Warrior Early on Ikws,
The first appearance of Chief Red Cloud
on the scenes of Indian warfare In the

was at that time a sub-chief of the Brule
sjoux tribe and was then about or 4S
years of age. His tribal terrltorv extended

of trouble In that section in his forays I
posts, running off government stock and
attacking emigrant and freighting trains
enroute through to Montana. He wna the
compatriot of such chiefs as Spotted Tail.
Standing Elk. American Horse, Man-Afra.d-of-HIs-Horses
and Big Ribs.
In the early part of 1SS Red Cloud suc
ceeded in deposing Big Ribs, his head

the Ogalalla Sioux. Red Cloud succeeded
to the chieftainship of the Ogalallas and

The question at Issue in this particular
treaty was the building of the Union Pa
cific railroad through the Sioux territory
along the Platte and westward between
the North and South Plattes to the maun-,

5.010 hostile Sioux, agreed to the proposi

The ticker in the Omaha Grain exchange
registered an advance of l'j cents on com
yesterday afternoon, but corn went higher
than that at the auction of prise winners
at the National Corn exposition.
The best ten ears in the world, raised
by J. R. Overstrwt of Franklin. Ind.. sold
for the record price of C35. to E. E. Fa

"We'll see what we can do In Iowa in
the way of raising some worid-beatlng
corn next year." remarked Mr. Favllle. "I
would havo paid up to SM for that corn if
they had forced me to do it."
At the rate at which Mr. Faville paid for
hl ,tn ,ar"- Cl,rn wou ' a
bushel, a price that would make hoecake
prohibitive.
There was some spirited bidding took
place, when E. C. Leedy. representing
James J. Hill of the Great Northern, ran
up the price of the world's best half peck
of wheat, raised at eBavr dam, Wis., by
II. E. Km r. the man who finally got it.
This half peck of his own wheat cost Mr.'

"I'll Jum put that into the ground to
see what car. be done with it for another
year," said iCrogei, picking up that Uttla
sack which cost him more than its weight
in the silwr money he paid.
The Hill bids on the best wheat wera
prompted by a design to have tha grain
milled and tested out in flour to prove
whether it ia really better than the Hill
wheat from North Dakota. Tha Hill bids
ran up the price of the wheat fur a time,
and the North Dakota growers, fired with
enthusiasm, gave Mr. Kxuger a run for his
grain.
The best bushel of com was sold to tha
j Toppka Capital for CM). This
corn was
raised by G. L, Keriin of Franklin, Ind.,
and it will now go down tnto the stata of
sunflowers and aandroses to improve the
crop and swell Secretary Coburn's re
ports. Yesterday was the big day fur the Jun
iors, the young foik of the farms who en
tered exhibits at the show. On the official

it was designated as educational
offered and retain the vital things. In the
long course of the growth of this system
we have been holding on to ail those things
which the earlier course involved, and at
the same time adding all that was new.'
"The time for a change has come."
Mr. Davidson traced Uie history of tha
present day ducational systems from the
beginning of the nlmeenUi century to tha
present day. taking a decade at a time.
"In the first decade of the nintsenth cen
tury," said the speaker, "the colleges of
fered about thirteen courses; today they
' are offering something like 113 highly spe
cialized courses. This same history haa
I been repeated in the secondary school nn
i til today we have grown from the original
j 'three Rs" to high school courses of from
I thirty-five to flft)-two courses. We have
forty in the Omaha High school. In mod
i em days we have added much until now
inations made, to render the work less cum
bersome. I believe that in this reorganiza
tion manuel training must be a part of the
work from the beginning of the first year
in school to the end of the secondary
schools. The last six years of the pupil s
study should constitute a complete educa
tional unit, which, for the purposes of this
I talk, I designate the vocational unit.' "
