Major Wright Speaks.

Maj R. R. Wright was next introduced
 He said: sThe man who cannot see in all the progress made by the negroes in this country since the mancipation hope for the race, l think, is very blind in- deed America spells opportunity for the negro. I am told that the old posts and landmarks of Penn and Lord Baltimore, known as the Mason and Dixon line, which represented the division line be- tween freedom and slavery, have of late been put to better purposes. It has been discovered that they are used as corner stones for churches and school houses. Thus the old landmarks of slavery are being used as foundation stones for the erection of those institutes of Christian civiligation of the day. There is now practically an open door for all men. But the negro must remember that he cannot enter this open door upon any other terms than those on which other nations enter them. The negro must pay the same price which other nations pay. He

BETWEEN TWO RIVERS.
In Memory Of a Noble, Hero
Of the Early Days.
An Account of the Floyd Mon
ument, Its Erection, and the
History of Serg. Floyd.
BY ALIEN. MILLER.
Copyrighted, 1902, by Alex. Miller.

The earliest recollection I have of
anyone connected with the Lewis and
CLARK expedition is from Wilson's
thlrd reader, which was published
some twenty-five or thirty years ago,
While it may be in use today in some
localities in the United States. have
not seen one except the one 1 used in
school, in many years.
had no idea whether Lewis and
Clark's expedition was a raid on
somebody's hen roost Or whether it
was undertaken merely as a sort OF
pleasure excursion Or whether it was
merely an expedition of some BOYS
who were playing hockey from school.
That was as familiar as l was at that
time with expeditions, and I appre-
hend that many who read this will re-
call very wildly some of the things
they read in school and have wonder
ed ever since what on earth they
meant School readers are not usu-
ally very perspicacious. They are not
that, even ii l am not sure what the
word means 1t sounds we'll, and I'll
risk it anyway.
The Lewis and Clark expedition we
read about in the reader concerned a.
party of hunters who went out and
encountered grizzly bear. They
found bigger game than they had yet
encountered, and they had to shoot

Underneath is this historic inscription:
''This shaft marks the burial place Of
Sergeant Charles Floyd, member of
the Lewis and Clark expedition. He
died in his country's service and was
buried near this spot August 20, 1904.
Graves of such men are pilgrim
shrines; shrlnes to no class or creed

Erected A. D. 1900 by the Floyd
Memorial Association, aided by the
q. S. Government and the State of
Iowa"
I said the credit does not belong
to any one man. I saw many who
said they really did not wish to boast
but they had just little more to do
with it than anyone else. That if
it had not been for them the work
would have Jagged, and if they had not
kept pounding away it would have
died out, and all that sort Of thing,
but in reality many people Of Sioux
City and many Of Iowa, and some from
the United States, are entitled to cred
it. It is a creditable piece of work
and of wonderful historical value.
The man who gave me much infor-
nation Is John 81. Charles, am aged
retired man Of Sioux City, and one of
the pioneers. He came to Sioux City

monument would never have become
an actually. If they had not work
ed together in harmony it is doubtful
if ever it would have been erected.
And after all, while the State of Iowa
owes a debt Of gratitude to those
hardy pioneers of whom Floyd was
member, the entire West is Indebted
to them.
Out of the territory purchased of
Napoleon have been carved Louis
lana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Kan.
sas, Nebraska, Minnesota, a part Of
Colorado, North Dakota and South
Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.
Almost any one of the States is big
ger than France, or than England,
Scotland and Wales.
It may be said that the Lewis and
Clark expedition accomplished only
what thousands Of other men would
have done. So be it. The same
was said of Columbus, although no.
body had thought to try it till after
Columbus made the initial voyage.
For years after this expedition had
been a completed fact there were no
settlers to come to the West.
Washington Irving did not make his
Famous Tour Of the Prairies" till
1882, and the country was just as wild
then as it had been a third of a cen
fury before. Add another third Of
century and the greater part of the
West, especially that portion west Of
the Missouri, was still a wilderness
Even Iowa still had plenty Of Indians
fifty years after the death of
Floyd, and the Spirit Lake massacre
occurred ffty-three years after the
death Of Floyd. So, after all, we are
still a young State, yet Iowa is a glo-
rious State, and the elimination Of
the work of the Floyd Monument AS
ISOLATION is not one of the least of
the States achievements. May the
sleep Of the hero Floyd be undisturbed
more by friend or foe till the sound
Of the last trumpet To him will it be
said: 'Well done, good and faithful
servant" Future generations will
bless the memory of Floyd and of the
old settlers who wrought so well in
the monument to our early history.

or give UP the gun. They shot, but
shot inefectively part Of the time.
Bruln made dash for them and sew
eral of the men got into a canoe and
got away, and the others hid among
the bushes and kept shooting at inter
walls, Which did not kill the bear, but
made it pursue them all the more vi
ciously. Presently when they We're
pressed too hard for time they made
a run and jumped into the water.
They swan ashore while some of their
companions kept shooting at the grlz-
ely, who finally became discouraged
and Lay down to die.
The picture in the reader shows that
there was much snow on the ground.
The men on the bank wore heavy
hunting shirts. Those in the water
struggling for the shore-it is impos-
sible to see what they wore. And yet
the men are swimming to the opposite
bank Of the river while the men last
out Of danger make a jump of twenty
feet to the ice below and land in ten
or twenty feet Of water. All Of which
is remarkable feat and entitled to
commenlDration by the erection of
monument. The picture in the school
reader also Indicates that those men
were too wise or did not like the new
style of overcoat known as the rag
Jan, but they wore hunting shirts like
all hunters and explorers do in novels
and in school readers. No matter
what he weather, they have to wear
hunting shirts I protest and claim
it is uncomfortable, but it is too late.
They will have to do the best they can,
and if they are put down as swim
ming ice-bound rivers or wearing hunt
ing shirts in July there is no escape
from it,
But will let them wear their hunt
ing shirts In summer if they insist on
doing it. If they hunt bears in that
kind Of garb no wonder they were
chased to cover.
Yet this school reader never had
word about one Of the real heroes of
the expedition. 1t makes no mention
Of Sergeant Charles Floyd, who is as
much a hero as Fred Funston, who
swan the Bagbag, or the bear hunt
ers who swan the river in midwinter
when the ice was foot thick.
AS is well known the Lewis and
Clark expedition was sent out by
President Jefferson for the purpose of
exploring all that vast empire lying
west of the Mississippi and recently
purchased Of France. Napoleon was
carrying on his tremendous wars and,
running short Of funds, he had to sell
some land and in his extremity was
Jefferson's opportunity. If Napoleon
had not warred with all Europe he
would not have been obliged to sell
Louisiana, and if Louisiana had not
been bought there would have been
no Lewis and Clark expedition, there
fore no Sergeant Floyd and the mon
ument which has engaged the atten-
tlon Of the State Of Iowa, of Congress
and of Sioux City in particular for
several years.
The Lewis and Clark expedition fol
lowed the Missouri River as far as
possible and on it's journey passed the
present site Of Sioux City. In Au-
gust, 1903, they camped on the east
side Of the river as they always went
ashore for the night. On this partic-
ular occasion Sergeant Charles Floyd
took sick, as the diary Of the expedi-
ton says, with "Biliose Chorlick."
We should think 1T was enough to kill

To have poor Wilhelmina go.

admission-10 cents. These acts are in
tended to give the public, in the language
of the street, run for it's money. The
four performances are the aerial cycle
whirl. the diving horses, the English Zou-

Dan Canary, who is noted trick BIZ

ihree-act cycle scare. He combines three
daring bicycle acts in one performance. In

is accomplished by spiral pathway only
eighteen inches wide, which he rides up.

Field will be the evolutions of the famous
English Zouaves. This company has given
exhibitions all over the country and has
won a number of competitive drills, where
1t met some of the most famous companies
now in existence Captain Fox has special
ly drilled the men for their work at Fes-

which zouaves alone seem capable. The
company is composed of fifty members. and
has many engagements that it is in con-

performances of the. diving horses, King

beautiful one.
In addition to the free band concerts
at Festival Field, is the Temple of Music,
which combines mechanical and human
effort in concert. The Willards have de-
vised a novel instrument in their giant
orchestrion and their programme daily will
be practically continuous from the opening
of the festival until its close This feature
of the free attraction is an intelligent one
and its programmes include all grades of
music, from popular rag-time to the most
classical compositions.

are: -
