The bodies of water are small. One

They are well-defined lakes or pools,
however covered with a thick coating
of ice clear as crystal and as smooth
as glass, which is so thick and strong
that the exploring party did not hest
tate to ride across on horseback.
Mr. Sage says so far as he is able to
judge the ice on the lakes never melts,
because they are so situated behind
two tall peaks that the suns rays new

make any impression on the snow and
ice. This land of perpetual snow and
ice Is within days ride Of Baker City

discovered.

CLAIBORNE WEBB. and probably tba
only survivor, is Claiborne Webb who
lives near Blue Springs, Mo.
Mr.. Webb is now in his eighty.sev.

James Childs of Independence He
was In service but six months. receiv.
ing injuries in the last and most de.
cisive battle near Lake Okeechobee in
Southern Florida.
OF all Indian wars that in Southern
Florida Is described by the aged veter.
an as being fraught with as hard If
not with greater, difficulties than any
other. Disease, swamps, venomous in.
sects and dangerous reptiles were com.
batted as well as red men. Long
marches were undergone and often
whole companies were for days with
out their ratiOns.
The Seminole war was caused by an
endeavor upon the part of the United
States government to drive all Indians
westward across the Mississippi River.
The Creek tribe as a whole were forced
to terms of submission by General An
drew Jackson in 1914 and were COM
PEELED to yield their lands. But the.
Seminoles, who were members of this.
tribe, escaped into Florida. There,
under the leadership of OSceola, who,
had become trained soldier in the
government ranks, and Sam Jones' an
Americanized Indian, they committed
many depredatiOns upon the pOpula-
ton, destroying both lives and property
and devastating whole sections of thei
country. Several campaigns againstI
Osceola and Jones, all of which proved
futile, were made by Generals Clinch
Call and Jessup. A detachment of 1l2j
men under the command of MajOrl
Dade was surrounded Dec. 2S, 1885,
and all but three privates were killed
This wholesale slaughter aroused the,
United States government to renewed
efforts to put an end to Indian warfareI
in the South.
During the summer Of 1887 COM
mand of 500 men was given to Colonel
Taylor and he was sent against thei
Indians. Many doubted the wisdom of
the campaign. undertaken as 1t wast

noles were put to rout at battle IN
one of the marshes Of the Klsslmmeet

was made during the ensuing winter
which provided for the removal of the'
Indians to tract of land west of the1

A report of the Commissioners Of
Prisons in England which was issued
recently pays particular attention TO
the case OF young offenders between
the ages Of IL and 81. 1t is said that
under the existing law there is ade-
quate provision for those Of a more
tender age, excellent results having
been attained through the present in.

from criminals of this age the profes-

Grated. II is known also TO students
Of human nature that this age is a
particularly plastic age and that the
habit which may lead TO crime or vir-
tue cannot be said TO be fully formed
before the age Of 81" Starting with
these premises the report argues thai
separate treatment is required for the
particular class Of criminals referred
10. Their discipline should be different
from that Of old offenders. and earnest
efforts should be made TO reform them.
Aside from the special care which
should be given them in prison 1t is
necessary that supervision should be
had over them after their discharge,
and that a sufficiently long period Of
time should be prescribed during which
they would be made amenable To
healthy influences. The first of these
needs, it is said. has been supplied by
the benevolent and phllanthropic action

formed themselves into an association
