"mass" of warlike and powerful Indians
that inhabit the country. Nebraska
City also suits them admirably. There
is "a very gradual and beautiful ascent
Immediately above the mouth of the
creek, which in about 45O yards reaches
to an open level sufficient for any build
ings, besides what may be necessary for
the drill of any number of infantry or
dragons" This open level was the
ground from the Morton House to the
Sixth street school, and the drill-ground
was the lower plateau to the southeast,
the present Missouri Pacific yards; long
used for circuses.
Other advantages that struck them
were convenient firewood; stone; build
ing timber across the river "delight-
full" view the best place for ferry to
be found on the Missouri river; fine
prairies around, to make corn and hay
upon; and a beautiful, fertile bottom for
gardens. The only objection they see is
that the place is five or six miles below
where the Missouri state line strikes the
river; fact in regard to the early sur
veys that has not come to my notice
elsewhere. The reason for this being
considered an objection must be that
their road was obliged to keep west of
Missouri.
They "cannot omit this opportunity
to urge in the same report the immediate
making of the military road from Fort
Leavenworth south, to at least the top
of the hill across the Kansas; the
Wakarusa Butte, probably. This was
distinct project from the wild-goose road
of the 1886 bill. It was present need
for the protection of the Santa Fe
caravans, which, going out the south
side of the Kansas from Indepen-
dence, often had need of government
troops from the fort as an escort. A
few years before this, Major Riley,
going out on such an errand, was obliged
to cross the Missouri twice because he
could not get across the Kansas.
The Times.
What was this county like in the year
1888? 1t was the great smallpox year
among the Indians; the first sale of
land on the site of Kansas City was
made the Pawnees celebrated their last
human sacrifice the Mormon troubles
at Far West occurred; Fremont was
doing his first surveying, with Nicollet,
on the Upper Mississippi; the great Jim
Beckwourth had left the Grows for the
Cheyennes; George Catlin was among
the Seminoles; Carson and Bridger were
young men, hunting and trapping;
Wyeth had just given up in Oregon, and
the first missionaries were experiment.
| ing in that remote wilderness.

Che Conservative.

It's true course was not fully known in
1886; Major Long had demonstrated
(unwillingly) in 1920 that it did not, as
had been supposed, rise in the neighbor-
hood of Santa Fe, but it's actual source
was mystery until the year 1862. The
objective point of the proposed military
road is therefore easily explained; but I
do not understand the other end of it,
This was to be "some point upon the
right bank of the Mississippi, between
the mouth of the St. Peters (Minnesota)
and the mouth of the Des Moines river"
This would not have connected with
any settlement or line of travel that I
am acquainted with. There was no
travel across Iowa for upwards of twenty
years after this time. The old French
traders route through Wisconsin to
Prairie du Chen had long been disused.
People reached points on the Missouri
by going down the Ohio river to st.
Louis by steamboat. The further
stipulation of the act "that the said
road shall pass west Of the state of
Missouri and of the territory of Arkan-
sas" is another puzzle, as it would re-
quire the road to form something like
right angle.
The Commission.
have no reason to think that any
portion of this highway was ever built,
but 100000 was appropriated for the
purpose, and one may believe that it was
all expended in some way. S. w.
Kearney and Nathan Boone, colonel and
captain respectively, at that time, of the
First Dragons, were appointed "com-
missioners - I do not know their duties
as such, only that they included "exam-
lining the country near the Missouri
river for the purpose of selecting site
for the advance military post" Their
explorations to this end brought them to
Nebraska City, and on their reaching
Fort Leavenworth, in April, 1888, they
made a report, under date of the 25th,
recommending for the new post "an
eminence near the mouth of Table
Creek"
It is probable that the two Table
Greeks had at this time but one mouth.
That was the condition in 1854, the south
creek running northward close under the
bench, where the distillery buildings
afterwards stood, to join the other. It's
present mouth was contrived some years
later by William E. Hill, to drain the
marshy tract that resulted, and improve
the health of the community. The
"eminence" was the same that we climb
in coming up Main street.
The Location.

the culprtt being Lord Stanley. who. in
advertently passing between the speaker
and the member addressing him. was as
sailed with such shouts of "Orderi' "Or-
deri' that he hastily sat down, alasi on an
immaculate silk hat gracing the bench In
his immediate vicinity.
Granting the indestructibility of tall silk
hats II placed in the hands Of experienced
renovators and duly steamed and reshel-
lacked, IL may be asked what becomes of
all those hats that are not transported to
Australia or Africa, to be proudly donned
by the artless savage. The natives have
continent, swimming out TO incoming
steamers, each man wearing a renovated
silk hat, still wrapped in all the glory OF
the white tissue paper in which it left it's
native Bethnal Green, Whitechapel or Bar
mOndsey, the homes of the renovators. The
answer to this question could be supplied,
perhaps, in bated breath by many-they are
collected. II seems, perhaps. incredible
that any man should care to turn his house
into a museum of shocking bad hats,
but il is done, none the less. as is evil
denced by the startling prices that some
famOus hats attain. such, for instance, as
the sum of $500 in gold paid for the Mex
lean sombrero presented to General Grant
while he was in hat country in 1882. This
now rests in the National Museum at
Washington, where, if we remember right
ly, repOses the headgear worn by President
Lincoln on the night of his assassination in
FOrd'S Theater, and is considered the finest
specimen of its kind eXtant. 1t does not
matter in what state of disrepair the hat
may be in or the material out OF which it
was fashioned; the collector is influenced
in his regard only by the degree of celeb
rity attained by the original wearer and
the uniqueness of his head covering,
When Baron Christian damaged the
headgear of President Loubet at the Au-
teuil race course a fen years ago an enter
prising American collector promptly prof
fered a bid Of 500 (eSO) for the ruined hat,
but only received from the President a
smile and an eVaSlVe reply.

SCENES in THE YAMEN
WHERE THE BODY OF vICEROY Ii
HUNG CHANG Is LYING.
Foreign Ministers Bow Before the
Casket-Li's Two Sons in
Attendance.

PEKING, Nov. 9.-The foreign ministers
this afternoon went in a body, wearing
plain mourning, TO the late Ii Hung
Chang's yamen and presented their con-
dolences. according TO Chinese custom.
Chinese soldiers lined the streets near the
yamen, and the great crowds which
gathered in the streets and about the va
men were perfectly orderly. All the city
officials received the ministers ia the outer
court. The coffin was in a spacious inner
court, temporarily rooted. 1t rested on an
altar behind a screen and had over it a
royal pail, conferred by the Emperor's
command, an honor heretofore bestowed
only or members of the imperial family.
Many Buddhist priests were in attendance.
There were rows Of tables bearing offer
ings Of food. amounting TO several tons,
and piles of paper money. Candles and
incenses were burned about the coffin.
Ii Hung Changes two sons stood near the
casket, attired in sackcloth. Before the
screen was a cushion, where the Chinese
callers made prostrations. The ministers,
however. stepped forward, singly, and
bowed low. The dean of the diplomatic
corps read an address of sympathy, to which
the oldest son of the deceased statesman
replied in Chinese, the younges son inter-
preting his words into English. The scene
about the yamen was animated and pictur-
esque. Hundreds of officials were present
are arriving daily from all parts Of the
DrOyince.

WI Officially Notified.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-Minister WI
Tingfang has received from Picking official
notification Of the death Of Ii Hung Chang.
1t is said at the Chinese legation that Min
lister WI has not been Informed of his
reported relief as Chinese minister at
Washington. AS already stated, the min
lister would not be surprised at such news.
He has been minister at Washington since
1897, and undoubtedly would welcome a
chance to return TO his native land, al
though ii is equally true that he will not
want TO remain there permanently. The
minister states that he has M idea what
post will be assigned TO him if he should
be recalled from Washington. 1t was said
a short time ago that an important post in
the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
awaited him, but now all the posts in that
branch of the government have been filled.
1t is felt here that the appointment of
Wang Weng Shao to take the place of Lii
Hung Chang as the thrones adviser in
China's foreign affairs will be beneficial to
Minister Wu'S interests.
