Yesterday nftornoon In tlio presences of
2,000 people Csi > 'uiin John Chapman's new
loubio decked steamer , the M. F. Uolircr ,
wns launched t 4:55. : A number of news
paper representatives climbed the ladder for
tlio purp69c of Inspecting tlio boat when It
broke from Its moorings nnd slid oft gracefully -
fully Into tlio water. Thu "sllilo" was premature -
mature , but tor all that was made without
any accident. Thrco cheers burst from tlio
assembled coneourso as a greeting to tlio new
craft , after which Shu was made fast by lines
to tlio shore. Shortly after 5 o'clock tlio for
mal ceremonies occurred up jnttio lower dee-k
of the steamer. W. II. Copson IntroilucoJ
Mayor Kohror , who spoke bnelly nnd in n
most Imppv vein. He referred to the tlma in
the history of Council UlulTs when ono hack
was snfllcient to transport visitors about Uiu
city , but now ninny , nnd tlioso the iincst , were
seen upon the streets. It was but a shoit
time ago when ono boat was sullk'ient for vhc
needs of those wtio visited Lake Mnntiwn.
Now four beautiful steamers sailed
upon Its waters. In belnilf of thu
position ho occupied as mayor of the
city , the city council , the iK.OUO pcoplo anil

accepted the honor tlio occasion imposed. Hi
then Introduced his nleec , Miss Loflio Ar

christened the boat , breaking a bottle ol
wino over the bow. W. A. Mynstur , in be
half of the people assembled , was Introduced
by Captain Chapman. His appearance was
greeted with applanso. Ho spoito briefly ami
appropriately , rcheurs'iig the growth ol
Munawa Lnko to its present position as the
recognized pleasure resoit of the Mlssour
viille-y. Very soon the boat , with its merrj
load , steamed out , and u couple of hours wen
pleasantly passed upon the bosom of t'i ' <
lake. Tlio occasion was most successfully
tcuninatod , and amid cheers for the M. F
Uolircr and its gallant captain the crowd ro
embarked upon the train In waiting and wen
borne homeward. The occasion was niadi

"In the construction of the Kansas
Pacific and Tnpolm & Santa Fo rail
roads , " bald H. L. Carter , a railroad
contractor of St. Josonh , the oilier day
to a repro-ontaUvo of the Industrial
World , "one dillk'ulty of frequent oc
currence was mot with which , as far as
my experience goes , la unique in rail
road history. I refer to the trouble
arising from quic'khands , From west
ern KuiibHS to the mountains quick
sands are to be fpund in nearly every
stream , no matter how small , and lo
successfully bridge them required
an expenditure out ot all proportion to
the bine of .the btrcam lo bo cro&setl.
Wo tried pile drivintr , but the
longest piles disappeared without lotii'li-
iilg the bottom , Then tilling with earth
and stone was attempted , and met with
equally poor bueccns , as the quicksand
was apparently capable of swallowing
the entire Koe'kv mountains. The only
means of cro-wing was found to bo to
build short truss bridges across thorn.
This was very expensive , but was the
only thing to bo done. As an instance
of lluH practically bottomless nature of
tlio quicksands , t may cite the eabo of
an eilfjino that ran off the track at
River Bend , about ninety miles from
Denver , on the Kansas Pacific. The
engine , a , large freight , fell into a
quickband , and in twenty minutcb had
entirely disappeared. Within two days
the company bent out a gang of men
and a. wrecking train to raise the en
gine. To their surpribo they could not
find a trace of it. Careful bearch
was made , inngnetr/cd rods were
sunk to the depth of sixty-five feet , bul
no engine could be found. It had bunli
beyond liuman Iron , and from that day
to this Jins never been discovered. Cat
tle and horses are frequently lost , the
only animal that is safe bping a mule
the only animal tlmt never gets caught ,
No greater instance of the intelligence
of this much-maligned quadruped car
bo cited than the skill and care witli
which it avoids an unsound bottom. At
its hoofs are much smaller and narrow
er than those of a horse , it would mm
down in places whore a horse couli
safely pass. Recognizing this fact
whenever a mule feels the ground giv
ing away under nib feet it draws biiel <
instantly and cannot bo induced to ad
vance u step , although a whole drove o
hoi'aos may have immediately preceded
Those who think a mule is"stupid art
much mistaken. "

Julian Magnus in the Epoch : It is t
the selfishness and thoughtlessness n
the rich that the growth of "tipping- ' !
mainly due. But while the result i
not oppressive to them , it has become
serious tax On persons of moderate income
como who travel much or take thoi
meals in restaurants. The man wh
can alTord to pay anywhere from $2 \
6-3 for his dinner does not miss the qutii
icr , which is the lowest amount that h
will give the waiter. To the m.in o
woman of moderate means who take
throe meals a day at a restaurant whcr
tlio service is sulllciontly good to b
agreeable the necessity of paying 13
cents a day for "tips" is a serious addi
tion to the expenses of living. If hi
three meals cost from 81.50 to $2 the in
crease is from Hi to 20 per cent. Ovc
$100 a year compulsorily spent in "tips
is a sum which if saved would mak' '
to many people the ditt'ercnco bctwee
continual pinching and a fair degree e
comfort. Ton cents is the lowest "tip
that can bo given in a good seconi
class restaurant. Now , if a man hti

Tob. , July 0. [ Special
Correfipondonco of Tin : Uin. : ] If you
arise in er.rly morn on the second or
fourth Wednesday of any month and
drive thirty-Ilvo miles iiorth of Rush-
ville to the valley of the White Clay
river in the Sioux Indian reservation ,
three miles above the Pine Illdgo
ngoncy , you will witness a bcono not
easily forgotten in your future wander
ings. Kastwilrd htretches dimly away
the winding , iedgy valley of the lovely
rippling stream who e source is the
bubbling crystal Springs in the Pine
Hidgo hills. Westward , and the valley
is lost to sight by encroafhiiiir hills , as
its channel wind ofi its course to its
mother stream , the White river. Aa
fur as the eye can reach , 'uid all around
you , are the active citmpi and topcus of
the tqiiiuv man , and original inhabi
tants of the plains. Dotted along the
river baul\s for milcf , these sodden ,
smoUc'-slained dtiinicilcs of these wild
people of the forest appear in endless
profusion. When one comes in sight of
this grand panorama of primitive habi
tation , a he descends the northern slope
into the valley , ho can but contemplate
the romaiit'o of the occasion. It is the
day of tht- big is < ue when four thousand
bui'Us , M\ua\vs and papooses congregated
tit the government corral are U > receive
their monthly beeves , and rations. On
wagons drawn by broncho ponies wails
the female part of the family together
with the younger element whose youthfulness -
fulness deprives them of riding on
horseback , and around every vehicle is
the pack of sneaking , s'narling. barking
dogs that every lodge invariably poss-
cssei. On her cbiiek painted In all the
gaudy colors known to the Indian art ,
are the young men and old warriors ,
each armed with an implement of wave-
faro of some description , cantering up
and down the Hold as though there wore
preparations being inaile for ado < -perate
battle , all the hUleousness of which
their savage minds is capable of con
ceiving , is displayed on every
feature. Contortio'nate expressions
of countenance. signs and sig

and bone rings for ornaments , dangling
fiomtheoars , or suspended by their
matted , jet black hfiir. nro some of the
fiMtures of ai'lion .aad dross to which the

One will observe among them those wlu
think themselves much alune thoii
associates , and my attention was called
parliuularly to onu gaunt and greasy ser
of the wilderness , who believes himsel
to bo the glass of fashion am
the mould of form. He eanu
up to mo and asked for "towak'
( tobacco ) , apparently as unconscious o
his otiors as though redolent o
patchonly and white rose. He win
truly unwashed , and nearly naked , save
in the respect of paint and feathers an < ]
the scanty government blanket throwr
over his shoulders , and if the impolite
truth bo told he was swarming will

Upon the { arrival of the -agent ni
chief clerk and interpreter the ludia
formed in line in a sort oT "press
arms" style , each line facing the oth <
leaving u spaeo of .about' thirty fc
through which the frightene'd aniim
'
woi'c compelled to p'ass on leaving t
c\it of the corral , And as each mil
was called from the record the gal
keeper announced tlio bpovos for t
sumo and the interpreter gave the sai
in aborigine language , to an Indl ;
caller , who proclaimed' it in turn to t
crowd , and the red skin1 answering
the name woujd immediately dash fr <
the ranks with all the chivnl
an < } pompousness of Indian brave
and put-sue at lull speed the frighten
animal , chasing the beast for at least a
mile from the inclosuro before shooting.
After tormenting , torturing and aggra
vating the brute until its endurance
was beyond forbearance , the Indian
would dispatch his victim with his
Colts or Winchester. Tlio process goes
on the same throughout the ontitu ex
ercises , nnd It is no small sight to wit
ness throe or four lundred of these
slaughtering heroes upon the plain at
one time , and the discharge of tiroarms
sounds like the combat of lighting
armies. Imincdititoly after the tlrst
beef Icnves Iho inclosuro the squaws
start for the slaughter Held with their
wagons , in order to bo ready to skin
and dress the animal. Tlio "big bravo
Injun" has done his noble work in the
atlair and with the trophy of the ani
mal's smoking tongue for his pri/.e. ho
sita upon his pony while his squaws pre
pare the carcass for that process by
which it becomes jerked beef. Kvery-
whore and always the squaws do the
work and the men are idle. The hide
ous and toothless erono is never too old
to work , never old enough to
rest. The life of her and all
her daughters is that of a
slave , a slave horn and predestined , to
whom rest ttnd liberty shall nevercomo.
She is beaten , abused , reviled , driven
like any other beiisl of burden. She is
bought and sold ; wife , mother and pack
animal joined in onu hideous and hope
less whole a squaw.
There is but little more beauty to bo
found among Indian "maidens" than
there is among gorillas. Those- false
poems which descant upon the charms of
diisky loVc and the romance of wilder-
'
nc s'allcction are vagno imagjnationsof
a dime novel mind. Poolie license is a
wanton and wayward thing , and has
been made to caper nimbly to strange
tunes , but the man who invented those
charming but pheiiominally false Indian
ideals , nnd llrst crowned the universal
squaw with the ro es of love , ought to
see the woman once , and ho never would
again clluse on her " bewitching
charms. "
Kver.y particle of the animal is saved
and utili/.cd , even the blood is left in
the llcsh , and the intestines are carried
to the lodge and eaten as one of their
most dainty dishes. A grotesque cate
gory of names of these pcoplo becomes
amusing to one on lirst visit , but
after awhile its peculiarities will
not be thought of. Indians are
named in honor of some peculiar circum
stance , or characteric , in their curly life ,
I append a few which are among the
prominent of the Sioux tribe , all being
heads of consolidations , Cra/y Bear , No
Flesh , Broken Arm , Littlo-Ono-Too ,
Horny Bull. Kun-After-Cat , Feather-
Man , Young Bat , etc. There are 15 < l of
these consolidations , consisting of thirty
pcoplo each , one-half as many others
who got their rations from the block ,
making a total of 7,0" ( ) people at this
agency. The government issues to these
i23U beeves every twenty-eight days and
lliO every fourteen days , making 800
beeves a month. After a pleasant visit

and accommodating agentand his chiel
clerk , Harry Clark , and lookingthrougli
