Indian Peace Ernissary Who Knew
~ Only a Hymn ClioFus.B5oil.s
From the Cincinnati Enquirer I'D 90 81
Lieut.. Ord, who was Killed at San
tiago, was the son of Gen Ord, of the
regular army, and wished to adopt the
profession of arms, but was unable to
get an appointment to West Point. He
enlisted in the ranks and won his COM
mission in that way. AS a cavalryman
he had great many adventures, serv-
ing in number of Indian campaigns
1t was when he was a sergeant and
was with Gen. Miles in the campaign
against Geronimo that he was detailed
to carry dispatches from Miles to one
Of the officers commanding a body of
troops that had been stationed miles
away to head off the Indians retreat
The assignment meant that he must
ride miles and miles across the desert
and run chance Of being caught by
Apaches, but he seemed delighted when
he was selected. Just as shutdown came
he mounted his horse and started on
his dangerous mission. On, on, on he
rode until midnight over the seeming
ly endless, arid track Suddenly he
heard what he thought was human
voice; then he thought it was only
the crunching of the sand as his horses
hoofs sank into it. Then he rode on
little further, and still he thought he
could hear the voice. Stopping his
horse, he dismounted and listened
Sure enough it was a voice Working
nearer and nearer he was able to dis
ttnguish the words, and fancy his sur
prise when his ear caught the words
of 20, how / love Jesus" Ord at once
suspected some Apache ruse, and hob
bling his horse, started to crawl toward
the spot where the song came from.
After crawling some distance Ord came
to where he could see that the singer
was an Apache, sitting in the middle
of some cactus bushes For long
time Ord watched him, and all the time
the Indian kept repeating at the top
of his voice, 20, how L love Jesus"
Finally when he became satisfied that
the Indian was alone Ord covered him
with his carbine and rushed at him,
ordering him to surrender. The Apache
threw up both hands and made the
sign of peace, continuing to sing, 80,
how Hove Jesus" sse
The lieutenant took the Indian back
to Gen. Miles camp, where it was
learned through the interpreter that he
had been sent out by one of the Apache
chiefs to say that the Indians were
ready to treat for peace. He was the
only Indian in that party who could
speak a word of English, and all that
he could say was 20, how I love Je-
sus," which he had learned from a mis-
sionary. Hence he was sent out to
meet the white men, and sitting himself
in the desert growled forth the few
words he knew until Ord came along.

RAILWAY NOTES.

The Italian prepaid rates from Italy to the
United States have been slashed by the
steamship conference. in order to break the
competition of the Prince line. which does
not belong to the steamship pool. AS a
result Of this policy. the agents commissions
on tickets have been reduced to 81. The agents
say they think they earn that dollar.

REDUCED TAX RATE.
1t Is Promised This Year to Mime
npolis CftiAens.


MINNEAPOLIS, Aug ia reduced rate
of taxation is promised by the municipal
authorities for this year. They do not pro-
pose to bring the rate down to 20 mills, but
by conservative management and display
Of a little backbone, the levy will be as near
to that figure as it will be to 2 mills, which
was the average levy last year.
None CT the city departments will ask for
any increase, and should they have the
temerity TO do so the demand should not be
granted. Some could get along with less
and among these are the fire department and
waterwCrks department. The assessor can do
effective work with at least S., 600 less as
the work of revaluing real estate and i'm
provements need not be done on such an ex-
tensive scale again. There will be no cleo
t1<s1 next year; and this will save S25, 900, and
there Is no demand from the board Of char
tiles and corrections for another appropriation
fer city hospital. This saves another
S19,O09. As a genera! proposition, the other
city departments, including the boards may
be kept at last years appropriations
The county was allowed 100000 last year
in addition to the regular maintenance. for
the purpose Of paying a large deficiency. 1t
is conceded all around that the court house
is managed in an eXtravagant manner and
the board Of tax levy may give the officials
or Hennep:n short shrift and not only lop
OF the extra 100000, but cut still deeper
Members CT the board of tax levy say that
the rate can be fixed at 234 mills with the
g:H.teSt ease, and this means that they can
go below that figure if they apply themselves
diligently. Still a reduction OF Q mills ia
not to be despised.

Steamship agents In this city have re-
ceived number of inquiries of late con-
corning rates to the Hawaiian islands and
persons who were disappointed with the
Klondike, but who are confident they can
find fortunes In the tropics if net in the
Arctic circle. Steamship and railroad men
are expecting a rush to those islands in thu
near future. The control of those islands
by this country will stimulate business OF
all kinds, and mechanics and tradesmen in
all sections are preparing to emigrats there.
The war between the Spanish and insurgents
will soon be a demand for carpentersF and
mechanics of all classes to rebuild the de-
stroyed cities and plantation mills and con-
struct machinery for the sugar plantations.
Railways will be constructed and will re-
quire workmen and engineers. Miners will
be in demand for the mining enterprises that
