case n hearing. Mr. Powell appeared ns lic
enser and Mr. Bechtel us defender , Mr.
Powell reiterated his assertions that the as
sociation had no right to transact business

declared that the association was not nnd
( r- never had been a secret organization , nor had
it e.rcr asked to bo recognized us such by any
branch or order of the Knights of Pythias.
It was merely an insurance institution com
posed of Knights of Pythias only , and had
nothing whatever to do with the secret workIngs -
Ings of the society.
Auditor Benton's decision was ns follows :
After listening to the testimony mid iirgn-
mcnts on your petition , n klng that the cer
tificate of authority Issued by this ofllce to
the Pythlun Life association , be revoked , and
after carefully considering Iho question , I
/r find the following facts :

association was admitted to do business in
this state under the provisions of sections 1IS !
to 20(5 ( inclusive , of chapter III , compiled
statutes of lv > 7 , and have continuously
transacted business . in this state since that
time under and by authority of the auditor of

That the management and control of said

THE INDIANS AT CARLISLE ,
How the Best School in the Oountrj is
Conducted ,
LITTLE LO AS A STUDENT ,
He ; Learn * Itcndlly After You Onoc
Overcome Ills Natural Antipathy
to Labor Captain Pratt'H
Good Work.
WAMIIXOTOV , May 20. [ Special to Tun
Bir. : . ] Last week the Joint committee from
congress made the regular biennial Inspec
tion of the Indian school nt Carlisle , Pa. ,
and the members have given some Interest
ing accounts of what they saw. The school
at Carlisle , whllo not one of the Ilrst schools
established In the country for the Indians , Is
undoubtedly one of the best , nnd the progress
being made there in the taming of the sav
ages illustrates very fairly what Is being
done nt other schools In the country and will
be read with interest.
The quarters occupied by the school were
formerly the Carlisle barracks and the gov
ernment troops were quartered there. The
grounds are several acres In extent , whllo
adjoining the grounds Is a farm of ( KXJ acres
where the scholars are taught agricultural
pursultd.
The buildings , seventeen in number , form
n niiadranglo about a central space reserved
ns a drill ground.
On entering the reservation set aside for
the buildings of the schools and quarters one
is struck with the air of quiet and peaceful
calmness with which the scene is invested.
Tlio Indian boys , being given greater liberty
than the girls , are first seen ns ono enters the
grounds at u time when they are not engaged ,
and their appearance is striking in the ex
treme. They are all clothed in neat uniforms
of light blue with red trimmings , and they
wear them with the grace and ease of veter
ans. Their phisognomics impress one b'y the
similarity of facial formation between tlio
representatives of the different tribes.- All
the Indians with the exception of the half-
t > reeds have the high cheek bones
and swarthy complexions of their sires.
Well-formed vouths are the rule , but
but the nasal equipment of the scholars at
this school is anything but pretty. The most
noticeable thing about the lads seen here is
that they have lost the savage look Unit dis
tinguished them when they came , and in its
place is seen the quiet , self-possessed poise 01
the partaker of the bounties of a generous
civilization. Some of the youths seen upon
the campus show signs of more than usual in
telligence , and in many cases they are found
to bo ready talkers , having not only a good
command of the English language , but of
ideas us well.
There are at present in the school 778
pupils. Of these 2S7 are boys and 21ti are
girls ; 11HJ of the boys are at present away
from the school at farms throughout the state ,
and seventy-nine of the girls are so placed.
The life of a student of Carlisle is pleasant
and tilled with just enough liurd work to cut
the natural and inherited laziness out of him.
In the morning the pupils spend their time
in the school , where they are taught the same
studies as nro given to the scholars in the
public schools. Their highest grade , how
ever , is two grades below the high school
grade of the public schools. There arc thir
teen teachers engaged in instructing the
scholars here besides the instructors in the
mechanical branches. In the afternoon the
mule pupil goes to one of the shops , where ho
learns the trade of printing , harness-making ,
wagon-making , tin-working , shocmaking ,
tailoring , carpentry or blaeksmithiiig. The
work done by these pupils is of the best
character , as is evidenced by the fact that
after leaving the school they work right
along In their trades with regular
mechanics at the sumo wages , doing
Just ns good work. The tailor shop and
the shoe-making shop furnish oil these ar
ticles used at the school , and last year when
the new buildings were put up it was found
that the carpenters and blacksmiths and
others among the students were right on
hand to do their part , and in nil cases did it
well. They are earnest workers , and
strangely enough when their antecedents are
considered , they are industrious. The girls
learn to sew , to take care of the quarters and
to do general housework.
The icliglous services are of course nonsectarian -
sectarian and of a character to be easily taken
in by those of the pupils who gained their
Ilrst knowledge of Christianity after coming
to this school.
One of the places of greatest pleasure to
the boys is the gynasium , a large building-
well titled up with the appliances
usually found in such a place and
where the boys have in them a
spirit of emulation which results In most of
the boys being blessed with splendid physi-
cial development. They swing the clubs , do
their turns on the bars , horizontal and par-
arallel , and use the rings and other appliances
with great ease. Many of them are natural
athletes , and all are fairly muscular. There
are but few weaklings among them.
One of the features of tlds institution Is
the "outing system , " by which all those in
the lower branches nro given u chance to go
out on the farms , and in this way acquire a
knowledge of farming in the most practical
manner. The boys are put out to farmers all
through the state of Pennsylvania , to work
on the farms , and the girls into service with
households of the people 'round about , and in
this way not only acquire n knowledge of the
English language , but also learn the use of
the most improved agricultur.il implements.
The furmers are anxious to get those
boys , us they liud that they make
industrious , polite and ready workmen. The
wages paid are small , but in the past year
the earnings of these out among the fanners
amounted to f lL',000. This year It Is esti
mated Unit 100 of the scholars will bo given
their outing. Their wages uro carefully
saved and there is a havings bank at the
school , and all boys earning or getting money
in any way are required to open an account
with this Imnk. In this way they are taught
business principles in u way atonco interest
ing and beneficial.
The superintendent at the school and the
man to whom the great part of the success of
the school is due is Captain It. H. Pratt of
theTenth cavalry , who for forty years past ,
has been detailed for duty at this school.
His management bus brought the school
up to its present standard. Mr. A.
J. Standing , the assistant superintendent of
tit present in charge of the school , as Captain
Pratt is away on a tour of Japan. Besides
these there are some forty-flvo ether people
connected with the school In positions of
authority. Among these are E. L. Flsncr ,
principal teacher ; Miss Kuto Irvine , matron
in charge of tlio girls ; Mrs. Clven , in charge
of the small boys ; Dr. K. S. Butler , in charge
of the dining room ; W. P. Campbell , discip
linarian ; Fordyco Grinnell , physician ; Miss
M. Burgess , superintendent of printing ; Dr.
C. H. Hepburn , first clerk , and Miss II. C.
Kly , superintendent of outing.
Among the recreations of the scholars the
drill takes an Important part. Mr. Campbell
is the director of the military drill , in which
the boys show remarkable proficiency. They
are not allowed to hare gnus , but they excel
in the foot movements and In the ordinary
tactics of marching. The large space
between the buildings is reserved
for u parade ground , and the dress parade
held here shows that the Indian makes a good
soldier uud is seldom or never guilty of in-
.subordination.
The largo pupils have also a library with a
number of good books on its shelves and a
number of magazines are received monthly.
These older students show a remarkable
amount of intelligence when It is remembered
that they were taken right off the reservation
without any previous training. They have
formed a debating society , ami many of the
subjects they linndlo are fitted to call forth
the best efforts of the brightest thinkers In
the country. The following are a few of the
subjects Unit have 'been debated by the so
ciety :
"Resolved , That the Indian territory should
beoiiened for settlement ; that the Indian
bo at once admitted to citi/enship ; that stock-
raising Is better for the Indian than funning ;
that industry is more ini | > ortant to the Indian
than book learning : that it Is better for the
Dakota Indians to have the territory admit
ted as u stati > ; that the industrial school for
Indians Is better than tlio day school ; that
the Indian youth who have IM-CII educated ut
government cxtcnbo | should not accept
further help from the gocrmucut , that all
Indian cditcbtloa should Iff ) in the English
language , " JljUl
It will be noticed that tlmtnll the questions
have some bearing on the Indian question.
The greatest question concerning this
school Is ns to the effect ojthls education on
the condition of the Indian. H Is often asked
of the teachers and those Hi vlmrge of the In
stitution If these boys and girls when they
return to the reservation nro Itnown
to hold the teachings MOJ the school
or do they ix-lun.se Into the blunkot life
of their parent * . This question is answered
by the records of the Institution In which it
Is shown that the largo portirtnof thescholars
take up some useful and Industrious pin-suit
on the reservation and settle down to the
realities of life with a full'fciMwledgo of what
is before them. Many ot-\hem , become mis
sionaries among their kind , while others become -
come Interpreters and clerks in the service of
the government.
The greater part of them take to funning
nnd stock-ralsing.nnd uro in many cases quite
successful. They nro apt to form colonies
among themselves , recognizing the import-
unco of keeping and depending upon each
other for moral and mental support. The
graduates In many cases marry among
themselves , the results in cases being
most satisfactory. Reports from the
Indians returned to the reserva
tion show n largo number having homes of
their own , while many others ure found farmIng -
Ing with their fathers and for employers.
about the reservation. Statistics show that
these graduates have become , after leaving
the school , employes In mission and govern
ment schools , pupils of northern colleges ,
United States scouts , Issue clerks , traders
clerks , agency herders , stage drivers , loggers ,
carpenters , in the agency shops , millers In
the agency mills , blacksmiths in the agency
shops , while others have stores of their own
as well as farms and cattle. The percentage
of these relapsing Into their old ways is very
small. Piiutv : S. HKATII.

The meeting held at Thirty-tif th and Frank
lin streets hist niglit for the purpose of dis
cussing tlio proposition to issue bonds in the
sum of § 350,000 for the erection of school
buildings and the purchasing of sites was
largely attended by the taxpayers and prop
erty holders of Lowe's addition and vicinity.
The meeting was organized by tlio election
of Charles Daley chairman and George J.
Stoney secretary.

lished in Till ! Hci : , was read by the secretary.
On motion of George J. Stonoy , the chair
appointed T. J. Moriarity , A. You Treat and
William Ilodgetts a committcopn resolutions.
The committee after consultation submitted
the following :
Itesolvcd , That It Is tlio sense of this meet
ing that tlio action of tlio board of education
of Omaha , la ondpavorint ; to advance the in
terests of the public In proem-line and pro
viding proper buildings for educational pur
poses , Is heartily endorsed.
Unsolved , That It Is the t-eiiso of tills moot-
lug that tlio school bond proposition to bo sub
mitted to our people on iho Ulst day of this
month should have tliomipport of the citizens
of oar community.
Kcsolved , That wo hereby pledge ourselves
to use all honorable efforts to secure the
adoption of said proposition at the noils.
N. Stevens stated that he had talked with
Mr. Estclle upon the question of registration ,
and that gentleman had informed him that
lie did not think it would bo necessary to
register to entitle the residents of the
various wards to exercise their rights of
franchise.
II. B. Coryell stated that the question had
been referred to the judiciary committee of
the board of education and Mr. Estclle , and
that it had been decided that bonds could bo
defeated if a majority of the votes east were ,
in favor of the proposition. Ho stated that
ho would again sco the attorney , get his
opinion and have it published in Tin ; BII : : ,
that it might be seen ami understood by the
voters of the city.
II. H. Hobinson , a member of the board of
education , stated that the whole question is
now under consideration by the judiciary
committee and the city attorney , and that an
opinion will bo rendered.
Charles Daley addressed the meeting by
saying : "I am a citizen of Omaha , and I am
always in favor of every enterprise that ad
vances tlio interests of the public. If the
citizens will not work for their own inter
ests who will work to tlds end ?
1 am decidedly In favor ot voting these
bonds. Once they were defeated , and now
wo should look to it that , the same diflleulty
does not occur again. In this ward wo are
unfortunate , as our school bouses arc mere
sheds , not lit to house cattle. Wo have as
good teachers us can bo found in any school
in the city , but they cannot do their duty
until wo have better school buildings. With
this view of the case , let us go to the polls
and there show the people that we arc work
ing for ourselves and the interests of the city
at largo. "
Mr. Hobinson was called upon to Inform
the meeting at what time work could bo com
menced upon the buildings if the bonds were
voted. In reply 1' ' " stated that after being
issued , placed upon the market and sold , the
buildings could bo commenced and would
probably bo completed this season.
G. W. McCoy of Omaha View informed the
meeting that his section of the city could bo
depended upon to roll up a solid vote for the
bonds.
The question was called and unanimously
adopted.
Ir. Moriarty was called for , and during
his remarks stated that if the city increased
In wealth during tlio next ten years as it had
during the past , values would increase to
such an extent that at tlio time when the
bonds became duo the taxpayer who is now
assessed on a 81,000 valuation would have
paid only $12 in taxes on the § -50,000 of bonds
to bo issued.
The following resolution was then adopted.
Itesolved. That It Is thosunsoof this meet
ing that through faithful ami iitlcntlvn per
formance of duly as u mumberof I ho board of
education. Mr. II. It. Coryell Ims ttlven oiitlro
satisfaction , which Is appicclatcd by us as
"ite'soived ' ! That said II. U. Coryell bo a can
didate for re-elect Ion. knowing Unit If lin Is rn-
eleeted Ids duty will lie performed as In the
past , with honesty , faithfulness nnd Integrity
to all concerned , and wu hereby pledge our
.support to use all lawful means to liibiiro bl.s
UIMHI being seen by a reporter , Mr. Coryell
stated that as a resident of the Sixth ward he
felt It his duty to abide by the decision of tlio
voters , and if they desired him to become a
candidate ho would enter the nice.
Tin ) bond question was again taken up and
discussed to some length , with a unanimous
sentiment that the entire Sixth wurd would
favor the proposition ,
A Prolem From tlio Second Ward.
The second warders met at Frank Kus-
IKT'S hull last night in full forceto take
action on the school bond preposition.
Speeches were made by Frank ICasper , M.
L. Hcdllehl , CapUin Hutlur and other * , all of
whom expressed the opinion that the Second
ward was Ignored by the manipulators of
school politics.
There were about thirty in the room , nnd
noirly everyone took occasion to remark that
th Second ward was slighted.
It was a citizens' meeting , and finally
it resulted itself uiUi u comimUw
of the . whole In executive
session and appointed a nub-committee of six
to see that the Sivond ward should bo repre
sented In the school board n < v\t year. Mem
bers of luith parties made themselves heard ,
and nil were unanimous In the opinion that
the .Second wurd , and especially Ilitrtmun
school , hud been neglected.
Frank ICmper expressed himself as of Iho
opinion that tlio bond proposition would bo
far more timely a year from now , and that
probably by that tltno the entire city would
see that the second Won ! , of all ixirtlons of
the dity , was in need of additional school ac
commodations.
The committee as finally opiwinted consists
of three democrats mid three republicans ,
who nro to see that the Second ward has a
running candidate for school board.

Dr. Koscwntoe Tells ol' the Keoent
American 'Medical Convention.
Dr. Charles Hosowatcr returned yesterday
from attending the session of the American
medical association at Nashville , Tcnn. Ho
reports a very successful session , both in
point of attendance and in the amount of
work accomplished. The doctor is very on-
enthusiastic in Ids remarks concern
ing the treatment which the asso
ciation received at tlio bauds of Iho
clti/.ens of Nashville. The latter
were untiring in their efforts to mukothostuy
of the delegates n pleasant one , and that they
were pre-eminently successful there can be no
doubt. The delegates were tendered a recep
tion , at which wore present the ( lower of tlio
beauty and chivalry of that section , renowned
for its beautiful women and bravo men , A
concert was given at the opera house for the
enjoyment of the city's guests ; excursions
were run in different directions lor their en
tertainment , those of the < lelcgates who wera
admirers of line horseflesh being escorted to
the finest stock farm In that section mid these
who sn desired being shown the celebrated
"Hermitage , " the bourne of Andrew Jack-
son. After the election of officers , at which
time Dr. Briggs , a noted surgeon of Nash
ville , was chosen president , the delegates
were riven a reception at the elegant man
sion of tlio doctor.
In speaking of these receptions Dr Hose-
water said ho was strongly reminded of that
famous description by Byron of the battle of
Waterloo , when there was a "sound ot rev
elry by night. "
There were about thirteen hundred dele
gates In attendance ut tlio meeting of the as-
boclutlution , the Nebraska delegation being
larger than ordinary , the state being repre
sented by twelve delegates.
A stroni : effort was made to secure the next
session of thu association for Omaha , but u
secret Influence was at work which defeated
the plan. Omaha , however , secured a great
advertisement , which brought the city prom
inently before the members of the association
and will undoubtedly result in bringing the
next meeting to tills place- . Collies of THU
BII : : ANxrtij were in great demand and
elicited a great amount of favorable com
ment ,
The nominating convention , which consists
of one delegate from each state , selects the
place of holding the next session , ami .sub
mits its action to the association for approval ,
In this Instance the committee selected San
Francisco as tlio seat of the next convention ,
but contrary to all precedent , the action of
the committee was disapproved. Washing-
Ion , D. C. , was then proposed and Dr. ( japeii
presented the claims of Omaha In un eloquent
address.Viislilngt on was selected , however ,
and the next session will bo held at the na
tional capital.
"After being away from homr' , " said Dr.
Hosowater , " 1 can't help noticing what mag *
nitlcent streets we have here. They are
much better In every respect than those of
other cities. They arc wide and straight ,
have better and wider sidewalks and are bet
ter paved than in other and larger cities.Vo
also haven better system of street railways
tnan any other city in the country.
"Nashville l.s a beautiful city , " continued
the doctor. "It bus beautiful buildings and
the parks of the. city are magnificent. The
city Is literally 'founded upon a rock. ' The
cellars of the buildings are blasted out of
solid rock. I saw rock piled up nround u
building which hud been blasted out to make
a cellar. It looked very peculiar to a man
from this section of the country. "
