the United States government TO notice
him. and he was selected as a suitable
man to go to the Wyandotte Indian res
ervation in Kansas to build houses for
the WyandOttes-
After completing his work among the
Wyandotes. Splitlog moved TO the Sen
eca Indian Nation, close by, and built
grist-mill and saw mill there. His cOun-
sci and energies were so highly appreci-
ated by the Senecas that they adopted
him as one OF their tribe and he married
a Seneca woman. A few years later
he became chief OF the Senecas.
When. in 1856. Splitlog conceived the
idea Of building a railroad. he was a
wealthy man. He bought an alleged
rich gold mine and it was with the idea
OF bringing his gold fields in touch with
the large cities that he started his line.
In 1857 thirty-five miles OF railroad had
been put into operation. or under way.
and SplitlOg had put S265.OO0 into his
scheme. But his troubles began to
grow. and finally he was compelled to
sell out. His gold mine proved 3 fall
ure and the old chief lost considerable
of his wealth. In 1890 the road passed
out Of his control. It was pushed
through to the gulf and almost to the
great lakes by the new owners and
proved a paying venture.
SplitlOg had many peculiarities but
was always thoughtful. eonsiderate and
charitable and may be classed as one OF
the most remarkable Of Indians. Upon
Z his death he left over 100000.

GALVESTON.
"And the Rain Descended, and
The Flood Came, And The
Winds Blew,
AND BEAT UPON THAT HOUSE
AND 1T FELL,
And Great Was The Fall Of IT,
Because It Was Built Upon
The Sand.

Galveston, the stricken, contained
a population of 10000 and was class.
ed among the beautiful cities of the
south, famed for her tropical shrub
berry and beautiful homes, the hos
pitality of her people, and the phil
anthropy of her more favored SONS in
contributing large sums for the found
ing of public schools, hospitals, lib
raries, and the identifying and build
ing up of their chosen city.
The city was built upon a sand bar,
washed into existence by the waves
and currents of the gulf from mater
ial contributed by the Brazos, Trinity
and other rivers of Texas. The ISL
and lies east and west along the
marshy coast of the main land of
Texas; is 36 miles long, from one to
three miles wide, two to three miles
from the main land, and at no point
higher than six feet above the mean
level of the gulf. The city proper
was built upon the east end of the
island, and where more thickly popu-
lated was but one and a half miles
wide.
Along the bay shore, or north side
of the island, were three miles of
fine piers and wharves, constructed
during the past ten years, complete
with every modern convenience for
the quick handling of the commodi-
ties sent to great port. They ex-
tended from the east end of the island
for three miles to tie west, along the
entire city front. Among the wharf
improvements were three grain ele-
vators, all constructed during the
past six years, to accommodate the
grain for shipment to Europe from
the middle west states. These eleva-
tors had combined capacity Of
3.250. 600 bushels.
About midway of the wharves was

secured section of land at Hitchcock
30 miles up the main land and drove
two artesian wells, securing an abund-
ance of good, pure water, which was
piped to the city across the bay.
The city was connected to the main
land by three railroad bridges and
the longest wagon bridge in the world,
being two and a half miles in length.
This was to accommodate the truck
farmers upon the main land, who
formerly brought their wares to the
city in schooners and scows.
Twelve years ago the land lying
from the gulf shore to fifty miles in
land was waste bog. 1t was before
the disaster thickly settled with fruit
and truck farms in abundance. Here
was raised the early strawberries and
other small fruits found in. our
market. Acres upon acres were
planted to lie Conte pears, which net
ted steady yearly profit to the
growers. Alvin. 25 miles from the
coast, had within its suburbs the
largest flower farm in America, hav-
ing l60 acres in Cape Jessamines.
which were shipped 70 New York by
water and found ready sale at good
profit. Most of this territory is now
a. it was before the hand of man had
touched it-a quivering bog.
One would naturally think the city
of Galveston would never be rebuilt,
and it probably never will attain its
past population and prestige as q
port Of entry, but it will always be a
city Of some note until its island is
wiped from the map and its harbor
destroyed. 1t is now the only feasible
harbor between the Rio Grande river
and New Orleans, and the vast
acreage of cotton from Texas and
Arkansas must have shipping point
nearer than New Orleans.
Houston, now the largest and most
prosperous city in Texas, is but SO
miles from Galveston and is but so
feet above sea level. 1t is connected
with Galveston bay by Buffalo bayou,
q sluggish stream, though having an
average depth Of IL feet. II could
be made into broad ship canal by
the expenditure Of $l2,O00,0OO by
the government. This no doubt will
eventually be done. when the main
population and shipping interests that
formerly lived and conducted their
business at Galveston will find safer
harbor in storm at Houston than
the quacking sands Of Galveston
Island.

WEST END RACES
Great Deal of Money Changed Hands
 Last Saturday.

There was a series of races at which the West End district last Saturday af- ternoon. lasting until nightfall. Sev- eral of the races were matched, but others were impromptu. Every man in the neighborhood who had a good horse or who thought he had a good horse was there. It sometimes cost him money to think so. The races were run on a quarter mile straight-away track in front of John Daniels place. It is ordinarily a good track, but last Sat urday it was somewhat slow and h5avy with dust. The first race was a quarter mile go between Sam Walkers Nellie and Joe Tompkins' Mamie, for $50 side. The race was easily won by Mamie. A good deal of money was lost and won in side bets.
 The next was a quarter mile race for $50 a side between Walkers King. two year-3ld. and Tompkins' My Boy: won by King. Another interesting event was 290-yard dash by a Buckeye horse and a horse belonging to Lin B. Orme; won by the latter. A race was arranged be- tween the Buckeye horse and Walkers Nellie for $15 a side. Nellie won.
 An important feature of the pro- gramme was a 200-yar3 race between a local horse colloquially known as Old Smoky and a speedy. but eccentric steed called McGinty. The race was easily McGinty's up to the point where he left the track and darted into the sasebrush. He may be still going, for up to the hour of going to press he has not been brought back. Like another McGinty, He must be very wet. for they haven't found him yet" After

 Mir. Greeley enjoyed holiday in the country with the enthusiasm of a boy. All his cares and troubles were left be- hind, locked up, in his desk in the Trib- une office. Mrs. Greeley was different from her noted husband in this re- spect. She brought her cares along with her, among others that of keeping MT. Greeley within bounds. One day she kept at him until he said: All right, mother, whatever you tell me to do the rest of the day, I'll do.'' An hour or two later they were get ting into a row boat for a trip to Iona island, a rural paradise surrounded by the waters of the Hudson. Mrs. Gree ley stepped in first, sat down, and plac- ed her parasol with the handle resting on the seat, and the other end on the bottom of the boat: then, glancing up at MT. Greeley. who was waiting to get into the boat. she called out:

 Mrs. Greeley looked dasgers at him all the way to the island. Horace him. self was in the best of moods, often chuckling softly to himself, as if he had just thought of a good joke. He made matters right when they got back to the Peekskill side by buying Mrs Greeley a new parasol and handing it to her with the banterinS remark
