Scotts Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
It may bo questioned whether of all tho stor
ies in American history any is nioro interesting
than that of LaSalle and of those who have
chronicled American event- Parkman alone has
Riven tho great explorer duo measure of credit
Perhaps this is because his gigantic schemes
ended in a disaster so overwhelming us to make
his undertaking tho profoundest tragedy in tho
annals of this country
LaSalles notable exploits began about tho
year 1CS0 and covered a period of nearly 10
years Ho wont original to Canada which
was then a wilderness but his intrepid spirit
did not long content itself near the settlements
He gathered a band of advonturers as sturdy as
himself and made his way by laud and water
to central Illinois It is difficult alwaS to de
vine tho purposes of hib wanderings Ho seems
to hio been impelled by no other motive than
love of discovering Ho established forts or
trading posts where his lieutenants trafficked
with tho Indians but LaSalle himself was not
a trader and was wholly lacking in commercial
enterprise and apparently cared little for tho
profit to bo derived from iutercouise with the
nativos
With a handful of companions he floated
down the Illinois and into the Mississippi river
a stream that ho explored nearly to its mouth
Ho stopped from time to time in his downward
journey and landing took possession of tho
country in the name of France Returning by
tho way ho had come he sailed for France
where he laid before tho king a plan for the
founding of a settlement at tho outlet of the
Mississippi Ho realized as no one elso seems
to have done the importance of commanding
that stream Tho nation in a position to say
who should navigate tho great river would be
able to control tho colonization of the vast in
terior of tho continent In those days the rivers
were tho highway of commerce tho earliest
civilization being compelled to confine itself to
the oceans shores and navigable water was
With funds from tho national treasury of
France he was able to fit out 4 vessels that car
ried besides their cargoes of provisions and
such tools and implements as would be needed
to subdue the jungles tho colonists who it was
believed would form the nucleus of tho French
settlements in Louisiana The vojagers sailed
by the mouth of the Mississippi where it had
been proposed to found the colony none of tho
navigators knowing tho waters through which
the had steered and landed soveral hundred
miles from tho place originally selected on tho
coast of what is now Texas The colony did not
thrive owing to the characters of its members
the unfriendliness of the land in which they
found themselves the misfortune of losing their
supply ship internal dissensions and various
other reasons LaSalle mado several unsuc
cessful attempts to find tho Mississippi and at
length his colony being reduced to the verge of
desperation he with 16 others started on the
long overland journey to Quebec whence he
hoped to be able to send word to France of
their plight
The story of the horrors of that trip of how
LaSalle himself as well as a number of his
mediate followers were treacherously murdered
at the hands of the lawless members of tho
party of tho eventual assassination of two of
the guilty men of the arrival at Quebec more
than a year after they had started of tho rem
nants of that band of their voyage to France
and presentation of tho matter to the king and
of that monarchs abandonment of his subjects
and refusal to despatch aid to the colony are
more fascinating than fiction because as one
reads the tale he knows it to be true he knows
that the actors were real men not creatures of
human imagination Those who had been left
on tho coast of Texas were soon beyond need of
their sovereigns help They were massacred by
Indians an end which saved them perhaps
from the worse fate of falling into tho clutches
of tho Spaniards
Tho narrative with all its grewsomo details
is found in LaSalle and the Discovery of the
Great West one of tho most frightfully tragicas
well as one of tho most interesting bits of
American history
FROM SOUTH AFRICA
New Way of Using- Chamberlains
Cough Remedy
Mr Arthur Chapman writing from
Durban Natal South Africa says As
a proof that Chamberlains Cough Rem
edy is a cure suitable for old and young
I pen you the following A neighbor of
mine had a child just over two months
old It had a very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it I
suggested that if they would get a bottle
of Chamberlains Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the baby
was sucking it would no doubt cure the
child This they did and brought about
a quick relief and cured the baby
This remedy is for sale by all druggists

Old Times Again
Forming an Old Settlors Association has
awakened and revived interest in tho begin
nings of everything in tho county At this time
many new buildings are going up and tho re
pairing and beautifing homes recalls tho
early efforts of tho home makers Among them
during tho winter of 1872 73 John Longnccker
put up n hewn log house finishing it neatly
with a shingle roof cornice and panol doors Tho
bhingles doors and window sash wore brought
from Lowell our nearest trading place 111
miles Tho houso was whito washed within
and without and tho cornice doors window
and door frames and porch posts wore painted
a lead color This was tho first painting done
in the county and caused tho usual comments
Longnccker is putting on a littlo too much
stylo etc
As tho tmall details of settling a country
form its history they should bo correctly
recorded Inaccuracies occcur in tho ac
count of Red Willow county in tho largo his
tory of Nebraska Some of these aro noted in
tho margin of our copy and tho corrections aro
from personal knowledge
A short time ago ono of tho county papers
published an alleged account of tho Pawnee
Massacre which to old settlers needs confirma
tion Tho writer claims to havo been with tho
Pawnees at tho time If that bo true that
whito man kept himself strangely from view
His fears must hao caused him to too tho
dead and gone Indians to havo peopled tho
prairie with thousands of Sioux Without
going into an argument in regard to tho un
reasonableness of this statement will say that
many stories havo been told and different ver
sions given and addld to as limo passed The
report of the massacre as gathered from tho
Indians themselves and hunters and accepted
by the government agent sent out to investi
gate and to gather up the belongings of the
Pawnees was given in this paper some years
ago It may bo of interest to repeat it
During tho bummer and fall of lb72 Whist
lers band of about 70 friendly Sioux were al
lowed tho freedom of the country west or tho
settlements uudor tho surveillance of the sol
diers They were off the reservation in 1875
Whether or not the Pawnees hereditary enem
ies of tho Sioux know of this band I cannot
say but they went on their usual annual hunt
dried their meat and were on their way back
camping one night iu a can on nearwhero
Stratton is now located In tho morning just
as the sun was rising and they wero making
ready to begin their days journey the Sioux
swooped down upon them and from both high
banks of the can on dealt their deadly missils
of hatred Some few Pawnees already with
their poniesescapodleaving squaws pappooses
meat hides robes and teepees and their diug
and dead
In those da s men hunted and trapped further
west and some times came to the store of John
Byfield to trade Tho settlers ofton saw them
and talked One of these hunters known to Mr
Byfield and others told of his seeing Whistlers
baud pass his dugout about day break all tog
ged out in war paint and feathers silent and
stealthy In about a half hour they returned
jubilant with their ghastly trophies and he
said 1 knew there was trouble for the Paw
nees
This is the account as learned then and ex
cept for some embellishments by tho individual
telling what was believed by tho settlers living
hero As ears pass it is easy for people to
think things about some particular event as
for instance the celebrated hunting party of
Alexis during tho winter of 1871 72 Ono sol
dier sa s he was with that partj and they cross
ed the Republican river at the moutli of the
Medicine This man was1 honest in Ins belief
but he made tho mistake of confounding the
royal hunter with a party of prominent eastern
men One of our citizens contends that Camp
Alexis was at tho mouth of Red Willow creek
A soldier told him so Othoissayit was at the
mouth of Dry Creek where William Myers now
lives because of evidences of a luxurious
camp having been there The real camp was
40 miles up the creek
These are little things but all are of interest
to tho first settlors and as one of the very first
I urge accuracy of detail in telling of old times

Talk About Big Engines
I see that the Wabash road is mak
ing a great blow about its new engines
claiming they are the greatest machines
for pulling passenger trains known to
the world says a Burlington engineer
After reading a description of them I
cant see just where they aro much great
er than the Ktls on the Burlington A
description of the Wabash engines gives
them cylinders 21x26 weight on drivers
96000 heating surface 2675 square feet
Our K4s have 19x24 inch cylinders 121
400 pounds weight on the drivers with a
traction force of 22000 pounds a fire
box 108 inches long and a boiler 62 inches
in diameter Tho total weights of the
two engines is not far different
The Burlington Kisare ideal engines
for the passenger services in the west
They ride easily have great traction
force can pick up a train and start rap
idly and as f r speed I am guessing that
it will be several years before tho Wa
bash or any other road finds engines
that will distance them Lincoln Jour
