of the leaves of the forest.
Stiko the Iron has not a1way been a
Iriend to the whiteL lie Li uncertain about
the place of his birth. but be is of the opinIon -
Ion that the Important ecnt oecirre not
far from Albert Lea , Minu. Ills ancesto
Were f1ghter and consequently he Inherited
the spirit of bravery which was first taught
to him when he wae a suckling at his
motbere breast. Ills early days were spent
upon the Minnesota tirairles nod later on
ho became a great and famous hunter.
The manner In which Strikes the Iron received -
ceived his name Ic Interesting. It has been
eald by the writers of fiction that ben an
Indian Is born the iather steps to the out-
tide of the tent and names the young hopeful -
ful after the first object that he sees. ThIS ,
bOweer , IS not true. As a rule Indian cliii-
. Orcn are namcles until such time as they
perform some act flint 1il entitle them tea
a name. This at least was the case with
S Strikes the Iron.
; For some fifteen years he hunted and 5hoL
down game with hI arow. and was re-
ferre1 to as Kb Kb's son. Later on. how-
ever. bt' made a hit and earned a name. lie
was up in the Iron region in the vicinity of
the present city of Duluth , with a party of
hunters. One day the young lad saw a deer
passing. and fired an arrow at the animal.
The aim was true , and the beautiful creature
tell pierced to the heart. The arro- hal

: It went oflwatj In its course and struck a
. ledge of Iroit ore , and rebounding the flint

bead came back and struck the young man
i the eye , cutting the member from its
socket. Immediately thereafter the Indian
was given the name of Strikes the Iron , a
name which ho will carry to his grawo , as
that is the name which is registered on the
ration rolls at the agency.
PeuMtcd a , . it Warrior.
The losing of an eye was an epoch in the
life career of the young Indian and upon
his return home he was feasted and knighted
as a warrior. In 1862 he was mixed up in
the Indian troubles and if the stories told
1. about him are true he hung seweral white
Scalps to his belt. Regarding this , bow.
over , he is not taikatlye and when ap.
preached upon the subject shuts up like a
clam. After the killing of the whites at
New Ulm , Strikes the Iron moved with his
tribe to the plains of Dakota and eventually
drifted into the Cannon Bail river country ,
where he remained unknown until the set-
tiement of the Black Hills country in 187.
. lie had become something of a medicine
man , but he never aspired to be a leader
among his followers. During this year. be-
) ieving that the white man was encroach-
tog upon his domains. he headed a email
- . part ) of braves and pursued his course
trvm the Missouri river Into the region
along the stage line between Bismarek and
Reid City. For a time he and his followers -
ers devoted theif attention to running off
horses of the gold seekers who were flock-
lag Into that country around the hills.
Their method was simple , but effective.
The horses would be turned out for the
night to graze and just before sunset
Strikes the iron and his associates would
appear upon the scene. Like snakes they
would crawl through the grass until close
to the horses , when with an unearthly
whoop they would spring to their feet.
swinging their blankets over their heads.
This would stampede the animals and drive
them from camp. after which their capture
was an easy matter. The horses would be
ridden to the nearest camp. after which the
operation would be repeated and continued
unUl Strikes the Iron and his little band
bad nearly enough horses to supply the en-
th o Sioux nation. . Ills horses he drove Into
? the valley of the Moreau river , opposite
Lefleau , where they were herded by his
F eons and sold to both friendly Indians nod
whites. I3y Strikes the Iron this was not
regardel as horse stealing , n.e his people
and the-whites were at war and everything
captured was regarded as a trophy of the
chase.

Strikes the Iron declares that during the
Indian war of lST6 be never killed a. white
man or woman , but he admits that he was
a friend and bosom companion of Sitting
Bull , the most cruel and crafty of Indians.
e - - - . , Ho takes great pieausre in recounting the
deeds of heroism performed by himself and
EY5 that numerous times he and his people -
plo have fought the Cheyenne Sioux and
that he has had many hand-to.hand con-
filets , One of the most interesting ones he
told through an interpreter.
'Somo sixty years ago when I was a
young nina and full of vigor. I was out in
the ilonesota woods hunting elk , of which
there were many at that time. I'assing
through dense underbrush I came to a narrow -
row but deep stream , over which a tree
had fallen. It was necessary to walk over
this log or else go miles around and I was
not in a mood to go around. I starlet ! to
cross and when about half way over I met
a Chippewa. who disputed my right to the
passage. For a few moments we carried on
0 conversation in the sign language and
neither seemed inclined to turn back.
There was no use of arguing and both
stripped for the fray for the purpose of
ascertaining who was the beet man. We
went at It. with knives and fought like de.
mona. This continued for nearly an hour.
during which time I received several se-
rero cuts and wounds , I at the same time

that it was a fight to the death and putting -

Lately the exposition directors have made
a great deal of fuss about issuing passes
to all the editors Ia the Tranmisslasippi
region , irrespective of the attitude they have
preserved toward the exposition. One of
the beneficiaries of this most liberal policy
is fr. i : . Green Lemley , who conducts the
Clarion , published at flichiand , Ia. For
fear the existence ot flichiand may be unknown -
known to many , it is explained that the
hamlet lies in the southeastern part of
Keokuk county , where it struggles with
Marttnsburg for commercial supremacy. It
baa probably l&O or 200 inhabItants. When
the exposition was opened a pass good for
the month of June was sent to ? 1r. E.
Green Lemley. There is no record of his
having used it. On July 26 be was here nnd
was given a pass for thirty days. Mr. Lem-
ley didn't spend a great portion at the
thirty days here , for his paper of the issue
of July 29 contains the following notice of
the exposition under the head of "Omaha
and her Show : "
The great ( Trausmississippi and International -
ternational Exposition is a nonentity.

call it a delusion and a snare but for the
fact that nobody Is being deluded or snared.
Nobody attending , you see. The grounds
are very nice and the buildings pra'ty ,
though woefully small when compared with
those of the recant \'orid's Columbian exposition -
position at Chicago.
lie goes on with a tirade against the different -
ferent departments of the exposition and
concludes with this abuse of Omaha :
There are many other things we might
mention , but wilt not. It you had planned
to go to Omaha. give it up and go to same
good district fair. It will be more exciting.
I3eforo closing here we wish to pay our
respects to Omaha. the city that has been
called the rival of Chicago. Better call her
the rival of Council Bluffs. which , If not so
large , Is neat , clean ani full of busin 233.
Omaha is the deadest , dirtiest. and most
dilapidated town we ever saw. For bul-
nese Vest High arenue in Oskaioosa ill
double discount any street in the city. Many
of the plank walks have whole planks m13-
sing and between the walks and the street
car lines you will see weeds as high as
your bead. And we remember one place on
Thirteenth street. , which is one of the into
thoroughfares to the ihow grounds. where
for several rods grass is growing two ant
three inches high b.etween the pawing stones.
Grass , weeds and wild stnflowers stand as
high as your head In many of the front
yards of residences fronting on Thirteenth
and Seventeenth streets , both of which lead
to the fair grounds. The streets are flithy.
We didn't see a man at work on them. not
even a sweeper. The hotels. restaurants ,
saloons and barber shops ha. ! made preparations -
tions for a great rush , but it didn't come.
and now when they get a customer they
bleed him to a fthtsh. Omaha Is already as
dead as a mackerel and by the time the fair
Is over there won't be enough of the tu'a
left to pay for burying.

Then EnJos ttt' ) Itesult.
It Is apparent that Captain Mercers In-
diane and the white man's watermelon can't
lie in the same bed , especinily if the watermelon -
melon is on the inside of the Indian. This
was successfully demonstrated yesterday
when Rain-in-the-Face attempted the
feat of putting himself outside of a big
melon that was given to him by some designing -
signing caterer on the Mldway
When Rain-in-the-Face lugged his big
melon up to the camp he was the nappiest
Indian on the grounds. Reaching there ,
ho wrapped his blanket around him. split
the rotund fruit with his hunting knife and
proceeded to carve out and eat great chuns
of the juicy fruit while his red brothers
gathered about the flap of the tepee and
begged for a bite. Not being a frea-bearte'l '
Indian , Rain-in-the-face laughed and con-
tinned to masticate his gift. He did not
stop until everything except the green rind
bad disappeared. 'This he passed over to
the Indians on the outside of the tent and
told them to oat and be happy. They told
him that they 'were not the kind of In.
dians who would eat what a Standing flock
Sioux would throw away and left in disgust.
Rain-in-the-Face smiled and rubbed that
portion of his anatomy that contained the
melon , but he did not laugh long , for the
watermelon soon commenced to put in its
killing work , and In less than bail an hour
Rain-in-the-Face had developed the best
case of cholera morbus that has appeared
upon the exposition grounds. An effort 'as
made to induce him to go to the hospital ,
but be protested , declaring between shoots
of pain that after having tried the fruit of
the white man , be did not care to take
any of the medicine. Itain.in-the-Face
continued to howl In agony and as a last
resort a bottle of pain killer was sent after
the melon. It. had the desired effect and
before nightfall flain-in-the-Face was
jerked from the grasp of the grim reaper
and was made to feel as good as new.
The people who went to the exposition
yesterday expecting to see the religious
dances participated in by the Indians were
somewhat disappointed , as the heavy
shower of the afternoon turned the grounds
into a Sea of saud and made dancing almost
an impossibIlity.
PIIiitity'u Baud Closes Tuesday.
Unless some complication should arise in
regard to the arrival of the Mexican band ,
the farewell coficert of l'hinney'e band will
be given Tuesday night. The program In-
eludes a number of the selections that have
proved most popular and the last appearance -
ance of this popular organization is expected -
pected to draw more than the ordintry
crowd.
Coiii'erts n I ( ' ) y-rlsnieut hhisi iiiiug.
The afternoon band concerts have been
switched back to the main court in front
of the Government building. This action
was taken by Superintendent Kelly , because -
cause the regular life anving exhibitions
will be given each afternoon and It was
thought advisable not to split the crowd.
Notes of thi' lixiioildiuu.
An amateur performance will be given in
addition to the regular performance at the
German village next Friday night.
Heretofore the electric lights on the
Grand Court have been turned on at 8O
o'clock at aIght. but owing to the fact
that the days have. grown murch sLurter the
grounds are lighted halt an hour earlier.
The change was made last night and from
now untIl September 1 the grounds will
be lighted at 8 o'clock each night.
The long looked for life boat arrived from
Grand Haven yesterday and will be
launched in the Lagoon today , It is proposed -
posed to give the first exhibition of life
saving work tomorrow , The members of
the crew , who have been at tho'station for
sortie weeks , are delighted over the arrival
of their boat and feel that from now on
they will have something to do.

IIfJRD M3OUT TOWNS
.
\ . 0. Temple of Deadwood , S. D. , who
has mining interests in the Black hills , and
is in Omaha to look over the exposition , says
the Black Hills country is prosperous , and
that there is every reason to believe It Is
entering upon an era of unequaled pros-
parity. The output of gold for last year In
the Black Ifilla amounted to $ , &OOOOO , and
the sale of cattle brought LI.000,000 more
Into the hills district. Ia ten years the
production of gold has Increased from $2-
004.000 to $ GOOM ) , and the production for
this year will oven be In excess of the last
figure.
Mr. Temple says that the chief drawback
to the development of the Black Hills is
the lack of railroad facllitiew. Two roads
run into Deadwood , but they are both spurs ,
and no one travels on them with the exception -
ception of persons who are going to the
metropolis of the district , making the number -
ber of strangers who visit there limited , and
giving the country a poor outlet for Its
products. If the Black flill could secure a
trunk line , Mr Temple is of the opinion it
would rapidly prove Marvin Ilughitt's state-
enent that it Is the richest 100 miles square
in the world.
Emmett May of Honolulu , who is visiting
the exposition on his way back to the
islands from a business trip in the east ,
thinks that the development of the islands
will be rapid under the rule of the United
States. At present the harbor of honolulu
is the only really first class harbor in the
islands , but the one at tub , in the island
of Hawaii , 210 miles from Honolulu , Is naturally -
urally better than the far famed Pearl bar-
bar , and with the expenditure of about
$100,000 for a breakwater , will be one of the
best harbors in the world. giving the large
island of hawaiI one which may be entered
by alt ocean-going craft and greatly increasing -
ing the wealth of the island. hawaii is the
largest of the islands and has as much tillable -
able land as all the other islands together ,
making Its development a matter of great
importance. In the trade with the Philippines -
pines the harbor of Honolulu is more con-
veolent for ships safllng from San Francisco
than 11110 harbor , but in the Australian
trade Ihilo will be tar the more convenient.
The commission which the government has
sent to the islands realizes fully the importance -
tance of developing fib harbor , and It. is
quite likely that work will be begun In a
short time.

"Standing Room Only" was the greeting
late corners met at the box office at the
Crelghtoa last evening. "Faust" has always -
ways been a good drawing card in Omaha
and this , together with the favorable lm-
pression the Woodward Stock company as
reorganized made last week was sumcient
to produce the result. It is in some respects
the most notable producton ! of the long list
since the stock company came here. In
nothing has Miss Kennark been seen to better -
ter advantage than as Marguerite , the last
scene being particularly effective. Robed in
whIte , as she paced the prIson c'll , the
wandering mind picturing by turns the
happy scenes of her innocent girlhood and
again overcome by remorse , she played upon
the feelings as only the artist can. It was
unquestonahly ! the best presentatIon of the
part ever seen In the cIty. As Mephisto
Mr. Montague was necessarily measured by
the standard of Lewis Morrison , who has
made the part familiar , and taken all in all
the comparison is not to the discredit of
Mr. Montague. While he may lack a trifle
of the subtle , Insinuating character with
which the author of "Faust" endowed
Mephisto it is not. enough to be marked. On
the other hand , In the stronger lines he
exceeded the work of his former associate
In the play , Walter Green in the title role
acquitted himself with credit , as a lover
being all that the most exacting maiden
could desire. Valentine , though a part
whIch only once is particularly essential to
the effectiveness of thc play , In poor hands
would mar the symmetry of the whole , Mr.
Enos as usual was equal to the occasion. Of
the remainder of the company the comparatively -
tively little which tell to their lot was well
done. The scenic effects , on which Faust

Sheriff 3IcDoealda decision It , take a bend
in the war against the confidence men and
flimfiammers now infesting this city appears -
pears to meet with the appront of a large
portion of the residenta , The need of a
responsible officer here was demonstrated
Saturday night when Constable Joseph Maly
allowed Oscar Ryan , a notorious ttnhorn
gambler , to escape. Ityan was arrested late
in the afternoon by Constables Maly and
Daniels and was ordered taken to the county
jail by Justice White. In the excitement
which prevailed in and about the court
room at the time , the constables sta'rted for
Omaha with their prisoner without corn-
mitment papers , Jailer Sham ! refused to
accept the prisoner and ho was turned
loose , Ryan immediately made his way
back to Justice White's court and denianted
some papers which had been taken from
him at the time of his arrest , This visit
was unfortunate for Ryan , for Deputy ber-
lit Miles Mitchell happetled to be in the
justice shop at the time and as soon as
ha learned what had occurred he placed
ltyan under arrest a second time , As
MItchell was at that time engaged in making -
ing out a lot of warrants for confidence
men ho did not want to take the time to
go to Omaha with the prisoner and so he
deputized Constable Maly to act in his
stead and deliver Ryan to the county jailer.
It was late when Maly returned Saturday
night and the alleged escape was not known
until yesterda ) . Maly reprecntetl to Judge
White that ltyan ran away at. SIxteenth and
howard streets and succeeded in biding
himself in an alley near the foot of St.
Mary's avenue. As an evidence of good
faith , etc. , Maly brought along with him
a hat which be said Ryan uore at the time
of his escape.
Another warrant has been issuet ! for Ryan
and is now in possession of the sherIff and
his deputies and Ryan will be arrested on
sight. Maly's conduct in this matter is to
be made the occasion of impeachment pro.
ceedings and It is expected that the charges
in the case wilt be filed with the county
commissioners as coon as all the evidence
deemed necessary can be secured.
Commencing today Deputy Sheriff Mitchell
will devote his entire time and attention
to the arrest and prosecution of the con-
Ildence men here and Sheriff McDonald has
promised him additional help in case it Is
ueedcd.
The operators of the local gambling
houses are anxious to see some action
taken toward drIving the confidence men
out of the city. One of the ramblers said
to a Bee representative yesterday that it
was the Intention to reopen the regular
gambling houses here today , but on account
of the attitude of the mayor it is not positive -
tive that this will be done. One of the
regular gambling houses reopened last week ,
but the others have been holding back on
account of the confidence men still being
allowed to operate here.

day on the remains of Frank Hannenhofer ,
who was killed Saturday by Harry Hulsman.
In The Bee of yesterday the name of the
murdered man was given as Frank Widoe ,
that being the name reported by the under-
takers. It appears that when the remains
were removed from the livery stable where
the tragedy occurred the undertakers were
informed that Wldoe had been killed and
this the name sent to the coroner.
This mixup of names was doubtless occasioned -
sioned by the condittoa of those who witnessed -
nessed the affair. Hannenbofer lived in Albright -
bright and was a married mnn.
