BARKER , ED. and Prop Old Chief Rpd Cloml Gives Name and Ble s > ing. Last summer when young Will Jorj don , son of Colonel Charles P. Jordon of Rosebud Agency , S. D. , returned to the reservation after spending six months in Omaha attending a busi ness colkge , he was welcomed in his South Dnkota home as the son of the white man who probably has more influence over the Sioux Indians than any other person. But at the beginning of 1903 , when' the same young man returned to- Omaha .to finish his schooling , he left the reservation not as Will Jordan but as ' 'Red Cloud" being the lirst person whom the old chief , Red < 'loud , ' ' permitted to be named alter himself Readers of the World-Henild will j probably remember the story which ( * appeared in this paper some months j 2 ago of the romantic marriage of Colc ' onel Jordan and Wee Was Te , the , l Sioux princess , and the interesting family they have reared on the South Dakota Indian agency , Young Red Cloud is tne second son of this marS riage , and according to the Indian j custom , when IS years of age , was given the Indian name by which he will be known among the Sioux the balance of his life. It is customary among the Indians to give the child a temporary name ; the permanent name being given them when 18 years old. But when c the second name ia given , it must be 1 with the consent qf the warrior for whom the young man is named. c Although , as the head of the Sioux tribe , Red Cloud has of ten been asked to permit a young warrior to use his illustrious name , the old chief always refused , insisting that in hia own c time , and when he found one worthy to bear the name of Red Cloud , he would consent. That time came last summer when the infirm old chief paid his last visit to Colonel Jordan , of whom he is very fond. At that time he made known hia in tention of bestowing his name upon the colouel's son , Will. The ceremonies attached to the transfer of names were performed on c July 4 , in the presence of thousands of Sioux Indians and ended by the I man , who had just received his ' 'war- j I rior" name , persenting some cherish0 efl article of value to a friend. Younu ' - Red Cloud gave away a apleneid pony of. which he was very proud and fond , to a friend , and the cermoniea were completed. The accompanying photograph of young Red Cloud was made while he wore the "scalp coat" of the famous Endian chief , Spotted Tail , a kinsman of Wee Was-Te , Mra Jordan. There ) are no acalps of white persona used on the coat , all of them being taken from f Crow Indians during the many years ; of war between that tribe and the Sioux. Old Spotted Tail waa very . proud of this evidence of hia bravery . and prowess. ( Spotted Tail was kill ed many years ago by Crow Dog , in a flt of jealousy. Crow Dog remains i on the reservation and is alive today. ) Juat how many "scalps were uaed in malting the fringe , wWpb down the sides and along the arms , cannot be * told , but undoubtedly * great number of Crows went to death before Spotted Tail finished the coat. The young man will finish his busi ness education in Omaha ( his regular schooling was at the hands of a pri- yate tutor whom Colonel Jordan has kept in his family for years ) and then return to the reservation to assist his father in his store , the largest and most interesting of the kind in South Dakota or the west.

A young doctor , wishing to make a good impression on a German , farmer , mentioned the fact that he had received a double education , as it were. He had studied home opathy and also that he was a grad uate of "a regular medical school. " " Oh dot vas noddings , " said the farmer. "I had vonce a calf wot sucked two cows and he made noth ing but a common schteer after ill. " Ex. An Indian owed a Blair mer chant , and the other day he came to pay , and wanted a receipt. In rain the merchant told him a re ceipt was unnecessary. "Me must have to show me owe white man nothing , " said the Indian. "Me go to heaven , the Lord ask Indian he pay debts. Indian says yes. Lord asks him were is receipt. What can Injun do ? Can't go all over hell to look for you ? " He sot the receipt. Herald.

Melton , a good honest farmer of North Table was in town luesday and called on us to ex- bend his subscription to the Derno- srat. Mr. Melton says stock and people are doing well in his neigh borhood and was cheerful because f the fine weather and good con- lition sf stock. * The Greatest ol its Kind. The excellent record of the"Mer- jantile"is attracting1 much attent- on. It now has in Nebraska over seven thousand policy holders and ver six million dollars of insur ance in force. It has annually for iiveyears on an average declared o its policy holders a div- .dend of 15 to 20 per cent ; that is , .t has saved in cost to its policy liolders that much. There is no nan but what would like to be in business that would yield him 20 per cent profit. The Mutual In- The Mutual Insurance people of the state can be proud of the fact that Nebraska has within its board ers some of the very strongest Mutual companies in the world , Many both farm and city whose poli- cies are as good as gold anywhere and the reputation of which goes unquestioned. Among the number none are better than the Farmers Mutual DInsurancc Company and The Nebraska Mercantile Mutual Insurance Company , both of Lin coln , and the Trans-Mississippi Mutual iFire Association of Oma ha , and our readers should carry in these companies all of the insur ance they can place with them up to the full amount desired. No person claims but that in case of loss they are fairly treated and when the amount is agreed upon , paid promptly. The Mutual In surance Journal. These companies arc represent ed by I. M. Rice of Valentine. In these companies together with the German Mutual of Omaha he has written thousands of dollars of in surance for people in Valentine , Crookston , Cody , Merriman , Gordon , Wboklake and through out Cherry Co. There has never been a question as to the reliability of these mutual companies and those holding policies in them can testify to the saving in cost of in surance. There should be no dis crimination against them because they have saved thousands of dol lars to policy holders , and insur ance rates have been lowered 25 per cent by virtue of the existence of these companies , in which even those opposed to mutual insurance have profited. They insure city and farm property , school houses and churches. A newspaper man is an omcny to bulletin board advertising on general principles , but there are occasions when a bulletin board may bring better results than a paper. The editor of an exchange remarks that he observed one in front of a store in his city not long ago , which read : " B 4 U Buy Pants Come in and See Ours. " He went in and there was not a con founded man clerk in the store , so X lie bought a fan and walked out. Holt County Independent. Tlie Kid Gambler. One evening in September I alighted from a train , That town I will remember The slush , the jrloom ; the rain. While huntingfor a lodging In a pool hall I did step , And the sight that met my vision 1 never will forget. Around a gambling table Were men of everv degree , While from their midst a handsome youth Came stepping up to me , Saving I see you are a stranger Won't vou come and have a game ? [ am proprietor of this house Jolly Kid Gambler by name. Declining the youth's offer , I said I'd vatch a while ; And then among those ruHians He went bacic with a smile ; Deal after deal the cards went round Silver and gold he won. Some exchanged dark glances Others played silently on. I'll open this jack for fifty One of the ruffians spoke. When the boy cried out I'll double the bet. And win it or go broke , I say Kid you are cheating Spnke up a sullen tough , I.'U tell vou now this kind of thing las gone quite far enough. ' The vouth then in bis anger Said he would rout the band , Jndertook to take the money But a bullet staved his hand A blinding flash of fire , A groan of deadly pain , And the jolly youthful gambler , Was numbered with the slain. They took up their money , and rushed out in the night , Left me alone with the dving boyj And oh God what a sight. He staggered to bis feet but once Back on the table fell , Saving come quick lower stranger My story to you I'll tell. Somewhere I have a mother , O , find her if vou can Twas for the sake of finding her , i stole the winning hand. Tell her had she loved her child , ' As other mothers's do , [ never would have been here , * } tk yqy , To talk so of my mother I know it is not right. But stranger she deserted me Ten years ago tonight. With her I went out walking" , i This ni ht ten years ago 1 Ah then I was a little child , m And wrong t did not know. She left me at a corner Ah str.inger cant you see ? Why I'm dying here alone She never came back to me , They to-jk me to the poor house But long I did not stay , They treated me so badly there That soon I ran away. Tell her I first tried honest-woik But they said I was too small , and then I learned to gamble , And opened up this hall. But lately luck's been against me And I wanted to find her so That I stole the winning hand to night , And stranger the rest you know. I only stole the joker , And had they but let me play I would have quit this reckless life , And lived the honest way. His vcice grew faint and fainter He tried ro raise his head , One long , long sigh escaped him The gambling boy was dead. We purchased him a collin A small dark wooden box , O mother heart where are you While moulds those golden locks Mrs. Mollie Simmons. The Commoner , Mr. .Bryan's paper will be especially interesting and in structive during the present session of congress. The action of this congress will probably determine the issues up on which the next presidential cam paign will be fought. The Commoner proposes to carry on a campaign of ed ucation and organization to the end that democratic' principles may triumph. In addition to the editorial depart ment , which receives Mr. Bryan's per sonal attention , the Commoner con tains a Current Topic department , wherein a non-partisan discussion of topics of timely interest and other val uable information will fce found. The Home Department is conducted by an experienced woman who is widely known as a writer of household topics and who is an authority on the art of cooking in all that the term implies. This department alone is-worth the subscription price. The other depart ments of this paper are all interesting and ably conducted , am ong which is a summary of the world's news told in narrative style , and Mr. . Maupm's de partment Whether Common or Xot contains original anecdotes' and wit , moral lessons in homely phrase and verse , and appeals to old and young alike. The Commoner as a whole is clean. entertaining and instructive , and its rapid increase in circulation now amounting to 140,000 is proof of tho paper's strength and influence. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Bryan whereby The Commoner can be supplied at a very low rate with THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT , both pa pers for one year for SI.63. This offer applies to both new and renewal sub scriptions , and should be taken advant age of without delay. All orders should be sent to I. M.

Congressman Holliday of Indiana tells the Sentiriel's Washington corrc * spo'.ident that he "takes-no stock in llm talk that the tariff is the mother of trusts. " On the contrary , he asserts that "we would have had the same trusts under a free trade policy. " . Conceding for thd" sake of the argii- nient that Mr. Holliday actually be lieves what he says as to the existence of trusts , he certainly cannot deny that the tariff gives the trusts the oppor tunity to extort higher prices from the American consumer. This may be il lustrated by the price of-borax. There is a borax trust In this country and likewise one in Great Britain. In Eng land borax is selling at 2 % cents a pound , with a profit to the trust. In this country it is selling at 7 % cents a pound. " The American tariff on boras Is 5 cents a pound. 'There can bo no possible explanation of the difference except that the tariff wall enables the American trust to exact this additional 5 cents from the consumer. Nobody denies that most trust made products are sold cheaper abroad than at home. It was freely conceded be fore the Industrial commission. John W. Gates of the steel and wire trust testified in November , 1S90 , that steel and wire goods were sold cheaper to foreigners than to American consum ers. Charles M. Schwab , president of the steel trust , testified in May , 1001 , that all kinds of manufactured goods were sold cheaper for export than for the home market. A. B. Farquhar , the agricultural implement man , said , "Certainly our manufactures are sold much lower abroad. " Why ? There can be but one answer , and that is that by excluding foreign competition from our markets we have enabled the trusts to monopolize them and to put prices far above the point 'of reasonable profitsr Indianapolis Sentinel.
