Seen the new ad of Max Dusterhofv
in thi issue of the Journal, which is
a calling of the attention of users
of varnish, and paint to the fact of
decay where they e.lb-w the surface
of the wood, to become exposed. The
care of homes by pa: in and bamish
is fur th; pT'-ervation of the mater
ials used in'c- ustraction. His theory.
rtnd quite correct, is "Save tiie surface
and you save all. paint and varnish."

The town board last Friday even
ing held an important meeting at the

that the purity of the citizenry might
not become contaminated by the re
gretted practices which have tran

HAS A REAL INDIAN
PIPE OF PEACE
John Cory of This City Has Gift of
a Genuine Indian Peace Tire
Made bv Omaha Chief.
From Thursday's Daily.
A few days ago John Cory, propri
etor of the Perkins hotel, received a
present from his son-in-law, M. H.
Hrantner of Pender, of a real Indian
peace pipe that is one of the finest
pieces of work of its kind in the 5t:M'
and every bit of which was the worh
of Hie leaders cf the Omaha tribe
which is now located on tire reserva
tion near Pender.
The pipe is a beauty and its age is
estimated at seventy-live years as
far as can be ascertained from the
stories of the Indians who have been
familiar with the history of the Oi.;r
ha tribe.
The pipe was the handwork I
Chief Little P.ow Walker, one of the
leaders of the Omahans and shoe's
careful construction and mtteh care.
The howl is of red pipest:me and
beautifully modeled while the sUm
is from a wood handed down from
several generations of Indians tor
the express use of making the trsbnl
pipes of peace. The pipe is trimr.iol
with streamers and beaded work a;;i
makes a beautiful piece of art work
of the original American. With the
pipe goes the pouch, that is the work
of the wife of Chief Little How. and
the buckskin of the pouch is a ma.,'
of the vari-colored heads that are so
hichly prized by the Indians and one
of the best pieces of work ot its
kind t'aat can be found in this portirm
of the west.
Roth the pipe and pouch have long
been in the possession of the family
of Little Row and came to Mr. Bront
ner from Frank Scott, one of the de
pendents of relatives of the greit
Omaha chief. The value of the pipe
and pouch cannoi be estimated as the
work is much better than any that
can i- secured now owing t'i Use
lack of beads of the proper make
a .id t he owner has several times re
fi'.fcd large sums for the pipe.
