BLACK HAWK WAR SURVIVOR
Only Living Indian Fighter
of That Day.

William HI. Lee, of SCHOONER, H.,
claims the distinction of being the sole
survivor of the Black Hawk Indian war
of 1882, says the Des Moines Register
and Leader. With the difficulty which
Iowa is experiencing in it's efforts to
find traces of its Mexican war survivors
it is hardly probable that any survivor
of the Indian war IA years earlier will
be found in this state. Mr. Lee is now
in his ninetieth year
The story of his life shows many
hardships. but the pioneers on the from
tier half or three-quarters of CEN
fury ago were Injured to hardships. Lee
was brought west from New York, when
he was three years old. The party made
it's way on two RATS and fiatboat con-
structed of logs. The emigrants took
all of their live stock with them in their
passage down the Allegheny and Ohio
rivers, landing at Shawneetown from
there going to Salem, and finally to Van
dalia, at that time only a small village.
At this place Lee grew to young man
hood 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 correspondent thus: when
the Sac and Fox, or, as it was known.
the Black Hawk, war broke out in 1892
William H. Lee was only 16 years of age,
but he possessed courage equal to the
hardy training he had received in his
Illinois pioneer life. 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 over
land 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 invest
ment. The party was attacked by In
dams on the first trip, but was success
full in defeating the red men. On the
second journey the party lost all their
live stock. The third trip was thor
oughly successful. Returning to his
farm in Illinois, Mr.. Lee has remained
there in active charge until within the
last few years, when he turned the &C
tive management over to other hands.
None of his children is living"
The Black Hawl- war was closely as
ISOLATED with the early history of Iowa
It was near Fort Madison that Black
Hawks followers rendezvoused to take
up the war trail and to cross the Mis-
sissippi; it was across the river from the
very northeastern point of Iowa that
the massacre, hardly to be dignified by
the name of battle, Of Bad AK occurred
and ended the short-lived war; it was to
Iowa that Black Hawk and the few sur
vivors returned when the war was
ended. The Black Hawk war figures
more prominently in Illinois history
than in that of Iowa, but 1t is an impor
tant chapter in the annals of this state

Inevcry country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna never failing safeguard
DIR. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. A recommend recently
received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. b. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio !:
Dear Sir: "T'he young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Iaryngi-
It's and loss of voice. The result OF
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she is entirely cured. "
Sisters of Charity.
The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna
for catarrh of the throat with good re-
suits as the above letter testifies.

AMERICA AS A GREAT FARM
The United States as It Would Be
If Parceled Out According to
Respective Products.

The area of the United States, ex-
elusive of Alaska and our insular pos
sessions, is approximately 5000, 900
square miles. Census returns give about
$4,000 square miles of this as improved
farm" land. An interesting illustration,
says the New York Sun, lies in assuming
segregation of our principal farm prod
ucts within specified areas of familiar
boundary, for the purpose Of seeing our
national farm under such conditions. In
the following arrangement, the areas, if
not absolutely acurate In all cases, are
sufficiently close to give a very good idea
of what our farm would look like if it
were parceled out in such manner
Thus planted, Maine and New Hamp-
shire would be our oat field. Rhode
Island, with about 300 square miles from
eastern Connecticut, would be our to-
bacco plantation. The rest of Connecti-
cut, with Long Island, would be the po-
tato patch. Vermont, Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey and Delaware
w0alld form a vast wheat field. Pennsyl-
vania would be our cotton field. Virginia
and West Virginia would be hay field.
Maryland would be planted in rye,
barley and buckwheat. North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia would be
covered with corn. We might then take
our choice between Texas or combina-
ton of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois and Wisconsin as the
pasture and grazing land and for the
cultivation of minor crops and garden
truck.
With this vast area thus occupied, we
should still be left with nearly three
quarters of our national domain in the
form of unimproved land and forest.
We run the biggest farm in the world,
and we still have an empire left for set
Element and cultivation.

ly no trimming but the rich gray
brim, which, for the wearer's beau
tiful gray hair and dark eyes, made the
very best background possible.
About muffs. They are bigger and
bigger, and take about as much fur as
do the long-tailed capes they accom-
pany. The fiat ones are the approved
style for the larger sort, and they are
ornamented to degree that seems ex-
IRENE; for evening occasions lace is
used in their trimming, and to-day
chenille fringe ornaments muff as we'll
as collar. Chenille ornaments decorate
the furs sometimes in addition to the
border of fringe. For those who do
not like to bother with carrying a
muff. the stores are showing gloves
designed to take the place of the more
or less cumbersome muff. They cost
goodly sum, do these warm gloves, but
they are very durable and really make
the good substitutes they are adver-
tised to. The most luxurious, and at
the same time most convenient, are
those of simplest cut, the ones that do
not have to be fastened or coaxed on.
They come in black, tan and gray un-
dressed kid, and are lined with the
very softest, silkiest of gray fur. They
are extremely pleasant to the touch,
keep the hands clean and are absolute
ly cold-proof. A new glove offered
this year for those that do not favor
as heavy-looking a glove as the fur

plush. The dealers affirm that these
also can be warn in the coolest wealth
er without muff.
A good substitute for the too-Warm
fur hat is that made of long-haired
beaver, and the effect is even better
than in fur. Recently we had brought
to our attention a large black beaver
to be worn with sealskin coat. The
hat was very large and dropping, on
the conventional picture order, but it's
lines were so simple and graceful, the
one plume that constituted the trim
ming, so sweeping and handsome,
there was no suggestion about it of
affected picturesqueness. The furs
and beavers must match the costumes,
and we notice nowadays the people
who already possess handsome furs
are buying their cloths and materials
and hats with reference to the color
of their fur property. A brown beaver
coat looks exceedingly well with a Co.'S
tune of brown broadcloth or wolfe,
brown gloves, a waist of perhaps a
lighter shade than the skirt, and hat
that shows in it's makeup all the
tones used in the toilet.

graphing in these languages. therefore,
about 10000 words are selected, and
figures ranging from one up to 1899
are allotted to each word. Each word
of a message to be transmitted by tele-

given its proper number by the tele-
graph clerk, by means Of dictionary

numbers are then transmitted by the
Morse alphabet, and when received the
message is translated back into the
Chinese or Japanese characters by ref
erence to a corresponding dictionary.
