he published two volumes giving the result
of his work, "Qulvlra" and "Harahei."

The Btate Historical society haa taken
considerable Interest In the work of Mr.
Brower and Mr. Hodge owing to tbe faet
that the blatory of Kansas begins with the
Spanish expedition's visit to Qulvlra year
before any colonlea were established on ths
continent in the New World,
The Qulvlra Historical society, for which
Mr. Henderson erected this shaft, was or
ganized at Alma, Kan., October 29, 1901.
The object was to form sn association of
explorers, autbora and ethnologic stu
denta for tbe prosecution of Investigations
and perpetuation of results concerning the
ancient and more recent occupancy of the
weat and northwest, particularly the state
northwest of Arkansas to ths Rocky moun
tains. Ths officers of the society sre:
Jacob V. Brower, St, Paul, president; B. E.
Blackman, Lincoln, Neb., vice preaident;
Edward A. Kllllan, Alma. Kan., secretary;
John T. Keagy, Alma, Kan., chairman of
executive committee. The late J. Sterling
Morton was an honorary member of tho
society..
Juan de Padllla, whose nam appear on
the ahaft, waa a friar who accompanied
th expedition of Spaniards. He returned
to Mexico with Coronado, but later re
turned and converted all the Qulvlra. In
1641 he vii killed by a war party of Oua
Indiana. J. V. Brower aaya Padllla was
killed near what I known now a Reckon
Springs in Dickinson county. Many Catho
lics are here today toattend the unveiling
ceremonies In memory of the first martyr
to their faith in the New World.
Up to 1611 no European had explored the
Interior of either North or South America. '
Balboa began the work when he crossed
tho Isthmua of Panama and discovered an
ocean which he called the Pacific. In 1519
Cortes landed on the coaat of Mexico with
a foroe of Spanish soldiers and adven
turers and plunged into ths heart of the
country. v Cortes captured the City of
Mexlco and took the ruler, Montesuma,
prisoner. He made himself master of
Mexico. The expedition of Cortes turned
the attention of tho Spaniards from th
West Indian Islands to the mainland.

where the plain people sleep for tbe most
part wrapped in sheepskin Croats, on th
brick or stone floor over tbe atove, with
the ever-ready samovar bubbling on ths
chimney shelf abovs their heads, the prob

such a reduction, any more than they
would aooept the French plan of half frees

genteelly around a diminutive brailer full
of half-dead coals.
Europe sets awnings upon its palaces,
especially Its pleasure palaces. In Amer
ica one finds them everywhere even upon
tenements. That they are not entirely uni
versal is due in large measure to the uhl
veraal vacation habit. Aa much may be
said of window and door screens, which bar

Take Walk.
Ths Latin advice, "Post coensm stab Is

strain an overloaded stomach and I would
rather go without food than without walk.
Obatacles increase the pleasure, vexations

Increase perspiration, but that ia a discom
fort which must wllUngly be borne. H. W.
Beecher aaid: "There are many troubles
which you cannot cure by the bible or
hymn book, but which you can cure by
perspiration and fresh air." External gym
nasiums are scarce; golf and moat other
outdocr playa require some exertion of the
brain. But when we walk we can give the
mlud a complete rest and graduate our
effort according to our strength. Let those
who are feeble walk, at an easy gait, half
a mile when their muscles strengthen, a
mile and they will soon find the exerclae
a pleasure Instead of a penance; It will
dispel the gloom which they hugged, and
their achea will vanish. Air la man'a ele

pushed westward for two years, wandering
over the plains and mountains of the west
in search of the "Seven Cities." He crossed
Kansa twice. He passed near the sits of
modern Santa Fe and crossed the Canadian
river. Coronado founded a town which he
called Qulvlra. There has always been
dispute in the histories ss to the exact
location of Qulvlra, but it waa believed to
have been In Kansaa or Nebraska. Coins
pieces of armor and weapons of early Span

American Necessities Are
Europe's Luxuries.
Throughout Great Britain, the country
wnose standard ot comfort most nearly ap
proaches our own, many things which
American laborers eat plentifully are re
served for the very rich. Peaches, tor ex
smple. Unless Imported and tasteless as
well as dear, they are wall fruit, only
little lea flavorless, and dearer still.
Peach trees grow well enough, but will
fruit only on a wall or in a glass bouse.
The best of the fruit fetches S shillings, s
little more than a dollar, apiece. Ten
shilling the dosen will. In a favorable sea
son, buy fair fruit. A basket, meaning
maybe four fine peaches packed in allver
tissue paper, cotton wool and osier willow
may stand yon in a guinea. So it is easy
to understand that many among even the
well-to-do live and die without ever tasting
a really One peach.
It la much the same as to melon,
France supplies the bulk ot those grown
outside melon; houses and cold frames.
English gardeners have the soil and the
skill, but lack of sunshine to perfect them
In the open. Private gardenera, ot course,
, take pains to supply the tables of the great,
but only In exceptional localities are there
market possibilities. In the case of grapes

Spain, Sicily, even from California, are

family; going from house to house, from
morning until night, he solicited the orders
of his former associates. This proved to be
a more efficient cure than water; the gout
disappeared, he became healthier and
atronger than he bad ever been. Another
friend, who daily walked to bis town office,
retired with a competence from aotive busi

The common excuse of tho who preach but
fall to practice exercise I want of time; la
pursuit of fortune or power they forget their
well-being and shorten their days more than
they would require for the proper care of
their bodies while they live. Pedeatrlsns
should combine snd form federations like
the League of American Wheelmen, for
mutual protection and encouragement.
Successful authors, men ot thought, have
been fond of tbe practice. Walter Scott
walked fifteen miles a day, James Ruaaell
Lowell never rode where he eould walk,
William Wordsworth found his promenads
more exhilarating than old port. The chief
editor ot a large daily newspaper marches
five miles every night to his distant horns,
when, at 1:30 in the morning, he leaves his
office. President Roosevelt is an ardent
walker.
Habitual walking, combined with diet and
ether corporal discipline, promotea diges

given to contemplation. The "padre" at
the village looked upon him aa a devout
man and a aturdy follower of the mother
church, but there was In him something
which led the priest to caution htm against
unlicensed reading and .atudles too deep
for the Filipino nature. When the war
broke out with tbe Inaurgenta "Pape Isclo"
was one ot the first to talcs the side of
the natives, and because of his superior
knowledge was chosen as one of the leaders
of a band of "lnsurrectos." In this posi
tion he served but a short time and then
withdrew from the army ot Agulnaldo and
retired to the fastness of the mountain.
From time to time word came to bis
former neighbors ot ths peculiar action of
their whilom associate, and from these re
ports It was decided by them in emulation
of the early Christian centuries hs had re
tired forever from the world.
Declares Himself Pope.
One day the community waa startled br
the reappearance of "Pape Isclo" at bis
home. He came not a a hermit nor as
cetic, but aa a king come to hla own. He
was proclaimed by a stranger who accom
panied him a th leader of a new dispensa
tion the pope of Negro and th king of
the Island. With tbe few who accompanied
mm from his mountain grotto he began to
preach ths doctrines of a new religion.
This religion closely followed that ot the
Catholic church and the observances were
much alike, but instead of the sovereignty
being with the pope of Rome it waa with
the pope of Negroa. He proclaimed peace
to all who would follow him. and foretold
death and disaster to thoae who would not
acknowledge his clalma. He had acquired
knowledge of the forces of natur !n ad
vance of the people of the Island and per
formed "miracles" which added many to
his church.
About this time the United States troona
arrived at Negros, and this wss one of the
islands upon which the insurrection was
not active. The people ubmltted. Not so
with Pape Isclo and hla follower. They
retreated into the mountains, where they
Dia aenance to the United States and to
all powers and potentatea other than their
leader. The band waa not as hostile as
others, and Its depredations were not so
annoying, but from time to time the forces
of the government came Into contact with
them and they fought as hard as anv.
Many attempt were made to capture the
head of the rellgloua xealot. Promlaes ot
amnesty to him and his followers have been
sent to htm by trustworthy natives, but
neither threat nor promise baa won from
him an acknowledgment of the sovereignty
of ths United States, nor has any effort
mad been sufficient to obtain from the
natives information which would lead to
his capture. Members of his band have
been taken. Upon thtm every art has been
tried to secure information. They will talk
upon any subject, reveal the hiding place
of arms, but will say nothing which will
assist tbe government in capturing "Pape
Isclo."
Looked t'poa as Barred,.
Some of tbe natives havs penetrated Into
his citadel In the mountains without tak
ing a binding oath ot allegiance. They will
acknowledge making the trip and seeing
the pope, but none will reveal his secret
hiding place. They say that In that citadel
he la looked upon aa a sacred being, who
can command not only the force of tbe
world, but also of the supernatural, and
that he Is given a sort of worship second
ary only to that rendered to the God of ths
religion which to the God ot the Christians.
All of the wealth of hla people flows to
him and by him Is distributed. Complaint
at his decision is unheard of, and there ia
no appeal from his decision.
Said one of the returned off! cere: "Pape
Iaclo is one ot the problems ot ths new
possessions. He seems to have acquired
aome knowledge of elelght-of-hand aud ha
thrown a veil of mystery over hi actions
which haa caught ths fancy and held th
attention of th native with whom he haa
com in contact. By making a naw re
ligion he has lost the sympathy ot thoss
natives who are loyal to tbe Cathollo
church, but neither orthodox native nor
American soldier seem equal to the task
of capturing blm. In fact, we have never
been permitted to see him, and those of
bis followers who we capture seem to be
afraid to apeak of him.
Natives Are Also Shrewd.
"Hla outbreak was coincident with the
occupation of the Island by the United
States. It has been shown, I believe, that
there was an understanding between the
natives of ths island of Negroa and the
natives of other lalanda that Negros should
be pacified. Ths natives should operate
their sugsr plantations in peace, sell the
product to the factories and buy munition
of war to supply tbe Insurgent forces, but
ths arms should never come to Negros, as
thst would cause the United Btatea to be
suspicious. Ths general ot ths United
States ws completely taken In by the
native of Negroa and reported all thing
satisfactory when there was a much Ill-
feeling upon that Island a upon any other.
Unfortunately. Pap Isclo waa not taken
into the agreement with the other natives.
He went into th fight for fair, and hi
claim to spiritual power to made only to
bind his followers closer to him."
