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

already they are deluged with applications
from people who are In huarty accord with
the Ideas proposed
'Tho first contingent of colonists has been
picked out and all the necessary papers
signed The colonlsta will bo desirable cltt-
Koiis In any community The army stands
ready to pay all the railroad expenses of
any worthy applicant who 1 .is not the ncccs-
eary means That expense , of course , goes
toward thu purchase price of the applicant's
land , and ho will bo charged the Kama rate
of Intercut that the ainiy must pay for the
money ,
"A general store will bo maintained and
all the colonists can get everything neces

HA PIO CITY , S. D , Nov. 28. ( 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.

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. He might bear the
sobriquet of Sear-Faced Jlmmlo , as his fact
and headi bear evldcnco of many a bump
He came from the northwestern part of

Aa effort' ' Is being made to amicably ad
just the differences now existing between
the property owners In the grading district
recently established on Twenty-sixth street
from A to F streets After the petition ask
ing for the creation of a grad'ag ' district
had been signed by a majority of the prop
erty owners last summer a number of sig
natures were withdrawn , because eome of
the residents In that locality did not want
the street graded ! the full width , as It would
destroy the. trees growing between the side
walk andi the curb lino. As It was Impos
sible to agieo on this matter , the project
was given up for the time being. Later DJ
another potltton was- circulated , providing
fir grading the full width of the street ,
It having been signed by a number who had
withdrawn tholr signatures from the flret
petition.
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.

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.

Councilman Vansant , chairman of the com
mittee on police , said last evening that the
commltteo would meet at police headquarters
this evening for the purpose of Investigating
the recent jail delivery Mr. Vansant said
that It was the Intention of the committee to
make a thorough Investigation and find out
If possible the reason why prisoners of Inn
portance always miimged to escape. Tn this
connection ho cited the escape of Harnum ot
White Kovv fame , who departed from the
jail without permission , after having boon
bound over to the district court for stabbing
a man. A number of escapes have occuncd
within the last yoir and possibly the com-
mlttc may go Into the details of all ot these.
The other two members of the police com
mltteo are Schnlt/ and Tralnor.

cssary cruelty Is practiced on anlmala at
the stock yards , and the Idea Is to have an
ofilcer who will look after the loading and
unloading of stock , ns well as to attend to
neglected chlldrom. There appears to be
no opposition to the formation of such a
society , but It Is claimed that there Is no
need of a humane olllcer at the stock yards.
Such an olllcer might possibly prevent the
overloading of stock cars , but that Is about
all ho would bo called upon to look after
around the yards.
