Historical Society Seeking Site of Old Pawnee Town I fieut'?{ke ^jjjg ■ a i - . At the meeting of the Nebraska State Historical society in Lincoln, January 13 and 14, A. T. Hill of Haatings will attempt to establish the point where L^eut. Zebulon M. Pike, In 1806. ordered down the Spanish flag and ran up the colonial colors as the site of an old Pawnee village on the south bank of the Republican river In Webster county, Nebraska. This la about six miles west of Guide Rock and an equal distance east of Red Cloud, If Hill's proofs are conclusive. It will mean that the granite shaft, erected September 30, 1901. by the state of Kansas. In Republic county. Kansas, about six miles south of the Nebraska line, was mislocated. The monument Is 26 feet high and stands, visible for tniles around. In the center of a 10-acre tract, and Is enclosed by an Iron fence. It bears the Inscription: Erected by the Stale of Kmiwi, 19(11. To mark the Kite of the Pawnee Republic, where Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike Caused the SpanUh flag to he lowered anil the ties of the United State* to be raised September 29, 180(1. At the time of the dedication of the Pike monument.•members of the, Nebraska Historical nociety, Including Its representative at the ceremony, expressed doubt whether Kansas hail really found the true site of the Pawnee village, mentioned In Lieu tenant Pike's narrative and the notes of the expedition jiubllshed by Dr. Elliott Coues, scholar and geographer. New Information. Now Hill, who has a hobby for his torlcal study, declares he has un earthed facts to establish the identlly of an old Indian village In Nebraska. 30 miles from the Kansas site, as the real spot, where Pike's deed should be commemorated. In 1922 Hill first observed evidences of a large Pawnee village on the south bank of the Republican river, half way between Guido Rock and Red Cloud. He discovered that 200 earth lodges had once marked the site. The village covered 160 acres and had perhaps 2,000 Inhabitants. By excavations In the village and the exhuming of severnl skeletons, he ascertained that the village existed both before and after the period of trade contact with white men. fltudieil Country, Last summer IIII1 made a searching study of ths country between the Re publican and Arkansas rivers. He wss sided by a large map of Kansas and a copy of the Pike expedition, with I>r. Coues’ notes, and a map made by Lieutenant Pike. Lieutenant Pike’s diary gives the direction pur sued by his command day by day, the number of miles traveled, a general description of the region, with the prlncl|>al topographical features and the plnces where his camps were made. Between October 18 nnd October 23, 1924, Hill, accompanied bv Super intendent Sheldon of the Nebraska Historical society, went over the route traveled by Lieutenant Pike In 1806. They Journeyed from the old Indian village near Guide Roek, Neb., south across the counties of Jewell, Mitchell, Lincoln, Ellsworth and Bar ton, Kansas, and returned north from the crossing of the Hrnokey Hill rivet near Hnllnn, Kan., north ftrrnss the counties of Saline, Ottawa, Cloud, Mitchell, Jewell and Republic to the present site of the Kansas Pike monument, and then across country to ths true site of the Pike Pawnee village in Webster county, Nebraska. Ths findings of this expedition nnd the story of his study will be told by Hill before the Nebraska .Stale His torlcal aoclely In Jnnuaiy. r -;j. ■ Old.

Nahraika \ Tax Publicity Battle Starts i Parly Lines to Be Split on Re peal Efforts in Congress. Washington, Nov. 22.—Lines were being drawn today for a first class scrap in the coming session of con gress over the publicity clause of the income tax law. The arrival of members in great numbers has afforded leaders on both sides an opportunity to count noses, and from present indications it appears that party lines will he badly spilt add the Issue closely drawn. The attempt to wipe the section off the statute book, It appears may even result ultimately In the enactment of even more drastic publicity regula tions. The Insurgents who accepted the present regulations as a compro mise originally proposed that In come tax returns be made public docu ments In entirety. The present clause, making public only the payment made, was adopted over the protests of the Insurgents, who finally voted for It. Norris for Publicity. Senator Norris, republican of Ne braska, one of the Insurgent leaders, today gave warning that the progres sive bloc would seek more drastic publicity provisions if the administra tion opens the repeal fight. "If any group undertakes to repeal the existing clause," Norris said, "I shull make an effort to pass my origi nal amendment. It provided that all Income tax returns should be public documents, open to public inspection at all times. I would rather favor re peal of the present clause because it would give us an opportunity to en act a real publicity law." Norris also defended the news papers who published the payments of income tax payers. Intended for Publication. "It was my intention In sponsoring the original amendment to provide for the publication of these returns, " he added. “In my opinion congress had the same purpose in enacting the present clause. I don’t believe the newspapers violated any law In pub lishing the amount of tax." The administration move to repeal the clause will start In the house. If any delay Is encountered there the drive will be transferred to the sen ate. FIREMEN CALLED 5 TIMES IN 3 HOURS.

Damage was slight. 7 Bachelor Reporter of The Bee Slips Into Style Show and Staggers Out BY SANFORD JARRRL.L. A young woman, beautiful of complexion, cherry-colored lip*. eyes like the blue depths of a great salt lake, said firmly: "No gentlemen admitted.” I bowed politely, for I was told in my youth to be polite to all woman kind. So I ducked up a flight of sfciirs and found myself on a little balcony overlooking the ball room of the Hotel Fontenelle. The ballroom was crowded. Sev eral hundred Omaha w omen had conic to listen to Madam Antoinette, style expert of London, Paris and Seville, and to hear her explain how one, on a moderate income, can dress in style. M.v gaze fell upon the stage below mostly occupied by Madam Anted nette. By her side was a pretty bru nette In a corset and what-not. I blushed. I ducked behind a cur tain. Who was I, a mere bald headed bachelor, a man who had never won the love and affection of any woman .' Who was I, I repeat? Nobody. So I slunk further behind the curtain so my gaze did not rest upon the young woman in a pink silk something, the denomination of which I could not fathom. Madam Antoinette went on: "Cleanliness is paramount. Kx press your hatred and annoyance ol that horrible animal, the skunk. Nothing is so bad as the use of cheai perfumes." I gasped. I tried to run out, for 1 knew X had no business there, but the entrances were barred. "Stay out of barber shops,” came the commanding voice of Madam An toinette. The good news checked my struggles at the door. I turned back to see a model In a light green slip. As a bachelor re porter, J had never before seen a comely young woman in a light green slip. I was dazzled. I observed Madam Antoinette with a pair of shears do wonders with a sheet of cloth. She put a garb on the model that made me say my prayers. Madam Antoinette said that Omaha women should not take any special heed of the length of gowns. It Is purely a matter of legs, she said. And ankles. With this, the reporter, who scarce ly knew a next ankle, a well turned leg, when he saw one, turned purple. I leaped over the balcony, shrieked loudly, and disappeared. Why? You should ask me. , Mariam Antoinette. r»_ _ ADVERTISEMENT.
