AFAMOUS BATTLE-GROUND.

On the banks OF the Tippecanoe. a
small stream which enters the Wa
bash River in Indiana, was fought the
terrific battle of Tippecanoe.
In this great struggle of frontier
times. the allied western Indians un-
der tile chieitainship OF Elskwatawa,
the Prophet were deieatrd in .so-
vember, lsll, hy the Americans I'M
der the command OF Gen. Wa. IL.
Harrison.
1t was desperate, ha-d-foneht
battle, a.d much depended upon the
fesidt.
Had the Indians been successful,
all arriers of defence for the eany
settlers would have been overtlrosn
and ihs. deadly ionahawk w"u.d la ee
been active in the rapid ex:ermina-
t,on If ths remaining lio eers. On
t other land the fortunate ,errnin-
alton oi the contest put an end IN iur
ths-r attempts at open wnriare by the
Indians The rich territory, 80 long
overrun iy hostile eavages, WAS
thrown open for settlement, which
RAPIDLY occurred as soon rs the news
of the great victory became wide
spread.
Naturally great praise was rendered
to the success and intrepid bravery
OF Gen. Harrison and he was honored
in many ways. He afterwards served
as Commander OF the Army of the
North west, and when Indiana was ad-
mitted to statehood, he was selected
to represent the State in the United
States senate. In 1910 he was elected
President and his unfortunate demise
occurred shortly after being inaugu-
rated.
The forty-second anniversary OF the
Battle of Tippecanoe found the gal
liant grand son OF "0ld Tip" leading
his forces to O great political victory
which resulted in the selection OF Gen.
Ben. Harrison as President Of the
United States.
The Harrisons have been hardy
race OF men, sprung from old log
cabin stock, which is a sufficient
guarantee of its genuineness wherever
found. Realizing the truth OF this,
great effort has been made to re-dis-
cover some of the secrets contained
in the old log cabin stock OF useful
articles, and as the result, the famous
Old Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, univer-
sallv regarded as the best Spring
tonic and blood cleanser has been
found. Not satisfied with The world
vide esteem which is held for War
per's Sale Cure, the only cure for
kidney diseases, the proprietor il
willing to do all that is possible to es-
tahlish Warmers Log Cabin Sarsap--
arilla as foremost among household
articles on account Of it's purity and
effectiveness. -,
After all, each individual has, at oil
times, the great battle OF life or death
to fight, and for security attention
must necessarily be given to the BEST
weapons which science can ofier hu-
mapity in the great contest.

Daniel Mccartney was born in West
m ireland County, Pa, September ~,
1917. His father, says the Scientific
American, was of Irish descent and
his acther German.
At an exhibition the audience was
requested to ask what questions they
chose. Az the examination went on
it was soon found that every thing that
has passed before his mind for forty
years was remembered. lie could
tell the day Of the week back for forty
years, and tell it instantly. He could
tell the dates of most important events
from his boyhood. Could give the
state of the weather, forenoon and
afternoon, for forty years without
mistake.
He was complete concordance OF
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1889-06-13

From the London Spectator: II the
United States were small power, her
"original idea Of diplomacy, as the
German Chancellor's penmen call 1t,
might le considered caprice. and
passed over with smile. but her peo-
ple are becoming the greatest nation
in the world 1t is probable that
nothing short of actual violence would
now induce any nation to attack her,
while she could. if she pleased, almost
ruin the commerce of any nation on
the globe. IL IA true, she has
sc sc,rcsly any regular army, her 2o,OOo
men being overworked at home; bn;
if neighboring planet kept no army
il would not be subject to attack.
Her coast, il threatened. would
bristle with torpedoes and new means
of destruction, and her Protec'ionists
would be only too pleased If importa
tion stopped. Her navy, though still
nall, is rapidly Increasing, so rapidly
Ms to be a subject Of special reports to
the maritime powers; and If war were
in immediate prospect, her limitless
command alike of money and men
would son draw fleet together.
Beside, apart altogether from her
existing resources, the growth in the
strength of the Union affects the im-
agination of the European States
There are children alive, who will
see, or at all events may see, the
"Nor,h American Republic with a
population of 200 900, 900 and the
mean. of raising f300, ,000, 900 a year;
and the idea of incurring the enmity Of
such r power is as appalling as the
idea Of fighting Russia would be, say,
by Italy or Spain America could be
met only by confederation OF Europe,
which, without some great change OF
circumstances would be impossible, or
possible only if all Europe felt it too
dangerous to put up with the treat
ment one Power was receiving.
The Union already stands toward
the Spanish and Portuguese'Ameri
States in the relation in which she
may one day stand toward Europe
itself.
Her Foreign Office already claims
something like protectorate over
both Americas, and desires to WELD a
preponderating influence from the st.
Lawrence to Patagonia, forbids any
government to cut the 1sthmus OF
Panama, and warns Europe in Pres
ident's speech, not to meddle with any
State Lying south of US" though it
,nay be 4. 900 miles off.

borough had population Of about 1900. On
the northern bank of the river were third
as many people more living in tenements
built and owned by the Cambria Company.
Further down, below the junction of the two
creeks, along both banks of the Conemaugh
river. were about 4, 600 EN- ployees of the Cam
bria Company and their families. The place
where they lived was called Cambri or Cam
bria City. All these villages and boroughs
made up what is known as the city of Johns
town. The Cambria Company employed about
1000 men in its works and mines. Besides
these were some railroad shops, planning
mills, flour mills, several banks and news
papers Only the men .lpioyed by the Cam
bria Company and their families lived Oh the
flats and made ground The Cambria Com
pany owned all this lan,i, and made it rule
not to sell it but to lc5s. Il. The company
put rows of o-story frame tenements close
together on their land close to the works,
the cheaper class OF tenements in solid blocks
to cheaper their construction. The better
tenements were separate buildings. The tene-
ments rented for from So to SIS month, and
cost possibly, on the average, $500 to build.
They were all of wood, many of them with
out cellars, and were built as cheaply as pos
slble. The timbers were mostly pine light
and intiammable.
In normal times the river is but few hun
dred feet wide. The bottom is stony The
current is SO fast that there is little deposit
along the bank. 1t is navigable at no time,
though in the spring good canoeist might
60 down it if he could steer clear of the rocks
In summer the volume of water diminishes
SO much that boy with pair of rubber
boots on can wade across without getting his
feet wet, and there have been times when a
good jumper could cross the river on the dry
stones. Below Johnstown, after Stony creek
has Joined the Conemaugh creek, the volume
Of water increases, but the Conemaugh
throughout its whole length is nothing but
mountain stream, dry i'll the summer and
roaring in the spring 1t runs down into the
Kiskiminitas river and into the Allegheny
river and then on to Pittsburgh. 1t is over 100
miles from Johnstown to Pittsburgh follow
ing the windings of the river, twice as far as
the straight line
