PUBLIC PLuNpER ELDER.

Public Plumber Elder, the Greenback
nominee for congress, is first of that
class of old wind-broken, worn out and
discarded politicians that purifies and
reforms new party moves, and such as
take advantage of the unsophisticated,
honest masses in their honest desire for
purity.
p. P. Elder was an Indian agent APP
pointed under Lincoln. He had sever
al tribes, and the lands we now reside
upon were then within their territory
He ran the supply business a la Bel
KNAPP. He gave the contract of supply,
and exclusive privilege to trade with the
Indians, to one firm, in consideration of
one third of the net profits. During a
portion of this time he was handling
government cattle and driving them to
Texas. 1t is thus he was enabled to get
his financial start to go into the national
banking business, a banking system that
the Greenbackers so much condemn as
rascally in the extreme. Yet old Public
Plumber Elder is the Greenback nomi-
nee for congress.
If in congress, he would vote for any
public plumber swindle, provided he had
share of the profits, and the more prof
its and the bigger the share the more
satisfactory, taking his Indian agency
stewardship as a criterion. There are
enough old settlers on the Usage Coded
Lands, and among them G reenbackers,
who can give his record in detail suffi-
cient to spot his vote down this way

An INCIDENT OF THE LATE INDIAN
VISIT.

There resides in Wichita a widow lady
by the name of Mrs. A. H. Gibson. She
is of slight stature and very quiet and re-
firing, and with her daughter carries on
the business of milliner and mantau
maker in the store of Huse g. Charlton.
During the late visit of the Indians to
our fair, and as the sons of the forest
were in single file passing along the
street. Cheyenne brave suddenly broke
ranks and rushing into the above estab-
lishment put his arms about Mrs Gibson,
patted her with his hand, and in broken
English gave expression of great Joy and
satisfaction. All the ladies in the store
were, of course, nearly frightened out of
their wits, while the blanketed savage
kept reiterating; "Good squaw !" Heap
good squawp The sequel is not unin-
teresting: Previous to the great Indian
massacre of 1862, Mrs. Gibson, then Mrs.
Southworth, lived alone on the Mime
sofa frontier. One day a squaw came TO
her house and made her understand she
wanted soup, after obtaining which, she
carried IL away in a vessel to the woods.
For several days she came and went reg
ularly on the same eTrand. A few DAYS
before the bloody massacre, in which so
many settlements were wiped out, and
in which so many men, women and
children were ruth1essly butchered, two
or three Indians with two squaws came
20 Mrs. Gibson's and asked for dinner.
After the meal one of them told her
that they must bind her in secrecy, and
they kept strict watch over her for two
weeks, after which two squaws took her
to within a few miles of a fort, forty
miles distant put her down in the road
and told her when dark came TO go in,
which she did, and that no harm should
befall her. OF course she could only
submit. and as she was being carried 10
her destination during the next day saw
the bnrning homes, fleeing settlers, and
scenes that will never be effaced from
her memory. From the squaws she
learned that the soup she had daily
made was for a sick Chief, Monoway,
who recovered, and who had determined
TO save her and hers. When she return
ed to her home the following spring, she
found everything just As she had left il.
Not a COW, or even q chicken was mis-
ing, but everything had been cared for.
fed and protected during the long winter
BY some Indians who had been detailed
for that purpose, and who Immediately
relinqnished everything TO her peaceful
possession. Our hero was one of the
party, and in spite of the time interven-
ing, Immediately recognized her, and
expressed his satisfaction as related. ~

pistols and threats of dire vengeance. In
the midst of the tumult lady in the car
