MRS. CODY S PIONEER DA3TS. a Xo record of our pioneer women would be complete without the name of Mrs. W. F. Cody, whose historv is so closelv connected with ii - - - the history of our city. Mrs." Cody came to the west with her hnsband and little daughter from St Louis in November, 1S70, and for three years lived at Fort McPherson, experiencing all the excitements and dangers of frontier jrarrison life Her home was the typical log cabin of the prairies, builfonthe reservation, although not within the fort inclosure, and many were the hardships which the young wife was destined to ex perience The fort at that time had seen theworst days of Indian warfare, but even then the life there was not wholly devoid of excitement There were the scouts constantly coming and going; unexpected visits from dians prowlinjr about; so that the re ef the garrison, troops eqnippedl usual" peecautions were doubled MRS.

It was during the "June rise" of the Platte thatns'r sister and herself with their babies attempted to ford the river and were only saved from drowning by the intervention of eight mounted men acting as guides for the coach across the river. It was customary in those days to carry a skiff at tached to the coach. The river was" also crossed in places by means of pontoon bridges. The buffaloes were so thick oftentimes as to stop the stage coach. Cottonwood Springs then con tained two houses stores owned by Frenchmen who were 'traders, both unmarried. Mrs. McDonald was then said to be the best look ing woman in the town, and was called by the Indians Milla-huska or white squaw. Thifi was the period of the Pike's Peak gold fever, and thousands of teams passed every week of the summer, from May to September, hauling freight to Denver and other points. Occasionally Mormon trains would pass, distinguished by the women hauling the goods in hand carts, while the men leisurely walked alongside. The Indians Sioux, Ogalallas," Pnmiees and Brules were verv numerous then. They could al ways tell by the howling of the wolves at night when the Indians were coming. They came up often by thehundreds,braves and squaws to trade. In order to get their trade rival store-keepers were obliged to advertise their wares then, as now, in the form of Tvhat they called a "feast' It consisted chiefly of ah-wha-a-pah and paw-shu-taw-sap-pah(bread andcofiee), followed, always, by a dance. Then the men went into the store crowd ing it sometimes fifty at a time while the women sat without form ing a circle. The trader was ex pected to go but with a sack each of flour, meal, etc, and give to each squaw as many cupsf ull of the arti cle as she chose to demand, (from two to ten), which she then pro ceeded to tie up in her dirty blank et until each was hung round "with funny little loppy bags- Of course the trader who provided the best feast got the. trade for that tiine the men then smoking- the che-no-pah.

McDon ald, the infant aforesaid, and wholly removed the mother's fear that he might be stolen Mrs. McDonald's memories of the year '64, when the Indians were really on the war path, included the well-known dreadful massacre of a. whole train of ten wagons or more at Plum Creek. The only survivors were a boy named Mar ble and a lady whose name she had forgotten. These were taken cap tive and twenty-tour hours later fell in with a band of Indians who had as captives four women, sur vivors of the wholesale massacre on the Little Bine After a year of wandering with the Indians, down into Mexico and into the far west, after frequent fruitless efforts at escape, they were ransomed by the government It was while on her way home that the lady stopped at the home of Mrs. McDonald, detailing- her awful sufferings and her wise determination to be friendly with the Indians so as to insure .good treatment. She de scribed their method of having wo men "run the gauntlet" by plac ing them upon mules or ponies never before ridden by a woman, then trying to make the animals tnrow them. This ordeal she had undergone successfully four times. It was the haSit of the Indians, upon releasing prisoners to give them slow poison to insure their ultimate death; so. that the boy died almost at once in Denver, the lady livinsr a year or more after reaching Iowa. her home at Glenwood, Fashions for Men. Black' trousers will be worn shiny this spring. Overcoats are much worn, especi ally afr the elbows. Fringe is, frequently seen at the bottdin of the trousers this season. Sack jcoats will be worn much longeriiecause the wearers are shorter than usual. Checks for business men are in great demad, especially bank checks. To prevent trousers "bagging" at the knees, wear them reversed every other day. The best-way to press your suit is to get on your knees. In calling, a gentleman leave one of his own cards for each lady in the family, one of his fathers and grandfathers for each married lady, one of his mothers and grandmoth ers for each gentleman and if there is a maiden aunt in the family a card of his brother should be left.

It-is not cold but it feels cold. The variation in tem perature between sunshine and dark is startling for so mild a cli mate. The only unpleasant feature of the climate to us- was, the fog, which so often persisted in coming in in the evening and staying in nntil ten and eleven o'clockthe next day, for days at a ttme.. To one so unacusLomed to moisture, it was rather chilling on the affection for California. Living expenses are perhaps one fourth' higher there than here. Fresh vegetables and fruit can be "had the year around. A little fire is needed nearly every day during winter months as that is the rainy season. A few minutes' ride will take you to the grand old Pacific, where you may take a ride on her waters if you like, gather shells if there hasv been a storm, go in bathing or sit and listen to the ever splashing' water against the rocks. We made a short visit to,Pasa- dena, a suburb of Los Angeles.

You are next taken to China town, providing yu wish to go. We pre ferred viewing it from afar as we had visited a similar place in San Francisco nine years before. West Lake park is next visited and we see there the banana plant with its huge bunches of bananas on. If you will look.closely perhaps you will find, a tarantula hidden among the fruitv as there are plenty of them in California. The papyrus plant, or Egyptian reed from which pajer was manu factured up to the Twelfth century will be seen on the borders of the lake. The stem or stalk from ten to fifteen teet highis crowned with a tuft of long wiry grass that falls gracefully around it To-day it is only known as a -beautiful decora tive plant We are now driven along some of the broad avenues and streets, among them Figureoa, Adams and Twenth-seventh. These are lined with the palm, the pepper tree with its graceful boughs and bright ber ries, the tall eucalyptus tree that sheds its bark yearly instead of its leaves, the acacia, camphor, agave and the handsomest tree of all the magnolia.

Many of the passengers were thrown through windows, cutting them badly and bruising them up in gen eral. The writer escaped with only one slight bruise and a goodly amount of astonishment at being treated so. Medical aid soon ar rived' and .all were made as comfort- able as circumstances wonld allow. After a delay, of nine hoars we were taken to Albuquerque, Jew Mexi co, and there taken' on another train. Shortly after crossing the Colo rado line our train was. help-up by a number of men (we only saw- three) with their faces covered They kept us perhaps ten minutes, :n let us go. Aside from a good fright we were none the worse for our stop, as they did not offer to molest the passengers. Our next trip to California will not be over the Santa Fe. The 15th of March found us home safe with friends. We want to visit California again, but make Nebraska our home. Mrs Alma E. Ewing, Wood River, Neb. UTAH LETTER. ..-t-Tiir. ; - Lewis Swift Mrs. Thompson, a daughter of John Brown of Civil 'war fame, has her home here. . The last two months of our stay in California was in Redlands, sixty miles from -Los Angeles, in San Bernardino valley, almost surround ed by mountains and has a delight ful winter climate. The-scenery is grand beyond dis cription. The mountains are cov ered with snow the greater part of the year, while the flowers bloom, the trees yield their fruit and all nature is gay in the valley. Mt. San Jacintor standing alone to the southeast of Redlands ever reminds us of Helen Hunt Jackson of Ramona and her love her joys and her sorrows. Across the San Jacinto river we see the Indian vil lage Saboba, where for a little time this devoted pair, Ra mona and her Indian husband Alessandro, dwelt peacefully though not securely. Two hundred Indians live here in adobe huts surrounded by hedges of prickly pear From good authority we learned that three of" the characters in that book of H. H. J. still live Ramona in Mexico, the Indian woman at Saboba. who befriended the child wife and mother, and the man who, for gain, killed Alessandro. Redlands was so called from the color of its soil. Pomona, Ontario, San Gabriel, Colton, San Bernardino, Riverside and Highlands were only viewed from a car window, so we will not tell you any thing about them, and I am sure you are pleased as my letter is getting lengthy. After trying California climate five, months we decided that Ne braska climate, with all of its im perfections, suited us better to live in; so we bade our relatives and friends bcod-bye with many regrets atleaving them and turned our faces homeward. We chose the Santa Fe route home for the reason that we had never before taken that line and thought it would be preferable in early spring, owing to the deep snows in 'the mountains farther north. A few hours' ride took us away from the flowers and fruit, through Cajon pass and over the mountains into the Majare dessert. Here the cactus, sage and grease wood grow; and the tree-like yucca palm, bristling with daggers on every limb, We read our guide-book telling us of the beautiful scenery all along the line and we, looked for it in Ari- . 1 ity in every department of woik, tells the story of Salt Lake City schools. The people are a large hearted, progressive class. The Mormons are strangely like other people in every way. 1 have visited homes of culture and refinement in which may be seen all the appointments of wealth rare collections of books, pictures and curiosities. ,They are frank and kind in their reception of strangers, and lovely and- genial when yon become a friend. -The children the writer cinnot get. very-faraway from the cnildren any where are just the same here as elsewhere. Just as dear, good arid beautiful; and just as bright There are more in a family here, so they sharpen their wits by contact. There is much sunshine and many flowers here, too, so that they seem r to stow like them, "L tali's best are often called, and The fame of the City of the Saints is universal. This prominence is Jargely due to the peculiar religious views hej'dby its founders. Salt Lake Cttyi. situated eighteen miles from the lake was founded by the Mormons after their exodus from Nauvoo, HI. Brigham Young with 150 men arrived in the valley July 24, 1847. The church arrived in in stallments, and has continued to come from all parts ot the earth ever since. Its situation, half-way between Omaha and. the -Pacific coast and on the great continental railwaty linesr an altitude of 4,200 feet its encircling mountain range, rick in untold mineral wealth, an inexhans- and a climate above reproacn, airT-rii:- unite to make a pleasant thriving city, and to insure one unmistably great in the future. The present population is 65,000. and with clim ate, situation, resources and people of the best no city in the United States has a brighter outlook. The question of finance is one in which Zion feels a keen and intelli gent interest. The silver subject so affects the entire West, that what is true of one point is true of the section. Since the demonetiza tion of silver business in all lines has fallen off from forty to sixty per cent. The old question of state's rights seems to have made a general sweep, and crept even into the minds of those in the g. o. p. That the general government has a right to stultify the growth, and to kill or make dormant the indus tries of a great section- by cutting off the source of its greatest wealth is unquestionable; but, quoting the forceful rather than elegant lan jruajreot a Nebraska man, whether because one has the chance he can crop tney truly so. Of one little boy now in school a friend tells, that havinjr said his prayers and been safely tucked in bed his mother left him alone. Soon a strange sound brought her on tip toe to the door, through whichfshe could see by the bedside a white robed, kneeling figure- "Ting-a- ling, ting-a-ling." "Why, Johnnie, what are you doing?" "Mamma, I forgotto pray for Tom Caper who had his leg cut off by a car to-day. I thought the Lord might be off lis tening to some other little boy so I was just ringing- him up." There are many little boys and girl-in North Platte by. -wbbhi the writer would enjoy being "Rung up." MELL FORSYTHEi Salt Lake. April 28. '95". : v mmmt 4 "mWnW"!" A Word from Mrs. Goudy. jive that as a rood reason formak ing an unmitigated ass of himself might be doubtful, the conduct of the general government and some people one may meet even in Ne braska to the contrary, notwith standing. Without exception all parties are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of six teen to one. The people of Utah deem Jeff Davis an ignoramus, a villian and a traitor; but many add, compared with Cleveland, he was a scholar, a gentleman, and a patriot Politics here is in an extremely cha otic state. Until two years ago the parties were known as the people's and the liberals, which meant Mor mons and non-Mormons. Now the national parties, at least nominally, exist both great parties lying awake nights planning overtures to the church by which to secure its vote The democrats succeeded two years ago. The republicans, with Frank Cannon at their head, suc ceeded this. If consistency is still a jewel it is one with a setting in many places.

The people among whom I did my first away from home" work and who have at all times since had my most grateful love and appreciation for all their kindnesses and help fulness during my stay among them. That they should have re membered me through all these years since, with all their varied and separate interests, is to me a source of joy and help more than can be told to sustain a faith in people and in the belief of true hu man friendship which rise above purely personal interests. There are many reasons why North Platte and its old-time friends have a place- in my heart which no other place or people can ever have. The places which have been made and the work done by many whom I knew there as children and whose very position in the school rooms I so distinctly remember, is certainly a source of pride to the people and to any who may have been connected with their lives. Please convey to the manage ment my heartiest greeting of good will and for full success in this ef fort with regrets at not being able to add some little mite of help to an enterprise with which I consider it an honor to have my name con nected.
