Had Been Separated for Fifty Years

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Henry Tolliver,
leading colored citizen, living at 141S
Fremont street. Is about to start on a
trip to- Leavenworth, Kas., to visit his
aged father, whom he has not seen
since he was sold on the slave block
over half century ago. at the age OF 8
years. The father Is man Of remarka-
bic age and according to son who re-
Gently visited here has seen 127 sum-

Henry Tolliver. when but boy OF 0.
was sold on a southern auction block
in Davis county, Missouri. This was the
last he saw of his parent. He ran
away from his master about the time
of the outbreak of the war and came
to Des Moines. He enlisted in the Six
teenth United States colored infantry,
served thru the war ard then came
back to Des MoInes and has since lived
here. He is now man Of "a years, and
the story of how he learned again Of
the whereabouts of his father reads
like romance.
A short time ago a colored mana
tramp-came to Mr.. Tollivers"home on
Fremont street. Mrs. Tciliver gave him
something to eat. The visitor asked her
name. Mrs. TollIver told him. He said
he knew an old man of that name living
at Leavenworth and that he was known
as Alfred TolNiver Mrs. Tolliver said
at once that this was tie name of her
husbands father. Mr.. Tolliver was
wording south of the river at this time
Mrs. Tolliver kept the stranger until
her husband returned. and the latter,
after making minute inquiries, was as
sured he had at last discovered the
whereabouts of his father. He wrote
to Leavenworth for confirmation and
received reply that removed all doubt
on the subject.
EARLY this week Mr.. Tolliver was
visited by his brother George, of Leav-
enworth. The two brothers had not met
since 1862 From his brother Mr.. Tolli-
yer learned that his father was IN good
health and was able to walk about. He
has planned to leave for Leavenworth
in a short time and there will doubtless
be q family reunion well worth wit
Messing.
While George Tolliver was here this
week the two brothers called on Cap
tain Amos Brandt at the state house
and told him their remarkable story.
Mr. Henry TolMver had a son in Cap
tain Brandts company of colored troops
IN the Spanish American war.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Seventy mem
bers of the Musquaki Indian tribe from
the Tama reservation passed thru Des
Moines lest evening en- route to Horton,
Kas., where they will attend big
feast and dance to be given by the
kickapoo tribe on the reservation of
the latter. The Indians were in Des
a big crowd at the union depot
The Kickapoo Indians give big feasts
three times a year and invite the In
dams from many reservations to at
tend. 1t is expected that several hun
bred Indians of the various tribes will
congregate there for the event which
will last about three weeks.
The Indians presented motley ar
ray with their gaily colored blankets,
feathers and paraphernalla. Some OF
them were dressed in English fashion,
but the squaws and the older men re-
tanned the aborigine garb.
All were in the height of expectancy
on account of the good things which
await them at Horton, Kas. The Kick
apoos have made elaborate prepara-
tons for the event. There will be
plenty to eat, the old time Indian dance,
etc.
In discussing affairs at Tama, the In
dams showed their usual Indifference.
They said that the crops We're fairly
good except along the banks OF the
river where the rains caused disaster
They had received their semi annual
allowance of s25 few days ago and
used the proceeds to purchase tickets
for the excursion. There We're In
dams Of all ages and sizes In the ag-

formed the bulk of the work, carrying
the smaller children on their backs and

Chief Pa-Di-To-M i-Ya presented q
dismal appearance in the white mans
garb which he wore. He is getting oil
and his shrunken form told of the years
he had witnessed. All the Indians paid
him great respect and awaited the or
ders from him before they would board
the train. One Of them claimed that
there are only 247 Indians on the res
ervation at the present time. They
were pleased with the treatment of the
present agent, as he paid Difference to
the wishes of the chief. Some of the

Indian college, but there was little
about them to indicate their superior

customs. They use the Indian Ian
guage almost exclusively among them.

teen head of cattle on the reservation.
which is four miles square. In naming
the children they retain the old Gus
tom, the father calling in some old
man of the tribe, who gives the child
the name of some illustrious member
who has passed away.
The majority of the party will re-
turn in about twenty days, to which
their excursion tickets limit them, but
few will remain until winter.

People of That City Entertain
ed a Napoleon Of Finance
Unawares
OF CONFIDENCE GAME
Q. S. Carr, Railroad Employe, Said to
Have Borrowed $4,000, Some of
Which He Paid and Much of Which
He Still owes-Business Men Vic
Tins.

Eagle Grove, Ia, August 5.-There
are many people in this town who are
wondering whether or not they have
been entertaining q Napoleon OF FL
nance" the past two years unawares
That they have been the victims of one
of the smoothest CRAFTS and confidence
games ever attempted is q certainty. 1t
is the old story of misplaced confidence.
About four years ago O young man
by the name OF o. S. Carr, was trans
ferred to Eagle Grove and assigned the
post of station agent on the Chicago s.
Northwestern. He did his work faith
fully and accurately. He had no bad
habits, and easily gained the confidence
of the business men and the public in
general. He was soon promoted from
station agent to assistant dispatcher.
Upon securing the promotion he be-
gan his speculations. He began bor-
rowing money from men engaged in
business, representing to them that he
only wanted it for few days for the
purpose of purchasing time checks and
cashing mileage credentials. AT first
he paid back what he borrowed with a
good rate Of interest, from 10 to rs per
cent.
Soon, however, he met reverses, and
could not meet his obligations very
promptly. In case a creditor became
anxious he would pull out a roll Of bills
and pay off the note. Some would de-
mand his personal note for security.
yet many were so convinced with his
arguments that they forgot this little
formality of good business.
1t is estimated that he borrowed So
600 within the last two years. OF that
amount he is still owing about $4,000.
Some Of those numbered among his vic
tins are about 100 of the most "conser-
vative" business men and financiers of
our city. At least two-thirds Of them
are left holding the sack for sums rang
ing from $50 to $1,000.
When the C. & N. w. officials learned
Of his borrowing he was asked to re-
sign.
A. G. Smith, druggist here, whom he
caught for $1,000, preferred charges
against him for obtaining money by
false pretenses, and had him arrested.
The officers located him in Fairbury,
Neb., and he was brought back here on
Sunday.
He was given preliminary hearing
Monday, before Squire Williamson who
bound him over to the grand jury and
placed his bond at $500.
The thing that is interesting his
creditors most of all is what he did
with such large amount of money.

WARNS THE PEOPLE.
w. C. T. U. Gives Warning Against
Endless Claim Scheme.

Endless Claim Scheme.
DUBUQUE. Aug. 5.-The agitation to
prohibit the sale of cigarets to minors
has not abated and various ways have
been suggested to stamp out this evii
pra ctice. as it is called. There has OF
late appeared new reform movement
in this direction under the name OF the
United States Moral Society Of Phila-
delphia. They are doing their work
thru the medium OF an endless chain
system. The following is copy OF
the postal card they send out, many CT
which have been received by Dubuque
women who in turn are sending them
out again.
"a national league is being formed
TO start a cursade against the cigaret
habit The league will cover the en-
tire country. Every lady is asked to
send her name and address to be used
in mammoth petition to congress
asking for national law prohibiting
the sale of cigarets to minors. Will
you send your name and address to the
United States Moral Society Of Phila-
delphia, Penn, also write four other
cards like this to as many ladies. Please
do not fail as the chain will be broken
and the object defeated. No money is
required Please be prompt"
The Women'ss Christian Temperance
Union Herald sees in this endless chain
system an imposition upon the people
and warns the public from movement
in the following paragraph:
"a chain postal card is being cir
culated purporting to start a crusade
against the cigaret habit and claiming
the signatures are to be attached TO
monster petition to be presented to
congress to prevent the sale OF c1garets
to minors. These names are to be USED
by what is termed the United STATES
MAral society of Philadelphia, Penn.
Investigation shows that there is no
such society at the Philadelphia al
dress 1t is fraudulent and the names
will probably be used In the interests
Of the trade. Those receiving such
cards should pay no attention to them
unless it be to investigate for them
selves.
