TecuMseH's HEAVENLY ARROW

A few days ago Ben l.. Jones con.
vcrtcd the old fort built In 1906 at Fort
Hawkins into a barn. Although. the
old log structure has stood the storm
Of shot ana shell and has been exposed
to all the varying changes Of weather
since that carly period. not IN un.
sound timber Is to be seen In 1t to-day.
The logs of which 1t Is constructed are
as solid ana sound as they were ut
first. The fort was made OF Georgia

from the torch OF the trcachcrous red

high stone foundation. the floor Of tho
wooden structure extending beyond the
rock walls. Portfolios were made In

During the famous Greek war this

the war was begun between Great

their lands from the whites. He read
In an eastern paper that comet would

BUYS A PIONEER STAGE COACH
Ex.eccrctary Mort0n's Novel Vehicle
for the Trans tion Of Friends.

"A'ccCfctofy MOrtOn'o mover vehicle
for the Transportation Of Friends.
The most famous pioneer stage coach
5n the history Of the west has been
purchased by J. Sterling Morton, who
will use 1t transporting his visitors In
the future from the depot at Nebraska
City to his suburban home, Arbor
Lodge. The coach has been In Kearney.
Neb., for more than u quarter Of
century. 1t Is known rs the "Over.
land" to all the old.timers In the west.
The relic has figured for many years
In public celebrations. 1t was owned
by Mayor Hubert. who sold It to the
sage Of Arbor Lodge. Mr.. Hubert
gives this history Of the famous old
vehicle:
1T Is a COrcord, tcn.passengcr coach
and was first run on the overland
trail. which was about the same route
as that followed by the Union Pacific
to-day. 1t was iirst put into service
In 1862 and run from st. Joseph, Mo-,
10 Kearney, but II has many times
bcen through TO Salt Lake and San
Francisco. After the Union Pacific was
completed In 1860 the coach was sold
10 the Pioneer Stage Company and
used from Red Cloud. via RivertOn.
Republican City. Franklin, Alma and
Orleans to Kearncy. Later 1t was
sold by that company TO Mayor HUI
bert.
The. old coach was always very
fortunate In Its trips, though 1t went
through many close places In the
mountains and plains surrounded by
outlaws and Indians. Old Bob Emery
probably carried 1t through the most
famous battle. II was Just after the
great massacre on the Little Blue, IN
July, 1866. He was taking out the reg
silar overland passenger load and had
Just passed into what was known as
the Devils Gap" which was dry
creek bed with high banks and the
ground plentifully covered with mount
ain pine and sage brush, just the place
the Indians and the fiercer outlaws OF
the section selected for their bloody
work. Suddenly rifles began to crack
from the cover and wild yells told that
the coach had been attacked by band
Of savages. Old Bob turned his six
horses sharply out on the prairie and
race 10: life was on. Forty Indians
came running after the numbering
vehicle, firing as they ran. They were
mot mounted, but were as feet as deer.
The coach contained four women and
six men besides the two guards. From
their position on top OF the coach the
guards fired repeatedly on the Indians
and drove them TO cover Just as the
leader fell with a dozen Of bullets in
aim. The dead horse was quickly cut
from the traces and the stage continued
Its wild rush with four horses. The
indians finally disappeared. Though
one Of the male passengers was killed
and women passenger died Of fright,
1t was thought Old Bob did well 10
Keep the whole outfit from being
Scalpcd. Among the many noted pas
seIgers who have occupied this par.
ticular coach are Brigham Young. Josh
Billings, Artemus Ward, General Grant,
and Kit Carson"
Mr.. Morton will have II repaired anl
treat his eastern friends when they
call to novel experience in staging.

Mighty Good Juiumcnt,

1t Is said that Gen. Skobeletf, on tho
eve of the battle of Plevna, offered To /,
soldier the choice between 100 rubles
and the Cross OF st. George for having
saved his life. Said thc.young soldier;
"The Cross of st. George? What Is II
worth. the Cross OF st. GeOrse" Re.
piled Skobeleff: "My good fellow, II Is
not for the worth of the thing. but for
the honor. that offer 1t to you. The
cross itself Is worth no more than five
rubles." The soldier cllnched matters
by answering: "Well, then I'll have the
Cross of st. George and 95 rubles."

Brynn's Efforts to Keep Before the
Public.

When Mr.. Bryan made his first ap-
pearance in San Francisco James g..
Mcguire thus introduced him: Il take
pleasure in presenting to you the next
president of the United States, William
j. Bryan" We are much inclined to
doubt this prophecy. n democratic
president may succeed Mr.. Mckinley.
That democratic president may be a
free silver man. But we very much
doubt whether it will be Mr.. Bryan.
Ever since his defeat last November
Mr.. Bryan has been keeping himself
in the public eye. He has loeen lee
turing; he has published q book, and
now he is touring the country making
political speeches. He has, of course,
perfect right TO do this, but we ques-
tion it's political wisdom. If Mr.. Bryan
had returned to his home at Lincoln,
Neb., had returned to the practice of
his profession, the law, if he is n law
yer, or resumed writing editorials, If
he is an editor, we think he would have
acted more wisely. He made a good
fight last fall, and he won the admira-
,tion of many who did not believe in
the doctrines he advocated. But even
those who admired him then do not
admire him now. There is a time for
silence, and while the saying, speech
is silvern. silence is golden" might not
suit Mr.. Bryan, still silence would suit
him now. He cannot retain the public
ear for the next four years, and that
is apparently what he is trying to do.
Four years is long time. Many things
will happen in four years. In four
years Mr.. Bryan may die. In four years
the silver question may die. Therefore,
it would be we'll for Mr.. Bryan to say
nothing and saw wood for at least three
years, and then flash upon the country
meteor-like. But he cannot be a meteor
for four years.
If Mr.. Bryan desires to be the next
president we would urge him either to
go away or to be silent. 1t is difficult
for a possible presidential candidate
to make no mistakes in four years. He
may make them even if he is silent, but
he is certain to make them if he talks
as much as Mr.. Bryan does.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

TREASURE HARD TO GET.
Recovery of Copper from the Pcwabic
Is Slow and Dangerous.

Alpena, July 1o.-The work of recov-
ering the copper from the sunken
steamer Pewabic is not progressing as
fast as the wreckers could wish for.
Last week the amount taken up from
the wreck was small, The copper is in
immense masses and is imbedded in
the clay bottoms. Most of the Crap
pies from the diving bell were Broken
in the effort to raise it. AS the masses
are raised they are swung so as to clear
the diving bell. One mass, weighing
several tons, slipped just as it reached
the top of the water and, taking n sheer
as it dropped, missed the diving bell
by about a foot. An effort is being
made to blow up the wreck with dyna-
mite. Giant powder has been used, but
it was not successful.
