And now tlio Crow Imllium tire going to lone u part of tliolr ronorva- I Ion which IH to lie taUon from llioin and given to tliovlilto people. Tlio high ] i1nt < 'an and uplundtd valloyn of tlio lllg Horn and YullnwHtono rlvorn. where tlio Crown luivo lived nnd roamed nlneo before tlio tlino of hlii tory , liuvo at last boon coded to tliu government and \vlll bo opened for ucltlomont pt nimbly next mtmnior. TlmuRnndH of young inon , nnd old oiioa too , in | for that innttor , throughout - out tlio great fanning Hocllonn of tlio United Statoii , will bo glad to know ilint Undo Sain lu again preparing to linlil onn nf hlfi lilir "nICI illHtrlliutlmtM" of woHtorn landH which fonnorly be longed to the rod inon , and Unit n larger - or nninbor of notllorn pjin bo placed on the Crow landn than on any Indian reservation In the west. No inoro bagatelle of n hundred ncroH , arc contained In thla latest "bunch" of land , but n cool million acres , with tin nddod ono hiindrod thousand , go to make up UIH ! mngnlfl- cent omplro which good old Undo Bam will give to his children for the nuking. Practically , this land will bo cut Into 11,000 lioniOHtoadH of SO acres each , for It In such a character and nature that the regulation homoHtead of 1(10 ( acres will bo divided Into halves and two homesteaders will live on the Hiuno sized farm upon which only ono Is supposed to exist In other parts of the great west. For there will bo no crop failures on the Crow reserve. Every acre of the Immciino domain will bo under the government "ditch" and If old Jupi ter Pluvlus forgets to open the gates of Ida clouds when the moisture Is needed , the fanner will open the gates , of his sluices Instead and the parched land will bo refreshed by tlio waters from Uncle Sam's big Irrigation ditch es. Reserve Glister Battle Field. Although the Crows have always icen friends to the whlto people and oven took arms with their white allies against the Slonx and Choyeiines , yet in the Crow country was enacted the most mysterious and ( for the number of combatants ) bloody battle ever fought the massacre of General Cus- ter and 2iO ( men of the Seventh caval- ry. Hut the brown hill upon which the gallant Custer and his men fouuht iwid died Is not included In the ceded portions of the reservation , but has been net apart by the government as a national cemetery and hero Ho hurlcd.undor an Immonao granite mon- ninent , the bones of those who rode with "Yellow Hair" on that day In 1S7C which saw tlio triumph of Sit ting Hull , Hatn-in-tho-face , Gall and other Slonx and Cheyenne chiefs. Hut the present Crow reservation Is an entirely different land to what It was in those days. Numerous Irrigat ing ditches , built by and for the In dians , have made the wldo river vi . - leys and rich uplands blossom verily like the rose , and have in ado a kind of "promised land" of that country toward which the eyes of settlers from all over the mlddlo west nre turned. The Crow reservation consists of 4,000,000 acres but only 1,100,000 acres will bo given to the whlto people ple next summer. The ceded portions lie north of the old Fort Cnater mili tary reserve nnd include more than 100 miles of the famous valley of the Big Horn river , and nearly 250 miles of the great valley of the Yellowstone only that portion of the Yellowstone valley lying south of the river , however - over , belongs to the Crows. Hut so dry and high Is the Crow country that oven these river valleys must bo Irrigated before crops can bo raised. And the government. Instead of throwing open the reservation for settlement and permitting private companies to build the Irrigating works , has determined to construct the irrigating system Itself and tc prorate the cost among those to whom the homesteads arc given. In thla way the settler Is protected In the use of his water for all time to como , and no ono makes a profit oft his work. For the past year the govornmenl has had engineers on the reserve testing and measuring the water sup ply of the Yellowstone , Big Horn and Other rivers , nnd ascertaining If then Is millldenl water with which to Irri gate tlilti Imnioimo body of land. In diargo of thlH work In Col. U. 8. Stork- ton of tlio U. S. geological mirvoy , and this IH what ho imyii of his Inborn : "Tho How of those ntreamn In no rap id nnd the fall no great that water can bo taken to the highest point on the ceded Iniuln. 10very foot of that land can bo Irrigated and wo have nil the water necessary with which to do the Irrigating. My report will show n per fect network of Irrigating canaln and what In ntlll better , It will nhow where the water to III ! these canaln can bo nocurod. " For novqral months government nur- voyorn have been nt work on the res ervation netting corner ntakos and oth erwise preparing Ilia landn for nettle- nient , but until the olllclnl proclama tion coition from the prenldent , the date of the opening will not bo known. However , It will undoubtedly take place ROIIIO time next summer , prob ably about the mlddlo of .Inly. The Crow Indians nro among the very richest people on the face of the earth and their wealth Is Incre.anlng every day. There nro only 1820 brnvcH , nqunwn and pappooscn In tlio trlbo and these people have .1,000,000 acrea of land , to nay nothing of cattle , Hheop and homes. Under the Hlg Horn ditch , which Irrigates n portion of the Indian lands , are more than 100,000 ncren which the Crown nro en gaged In farming. The hcadgafo of this ditch , built entirely by Indians , In considered the llnost headgato In the United States. An cattle raisers the Crown have few superiors , but it In an breeders of horses that the In dians of this trlbo show tliolr greatest genius. Several years ngo the chair man of the nonato committee on In dian affairs estimated that the Crows owned 72 hornen for every man , wo man and child on the reserve. And such horses. They wore the degen erate offspring of the very wornt In dian ponies that over were rounded ui ) and branded. Hut about that time the Boor-English war came on and the Crown sold thousands of their little scrub ponies to the English to bo tak en to South Africa. And they got good prices , too. Now they nro sup plied with an good grade of horses as can bo found In the west. In fact , from tlio proceeds of these lands which will bo opened next summer , the Crows have arranged to spend nearly ono million dollars In Improvements. Among the larger sums which the In dian council have appropriated , are ; $90.000 for extensions of the tribal Ir rigation works ; $100,000 as a trust fund for maintaining the Irrigation works ; ? 210,000 for two-year-old hoi- fora which Will bo added to the tribal herd ; $15,000 for stallions ; $10,000 for owes ; $10,000 for fencing the reserve ; $100,000 for school buildings ; $10,000 for a hospital ; and $50,000 as a trust fund for maintaining the schools. Crows Famous Horse Breeders. These Crow Indians have shown more advancement durlnir the nant three years than have any trlbo In the west. When the Hiirllugton railroad Ilrst built through the reservation , which up to that time had been sev eral hundreds of miles from the near est railroad point , the Crows wore nomadic hunters and llshors anil the whistle of the locomotive was a never ending source of terror to the braves. Hut under the good Inlluonco of Col. S. G. Reynolds , the Indian agent on the reserve , hundreds of the Crows nro now fairly good farmers. And although only a few years ago con sidered as on the extreme fringe of civilization , because of the railroads which traverse it in two different di rections , It has become ono of the most accessible of the western Indian reservations , and when the northern end of the Crow country Is opened for settlement , the death knell of the trlbo as a trlbo , will have sounded. T. U. Porter , Omaha , Nebraska. FRANK MURPHY , NEBRASKA MILLIONAIRE - LIONAIRE DIES SUDDENLY. END COMES IN NEW YORK HOTEL President of Omaha National Bank , Gas Company , Street Railway and Other Corporations Expires In Wal dorf-Astoria at New York. New York , Dec. 13. Frank Murphy of Omaha , president of the Merchants National bank of his homo city , also president of the Omaha Gas company , the Omaha street railway and other corporations of the Nebraska-metrop olis , died suddenly at the Waldorf-As toria hotel. Ho leaves n fortune of ? G,000,000. aids his own eexcutlon STORE -M'DONALD ' MERCAN TILE CO. OF MEADOW GROVE. MANY FUR OVERCOATS TAKEN YOUNG MEN CONVERSED WITH ONE OF THE BURGLARS. WERE OFFERED PULL AT BOTTLE Stein's Blood Hounds Follow the Trail to a Point Twelve Miles Northwest , and There It Was Lost Drove a Spring Wagon. Meadow drove , Neb. , Dec. 12. Spe cial to The News : The store of the McDonald Mercantile company wan broken Into at about ! ! o'clock Sunday morning and between $000 and $700 worth of goodn were taken. Entrance was gained by breaking open the back ilnnr niul tlm immlnvnrn Inailnil Into a wagon nnd hauled away. The night operator at the Northwestern - western depot nnd u young man ac quaintance met and conversed with one of the robbers. "Isn't It about tlmo you were homo ? " nnkcd one of the young men , meeting the robber in the dark. "Well just about. " replied the rob ber , "and wo will bo getting there pretty soon now. Have a drink ? " said the robber handing out a bottle. Hut the young men did not drink , nnd now they nro glad of It as the stuff might have been llxcd for putting out of the way inquisitive persons. The young men were much sur prised yesterday when they learned that the store had boon burglari/ed and that they had chatted with the robbers. They say It was so dark that they did not distinguish the man's face , but bin voice sounded familiar , like that of an acquaintance. Among the goods taken were be tween twenty and thirty fur overcoats , nil the ladles' silk waists in the stock , the Peggy bags , nil the muffs nnd other furs , nnd many other valuable articles of merchandise were taken. The company carries quite a largo line of jewelry , but fortunately this department was overlooked by the robbers , and none of It was disturbed. The goods were loaded Into a spring wagon , nnd it is known that the horses attached to the vehicle were shod with the "Never Slip" shoes and calks. The Stein bloodhounds of Norfolk were sent for and the trail was fol lowed yesterday for twelve miles Into the hills northwest of town but there the trail was lost and the dogs re- mseu 10 go luriner. rue irnuers therefore gave up the chase and re turned to town. There Is still hope that the crimin als will be apprehended. The descrip tion of the goods nnd the wagon , to gether with the conversation held by tlio young men with ono of the burg lars at Meadow Grove should furnish clues that would result in their appre hension and their conviction if they nre once apprehended. It Is economy to use want nds If you have anything to sell , exchange or give away ; or if , on the other hand , you want to rent , buy of borrow. Every young man or woman who wants to prepare for n bank or office position of any kind should write the Grand Island Business and Normal college at Grand Island , Nob. , for a catalogue. Wo understand that every student of this school is placed In a position ns soon nn no or she grad uates nnd these who prefer may grad uate from the college and pay expens es In monthly payments , after a posi tion has been secured. President Hargts has been nt the head of this school for twenty years and under his management it has grown to bo ono of the most Important institutions in the western states. WANT NEW CODE. Insurance Men Asking for Adoption of New General Statutes. Lincoln , Neb. , Doc. 13. Insurance Deputy Plorco of the auditor's office will recommend to his chief the adop tion of some legislation to provide the state with a now insurance code , to take the place of the present statutes which are said to bo In great need of revision and rearrangement , so that they may bo entirely harmonious. With the adoption of a cede an effort to change the fraternal laws to make them conform to the provisions gov erning other companion In anticipated. Fraternal Insurance men are expect ing the old line Intercntn to make an other effort to pans the measure known as house roll 420 at the last Hcsnlon of the legislature. The bill provided that no mutual benefit nsso- cation should wrlto contracts insur ing members subsequent financial ben efits nt the cxpcnno of some members of the company. While the measure wan Hiild to bo harmless it met with the antagonism of all the fraternal men on the tloor of the house who act ed In concert In defeating it. It Is claimed that ono object of the bill wan to render It Impossible for fraternal associations to do business In the state. An net which will bo Introduced gives jurisdiction over burial compa nies to the Insurance company. At present there In no department which In willing to accept control of the com pany which recently sought ndmlsnlon and the company Is obliged to go ahead without being amenable to any thing but the general corporation laws of the state. Such enterprises are considered legitimate and the pnn- nnge of the act will bo regarded with favor by the insurance department. THERMOMETER TELLS THE CHIL LY STORY TODAY. BAROMETER IS ABOVE 30 INCHES There Is Every Indication , However , With the Wind Blowing Into the Northland , That Warmer Currents Will Follow In the Wake of the Cold Zero weather. Two degrees below zero down town and ono above by the government mercury. That's what struck Norfolk and the rest of north ern Nebraska this morning. With the barometer high the weight , the cold , contracted nlr , sent the mercury up above thirty Inches In the little tube there was every prospect early to day that the cold would continue for a tlmo , and that there will bo no snow. Furnaces are receiving good tests today. There are more chilly homes today than ono might dream of. A few pipes bursted , also , on account of the sudden freeze. Now nnd then an ear was frozen. Other thanthat there was nothing so very serious about the chill. Fortunately there Is no severe wind. What.breeze there Is , blows Into the north rather than In the opposite di rection. This ought to give promise that warmer currents will drop down this way after a tlmo , ns It Indicates there Is a low pressure , with warm air in it , headed for Norfolk. ELGIN'S NEW * W . J.

BY DR. ORA CALDWELL , CHICAGO. In compiling the statistics of the different races of people of the world , It is of interest to note the article of diet , the manner In which It is taken ind the extent of medical attendance is practiced in the civilized world. It ias been demonstrated conclusively that the meat eaters are the strong est , healthiest and the best educated people In the world ; therefore It Is reasonable to believe that they are the people who govern the world. As demonstrated by Dr. Cnldwoll , the American people consume on an aver age of six pounds of meat per week ; : ho English four ; the German , three ; ; ho French , two ; and the Italian , one- mlf. Statistics prove that epidemics of contagious diseases more largely prevail among those people ; whoso diet partakes of less meat and more fari naceous foods. Good meat Is the most wholesome of all foods to be taken. True , It Is not as fattening as the ce reals or farinaceous foods , but It Is more strengthening and contains moro jlood nnd nerve producing elements , so n'ocessary to strength and good health. What Is required specially for perfect health is good digestion , plen- : y of outdoor exercise and special care as to hygiene find all the laws of na ture. Dr. Caldwell is a specialist of many years' experience , and has devoted - , voted much of her time to the study of diseases of the stomach , diseases of the brain and diseases of the ner vous system. From conclusive proof It has been demonstrated that a llttlo food properly served and well digest ed is far bettor than a great quantity of an unwholesome character improp erly digested. Dr. Caldwell has been afforded spe cial advantages In studying the char acteristics of the people , their diet , their hobbles and the special condi tions governing medicine ns a special ty. ty.Sho She has been awarded , In contests with the greatest schools In the world , the highest prize and n number of med als. She has been making a specialty of chronic , nervous and surgical dis eases , diseases of the eye , ear , nose , throat , lungs , diseases of women and diseases of long standing character. No matter how long such patients have suffered or who has treated them , she never failed to euro these ailments. In over n quarter of a cen tury In the experiment , study and prac tice of her profession In the diseases of men nnd women , she has cured thousands who have been pronounced helpless by other physicians. People como to her from far and near to re ceive her treatment and her offices are crowded at the places of her appoint ments and all speak in the highest praise of her treatment. By permission wo are pleased to publish a few of some of the cures she made throughout the state of Nebras ka.
