The site of the monument Is at Whitman mUslon seven miles distant , whcro the remains of the vic tims now lie Intcnvd , having been recently removed from the terni > 8raiy graves In which they hnil lain so long. Dr. Marcus Whitman was born In Rush- vlllo , N. Y. , September 4 , 1802 He was 33 years of age when ho entered upon the work of a missionary In Oregon. The Mcthodlstc aent the Lees In 1834 , ntul the American board In 1835 pent Dr Mnrcui Whitman and lli'v Samuel Parker an missionaries to the Klalhead Indians It was whllo thus laboring In his calling that Dr Whitman' was glvm 'by ' General Amos \j \ Lovojoy thu first Intimation that the Aohburton treaty between thu United States and Great llrltaln would come to a crisis before < oimreKs adjourned , In Match , 1813 , and that It would Involve the whole boundary of the United States and English possessions. Whitman on October 3 , IS 13 bide faiewcll to his wife , and , with General Lovejoy , a Kuldc' and three pack mules , started on a Journey of1,000 miles across the continent When they arrived In St Louis they learned that the Atilibiirton treaty had been signed lAugust 9 , long before they had left Oregon , and had been conllrmed by the senate and signed by President Tyler , November 19 , while they vvcio lloundcrlng In the snows of-tliu Heckles Hut the } wcro reassured when they learned that the treaty hid only settled the boundary of Maine , and that the Oregon question was still opici. Dr. Whitman took the stage at St. Lou Infer for Washington and after a tedious Journey arrived at the capital. Ho was cordially re ceived by President Tjler ind Daniel Web ster , secittary of state , nnd undo a pio- found Impression upon them , though Web ster was committed to the treaty as it stood Dr. Whitman asked tint Oregon bo not bartered away or the English be allowea to Interfere ) until ho could lead a band o * ntalwart American settlers across the plains 1'rcHldenl Tjler promptlj gianted the re quest. Dr. Whitman gathered his party of emigrants and In IS 13 , escorted by Captain I'lemont and a troop of soldiers , started at the head of 1,000 souls , gathcicd fiom all the states , but principally from Missouri , Arkansas , Illinois and New York. On Monday , November 29 , 1S47 , Dr. Whit man , who had -assisted In iburylng one of the rod men , eat In his house reading. Sev eral Indians , a usual , were In the house. Ono sat down by the doctor to attract his attention by asking for medicine. Another Indian came behind him with his tomahawk concealed under hK blanket and with two blows on the back of the head brought him to the Poor senseless , probably , but not life less. Soon after TelanKnlkt , a candidate for admission Into the church and who was receiving unnumbered favors every day from the Whitmans , came In and took par ticular pains to cut ami beat his face and slash his throat , but the wounded doctor still lingered and did not expire until near night. AB soon as the firing commenced nt the different houses Mrs Hayes ran In and assisted 'Mrs ' Whitman In. . taking the doctor from the kitchen to the bitting room and placed him upon a settco. John Saga , sit ting behind the doctor when ho ivns toma hawked , drew a pistol , but his arm was poized , the room lining with Indians , nnd Ills head was cut to pieces. Mrs Whitman , bonding over her husband , received the first shot In. her light breast and fell to the floor. She arose , knelt by the body of her husband and commended her soul to God. She crawled to her chamber. The Indians did not dare to follow her , but called to her to coino down and she would not bo hurt. She and the children , who had been brought down , wcro huddled together to bo shot. The room speedily filled with Indians , who flrcd together the powder scorching the faces of the little ones Two of Jho humino j Indians threw their blankets over the little ; chlldicn , shutting out sight from them as thuy beat their victims with whips and cut their faces with knives Tlvo of the whites escaped Forty women and children were carried away captives and fourteen of the whites were slalni Their mines uro as follows Dr Marcus Whltnnn. iMrs. Whit man , > Mr Hogt-rs teicher of the mission school ; John and Prancls Saga , Mrs. Kimball - ball , La Tort , Ind ; Mrs Saunders Oska- loosn , la Mr Hall of JlUsourl oscapcd to Fort AValla Walla , but was refused pro tection nnd put over the Columbia river , where ho was killed by the Walla Wallas Mrs Marsh , Missouri ; Mr Hoffman , Klmlra , N Y : Mr Young Mr. Glllan.

( Special. ) Thcro Is a bit of history In connection with the location of Fort Meade that has been forgotten , no doubt , by the older residents of the Dlack Hills and will be entirely new to the younger Rcnernyon. A few months 'before ' the mascuSre of General Custcr and his soldiers there was an urgent rcqufet scmt to the government by the residents of the Dlack Hills asking for the permanent establishment of a fort at some convenlen' ' place , whcro a reasonable number of sol diers could bo etattoned for the defence ot the country. There was n continual Incom ing of gold seekers and notwithstanding the great danger from the Indians now camps wcro being opened up throughout the entire - tire hills and the cities ot DMdwood , Rapid City , Sheridan , Hill City and others were rapidly filling up. A temporary military camp was established on Spring Crec > K north of Hoar Hutte , In the spring of 1876 , which was named after Lieutenant Stuigls who was afterwardw killed In the Ouster nnsaacro. After that terrible txitllo the camp was ntlll retained and was occupied by the Seventh cavalry. The war olilclnls at Washington t w at once that there was a great necessity of a permanent fort In this newly settled coun try and , accordingly , early Ini the spring of 1870 , Major Mike Sheridan , a brother of Lieutenant General Phil Sheridan , was sent from Washington to find the most suitable place In the Lllnclc Hills for the location of a fort Rapid City was the first place vis ited and It was hla Impression that the fort should bo located at that place. Ho was driven over the country looking o\er the prospective locations by Judge Lorlng Gaffoy , at present Judge of the Sixth cir cuit , and John II. Hrorman of Rapid City The principal cities In the hills were vis ited , but the major was settled In his mind that Rapid City afforded the most favorable location and accordingly he rctuned MR report to the government to that effect. The business men of Deadweod Immedi ately sent In a protest to Washington urg ing the necessity of having the fort In a more central location nnd recommended the present site near Dear Butto. Lieutenant General Sheridan at this time was at Port land , Ore. , and when It was leaineel that he was about , to return to Washington by way of Bismarck tha bus'mess men of Deadwood - wood sent a messenger across the reserva tion to Bismarck , who telegraphed to tbo general asking him If ho were met at Bis marck by a delegation of Black Hills people ple would he go back with them , for the purpose of looking up a site for a fort. The answer came back that he would. The general - oral was met In due course of tlmo and was taken directly to Dcadwood , where he was banqueted and tcastcd to his heart's content. He visited Camp Sturgls and made a personal examination of the present loca tion of the fort and as a result ho sent In a countermand to his brother's recommenda tion and in August , 1S7C , Fort Mcade was established at Its present location. Children vrltli UIKMT JIlKtorlcn. The trlto saying that hair the world docs not know how the other half live Is verified almost dally at the Children's Homo In Sioux Tails by the strange history of the children received , says tne Argus Leader The society has a child now who was born and the first ten years of her life spent In an English coal mine , where g nciation after generation come and go without ever seeing daylight. Her patents were born an ! are burled there , never having1 made a Jour ney to the surface The dense Ignorance and cruelty to which the mlnew were subjected fifty years ago wcro not surpassed by that of the African slave trade Hut this IE , changed now and the comfort and education of the minors and their chlldicn are cart- fully looked after by tlio government. When 10 years old the parents of the child under discussion died and the uncle , who Is also a miner , brought her out of the mines and took her to South Africa , where they remained two years and them came to the Black nil's , Whlla on the ocean sbt was blindfolded mrat of the tlmo so as uot to Injure her eyes The umclo has just re turned to Africa and left the girl behind The society has taken her In1 charge and will send her in a few days to a nice re fined countiy home , where she will have the advantages for a good education Last week the tuperlntendcnt made- trip of over 700 miles , returning with a little boy who can only talk the language of the aborigines. His mother died when he was born and later the father was found dead In the yard ! nearly oaten by hogs The llttlo fellow wjs reared by the Indians and was treated very cruelly.

The clumber of exhibitors and articles on exhibition show a decided Increase In en thusiasm In this line of work. Heretofore , the tendency has been to follow ono school , but oven a casual glance at the Nebraska display shows there la a decided breaking away from old conventional lines and meth ods The decorated china this year shows great Individualism , and this la a Icag stride in the right direction This was espechlly no ticeable In Mrs Tord's exhibit Miss Butter- field has a complete and HUB exhibit.

In accordance with the petition the grad ing district was created ! and woik com menced about a month ngo Now trouble In regard to the depth of the cut to to mad-j between B and P streets has arisen and work has been stopped until gome agree . nient can be reached. When the profile was prepared It showed a out of six foot between n aadi P streets , and there was no objection to this. After the worlc had been under way for eome tlma a number of property owners decided that a three-foot tut i\vas all that was accessary andi to this opinion the city engineer co'nclded The discovery was raado that by grading six feet several resiliences and barns would be left higher In the air than was Intended , so the contention between the factions com menced. Some of the property owners' ' de clared that the street must bo graded ac cording to the profile and the specifications , while those who would bo incut Incon venienced protested ) against a further cut A special committee of real estate men who are wholly disinterested ! have ibccn asked to examine Into the matter and make a report. Unless the dllllcultyi Is settled within a few days the grading In this d'etrlct ' cannot be completcdi this winter. The grade on this street was established about ten years ago and It is now asserted tlwt the change proposed will not tiamago any of the property In the district , while on the other hand It will save a number of property owners the expense of iraklng changes In the foundationo of buildings abutting on T\venty-slxth btrcet. MKhlH t muilil For. Although electric street lights at Twenty- sixth and Q streets and Twenty-fifth and M streets have been burning almost nightly since last March the city has not yet paid a cent for the eeivlce. Naturally the olectilc light people want their money and In order to get ! at the facts In the case a committee composed of the members of the finance and public light committee and the city attor ney will investigate. At a session of the council last March , when Mayor Hnsoi was absent and President Mullaly occupied the chair , a icsolutlon orderIng - Ing thebo lights located was Introduced and received four votes. Acting Mayor Mullaly declared the resolution oirrlcd end ho signed an order to the electric light company for the lights. Without delay the lamps wcro put up end with ono or two exceptions have burned regularly since. When the mayor returned ho placed his veto on the resolution Ifor the reason that the procedure had not been legal. The veto , however , was not sus tained , and since that tlmo mnuy wrangles have occurred about the matter. Superin tendent Dlmmock of the electric light com pany holds that ho acted /In good faith when ho received an order to put the lights In , Ho did not consider It his duty to ascertain tbo number of votes a resolution has after ho has received an order from the proper authorities to locate lights. The bills for these lights have been stricken fiom the appropriation ilicet every1 month. It Is assorted that the city will IMVO to pay , as It has accepted the service and has oven docked the company for the tlmo when these lights were not burning. Councilman Tralnor ictuses to give up the light at Twenty-sixth and Q streets and Councilman Vansant dent want to let go oi' the ono at T\v \ only-fifth and M streets , so that moro than likely an understanding will bo reached at the meeting Tuesday ulght. Oi ill tin mc on Water Union. Sorno months ago the question of cheaper water came up In the council and an ) ordin ance providing for a reduction ot the rates now paid by private consumers was Intro duced and referred to the judiciary commit tee , ot which Councilman Barrett Is chair man. In view1 of the fact that Judge Mun- ger of the United States court Is Investi gating certain phases of the water question , the committee on judiciary declined to make a report until a decision of the couit had been handed down. 'It was learned the latter pirt ot the week that Judge Munger would decide the water works coso today and consequently a report from the Judiciary commltteo Is looked for Tuesday evening when the city council will meet. The council appears to be divided on the question of water rates. Some of the mem bers appear to favor a reduction while others , who are fimlllar with the concession granted by the waterworks company , assert that rcsldonts hero are not being charged anymore moro for water thin is paid In other cities of this size. It Is stated that the water works company donates all of the water used In the public school buildings , fire halls and city hall. Ucsldes this no charge has ever been made for water used In Hushing the strceta In the summer time. Iit\i.Ktl ii < limr Jail AiliiiliilNtriitlon.
