Gathered about the table In Dr. Miller's
i offlco In the city hall yesterday afternoon
% vas a party of Omaha Indians , who cauio
from the Omaha agonry for the purpose of
laying before the doctor their trials and
tribulations They were all robust nud
healthy looking representatives of their
race , and their presentation of their case
was creditably intelligent. The names of
the Indians are Whlto Horse , Slnda-Ha-Ha ,
Wn-Hii-Mliign , Prulrlo Chicken , Big Elk ,
Ou-Ba'Moni , LlttlcCook and Jesse Fremont.
Henry Fontcnolle , formerly n chief , acted as
Jnterpretir All of them were past middle
age , two of them being gray. In other
days they were all chiefs , considered
by the tribe very wise Indians and bravo
warriors However , In their appearance
.yesterday fieri ) was nothing to denote the
warrior Their mission was ono of peace , in
which the whole trlbo was directly Inter
ested 'I heir attire was that of the white
limn Not a word of English was spoken by
lid. of them except by the interpreter , and
ihclr approval of any utterance or action
WHS miido manifest by the well known grunt
of the race Tncy arrived In the city yes-
terOay. returning to the agency last conIng -
Ing They were accompanied by W.

ruturniM with them. Dr. Miller had Invited
< 1overnor Bnyd to bo present and listen to
what the Indians might have to say.
t'liilm I'nuiil OUT H I.eaiui.
Their visit grows out ot a disputed lease
made to Mr. Farley of ! il,000 acres of the
ngency land for grazing purposes at a few
cents per acre. A few years ago the govern
ment madn an allotment of f > 0,000 acres of
Jand for the Omahas. Each male Indian
was given 100 acres , and when it was
llvlded up It was found that it required
Ji'J.OOO acrc-i to go around. This left remain
ing 'Ji (100 ( acres , which would bo divided In
ervoralt.v among the children and grandchil-
dim of the members of the trlbo twenty-live
years later During the interim the tribe
was to leiiso the land for any purpose de
sired Mr Farley made a proposition ,
which was accepted , and the lease of thu
land foi gra/.ing purposes was made.
Jt w O T this lease that the whole trouble
iirises , ami U appears that some of the big
men of the trlbo dllTer with each other upon
this qucHtitm. The wise men of thu tribe
who wire hero yesterday claim that fraud
lias been practised upon them regarding thu
term of the lease with Farley. When they
made the lease they say It was forotio year ,
jind that now Farley sots up the claim that
It was made for llv i years. They are anx
ious to si-euro possession of the property , so
that it may bo rented for agricultural pur
poses at llgures more prolltablo than those
now rcceivo I.
Last week T. H. Tibbies and Umpas. an
Omaha Indian , came down from the agency ,
lind told Dr Miller ot their side of the case.
They tli'sired the lease with Farley contin
ued , as they claim It was a yood ono , and
Jiono better can bo secured.
Dr. .Miller Ilotip 1'rlrml to Imllimi.
Dr Miller has no Interest in the matter ,
but the Indians regard him as friendly , and
have interested him because , they say , ho
lias inllucnco with the great father at
"Washington and the otlu r great men , and can
aecuro them a hearing , and in this manner
bring abuut what is doiircd. Governor
JJoyd was invited in that he might Join with
the doctor in bringing the attention of the
government to the case , "for , " as Dr. Miller
informed the braves , "tho governor is very
influential and has more inllucnco at Wash
ington than I have. "
W. E. Peebles explained the mission of
the braves. Ho gave the history of the land
grant to the Omahas , and the terms of thu
allotment. What the trlbo now desired waste
to retrain possession of the leased land , and
as Farley had refused to give possession
they believed the desired end can bo more
speedily brought about by the government
making the proposed allotment to each of
their children and grandchildren , not wait-
ting until the twonty-llvo yean , are passed.
Congress some time ago enacted a law under
which it is possible to make the allotment
nt once , and this is Just what the Indians are
lighting for If the allotment Is made it will
terminate the Farley lease and leave the
tribe In possession of the tract. Mr. Peebles
said it has been charged that when the
lease was inado Interested parties got the
young braves drunk , and in that way the
Jraiul regarding the terms of the lease was
practiced upon the council making the same.
Ho introduced NV'hlto Horse , who had boon
1 to Washington to interview the great
lather upon the matter , and seemed to bo
the big man of the party.
\Vlilto Homo Sroroi Tlhliloi.
Whlto Horse talked slowly and pointedly
and his words were clvcn by Interpreter
l-'ontenello. Ho said ho was glad to visit
Dr Miller and ho hoped ho would see the
justice of their case and assist them
In Bucuring action upon It by the
government. Continuing , ho said :
'A majority of the members of the trlbo
signed a petition for the allotment of land
and sent myself and friend here to Wash
ington asking about the same. In our coun
cil , ono jcar ago this spring , a Mr. Farloy
c'amo and asked for a lease of the pasture
land , and as ho urged us to lease to him , wo
lot him have It for ono year , and no longer.
Ilo now is trying to got the pasture away
from us , and already has cattle upon U. Ono
year ago hist summur Mr. Tibbies got up In
our council and urged tl.o Omahas to not
lease their lands for gracing , but rent them
for agricultural purposes. Now ho comes
hero and urges the opposite , and advises us
I not to hold the land in several ty. but lease It
for pasture. "
White Horse charged that somebody had
bribed Tibbies to change his views. What
the Omahas desired was to have the author
ities at Washington make the allotment of the
land and in that manner the lease for pasturage -
turago would bo annulled.
Governor Boyd said ho thought all that
oould bo done was for Dr. Miller to lay the
case before the authorities at Washington
and umo the necessity for a commissioner
being delegated to Investigate the matter ,
.niul recommend the allotment of the land in
severally to the trlbo.
Dr Miller said ho could not see why the
allotment should not bo made , so as to per
mit the Oinahas to make whatever dlsio |
nit Ion of thur land was desired by the in
dividual members of the tribe.
A letter from T. H. Tibbies was read bj
Dr Miller , opposing in the main the prayer
for reallotmcnt by the iribo.
Onmlin * AinleniH for C'ltl/onslilp.
Sinda Ha Ha. who , Mr. Pelbbles said , Is
the orator uf fie chiefs , took the floor anil
made quite a lengthy talk. Ho said ho hail
lieou acijstomed to cad governors of states
"groat fathers , " and ho would apply thai
term to Governor Boyd , although his torni
liad expired as the duel executive of Ne
braska As ho looked into the faces ol
bis grwit lather and his good friend , Dr
Miller ho saw confidence and friendship
nud although ho had been ill for some time
it made him feel stronger and heller to bt
thcro. The land is good , and should bt
allotted Ho had been sent to Washltigtoi
by the trlbo. and had appeared before tin
great father and great men In Washingtoi
and asked fora roallotmcnl.
"Wo have been thinking , " slid Simla'
Ha-Ha , "that wo can till the soil of oui
lamia , and when wo turn over the sod in on
and more it yields heller. Many of tin
children of the Onuihas are dying , am
when wo lese them wo foci tntit if they hat
land allotted to thorn it would go to us. Oui
young men are also taking an Interest ii

States. Thai U what wo want , and wo mus

dustrious clllzons , and our young man wan
to become farmers. Wo leased the | .utcntc
land ol iil.OOO acres lo Farloy for ono yea
and no longer , and when I went to thei
about thi-lr saving the lease wns forllv
years they denied It. We want what Is OUR
nnd wo hope you will help us in secure that.
Governor Boyd ald Dr. Miller had txwi
kind enough to call him In to lUton to what
the representatives of the trlbo had to say ,
and Join with thu doctor. If ho thought biat ,
in bringing Ihp attention of the government
to the matter nnd seek to hare the wrongs
righted. Llko all questions , there were two
sides to It nnd ho had only heard
one , but from what ho had
heard he believed the government
should send n commissioner to look into the
matter and take proper steps. He said he
and Dr. Miller would Immediately bring the
government's attention to the matter. He
only feared that it was too late In the sea
son , that the Allotment could not bo made
in time to permit the Omahas leasing the
lands for agricultural puriwses this year , but
they would do the best they could.
Dr. Miller said ho was always glad to see
the Omahns. Ho had known them for years ,
and their fathers before them. Ho had lived
In this country when there was but little be
sides Indians , and as ho had always been
friendly with them ho supposed that was
the reason for seeking his assistance. Ho
and Governor Boyd would write nnd forward
to Washington a statement of the case , urg
ing Immediate action.
The council was then brought to a close
and the braves , shaking hands with Ihosc
present , left for their wigwams , giving vent
to their feellncs of approval at the outcome
by expressive grunts and gestures.
NEBHA8KA AT THE FAIR.

Juno S has been sot apart as a special stale
day at the Nebraska building at the World's
fair , and great things are being prepared
to especially interest visitors from Ne
braska. Commissioner Garncau was in the
city yesterday , and , speaking generally of
the state exhibit and its present condition ,
ho said :
Speaking of the progress beine made in
getting the stale exhtbils and the slale
building ready for the public , Commissioner
Garneau said :
' \Vc have experienced a great amount of
delay and annoyance from the congested
condition of traftlc between here and
Chicago. It has been next to Impossible to
get goods from Nebraska to the World's
fairgrounds in less than a week's lime and
in many inslnnces goods have not gene
through even in a week. The business is so
enormous that it is impossible for the
Illinois Ccntr.il riuid , which has lo do most
of the switch yard business at the grounds ,
to get the uoods delivered in anything llko
reasonable time.
"Notwithstanding tuo delay , however , we
have progressed very well w'lth the work of
arranging the exhibits. Wo made one mis
take , which shows up more and more as we
near the comnlellon of the work. Wo should
never have attempted to make an exhibit of
products in the state building at all. It would
have been better in the end if wo had re
served the building simply as a sort of recep
tion and club house and had all the stale
exhibits displayed in the department build-
Ings. Many of the states nave adopted this
plan , and 1 see now that it Is a wise one. Wo
could have taken the same money and made
the Nebraska building a little more attract
ive and the stale would have won Just as
many laurels by having its products all ex
hlbiicd In the main buildings alone with
products from other stales. Bui ills too late
now to make the change and wo will get on
very well as It Is
"Tho Nebraska building has been improved
wonderfully in appearance by painting , nnd
it is now one ol the handsomest on the
grounds. Wo will have all the room we
need , and really inoro than wo need , for the
exhibits. A part of the building has been
Hted up for reception and club purposes ,
mt. as I said before , If Ihis idea had been
, ho main one m the pulling up of the stale
mllding we could have made a moro pleas-
ng impression upon Iheoublle in general.1
"How about Nebraska day , aroyoumak-
ng any arrangements for the proper rccogni-
ion of the day.1"
"Yes , wo hope to see a great many No-
> raskans at the fair on Juno 8 , which has
icon sot aside as Nebraska day , as we will
lave some special exercises on that occasion
hat will bo pleasing , not only to the people
of Nebraska , but to visitors in general. 1
cannot give you the nature of the program
ot , for it is still in embryonic form , but will
nttcmpt to have something that will bo a
credit to the state. Nebraslca is going to bo
veil represented in every department in
vhich the state makes an exhibit. The ag-
icultural exhibit is already very strong ,
aking rank with the best on the ground. "
Spealtlng of the request of the stock men
or funds for their department , Mr. Garncau
aid : "Tho stock men want some money
mil I realize that they ought to have U.
i'ho state ought to make a good showing in
Ivo stock , but I am at a loss to know where
ho money Is to come from. I have called a
neotlng at Lincoln on Mav " 0 to make what
ever arrangements may be found possible
or the special benefit of the livestock inter-
ests. Wo will give the live slock men some
money , of course , but 1 am afraid they will
lot get anyihlng like the amount that some
of them seem lo thlnlc they ought to havo. "
"How soon will the Nebraska building bo
n shape foi the reception of the public ? "
"With no bad luck wo will bo ready to re
ceive company in about a week from now.
The exposition as a whole will not be fully
open , however , before the beginning of June.
L'ho bad weather has added to the delay con
sequent upon the freight blockade , and al
though the work has been pushed with ro-
narkablo vigor It has been out of the ques
tion to got some of the departments in pre-
scnlablo shape any sooner. A great many
nen who have gene thcro lo work and manage -
ago the placing of goods have been taken 111
on account of the beastly weather. Mr. Secretary -
rotary Mobloy Is unable at present to bo out
of his room , although ho is improving rap-
dly , and I hope to sec him oui again in a day
or two. "
Mr. Garnoau said that the atlendanco had
lot been very largo since the opening as the
weather had been simply abominable. Ho
seemed to think the bad weather of which
Dmaha people have been complaining was of
.ho summer resort variety compared with
.ho brand that has been on tap for the last
nonth In Chicago.

Cyrus J. Kolscy. aged Co , a well-to-do con
tractor , and a leadlngcxhorter In South Lin
coln religious circles , is having n trial in
Judge Strode's court today on the charge of
incest. The complaining witness , now Mrs.
Kanna Young , is but a little over 10 years of
ago , and assorts that her father took ad
vantage of her Ignorance and innocence to
carnally debauch her ; and that she did not
know It was wrong until she confided the
story to her afllanced husb'ind , who caused
the old man's arrest. Some corroboratory
testimony was introduced tending to show
that attempts have boon made to com
promise the case by money settlements. The
defendant asserts that ho is the victim of a
conspiracy to bleed him forabigsum.

The Board of Fire and Pollco Commis
sioners field its regular weekly meeting last
ovonlng. The business transacted was
mainly of a routine natiiro ex
cept the retirement of Commissioner
C5eorgo I. Gilbert. Mr. ( Jllbert has served
six years uninterruptedly upon the board ,
and underwent the trials and tribulations
incident to Its organization. Thu members
expressed regret at his departure and
wished him well for the future. Ills wlso
counsel , they said , had been of great as
sistance to them and tlioy were loath to
part with It. Thcro was some cause for con
gratulation , howuver , in the fact that Com
missioner Howard B. Smith had been re
tained.
Police Officer Kirk was charged by A. F.
Ivcllner with having Interfered with the
latter In the legitimate pursuit of his busi
ness us an expressman at the union depot.
Ofllcer S. I ) . Cory was charged with havlnir
smokoil , read newspapers and pl.ijed card *
at engine house No. 8 while on duty. Both
men were fully exonerated.
Chief of Police Seavey asked'thtU his bond
as nil olllcer bo canco led , claiming th.it there
was no law which required him to pivo a
bond. Under the charter he is obliged to
take bail in bailable cases when the police
court is not In session , and this request is
made to exempt the chief from any liability
which might arise under this provision.
The request fora lire alarm box at Twenty-
fourth and Wirt streets was deferred one
week.
Captain Cormack's leave of absence was
extended thirty days ami George C. Crager's
ten days. Leave of absence was granted to
the following named employes of the iKillco
and fire dop.irtments : 1) . W. Her , K. D.
Mitchell , Henry W. Dunn and G. 11. Curry ,
flvo days , and Mark M. Starlcy nnd J.V. .
Fitzsimmons , ten days.
The chief of police reported that twenty-
live of his patrolmen nud two detectives had
on last Sunday visited and watched -07
saloons ot the city and wore unable to dis
cover any Infractions of the Sunday law.
This was considered by the members of the
board as a very fovorable she wing and it was
suggested that a copy of the report bo
forwarded to Kov. B. Kay Mills of revival
fame , in order to convince him that Omaha's
morality had not readied such a low ebb as
some of his statements might lead the outside -
side world to believe.
It was announced that the members of the
board would examine applicants for the fire
department on next Saturday afternoon at
2 p. m.
