PEACE FORT
Marks 4 Spot on Rock Island
Whore Treaty Was Made vita
Sac and Fox Indians.

At the lower end of Rock Island.
in the Mississippi, was built, in 1916,
q fort which was named after Gen.
Armstrong, then secretary of war.
The Entertainments of the Indians,
and the need for a rallying place for
the white settlers on the banks of the
Mississippi, made the fort a neces-
sify. 1t was built Of hewn logs. and
was strong enough to resist any at
tempt Of the Indians to capture it.
Happily, there nsver arose an occa-
sion to Use the fort for warlikc pur-
poses, and it became but a trading
post. says George H. Daniels Four
Track News.
There was signed here, in 1881, the
treaty by which the Sac and Fox In
dams agreed to remove to the Iowa
side OF the river, and leave the vii
lage on the banks of Rock river,
which they had occupied so long. The.
fort was 400 feet square, and having
access to water, and carrying a large
supply of food, was equipped for a
long siege.
There now remains nothing Of it.
Two cannon pointing down the river
have been the only things to mark
the spot where it stood till two
years ago, when the Daughters Of
tie American Revolution erected a
monument there.

YEARLY HEALTH A
Provisions Of q Novel Measure In.
troduced in Utah Legislature.
Makes . Legal Holiday Of the First
Aonday of October When Every
Building in the state Must BE
Cleaned and Dislnfectsd.

Health day" is the name of q new
,egal holiday created by a bill intro
duced in the Utah legislature. By it's
provisions the first Monday in October
is to be the signal for a general clean
ing up. On this day every person in
the state must clean and disinfect
thoroughly dwelling houses, stores,
theaters, public halls of all kinds, and,
in fact, every building fr%equented by
people.
City councils, town boards and
commissioners are instructed to en-
force the law, and there is a penalty
OF $50 for failure on the part of any
person to clean up and disinfect as pro-
vided. 1t is made the duty of the state
BOARD of health to prescribe the dis
ln1ectants to be used. and the local
uthor1tles must make inspections and
prosecute any person who fails to
make a thorough job of it.
The sponsor for the measur is
representative William f. White, a
former Colorado man. The bill has
met with considerable favor among
the legislators and it is said to stand
a good show of becoming u law.
Il believe such a as this will
be a great help toward preventing
oisease,' declared Representative
white. ut will also educate the people
along sanitary lines."

HEAD DEADLY WEAPON.
10 Declared By . West vlpwtnlA
J0Age In . case OF Assault
0Ad Battery.

According to a ruling in the circuit
court at WEIGH, Mcdowell county, w.
Va, a Negroes head is considered "a
dangerous and deadly weapon" says a
report from that section. Frank Mar
tin brought suit for $4,000 against
James Knox, a prominent attorney at
WEIGH, for damages sustained by being
pounded with n pair of steel knucks.
Martin is q colored mar and has a head
of abnormal proportions. The trsti-
mony in the case was that Martin be-
came incensed at the attorney. while
the latter was in his place Of business,
and that the negro bowed low and
started to "butt" the attorney out Of
his shop.
The attorney swors on the stand that
he regarded the negro's head asa dan
gerous and deadly weapon" and that
to defend himself and probably save his
life he dealt him a few blows with steel
knucks. Evidence was adduced which
went to show that Martin had at differ
ent times "butted" people out of his
shop. The Judge gave a verdict in
favor of the defendant, ruling that un-
der the circumstances he regarded the
negroes head as a dangerous and dead
ly weapon" and that the attorney act
ed in self-defense.

ABOUT THE RED-HEADED GIRL
Her Darker Sisters Canuot
Claim Possession.

A champion of the r%ed-headed girl
has come to the front. Not that the
girl in question is greatly in need of a
champion. In nine cases out of ten she
is abundantly able to care for herself
without assistance from any source,
says the Chicago Chronicle. But this
advice of "the girl with the auburn
hair defes the world to dispute the
truth of these five propositions:
The red-headed girl can
l. Detect the odor of a previous high
bah further, quicker and with more
unerring instinct than any other being
on earth.
2. Nail a lie and bore deeper holes
with her penetrating eye in so doing
than any other thing that has eyes.
3. Make any he ass of a liar look like
30 cents quicker and with less effort
than any other living thing.
4. Break a mans morning nap and
hustle him to build the fire in the range
quicker, surer and with less back talk
than any other style of womankind.
5. She is the only known species who
can throw a missile with accurate aim
and who does not endanger the lives of
innocent bystanders.

NAPOLEON AMONG ANIMALS.
Commander of 10000 Men Who Daily
Put to Death Thousands OF
Food Animals.

Imagine a procession Of 10000 cat
tie, rArching two by two, in a line
IS miles long; let 10000 sheep follow
them. bleating along ~ miles of
road: after them drive 16 miles of
hogs, $4,000 strong; then let 80, 900
fowls bring up the rear, clucking and
~quacking and gobbling, over a space
OF six miles; and in this whole cara
van. stretching for nearly so miles
and requiring two days 20 pass a
given point. you will see the animals
devoted to death in the packing
houses OF Swift & Co. in u single dav,
says the Cosmopolitan. Surely a
Buddhist would think that the head
OF that establishment had much to
answer for. Never before in the
worlds history was a massacre of
the innocents organized on such a
stupendous scale or with such scien-
titic system.
The commander of the army of TO-
600 e engaged in this work earned
his first penny picking cranberries
in a swamp or Cape Cod more than
so years GO. 1t was at Sycamore.
on that historic peninsula, that a son
was born to the house of Swift on
Jun "a, 1899, and named Gustavus
franklin. a few years later, when
the boy was not picking cranberries,
he drove hogs along the cape. 1t
was like Napoleon exercising his in
FAINT armies at school.

THE NEW TOMATO TREE.
Sin11lAR Specimen That Has Been
PDoDA9ated from The Vaes
M Bears Fruit.

If one would be considered quito
sane one should not discuss the tree
tomato ven yet. Otherwise one is
likely to be reasoned with gently,
and informed that tomatoes grow on
vines instead of trees. says the Phil
adelphia Record.
All this to the contrary notwith-
standing, there really is q tree toma-
to. Such q tree is grown by Mrs. shep-
herd. at Ventura, Cal. She has
grown it several years, and feels that
it has a great future as a fruit for
shipping. 1t comes into bearing along
during the holidays. when fruits are
scarce, and ships long distances per-
fectly. Some say it is practically
hardy in California. This tree, how
ever, grows under glass.
As to the fruit, there seems to be
no understanding. Some call this rich,
tomato-tinted production fruit; 9TH
ers tomato, which is equivalent to a
vegetable. AS to f~avors, it is said
to be a cross between the tomato and
the plum. and is equally delicious as
q salad or q dessert. Experts think
the day is not far off when it will be
extensively grown. One good speci-
men. and about the easiest to get at
here in the east, is the one in the
Bronx botanical collection in New
York. For some time past this tree
has hung full Of these rosy, plum
shaped fruits, or vegetables, which
