aUANAH PARkER,s SEVEN WIVES.
Big Chief of the COmanches and
Rich, He Gun Afford the Luxury

Carlisle Letter in Philadelphia Press.
The most celebrated Indian character Of
the Southwest and, perhaps, the wealthiest
Indian in America, is Quanah Parker, head
chief of the Comanches, once the most saw
age and, warlike tribe of the plains, who,
accompanied by his wife, has just ended a
visit to the United States Indian school in
this city, and has now gone to Washington
to see the United States Indian commits
sioner.
In appearance Chief Parker is the acme of
neatness, and is as vain as a turkey cock
that has passed the Christmas holidays
without doing homage to the ak and block
He dresses in civilized garb, but wears his
hair in two long braids, permitting scalp
lock to grow upon. the top Of his head, which,
no doubt. is for the purpose of retaining his
popularity with the Comanche tribe, or is,
perhaps, challenge to some warrior mightier
than he to come and take it.
Parker is Just forty-five years old and is
or very domestic turn Of mind. He lives
in Sc 600 house, and has seven wives and
plenty Of children. Three of the children
are now students of the Carlisle school,
His residence contains twelve well-furnished
rooms, the walls of which are bedecked with
pictures, among them being a fine oil paint
Ing of his mother, who was a white woman.
She was taken captive when a child by the
Comanches on one of their raids in Texas
many years ago, and grew up as a wild In
dian. finally marrying one Of the warriors
of the tribe. D. 3H
"A gentleman recently, while in Oklahoma,
dined at Parkers home, and in speaking of
the occasion, said: is''I was treated with the
utmost hospitality Half of the table was
set in white man fashion and the other half
IN Indian style. The cooking was done by
two or three of the wives. Those of my party
were served with steak, but the Indians
ate jerked beef boiled. Biscuit, molasses
and excellent coffee made up the remainder
OF the repast. 1t was quit amusing to see
high chair, containing a papoose, stand
alongside each Of the seven wives, and each
baby apparently the same age as his little
brothers and sisters.''
Parker's wealth is great and his live stock.
which he numbers by hundreds, comprises
some splendid specimens of well-bred ami
mails. He is great stock fancier and breed
er, and very proud of the success which has
crowned his efforts in his business. At pres

pony to the sleek thoroughbred and the
ponderous draught horse, and his cattle num-

OF this he has 300 acres in an excellent state

A Huge wheeI of Ice

Lewiston Journal.
The wheel of ice below the Lewiston Falls
is the most curious freak in the local history
OF our ever-changng falls. A combination of
winds, water currents and cold has formed
huge circle of ice, almost 200 feet in diame-
ter, as smoothly trimmed and as correct a
circle as though made by art OF man. 1t has
quick water all around 1t, and on Sunday
it moved about on its center, making trip
once In 20 minutes, as nearly as could be es-
timated. The phenomenon on ice has been
visited by many.

the project to build an fndependent
house was discussed. This was an
additional il centive to the elevator peo-
pie to pay high prices, and they con-
tinued to hold the market UP after Con-
nor went back home Still the
PRICE is KEPT UP,
and even now is cent higher, much
of the time, than 1t is at Wadena. where
there are three elevators and two rail-
roads. The projectors Of an independ-
ent house have not been hoodwinked.
neither have they abandoned their
project of building; but, on the con-
trary, have gone ahead with their
organization. They have held several
meetings, and at one Of them, c. w.
Brandborg, Of Henning, was present,
and outlined the plan under which the
farmers houses there and at other
points are operated Then the Farm
ers' Elevator company was organized,
and it was decided that a fiat house
should be built this summer. The cap
ital stock of the company was fixed at
$1,000, divided into 300 shares of S.
each. No stakeholder is allowed to hold
more than five shares, and is only
entitled to one vote whether he owns
one or five shares. The officers of the
company are: William Nobes, presi-
dent; John Hayton, treasurer; William
Mailer, E. Aldrich. E. W. Smith, John
Weeks, Thomas Ward, Henry Hewitt,
John Roth. Frank Freeman, E. Merriam
and Frank Western, directors. Already
over so per cent Of the stock has been
subscribed, and at the next meeting.
which will be held on the 18th inst, it
is probable that a considerable in
crease In the subscriptions will be re-
ported.
There was raised in 1895 in the ter
ritory tributary to Hewitt over 100000
bushels Of wheat On the first 25, 900
bushels that was marketed here the
farmers lost AN average of four cents
q bushel, making their total loss about
$1,000 Then about $4,000 bushels were
sold in other markets, and the pro-
ducers realized fair prices, although
they had to haul it from five to twelve
miles further than their natural mar
ket. After the market was opened up,
through the competition of the in
dependent buyer, there were about 5O,-
900 bushels sold here, and the farmers
realized fair prices on all of it, and
for some received a cent or two above
the legitimate market price. There
still remains in the hands of the farm
ers about $4,000 bushels more than will
be required for this springs seeding.
None of the merchants or farmers
attach any blame for the tying up of
the market to the agent of the elevator
company, for they consider him to be
an honest and straightforward man.
Every one believed him when he said
that he was acting. under instructions
from headquarters, and that he could
neither raise the grade nor advance the

EMBARRASSES KRUGER.
Chamberlain,s Publication of Corre-
spOndence Was Premnture

PRETORIA, Feb. 13- The Stats
Courant publishes the reply of Presi-
dent Kruger to the dispatch of Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain, which was ga
zetted in London on Feb. 7. Mr.. Cham
pertains dispatch proposed to Presi-
dent Kruger certain reforms which he
deemed should be adopted by the
IransVaal government, and invited
President Kruger to London to discuss
the subject. 9
The Stats Courant complains of this
publication of the dispatch as embar-
RAISING to the government, and an
nounces that the government will not
suffer interference with it's internal
affairs. This journal also considers
that the situation has been greatly
aggravated by Mr.. Chamberlain's sug-
geStions.

The governor replied that he did not
exactly approve of killing of horses,
but was saying nothing regarding the
prize ring. Fitzsimmons put several
questions, but the governor lodged
them all and the fighter went back to
his seat, denouncing bulls, bull fight
ers and all who approved of them.

In obedience to custom T
Charles H. Sheldon, Governor Of
South Dakota, do hereby appoint
Friday, the first day of Nav A. D.
1895, as Arbor Day,
The prospect with which on r
people are so greatly cheered fur.
n'shes us with a strong incentive
to put forth every effort IN our
power to make our homes attrac.
tive. We have learned that the
only hlndrance TO the successful
growing of trees IN some OF the
past years has been the absence of
sufficient water. The ground of
our state Is now thoroughly satu-
rated from the melted snow and
the generous rains which have
fallen thus early in the season.
We are therefore encouraged to
hope for a bountiful year and
ought to be stimulated to unusual
effort in carrying out the purposes
for which Arbor Day has been ap.
pointed. Nothing more encour-
ages and develops the nobler SEN
timents of the human soul tina n
the contemplation of the beautiful
IN nature. To cultivated eye, a
treeless prairie is void of attraction
Groves around the homes of the
people change the whole appear
ance of the landscape and furnish
evidence that these homes are the
abiding places of intelligent blu.
man beings with a taste tor the
beautiful.
Let Us all, both old and Young,
vie with each otner IN the planting
of trees and shrubs. in the hope
that they will remain to future
generations as evidences of our
care, not for ourselves alone, but
for our %posteritY. Let adornments
IN this way be added to all our
places that they may, 80 far
as lies in our power, be made at.
tractive.
In testimony whereof, l have
