also known as Wssh-ln-ga-sabc. nuted
chieftain of the Omaha tribe f Indians
when II was the ruling force over n nal
western area, to be erected on tho lawn
of the court house, la an Idea placed be
fore the public by John U Webs' er,
president of the State Historical sorlety
Blackbird was a noted warrior Bnd
leader and a friend of the whltrn who
never broke, faith, so Mr. Webster dc
Clares that Omaha coum find no finer
way In which to rommemorate Its earli
est authentic history. The city's war
veterans are agitating a movement to
place a monument In front of the court
house, and he believes artistic demands
would be satisfied by the niacin ot
two fine works of art there. The sub
Ject has been laid beforo Architect Jbhn
Jatcnscr.
Frederick C. Hlbbard. a sculptor of OhI
cago, has prepared a model of the pro
pored statue ot Blackbird. Mr. Webster
was highly pleased with this, and ar
rangement have been made to place It
today in the entrance to tho court hou
on the first floor for public Inspection
Mr. Hlbbard spent considerable time
studying Indian lineaments and physical
makeup. Tho model prepared by him
shows blackbird mounted on a powerful
horse, ''one arm outstretched, and with the
other holding a strap with which to con
trol his steed. Tho features arc- rugged
and commanding.
The Idea of the statue ot Blackbird
came to Mr. Hlbbard through reading a
peech made by Mr. Webster at n meet
ins of the Mississippi Valley Historical
association In Omaha, which thus de
scribed the chief:
"In the earliest authentic days of the
Omahas they had & chieftain known na
Blackbird. Ho was n daring and in
trepid warrior that feared no man and'
shunned no danger. Ho had the spirit
of leadership that would have done credit
to an Alexander when engaged in war
fare with his common enemy, the Sioux;
but he welcomed and always maintained
peaceful relation with, the invading white
race. He encouraged the exchange and
traffic In commodities between the red
men and the white men. as we now ev
chance commodities, but in a larger de
gree, with tho brown men across (he
I'aclflc."
Blackbird's followers, obedient to hl
command, according f tradition, burled
htm upon "Dtackhlrd hill, sitting upon nia
favorite war horse, with his face to tho
eastward overlooking the Missouri .valley.

Library Hoard Appreciative,

Miss Adelyn Wood opened the program
with an "Allemande" by D'Albert, fol
lowed by "Etne Llebesnovelle" In three
movements by Wolff. -MUs Wood has
ample technique and plays with clarity
and style, her delicately spun runs in
the Wolff number being especially ef
fective. This novelty to Omaha audiences
was a beautiful thing, each movement
being true to its name In, atmosphere and

brought out in the playing, rfor an en
core Miss Wood played a "Gavotte-" from
the suite in D minor by D'Albert.
Mrs. Welpton maintained her well de
served reputation for artistic singing in
her shard ot the program, her irjejr fleet!
contralto voice being used most advan
tageously, and her Interpretations being
as always, tru to tho spirit ot the song.
She sang two groups, opening the first
with "Quando a te Weta" from "Faust,"
by Gounod, following with a brilliant
"Mandollnata" that sounded decidedly
Mexican and which was sung with vivac
ity and abandon. A rather unusual "Lul
laby," by Itopartx preceded a "Dance
Song," by Thome, which completely fas
cinated the audience and won as an en
core "Wind Fairies." by Walte. In' her
second group Mrs, Welpton did espe
cially nice- work in "Summer Italn." by
Wllleby, the lovely restful "Oao Tao

"Spring Song." with which she closed
