The I.owu Avenue Presbyterian church , ftl
fortieth street and Lowe avenue , wai
formally onslgne < l to the spiritual guidance
of u now pastor yesterday afternoon. Rev ,
T. S. Hawley , formerly of Carson , la. , Is the
new vaster , nnd the churcli edifice was filled
to the doors to witness his Installation ami
give him an olllclal welcome to his new flcli
of service. Rev. W. W , Ha'sha , Rev. Johr
Gordon , Hov. Robert L. Wheeler and Bover.il
other Iccal pastoiu assisted In the services
and excellent music was furnished by ttu
( luartet choir.
The sermon wns delivered by Dr. Harsha
who took the church for his theme and ills'
CIIGSO I Its essential elements of usefulness
He declared that the Ch.istlan church waf
not compelled to apologize for Its existence-
Its history was sufficient justification. Kroir
Its earliest beginning the church had been
one of the greatest blessings the world 1ml
recelxed.
The speaker contended that In order It
attain Its greatest usefulness the churcli
should be conducted according to the model
set forth In the -llvlne xvtrtl. In this cliur.li
there wc-iii three essential elements , the
financial , the social and the spiritual. He
contended' Mbit the business affalrn of a
church should lie conducted according to the
same mctliBds which governed the policy ol
any othr. ' co partition. Everything should
bo admlnlntcred systematically and It was
first necessary that the habit of liberal glvlnf
on the port of the congregation should b <
cultivated. The social clement In chiiivli
work was equally valuable. It was by this
tl.ttt outslde.-s were brought Into the church
made to feel at home , and finally brought
Into a rellgtouc ? life. He particularly empha
sized the necessity fo' goad fellowship an-1
brotherly love In the church 111V , and that
sort of ii Inii'lshake that made the recipient
feel that the heart went with the hand.
In spe-iklng ot the njlrltunllty of tin
church , Dr. Harsha said that It was not only
necessary that the membership should ba si
composed as to give credible evidence of a
sincere devotion to Christian work , but eaoh
member should mike constant advances In
his o1 her religious life. Every .sernun that
\\as heard , cvety prayer meeting trial was
attended , should be made a hasis for u step
farther toward heaven. In conclusion , he
expiosaed the fervent hope that under Its
new paster this church would bo such a one
as the iMvluu will contemplated.
After the sermon , Rev. Ilawloy was
formally infetallo.l a * the pastor , and follow
ing this he ft.is InCornvally ni'-.df acquainted
with such members ol' ' the congregation as
lie had not previously met.

Jnmcs Mooncy , a representative of the bit-
lean of ethnology of the Department of the
Interior of the federal government , was In
Omaha a few days ago on route to the south ,
west corner of the United States , where he
Intends to resume his observations and
studies ot the social nnd religious organiza
tion of the Indian tribes c.f that portion of
the country. His stop In Omaha was for
the purpose of conferring with the manage
ment of the exposition regarding the Indian
exhibit to bo made by the government at
the exposition. Mr. Mooncy had charge ef
the Installitlon of the Indian exhibit at the
Nashville exposition nnd ho wishes to have
more space devoted to that feature of the
government exhibit nt the Transmlsrlsslppl
Exposition than Is given to It at Nashville.
Mr. Mronoy has devoted a number of yca-s
to the Investigation of the American Indian
along lines which have received but little
or no nttent'on ' heretofore. Ho has confined
his Invest Igitlotis lu this direction largely
to the Indians in the southwestern part of
the United States and has acquired a vast
fund of Information regarding the most
sacred tiadltlonsand customs of these In
dians , which throws a flood of light upon
their csrly history. In connection with thib
Investigation Mr. Mconey has made a thor
ough research Into what has proved to be a
complete system of hoinldry which has been
In use among certain of the Indian tribes to-
ages , the signs and symbols , with their mys
tic .significance and ceremonies. Lolng handed
down from generation to generation. It Is
the lesearches In this direction especially
whl"h mark Mr. Mooncy's work as a new
departure in the line of Indian investiga
tion.
JOINS ONE OF THE TIUBGS.
In the course of his Investigations Mr.
Mocncy , who Is a white man of scholarly
attainment : ? , became a member of the
Klowa-Apache tribe of Indians , a nomadic
tribe living In the southwestern part of the
United States In almost a primeval state He
was admitted to full membership lu the tribe
several years ago and has spent about two-
thirds of the time each year with the tribe ,
quietly pursuing his Investigations without
exciting the suspicion or distrust of the In
dians , and It Is the concrete result whHi
Mr. Mooney desires to depict In ting'.ble ' fo'm
at the exposition , and It Is this desire which
caused him to stop In Omaha on his way
to rejoin his tribe for the purprse ot con
tinuing his Investigations still further.
In"a conversation regarding his chosen
work , Mr. Mooney said he had found that
among the Klowa Indians their most Im-
por.ant religious ceremony was what Is
known among the white people as the "sun
dance , " a solemn cereiu&ny which was ob
served by the Indians at a stated time each
year when they were In the tribal state , but
which Is now observed only at rare Intervals
and without the pair.ii and ceremony which
attended Its performance In the early days.
Tin ; sun dauco of the Klowas dlflem very
materially from the ceremony of the same
name i.nvictlced by the northern Indians , who
Mcciute their bodies In a horrible fashion.
With the Klouas the dance Is what its name
indicates , fantastic gyraticns ot the limbs
and bodies , which continue until the dancer
falls exhausted , the ceremony being con
tinued four days nnd nights without inter
mission , the dancers not being allowed to cater
or Bleep during that time. The celebration
of this dance was an event of prime im
portance to every member of the tribe , and
every yc ir when the cotton commenced tr
blow from the cottonwool ! trees the Klowas.
no matter where they mlgnt be at the time ,
packed their tepees and started In haste for
the spot whce : the celebration was to be
held.
CONSIDER TRIBAL AFFAIRS.
Besides being a solemn religious ceremony ,
the event was a gathering of the tribe for
consultation regarding matters ot geneial In
terest , such as the choice of hunting grounds
for the coming season , deciding regarding
the wars to be waged on other tribes , and
other matte s of like nature. Every member
of the tribe was In duty bound to attend this
ceremony and It was in these gatherings
that the displays of the liernlilrla Insignia
were made which have formed one of the
main features of Mr. Mooney's Investiga
tions.
The last of these great gatherings of the
amalgamated tribes of the Klowas and
Apaches was held in June , 1SG7 , nnd Mr.
Mooney's desire Is to reproduce this encamp
ment , historically correct in every detail , as
a part of thu ethnological exhibit of the
TransmUsls.slppI Exposition. His Idea is to
show this great gathering of the tribes In
miniature , the whole camp , which In reality
covered u circular section of country about
ton miles In diameter , being spread over
about three acres of ground. In this camp
the tepees of the Indian families a'o ar-
panseil in a great circle , facing toward the
center. The tepees arc close together end
present nn unbroken line at all points except
at the east , where a wide srpaeo Is left for
an entrance. Each tepee is marked with
the emblem of the subdivision of the tribe
to which its owner belongs , and these sub
divisions are grouped about the circle in
the order of their precedence. In front of
each tepee Is erected a pole , on which arc
suspended the shield -and other war Imple
ments of the occupant of the tepee , each
shield being emblazoned with the heraldic
device of its owner. In the center of the
great circle formed by the tepees stands
the medicine lodge or temple , which shelters
the carved Image or Idol which Is typical
of the sun. Tills lodge faces the east and
back of It stands the tepee of the priests
Or medicine men and a small tepee In which
the daiu-crs are purified before entering upon
their energetic devotions.
REPRODUCED IN MINIATURE.
The encampment which Mr. Mooney de
sires to install as a portion of the Indian ex
hibit will consist of 250 tepee's , each of
.which Is about two and a half feet In di
ameter and about the simo In height. Those
miniature tepees have been made by Indians
and are historically correct representations
of the tepees which were In the circle at
the last great gathering ; of the tribes In the
summer of 1SU7. In addition to the tepees
Mr. Mooney has correct , reprcdticllons of the
shields nnd heraldic devices which were
iited at this celebration under the old regime.
The securing of this nuterMl reprcscntii
some of the results of patlortt" labors with
those Indians for years. The religious cere
monies are regarded as most sacred by the'
Indians and Mr. Mooney stated that it re
quired the most patient and repeated efforts
to gain the confidence of the Indians be
fore he was able to secure the material com
posing this most valuable collection.
The symbols emblazoned on the tepees of
these Indians have a peculiar significance
tu them , and the decorative work Is accom
panied by the most tolemn religious cere
monies. One of the unwritten laws of the
tribe prohibits any member from making a
decoration which belongs to any subdivision
except the one of which ho Is a member.
After the confidence of the Indians had been
secured sufilclently to allow the models of
the tepees to bo made Mr. Mooney states
that ho was obliged to secure the servlceu
cf one or morn Indians In each of the six'
subdivision Into which the tribe was di
vided In 16C7. The subdivisions were these :
Ree , E k , Klowa proper , Big Shields , Kiowa-
Apacbe and Black Boys. This work was
finally accomplished and the models Ere now
belcg made. A number are completes ! and
by the time the cxpcv'lton : opens the full
numter will bo ready for exhibition.
In securing the reproductions of the
shloldf , however , Mr. Mooney encountered
his greatest difficulty. The tribal law for
bidding the making of a tucru of another
subdivision applies with greater force to the
making of the hlileldtj Mr. Moonuy ex
plained the origin of the emblems on these
shields , -which throws light upon the dilll-
culty encountered lu securing reproductions
of them ,
As told by Mr , Mooney the utory of ( be
shields runs about like tbUi In the early
days of the trlbo n old warrior would call
the tribe together ana/after / performing cer
tain solemn ceremonies befitting the occa.
jlon would Inform hU hearers that ho had
had a vision and h d been commanded tc
make a certain number of shields , ten foi
Instance , hearing n certain emblem. He
would give notlco .Ihtt ho would comply
with the Instructions of the spirits nnd
would deifcrlLo the decoration which be had
been ordered to p | co upon these shield *
He could not make any shields , however
Until some member of the tribe who had nc
shield asked him for one. He would then
unfold to the. applicant some of the condi
tions with which tltti spirits had said he
must comply before he could become the
possessor of that particular kind ot shield ,
If tlnxe conditions did not frighten the ap
plicant away the sbluld would be made and
would bo consecrated In the most solemn
fashion after a form of ceremony Imparted
to the maker of the shPold nt the time of the
vlMon. Other warriors had visions In the
same manner and furnUhed shields to the
young warriors. In this way It carnc nbout
that the decorations on the shields had nc
connection whatever with the symbolism on
the tepees.
*
In order to get reproductions of these
shields Mr. Mooney was obliged to find one
member of the tribe for each of the many
different kinds ot decoratLns nnd learn
from him the significance of the device , Its
origin , and the ceremony accompanying Its
consociation. This was a mast laborious-
task , but It has been accomplished and the
complete system of heraldry ot these Indians
has been formulated , the significance ol
which has thrown light upon the ea-ly his
tory of the tribe and affords one means ol
tracing the travels and origin ot this brancli
of the human race.
Mr. Mooney Is strongly of the opinion
that the Installation of this miniature camp
of the Klotvfis at the exp-sltlon would af
ford much food for study for the student
of ethnology and would form a most Im
rortant link In any exhibit Intended to rep
resent the history nnd progress of the Amer
ican Indian. Heconferred with some of the
members of the executive committee re'gard-
lug the matter and It is highly probable
that when the time comes to make detailed
arrangements for what will undoubtedly be
the mcst extensive Indian exhibit ever seen
In the world Mr. Mnoncy'a very valuable
assistance will be Invoked and utilized to the
utmost.

Ira F. Burroughs , an Inmate of the
soldiers' home at Mllford , Is In the city
spending a few days with friends. The
lire-sent commandant of the Mllford Soldlcra'
home Is John M. Fowler , formerly a resident
: -f this city. A short time age Mr. Burroughs
had a dispute with the commandant in
regard to the placing of a picture of Prcsl-
ilent McKlnloy on the walls In one of the
rooms of 'the ' Institution. In a recent issue
at the "Veteran , " a paper devoted to the
Interests ot the old soldiers , Judge Fowler
gave his vcrsbn of thu dllllculty , but Pri
vate Burroughs has not as yet been given
an opportunity to state his side of the case.
In speaking about the matter yesterday
Mr. Burroughs said that about the middle
of last 'August ' Commandant Fowler hung a
picture of Bryan hi the office roam of the
home. "StMii after this , " said Mr. Bui-
roughs , "I procured a fine portrnlt of Presi
dent McKlnloy and stored It in tin ; back
room of the olllce until such time as It could
bo hung , but that time never came. Com
mandant Fowler go'j his eyes on the picture
and not only removed It from the office but
ordered his adjutant to make out a din-
charge for me for having the audacity to
attempt to place the portrait ofthe president
of the United States on an equality with
that of Candidate Bryan. Commandant Kow-
Icr Is naturally a kind-hearted man , but in
his zeal to make himself solid with the politi
cal party which appointed him to a small of
fice he allowed his partlzanshlp to Kct away
with his judgement. I am at present un fur
lough but expect to return to the home BOOH.
Commandant Fowler has not spoke-n to me

A Gypsy camp has been located In the
vicinity of the South Omaha brewery. Yes
terday there was considerable excitement at
the camp , owing to the fact that one of tliu
dusky damsels was missing. At an early
hour of the morning the police were notified
by Thomas Stanley , one of the Gypsies , that
bis wife could not bo found and he askc-d the
assistance of the police in locating her. The
officers did what they could , hut did not suc
ceed in discovering her whe.eab.outs. Then
Chief Brcmian called up the police at a num
ber of smaller towns and gave a description
of the woman. During the afternoon word
was received from Louisville that Mrs. Stan
ley wns there and was anxious to return to
her fi lends and family. The husband v/as
notified and lie talked to his wife for a few
minutes over the telephone and then started
for Louisville. From what Mrs. Stanley said
to hc-r husband she started out for a walk
and darkness coming on she lost her way.
She kept on walking In hopes of reaching a
town and finally arrived at Louisville In an
exhausted -condition.
ApiHMlls from Cnum-ll's IJi-olxlon.
Louis Henders-m , Twenty-fifth anJ II
streets , has commenced suit In the district
court to compel Hie city to pay him damages
oil account of grading of Twenty-fifth street.
When the appraisers looked over the ground
they decided that Henderson wns not enti
tled to any damages by reason of the change *
of grade , and so reported. This report was
accepted by the council. Frcm statements
madeby the city engineer and city attorney
It appears that Henderson was apprised of
the fuct that the > street was to ho graded
before ho ccmmonced the erection of hi-
house. The city engineer even went BO fai
ns to visit the locality and mark the levels
Fhown In the profile. HendfrBon , however ,
built his house on the low land after sev
eral notices had been served , and for that
reason the councilthought : as the apprais
ers did that HendursDli was not entitled to
damages.
