BLACK HAWK WAR SURVIVOR.
He is Now in His Ninetieth Year and
Resides in an Illinois Town.

From the Des Moines Register and Leader
William H. Lee of SCHOONER, H., claims
the distinction of being the sole survivor
of the Black Hawk Indian war of 1892.
With the difficulty which Iowa is experience
ing to find traces of its Mexican war sur
vivors it is hardly probable that any sur
vivor of the Indian war fourteen years
earlier will be found in this state. Mr.. Lee
is now in his ninetieth year.
The story of his life shows many hard
ships, but the pioneers the frontier a
half or three-quarters of a century ago
were Injured to hardships. Mr.. Lee was
brought west from New York when he was
three years old. The party made Its way
on two RATS and a hatboat constructed of
logs. The emigrants took all of their live
stock with them in their passage down the
Allegheny and Ohio rivers land ng at
Shawneetown, from there going to Salem.
and finally to Nandalia, at that time only
small village. Al this place Lee grew to
young manhood under the hard lessons of
frontier life, assisting his father in his
grain treadmill and in saving lumber.
The story of his participation in the
Black Hawk war and subsequent life is
told by a correspondent thus: when the
Sac and Fox, or, as il was known, the
Black Hawk war broke out in 1872 Will
lam II. Lee was only sixteen years of age,
but he possessed courage equal to the
naruy training he had received IN his Hill
nois pioneer He After the close of the
war he made three successful trips to New
Orleans by boat, which in those days was
considered a feat of unusual Importance
each time taking large loads of grain. In
1850 he succumbed to the California gold
fever, making an overland trip to that part
of the country. This trip was followed by
two others. On each of the trips large
numbers of cattle were taken along as an
investment The party was attacked by
Indians the first trip, but was success
ful in defeating the red men. on the sec
ond journey the party lost all their live
stock The third trip was thoroughly sue
cessful. Returning to his farm in Illinois,
Mr.. Lee has remained there in active
charge until within the last few years
when he turned the active management
to other hands. None of his children
is living.
The Black Hawk war was closely assoc
ciated with the early history of Iowa. 1t
was near Fort Madison that Black Hawks
followers rendeZvoused to take up the war
trail and to cross the NJ ssissippi: Ii
across the river from the very northeast
ern point of Iowa that the massacre, hard
ly to be dignified by the name of battle. OF
Bad Axe occurred and ended the short
lived war; it was to Iowa that Black Hawk
and the few survivors returned when the
war was ended. The Black Hawk war fig
ures more prominently in Illinois history
than in that of Iowa. but ii is an important
chapter in the annals of this state.

TALKS ON FUTURE OF HIS RACE.
Booker Washington Greeted by Large
Audience in Chicago.

CHICAGO. April 5.-In work-mainly
work of Industrial character-that will rem
der him useful in the community In which
he lives, will the negro find his chief source
of protection and development according
to Booker T. Wash ngton. who has delivered
an address on Race Building" at Quinn
Chapel.
Mr.. Washington was greeted by a large
audience of white and colored people that
included many of the prominent citizens of
Chicago. The negro educator spoke for
more than two hours. principally on indus
trial education, in which he saw the future
of his race.
His remarks were addressed mainly to
his own people. He frankly recommended
that they consider their weaknesses and not
strive too much for higher education, re-
membering that most of them must live
by their hands.
He saw the best opportunities for the
negro in the south, and advised him to CO.
operate with the white man. with whom he
must live, rather than engage in needless
opposition. The speaker stood firmly for
an equal franchise for both races in the
south and deprecated lynching.
