several braves from Pino Illdgo who refuted

the school Inspector solved by allowing

A few weeks ago the school Inspector wos
notified by tho officials at Washington that
tho work nt Pino Hldge Is sufficiently ad
vanced to place It In less experienced hands,
and for that renson they wished him to
transfer to Darlington, Okl., to take ckargo
of tho educatlonnl institution for Indlnns
there. When Mr. Dow Informed the braves
of tho order there was a small mutiny, end
ing In a severe reprimand by tho Inspector.
'You must not rebel against tho word of tho
Great Whlto Father at Washington," he
said. Apparently tho red men had become
reconciled to his departure, but Mr. Dew
obsorved that they still showed sfgns of
disappointment or regret.
Whon the train to Omaha drew out of tho
depot at the station adjacent to Pine Illdgo
on tho day of his leaving Mr. Dew wns
chagrined not to find tho braves ho liked
best among the throng on tho platform to
bid him goodby. Attributing their absenco
to n possible Inability to control their feel
ings, ho asked tho others to Bay a word of
farewell for him nnd then settled back In

suitable for n long Journey. Thero was

tho discussion of subjects In which the
Implement men nro Interested, but there
will be nt the same time nttentlon given

It Is n certainty that the nttendance will

belonging to tho nssorlatlon hnvo signified
their Intention of attending the convention
nnd, besides these, there will bo a large
number of representatives of outside whole

In the Implement business.

Accommodations nt all tho leading hotels
havo been engaged by outside wholesalers,

rious lines of goods handled by Implement
men nnd elaborate exhibits will bo made
by all these. Tho Omaha Jobbers and man
ufacturers will bo not u whit behind their
outside competitors and hnvo also arranged
for making exhibits In hotels nnd available
uptown buildings, besides nrrnnglng to
turn their places of business over to their
visiting guests with the Invitation to "do

It Is anticipated that one of tho most
pleatant features of the convention will be
the banquet which will be tendered tha
local nnd visiting Implement men by the
Commercial club In the club parlors
Wednesday night. This banquet promises
to be largely attended nnd nrrangements
are being perfected which Insure tho com
plete success or mc nunir.
It Is reported that ono of the most Im

WASHINGTON. Jan. C Secretary Boot
has transmitted to the chairman of tho sen-
nto military committee n protest signed by
Clnudo V. Morris, secretary of tho Now
York Stato Veterinary Medical society,
against tho proposed amendment to tho
army bill providing for a corps of veterin
arians. In doing so he sent tho following
explanatory letter:
"WAH DKl'AltT.MU.NT, WASHINGTON,
Jan. 3. Sir: 1 send you herewith n copy
of a letter Just received by mo from tho
secretary of tho New York Veterinary
Medical society, commending tho position
tnken by this department In regard to the
proposal to create n veterinary corps In tho
army.
"Let mo ulso recall to your attention tho
paper which I left with your committee somo
time ago, signed by a number of the chief
veterinarians now In tho service, tnKlng
substantially the samo position. Let mo ro
stnto tho position In order that there may
bo no misunderstanding:
"This department Is not opposed to nilt
nblo recognition of veterinarians. It hns no
serious objection to giving them military
rank, nlthough I do not think It Is n wise
courso to give military rank to civilian em
ployes. What 1 do object to Is a creation of
a new corps with a colonol at tho head re
porting directly to the secretary of war, and
mils neccessnrily creating a now bureau In
the War departmentand a body of olllcera
who, communicating directly with the sec
rotary of wnr through their chief, nro nee
eisarlly independent of tho commanding olll
ccrs of tho cnvnlry regiments and tho horse
nrtlllery organizations. Ono of tho recog
nized defects of our present army organlzn
Hon Is that of suitable command nnd dlvls
Ion of duties and responsibilities between
the olllcers commanding troops nnd tcrrl
torlal departments on tho ono hand, nnd
staff ofllcers responsible to a henil In Wash
Ingtou on tho other. Tho result Is that It
Is Impossible to tlx responsibility for nny
'allure to remedy defects or abuses. Tho
pioposcd organization of a veterinary corps
Is but another step In tho wrong direction
nnd will iucrenso tho evils which ought to
bo remedied. Tho general ofllcer In com
mand of troops ought to bo ablo to hold tho
officers of the cavalry nnd nrtlllery regi
ments responsible for having their orgnnl
za'tlons ready for active and efficient duty
at all times. If the horses of theso or
ganlzations are under the charge of a veter
inary corps, with tho chief reporting to the
secretary of wnr, there can be no such re
sponsthlllty. Glvo the veterinarians rank If
you wnnt to, but I most earnestly urge
that you do not Impose upon us another
bureau of tho Wnr department, another In
dependent corps, another element of dlsln
tcgratlon, divided responsibility nnd const1
qucnt Inelllclcncy. Very respectfully,
