The first speaker , Major W. S. II. Bur
nctto of Host Molnefl , la. , said In part :
It Is now well nigh universally couce > de <
that the best place for a child Is the famll
home. A system of thorough supervision n
the chlld'r Intercut nftor being placed In
liome is absolutely necjMiry. Sorno regal
should be paid to the religious conviction
and habits of the home wher. ; tbo child I
to go. In my judgment three elements' g
to make a desirable home Intelligence , In
tlustry and Christianity. I prl/.e them In th
order named. That crime cxnnot bo trans
milled from anceslry to posterity Is a we !
established fact. But a tendency to criml
nallly Is possible. To meet these condition
transplanting Is the only adoiiuito rrinedj
When Hie soil hi nutritious and fruitful th
transplanting of the tender shrub Is no
cruel but wise and right. So I think thn
( he Ideal provision for the Idual child Is
member of an Ideal family.
The next address was by Horace Fletche
of Chicago on "Social Quarantine. " II
upoke of the kindergarten work In the larg
cities , commenting especially on that c
London and other cities of Kuropo that h
had visited. Ho explained the meaning c
the word quarantine as being complet
rooting out of social disease. This he sat
could clearly bo more easily done by begin
nlng with the child. Kindergartens an
kindergarten work he said were the mos
practical means of setting the feet of th
young child In the right path. If we ha
enough of thcso and all operated In th
best manner wo should have no need c
police court ? and jails. For no child that 1
born Into the world must of necessity b
bad. It la the environment that makes hli
so.

CO > IIC'H AVimml .Not
Officer Mussclman , who Saturday nigh
shot John Coyne , a 17-year-old boy , througl
the arm because ho refused to halt whei
the officer demanded that he should , wll
have to explain his conduct before the polic
board at Us next meeting. Young Coyne'
friends are framing a complaint against th
ofllccr. It Is probable also that a damag
suit will be Instituted against the depart
ment. The shooting of the boy brought ou
many expressions of disfavor from atuoni
the ofHcer's comrades. While none wouli
talk for publication , scvpral said that th
act should cost Musselman his star , as b :
his act he proved himself unworthy t
wear It.
From all that can be learned the she
was not a chance one , but the result of i
deliberate aim at the middle of the boy'
back. He shot to kill. Some say there Is i
possibility that Mussclman thought h
recognized In young Coyne one of the gani
of young toughs who a week ago attackei
and beat him up pretty badly and that th
shot was fired for revenge.
At the time of the shooting Coyne wa
running to avoid the clutches of a drunkei
man who had struck him several times am
was endeavoring to do so again. The olllce
allowed Coyne's assailant to get away. Th
shooting took place at Twenty-fourth am
Clark streets. Coyne's wound , which for
tunately proved to be a superficial flcsl
wound , will not Inconvenience him much
He Is at his home , Thirtieth and Ilur
streets.
John VanNess , who was brought to th
station after the shooting , was booked will
Coyne as a drunk. Ills only offense wa
that he witnessed the shooting and Is :
friend of Coyne. He was released on hi
own recognizance shortly after his arrest
Roth Coyne and VanNess will answer t

Ills-Horse-Looking will not lead the In
dian donees any more. People who have
seen this Indian bounce Into the arena , his
black hair hanging down his back and then
sot 'the pace for his associates will miss
him In the future. Black Kngle , another
Indian , will take his place.
The displacement of HIs-IIorse-Looklng
came about In this way. When the dances
wer ? started Ills-Horse-Looklng boomed his
candidacy and succeeded In convincing the
other Indians that ho was the best dancer
In the camp. For a month ho set the pace
r.lid did the spieling , but of late there had
been some dissatisfaction , moro than one
Indian venturing the opinion that the old
man is not quite on to the curves of the
latest dances.
Black Eagle Is an ambitious Indian and
when ho heard the complaints that had been
lodged against Hls-Horse-Looklng ho con
cluded to test his popularity and at once net
about to get the place for himself. Ho cir
culated among the lodges and buttonholed
the Indians , declaring that at a number ol
the dauccfl on the reservation ho had won
bouquets and that at a cake walk he had
not only carried off the cake , but In addition
had taken the entire bakery. This way ho
worked up n feeling against Ills-Horse-
Looking and It was pretty generally under
stood that the old man would have to rcslgu
or retire. This Information was conveyed to
him and ho at once declared that ho would
not resign , as ho Is hot of the resigning
kind. However , be Offered to make a con
cession and let the Indians decide whether
he should get out or stay. Such a plan
suited everybody anil ; It was decided to hold
nn election. Ulack Eagle seemed to be the
most promising candidate and after visiting
all of the lodges ho returned to the council
and said that bo would win In a canter.
This all occurred Saturday night and the
head men of the camp , . after comparing
notes , decided to hold the election yesterday
afternoon. Frank Curry-Kettle , Swift Dog
and Wlpcs-Hls-Byes were appointed judges
and Three-Fingers and Klcklug-Horse-
Charley clerks of the election. Instead ol
having a ballot box and a polling place the
Judges and clerks of election went from
tepee to tepee , allowing the Indians to de
posit their votes lu Swift-Dog's hat. After
tha voting the ballots were counted and II
was ascertained that Illack Eagle had won
and that he had any number of votes ta
spare.
Hls-Horso-Looklng took the defeat to
heart , but ho says that he will bide his time
and that eventually he will down Black
Eagle , whom he declares , ndver danced n
fancy step until ho came to the camp.
To celebrate the victory Black Eagle gave
n UtUo supper In his tepee last night. It was
attended by KIcklng-Horse-BIll , Looks-up-
In-the-Treo , Afrald-to-Stay-Out-Nlghts and
half n dozen of the staunch supporters of the
victorious Indian. While the menu card did
not contain a long list ot delicacies , 11
enumerated such substantiate as beef tongue ,
ox liver , army bread , prunes and rice. After
It bad been discussed and after the health
of Black Eagle had been drunk In Missouri
rlvor water and black coffee cigarettes wore
lighted aud for a tlmo tales of bravery were
itold , each Indian trying to outdo the other
In telling what they did when they were
boys.
IMHAX DANCKS THIS AKTI3UXOON
Two Spei-InltloM AVII1 ll 1'ut on nt the
Kiicniiiiiiuoiit.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Crow dance
will bo given by the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians on the open space In front of the
office building on the Indian grounds. This
dance Is participated In by only these two
tribes aud is said to have received Its In
spiration from the ghost dance. In dancing
It the Indians chant prayers to their great
father. They pray for better times and a
changed condition of affairs. The peculiar
ity of this dnnco Is that It Is always put on
before supper and the Indians participating
are stripped to the paint and feathers. The
music Is the drum. Between seventy and
100 Indians will take part.
At 8 o'clock tonight the celebrated ghost
dance will bo put on for the first tlmo. It
will bo danced by between seventy-five and
123 Choyennes , Arauahoes , Wlchltas , Klo-
was and Sioux. This dance differs from all
other Indian dances by reason of the faot
that there la no music. Of course , the In
dians sing , but they discard the drum that
Is used In all ot their other dances. The
feature of the ghost dance Is the hypnotism
that 'takes ' possession ot the Indians. After
dancing for a tlmo they go Into a-trance and
fall upon the ground , where they remain
motionless. Eventually they get back upon
this mundane sphere , ( \ttd then tell their
friends tales of having Jjeen to the happy
hunting grounds and , , bedding conversations
with friends and relatives who have gone
before. The experience. * pf the trip to the
other side are told In a.slmj song tone , which
obviates the necessity for music.
It has been supposed that the ghost dance
Is a hostile ceremony , jjmt men who have
made a study of Indians , say not. They con
tend that It Is a dance , that , originated In
Nevada and was finally , brought over the

The manner In which the exposition Im
presses the Intelligent vliltoi * Is very per
tinently Indicated In a letter which S.V. .
Llmlsey of this city received the other day
from 0. W. Harriett , a prominent Chicago
commission merchant , who spent several
dr.ys on the grounds some time ago. Mr.
liarncU says :
I believe that the citizens of Omaha may
Justly feel proud of their creation. To say
that 1 was surprised Is putting It exceed
ingly mildly ; that thu transtnlssourl states
should have such n showing exceeded my
expectations. There Is but one standard
which the Chtcagoan seta up for comparison
In thu matter of exhibition , which of course
Is the World's -fair , yet every thoughtful
mid reasonable man will know that It Is
out of the question to expect ono section of
our country to rival that wonderful crea
tion. Wti had not only the great city of
Chicago as a foundation , but we had the
Individual states as well as the general
government and the assistance of the civ
ilized world to make a record tluit possibly
will never be exceeded. In candor It cannot
bo expected that your exhibition will reach
that In size. Compared with other exhibi
tions of a like character , you may well
feel proud of your success.
The excellence of the display of the gen
eral government ; the surpassing beauty and
extent of the agricultural display ; the
marked beauty and utluc of the horticul
tural exhibition ; the excellence of the art
exhibit , will appear to every thoughtful ob-
cervcr. The classic beauty of the buildings ,
the urtlstlc grouping of the various structures -
. tures around ono common center , the chaste
1 design of the Arch of States and the Ad
ministrative Arch , tlu beauty of the La-
Keen when lighted up so magnificently as
It appears at night. Is n veritable triumph
that Impresses Itself on the eye and mind
of every beholder. *
Pardon these words of eulogy , but they
are absolutely correct. Personally , I feel a
prldo In the effort our own state has made ,
and the object lesson set In our beautiful
state building , \vhlch appears to mete bo
the gem of all the state buildings , the quiet
rcstfulness. the unobstruslvo elesanco and
homelike air pervading It , and the magnifi
cent paintings of our own exhibition seems
to me so worthy the great state of Illi
nois.

Nebraska did well and other states , too ,
were fine. On the whole , I was more than
pleased , and could have spent another day
to good advHiitHgn In studying the exhibi
tion as a whole and In detail. One of the
pleasant features Is the matter of moderate
charges of entertainment and I owe you
my special thanks for the comfortable
quarters you secured for me and the rea

courteous attention. I shall certainly advise

The interior of the Horticultural building
took on a neat and tasty appearance
yesterday -
terday , all of the exhibitors devoting their
tlmo and energies to
cleaning up and preparing -
paring for the rush that Is coming this week ,
In the Nebraska exhibit , the tables that
had been occupied by the grapes and
peaches , given away to the children last
Saturday , were filled with new fruit , Includ
ing apples , peaches , pears , plums and
grapes , and there was nothing to Indicate
the condition that prevailed the day before ,
The season has advanced to the point where
from now until the close of the exposition
Superintendent Youngers will show nothing
but the beat In the fruit line. Exhibits are
coming In In great quantities , which en
ables him to take his pick , accepting the
best and rejecting everything else.
Superintendent Lane , who looks after th (
Interests of the exhibit from Otero county
Colorado , Is In receipt of almost cnougl ,
fruit to completely replenish his exhibit
Ho Is showing some of the biggest Elbertr
peaches ever seen In the building , togethci
with samples of the Heath cling , which art
almost as white as milk and arc about as
largo as ordinary teacups. Besides these
he Is filling his tables with apples , peaches
and plums. The Garfleld county exhlbjt ,
. presided over by Superintendent Fravert ,
I has been replenished by the addition of the
| big peaches that grow Just over the back
bone of the Ilocky mountains. They art
very large , highly colored and of gooO
flavor. In addition be Is putting out
Alaskan crab apples , besides a dozen varie
ties of fall and winter apples. The twc
Colorado counties are running neck anO
neck and each superintendent Is doing hit
level best to outdo the other.
Superintendent Drlscoll ot the Idaho ex
hibit has added very largely to his showing
during the past few days and now has the
state's space completely filled with as fine
fruit as has ever been seen In this locality
Recently he has received a largo consign
ment of poaches , apples , grapes , plums am !
prunes. The prunes that are attracting the
most attention are the Americans , about as
large as eggs and as black as Ink. They nn
of fine flavor and In the west are general
favorites.
While not In the Horticultural building ,
the Dominion of Canada Is putting lu a very
fine fruit exhibit In the International hall ,
Most of the fruit comes from British Colum
bia and Ontario , furnishing pretty conclusive
proof that these two provinces can raise all
of the varieties grown In the states. The
exhibit now on the table contains numerous
varieties of apples , peaches , pears and
grapes , together with plums and prunes.

The plan of Superintendent Kelly to have
n great choral congress In connection with
the exposition during the current week has
been practically abandoned. The failure Is
said to be duo to the Inability to secure
railroad rates that are satisfactory to th (
choral organizations whoso participation It
essential to make the congress a success
When the matter was first suggested Super
intendent Kelly was assured that a rate ol
1 cent a mile would bo granted to bring tht
choirs to the exposition. This has not been
done and most of the prospective partici
pants refuse to pay any more.

SPRINOFIKLD , III. , Sept. 18. Governor
Tanner has decided the battleship Illinois
shall be christened In champagne. Today
he sent a letter to the committee of the
Woman's Christian Temperance union , which
protested against christening the battleship
with wine , In which ho says :
"In the matter , however , of following tha
time-honored custom of
christening battle
ships there la no desecration of the laws of
temperance. The ceremony Is not ono from
which any evil could possibly be not forth
aud the most sacred religious ordinance , the
'sacrament , ' which the world commemorates
with deepest solemnity and honor , Is ouo In
which wine Is used ns a symbol. Therefore ,
I dismiss the subject as one unworthy of so
much agitation. If left to mo the battle
ship Illinois will bo christened according to
the time-honored custom. "
