PIPES OF PEACE.
~hoss tie of Blood-Red stone Msss
 Esteemed by Indians.

Nearly every Indian tribe has some interesting legend connected with the blood-red stone of the Pipestone quar- ries of Minnesota One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux. the braYest of their respec- tive tribes, met in conflict here. They fought all day, from early morn untif set of sun, until the chfeftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made captiveS. Among the captives was the chieftain's daughter Being very brave and fair. she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spells. Refusing, how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away, and that the stone under her feet would be forever tinted with her blood. Catlin, the famed eX
 plorer of Indian country, was the first white man to visit this locality. Att traeted by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1886, in com pany with young English gentleman and his trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held the place in superstitious estimation. and also that it has been the resort of dq5' ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, independent of the fact that it is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents pipe Of 1t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribea have tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that it is thereby part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff ffculty ip approaching it, being stopped by several hundred of them, who or dered us back and threatened Us very
 hard, saying that no white man had ever seen 1t and that none should.

One day while returning home from
this city he came across q man whose
wagon was stuck in the mud In indie
pendence creek bottom. Colonel Eye
at once started ia to help the man pry
out his wagon with a fence rail
While both were working away Eye
became angry and yelled to the man,
lift. you son Of gun; you are not
lifting pound The man picked up
the end gate Of the wagon and split 1t
over Eyes head. laying him up for
three weeks. Eye had his hat Off when
be was struck and was SO bald before
coming 20 Kansas that he was known
as the Bald Eagle OF Maryland.
Eye always carried a pistol and was
always trying to shoot through some
bodvs hat without hitting him. One
day, at the Independence creek ferry.

The most remarkable deed ever
drawn may be seen on the private es-
tate Of a resident OF Worcester in Mas
sacbusetts. It is chiseled on a rock
on what is known as Rattlesnake hin,
situated near the boundary line be-
tween Worcester and Leicester.
Old Solomon Parsons, who was wide
~ known in Worcester county as an
eccentric character, and particularly
as crank on the subject of religion,
paid William G. Hall S125 for parcel
Of land, and directed Ball to convey it
by deed to the Almighty. In order
that the greatest possible publicity
might be given to his disposition Of the
property Parsons had the deed Of
transfer cut into the rock verbatim ct
llteratim.
During his lifetime Parsons Is said
to have made several attempts TO have
the deed recorded. but the register Of
deeds, who was aware Of hts eccen-
tricity, each time put him of with the
explanation that no official record was
required Ia the case Of 4 transfer OF
real estate to the Almighty.
Parsons died intestate several years
ago, and the administrator included
the parcel Of land on Rattiesnake hill
In the Inventory Of the old gentleman's
estate which he filed III the probate
court. A wag Of a lawyer raised the
question Of title, but the Judge decided
In the favor Of the administrator

The marketing committee OF the
various melon associations Of the
valley met number of commission
men from different parts OF the
country in this city Thursday.
There were sixteen associations
represented and the following COM
mission men were in attendance:
l.. NJ. Lyon, Of New York; NJ. Q.
Coggins, OF Pittsbnrg; Nat Wet
eel, OF ST. Louis; T.. ]. Fort, OF
Denver: Asa w. Fish. OF Kansas
City; w. Hunt. OF Dallas, Texas
The conference took place atthe
Harvey House. and owing to the
persistency o. c. l.. Seeley, who
refused to entertain anything but
cash proposition, was very pro-
lunged and tedious affair. The
marketing went into executive ses-
sion about 10 o'clock Tuesday and
did not adjourn until ) O'Clock the
next morning. Seven OF the men,
bers OF the committee were IN
structed not 10 entertain anything
but cash proposition, while nine
were ready for anything reasonable
The cash proposition people re-
fused to bulge from Their position,
and il looked doubtful whether
anything would be accomplished.
While the members OF the commit
tee wrangled among themselves IN
the privacy OF an upstairs room,
The commission men smoked good
cigars and played high five with
each other 10 the Office OF the Har-
sey House. They were not in the
least concerned apparently as TO
the outcome OF the scrap going on
up stairs, evidently being conf
dent that things would come TO a
head eventually in their favor.
The end came yesterday alter
noon and the propositions OF l.. NJ.
Lyou, OF New York, NJ. O.
Coggins, OF Pittsburg, and L. ].
Fort, OF Denver, were accepted by
the committee and will be recon-
mended for approval TO the various
associations. Lyon and Coggins
will have all the territory east OF
the Missouri river including Kan
sas City and Omaha, while all the
business OF the western territory
will be handled by L. I. Fort, OF
Denver.
These commission men will han
die the melon crop on commis
sion basis, receiving IS per cent Of
the gross proceeds and paying all
the expenses OF marketing the crop
exclusive OF freight. They also
agree to guarantee the freight,
relieving the-grower OF all respon
biiity on this score. Lyon and
Coggins agree to give bonds ipihe
sum OF $4,000 to faithfully carry
out the provisions of their con
tract and $4,000 bond will be
furnished by Mr., Fort.

Beers Who LAmeneed the Early Demise 81
Successful Ancestor.
The English have governed in South
Africa for 100 years, driving into the
desert the Dutch who wish to be indie
pendent. But the strange Boer race
which Is not exactly Dutch, but q mix
ture or several races, including almost
as strong an admixture of French HUI
guenot blood as the blood of Holland.
and including also a dash of German
English and Scottish-always comes
uppermost in the affairs of the colon
les.
AT this day the "Afrikanders." or
Dutch-speaking colonials, bear sway
by virtue OF their majority in Cape
Colony itself. An Austrian traveller,
Herr Won Hubner, tells why this is SO:
The Beers love South Africa, and
nave no desire to live anywhere else.
They have taken deep root in the soil.
They have completely adapted them
selves to the climate and conditions of
life. They live to a great age, and
great families of children are born to
them.
Herr Won Hubner visited family of
French Huguenot origin, Hugo by
name, which was in mourning for the
head OF the family. The family had
mostly assembled on account of the old
mans death, and there was a great
crowd.
How many descendants did Herr
Hugo leave?" the visitor asked.
He had 292 in all" was the answer,
but there are only 211 living now"
All children and grandchildren"
And great-grandchildren and great
great-grandchildren.
How did he happen to die?"
THAT is what no one can tell" they
answered, shaking their heads. He
never had sick day In his life, he new
er took to his bed. and he seemed to
drop OF all at once. 1t is a profound
mystery"
But how old was he?" seE1Sr
"Only 93.'s -;
No such English-speaking partri-
archs as this are found. The English
abandon the country as soon as they
can; II they must remain to complete
the making of fortune, or to earn a
livelihood, they send their children
home" to England to be educated.
The Beers Of French origin are
proud OF it. and even call themselves
French sometimes. but they do not
speak word OF the French language.
They are as completely assimiIated to
the Boer nationality as any European
