Not little amusement has been
caused by the testimony Of Mr..
Andeew Carnegie, before the Sen
ate Naval Committee in the inves.
tigation az to tho cost of armor
plates for our fighting vessels,
which although given sometime
ago was not made public until this
week. Nr. Carnage had The nerve
to tell the committee that he con-
sidered making the armor for the
government at $500 2 ton a work Of
patriotism. The public is wonder
ing what Mr.. Carnegie calls the
contract he has made with the
Russian government TO furnish the
same kind Of armor for 1900 a ton.
Abuses brought to light by that i'm
vestIgation caused the Senate to
amend the Naval appropriation bill
so as to prohibit the employment Of
naval officers by private contractors
after June 30, 1907. While moth.

McKinley's managers stole a
march on Reed when they captured
that Vermont State Convention,
even if they failed to get everything
they wanted from the Illinois Com
vention. 1t begins to look as
though Quay and Plat had under
taken a task of gigantic proportions
in trying to keep Mckinley from
getting that nomination. Their
latest scheme of uniting all the
opposition to Mckinley on Harri-
son is not at all pleasing to Reed /,
who hates Harrison. One Of Reed s
friends speaking Of this scheme
said eff Plat and Quay can't
beat Mckinley without taking up
Harrison they can't beat HIM at
all. just remember what / say.
IL these men try to stampede the
convention to Harrison, Mckinley
will be nominated, and the man
who will do most to bring 1t about
will be Tom Reed. Reed wants
the nomination himself and next 10
getting it he wants to keep Harri-
son out of it."

the plains where we leftour carts
12O miles Of our journey. After trav-
cling about 80 miles farther, we
came to Woodriver. Here we
found few more dug-outs, and
we had to build bridge over the
water which, however, was narrow,
SO that we cut trees that were
close by and soon accomplished
that task. Here I traded off some
Of my little valuables and purchas-
ed an old shot gun and a little
ammunition and with this addl-
ton to our means of defense we
again started on our journey, and
and travelled one day and came to
the only water, for about ~ miles,
and camped. Here were large
body of Sue Indian warriors, said
to be about GOETHE first band OF
Indians most Of us had seen.
They demanded -four and bacon
from our captain, and we were all,
including the captain, 50 badly
scared that they got what they
asked for, namely; 3 sacks of -four
and one of bacon, and also other
provisions. This was in prairie
country where you could see as
far as the eye could discern, and we
could see great mum bers OF butfa-
loes feeding. Some Of the Indians
mounted their horses and killed
buffalo and brought the meat to
our camp and traded it to our peo-
pie, in small peices, for sugar,
coffee, tobacco and other things.
At night we put on a double
guard and longed for morning to
dawn, as we were filled with fear.
1t was dark night and we dare
not make fires for fear it would
give the In dians a good opportuni-
ty to see us, SO we remained in the
dark and drew our carts closer to-
gether than at other times. Some
went tn bed and when all was per-
fectly still, we were startled by
one of the most unearthly noises
we had ever heard, not far from
our camp. 1t was the Indians.
