THE OMAHA DAILY BEti : TUESDAY , MARCH 15 , 1808. if . ' NEWS FROM THE FARTHER WEST LAW OF REST FOR THE UTE Adaptation of the Commandments to Bait His Peculiar Taato. RATION DAY HE HAS A JUBILEE HU CJrrnt Intercut In the Slnnnhtor IloiMc niul Hit Nenr-by Odor _ i 1'rowlltiK UIIKN niul Work of the 5 "Six days * halt thou labor not ; likewise < ! o nothing , and on the seventh day shalt thou draw rations. " This Is the golden rule , ten commandment * In one , psalm of lite , and. briefly , the single , fixed , unchange able , eternal maxim of the Utcs , writes Paul Ward Beck from "White Rocks to the S lt lake City Tribune. To make a poor play on words , ono might think It to have been Inc'ilcated Into them toy a Maxim gun , 30 firmly is it Implanted. On the six days when ho "labors not" the Ute Is picturesque , Indolent , and , to coin a word for hl especial benefit , gambler. * * ! s plcturesqucness Is shown In his every net and attitude ; It covers him like a mantle , from tbr crown of his decorated sombrero to the cut beads on his buckskin moccasins It H his sole business and , llko any other specialist , ho excels at It. It shows when he mounts his horse at a leap , never design ing to touch a stirrup ; It shows when he hancs around hlfl Inamorata's ramp ana plays love tunes on his flute ; It shows when ho moves , speaks or performs the moat trifling act. The very manner In which .10 rolls a cigarette or places twoblto on the "Caballo d& copas" at monte Is picturesque. By the- way , speaking of the We and monte ; there are few who can beat him at It. lo watch a game among them ono would sup- PMO H to be perfectly square , upright ancj holiest. The dealer takes no percentage and pays full In the door , but there are also nets behind the curtain during every per formance. A We dealer can "pull double and deal "forty twos" with the very best Juarez professional , and they are said to bo abln to teach the man who Invented tlio the Indiana detect game how to deaU When tect ono of their own number at any of tne common tricks at monte they merely take from the liank the amounts bet on the killed card ; -but - If a stranger bo he Mexican or white Is caught In the act , Wah had bes bo relegated to that part of his mental garret for the storage of "has been thorcs. ir ho does not so relegate It his coppery brethren * So much ( or little ) for what Mr. Man-on- a-dog-trot does on six days ; but how does ho dlspurt himself on the seventh ? ro De- gin with , ho assembles or congregates , us ually to the number of 200 or more , at the agency. In his Navajo blanket and ocraphlc t\vo-by-clght smllo and with his wedded wife as an accompaniment ( and pack-horse ho comes. This occurs from Just after day break until 0 a. m. At that witching hour he , accompanied by the aforcmentlonec beast ot burden , adjourns to the slaughter house , about a quarter of a mile below the agency ; Just far enough away to spread , In the early , quaking , blushing , mlaty diys o spring , a calm , pungent , Insidious odor across the acacias and among the cedars to gree the welcoming nostril. In fact , this ulaugh tcr-houso Is ono ot Colonel Randletto wlso provisions whereby the employes ore made acquainted with the blrth-ot spring , with Us long , listless , dreamy d-Jfa and buddlnj , flowers. It also apprises them that It Is tlmo to plant cabbages and onions. ' , RATION""DAY. . . Lot us now consider that our friend , Mr Man-on-o-dog-trot , has reached the goal o his weekly pilgrimage , and that he sits In regal splendor , ruling , like Solomon ot old among his wives and progeny. With an 1m perlous gesture ho motions Mrs. Man-on-a- dog-trot No. 1 to assume her position In the line of squaws ( If Indeed she Is not already there ) which packs'itself about and Into the door of the long , log slaughter-house , which Is the mcst popular nnd attractive edifice on the reservation , If wo take the testimony of any of the Wcs and It Uiey don't know who does1 It Is a picturesque eight to observe thl bevy of beauties "lined up for action" In al their glory , ready to march to the front dee and carry away any or all of the eight cattl which are distributed weakly to the Whlti River and Ulntah Wos. Down at the lowe agency at Ouray , the UncompJhgrcn are alsi rationed and draw the stores weekly. Then the aquawa are permitted to do tbo cutting up of the cattle which are Issued , after an employe ot the agency had dispatched them -with a Winchester bullet. It Is a sickening Ight to watch the old bags at their work They begin before the very breath has let the anlniali' bodies , and , In less tlmo than It takes to. tell of the deed In fact , so rapidly as to almost border upon the Incredulous nothing remains saro the hoofs , horns am beads and brains. An effort bis been mad to stop this barbaric practice ot pcrmlttln the women to do the butchering , and It I to bo hoped that It will prove successful But this > , U digressing. It may bo of lntere.it to know how th cattle which are Issued to these Indians ar handled ; what provision la made for thcl delivery and keep. Every two weeks th contractor delivers at the corral adjolnln the nlaugdter house sixteen steers , which ar weighed and vouched for by a comml&slonei officer from Fort Duchcsne. The cattle ar then driven Into a narrow chute an branded I. D. ( Interior department ) by Id agency herder. Then , In summer time , clgl are killed and cut up for Immediate Issu and the remainder are sent on the range fo R week under charge ot a competent herder These eight are destined for the next week' Issue. During -tho winter all sixteen sue cumb to the Winchester aud knlfo at tb eatno tlmo and the eight which are set neld for the next week's use are hung up In th slaughter house , where they freeze solid ; 1 fact they are so solid that a corps of axmc Ms employed to hack the frozen meat Inl chunks ot the right size. No knlfo caul possibly do the work. Each Ute receive seven pounds of beef per week , so It can b scon that a man who la so fortunate as t have n good sized family farcis well Indcoi This ot coureo la lei addition to the flour , baking powder , bacon and household goods which are furnished ( hem. All articles above mentioned , save the household goods , are Usued weekly. These are Issued annually , and consist ot etoves , clothing ot all kinds , comforts , kitchen utensils , axes , garden Im ; plements and In fact everything necessary for the maintenance of a house sued as would agrco with the Idea of advancement along the lines leading toward civilization. Nearly all of the Uintahs live In such houses is these , and quite a number of the Wblto r Rivers are rapidly following cult , although the great majority of these latter Indians Insist CM duelling as did their fathers from time Immemorial In wlckluixj or tepees. Above I mentioned a chute where they Catarrh 8. 0. , had a severe case of catarrh , which finally became BO deep-seated that she was entirely deaf in ona ear , and part of the bone in her nose lougbed off. The beat physicians treated her in vain , and eho used CURED BY to " ' ' ' * no avail. Fourteen bottles of S.S.S. promptly reached the seat of the dis ease , and cured her sound and well. B. B. B. nerer fall * to euro ft blood discate , and it U the only remedy which reaches deep-eatea Ouaranltrd purt * rlvo cattle for branding , That ( tiuto wag nco the occasion of qulto oa exciting time , A Tcxaa steer wan driven Into It ono day nil hie horns were so broad that they became ocked and made him prisoner , nelthur per mitting him to move forward nor backward , 'art of the chute had to bo removed before 10 could bo released , and by the time this 03 accomplished hln itecrtblp was In no cntlo frame of mind. Ho charged a group f Utos and ecatterod them In all directions. Finally , after much trouble and the bringing n of eoveril new ( actors In the uhapo of ow ponies and lariats , ho waa made prisoner nd executed. Ills horns were uiMaurod od found to be six feet from tip to tip In n air line. They were scot to a taxidermist n Chicago , who mounted tticm for eomo Ignltary of that city. It Is thought around hero that theeo horne carry the palm for the tatc. After the beef Is Issued the whole throng of paint bcdaubsd Utos , with their bloody acks of It , If , Indeed , H IB note o cold as to transform the meat Juices Into co , adjourns to the agency. Hero Henry larrls , a halt-breed Pluto from Nevada , vho has married a Ulntah woman and who ias the position of Isauo clerk , performs his duties and doles out tbo weekly allowances if food. It Is customary at the larger agoncka to ssuo on tickets , which are obtained at the agency ofllco by each head of a family , and vhlch set forth the trlbo , tribal number of ho recipient and number of Individuals in ho family , together with the -allowance per capita and allowance In total for the par- Icular family to which the ticket Is given , lore , however , there arc but 800 Indians and the Iretio clerk , knowing them all per sonally , finds It quicker , and Just as Im- inrtlal to Issue from his own knowledge instead of the tickets. Ono of the meet Interesting features of ESUO clay at this agency Is that of the va riety of moans of transportation which as sembles on that occasion. Everything , from : ho old-fashioned , comfortable plan of hav- ng a squaw "tote" the load tip to a late pat- : crn l > URgy Is pressed Into service. Sadcllo lorscs predominate and wagons form a goodly iart of the motley collection , while here and : hero appears d home-made sleigh , similar o the ono In the accompanying cut , "a mod ern war chariot. " Another point which produces much feeder or thought Is the great number of dons. Whcro they can prcslbly find food with which to eke out a acml-cxlstcnco ( for that ia all that they do ) I cannot Imagine. There are ohort dogs and tall clogs , hungry dogs and 'at ' , satiated doga. Greyhounds , curs , coolies , lialf-brocd-badgers , half-breed anything that Is wild swarm about. In a snarling , strug- llng , hungry crowd , waiting for whatever scraps they may pick up. One. greyhound last week found an aperture In the side of Lho slaughter house , through which ho could Just manage to squeeze. Ho was thin and anky for even a greyhound , else ho could not have accomplished his object. As It was he < ot In and dined luxuriously off of the frozen beef. Two days later , when the house was next opened , Mr. Greyhound was still there. Blthor the hole had shrunk or ho had In creased wonderfully aa to breadth , for It seemed Impossible for him to get out. At least wo know whore ono dog got enough , for once , to live. lA mcts of these cayudcls Is herewith served , called , "a few dogs. " Artlrlc-N nt Incorporation 1'Hcd. iERnra , S. D. , March 11.

( Special. ) Miss Grace E. Patton , the state superintendent ot cchoola , has bccomo apprised ot 'the ' fact that the school flag salute trouble has not abated In Ilouldor. The Advcntlsts ot that town took exceptions to rno use of the flag fuluto In the schools for the reason that It contained reference to a deity. On the ad- vlco of Stale Superintendent Patton , Super intendent Casey of the city schools of Boul der struck out the reference In the salute to which there -was objection , Now the Advcntlsts have again refused to send their children to the publlo cchools , saying they will not patronize schools where allegiance Is sworn to thd flag of a country where the Idea of observing the Sabbath on Sunday Is encouraged. The school directors of Boulder have given it a ? their ultimatum that the salute as It now stands must go. The Ad vcntlsts have 'taken ' an appeal to the county oupcrlntendent. In case ho sustains the rchool board the matter may be brought to Superintendent Patton for settlement. It la not unlikely , If such should be the case , that she will order the salute discontinued. She lj not averse to Its use , but dgcs not think it of enough Importance to bo continued If trouble Is caused. Miss Patton thinks the Adventlste of Boulder are somewhat unrea sonable In their latest demand * . "It they llvo In the United States , " said she , "they must Rweur allegiance to the United States flag. If they refuse to allow their children to participate In the flag salute they ara not Justly entitled to bo citizens ot the United States. There Is nothing more than patriotIsm - Ism Implied In the flag salute as it now stands. " DniunRi * l y the AVolvt * * . 'POUT ' COLLINS , Colo. , 'March ' 14.

Dick Dwycr The History dub. NO other works of reference have such permanent value as histories. Your encyclo pedia , if written twenty years ago , is worth as much as last year's almanac. But the His tory of Herodotus is as standard today as when freshly written 2400 years ngo. Undeniably there are worthless histories but they are so , not because they've lost their value , but because they never had any. "While there are many excellent special histories covering particular peoples and periods this is now the only great and universal history in the English language. The possessor of RtDi'ATii's HISTOHY OF THE WoiiiiD has the whole story of human existence and human achieve ments interestingly told and the story arranged for ready reference. Read it yourself and have it accessible to the young folks. The set comprises eight massive volumes and is selling country-wide today for double the price at which wo are selling them to members of the Megcath Stationery Co. History Club.
