RICHEST OF ALL TRIBES.
BIG FUND OF THE OSAGE INDIANS
IN THE TREASURY.
s Mawita Hunj to Their Credit That tha
GoTenraflDt Oarv Not Pay It at One
Time A Millionaire Indian la Kansas.
How tho KaorsnooA Kan Accumulated.
Speaking of a visit to the Indian Ter
ritory some years ago Senator Piatt said:
"When 1 was at the trading poet of the
Osage Indians I was uinch amused to see
an Indian baying a barrel of good flonr
for himself and a barrel .of cheap flonr
for the white man who worked for him:r'
The Osage Indians can afford to be lux
urious. They are the wealthiest Indians
in the United States.
It is estimated at the Indian office that
the Osage Indians men, women and
children are worth $15,000 each in what
onght to be as good as cash i. e., salable
land and the .government s promise to
pay. So great is the interest on the sum
held by the United States to their credit
that the secretary of the interior will net
pay out all of it at one time, and a
gradual increment is adding to the mill
ions already credited to the tribe on the
books of the government.
The Osages came to their wealth
through the sale of their lands in Kansas
when they were moved to a reservation
in what is now known as Oklahoma teV.
ritory One Indian abandoned his tribe
and clang to bis Kansas land, and it is
said that today, through the appreciation
in the value of that land, be is worth a
million dollars.
. Be ja perhaps the richest Indian in the
world. Nothing is known of him at the
Indian office because, having abandoned
his tribe, be has ceased to be a subject
of solicitude to the gentlemen in charge
of Indian affairs at the national capital.
The land belonging to the other Indians
was bought by the government and
thrown open to settlement. '
THE INDIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT.
In buying this property the govern
ment did not make any actual payment
for it. It announced to the Osages that
they had been credited with the amount
of the purchase money -and that - they
would receive interest on that amount.
There was no deposit made to secure
this indebtedness of the government.
There is nothing to represent it in the
treasury department except the record
of the fact that it has been assumed by
the government. This has been the prac
tice of the government its exclusive
practice for many years. .
A long time ago the treasury depart
ment used to purchase southern state
bonds with tbe purchase price of Indian
lands and hold them in trust for the
Indians. A great many of these southern
state bonds are now in the treasury
vaults, held in trust to secure indebted
ness to the Indian' tribes. But' on the
majority of them no interest has been
paid by the states for a long time; in
fact, the bonds in effect have been re
pudiated. , .
The government,' however,- under its
contract with the Indians, is held liable
for the interest which these bonds should
have drawn.. This interest it has as
sumed. So the purchase of the state
bonds was a losing investment for the
government. ' Its unhappy experience in
this direction has taught it the wisdom
of securing its debts to the Indian, like
its other obligations, with a promise to
pay .
In the deposits to the credit of the
Osage' Indians there is one item of $8,147,-
515. The annual interest on this is $407,'
876. There are about 1.500 Osages on
the reservation in Oklahoma. The ex
act number mentioned in the last annual
report or the Inaiau commissioner is
1,496: but this, of course, varies from
time to time. The members of this
tribe, men. women and children, are
joint sharers in tbe interest money. As
it is paid to the tribe it is divided equally
among them. It is drawn by the head
of each family for himself, his wife and
his children.
HOW THE MONET IS SPENT.
The Indian with a large family draws
a goodly sum each month. Even the
amount to which the single Indians are
entitled is large for an Indian. It has
been the policy for the secretary of the
interior, acting for the ' president; who
nnder the new law, is the trustee for the
Indians, to pay to the Osage tribe only a
part of the money to which it is entitled.
The amount paid annually was for
long time $250,000. Two years ago the
payment was increased, at .the - request
of the Indians, to $300,000 a year.
That is lees than 75 per cent, of the
amount due the Indians, and the other
25 per cent.- goes toward swelling the
amount with which the tribe is credited
on the treasury books. What will be
done with this slowly increasing capital
and the correspondingly increasing in
terest on it is a question with which the
government has not yet troubled itself."
Occasionally some of the interest
money which is due to the Osages is ex
pended for their benefit by the secretary
of , the- interior, within his discretion.
The Indian office has on hand now plans
for a $30,000 building to . be used as
dormitory and school in connection with
the education of the Osage children.
The council 'of the tribe requested the
secretary to make this expenditure. The
government looks after the education of
the Osages, and a special fund is set
aside for educational purposes, ' '
The government supplies them with
agricultural implements': and a great
many other things which the Indians
could very well afford to buy for them
elves. They do buy a great many luk-
uriea. Very few of ' them save any of
the money which is paid to them by the
. government. The trader at the agency
gets a greater part of it within an hour
after the payment has been distributed.
The Osage tradership is regarded as the
most ..valuable in the United States.
Other traders have more Indians to deal
with, but not so much money. Wash

There was a fine- old . gentleman iu
this city, who from the humblest begin
nings made his way steadily up to com- '
mercia! fame and immense ' wealth, all
by the manufacture of soap.", said a New
Yorker the other day. "and with all his
wealth and . prosperity he never forgot
how a poor man feels or lost any of his
consideration for the rights of others.
Pride never puffed him up nor made,
him ashamed of his business or his early
history. .
He was proud of the punty and ex
cellence Of his soap, and the secret of bis
success ' over his rivals lay in the fact
that he invented several processes for
cheapening the manufacture of that arti
cle, and his great factory in this city
was full of machinery- of his own inven
tion and manufacture. He made one
ample fortune solely out of patenting
the ideas of his fertile brain, and several
others by m;Ukigrw-.mannfactures he
was thus able ta-.turn put. .
"His wife was as intensely purse proud
as be Was simple.: though her origin was
as simple as his own, and her daughter
took after her. This child married well,
as they say: that is, a young swell about
town proposed to her on account ; of toe
great wealth he knew she would inherit. J
When the engagement was settled the
daughter and mother asked the old man
what ue was going to do in the way of
setting the young people up in life.
"Here they ran - up against m -nuex-
pected snag. - The old boy would giv
nothing' in the way of a dowry. "EEs
thought the bridegroom should support
his wife unaided all her father s will
gave her a share f lus !, JThe -utmost
he could be ptvemiietiNxpaa to do
was to givs his daughter wadding
present. What this would be he stead
fastly refused to say just then. On the
wedding day. however, his gift to the
bride was the deed for a handsome house
in a fashionable street, completely fur
nished in costly style from top to bottom.
"The bridal tour had all been arranged,
so no stop was made by the happy pair
to examine the new bouse. All through
the honeymoon they talked of the pleas
ure they would have in going over the
house, examining the pictures and plate
and entertaining their friends in it.
Great was the delight with which they
entered their new home on their return.
The carpets were velvet, the hangings of
silk and lace, the furniture hand carved.
the pictures old masters, the linen of the
finest, and silverplate was everywhere.
even in the kitchen.
The. bridesrroom was delighted, but
the bride's cheeks were crimson, and her
eyes flashed a fire that tears could not
quench. Everywhere she looked she was
familiar objects that filled her with rage.
Snatching a heavy silver salver from the
table, she showed to her husband, en
graved on it 'minutely but with elaborate
detail, the -representation of -r a bar of
soap with her father's well known trade
mark on it.
This queer crest was everywhere
about the house, worked into carved
furniture, woven in the linen .and hang
ings, and even painted on the carriage
and stamped on the harness which were
presented with the house. It was the
old man's greatest pride, that trademark
and what it stood for, but whether he
had it put on his daughter's things out
of sheer simplicity of heart or whether
he intended it as a rebuke to her foolish
pride I never found out." New York
Tribune.
. A. Lord Who Drovo a Water Cart,
When Lord Charles Beresford first en
tered upon a naval : career he was very
fond of a bit of fun occasionally. This
is shown by the following incident.
which is told by one of his brother offi
cers. W hue in the officers mess one
day, a discussion arose among the young
officers as to whether any one of them
would care to ride down tbe Bow at a
fashionable hour on a cart, and "Char
lie.' as be was familiarly called, under
took to accomplish tbe feat. A bet of a
five-pound note was immediately made
that he would not do so, and in this bet
the other officers in the room about
seven in number joined.
The matter then dropped. A few days
afterward Lord Marcus Beresford was
riding down the Bow, followed closely
by Lord Melville and his brother, when
they were suddenly hailed by a man sit
ting on a water cart with tbe salutation.
"Hi. just hand over those fivers." The
officers drew up in astonishment, which
immediately gave place to uncontrolled
laughter when it was seen that the driver
of the water cart was Lord Charles
Beresford, dressed np in laborer's clothes.
He had bribed the driver to allow him to
take his place, and the "fivers'" had to be
paid. London Tit-Bit.
