Yesterday tiio railroad commission for
warded to the Union Pacilio road n
statement of rates locally charged in
i > v Iowa and Minnesota compared with
local rates on the Union Pacilio in Ne
braska. The statement , it will bo ob
served , is fairly astonishing , nnd shows
thu Union Pacific to bo ahead of other
rends in the stnto in the robbery line.
Tiie rates locally on the St. Joe & West
ern and Missouri Paclliu nro about iden
tical with the Union Pacific. The H. ei
M. local rates , published u few days ago ,
were oyo-oponora , but these from the
Union Pacilio beat tlio record. Follow
ing is the communication :

L. Kltnball , Concrnl Tralllc Mnnaucr , Union
Pacific Hallway Company , Omalm , Neb.
Gentlemen : 1 Herewith tinnsnilt to joti , for
your eousideiation , n comparative statement
of the rates ol freight chaises In Iowa and
Minnesota * .vlth the rate charged on thn
Union Pacific railway for n distance of 000
miles west fioin Omaha. It will be noted
that } our rate on lirst class frcmlit for all
distances OUT forty miles Is much higher
than In Minnesota or on the 15. & M.
railroad In Nebraska , for 300 miles west
trom Lincoln or from Omaha , nnd your
fourth class rate Is still mnro oppressive.
The rate charged on lonrth class is. In Mitmi
Instances very neatly three-tilths of the rate
vharKcd on lirst class , and thu rate on lonrth
class should be r > 0 percent ot the liist class
If * , ou lollow the rate ol most Westcin states.
And , when your lirst class rate Is more than
double that ot Minnesota It make. * nveiv
extortionate and oppressive freight tarlll
which the people of this state are iciinlrcd to
pay , whencnmpaicd with Iowa and .Minne-
hota. And it Is belle\ed that the volume of
tratlic for UOO miles west from Omaha will
compare -.cry favorably with the nvetane
volume of tratlic in lown mid Minnesota on
the whole svstem ot roads in those states , so
that It is not hclleml by me that the volume

excuse for your exhoibitant and oppressive

In which classes a majority of freight Is trans

A 11. & M. rate for tourth-elass freight ,

the Union Pacilio climbs uu to (50 ( cents ;
nnd at ! 100 miles the U. & M. renders G\J \

TRUE CHILDREN OF NATURE ,
A Description of the Aboriginees of North
Ausrtalia.
THEIR SATANIC MAJESTY
The Alarrlngo Kclattons How the
Adultoroitfi urn Trentoil aiater-
nnl Grief Father Strolo's
lOxperionoc.
The Rov. Anthony Strcle , S. J. , super
intendent of the aboriginal mission ,
North Australia , arrived in Omixlw yes
terday , via San Francisco. Father
Strclo lias boon n missionary in Australia
for twenty years fifteen years in South
Australia and live years at his present
station. There are two Roman Catholic
missions in North Australia. One is at
Palmorstou , the terminus of the British
cable system ; the other at Daly riyor ,
two hundred miles distant. The mission
district embraces an area of half n mil
lion square miles , with an estimated ab
original population of 500,000 and 700
whites. There uro only four prioits , in
cluding Father Strolo , to attend to this
immense field. Tlio ruvcrond gentle
man ' .s object in visiting the United States
is to obtain funds for a more vigorous
nnd systematic prosecution of the work.
Moro missionaries are nccdod to bring
tlio savages within the palo of civiliza
tion , and Father Strelo is confident that
a presentation of the facts relating to
the mission will induce persons inter
ested in Christian work to contribute to
thn mission fund.
Father Strclo's account of the habits
aud customs of the aborigines is exceed
ingly interesting. Ho said to a HEB re
porter : "Tlio natives are not quito ns
dark as the Africans , whom they rcsem-
bio .lomewhut in features. Their hair is
straight , nnd they are tall , simiwy , cour
ageous , but not ferocious. With the ex
ception of these the mission has reached ,
they live in an utterly wild stato. They
nro divided into tribes hko the North
American Indians , and roam through the
bush and forests at will. They live in the
open air. They have no huts or villages ,
but sloop under the broad canopy of
heaven. They oat everything roots ,
fish , roubles , birdsworms or game. They
are true children of nature , depending
solely on what the earth produces at will ,
or what they catch and kill , for their
hiintcnanco. Their only weapon is a long
spear which they throw with marvellous
dexterity anil skill. They nro
very intelligent , docile under the tuition
of the whites , and quick to icarn
and grasp the ideas of civili/.ation. Wo
instruct them in their own language , and
they seem plca cd to bo taught how to
till tuo soil. In a very few years , if wo
had the moans to roach a larger number
than these wo can gather and maintain
round liio mission stations , I think the
great majority of the wild population in
north Australia could bo brought under
the civilizing agencies of the Christian
faith. "
"Have they any religious belief of their
ownt" asked the reporter.
"Yo3. " rnpllod Fnther Strele , ' 'and ono
which bears a curious resemblance to
certain tenets , of the Christian rcliiiion.
They buliovo in Mohiandiug , which
means the I'irst Being , a deity who pre
sides ovur the good cHlfe. and in a way
Towards lhoi ) who do woJl by themselves
aud fellow * . They belloTe in a future ,
both K happy ami unlmpny
ono. Thny alto hav knowledge
of an evil personage whom
they call , Bemud , nnd vrl o in most of his
itf correipoads to thu duyil. They
have picked up that word from tlie
whites , aud of late whenever they have
occasion to refer to Ucrauel , tiioy cry ,
'Devil devil. ' Berauel is the cause of
all mischief , and ho is universally feared.
If an unusual noise is hearil , or a sudden
.storm arises in the forest , they huddle to
gether , trembling with four , crying.
'Devil devil. ' They claim that lierauel
appears to thorn ; ho is represented as hav
ing a human form terribly distiguroil. If
they are abkod about their belief in im
mortality , they say : 'If man die , ho is not
all gouo. ' Ono tribe nelicves that at
death a little black gees out of him. That
seem to correspond to our belief in the
soul. But it is very dillicult to get at
their exact meaning on such matters.
Their language is confusing , and their
Iradional beliefs are at times surrounded
with that mental haze which hangs over
many savage tribes. "
"Havo they any conception of right
and wrong ? "
"Yes , a .simple one , of course. They
have a good Idea of justice. Wrong
means the harming of anyone , and right
is being kind and good. "
"What are the relations between the
sexes ? "
"Thoy are very delicate in regard to
the marriage tie. Children are betrothed
to each other by their parents. Tlio girls
mature and are married at fifteen ; thu
bridegrooms are generally about twenty
years of ago. They do not intermarry
in the same tribo. All marriages are be
tween persons of dill'oront tribos. You
will trace a curious relation between
these customs and the civili/.cd code in
relation to intermarriage : but ,
interesting as the study is , wo have no
means of getting at their origin. That
mental hu/.o of which I spoke , and that
mysterious blending of tradition with
living circumstances blocks the way at
tlio very threshold of the inquiry and wo
are compelled to btop bewildered. They
have no moans of communication except
by the voice and manual signs. 1 have
never come across an instance of n writ
ten sign , aud m that respect they are
lower in the grade of intelligence than
the American Indians , many of whom
have a rude method of conveying thought
nud incident by means of characters and
ligures drawn on a piece of bark. "
"Havo they any polygamous tenden
cies ? "
"Yes ; there nro some polygamists
among them , but as a general thing
polygamy is decried. Should n lubra
( wife ) provu unfaithfulshe is immediately
speared ; and all'airs are made pretty
warm for a man who
steals a .lubra or commits
adultery. Ho has to got out of the neigh
borhood as quick ns possible. Sometimes
a tribal fight is the result ot the abduc
tion of a lubra , but as a ruin thu male
culprit transfers himself to another
tribo. " , c
"Have they any curious superstitions J"
' Yea , and spmq of them are very
laughable and show the trickincss of the
native doctors. For instance , Kangaroo
is considered * by them an extremely
toothsome dish. Well , ono of the super
stitions is that a woman must not oat of
it or she will become sick. This is sim
ply a trick to keep all the Kangaroos for
the men , a very convenient but selfish
superstition. Women must not oat alli
gators or crocodiles , which are
also highly esteemed , for the same
reason. Young men without
beards are frightened out of eating bats
which the old follows are very fond of ;
but both wives and young men , who have
found out by experience that sickness
does not follow the gratification of the
palate by such delicacies , take every op
portunity of filching morsels of these
precious dishes , to their great pain and
discomfort , however , if they are found
out. "
'You speak of the native doctors do
they practice charms or administer po
tions in the case of slckneosT"
"Thoir practice is very simple. If Iho
patient has a pain in his side , tlio doctor
merely piuchoa and presses the afllictcd
part until tlio pain disappears. The
materia mcdica consists of pinch
ing and prcshiug for all diseases.
\ \ omuls are cured by Kicking wjth
the mouth. The natives seem to thrive
under this treatment. They are very
healthy , and pay little attention to ills
which would make other people sweat
and groan. The nostrils of nearly nil the
babies are pierced , nnd a piece of grasser
or wood is put through the hole. TliK is
not worn after twenty years of ago.
From what I can make out , tins custom
is to ensure against drowning. Another
peculiar practice is thu raising of scans
and welts on the arms nnd body.
These are supposed to bo 'beauty marks. '
They swell out to the thickness of a
linger , and the mnro of these scars n
native has on his body , the better pleased
he is witli his appearance. When n
mother loses a child she will often cut
off a finger in token of her
grief. If she loses another , off
goes another finger ; and it is not rare
to sec a woman with nil the fingers of
one hand missing. Both parents arc
very much attached to their children. "
"Then 1 presume the wild women of
Australia are in a much better position
than the women of most savage na
tions ? "
'Unfortunately ' that presumption is
not correct. Tlio man sliaros the afloc-
tion of his wife for their offspring , but
there his tenderness slops. He looks
upon the woman herself ns his slave.
Slio has to do all the drudg
ery , minister to his wants with
prompt alacrity , nnd bo over on the alert
to spare him a moment's exertion. All
the men do is to hunt and cat and sleep
The woman's life is ono of perpetual
work and fear. Shu trembles nt the very
voice of her licgo lord , who is not spar
ing of kicks and cull's if domestic atl'airs
are not conducted to his liking. "
Father Strelo is stopping at Creighton

THE TRAILOF DEATH.

rnthorcd together awiy : from the ,
they talked In low tones , they sought to
hide their fo.irs from those they loved.
And whut of the women nnd children ?
I'nces turned whiter than the SIIOWM of
the new ycnr , lips iiuvored ] with emo
tion. IhnlB trumbledns the mind recalled
btories of blood and cruelty. And in
ciieh wu onoinc : ono knelt and prnyml
to ( iod to extend His hand of protention.
And now the wagons move on. For n
time it IK in eloso order , with the brave
husbands between dniiKor niid thuir
loved ones. Then there is nn accident
n death a something to cause nlnnn ,
nnd the nlarm hoon becomeK a pnnie.
Heaven help them now ! Thu hor.so.s nrn
pusned to n trot now to n gallop now
they are runnin ; . ; in mad oxcitcmont ,
urged bv the whips of the driven ) nud
the shouts of the Indians. We know how
it will end. The night is coming down
now nnd wo go into camp. Ono night
more will make no dill'unmeo with the
skeletons lying on the grnss two or three
miles awny. 1'ho wolves have boon tlieic
each night for a week.

The sun is an hour high as we roach the
spot. Hero is an acre of ground on which
a curse may over rest. Hero the wagons
were headed off hero the husband and
sous mudu the fight which men make
when the last hope is gone and dispair
comes like a dark cloud. One two
four fnc all the wagon. * are here , but
broken nnd useless. The bloated nud
half devoured bodies of the horac.s arc
hero. The bodies of men. women ami
children nro no ! You cannot call a
skeleton n body. You cannot
say that this bundle of clean
picked bones was u man or wo
man. They are all hero. Not a soul es
caped. Over the ghastly acre is strewn
the garments of the dead iho contents
of the wagons. In the circle about thu
wagons arc blood spots on thu grass.
Those pioneers did not die without ru-
yeugo. Hut when the last one. had sallon
what shouts of victory ! What veils of
vengeance ! What n least for tomahawk
nnd scalping knife ! The wolves hiding
nway in the shadows of the grove must
have heard the .shrieks of nllright , the
calls for mercy , the prayer.s ( o ( Jod. The
vultures balling overhead must have
quickened their wings as the horrible din
of slaughter reached their can ? .
# * *
And wo ride on. What tiso to tramp
over this hell spot in search of name' Of
what use to dig a grave for these bones ?
What to the world nwav beyond the
mighty prairie that a few more of its
millions hnvo died , or how , or when ,
liut wo mutter a cursu upon the human
devils , nnd wo utter fitlont prayers to
( Jed for the victims.
