picmo chief ranger.
It Is pioposed after the ceremony Is com
pleted and an adjournment Is taken that a
public reception ehall be held In the hall ,

The "state high court" will bo a term eas
ily understood Ity members ot fraternal and
beneficial orders. It Is simply arlothdr1 dds1-
Ignatlon for tlio more common phraeo "otate
lodge. " It will be a body with restricted
legislative powers , which will have In rhargu
the management of' thtJ affairs of Foresters
In this state. In the past the members In
Nebraska have been governed by the eu-
prcmo court , with headquarters In Canada.
Ucforo a state high court can bo Instituted
at loc.it five subordinate courlu must be In
existence. During the past two months an
active organizer has been In the field In
preparation for the event , and at present , as
a consequence , there arc seven courts In the
state.
The event of public Interest which will
occur In connection with the Indian's visit
to Omaha will transpire at Uoyil's theater
In the evening. A grand public meetIng -
Ing will be luld. The chief feature will be

Thcro Is every Indication that the meet
ing will be largely attended and the audl-
rncc will pack the house. This will he In
preat measure duo to the curiosity of the
public to listen to an Indian. Special In

fraternal and business men of the city ,
and tlioy have In n big majority of cases
accepted. These invitations bavo been ex
changed for reserved seats. The committee
having the mutter In charge desires It to
bo understood ( hat no scats will bo hold
nfter 8:30 : o'olcek , as tbn house will bo thrown
open to the public at that hour.

of the > order In this vicinity ,
SKUTCIi OF TUG CHIEF ,
Oronhyatckha was born a full-blooded
Mohawk Indian , upon the reservation near
Brantford , Out. , In ISII. Ills education wn.i
begun at homo In an Industrial school , es
tablished by the New England company for
the training of young Indians. This school
was the stcpplngstono to Wesleyan academy
at Wllhraham. Mass. , where ho passed sev
eral terms before going to Ken ) on college ,
Ohio , wherehe remained two years , This
course was followed by another at Toronto
university , OronhyatcUha all the while being
entirely dependent upon his own resource. " .
Even BH early as Kcnyon college days
Oronhyatckha displayed evidences of that
shrewdness. lioHliicps and ability us an or
ganizer that lm marked Ms entire course ,
Apropos of these charactcrliitlcs Is a stoiy
coming from his college associates to tlio
effect that , finding his limited exchequer
nearly depleted at then end of one term and
thn chances for another consequently at the
vanishing point , ho organized an Indian
show. With ono "really" Indian nnd sovcial
of the most raw-boned white men ho could
Induce to receive Ir.atructlons In war dances ,
HOURS nnd blood-curdling war whoops , and
bepalntPil and feather-trimmed to suit the
requirements of tlio show , ho put In the
O.A.JSTCXETT.A. .
vacation "starring" through the country ,
with the result that the next seanon found
the young showman , In the language of the
street , with "money to burn. "
H was only whlla Oronhyatekha was n
student at Kcnyon college that the prince of
Wales made his memorable visit to Canada.
The chiefs of the Six Nations deputized him
to deliver an address to the eon of the "Great
Mother , " as they called the queen. The Im
pression the young Indian made upon the
prince and the royal party was so favorable
that he was Invited to continue bin studies
at Oxford , Eng. , under Iho care of Sir Henry
Acland , rcglus professor of medicine. He
graduated from the Institution after a full
course In medicine.
After his Oxford days Oronhyatckha mar
ried a woman of his own race , and to them
have been born several children , only two
of whom have lived. The son , Acland , was
a graduated physician , but Is now engaged
In looking after the Interests of Forestry In
England. The other child Is a daughter.
She U Intellectually active and progressive ,
Is a musician , a superb horsewoman and
ono who can row and shoot like the prover
bial woman of her race.
Dr Oronhyatekha has several homes , but
the ono nearest his heart ID situated In the
midst of his people In tha reservation In
which ho was born. H Is located near De-
scronto , Ont.
MEMI1EH OF MANY OHDEUS.
Oronhyatekha Is prominent In many or
ders. Ho at ono time held the ofllcci of supreme
premo templar of the Independent Order of
Good Templars , the highest office In that
body. In masonry he lies received the de
grees of the lloyal Arch chapter , Knight
Templar , thirty-third degree In th& Scottish
rlto and that of the Mystic shrine , and also
most worshipful grand master mason of the
Dominion of lloyal and Oriental Masonry.
The Independent Order of Foresters , of
which Dr. Oronhyatekha Is the head , was
founded In Newark. N. J. , In 1874. It pur
sued a somewhat tempestuous course for
some years , which finally culminated In a
separation of some of the membership nnd
the formation of a new body , the Foresters
ot Illinois. In 18S1 , after this separation ,
the management of the present body was
transferred to Canada , at which time It was
reorganized and placed on Its present basis.
At * Its reorganization only 3C9 members cast
their lols with the now leaders , and the
society started afresh with an Indebtedness
of over $4uu0. Slnco then the order has
extended throughout Canada , the northern
nnil ivratiM-n Rlnlni nf tills COIlntrV. ami W3S
recently planted ill Great Britain and Ire
land , whcro there are now over 200 sub
ordinate courts. There Is a total of 2.COO
courts In existence.
All thla entailed very heavy expendi
tures. Iut ) notwithstanding this , nnd
the fact that over $4.000,000 have been
been paid In benefits lo the members of the
order and to the widows and orphans of
deceased foresters , there was a surplus on
December 1 , IS9G , of $2OOICC5 remaining
from the small monthly contributions paid
by the members , and ths little band of 3Cl !
bad Increased on November 1 to 100,015.
The death rate of the order has steadily
decreased. In ISSO It was 10.03 ; In 1831 It
had been reduced to C.40 , and since then
the mortality rate haa been as follows : In
1S92 , C.25 : In 1S93 , 5.47 ; In 1S94 5.47 ; In 1895 ,
5.C7. The rate for the first ten months of
1S9G WES equivalent to an annual rate of 5.30.
The order has a standing monument of Its
prosperity In a magnificent temple building
In Toronto , which was completed and dedi
cated last fall. This building is ten stories
In height , and Is in every respect modern.

Miss Edna Newton Is a beautiful , well
educated and altogether charming young
woman of Perkins county , this ft a to , agalnat
whom not one word of reproach could ever
bo said , but she Is apt to enjoy considerable
notoriety In the near future. This Is all
because the IJurllngton railroad has grown
wmry of providing her with a private gov
erness and securing for her an education
beyond the means of most Nebraska girls.
The rallro'id company will , during the next
week , enter n formal protest with the court
of Perkins cqunty against a continuance of
Iho custom that has given the young woman
an education In such nn agreeable manner
at Its expense.
Miss Edna Newton Is the only child of
school age or any other ago In school
district No. G4 , Perkins county. The school
board of that district consists of her father ,
who Is the moderator of the Hoard ot
Directors ; her mother , who Is another
director , but without other title , and one
Frank W. Hastings , the treasurer of the
board. The latter has no children. For
several years past these three directors have
met In annual session and voted a school
tax to the full limit. The money so raised
has been expended In educating the only
child In the school district. A school
teacher , reputed to be. a comely young
woman , has been engaged for the purpose
of educating Edna. As Edna was her only
pupil , It seemed quite fitting that she should
board at the Newton residence and Instruct
Mm vntttKf Mm nt hntno It e'opmofl more than
fitting to Mr. and Mrs. Newton , and when
the teacher was engaged H was with the
understanding , It Is said , that she should
board with the Newtons at a good weekly
rate.
rate.A little misunderstanding between Hast
ings and the Newtons and a slight irregu
larity In connection with the last annual
meeting , when the school tax was voted ,
have given the whole snap away and Is
responsible for the legal Interference of the
nurllngton railroad. The annual meeting of
the school district was to have been held on
June 29 , 1896 , at 4 o'clock In the afternoon.
Mr. Newton , the moderator , had three
notices to this effect posted Ini the school
district , and they were all signed by Mra.
jNcwton , a director. Hastings , the third
member of the board , saw the notices , and
appeared at the Newton residence at the
appointed time. He was Informed , how
ever , that the annual meting had been held
In the morning at 9 o'clock and the school
tax for the year levied. It appears that
Mr. and Mrs. Newton held a short consulta
tion after breakfast on that day and decided
to hold the annual meeting without the third
member. It was known that ho might ob
ject to the re-cngasament of a governess for
Edna at the expense of the district , BO It
was deemed best to give him no opportunity
to make a minority report. This untimely
change of tlio meeting hour ban given the
railroad company a peg on which to hang
Its case , and It will therefore ask the court
to declare all the acts of that morning meet
ing In the Newton bouse Illegal and void.
The total tax on the railroad company by
school district No , C4 for 1S9& wan $1G7.1S.
The valuation In the district was $10,21)2.59 ,
to which the railroad company contributed
fG.CS7.uO , and the latter was assessed for the
year at the rate of $3,300 per mile. Mr. and
Mrs. Newton at their annual meeting voted
a. tax of 25 mills on the dollar for school
purposes. They certified the tax to the
county clerk. , and the latter duly entered It
on the tax lists ot the county. A teacher
was engaged for the year. All the proceed
ings were by viva voce. Father Newton , put
ting the questions and Mother Newton responding
spending with a faint "aye. "
Now the Ilurllngton has taken the matter
up and requepts Its legal department to
make a full study of the case and do what
ever noislble to nrevcnt the further educa
tion of Ednaat the expense of the railroad
company. Attorney Deweese will go to
Perkins county next week to ask for an
injunction , and will then present to the court
an elaborate and critical review of the case
prepared by Assistant General Solicitor
Kelby of the legal department. In this brief
It Is alleged that the Burlington alone pays
for Edna's education and the board of the
school teacher. This li considered unfair ,
"becaiire the Durllngton Is neither a parent ,
brother nor foster sinter of Edna. " It Is
said that the taxes levied against the rail
road for Edna's tuition and for the promo
tion of the welfare of the parents and traehcr
may bo on the score of "general welfare , "
but the company Is unwilling to pay taxes
levied on that score.
The railroad company alleges that such
a practice as has been In vogue for several
years past Is unconstitutional because the
maintenance and support of a governess out
of Us contribution to the school fund Is
"ultra vires. " Hastings alleges that the
nets of the annual meeting are unconstitu
tional because he was outwitted and the hour
of the meeting unduly changed. The rail
road company wants the school district , as
a nuisance , abated unless more children of
school age bo provided. The company sub
mits that the act of the legislature , behind
the shield of which the Newtons operate ,
never contemplated that one child should
constitute a whole school nor that one
scholar Is a school.

The Iowa railroads are at present hearing
many arguments In favor of the establish
ment of fcedlng-ln-translt rates on fccdoro.
The matter has been taken up by the lowr.
representatives of the loails and will be car
ried to the Chicago headquarters. It Is
thought that there a decision to put In such
rates will be reached , In a letter to The
lice Charles D. Thompson of this city asks :
"If this scheme. Is good for Iowa , why is It
not good for Nebraska ? "
The Nebraska railroads think that It Is a
good thing and that Is the reason they bavo
had It in force for the past ten years. On
Dt'cembcr 15 there wore 70,000 cattle and
325,000 ehccp feeding In Nebraska because
of this fccding-ln-translt rate. It In esti
mated that about the same number of cattle
and sheep are feeding In the state today
because of these ruled. The number of
ahcep has practically remained unchanged.
Some of the cattle have been shipped lo
maiket , but as many more have come Into
the feeding points to take their places.
All the Nebraska railroads have lejued cir
culars on thcbo fccdlng-ln-transll rates. Tlio
Elkhorn to mo time ago Issued such circulars ,
today makes ouch rates where possible on
requcwt.
This rate Is explained as a through rate.
For Instance , from Now Mexico to South
Oma'.m or Chicago , as the shlper elects , with
privilege of unloading for feeding purposes
at any station I in Nebraska , and when the
stock Is rendy for market , in tnreo or alx
months , le-shlp to South Omaha or Chicago
on the old bill of lading , paying an extra
charge of $10 a car above the through rate , a
compensation dun the carrier for the trouble
of setting out the stock at Nebraska feedIng -
Ing points and of returning to complete the
haul to market after It has been sufllclcntly
fed.
fed.Tim
Tim question of fceding-ln-translt rates la
not a new ono. The qutiitlon has been up
before the Ncbratka railroads savral times
and they have uniformly held that It waa
moro beneficial to the feeding point ulonj ;
their I'cspcctlvn lines and Indirectly to them
to have such rates hi effect. Last May the
matter wan fully considered by the freight
traile ! department of the Union 1'aclflo rail-
load ,
At that time a letter on the subject wan
written to an Interested party nnd In that
were given the following reasons for the
existence of Hiicli a rate : "This department
believes that If the grain along our lines
In Nebraska and Kansas were not largely
fed that tlio price would fall below coat to
the grower ami result In 'a greater restriction
of all ot our resources thereby than Id
economized by the producer In the amount
ot toaunBO kept oft tlio rail by feeding It.
Then there arc the hc&s , which follow the
cattle that move out Jon cattle rates , ant
generally n long hdul on the cattle am
sheep from the farvwcst Into the fccdlni
points , as agnlnit a short hau
and short earning * for the Unloi
Pacific proper on thwgrain to the Missouri
river. Then It makes' a market for coarse
feed , employment ofumen and their team *
during the Idle month * ot winter , brings
ciitoldc money Into'the plate for feeding
purposes , which : ls distributed to the
producer nnd the tradesman dependent upon
them , makes our towns livelier than they
would otherwise bo and gives us Indirectly
a premium on all grain that Is fed. A
great many of the cattle arc brought Into
South Omaha from the far west and arc reshipped -
shipped back at three-quarter rate and then
out again , some ot them liable to RO Into
the car three times , and when they do , It
will more than eclipse any revenue available
from the haul ot the grain ,
Whllo 500.001 buahcls ot grain grown
tributary to one station may seem to have
been In a measure sacrificed to feeding pur
poses , the merchandlst business from Ilia
point has been increased , more traveling
lias'becn done on our passenger trains , more
hands and heads put to work and a greater
general good has resulted to all concerned. '
AMUSEMENTS.
Frederick Wardo and a largo and falrl >
ePlclent company opened a short season o :
"the legitimate" last night at the Crclghton
presenting "Richard III. " It would Bcem
that Shakespearean tragedy Is not absolutely
demanded by the Omaha play-going public
at present , at least for a Sunday night's
entertainment , for tlio audience was not
largo. H may without impropriety , how
ever , bo called enthusiastic , and appeared
to be pleased with what It saw and heard.
Mr. Warde's method Is well known am'
generally admired. Ho gives n strong and
for the most part convincing representa
tion ot the royal hunchback and hla read
ings arc as usual with few exceptions market !
by dlscrlmlratlon and scholarship. The
wooing scene , however , nlwaj-s a difficult
ono lo har.Ole , was Invested with a groEa-
nwn which seems unnecessary. The disgust
ing mounting or the nanti oi iauynine ,
and the exulting vociferations uttered with
in easy hearing of the funeral train , struck
ono as being quite Incongruous and fatal
to conslstercy. The version of the play
used Is the Ingenious one of Colley Gibber ,
with a first act specially adapted by Mr.
Warde.
Of the company , Mr. Vlnton , Mr. Turner
and Mr. Erntot Wardo made the most favor
able impression , as Buckingham , Stanley am !
Ratcllffo respectively.
Augustus Thomas' familiar and ever-wel
come "Alabama" began a week's engage
ment last night at Iloyd's , under the man
agement and with the active participation
of Mr. Clement Dalnbrldgc. H will bo re
membered that this house was opened six
years ago by this same delightful play , pre
sented by an exceptionally strong company.
Comparisons between that organization and
the one which now hoe the piece in hand
would U3 obviously unjust and uncalled-
for. Mr. Dalnbrldge has headed companies
playing "Alabama" In several Omaha ap
pearances subsequent to that original per
formance , and has always given satisfaction
to a public which has reason to be grateful
to him for keeping so sweet and wholesome
a play upon the stage. "Alabama , " breath
ing the fragrance of Uic magnolia and the

"With such attractions why didn't you ad-
vertlso the meeting extenslvo'y ? " was
asked Secretary Willis at the close ot the
men's meeting at the association rooms yes
terday afternoon.
"Well , " said the secretary , "there are sev
eral reasons. I expect the real reason wan
my deslro to begin an experiment with the
Sunday meetings. You know tnat wo now
hold our men's meetings in the reception
room , because they are so much moro In
formal than when 1iold In the auditorium.
My scheme la to malco the meetings so in
teresting that men will not stay away. Take
the meet ! > ng this afternoon , for Instance.
Our building wouldn't 'have ' held the men
had it been widely known that the F'isk Ju
bilee singers would sing three times. As It
was we had a fine audience. These men will
ho on band as often as possible , for they
have found that the meetings are always
lirlght and Interesting. Did the men enjoy
the singing ? Well , I should pay so. It
waa the first tlmo I have ever heard an
audience at a men's gospel meeting forget
tself and applaud heartily. The address by
flev. Mr. Slsson of Fremont was very help-
lul. "

DEAR JACK
This will introduce you to the Shoe Department of the
Nebraska. It is the only place in the country , as far
as I know , where you can buy real Box Calf Shoes for
men at $3.00 a pair. I have seen the same shoe sold
in exclusive shoe stores for $5.00 , and I have seen them
sold for $4 oo , but never less. I know of no better
shoe for winter than the Box Calf Shoe. They keep
the feet dry in wet weather and save the expense of
rubbers , which am a nuisance , anyway. Besides , they
are handsome looking shoes , and when polished they
shine like an enamelled shoe , The young man who
waits on you at The Nebraska will explain their mer
its , and you can bolievc what he says , for 'twould be
as much as his job is worth to tell you anything that
ain't so. While yon are in you might look at their
other $3.00 shoes in Ox Blood and Rio finish , with ex
tension soles. And ask them to show you that Good
year welt , solid calf , at $2.50 , wlrch they say is the
greatest shoe in the world for the price. Several people
ple I know of are wearing 'em , and they say they
can't wear 'em out , You can mention my name if you
like , but it won't make any difference , as they treat
everybody just alike and they have only one price to
all. Yours , Joe ,
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT "THEY LIVE
WELL WHO LIVE CLEANLY. ' ' IF YOU USE

1U ho Imagine that sonio citizens of the
country thought ho was running a matrimonial
menial bureau.
The blow was delivered through the morn-
ng's jnall. The letter was from a prominent
oweler and merchant of Klngbbury , la. ,
vlioae name Is withheld by the chief for fear
hat the publication of it might embarrass
ilm. The communication Is as follows :
I Imvo n Gorman friend here , about 41
cars of age , who lmu been In thla country
some years nnd luia a few hundred dollars
n the bank , lie IH an old batch nnd wlslie.s
o marry HOIIIO Gorman v\omm near Ills

ho l.s very poor , If all right otherwise ,
lo Is tiblo to give a woman a fnlrly good
ionic and IB all light an a man , sober ,
udiistrlouu and fairly good looking. Think-
UK perhni'B you or sonio of your men

i husband , i tnoupiii i AVOUHI wnio at nm
equost. If you know of such a woman
on will confer a favor to both of the par
ies by making the fart known to me , 'when
vo can open up correspondence.
The letter closes with the Information that
ho wrlter'4 "German friend" la willing to
pay all reasonable expense In the matter ,
'ho writer also enclosed the name of a local
rm as reference regarding his "reliability
or truthfulness. " Ho enclosed a stamp fern
n anawer ,
"I have no German woman at hand at the
resent tlmo that will nil th"so require-
iipnts , " said the chief. "As ago cuts no Ire ,
lowover , I have no doubt that In a very
hort tlmo T will bo able to close the deal ,
f there Is such a woman In Omaha I will get
icr for that man , even If I have to put

In order to facilitate matters , however , ap-
llcatlons for the position can bo made
