AN INDIAN LEGEND.
Explanation of the Likeness of a
 Girl On the Face of a Cliff.

Many are the eyes that are turned daily to the picturesque statue that stands hundreds of feet above the busy village of Georgetown, incased, as it were, in a chiselled vault, and placed there in a most mysterious manner. With a silent vigil it looks down upon the busy populace, a sen tinel of noiseless guardianship. Yet how few of the many who look upon the fair picture know of the legend connected herewith, and the sorrow ! ful tale of bygone times that is in Iterwoven by Indian history with it. It was related to a pioneer of George tow;i some thirty odd years ago by an Indian with whom he camped in Middle Park. The Indians story, as near as the frontiersman, who still lives here, could remember it, is as follows:
 There was gathered in the valley where Georgetown now stands in the early part of the century a great meeting of the numerous tribes of Indians of the plains and mountains that had been at war as far back as the oldest chiefs could remember A geI eral desire Dor peace had been shown by the various tribes and the council was for that purpose.
 The plains Indians had elected a powerful chief of the Cheyennes, named Cor-nu-co-ya, while the noun tain tribes had for leader Tu-se- row, noted far and wide for his ex- cellent qualities in settling difficulties. Tr-se-now brought a beautiful daugh- ter with him. whose name was Tah- Xxi. She was the pride of all the mountain tribes, and was known far and wide for her wonderful beauty. For six years the barley la1ed and broke up in a TOW. A battle was fought and won by Cor-nu-co-ya, during which Tu-se-now was killed and the beautiful maiden captured. The dead plains Indians were borne to the plateau at the head of the Leaven- worth canyon and buried. A num- Der of years ago a prospector driv- ing short tunnel in from the banks Of the creek encountered the remains of some of the warriors and numerous arrow points, which gd to verify he tradition.
 After the battle the haiden, re-

FASTER THAN A MILE a MINUTE
Empire State Express Makes Another
Phenomenal Record.

Empire State Express Makes Another
Phenomenal Record.
The Empire State express broke all
records for regular train run the
other day. It travelled from Syracuse
to Buffalo, 149 miles, in 143 minutes,
making no allowance for two-minute
stop at Rochester and the slow ups Incl
dental to the run for water and at
crossings.
Inside Buffalo city limits the train
had to slow up or it might have made
the run little better.
When the train started up Engineer
Edgerton had no thought of trying for
a record. At Syracuse the conductor
said to him: We're % minutes late.
See if you can't make up some of it,"
The express drew out of Syracuse at
1924 o'clock. 1t dashed into the union
depot at Buffalo at 4:47, two minutes
behind its schedule. It had picked up
RI minutes over it's schedule. 1t stood
exactly two minutes in the Rochester
station, having saved ten minutes be-
tween Syracuse and Rochester.
This is the fastest run ever made by
regular train. Engineer Edgerton be-
lieves he made some record-breaking
miles, but as he was not out for record
no one on the train timed the miles as
they were run. The train carried Its
complement of coaches and the regular
engine drew it,

Written in Letters of Blood.

There on that Pennsylvania noun
tain road was written in blood these
facts: Property is above man. The
rights of corporations are paramount.
The rights of individuals are nil.
Combined wealth and its sharers are
the wards of the courts and the law.
Labor, which is the basic valuemaker
that underlies all the possessions of
the one and is entitled to the fullest
protection of the other, has been cast,
as was Ishmael from the tent of his
father, by the aggressions of aggre-
gated capital and its office-holding
servitors. These are the conclusions
the millions OF laboring men will read
from the recent butchery of miners
on that Pennsylvania mountain road.
Other millions of American citizens,
who are on the farms aud i'm the
stores, in the professions and in other
lines of effort, will hear of this slaugh-
ter with horror. They will trace its
causes to their source. The thought
will come to them that the oppression
of the humblest stratum of our social
fabric will lead, step by step, to the
oppression of all the others. They
will reason, if any element In this re-
public can, by oorrupting the foun-
tains of authority, suppress The rights

same organization, was devoted to ar.
ranging means for further aiding the
miners in organizing in Illinois and
West Virginia and looking to the hold
ing of a convention of miners of West
Virginia for the settlement of the diff
ficulties In that state based upon the
action of the Columbus convention.
During the afternoon the auditing
committee reported that they found the
books of the secretary to be correct and
the finances of the federation in
fourishing condition. The report also
showed considerable increase of mem
bership. An appropriation was made
to aid the unions of the state of Utah

the eight-hour law of that state which
will be heard before the United States
supreme court in October. President

present are that this trade will soon be
thoroughly unionized.

About Dakota.

L
return from South Dakota, so many
have asked me "How is Dakota"
that will try and answer all through
the PLAIN DEALER. Dakota is SO
large state and has such varied
climate and soil, that q description of
one county by no means applies to
all. And l can only give my opinion
of McCook county, which is almost
due west of Howard county. l can
imagine no greater pleasure for
farmer than trip at this time of
year through northern Iowa. Mile
after mile of small grain, and, judging
from the small herds of cattle saw,
not near stock enough to consume it..
To those having young stock l would
say, think there is no danger of
cattle being cheaper for two or three
years yet.
West of Spencer they raise more
wheat, but the best wheat l saw in
Iowa was in the Rock River valley in
Iowa, and from Rock Valley to Salem
Dakota, there were almost con-
tinuous fields of small grain, al.
though l found many fine fields of
corn. Salem, McCook county, my
destination, is thriving town of
about one thousands inhabitants and
quite a rail road center, and at about
2 O'Clock p. III. presents a very ami
mated picture, as four passenger
trains meet there. The country is
very much the same as around
Cresco. While was interested in the
town, my trip was more to ascertain
how the farmers were getting along
and was more than pleased with
what they were doing. To give an
idea of their diversified farming,
there were shipped from Salem this
year 100 and thirty cars of live
stock, twenty cars of eggs, and five
cars of butter.
Their corn is fully equal to ours.
They have five separator creameries
in the county that are turning out q
superior quality of butter, sample
which l brought home being pro-
nounced, by expert Judges, very fine.
Their creameries have increased in
milk production fifty per cent in tie
last year. Samples of timothy and
clover l have, fully prove they can
raise tame pasture as we'll as we can.
In stock raising, they are keeping
fully up with US, and the Winneshiek
and Howard county boys lead the
procession. Clint Punteney, nephew
of G.. V. Punteney, of Cresco, has 81
herd of one hundred cattle, besides
one hundred and twenty hogs, aud a
lot of old wheat on hand. Mr.. Emory,
a Bluffton boy, has eighty acres of
the finest corn l have seen this year,
either here or in Dakota. l saw
Philip Roche, who has a thousand
bushels of wheat this year. Also saw
M. G. and Bernard Flemming, who
have one hundred and eighty five
head of cattle, and one hundred head
of hogs, and plenty of corn and small
grain to keep them. 1t is a fact that
no farmer who has been in the stock
and dairy business in McCook county
for five years is ''hard up" Many
who have tried wheat raising have
had hard time of it, although this
year will help them out. Land is
worth ten and twenty dollars per
acre, and to those paying rent in this
part of Iowa. l would say go out and
see the country speak Of, and be.
lieve it will do you good.
