Roast Oi, Hog and Sheep Fill His Ex* pandlng Stomach. CONCOMITANTS PROVIDED Cup*. #!err«r'» (Jrent Treat to lh« In dian* Who Hi4V« li«#n Holding a (.'ongrttM at the Ki|io. Since tho opening day of the expo Hltion, says the Omaha Bee, there have been numerous banquets Riven, but none have bw n enjoyed more by the bidden guests than was the one upon the Indian congress grounds yesterday, whore were congregated the 500 simple and modest children of the mountain, the plain and the forest. The banquet was given by Captain Mercer to tho Indluun’aa an evidence of his appreciation of the services which they have rendered since com ing here to participate In their dances, sham battles unu other tribal festivi ties, which have been enjoyed so much by tho people who have attended the exposition. Wednesday he ordered a big, fat steer, two sheep, two hogs, ten bushels of potatoes, five barrels of ap ples and 1,000 loaves of bread. This provision was sent to the Indian grounds Wednesday night and Sheriff Ktart/.er of Harp county was pressed Into service as head chef. He came and selected Bill l.lddiard as his as ftlHiani anu me lwo men weiii iu worn. They butchered the animals and made ready by preparing to roast the meat ovr a slow fire. The fireplace was built Just south of the adobe house of the Pueblos and the barbecue was I started. All night long the carcasses L of the animals roasted, fried and siz zled over the embers from cords of dry hickory wood and at 10 o'clock yes terday morning the meat was pro nounced cooked to a turn. The po tatoes were put Into huge pans that, bad been used for catching the drip pings from the cooking meat. After the potatoes were bone to a rich brown the spread watt ready for the guests. Over at the warehouse bread was Is sued to the squaws, arid at uu appoint ed signal, without waiting for anyone to say grace, the Indians were called In, the gates to the grounds were closed and all the white people driven from the enclosure, the Indians hav ing previously told Captain Mercer they wanted to eat one meal without being annoyed by spectators. Black Eugle, a Sioux who at one time worked In a slaughter house at the Crow Creek agency, was appointed head carver and allowed to select his as sistants. For this purpose he named Little White Feather, an Oinahan, and I^ong Hear, an Apache. Knife in hand, Black Eagle walked up to the place where the animals were spitted, assigned one of his men to the sheep, the other to the hogs and he taking the beef. (Jeronimo was the first In dian served. He said be wanted i slice of beef tongue and wuh given a large bunk, which he carried away to his tepee In a tin pall. The tongue •was garnished with potatoes. Next came American Horse, who pointed to the beef brisket, saying It was the favorite morsel with him. He got a chunk and plenty of potatoes, after which Little No Heart, who re marked that he had always had a fondness for the rump of a fat steer. This Indian received a couple of pounds of meat out from the por tion indicated, and then came a band of the Wichltas. They all wanted mutton. Tokanwana Jim ordered/for the party and took away a greater portion of one of the hind quarters. 'ITie Rosebud Sioux selected pork and Running Wolf, who had been designat es! as the man to make the choice, took away with him some fifteen pounds of loin. Some of the other notables were giv en the portions which they preferred, but after that it was something of a caleh-as-catch-can, the chief carver and his assistants holding that even Indians ought not to be particular. They Informed the horde about them that every portion of the meat was prime and mat the time for picking out. tender morsels had passed. The judgment of the three men was ac cepted, and from that time until tho bones were picked there was less formality to the carving. In their tepees the Indians enjoyed their feast very much, all having enough, though there was none to spare, as the capacity of an Indian’s stomach is an unknown quantity, hav ing the expanding and contracting powers taat are supposed to go with a rubber bag.

The men will scat ter to the four winds in pursuit of the avocations they were engaged in when the president's proclamation of April 22 called them to arms. Six months has been their time of service. Many of them go back to their positions va cated upon their enlistment. Others, whoso employers were not so patriotic, must seek for work either In this state or go where more promising prospects await them. Some have formed ties of friendship which will last through life. Others leave the service soun d by disappointment of not having got ten to the front. Hie majority of the men are satisfied to leave the service, others prefer to remain, but it Is doubt ful if they will enter the regular serv ice. Others will await the reorganiza tion to see what chance they may have. The final breaking of old ties will oc cur soon and the entire command will bid old Fort Omaha adieu perhaps for ever. They will have their uniforms always to remind them of the summer outing in Chlckamauga park. Many of the officers and men are suf fering from Jaundice or “yellow Jan dera" as they term it. They have turned aa yellow as magnollans and their dispositions have not been sweet ened by the change. Among those who have taken the popular malady are: Lieutenant Colonel Olson, Captain Hayward, Quartermaster Myers, and Lieutenant Schultz. Lieutenant Stew art of Company K sick at his home In Schuyler. Several of the officers have received their certificates of non indebtedness from the government and are correspondingly happy at the pros pect of securing their money. Forcing Attention to I.bw, One of Omaha'8 ministers was rutle ly reminded the other day that when he gave a marriage certificate to the contracting parties the document must bear a ten-cent revenue stamp or It would eot be legal. The minister re plied that the government had lost something over fl on bis work In this line alone, but was promptly Informed that the government never lost any thing, and the parlor In question Is now engaged In figuring up the num ber of certificates he has issued since the law went Into efTect. The officers at the local revenue office say the de cision on this particular point was one of the first rendered and think all the ministers ought to be fully Informed of It by this time. Collector Houtz has decided that the public has had sufficient time to be come acquainted with the provisions of the new revenue law, and will cease parleying with those who evade the law through alleged Ignorance of Us requirements. He has issued summons to some of the cattle commission men In Bouth Omaha to bring their books ! to the office that the amount they owe ; thn government on past transactions muy be footed up and collected. In these cases the tax Is due on the mem orandum of sales issued by the com mission men and which Is accepted by the banks In lieu of checks. Some of the firms there have paid the tax with out question, but others have shown a disposition to resist. Clotting Day at tho Ff poult Ion. October 31st, the time for closing the exposition, will be Omaha day, and preparations are making for a great time. It has been decided that tho mayor shall issue a proclamation des ignating October 31 as a holiday and I calling upon all the people to lay aside business cares and join In cele brating the successful conclusion of the most gigantic enterprise ever un dertaken In the west He will also ask the mayors of neighboring cities to take a similar step, as the comlt tee has no desire to give out the im pression that only Omaha Is entitled to take part In such an occasion. It is cited that many farms had been sold and other property Invested In by eastern parties who had been at tracted to Omaha and adjacent terri tory by means of the exposition. For this reason it Is deemed fitting that all the people In this section of the country be invited to Join hands In the Jubilee celebration. All civic, trade and secret society organizations will be asked to close up such business as they have for that dav and give their time to making the celebration a suc cess, and the retailers' association will be reouested to have all stores dosed at noon for the balance of the day.

'Hie cur tain went down on the final act when the judges finished their work on the fat cattle, hogs and sheep. The Judges completed their work on that portion of the program that had been carried over from the previous day and passed on general purpose breeds of cattle. Merino and I>oraet sheep, Shetland ponies. Angora gouts and swine. So far as premiums are ronremed, most of those on rattel and hogs went to Missouri growers, (’annda took the lead in sheep and Nebraska in horses. The attendance was sll that could have been desired, and even when the weather was the w< rot during the last few days the barns were crowded with spectators, many of whom were stran gers in the city.

Frank James ia !»"» years old. Mis hair la turning gray, but, he ia still as energetic and active us he could ever have been. He is hardly the nmn one would pick out to-day as having been one of the moat notorious of outlaws. He called at Jesse James' cigar stand in the rotunda of the court house tills morning and spent an hour there. *'I am simply here," he said to a re porter, “as a relative and friend of Jesse. I don't know thut there ia any thing that I can do to help him, but I Bin here ami shall stay until after tiie trial." “As a matter of moral support, at least," suggested the reporter. “I don't know,” replied Frank James quickly, hut without ill humor. “Why do you think he should need it?” “It seems to me,” said the reporter, “that any man indicted and about to he tried for a crime u» serious as train robbing, no matter how innocent he might feel himself to he, would feel at least ill at ease about it or worried.” “I don't know why any innocent tnan should feel ill at ease or worried, no matter what he is charged with. When I surrendered and was arrested there were seven indictments for mur der against mo, but I wnsn't nervous. 1 knew that every one of them would be wiped out as fast as wo came to them just as you would wipe the fig ures from a blackboard. “Hut one can’t always toll what n jury will do,” replied the reporter fall ing for support upon a latter day axiom; “no mutter what the testimony is. Aren’t juries often swaye l by ora tory or prejudice or feelings aside from the testimony?” “I don't believe they are,” replied Frank James. “I believe in juries. The jury system Is one of our bulwarks of justice. I believe that nearly all Juries give the men tried before them equal justice according to the law and the evidence before them.” Then he changed the subject, saying: “Somebody who had heard my in dorsement of the administration in the conduct of the lata war, asked me one day this fall if I had become a Re publican. I replied that 1 had not. Rut I told him I'll believe old General Joe Wheeler above any man on earth, and I believe my boy who is now in the regular army and got as far as Tampa. There's the authority of the highest and the lowest, end it's good enough for me. McKinley is my Presi dent, the flag is my tlug and I was an outlaw to the Union for four years and to the world for flfleen, but this is my countr- ,nd I love it and hun dreds am- tiiousands of detectives and a price of 0,000 on my head couldn't drive me out of it and didn't. Th a is my administration and I'll stami by what it did even if 1 didn’t vote for it. That’s why I let my only boy go into the army. Why, I'll bet some of these soldiers who are doing so much kicking about the treatment they got, got more to oat in the four months that they were in tlie service than thousands of soldiers on both sides in the Knbellion got in four years, and better clothing, if they didn't get spriug bods.” Date tU!l In the I’hlllppln jt.

Wasiiinotom, Oct. 24,—Tho commis sioner of internal revenue has mate rially modified the previous ruling of hi* office an to tliu taxability of re ceipts divert to banka iu place of chucks for money withdrawn from deposit. In accordance with the opinion of the attorney general it la now hold that a receipt given to a bank by a person to whom the hank ia indebted as a depos itor or otherwise, or for whom it holds funds, ia no more subject to atamp than a receipt given for any other debt on demand. The commissioner further auya: "Tito purpose of tlio law ia to re<|uiru stamps upon checks which arc commercial, ne gotiable instruments. A check, how ever, in not required to i»c in any par ticular form, if it lain a form sufficient to constitute an order for the payment of money und assumes the character of a commercial negotiable instrument, then it ia subject to the tux. “There ia much hanking done, espe cially in savings banka, without tile use of checks at all; the dcpoaltor hav ing a-book in which thu banka denote the ainounta deposited on one side And the amounts drawn out on tin* other. Of course the depositor iu such casus draws money out of the hank, hut he does not give a check, so If a person does not give a check lie docs not have to pay tax. If tho bank pays him upon its dues to him and lie gives a receipt, such receipt does not require a stamp; but if he issues his receipt so that it will bo good in tho hands of another person to draw upon ids account for tim amount of it, then it loses the char acter of a receipt and becomes a check und ia subject to tim tax."

Mi'BCOOKK. I. T., Oet. -'4.— According to Federal Judge Springer, there is at present no legal way of punishing u I'reeU Indian for murder or any other offense committed prior to Junuury 1, 1MU8. There is no officer who can lawfully execute a death sentence on a Creek, though he may huvo been enught red handed anil convicted Iteyond the shadow of dculit of killing a fellow being.
