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.

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.

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.
