The fuslonlsts drummed up a fairly good
eiowd to hear George I'red Williams las'
nlghl , a considerable part of the audience
being republicans who were curious to hear
the eastern man.Vllllams made a lung
harangue on the Gage currency bill , which
he said would soon bo up before congress ,
but he had nothing to say about free coin
age of slIv'cY. Ho had much to"sa , about
the alleged misconduct of the war , and said
that In the future McKlnlcv would be
branded as a murderer. This sentiment
brought out mingled cheers and hlsies , and
n largo number of the audience left the
hall. The attack on the president was c
\lclous that the fusionlsts here fear the
speech will lose them votes.
The fusion crowd attempted lo hold i
meeting at Havclock Tuesday evening , ani
advertised Mat Gcilng of Plattsmouth at
the stellar attraction. The Idea was thai
all of the shop men who hul formerly llvci
at Plattsmouth would come out to the mect <
Ing , but for good and sufficient reason :
the meeting was a fUzle. The rallroat
nhops at Ilavelock have about . " 00 hands
all working extra time The men do no
null work until 8 o'clock or later , and the :
lave no Interest In an evening meeting this
promotes none but calamity Ideas. Tucs
e'ay night there were Just twenty -sevci
people In the hall , and the other 173 shoi
men went without the political feats tha
had been prepared for them. Ono of th <
men In speaking of the meeting today , said
"It's the wrong time for those people ti
corno to HavelocK when the men are work
Ing double time. There's too much pros
pcrlty for them. They could possibly ge
a good crowd If the men were out of work '
Ono of the prominent hotel men of Lin

and ran away from homo Ills mother , who
Is a widow of considerable means and po
Bitlon In the town , made every effort to
locate her son , but without success , and no
word came from him for several months
Then a note was received from him stat
ing that he was In Denver , Cole , without
money or friends The boy asked his mothei
to send him $21 and added dcspilrlngly that
If tlie money were not received his family
would never hear from again , An ordei
for tl.o amount was at once sent to his

His brother obtained the Information from

and he slarled at once for this city. He
found that Ihe citv was full of slrangers ,
bow ever , and that the police could give him
Illtlo assistance , owing to the utler lack
of a clew The older Curran had armost
abandonel his undertaking yesterday when
he happened to discover his brother as the
latlcr was entering the Sherman avenue
cate on his way to work. The homesick lad
weakened at the sight of a familiar face
and welcomed his brother with open arms.
Mo ealcl he would be only lee glad to re
turn to Otlumwa , but was waiting until he
could make a more prosperous appearance
The brothers visited the business district ,
where the younger was provided with new
clothing and footwear , buch as he hail
known In other davs Samoth was obliged ic
find a new assistant ana the young men
storied at 10 o'clock fast night to Join their

) Idden guests than was the one upon the
ndlan congress grounds yesterday , whcro
\ero congregated the 500 simple nnd modest
children of the mountain , the plain and the
'orest
The banquet was given by Captain Mercer
: o the Indians as an evidence of his appre
ciation of the services which Ihey have ren-
icred slnco coming here lo participate In
heir dances , sham battles and other Iribal
Vstlvltlcs , which have been enjoyed so much
by the people who have attended the expo
sition Wednesday he ordered a big , fat
itcer two sheep , two hogs , ten bushels of
lotatocH , five barrels of apples and 1,000
eaves of bread This provision was sent to
Jio Indians grounds Wednesday night and
Sheriff Startzer of Earpy countv was pressed
Into servi e as head chef He came and se
lected Rill Llddlnrd as his assistant and
he two men went to work They butch
ered the animals and made icady by pre
paring to roast the meat over a slow lire.
The fncplace was built just south of Iho
adobe house of Iho Pueblos and Ihe barbecue
was slarted. All night long the carcasses
of the nnn.als ! roasted , fried nnd slzyled
over the embers from cords of dry hickory-
wood and at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
the meat was pronounced cooked to a turn.
The potatoes were put Into huge pans tint
'iad ' been used for catching the drippings
from the cooking meat. After the potaloes
vere done lo n rich brown Ihe spre-ad was
ready for the guests.
Over nt ibe v.arehouse bread was Issued
to the squaws and at an appointed signal ,
" I'hout waiting for anyone to say grace ,
the Indians were called In , the gates to Iho
srcunds were closed and all Hie white people
ple driven from the cncltmne. the Indians
having previously lold Captain Mcrrer they
wanted to eat one meal without being an-
roycd bj spectators IllacU Eagle , a Sioux
\vbo at one time v.orkcd In a slaughter
house at Ihe Crow Creek agency' , was ap-
polnlcd * cad carver and allowed to select
his assistants. Tor this purpose he named
Little White Feather , an Omahan , and Long
Bear , an Apacjie. KnlfCj id band , Bl.ieji
Eagle walked up to the place where Ihe an
imals were splttel. assigned ono of his men
lo the sheep , the other to the hogs and he
taking the beef. Gcronlmo was the first
Indian served. He said he wanted a slice
of beef tongue and was given a large hunk ,
which he carried nvvay to his lepeo In a Un
pall. The tongue was garnished with po
tatoes. Nex' came American Heist ! , who
pointed to the beef brlskcl , saying It was
Iho favorite morsel with him He got a
chunk nnd plenty of polatoes , after which
Little No Heart , who remarked that he had
always 1-atl a fondness for the rump of a
fat steer. This Indian received a couple of
pounds of nitat out from the portion In II-
oated , and tl'eii came a band of Ihe Wich-
Itas. They all wanted mutton. Tokanwnna
lira ordered for tht' narty and took away a
greater portion of one of the hind quarlers.
The Rosebud SIou\ sole led pork and Run
ning Wolf , who had been designated as the
man to make the choice , took away with
him some fifteen pounds of loin.
Some of f'e otl-ei no'abUs were given
Ihe portions which they preferred , but after
that It was something of a catch-ns-catch-
can , Ihe chief carver and his assistants hold
ing that even Indians ought not to be par
ticular. They Informed the horde aboul
them that every portion of the meat was
prime and that the time foi picking oul
tpnder morsels had passed. The Judgmenl
of the three men was accepted , and froir
that tlmo until the bones were picked then
was less formality to Ihe carving.
In Ihclr lepcea Iho Indians enjoyed theli
feast very much , all having enough , thougl
there was none to spare , as the capacity
of nn Indian's stomach Is an unknowi
quantity , having the expanding and con
liacllng powers that are supposed to gi
wl'h a rubber bag.
After the banquet had been disposed of
Little No Heart , who Is recognized as th <

rrotn now on the people who vUlt the
exposition will not be afforded an oppor-
tinlt'vot seeing the Indian congress In Us
entirety , as a nurabei of Ibf Indians have
been sent home by Captain Mercer The
breaking of camp commenced yistcrday nnd
last night eeventy-Ilve of the Indians de
parted. Those who went were Ihe Poncas ,
Sacs nnd Poxes , Arapahoes , Tonkawns and
niackfeet With the cxcep Ion of the lllnck-
feet , all of those who departed are southern
Indians , most of whom aie from Oklahoma
and Indian Territory Thelllaekfcctl reside
In Montana
Some days ago when the bad weather set
In , the soulhcrn Indians expressed n strong
delro to return home , fearing that wlnt'or
was upon them , nnd since that time they
have been very restless Yr&terday morn
ing Captain Mercer concluded Is would be
lifeless to require these Indians to remain
longer and after breakfast they on > ied to
break camp They were evidently pleased
with the Information conveyed l'o them nnd
In n few minutes they had their tepios
down and were soon engaged in packing
The tepee cloths were rolled up and bound
with strings , rljp tepco poles were tied In
bunches and the blankels and bedding , aside
from that to be used on the tilp home ,
went Into sacks , boxes and bundles. By
noon the packing was about completp , both
men and women taking a hand Big moving
wagons larted the stuff to the depot and
during the afternoon thp Indians who were
without ! homes spent the-ir time vlslling Ihe
people of the other tribes and saying their
goodbyes
Krom now until the close of the exposi
tion the Indian congress will gradually lo'c ,
Us represenfitlvcs until all have gone.
Some of the Indian" , especially ome of
the Sioux , are so well plensed with the con
ditions and the jurroundlngs that they have
expressed a desire Do remain on the grounds
and witness the closing ceremonies. They
say the exposition has been a great ob
ject lesson to them and that they want ro
tee all of it , as they never expect to see
anrther show of fhe kind
GtTonlmo says he Is In no hurry to go
home Ho sas ho Is being treated well
and that In addition to this he Is making a
few dollars by selling his autographs and
pictures and so long as the supply holds
out' and the white people want to pay for
theset things thereIs no particular hurry
for going back Into the seclusion of the
Fort Sill reservation , where his family and
tl-e balance of his people arc located.
