AN OLD PIONEER OF INDIANA.
The Origin OF TIppecanOe Battle.
Ground.

The Origin OF TIppecanOe Battle.
Ground.
From the Indianapolis Sentinel.l
There are many citizens Of the State
yet living, especially in the Southern
portion, who were personally acquainted
with General ClLrk. He was one Of
thirty.one children, twenty-nine sons and
two daughters. He was cousin Of Gen.
eral George Rogers Claik OF Kentucky,
who was also well known in frontier life.
General Marston G. Clark left his home
in Virginia in the spring of 1889, being
then nineteen years old. After travers-
iRg the dark and bloody ground
(Kentuck), he went into the then North
weat territory, crossing the Ohio river
q few miles above the falls, after
which he was a citizen of Indiana
territory and State till his death, which
occurred at his farm in Washington
county about the year lS45 or 1916. He
was with Mad Anthony
Wayne--in several of his expeditions
against the Indians. He was with Gen.
William Henry Harrison in most of his
campaigns in the Northwest. He once
told the writer that he was personally
acqainted with the celebrated Shawnee
warrior Tecumseh, as well as his brother,
the Prophet, who commanded the In
dams at the battle of Tippecanoe.
With Gen. Harrison, nt the latter battle,
in 1911, he and Col Taylor were ap-
pointed by the commanding general to
select a camping ground for the army
for the night. While Col. Taylor was
waiting for guard to be detailed to
accompany them, Gen. Clark proceeded
alone and selected the spot which next
morning became the battlefield Of Tip
pecanoe. The judicious selection he
made is apparent to every one who has
ever visited that battlefield. 1t is on
an elevated piece of ground, overlooking
the wet, swampy prairie in 'front.' with
small creek in the rear OF the army.
The attack of the Indians was made
from the front or prairie side of the en-
campment, and the marks in the trees
yet standing show that the Indians
shots were far above the heads of most
of the army To the sound judgment
of General Clark in the selection of that
battlefield was attributed the safety of
the army from butchery and annihila-
tion. General Clark was man with
strong and iron-like constitution and
an indomtable will. He was about
six feet in hight, straight as an
arrow, with q strong muscular frame.
In the earlier days of the territory
he dressed in the Indian style, and
could only be distinguished from them
by the color Of the skin. He had many
Offices of trust and emolument, among
which was that of Indian agent He
represented Washington eonHty in the
Legislature of both Territory and State. |
He was a warm supporter Of General |
Jacksons administration, and also of
General Harrison in the memorable
campaign of 1910, and was
selected BIZ the electoral college as their
messenger to cary the vote Of Indiana
% Washington, which he @t9 dressed in
Dll Indian costume. The last tTa he
1is.ied this city was during the session
,S the Legislature, 1923. He was then
n his seYenty-third year

Papa is very rich, and I'll have a new

is all invested in United States bonds,
and he has no taxes to pay This makes
it better for me. Papa has nearly mil

reservation is located on the east
side Of Commencement Bay along
Its entire coast line of about six
miles, and extending four or five
miles beyond the bay southerly,
with a width Of from three to five
miles. 1t seems to us that this In
dian reservation must be abolished
if the opposite side of the bay be-
comes a railroad city, or it will be-
come a serious hindrance to adia-
cent development.
Seattle is about thirty miles north
of Tacoma, on Elliott Bay, and is
the county seat of Kings county.
Elliott Bay, on which the town Is
situated, is six miles long, and has
a width Of two and a half miles,
which gives about fifteen miles of
coast lines. 1t has an average depth
of forty-tive fathoms in the middle,
and fifteen fathoms on lhe anchor
age ground; it is land-locked except
a narrow entrance, and is safe from
all storms. Water power is abund-
ant in the vicinity. The place has
room enough for to contain a large
city, being four miles from north to
south, and contains about eight
thousand acres. Three miles back
Of Seattle is Lake Washington, a
body Of fresh water twenty miles in
length and has an average breadth
Of four miles, besides being deep
enough to float the largest class OF
vessels; It's altitude is eighteen feet
above the Sound. It's entirely fea-
sible to connect this lake with the
Sound as dock for shipping. Coal,
iron and timber are all abundant in
the vicinity. The town contains
about eighteen hundred inhabitants,
and is at present the commercial
centre Of Puget Sound Three
fourths of the lumber business Of
the Sound concentrates within "a
dius Of thirty-iive miles Of Seattle ;
and as the logging camps require a
great amount of supplies, this town
is their depot. Occupying a central
position on the Sound, It's selection
as The n. p. Il. r. Terminus by the
Commissioners is not an impossible
contingency, though it involves the
necessity of Immediately construct
ING above thirty supernumerarym miles
of track more than should be requir-
ed if the choice falls upon Tacoma.
LATER.-The telegraph brings the
information that IdcOnaa has been
selected as the Western Terminus.
This leaves out in the cold, not only
Seattle, but Olympia at the head OF
the Sound, which had also oven a
prominent candidate for terminus
profits and honors.

EDUGA YIONAI.


In our day, parent can bestow
upon a child nothing more valuable
than a good education. But while
this fact is generally recognized,
and every locality has its school
house, there are those whose con
ceptions of what a good school
training should be. are, if not erro-
neous, at least very indefinite. Mene
a business man can remember with
what EN- barrassment he first essay
ed to do n sum that wasn't in the
book" " and that it took time and
practice to make himself familiar
with the operations required in busi-
ness, and capable in performing
them. Experience has taught us all,
that the instruction which we receiv-
ed III school was but preparatory
and general, and useful in a practic-
al way, ONLY as it enabled us more
readily to acquire that particular
knowledge which our business re-
quired. Nor is it reasonable to ex-
pect more than this. The most ac-
compIiShed college graduate has but
obtained that culture which makes
it possible for him to become, in
time, good lawyer, doctor, or me
chanic. 1t is, then, the province of
school to do this preparatory
work; when it does it well, it does
all that il can do. But the educa-
tlOn OF no person ends with his
school days. 1t is then, in fact, that
the real, special life-training begins,
and it is then that the advantage oi
a cultivated intellect, and taste
for study becomes apparent. A
mere familiarity with text books is
a poor reward for years spent i'll APP
plication and confinement, and it is
not to obtain this that children
should attend schOoI A child that
has finished a common school course
of instruction, should have acquired
correct habits Of thought, a love OF
study, and the ability to gain knowl.
edge from books. These acquire
ments are most important, and the
modes OF teaching and discipline OF
the school should be such as to Sc
cure them. A good teacher is len
lent in discipline, but exacting III
scholarship. The ultimate objecti1
school discipline, is not to have
children sit and move with military
precision, but to secure that degree
of order which is necessary TO good
work. All discipline which by its
severity OF harshness tends to make
a child dislike school, buys order at
a very dear price, and should be
avoided. Many lessons are learned
in school which are not to be found
i'll the text books, and parents should
see that the influences under which
their children are placed, are such
as will develope their best nature
and incline them to love through
life, the true and the good Chos
Whitaker.

+. 4. MOORE ON SUPERIOR

The well known correspondent of
the Milwaukee Sentinel, dashes off
letter for his paper, under date Of
June %, which we find in the issue
July 4, This is the way he puts it:
Late years we have heard much
of Duluth, and but little Of Superior
City. We have heard Of throuble'
up there; of dykes, cut-offs, Ca
nails, breakwaters,' and d great
law suit between the states Of Wis
consin and Minnesota, but the tri-
umph has always been with Duluth
Poor Superior City was getting cut,
slashed, slivered, disembowelIed at
every turn of the fight.
PROVIDENCE IITERFEREs.
Last fall the elements interfered
and Duluth got a sweeping setback.
| A dire storm ragged on the lake. The
famous breakwater, that had been
built at a cost of S45O,OOO to cover
the cutoff canal and to protect the
shipping in the outer harbor, went
down before the wrath of the waters
in a night If Providence ever in
terposes in q special way to set
things right III this world, as many
good people think, this seemed to
be case in point. The breakwater
was ruined irretrievably; Duluth
was dismayed ; Superior was com
forted. And now for the : law suit.
Wisconsin was standing like BIG
brother with AK and shovel IN hand
threatening to close the canal on one
side and clean out the dyke on the
other Duluth was uneasy about it =;
the Northern Pacific didn't want any
such 'unpIeasantness,' with their
bonds in market.
Things were at this pass till last
winter, when Governor w ashburn
was sent for to come to New York
and Washington. He was met by
! General CasS and others Of the North
/ Pacific and several Duluth men.
! Nothing was said about the law
! suit, DuG IL W d5 pipIlooet tHtI IIS
/ Company build bridge over to
| Conner's Point on the Superior side,
run a rail track along the tive-mile
| front, TO accommodate docks, erect
an elevator and build Q depot at the
! lower end of the harbor near the Ne
madji river-the Superior people to
furnish right of way and depot
grounds free OF cost. Governor
Washburn saw no objection to this.
1t was further agreed that an open
mo should be made in the dyke to
admit boats, etc and that the canal
should remain 50 long as the water
held good at the outlet Of the Supe-
rior harbor This was the basis up
on which was settled the $1,000
joint appropriation last winter, for
both The inner harbors Of Duluth and
Superior.

THE courts of Europe find the
Persian despot now visiting them, a
troublesome customer. He has PROV
ed himself a low, ignorant barbarian,
with less common sense, manners
and decency, than is displayed by
the savage rulers of African king
doms, or chiefs of North American
Indian tribes. He advised Empcr-
or William to hang the Empress
Augusta on account of her homeli-
ness, and suggested to the English
Prince of " ales after visiting the
powerful and wealthy Duke Of Suth-
erIand to cut off his head, or at least
put his eyes out, as otherwise so
powerful Il subject would endanger
the throne. The Persian and his
attendant barbarians, ruin every pal
ace they occupy, one OF their favor
ite amusements being to cut the fig
ures out Of the carpets and pictures
Of their apartments. This "Shah"
has probably committed at least q
thousand murders, which together
with his tortures, imprisonmentS,
rapacity and bad government in
every sense, is reason enough for
having his own head cut off, and his
two million dollar jewels, and TWEEN
ty-fve million dollars travelling funds
appropriated toward the relief Of his
subjects, who by the million are lit,
orally starving to death, while all
Europe is encouraging their tyrant
to think he is what he claims to be,
a king of kings
