Indian p lce In eJeclng a s.Uler , and at cnco
returnell to the agency to arrest the Indian
police . for whom he hns warrant.
A report reached here at I o'clock that the
ahert and his deputy were locke up at the
agency Jai , ard that a large company of
Indians was guarding them The report
created Intense excitement here , and talk of
getting up a company to go to their rescuE
was heard throughout the town.
At 7:30 : p. m. the sheriff returned from the
reservation , without the Indians he went t
after . but says they were secrete and could
not be found. lie says that the deputy
Vetted States marshal , rep3rted to have gone
there to SWEar In more men , did not show up
at 'Vlnnebagc toilay but Is somewhere on
the reservation serving notices on lessees to
4cate. lie says. however , that Captain Deck
advised him not to attempt to arrest any of
the Indians , and also that Deck threatened to
arrest him , but did not do so.
The Indians were receiving their weekly
Issue of beef and four , and almost the whole
tribe of Wlnnebago were at the agency to
day , but he claims that there were no signs
of any trouble , and seems to be of the liii -
pression that nil the talk of Deck Intending to

had he found the men he was In search of

II" Jlockman of Stella 'IJres that It 1 (
Made the Btate Flower.
From lao earliest hlsl , y mankind has
'
made use of fewer and 'folage as emblem.
The Greek athlete was prouder of his wreath
of olive or laurel than ht wou1 have been
ot a circlet of gold. Mal of the gods and
godllesses had their sacrtd flowers . Modern
cites and nations have often , formally . or
merely by popular sentiment . adopted certain L
fl ewers or plants to represent the peculiar ,
trais of their people SO \VO have England ,
the queen of nations , choosing the rose , the I
queen of flowers. The Emerald Isle Is known I
everywhere by " ( lie little green shamrock. " .
The sturdy Scotch love their hearty thiste , ,
wearIng above Us rough coat the regal color
France has her royal lilies and her modest L
violet , which stirs yet the hard heart of the
almlrer of Napoleon Anti so the list grows .
This Is but natural. As fewer are the
poetry of nature , so the poetic instincts of : f
all mankind turn to them for sympathy and 1
expression
A national fewer for this country has been
much discussed of late years. But so far :
no formal acton has been taken by congress
In the meantme why should not each state
adept Its peculiar emblem ? There Is not
much of poetry or sentiment In a ribbon :
badge with the ( label "Nebraka. " How much
more satisfactory to pin on your lapel a I
bright blossom and so be recognized every
where as ( ho . son of one of the granlest
states In thIs grand union of ours.
Our legislature Is now considering a reso- I
luton favoring the golden rod as our stat
fewer , and. I believe , In passing I they
would make a wise choice. The violet Is I
vell known over the state blt that ( Is already -
ready Interwoven with the history of aide
countries. The sunflower Is brave. bright
and handsome , even If plebeIan and somewhat L
what over-bah but that belongs to our sister
state , Kansas. Probably there Is only one
rival to the golden rod , its close associate ,
tim purple aster. But for many reasons , notably :
ably uniformity of color , the golden rod Is I
preferable. There Is probably not a nook
or corer of the state where one or more
of the numerous species are not found I ?
Is a native . and only a true native should t IC
our representative.
I has a long season , though poets have always I-
ways associated It with late autumn. The
finest of specimens are found In August , and
the latest flowers brighten sheltered places
laIc In October. Its courage under hardship i-
ship Is admirable , and nothing could beth 'r
represent the hardy endurance of Nebraska ;
pioneers.
I Is both beautiful and graceful so much
I that If It grew only In green houses the
rich would be ready to spend their gold for
But now Ils free to the poorest , bloomIng -
Ing In every dooryard and orchard , along I
every village and suburban street.
The golden rod Is admirably adapted to
decorative purposes , both Indoors and ou it .
I keeps its freshness for days ] after cuttin .
and even dries well. \\hlchls 0 rare not ) c1
qualy among flowers. ; . - , : -
Its color Is the most beautiful In nature
the color of the sunshlhe , the color of our
King Corn . the color of god ] , most precious
of metals. Yet no onb ca\ accuse golden
rod of being a monometalst , for much of
the foliage shows decedly a silvery cast ,
for surely the gold and tliq green are kept on ,

backed by some eastern capitalists. These I
men secured the right of way In a southeasterly -

passing through Greley county to the Done I

The land to hI penetrated by the canal Is I
as prolific as any In the entire stato. The

Eleven miles from Ericson , near Clear creek C ,
there are three natural basins co\'erlng
