th must come to a speedy termmation. And then, to00, the chicken are not alone to be legislated for, as there are the juck-snipe, geese, ducks and wild fowl generally, which species of valuable game birds have no pro- tection from the law whatsoever. Spring snipe-shooting should be abolished alto gether, and the fall and spring ducking sea- son shortencd. The club at its next meet- ing will discuss these matters. A Model Gymnasium, The splendid gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A.,in its new building at the corner of Douglas and Sixteenth strects, is rapidly ap- proaching completion, and will be formally opened to the public about the 15th of this month, The priucipal object of this gym: naseum is for the benefit of business and professional men, and not ex-lusively for athletics. It is the former class who eatly need physical exercise and who will preciate the enterprise of the Y. M. C. A. in their behalf. Jumes T. Gwathmey, au ex- pericnced instructor, has been engaged ds manager of the gymnasium and will dovote his entire time to giving instructions and overseeing the work. That this gymnasium is to be one of the most complete in the country there is no doubt. It will be splendidly equipped in all detals with the most modern scientific ap- paratus, which arrived here yesterday, The exercise room proper is a finely lighted, well ventilated compartment 34x65, beautifully finished in hard wood, aud with a suspended ruuning track of felt 'encircling the ontice room like n gal On the north side, back of this track is the visitors' gallory which is_ handsomely ‘appointed."

The Prosent Ducking Season. So far, the present fall ducking season, despite the predictions and anticipation of great shootiug, has been unprecedentedly poor, There has been literally no geese, and the flight of ducks has been sparse and ir- regular, and the first good bag is yet to be reported. The Omaha Gun club's anuual shoot, so tar as the securement of game was concerned, was almost an eatire failure. Hagt * four, five and sometimes a dozen ducl’ wvere made, and no geese, and but few chickeusor quail were grassed. Rabbits and squirecls, too, escaped exteusive slaughtor, but owls and hawks suffered cousiderably. This is s.ccounted for by the long, uninter- rupted spell of mild and even sultry weather. There has not been suffivient cold in the north to set the great body of wild fowls in motion, on their annual migration to the tor- rid zone, Those that have come in, have been isolated flocks, that gathered in the abundaut feeding grounds, and remain there, basking in the sun, and defying the ambi- tious hunter. There is an indication now, however, that the birds are coming in their wounted numbers, Flocks of ducks are seen seurrying down the Missouri valiey night and moruing, and the bars along the legend- ary Platte are suid to be covered with geese, Canadas and Hutchins, and whil and n‘n\rklx-nl brant. The prospects are for good shooting and heavy bags for the balance of the scasou. Base Ball Matters. Sneed, Traffey, Wells, Walsh and Me- Laughlin are the professional ball players in the city. “The local base ball association will hold its aunual meeting on Novemuer 5, and much important business is to be transacted. The Omaha base ball contingent at the coming meeting of the Western association would do the right thing by urging the elec- uon of J. 8. McCormick to the presidency. John Hughes, the old Hardin pitcher, played @ game in Chicago Friday, against the craek colored team, striking out twonty- one men and allowing them only two hits. Mincellaneous Sporting Notes.

O'Meara, in Chicago Globe: At Virginia City, Nev., during the palmy days of the Comstock output, everyone knew Madge—wild, beautiful Madge Taylor, whose beauty and pranks were the talk of the town. Strangers arriving in the place and lounging along C street eould not fail to ohserve a dainty bit of femininity gliding along at intervals durving any sunshiny day, and mentally or audibly would exclaim: *“What a lovely girl Overheard by some. veteran miner, peculator, or sport, the response would be: “You bet! She’sthe daintiest bit of womankind that can be found any- where!” And if you had asked: **Who is she?" you would have been answered: “Lord! Don’t you kuow our Madge's history? Why, you must be a tender- foot on this const not to know her. Your eyescan tell you that she is lovely, but they can’t tell you what a wild, tumult- uous heart she carries. 1f you lend me your ear a fow minutes ['ll tell you something of her.

We must get our boys out of their tomb, if we have all to be buried in it!’ “Sgranger, if I tell you that she smiled when she . said this, and that those beautiful blue eyes gleamed with a heavenly light. and that not a quiver ring that slender fig- ure or marring the effect of that daz- zling beautiful face, you might think. I lied; but, strang 'm blowed to hades this very minute if it ain’t all so. ‘*‘When her brave, bold words reached our understanding every man moved till we were rushing like mad toward the mine, with Madge in the lead and * * % Lord! how those dainty feet did fly and those golden curls streum in the wind from that dainty head. **Arriving at the mine Madge led the way to the tool house,and each of us seized a shovel or pick, Madge among the rest, und away she flew to the mouth of the tunnel, where our brave fellows had gone in thatmorning, little thinking that they would be shut up, rhaps to death, or. until a brave, g:nutilul girl would come with a crowd of brawny men to their rescue. “*Stranger, forgiveme if I laugh, be- cause I can’t help it when I think of how that mite of a girl first entered that tunnel with a pick 1n her haunds, and as I followed close I saw her sink her pick into the eaveand look vound at me with such a comical look, and cry out: “Here, Jack Frost, ceme here and take my pick and pick here, for I be- lieve I'm not strong enough; but I'll stand by, and when you get a big enough hele for me to cruwf through let me go first to welcome back the living and look for the dead!’ *Need I tell you that, two abreast, we worked. picked and shoveled by turns until a hole was made big enough for Madge to crawl through, and when we he; her glad cr) “Boys. they are alive and will live tocome another day!’ we'made the tunnel echo with our glad cry: and the crowd outside swelled the echo till the whole world soon knew that Madge Taylor was as great a hero- ine as any ti went: before in the world’s history . “But stranger, Madge is married; she married one of,.¢hose fellows that she rescued, Hes !{; handsome fellow enough, and we al} thought a good fel- low, but not good Snonghifor her.

She was a woman below the medium heighth, but of such & model as Powers, our soulptor, would he proud to have for a model of a greater Grecian - slave. The lie= of the bewitching face were not regular and correct.” The nose was a_dainty morsel. with thin, quivering nostrils, The mouth was her large, but rivaled Cupid’s bow 1h its curves, and its bloom that of adamask rose and, as the lips parted, revealed teeth un- rivalled by dentists’ act.

He had endenvored to regain her friendship, and to that end called at the hotel A number of times, but she refused to see him. Notwithstanding, he watched her coming and going, and hung about the hote' during his idic hours, but without avail. One morning while I was sitting in front of thie hotel with the clerk he sud- (lunl}' cried: “There. the: husband!” Looking across the street I saw a tall, well-formed, dandy looking sort of a follow, evect in figure, long, well-kept moustache, oily loc! black, piercing, but cruel-looking eyes, a weak effemin- ate face. Again my companion criod: thore goes Frank Lester!” The latter wasa medium-sized, rather young locking fellow, his stout, well- knit, orect figure, dressed in dark blus trousers and fringed buckskin, broad sombrero, below which was a face bold and feurlesslooking, but very handsome. I had often heard of Frank while he was a scout for General Crook during his first campnign agninst the Apaches, and he bore a first-rate reputation as a fearless and trustworthy scout. He had quit the government services and set- tled down in the camp as a disponser of straight and mixed liquors and but fow ‘‘rustlers” or other desperadoes dared tackle him. The largeand elegant “*Orient saloon” was just compieted and about to be opened, so the proprietors made ar- rangements to give the boysa chanco to “trip the light fantastic toe,” and afterward recuperate their energies with a lunch. All the women of the camp—among them Mrs, Moriarity, who was a rival of the heathen Chince in the laundry line—were duly invited. When Madge entered the ballroom olinging to the arm of Frank Lester all eyes were turned on the pair. After the first dance with Frank, Madge wus sought by a score or more of the boys of every degree for a partuerin the dance. Long before the lunch was spread a loud slap was heard, and cries of *'‘Shame, shame on you for a cowardly brute.”” I hastened toward the scene of the tu- mult and saw beautitul Maage standing as straight and rigid as any saphing. with her starry eyes like blue saphir her scarlet lips colorless, parted and re- vealing her brilliant teeth, confronting her maddened, desperate hushand, who was held in strong embrace by two sturdy men. Then Frank suddenly ap- peared on the scene,and bending a look of rage and seorn upon Mike, turned to Madge, and gracefully bowing, said: **Miss Madge, permit me to escort you home.” The form of the outraged woman at the sound of Frank’s voice bent to pli- ableness from its rigidity, and the color coming to her face, I could plainly see where the cruel hand of her husband had dealt a blow by the flaming red spot on her cheei, Frank and Madge retired undisturbed from the disgraceful s Mike asked to 1 ised to behave himself,so he was al- lowed to go by those holding him. I could not help but notice the florce and malignant look of Mike's eyes as he left the place. So I followed him, be- lieving that mnrder was in his heart. He hastened to his saloon, and, going behind the bar, put something in his pocket, then for fifteen or more minutes lounged up and down the street 1n front of the hotel where his wife was em- ployed. Tho summer’s sun is extremely hot in Arizoni. and therefore builders, for pro- toction against the fiery rays build in front of prominent houses wide balco- nies or awnings. So a wide balcon was built in front of the hotel where Madge was employed. Frank and Madge were sitting on this ding from th it known that plighted lovers—when sud- ) cone thrust open the door leading from the hotel parlor, and pre- senting a pistol fired a shot which grazed the head of Frank, and plowed a fur- row through the scalp to the skull, Frank immediately turned and saw his would-be assassin, Mike, in the act of firing another shot at closer range, for Mike. after he had fired hastened toward his intended victim. so he dropped on his knees, and the shot whistled above his head; then he grap- sled the legs of his assailant and threw him over his head onto the wide bal- cony, and whipping out his own pistol rapidly fired two shots at his prosteate and forled assailant, mortally wounding him. Along with other persons I hastened to the balcony, und “there was Madge standing as I 'had -seen her in the Ori eut saloog, and Frank, putting up b yet smoking pistol into his belt; escort her fram the fearful scene. When we lifted Mike from the hal- cony to take him within doors, with a deep curse; his legs twitched, he gave one groan and gave up the ghost. Frank - was arrested; tried; and ac- quitted. Same months afterwards [ was in Tu son, and who should 1 meet but I'ran and Mmage walking arm-in-urm along “Noj re goes Mike, our Madge’s “And street.

IRON-EYE'S FIGHT FOR PEACE. Prosperity of the Makc-Beliove-White Men—An Interesting Ohapter In the History of tho Omahas. Joseph La Flosche. The late Joseph Ta Flesche once the head chiof of the Omaha Indians, was dosconded upon his father's side from an old French family that reached Auwuierica at sn early date, The first missionnry to the Indians of the north- west was a La Flesche. In the begin- ning of the present century the Tndian trade was controlled by corporations. The Hudson Bay company of England, and the Ameriean Far eompany were the most important. Joseph La Flesche, sr., entered the employ of the latter, and made his headquarters among the Omahas, then living where the present town of Homer stands. He ncquired the language and traded with the tribes living beétween the Nebraska and Platte rivers. These included the Poncas, Omahas, Towas, Utes and Paw- neos. - In 1822 his son Josoph horn, His mothor was a Ponea, & relative of the head chief of the Omahas, the well- known Big Elk. The Bauncrolt Journal suys of him: The boy early showed talent, growing up in the midst of Indian life and lore. From the time he was ten yewrs old he accompanied his father upon his trad- ing tours, visiting St. Louis, and the various tribes, learning their langunge, as well as tho French,and becoming versod in trade. When _about sixteen years of age his marked ¢ recognition from the Aw company and he was 3 ployed in its service until about 1848, during this year the Omahas were re- to the consolidated ageney at Neb., and there Joseph La settled with them. It was his residence herc that the Mormons passed through Nebraska on their way to Utah. To meet the de- mands of the emigrants Joseph La che and Logan Fontenelle estab- aferry over the Platte near the present site of Columbus, and another erry over the Elkhorn wnere Fremont now stand They built the flathoats. which were large ‘enough to take ov two wagons and teams at a time. These forries proved lucrative, and after a year or more were purchased by somo Fnglishmen. ater, during M Flesche's residence at. Bellevue he was for a time clerk to the late Peter A. Sarny. 'he tribal career of Joseph L Flesche dates from about the year 1843, He then began to seriously study and observe the customs of his tribe, and to prepare the way for his entrance into the chieftainship. It impossible to state these briefly, They are a part of the history of tho Omaha tribe, which is strictly organized and offi sd, hav- ing elaborate and clearly defined social and religious rites. In accordunce with his fulfilled obligations, taken in con- nection with his established character for honesty, physical and moral cour- age, and self-control, he was'mada chief about 1819, and upon the death of head chief, Big Elk, 1n 1853, succeedod to his place.. Joseph La Flesche was the ouly person having any white blood who has been a chief in the Omaha tribe, While living in Bellevue he built him a home and worked on his farm, gath- ering some of the young men about him, and tenching them to sow and rveap. He sent his children to school. Hi own active nature and his father’s in- dulgence had prevented his securing the advantages of an education. Later he realized the mistake and his children all bear testimony to his appreciation of schools. When the Omahas as a separate tribe mnde their first treaty in 1854, selling their hunting grounds and reserving for their future home the tract known as the Omaha and Winnebago reserva- tion, they intended to include their old village site near Hom: The history of the making of this treaty is full of in- terest. Some of its wiscst provisions are due to the thoughtfuluess and per- severence of Head Chicf La Flesche, to whom Indian Commissioner Many- penny wrote under date “WASHINGTON, March 20, 1854.— Having completed the business which brought you here, 1 dcem 1t my duty on your departure for your homo to express to you my approbation of your official conduct while here,and to commend the interest you have shown for the Omnha people. ™ When the tribe cuine up to their res- ervation in 185-7 they built their vil- I 1lodges ‘in the ancient form, cle, each clan occupying the tribal pla The site was bewween the mouths of the North and South Black- ford creeks. The agenoy was ostabe lished upon the old - military road, the way in those days. The Prog- church erccted its mission house on ‘the bluffs overlooking a wide from where the mills and shops were built and wa the stenmboats landed, bringing tidings of the outside world. Towirds this locality in 1559 Joseph La Flesche led forth over twenty familics and established a new village. Ho built for himsclf.a large frame house, made & gardon, plunted an_orchard and opened a farm. The othor men built houses and bridges, and took up farms on the botom where the head men - broke for them over one hundrod acres, Here the first wheat was planted and in winter the people hauled their erops en the to Sioux City. . Their children attended the mission school, In the midst of their labors and pros- perity the men eaved lttle for the do- risive name of *Flio mako-belteve whito men' given to them by the conservative Indinns, In 1864, while living at their villa, Jos. La Flesche was mmissioned leader under a bond of #5000, The in- adequacy of the law to protect the lu- dian made it smpossible to collect notes due from white men, Thisand kindred difficulties resulted in financial loss and the abandonment of trading. His busi- xperience led him at- times to se sharply the action of men ha ing money dealings with the tribe. For his defense of his people he suffered in- justice and porsecution, losing at ono time his official tribal position, ch, however, was soon festored to him. His observation of men and events taught him thatif the Indian was to sur- ive in the midst of the incoming civil- zation he must possess his lana indi- vidually and become n citizen. The old organization of the tribo was incompatible with these demands, and the old customs must yield to the methodsof the white raco. He theve- fore urged upon the United States government the division of the land into individual furms, and was the prin- cipal mover for the ahrogation of chiof- tainship, getting up a petition 1o that effect in 1875, four years after the fivst allotmentof land wins made. This re- markable move to abolish chieftainship on the part of the man holding by vir- tue of Tndian requirement, the anthop- ity of the United States, the oftice of head chief, in order to secure the futuro good of the people, is characteristic of Joseph La Flesche. His ambition trans- cended the desire of mere personal hou- ors. He believed in the truth that s 1s found only in unselfish labor to upbuild nee his fellow men. It is to h tent effort that the abolishing of chiefs among the Omahas is due. This radical act made it pos- sible for the tribe to abandon many an- cient customs which, if persisted in undor their chanzed conditions inei- dent to the 1oss of the game, would have impoverished and injured the people, as well ag roturded their aceeptance of civilization and citizenship. While he yet held the position of head chief ho used it to inflict severe penalties upon those addicted to drunkonness and gambling. The results of s vigorous action are felt to-day after the lapse of more than twenty years. ‘When the tinal allotment was made in 1883-4 for the purpose of patenting tho land Joseph La Flesche. true to s ader, and in spito of his three-score s, once more led his people forth. He left his farm of sixt; acres nestled amid the wooded hlud: and singing st where he had fought so brave! behalf of educa- tion, industry and christian living, and took up his 160 acres on the unbroken prairics, gathoring his children and friends about him. The railroad passed through his lund but there were no other signs of theé prosperity which is now cverywhere to be seen. The bottom where ‘‘the make-believe white men” farmed and where the steamboat landed thirty years ago, has long since disuppeared on the Missouri rviver, but the men who worked there and their childven have to-day broken v two hundred acres in the Logan which they are now farming. This victory for paace, won by Josoph La Klosehe, is far grenter than his va- lient fights to save his people from their cnemics, when by his valor he won tho name of *ln-sta-my-gue,” Iron-Eye, He has fallen :hh-cl; in the midst of his 100 acres of ripened corn and his tall wheat stacks waiting for the thresher. finving in his old age built him a houss und barn, cultivated 200 ucres of land, and lived to take rank among the white farmers and to exercise with his people the rights belonging to citizens of the United States. The funeral sor- vives were conduotod by - the Rov. Mr, McClellan, of Lyons, according to the formns of the Prosbyterian church, of which Mr. Ia Flesche and his family are members, and the large attendanco of friends and neighbors was a genuine tribute of respect. His loss to the tribe is great, and to other tribes where he was known and beloved, but his works do live after him.
