With ono exception tho largest dis
tributing point for ngrlculturnl implements
In tho United States and thereforo iu the
world, tho city of Omaha, with tho ad
dition of tho bouses in Council Bluffs, has
been In tho trudo on n largo basis only a
comparatively short time. Tho II ret houso
opened In tho torrltory Is yet In existence
on either sldo of the river.
Thj oldest houso is tho l'loneer Imple
ment company of Council IlluffB. It was
established at tho close of the war, Hon.
(leorgo V. Llnlngor bolng ono of tho foun
ders. When this houso was llrst opened
for business utock was brought from tho
factories on steamboats. At first tho initial
point was St. Louis, but later they wcro
shipped to St. Joseph by rail, whoro they
woro loaded on boats for delivery here.
There was ono notable exception to this
line of t radio and that was In tho Item of
wagons. When tho railroad had been com
pleted as far hb Kddyvllle, which for sev
crul yours during tho war was tho western
terminus, wagons wero shipped to that
point. Thoro thoy woro set up and at
taahud to ono anothor en train, a number
of teams being hitched to tho front wagon
nnd tho train pulled across tho prnlrles
of Iowa to tho western border.
Tho first Implement houso on tho river
nt this point handled a general line of
goods nud has continued to do so to this
tlrao. Along In tho early '70a Mr. Llnliigcr
retlrod from tho Council UluiTs houso and
established tho llrst implement houso on
tho west sldo of tho river, which is still
in existenco and Is ono ot tho leading
houses In tho United States, handling prob
ably as largo a lino as any other Individual
bouse in tho country. This houso was for
a long tlmo tho bnly establishment on tho
west side of tho river, dividing trade with
tho fow houses which then oxlsted In
Council IMuffs. At that tlmo tho center
of Implement distribution was in tho atato
of Illinois, which Is now the center ot their
manufacture. '
'rrnnalrr Hoimea Come Early.
Aside from this ono house the first to
entor business In this territory wero what
wero known n "transfer" bouses. A gen
eral ngent was given charge of tho terri
tory and a number of men placed under
him. Thoy sent their, orders to Omaha,
whence thoy were forwarded to tho main
office, tho Omaha houso carrying only a
small lino to be used whoro Immediate
delivery was demanded. This system was
followed until about 1883, when the Illinois
manufacturers found that transfer houses
wero no longer adequato to handle the
business, ns tho trade was so largo that
full lines wero required. Then many Arms
oponcd brancboH In Omaha and ono or two
Independent houses wero established.
Tho history of the early Implement trndo
In this territory is a story of Indomnltable
push, nt times facing what appeared to bo
certain disaster. There wero grasshoppers
and drouth in northorn Kansas nnd crop
failures in Nebraska, which turned back
upon tho retail dealers largo numbers of '
machine which wero paid for only In part.
The retail dealers in turn missed payment
of their obligations and tho wholesale deal- t
ers were forced to carry tho burden. This I
did not last long, as with tho settlement
of tho country tho people came to know tho
nature of tho climate and tho soil, so that
thoy no longer attempted to make farms
from sandhills or upon tho ueml-arld lands.
For the last ten years tho lot of the
wholesale dealer In Implements In this ter
rltory has been fairly good. Truo. there
havo been times when sales wero slow and
collections hard, but these have beon more
than counterbalanced by'ttines of grcnlcst
prosperity. Farmers nre now buying for
cnnh nnd with largely Increased sales the
number of collectors has been so greatly
reduceil that some of the houses employ no
ono regularly In that capacity, stndlng a
man from tho houso In cases requiring at
tention. Ti-nde HrnchrH Km Mntlniiim,
It Is said that the trado nt Omaha, and,
In fact, nt nil Missouri rlvor points, In this
line has reached Its maximum under exist
ing conditions. It Is estimated that the
business for 1901 approximates $8,000,000 In
value, and that this Is all that the territory
tributary to this city can consume undor
normal conditions; that tho Increaso In tho
business of ono houso will mean that others
havo declined correspondingly. This condi
tion, which Is recognized by many of the
dealers, makes uvery wholesale implement
man a firm advocate of government control
of Irrigation plants fcr the arid aid semi-
arid lands. There are millions of acres of
theso lands in the territory tributary to
Omaha, which when Irrigated will bring
hundreds of buyers ot machinery to this
market, and the futuro growth ot the trade
of this city is believed to depend upon tho
establishment of irrigating plants.
There aro now In Omaha and Council
Bluffs about seventy-five recognized dealers
in agricultural Implements. These houses
range In size and Importance from tho desk
of a general agent In tho corner of some
offlco to a houso carrying a full Una of gen
eral Implements, representing a capital f
$1,000,000. Of the full line houses there aro
eleven on both Bides of the river, eight In
Omaha and three in Council Illufts. Of
bouses carrying special lines, with stocks In
tho two cities, thoro nro twenty-two. Somo
ot theso special line stocks nro as valuable
as tho stocks ot general lino houses, but
nre confined to cultivators or reapers or
threshing machines. From this It wilt bo
seen that tho number of general agents who
sond orders to be filled to the castorn
houses Is still far In excess of tho number
of regular dealers; and this In the mind of i
somo of tho membors of tho trade Is Just '
causo for complaint, ulthough It Is pleasing ,
to tho regular dealer to nolo that tho buy- i
ers in the territory aro generally more apt
to buy from regular houses than through I
the general agent. This Is shown by the
record of ono house, which has no connec
tion outsldo'of Omaha, standing Independent
and purchasing tho goods It sells exclu
sively, carrying overythlng a farmer needs.
It Is estimated thnt this houso did 10 per
cent of the business of tho city Inst year In
this lino and that the larger part of tho re
mainder was dono by four or five houses
whoso stocks aro always In tho two cities,
leaving only a small pnrt to bo divided
among the numorous general agents.

NIOBRARA, Neb.. Feb. 1. (Special Cor
respondence of Tho Uco.) Sheriff Robinson
ot Knox county has locked up In the county
Jail nt Niobrara tho muterlal for u good
Sunday school story. Tho Bee's corre
spondent knows from experience that chil
dren, and often the grown folks, too, won
der where nil tho stories nnd lessons
printed In tho Sunday school leaf corao
from and what kind of persons wrlto them. ,
This Is speaking for tho whlto people, but j
no doubt the red wards ot tho government
aro Just as curious. I
Tho Congregational mission schools nt 1
Santco agency, under tho prlncipalshlp of
Rev, A. U Rlggs, employ a great number
of teachers, both whlto nnd red. Last
Hummer ono of ho red teachers, n full
blooded Sioux Indian, was arrested and
tried In tho district court for Knox county.
No matter what the offense charged, ho
was found guilty nnd sentenced to pay a
certain sum of money. Our noblo red man
reasoned nnd who Bhall say that ho did
not reason rightly? that If ho paid this
money ho would acknowlcdgo his guilt.
Therefore, he said: "I will dlo in Jail bo
foro I will pay tho fine." In consequenco
of which ono of tho teachers In tho mis
sionary schools at Ranteo agency looks
through tho bars of tho Knox county Jail.
Illntory of llm I'rlNiinrr,
The Bee correspondent know something
of, tho history of this man, so ho obtattiod
permission from Shorltf Robinson to Inter
view the prisoner.
Hu-pa-co-ka-maza (Iron Wing) Is a full
blooded Sioux Indian, but since his con
version to tho church he has taken the
name of Ell Abraham. In 1863 he went
with his trlbo from Red Wing, Minn., to
Crow Creek ngency, South Dakota, whore
they remained three years, coming to
Niobrara In ISfiS. In the winter of that
year over 1,000 Indians ramped on Bazlle
creek who wero on tho move to different
parts of the country.
The Santce Sioux remained where they
now aro nnd our friend, Iron Wing, who
was of a religious turn, entered the Pres
bytcrlnn church nnd becamo a teacher
under Dr. Williams, now of Yankton ngency,
Two years later most ot tho Indians de
serted tho Presbyterians and went over to
tho Congregatlonallsts, who .wero building
up a flno mission at Santco.
Tho system of having tribal chiefs was
abolished about that time, Chief Wa-ba-shaw
having died, nnd tho different Sioux
trlbestadopted tho custom of olectlng coun
oilmen, Iron Wing was mado ono of the
two head councllincn In 1882 and was sent
to Washington by his trlbo with a petition
to tho secretary of the Interior, asking
thnt tho Santces bo permanently located
at tho place they then occupied. Prcsldont
Hayes, learning that ho wns an educator,
had him shown through tho great schools
at Hampton and Carlisle.
Ho has mado a I Ifo study of missionary
work, being secretary of tho Indian Mis
sionary society for twenty years, taking
turns at directing tho work of tho different
missionaries and doing field work himself.
WHO- Sunrtnj- Sclionl l.rnnonii.
One of his duties under Dr. Rlggs at
Santeo is to preparo tho Sunday school
loallctK for tho Sioux people, and since his
confinement In Jail ho has been furnished
with writing material, and now each week
tho copy for tho regular Sunday school les
son Is forwarded to the printer at Santce,'
where it Is printed In tho Sioux languago
nnd ncnt out to tho different schools, and
tho llttlo red pupils may, llko their whlto
brothers and sisters, wonder where they
come from nnd who writes them, but they
would probably never guess that Iron
Wing, their Instructor, talks to thnni
through tho bars of tho dingy little Jail at
Niobrara.
Asked If he ever participated In tho hunt,
Iron Wing replied:
"Whon I am a young man I am called a
good hunter. I go to the Jim rlvor In Da
kota nnd many times I kill tho buffalo."
"Did you bnvo a good rltlo to kill tho
buffalo with?"
"No, 1 havo tho gnn, what you call It?
tho double gun. I put n big ball in it. Lit-,
tie balls never kill tho buffalo. Big one
kill him every tlmo. Sotnotlmo It almost
kill me. It Jump back,"
"Did tho buflnlo over got after you?"
"Always I have a good horse. I am a
good shot then. Every time I kill one when
I shoot. Tho buffalo know which one wn
pick nut to kill. Somcttmo that one will
get mad nnd chase us."
"Then do you run?"
"The horse Is scared when the buffalo la
mad. One tlmo, I nearly got killed It I
don't get In a lake. The buffalo cannot fol
low me thero."
Iron Wing has beon murrlcd thrco times,
each time in the church. His last wife Is
living with her brother on Lost creek, cast
of Niobrara, and the only tlmo tho Jailer
has heard n complaint from Iron Wing wns
Just after tho great snowstorm last week,
when he said: "1 feel sorry for my family.
If someone don't come to them they will be
in a bad fix last night. My boy Is only 1'
years old and ho cannot go out In tho-storm
and work."
