WHERE STRANGERS MAY WORSHIP TODAY. J'rnpnrnlltiim Jtiijiltlly Progressing ft > r the Coining Clmiituiitimi 'I lie Count'H Washed Out HrlilKCH The Guard * Will Dunce. A meeting that will bo attended with con siderable Importance to tbo union depot pro ject will bo held In this city tomorrow morn ing , when each of the roads entering the city and which propose to enter the union depot , with the exception of the Burlington , will send an engineer to confer with the union depot company with reference ; toseciiringtlio right of way for satisfactory approaches. As was stated at the tltno of the meeting of the railroad ofllclnls last Wednesday , the Bur lington offered to give the other eastern lines n leiiso of an approach to the union depot , run ning for iihiety-iilno years , but the rental price was regarded as exorbitant. The mat ter was then referred to the head officials of the various roads for action at a future meet ing In Chicago. It now scorns that some of the railroad men uro of the opinion that It will be possible to outer the union depot grounds from the east without going through the Burlington , and It is to ascertain whether or not there is another practicable route that .the meeting will bo held tomorrow. Inasmuch as the Burlington already has an entrance to the union depot grounds , it Is not interested in the matter and wilt not , there fore bo represented. The Milwaukee , Hock Island , Wabash , Northwestern and Union 1'aelllo will each send an engineer , although the latter two roads nro indirectly Interested in the matter , as they enter the depot grounds from the west. The route proposed is along the present line of tlio Wabash track to its freight house. The "Wabash company owns a row of lots cast of the Consolidated tank line company's ware house , and It Is proposed to lay another double track there for the purpose of allow ing the Milwaukee. Hock Island and Wubash to get Into the union depot. The pro posed route Is from this point north to Tenth avenue , thence west Into the depot grounds. The engineers will make u survey to ascertain whether the necessary curves will be practicable. They will make 'their report to the three roads directly , inter ested in Chicago about the middle of the week , when P. M. Gault of this city , general manager of the Wabash , will consult with representatives of the Milwaukee- and Hock Island as to what will bo the proper course to pursue. The Burlington demands about 1'JOO , a year rental from each of the other roads for crossing their yards , and it is be lieved that n satisfactory approach can bo se cured for much less money ; Messrs. Wright and Pusey of the union depot committee will meet with the engineers iind give them such assistance as may bo re quired.

Till ; INDIAN FIUH PI11HT. ' A Hemarkublc Order iu n Sentimental Campaign Against the ICetl Men. Although only twenty-two years 1mvo elapsed since the termination of the hiHt grout Indian wnr in Ktuisaa , it IB almost forgotten by the majority who lived in Unit Htato then , anil to the new genera tion ia but n vague and intlellnHe chapter - tor of history , says the Kansas City Star. To properly appreciate its mng'nitudo and bloody record it is necessary to un derstand the events which led to the Btrugglo for supremacy by two distinct civilizations. lu 1800 the settlements in Kansas ex tended only as far west as the mouth of the Republican , becoming more scattered beyond that point , until where the Smoky Hill makes its sudd MI sweep to the south east near Fort Hai'lcer they prac tically ended. From there the "Great American Desert , " so called , com menced , and in 1S07 , when the late lamented General Sheridan was ordered to Kansas ( August 20 of that year ) , to assume command of the military depart ment of Missouri , with headquarters at Fort Lcavcnworth , nearly all of the hos tile Indians in the United States were contained in the region referred to. At the first mentioned dale , 1805 , be gan an exodus from all the region cast of the Mississippi into that beyond the Missouri , and colonfes were established away put as far as the ninety-eighth meridian , on the onon prairies , rich val leys and wooded intervals. But mur derous bands of Arnpahoes , Coinanches , Cheyenne ? , Kiowas and the powerful Dak'otas , jealous of. the invasionmarked the line of march of western immigra tion with mile-posts of graves. From the Pliitte to the borders of Mexico the infant settlements \vova constantly raided by those bloodthirsty savages anil their peaceful inhabitants butchered. Suddenly , without a moment's warning , with the rush of a tornado , the Indians , feather-bedecked and paint-bedaubed , uttering their blood-curdling war whoop , swept down into the valley from the hills and out of the canons in every direction , murdering and scalping in- discriminatingly. Old and young were alike butchered ; even helpless babes sleeping in their cradles were pierced through and through with cruel arrows or their little brains dashed out against the doorposts. The torch was then tip- plied to the cabins , and in a few hours nothing was left of those happy homos of the morning but mounds ot ashes , while on the scorched and blackened sod silt rounding the horribly mutilated victims of savage hatred lay swelling and putrefying in the noonday sun. Then , perhaps for weeks , the Indians would disappear , or hang around with a semblance of friendliness ; but they wore really sullen and watchful , waiting for their opportunity when the oblivious homesteaders , lulled into a fancied seriso of security through a period of repose , should become careless or indifferent ; then when that supreme moment arrived - rived which the savages had been so patiently looking for they would rally their bands of young warriors and repeat their horrible butcheries. Simultaneous attacks were made by the Kiowas and Uhoyennes upon the engineering parties and track-layers of the Kansas Pacific railroad , which was then pushing west ward across the state from Fort Harker , and it was evident that all improvements of that character would have to bo abandoned unless prompt action was taken by both the state and general gov ernments. For more than a year , all up and down the Republican , Smoky Hill and tribu- lary valleys , in Marion , Butler and Greenwood counties on the cast and over the entire entire central and western portions of the state , the pioneer settlers wore constantly exposed to Indian raids of the most diabolical character in fact the whole frontier was assailed. In the fall of 1807 the memorable but ridiculous so-called "Peace commission" met ridiculous in the sense of any pos sible ellicacy in dealing with the vexed question. Congress had appropriated $400,000 to carry out the provisions of the bill relating to it , and it was com posed of some of the brightest statesmen and philanthropists of the country , but who had no moro conception of the In dian character and the seriousness of the problem they are called upon to solve than n Hottentot has of the calculus. I cannot recall their names , as I tun writ ing these reminiscences entirely from memory , so mention notio ; Gonornls Harney , Sherman and Terry , I remem ber , were the commissioners on the part of the army , and what they thought of the absurdity of the whole thing , par ticularly Sherman and Harney , Is best expressed by General Sheridan upon whom all the real responsibility rested of bringing peace to the outraged bor der in a letter he wrote to General Sher man , in which ho demands that the war dopartmcnt"lmvo solo ami entire control of the Indians.1' Ho says in his report : "it is the interest of the nation and hu manity to put an end l' this inhuman farce. The peace iiunission and the Indian departmetr. make a bulky team. The public treasury is depleted and innocent people murdered In llio quadrangular management , ! ! ! which the public treasury ami the unarmed set tlers are the greatest sufferers. " It is a fact that the sentlmentall'sts of the east the adherents of the "Quaker policy , " so-called were inlluontial enough to have an order issued to the army of the frontier in effect that no In dian was to bo tired upon under any cir cumstances unless he , the Indian , had llred llrst. It is hardly necessary testate state that the order was moro honored in the breach than in the obsorvant'efor men on the plains wor not given to allow an Indian "to get the drop on them , " if they could prevent it. On June ill , I think it was , 1807about three months before the farcical meeting of the "Peace commission , " in Kansas , General Custor lost sixty men in a light with the Indians near the headwaters of the Republican ; how many of the sava ges ho killed 1 do not know , but I was on the battleground in the summer of 188- fifteen years afterwards and the number of unmistakable. Indian skulls yet to bo seen was prodigious. Neither do I know whether the general waited for the savages to "flro llrst , " but with my knowledge of the reckless soldier , I am Inclined to think not. SOCIETY IN ENGLAND. The Standard of Morality Among the Upper Classes Ilathcr law. Lucy Hooper in a London letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says : There has always been prevalent a conviction that a higher standard of morality is common in the higher classes of British society than is to bo found in correspond ing circles in continental Europe. This k altogether a misttike. In the early days of Queen Victoria's reign , when the court wtis presided over by a young woman of tlio severest virtue , matters were very different. The soiled doves existed then as now , and as they always will exist , but not in large numbers , and they were not permitted to flutter their sullied wings in the guarded precincts whore royalty sat in state. Wo or they or somebody have changed all this. Hank and fashion can do as they like. I can mention , for instance , a beautiful and titled Englishwoman , one of the ro- cogni/.ed leaders of London society , who is the mother of a child that cannot \vell bo accounted for by any complica tion of her conjugal arrangements. Yet her social position remains unques tioned and unassailable. There is an other well known woman of high rank whoso intrigues have been numberless and flagrant , and who is socially none the worse for her countless escapades. But it is of no use multiplying instances , for the list might bo extended indefi nitely. Only if any one who know the inside history of 'tho English nobility were to go carefully through that ponderous - derous volume , the British peerage , an notating the pages as ho road , the re sult would furnish sjomo remarkably spicy reading. The comparative and praiseworthy purity of English morals , as contrasted with those of the French , lies in the out ward cleanliness of their literature and art. The nos-elt and plays , the prints and the photographs , and the columns of the daily papers are wholly free from indecorousness , unless indeed the de tails of seine peculiarly sensational di vorce disfigure the latter. . For your British moralist does not disdain to write very nasty things , if only they be true , on such occasions , The publica tion , for instance , of the Colin Campbell divorce suit would htivo boon as impos sible for the French papers as would that of Zola's novel , "La Terre , " in an unmodified form , for the Knglish ones. But what is the use of keeping the British young person strictly secluded from all sight and knowledge of vice , if , on her introduction to society , she finds herself face to face witli vice itself , arrayed in velvet and diamonds , and smiled upon by all that is most ex clusive and severe.
