Ik The Tribunes report of tho Re
publican county convention which ap
peared in the issue of Apiil 8th the list
of congressional Mogates appeared un

the senatorial delegates were printed as

will make a note of this fact Also that
A D Johnstons name should be added
to tho list of senatorial delegates
Well Haray Lindsay gets left The
Tribune knows little about the merits
of the cat e and cares less about the fac
tional element in tho contest if any
there be for political larty factional
ism is a good deal like dog eat dog but
in it all one cant help experiencing a
sensation of regret and sympathy for
Lindsay although the chances are that
he would bo better off in every material
aspect in a few brief years if he should
definitely cut out politics and confine
himself to his profession

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
In tho summer of 1675 there sailed from
Franco for Quebec a vessol that included
among tho passengers Father Louis Hennepin
who was destined to become one of the most in
trepid adventurers in tho now world Louis
Hennepin was born about tho year 1640 inBol
giutn while that country was under tho domin
ion of Spain Ho becamo a Recollect friar but
his temperament did not permit him to submit
patiently to tho strict discipline imposed by the
superiors of his order Ho was a wanderer a
lovor of adventure and ho went from place to
place in the sees to which ho was assigned so
fnr as under tho rules of tho church ho was
able to do Ho was not content with the narrow
horizon of the old world but longed for tho op
portunities afforded by America It is saidand
it may readily be believed that he employed
every art of which he could avail himself to se
cure tho appointment that brought him to this
side of tho Atlantic
Arrived at Quebec Hennepin spent most of
his time for several years in tho wilderness fol
lowing the hunters and trappers nnd visiting
tho Indians in thoir villages as a missionary
priest In tho winter his clothing and a porta
ble chapel were carried on dog sledges ho fol
lowing on snow shoes in summer he traversed
tho water wajs in canoes Afterwards he was
transferred to Fort Frontenac where he came
in oven closer contact with tho frontiersmen
and natives and from which he made excur
sions into the country of tho Iroquois
Tho work of the churih was always carried on
simultaneously with that of exploration by the
Catholic nations and mi sionaries were mem
bers of every band of adventurers When La
Sallo started upon his explorations Hennopin
was selected to accompany him An account of
LaSalles discoveries and fate has heretofore
been given in this column and so far as Henne
pins course was tho same as LaSalles the story
will not bo repeated Hennepin with two com
panions left LaSalles party in central Illinois
Floating down tho Illinois river to its conflu
ence with tho Mississippi they ascended that
stream for some distance when they were cap
tured by tho Sioux by whom thoy were carried
on long hunting trips into the interior It is
impossible to determine the extent of their
wanderings but it is certain that Hennepin taw
tho Falls of St Anthony he being in fact the
first to describe them as he was tho first to tell
tho European world of Niagara He traversed
much of tho country embraced within the
states of Iowa and Minnesota and he may even
have como within tho state of Nebraska If so
ho was with tho oxception of Coronado wlio is
known to have crossed what is now the boundary
lino between Kansas and Nebraska the first
white man to stand upon our soil At any rate
in his map of the region covered by his explora
tions Hennepin traces tho Missouri river to its
source which ho conceived to be a lake among
mountains
Tho friar and his companions wero rescued by
a party of hunters and after pursuing the toil
some and weary journey back to Quebec he
eventually returned to France where he pub
lished tho account of his discoveries His book
attracted wide attention Though filled with
inaccuracies and absurd claims as to the part
he took in tho expeditions of which ho was a
memberhis Discovery of a Now Country and an
earlier work Louisiana are among tho earliest
chronicles wo have of the exploration of the in
terior of our country For these they are of in
estimable worth though they should be read
with caution and in connection with other and
more authentic accounts of explorations in
America An excellent though brief account
of Hennepins adveutures will be found in La
Salle and tho Discovery of tho Great West
Hennepins own narrative has recently been
published in two magnificent volumes issued by
