Tho photographic reproduction of Spotted
Tall and other celebrated Indian chiefs In
Tho Illustrated Ileo last Sunday has not old
tlmo frontiersmen, of whom thero nro cv
cral In Omaha, to dealing In reminiscences.
Tho Htories told of these warriors, and par
ticularly of Spotted Tall, who wnH In many
particular tho moat Interesting In tho
croup, would make a volume of raro Intcr
it. Tho cold-blooded murder of Spotted Tall
by Crow Dog in 1881 was nn event of Inter
est throughout tho United States. The old
chief wuh shot without warning whllo riding
nlong a lonoly trail. Ho had been attending
a meeting of his people preliminary to a
vllt to Washington, whero ho had a ml
Blon with tho government. Ho wdh not ex
pecting thu attack. When the shot struck
Spotted Tall ho rcolod nnd fell from his
horso, but rallied, and whllo advancing upon
Iilu murderer with pltol In hand he foil
dead. So far an wan ever learned tho only
motlvo for tho murder wnB that eome tlmo
provlous Spotted Tull had accused Crow Dog
nnd his brother of cowardlco because they
pointed a rlllo at him when ho was un
armed. Of that occasion a local army officer says:
"'Spotted Tall hated a coward, and when
Crow Dog nnd his brother sought to take
advantage of bin defenseless pottltlon ho
uald: 'If I point my rlllo nt a man's body
I make his heart bleed; If I point my rlllo
nt a man's head, I make his brains scatter.
Aro you squaws, that you are afraid to fire?'
Another theory Is that tho death of Spotted
Tall grew Indirectly out of tho killing of
lllg Mouth by Spotted Tall ten years before.
Ulg Mouth acetified Spotted Tall of being
cowardly and told how ho hnd Intimidated
lilm. This so aroused tho Ire of Spotted Tall
that ho shot Ulg Mouth through tho head.
nnd, as lllg Mouth and crow Dog wcro
friends, It may havo been nn act of revenge,
coupled with tho Insult, because of tho
charge of cowardice.

"It would take a book ns voluminous ns
tho blblo to recount tho complete biography
of Spotted Tall and to Include bis many
wonderful deeds. It would llkowlso bo nn
ImiKjsnlMllty to give his biography In com
ploto and consecutlvo form, bccntiHo of the
fact that Indians keep no records. All In
dian history, aa kept by Indians, Is handed
down verbally from generation to genera
tion nnd It Is necessarily fragmentary.
"It Is iinld of Spotted Tall, nnd Justly so,
that ho was never on egotist. Ho was al
ways reticent In relating narratives wherein
ho appeared as tho hero. According to tho
jnost reliable guestos, Spotted Tall was
about D3 years old at tho tlmo of his death.
Ho was as Ilerco a warrior as ever tho red
raeo produced. Ho was onco sentenced to
death, but he managed to ovade the sentence.
In 1854 Spotted Tall led an attack upon a
party of California ejnlgrants and several
wero killed. It Is relnted that Spotted Tall
nocurcd $5,000 from one of tho dead bodies,
following this ntroclty, thcro was an Indian
war In which General Harney distinguished
lilmsclf. Among tho prisoners was Spotted
Tall. Ho whs sentenced to die for tho purt
lto played In tho massacre, but President
lluchanan pardoned him, Krom that time
forward Spotted Tall became tho firm friend
oftho palefaces. He was of a positive na
turo and his likes and dislikes wero strong.
After he turned friendly ho was as extreme
In that lino as ho had been In tho opposite.
"Spotted Tail's daughter died under ro
mantic circumstances In I860, nnd that be
reavement, perhaps, had much to do with
cementing his friendship for tho whites. Tho
young Indian girl was In lovo with an army
officer, It Is said, and for that renson sho
rwas friendly toward tho whlto raco as a
whole. Her dying request was that her
father should ttso his lnllucnco to bring
about universal peace. Tho girl died an

"In this connection it has been said that
the maiden died of a broken heart because
bho feared tho army olllcer did not recipro
cal her affection. Hut that story wan
founded perhaps ntoro on romance than on
fnct. Spotted Tall was greatly grieved on
account of tho death of his daughter. In
deference, to her request sho was burled
nmong tho whites In tho soldiers' cemetery
soar Kort barnmlc. Tho funeral was otto
of tho most weirdly impresHlvo scenes over
'wltnosscd. Tho slntplo servlco was con
ducted by tho chaplain of tho army post
nml tho ofllccrs stationed thero were in at
tendance. Spotted 'hill, several years after
ward, had tho body taken up nnd re-Interred
on burying grounds at IiIb ngoney.
"In 1S07. with the dying admonition of his
daughter still fresh In mind, Spottod Tull
nppiured at North Platto to participate in
I ho great peace commission council, which
had much to do with the stamping out of
hostilities between the redskins and pnlo-
train and killed nearly every member of tho
crew. Ono man was scalped nllve and an
other was thrown Into the firebox of the.
engine. Thefe nro nverago examples of
Turkey Leg's atrocious method of warfaro
and plumlor. After looting the cars of every
thing of value to his band Turkey Leg set
flro to tho wreck nnd It went up In smoke.
This led to retaliation on tho part of tho
army, and tho North I'lattc peaco confer
enco was tho outgrowth, several of Turkoy
Leg's warriors having been captured. White
prisoners wero also In bondage at tho hands
of Turkoy Leg, and an exchange was made."
.trill) OIIIimt'm I m 1 1 til t
Perhaps no white man knew Spotted Tall
moro intimately than did (leneral CJcorgo
Crook, former commander of tho Depart
ment of the I'lattc. In an Interview given
by (ionoral Crook at thd tlmo of Spotted
Tail's murder he said:
"My personal acquaintance with Spotted
Tall begun during tho Sioux campaign of
1870, when everything lookea very dark for
us on tho frontier. It wns difficult to de
termine whero tho hostllos left off and tho
peaceable Indians began. Hcd Cloud and
Hcd Leaf were going out to Join tho hos
tiles, for I overheard them say so, anil
friendly Indians were at a discount. It was
particularly Important to know who our
friends wero nnd to separate them from tho
enemy. Ono morning wo took, the camps of
Kcd Leaf and Red Cloud by surprise nnd
captured their warriors. Tho chiefs -were
nbscnt when wo surrotindetl their camps.
Recognizing tho pre-eminence of SpottcJ
Tall, I matlo him chief over all of the In
dians. Ho was decidedly tho most powerful
leader of them all. nnd his Influence had
good effect. He finally restored peace by
enlisting Indians In the army at Red Cloud
and Spotted Tall agencies, thus turning a
portion of them against their own people.
I Bent Spotted Tall as nn emissary nmong
tho hostllos nnd ho rounded thorn up after
many hardships and showed thcra the fnllacy
of such war."
It Is said of Spotted Tall that he was a
politician, a diplomat and an orator, as well
as a warrior. Ilo was proud of tho fact
that ho was Bent to Washington for confer
ence with tho government authorities and
was anxious to havo his speeches printed In
pamphlet form, to fienornl Crook relates
"Spotted Ta'l was born with a faculty for
leadership," said General Crook. "He could
command Indians moro ratlsfactorlly than
any chief I ever know. Spotted Tall waa
tho chief in every sense of the word of tho
entire Hrulo tribo and of various other bands
of other tribes, numbering In all about 5,000
or C,000 Indians. In August, 18n, Crazy
Horse, who had moro or less prominence ns
a chief, tried to Incite nn Indian uprising.
Spotted Tnll took a band in tho deal and,
summoning Crazy Horso to Bland up before
him. bo gave him a characteristic reprimand
and closed by saying: 'I am the chief and
you must obey me. If you cannot hear I will
glvo you ears.' "
Siiiitti'il 'I'll 11 ii llliiloinni
It was Spotted Tail's skill and diplomacy
and his knowledge of Indinn character, so
say those who knew him, that enabled him
to do such Important work on behalf of the'
government. Army officers nnd frontiersmen
gonorally express tho opinion tnat tno gov
ernmcnt failed to glvo proper recognltlon.to
Spotted Tall for tho service ho rendered the
country. It Is very generally admitted that
his good acts, after ho became peaceable,
moro than offset all tho depredations he ever
committed during his hostile period.
Following tho eplsodo between Spotted
Tnll nnd Crazy HorBO, wherein tho word of
Spotted Tnll prevailed as supreme authority,
Crazy Horse was taken Into custody and was
sent to tho Red Cloud agency In charge of a
guard. Ho was killed on tho following day
whllo attempting to escape.
Simtt.ll Till I'M Wit
As n wit Spotted Tall had few equals,
olther among Indians or whites. A New
York newspaper once sent a reporter to Red
Cloud agency, whero a council was being
hold. Tho correspondent of courso wanted
an Interview with Spotted Tall.
"You aro paid for this work, are you?'
Old Spot asked.
Tho reporter replied In tho affirmative.
"I havo nothing to say," Spotted Tall re
plied. ,
Tho reporter did not tako tho hint, but a
bystander who saw tho drift of tho con
versntlon suggested that Spotted Tall would
talk If a few dollars wero offered. The
newspaper man slipped a $5 bill Into tho
hands of tho old chief. Spotted Tail's
vocabulary loosened Immediately and ho
talked glibly for several minutes, but
stopped suddenly In tho mldbt of nn 1m
portant topic.
"What's thn matter?" exclaimed tho
astonished reporter.
"I've talked $5 worth," retorted tho wily
Spotted Tall.
Another S5 wan given nnd tho Interview
continued until tho reporter had nil he
wanted
A government official onco undertook to
discuss religion nnd education with Spotted
Tall, to show him the benefits arising from
civilization. After listening to what tho of
llcial had to say Spatted Tall had his Inning.
Ho said: "iMy friend, when you go back to
Washington you may tell tho Great Knthe
to hurry tin, and Bend his scbcol teachers nnd
missionaries out here to teach my children
and my pcoplo to read and write, so they
can commit forgery nnd make a living llko
tho whites." Spotted Tall hud somo logical
officer onco jestingly rcmnrkod that every
honest man was supposed to havo a tuft of
hair In tho palm of his right hand. Soottod
Tall said: "I used to havo lots of hair In
my hands, but I wore It all oft shaking
with tho whites."
Spotted Tall wna a character, that can
never bo duplicated. Tho encroachment of
civilization has stamped out the aboriginal
typo of Indian, Spotted Tnll made several
visits to Omaha during the prime of his
regime and ho was always the center of
much attraction. He wns of magnificent

According to recent treasury bulletins, re
ports tho New York Sun, tho revenue from
tho sale of postngo stamps, stamped en
velopes and po3tnl cards In tho United States
during tho quarter ending Jnnunry, I, 1900,
was $21,300,000, Indicating a revenue for tho
whola fiscal yenr of nearly JtOO.UOO.OOO. For
ho last fiscal year ending July 1 tho postal
receipts wcro $95,000,000. Tho year beforo
that they were $S!.000.000, nnd tho year be
foro that they wero $82,000,000. They havo
been Increasing yearly from $11,000,000 nt
tho close cf tho civil war to $33,000,000 In
1SS0 and $00,000,000 In 1S00.
t'nllko tho practlco In most other coun
tries, tho postal business in tho United
States Is operated not as a means of profit-
making, but ns a public convenience, and tho
custom of tho government Is, whenever, ns
sometimes happens, tho postal revenues ex
ceed tho expenditures, to make n reduction
n tho postal charges or nn Increase In tho
number of deliveries or an enlargement of
tho districts served by carriers In order
that tho postofficc should be, as nearly as
practicable, about self-supporting, with,
perhaps, a small loSs on the government
side. In other countries, however, no such
rule prcvnlls and the postal business Is re
garded ns a legltlmato source of public rev
enue ns nro taxes on certain specified
monopolies which go to tho enrichment of
the government. Indeed, the United States
Is tho only Important country In the world
which docs not make and apparently does
not seek to make a profit on Its postotfico
business. Tho Argentine Republic, Uul
garla. Uruguay, Bosnia and Slnm run their
postal buslnoss nt a loss for the reason,
perhaps, that losses aro unavoidable. Great
Uritnln, for Instance, taken In from Its post-
offices 12,000,000 a year, tho equivalent of
$60,000,000, nnd expends JCS.000.000 a year,
showing n net prollt of $20,000,00. It should
lie said, perhaps, In part explanation of this
that the distances In Great Britain compared
with thoso In tho United States nro very
short: that few letters or packuges aro de
livered at a loss; that tho means of com
munication nro moro gcnernlly uniform, that
tho number of newspapers distributed by the
Knglish poetolllce Is materially late than tho
number In the United Stntes, and that letter
nostngo Is tho most profitable branch of the
business. In tho United States tho rate of
postage Is tho samo from Now York to
Ilrooklyn as It Is from Now "iork to fani
Francisco, nnd In many parts of tho west
and south tho delivery of a single letter, for
which the government receives 2 cents, costs
50 cents.
KnEland Is not, however, the only country
In which thero Is n largo profit In the postal
business, Franco making In a year from this
sourco of public revonuo $10,000,000 and
Germanv $8,000,000. What is more curious
perhaps. Is tho fnct that Spain. In which
thrift Is not tho universal government ruic
makes $2,500,000 on Its po3tofllco department
tho ordinary letter In Spain being 5 cents,
Hungary makes a profit of $2,000,000 on Its
postal system, nrltlsh India and uoigium
$1,800,000 each, Austria $1,000,000, Japan
$1,000,000, Holland, $750,000, Turkey $COO,000,
Switzerland $500,000, Portugal $350,000, Now
Zealand $350,000, Sweden $250,000, Denmark
$100,000 and Greece $23,000. It Is inferred
by some persons that In vlow of tho length
and complexity of Greek names that charges
for extra postago In that country must ac
count for tho prollt of $25,000, ns communica
tion between Greeks by letter la very rare.

O. Morltz Zepp of Westminster, Mary

three years, and with marked success es

ten to fifteen minutes. I bellovo It to bo the

For reasons which they are not yet willing
to disclose, the Independent makers, who
produco about 60 per cent of nil the bicy
cles In tho United States, seem perfectly
pleased with the progress of events In the
suit of the blcyclo trust against n New
Kugland concern for Infringement of tho
famous Smith bottom bracket patent. If
tho contention of the trust people wcro sus
tained It would bo Impossible to manufac
ture a blcyclo without Infringing their
patent or paying them a royalty, tho
amount of which Is so exorbitant as to
mako Its payment by a great many of the
makers Impossible.
When tho Cytio Trades Protective asso
ciation wns organized it was supposed that
tho trust would commence suit against ono
of Its members so that tho case might bo
tried on Its merits. Instead, however, tho
big organization selected n concern which
had declined to become a jieraber of tho

tho minds of the trado suspicion as to tho
Genuineness of tho contest.
If this movo was designed to weaken the

Tho trust, therefore, has everything to gain
by hurrying a flnnl hearing. Tho attor

now believed that at least thrco years will

Tho authorities of the atato of Georgia evi
dently do not intend to permit tho companies
which now form tho bicycle trust to tr.ko ad

of evading the state taxes. Uvery blcyclo

tho blcyclo trust tendered a check for $100,

by tho way, there nro about four to every

Tho Minneapolis Cycle Path association

The abandonment of raco control by tho
l.t-ague of American Wheelmen Is warmly
commended by newspapers which tako an
interest In cycling affairs. It la regarded as
a dcclsivo blow at tho hangers-on and hypo
dromors who sacrificed tho wclfuro of tho
organization for their own gain. It was In
fact a revolutionary step made necessary by
tho wholesale withdrawal of wheelmen from
tho organization. Withdrawal was tho only
effective means of protest, nnd tens of thou
sands of wheelmen in that way rebuked tho
management for perverting tho purpose for
which It was founded. "Tho action," an
tho Chicago Chronicle, "restores tho league
to Its old and honorablo position ns an or
ganization for tho advancement of tho Inter

rooters. A committee of flvo named by tho
assembly has the fato of eoveral radical

national headquarters in New York City.
Another radical movo that Is said to bo
probable Is that of cutting off tho list of ex
officio delegates, so that active men, elected
as being representative, will bo In control,
and tho chances of tho national legislntlvo
body being ruled by a set of 'has bcena'
with axes to grind and having the balnnco
