ORIGIN
Of Indian Summer Through Which
Season We have. Been Passing.

The origin Of the term Indian sum-
mer has not been definitely determin-
ed. Several explanations have been
offered which refer to Indian tradi-
tions. One of these alludes to their
great god Sowwaniu, who dwelt in
the Southwest, from whence their
most priced winds blew. Another tic-
tion has it that the Indian god Nanah-
bozhoo, who dwells in the North pre-
vlous to falling asleep for the winter,
fills his great pipe and smokes for sew,
eral days, and 1t is smoke arising
FROM his pipe that causes the hazy
weather. Professor Cleveland Able
suggests that some early traveller in
India, who had experienced the dry
hazy weather of the Indian plains
recognized nearly the same kind of
sky in the American Indian summer
and so named IL. Still another sug-
gestion is that 1T may have been some
reference to that season when the
Indians, during the early settlement
of the country, visited the forts and
blockhouses before diving into the
wilderness for the winter, as was
their custom.

SUICIDE RECALLS PARDON.
The Death of James Younger
Ends Career.
Interesting Story Of senator Elkius'
Connection With the Pardon Of
These Noted Companions Of Jessie
and Prank James.

Interesting story OF senator Elk1us'
Connection With the Pardon Of
These Noted Companions Of Jessie
and Frank James.
The suicide Of James Younger a
few days ago recalls the pardon of the
Younger boys who with Jessie and
Frank James made an effort to rob the
the First National bank at Mortified
in 1875.
The Younger brothers who had
been 10 the penitentiary Of Minnesota
since 1877, were pardoned about a
year ago. Senator S. B. Elkins, OF
this State was responsible for their
release.
Senator Elkins' interest in their
pardon brought to light an interesting
story. His life was saved by the
Younger boys, when he was a poor
school teacher in New Mexico.
The story runs that young Elkins
was taken prisoner, along with some
others, by band of outlaws In which
were the Youngers. The prisoners
were ordered shot, Elkins among the
number. Now, the Younger boys
had known young Elkins and had
lived In the same neighborhood with
him. They haG all been boys togeth-
er. So, when the orders were given
to shoot Elkins, the Younger boys in
duced the leader Of the desperate
band to allow them to execute Elkins.
Their request was granted. Apper-
emily, they seemed determined to end
Elkins' care er, but this attitude OF
theirs was assumed but for the pur-
pose OF deluding their comrades and
warding off suspicion.
So, at the time for the execution,
they took young Elkins "to the rear.
That was the custom with the band
when they had an execution to do.
When out of sight Of the band Of out
laws, the Yonngers told Elkins to
fee for his life when they fred their
guns 10 the air He did as they told
him. Ekins fed and was saved and
the Youngers returned to camp and re-
ported that they had done the job.
The sound of their guns having been
heard, there was no suspicion of the
trick they had played. That is the
reason that Senator Elkins always
took an interest 10 the Youngers and
worked SO hard to get them out of the
penitentiary after they had served
many years for bank robbery.

kind OF a fence should be built
around the grounds and also the
proper way to pave the road ways
and walks, and the committee not

the matter was continued until the
next meeting.
George G. Baker, treasurer of the
association, presented proposition
from w. S. Taylor, the popular un
dertaker who purchased the under
taking establishment of Simon Gar
ison, which is certainly very gen
erous offer on the part on Mr.. Tay
lor, and which proposition is set
forth in the following:
TO THE OAK GROVE CEMETERY.
Gentlemen:-I hereby offer to
have built on plot of ground to be
designated by the officers of the said
company for building as shown by
the diagram attached hereto, to be
well constructed aud painted and
finished with floor, windows and
doors and to be nice looking and
neat building, and heat the same
with gas for the use for myself for
storing tools and equipment and to
be used by the Sexton of his tools
and waiting room, and he to carry
the key for the same, and the said
building to be located near the main
entrance SO he can watch the prem
ises in all kinds of weather, and all
that is required of you is to furnish
the ground for the building and
lease the same to me for said build
ing purposes and you are to be at
no expense whatever. / will keep
the building heated and lighted in
the winter at all times so the sexton
can be there to guard the interests
of the Cemetery, all at my expense.
In addition l propose to keep large
tent IL by 26 feet so that if it is a
rainy day the people will be fully
protected and the tent will be plac-
ed over each grave SO that the whole
funeral procession can get under
the same in case of bad weather,
and 1 will erect the tent every time
there is a funeral when the weather
requires it.

at once on your order.
Respectfully submitted,
w. S. Taylor
This offer by Mr.. Taylor is a very
generous one and viii be promptly ac-
cepted by the lot owners. 1t has long
| been needed and all commend Mr..
Taylor not only for his foresight but
his generosity also. The erection and
maintenance OF the building will be a
considerable item of expense aud bis
liberalitv will not be forgotten by
those snterested ia the cemetery. An
