12 GAYETY IN THE DOG DAYS| Little Doing in the Swell Oircles of Omaha's Four Hundred. PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEKING COOL RESORTS Attention Past th Stay-at-Homes" the Week—Movements Here and There, Loeal Events That Occup of All that relates to the pleasure and luxury of life, tho play of fashion, the ghtter of equipage and restful leisure is now trans- ferred from the town to the many summer homes of gayoty and diversion, the hotels and rosorts by tho sea, in mountain places and along the lakes and in delightful woodiard places, The reason is a queer one, and more than ever before peaplo of means who are in the nabit of Isaving town are intent on travel rather than sitting down in one place. Omuha is more largely rapresontod at tho summer rosorts of this country than over before, and more Omatans are touring the continent than in any previous year, The foreign news- papers show that the Gute City of the west is in reality a gate city, for everywhere, it every prominent town in Burope, some resi dent of Omabia is to be found enjoying a sum- mer outing. he love of change,” says a wiso writor, “is & weakness and 1mperfection of our na- ture and implies that it is 1 & state of pro- bation.” Iu a moderate way chauge is good forus and evon necessary. A chango of scene is restful to the senses as u change of air is gooa for the body. There is rest iu change of occupation which puts into opora- tion & differcnt set of faculties acd allows others to rest. There are, however, thousanas of people wko are very slaves of change, and they aro found in all ranks of life, from the ennuied dovoteo of fasnion, the woman of the world, 10 the poor maid servant who throws up her last place 1mpelied by the same insane desire for chungo. Itis when the love of change becomes fickleness that it 1s to be opposed as & dun- gerous part of the character. The excessivo love of variety is a churacteristic of a shal- low mind, which has neither sincerity ot purpose nor strength of affection to bind 1ts possessor to g uny ono object, The old prophecy uttered agaiust Reuben, “Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel,” is fulilled in the case of every son and daughter of changing mind. There are some people whose life is’ poisoned by insa- tiable desire for variety. No object is of any vaiue to them when it is once their own. They select their clothes and all their be- longings in a striking color und styles that startle by their eccentricity rather than at- tract by their grace. Thoy choose their friends on tho same plan. Such people pre- fer hotel life, with the changes and exoitements. The inhcrent weakness ot a life like this need not be dwelt upon. A man or woman must havo something of a hardened as well as frivolous nature 1o choose such a butterfly existence as this. Noone with sincere feeling can cast aside their friends which bave been won and tried, merely to gratify the selfish impulse of meauness. © for th ~To Nebraska Ho Owana, July 1 Friends: The Home for the Aged is in great need of funds, This is to solicit your careful con- sidoration. ‘Tho Homo 18 an incorporated fustitution and has been opened for the reception of in- mates six months, SCHEDULE OF ASSE Valuation of reul estat Household furniture Ag our Esteemed AND LIABILITIES, 86,000 00 500 00 86,500 00 Mostly donated.

Itis now midsummer aud nothing has been done toward buildiug new school- houses, but to let the grading of two or three sites. Plans for tho Centeal school are not, yet ready for submission to the board, al- though a resolution was passed by the board last January declaring that tbe Central echool ~should be pushed with _all possible spced so as to have it ready by the opening of the school year this coming fall. ‘It is now out of the question,” said a member of the board, “to think of having any of the new buildings ready for use by the first of Soptember next. Indeed it is doubtful if any of them will be completo and ready for use during the coming school vear, This time last year men were at work upon the Keilom school and yot it was not completed until uearly tho end of the veur. “What is to be done with tae pupils of the Central ana High schools this fall is very likely to become a much more troublesomo for there wiil be an addition 1o the Hikh school of about 300 and unless lower graae pupils are sent e sewhere there will be no room for them 1a the High school building.” Lo STEVE STOLE AWAY.

When the work of enlisting the orig- inal Americans for army duty was com- wenced there was a flood of opinions as to the navisabinty of the move. Mauy of the officers high in rank were opposed to the plan, claiming that 1t would be difiicult if not impossible to make clean, obedieut, intelli- gent soldiors out of such material, But the experiment has been tried. First Licutenant Avuer Pickering of the Second infantry recently read before the officers of the regiment at Fort Omaha a paper on “Tne Indian as a Soldior,” which is presented in substance s ‘ The matter of regularly entisting Indians as soldiers for a full term of five years, plac- ing them on the same footing as the 'white and colored soldiers, was first broachod and carried into effect by the late secretary of war, Proctor. In makiug the Indians a part of the regular army it probably was with theidea of the beiterment of the Iudiaus themselves as well as of the army, It is to bo hoped that both results will follow. Whilo this featurc may be considered to have pussed beyond the | experimont, inasmuci - as demonstrated their ability to take thoir place alongside of whito troops 1 the per- formance of the regular garrison duties, innato modesty, though it is hard to reconcile this idea with'the aisplay of the person at the “Omahas.” But true it is, it vequired the combined persuasion of the doctor, in- terpreter and friends to induce them to sub- mit to a close physical examination, 1 doem it unnecessary to spoak further on this subject or Lo offer suggestious as to the best meihods of securing recruits among the Indians, as I believe that before the prosent enlistments expire all dificulty 1 inducing them to come into the service will have dis- appeared and applications will be numerons, From a repory received from the office of the inspector general about the lust of January, 1802, ‘it is ascertumed that there are represented in the army twenty-two tribes and subtrives, aggregating 742 men. They are represented iu eight troops of cavalry and eleven compauies of infantry. Of thése troops and companies twelve are over forty strong, running from forty-ono to seventy-seven. 1 believe that they have adopted the proper plau in utilizing the Indiau as a vart of the regular army by giving single com- panies to a regiwent rather than making full regiments of them as is done with the ne- groes. Considering the characteristics of the Indian, especially as a fighting factor, he will be most useful asa special contingent, to be used advantageously in adifferent manner trom other troops. First, a_vegiment tuking the field should have its Indian company mounted. They do not have to learn to ride, and a very little drill with their norses will be noeded by a company well drilled as in- wfantry. They should be used in acam- palgn mainly as scouts, flankers, look-outs, videttes and couriers. With ' the new open order drill th will bocome quickly familiar and eficiént, and will work as well as_un orgunization on the fighting line, I behove that they will develop 1uto good shots on the target range whicn, supplemented with their training and inbred ove of huuting and natural afiaity for the gun, will make them s formidable foe. Iu the treatment of tne Indians a commna- der must meet thoin move as friends thun o commander of white troops camw They have for 5o long boen coddled and treated by tho government us children that one caunot for some time divorce this relation from their winds. It was my practice, without saying that 1t was the best, iu my relations witn there are those who still doprecate the step of their eulistment. They claim that as soldiers they have not yet beon subjected to the prime test of service in the field and es- pecially actiye campaigning. This must bo left to the future. But with past experience with [1:d1ans as sconts, COVErILg mMuy years, the presumption is altogetber in favorof the uo characteristics of the Indians as a people are such thay wisely a_provision has beou made by the War départinent for thei- commandoss to be made by selection, This selection is to be made with an idea to per culiar fitness, ombracing, according to in- structions, a missionary spirit. In my recent oxperiences in recruiting among the Sioux av Piue Iidge, [ learned a good aeal of the chmpacter of the Indians, Which I presume 1s not peculiar to this tribe alone. Our coming and objoct were known at the agoucy before our arfival. The original five of the company wero welcom-d back by their frienas with much enthusiasm. It was evident that much curiosity existed among their friends as Lo their expuriences as sol- diers and the report tfiat they would bring with them. 1 was aware that tae rosult of the trip would depond much upon the re- ports thut these five conveyed to their frieuds, but having the assurance before vo started that the Indlans were satistied and would work for o, I bad no hesitaucy in turning them loose aid issuing passes freely. Beloro any of wy wan lad left camp con- vorts bogun W cous i for enlistment. The arrival of my Indian soldiers. dressed in their warm clothing, bud With commodious Sibley tents, almost ¢aused a stampede in our direction beforg our tents wore pitched, Bright and early néxt morning I enlistod seven, We remained in camp two weeks, and when the enlisuments fell o two or three men 1o as wauy days I decided to move to Lower Wounded Knoee camp. There wo met a large tribe davcivg the “‘Omahu’ dance, | stated my business, was well re- ceived, aud was promised & nuwmoer of en- Listments when I returned to the sgency. Those who promised to come failed to do so, and it was afterwards found Lhat tbe chiefs secrotly urged the soung bucks to keep away fromus. 1 beliove that those holding the place of headmen of the Lribes are such in name ouly, aud have no appreciablo influence with their following. This I consider a most fortunate coudition of things, as indicaticg s breaking away of the close tribal relatious and a teu- denéy to more independent actiou. 1 found that this fecling existed awong the youuger men, wney admittiug it in my numerous talks witl them. An Indian has 8o aversiun to stripping for @ physical examination, This way be due o those of the company to Creal them with much more familiarity than I would think proper with white troops, and I believe with- out lessening in any way their regard for mo or for discipline. 1 never had the slightest disrespect oftered me even if [ did call them “Crazy Horse,” “Few Clothes' or simply ++Joe" or ““Charlie.”’ As they grow into tho ways and ideas of the white soldivr it may bo necessary to depart from this practice, but intuition snd tact will teach a cominsn- der when todo so, One of the figst things an Indian has to learn is frugality of his supplies and pay. From his inherited hubits he is inclined to, and gonerally does, spond his monev imme- diately upon receiving it. He sooms to haye an abnormal appetite when ho Knows that ho is expected Lo nave all that he can eat. 1o illustrate, 1 company arrived hero from Pine Ridge on tue_evening of Decembor 31, forty-six strong. Bevween that date and tho last'of the month they overdrew in bread 300 rations and they ate it too. Tuo presence of the families of the mar- ried wen will be more or less of an embar- rassuent as long as they are with the troops. Their presence at the beginuing, however, will have a salutary effect ou the men in Lbat it wili serve 1o connect Laem in their present relations with their past life just abandoned and will make them more contented, “Tne recent allowance of rations Lo women and cnilaren has served Lo mako tho latter very hapuy. 1t may mot be out of place w Dbere aigress @ little to make & comparison, By treaty stivulation tnese indians are given & ration at the reser- vation which 1s supoosed to be suflicient for their sustenance, 1t consists of the following articles and quantilics, viz Fresh beef, one;and one-balf pound per ra- tion, or bacon one-hall pound per ration, Flour, one-nalf pound por ration.

This might be called an “odorous’ comparison, for it smells of job- bery some place. If the necessities of the service require the removal of a regiment having an Indian com- puny to u station distant from thoir reserva- tion, thut is to an eatiraly diferent soction of the country, boforo thoy are thoroughly divoreed from” their former ties and weddod to their new ones, I question i it would not be wise to vetain the ludians at or near their present location, trausferring them to the regiment coming in. Wnen tho matter of service in the army for thom becomes thor- oughly understood as a permanent thing ana 8 matter of fuct, then 1t will be well recog- nized by them 'that they follow their or- ganization through all the vivssitudes and changes of the service, oeie BrEians OF THE BUDS. One morning httio Bol was sent by her mamma to the “‘button store' to match a spool of silk, says the Doll's Dressmaker, She had often been trustod on such errands, though only 4 yeurs ola, and very proud she usnd to feel as she trudged along, “helping mamma.” “Besare and get just that shade of blue and come right back, littlo daughter,” said mamma, as she kissed her goodby. **Yes, ma'm,” was thesturdy answer. Now, on the way to the “‘button store” there was A fruit stand, and Bel often used to look at it with longing eyes.

Little Boy—Why, you see, I can go home with them after supper an’ thoy’ll tell their mother they didn’t have much to aat, an’ then she'll give thom a lot of nico cakes an’ things, an’ I'll get some, too. “Tommy,” expostilated the fond mothor, it you persist in being bad you wou't go to heaven.
