Rattle of Pease River


 The next great epoch in frontier history was the battle of Pease River where, after the sluggish years of quarter of a century had gone by. Cynthia Ann Parker's form lifts itself above the horizon of :ivilisation from which 1t had long since faded away.
 When the leaves began to fall In 1860, a powerful band of Comanches made a terrible raid through Parker and adjacent counties. Under the leadership of Chief Nooona they spread ruin and disaster along the war trail. Sul Ross, now a captain of the Texas Rangers, with a force Of forty rangers. twenty dragons from the regular army, and seventy citizens out of Palo Pinto county, took the In- dians by complete surprise at their camp near some cedar mountains on the headwaters of Pease river. They were packing their horses preparatory to Assertion of the camp when Sol Ross and his command swept down upon them like a whtrlwind. In less than a half hour he had killed or cap tured everything in sight except Mo- coma, who, with an Indian behind him, broke for the mountains six miles away.
 On a swift pony. the chiefs squaw, with baby in her arms. rode beside him. Ross and kilIiher pursued them like devils. Ross soon came within range and killed the indian riding be- hind Nocona- It proved to be a wo- man hidden by a great buffalo robe. II her fall she unhorsed her chief by her death-grip. A deadly combat was drawn between Sul Ross and the Com anche chieftain. At last a ~hot from his revolver broke the Indians right arm and he could no longer pull the bow string. The ranger then shot him through the body. Walking deliberate ly to a tree. he leaned against 1t and began to sing his death chant the only privilege a red-skin ever begs of a foe Rangers having arrived, Nocona was commanded to surrender. He answer ed with vicious thrust with his lance. A rife ball brought the death-song to an abrupt close. And Nocona's lance shield, culver and war-bonnet, were hung among many trophies In the State Capitol.

prices were lower based upon copious
showers throughout the winter wheat
belt. On the decline, however. substan-
tial buying orders appeared which
turned the market from weak to

The Modern Miller which is consid-

Newspaper Education.

President Woodrow Wilson of Prince
ton says that people who have their
heads buried in the morning paper in
the morning and in the evening paper
in the afternoon have no ideas except
those which the newspapers give
them" That is a compliment which the
newspapers should appreciate. but it is
not subject for regret, as Mr. Wilson
seems to imply.
AS between the man who only reads
the newspapers, but reads them care
fully and thoughtfully and the man
who reads only books with the same
attention, there is little doubt that the
former is far the more useful ana the
more practical citizen.
Living men have to take the world
as it is and to do their duty and
realize their responsibilities must
know the world as it is. They can
learn this only from the newspapers.
Moreover. the men of the strongest
mental powers. of the broadcast in
formation and of the highest learn
ing now write for the newspapers.
Mr.. Wilson himself would be disap-
pointed and the public would lose
much value If his lectures, even when
QelNeTeu TO MS SIuQenJS, W0ere not
fully reported.
The public press. to which he doubt
less subscribes. is just now filled with
matters of the utmost Importance to
every good citizen and every student
of history. The peace congress and
the dedication of the Carnegie insti-
tutes at Pittsburg and New York have
brought from all quarters of the world
men of learning and of action, who arc
giving their best thought to the peo-
pie through the newspapers.
Indeed the man, however, learned
in mere book lore but who does not
read the papers of his city and his
country, is an ignoramus.-Duluth
News Tribune.

MUST WEAR G. A. r.
BRAND TO BE HEROES.

1t looks as though the Lawton exer-
cises at Indianapolis have been spoil
ed whether the president attends or
not. and the spirit that has entered
into their spelling seems both undigni-
fed and ungenerous.
Everybody honors the G.. A. r. for
what it's members and the men 1t
memorializes did at a time when the
nation stood in dire need of the blood
of its sons. 1t Is to be deplored, there
fore, that the organization chooses to
let jealousy and ptque mar the beauty
of the day it claims as its own.
General Lawton was a soldier, too.
True. he fell in recent cause, while
that for which the G. A. r. bled is an
issue of the long dead past. But after
ell is said and done the distinction is
one where a difference does not exist.
General Lawton fell in the service of
his country. So did the heroes whom
the G. A. r. glorifes. And that should
be all that is necessary. There is
enough glory to go around and it is
doubtful if those soldiers who have been
honored year after year on Memorial
day would share the feeling advanced
by their survivors, in disrupting a pro-
gram arranged as tribute to one no less
worthy than they.
Memorial day was established after
the close of the civil war with the pri-
mary object of keeping green the mem
DRY of the patriots who persisted in it's
engagements. But never has a word
OF protest been raised against includ-
ing the soldiers of previous struggles
from the need of loving tribute a
grateful nation pours forth upon the
alter of heroism. Why should those
who fought the more recent battles
be excluded? Even the wearers
of the gray who We're struck down in
the civil war have grown to be includ-
ed in the glorifcation. This would indi-
cate that the victors are generous and
the conclusion therefore traces the
sentiment which has inspired the dis
ruptlon of the Lawton day program. to
personal pique on the part Of a few
disgruntled ones who were not CON
suited by the Lawton committee when
the latter made their plans for the
unwilling.
Ample apologies have been made by
the committee for the omission and
the incident should have closed forth
with But instead OF this, branches of
the G. A. r. have gone on record
through the adoption of resolutions
protesting against the celebration and
against Roosevelts taking part in the
program, and an Individual has in
dustriously collected the data and sent
a transcript to the president, request
ing him to abstain from visiting In
dianapolis for the occasion.
Things have progressed to a stage
where, whatever the presidents an
swer, and whatever the outcome of
these ructions, the sweetness is all
taken out of not only the Lawton ex-
ercises, but of the @. a. r. celebration
itself and the president OF tho United
States has been offered an insult which
speaks III for the hospitality of Indi-
ana.

eeived its first setback when the peo-
pie began to rebel against their inabil-
ity to hold real estate except as ten
ants. They had other grievances
against the Pullman company, all bas-
ed on the working out of what was
supposed to be a benevolent despot-
ism.
But even Pullman, in the most auto
cratic days of its founder and chief
patron. conceded the management of
public utilities to a majority of the
citizens.

directly or Indirectly, it would seem
economic folly to deny that corpora
ton the privilege of exploiting public
utilities.
But If experience counts for any
thing. none of these franchises should
be granted without an express pro-
vision that the municipality may con-
troll the regulation of rates and SER

Next to municipal ownership and
operation, the bulwark of American
cities against corporate aggression is
the continuance of power to regulate
rates and to supervise the details Of

ahead to a time when their city may
become Independent of steel or any
other industry. They may be liberal
as to franchises now. but there is a
day of reckoning ahead Chicago Elk

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 19.-Another dull
and undressing market for stocks
Each day becomes duller and duller
Even the arbitrage brokers. who
tried TO scalp the market between
London and New York were unable to
do business and left the exchange
Opportunities for profit in stock oper-
atoms today were meager in the ex-
IRENE. The range of prices did not ex-
coed one point with a few exceptions
here and there. American Smelters
Union Pacific and the Hill stocks were
the leaders The strength in these
issues dragged the balance Of the mar
Ket up reluctantly from one-half to one
point. There was a dearth Of news
TO influence prices either way. a few
scattered forecasts upon tomorrow's
bank statement stimulated a little
trading. but not enough to change the
stagnant tone which continued up to
the closing hour. Quite few traders
expect the bank statement to be a
favorable one tomorrow. They are in
a measure discOunting it by bidding
stocks up sparingly today in order to
unload them tomorrow.
Earnings for several of the better
class of railroad are showing up well
despite the retrenchment shown in
various lines of business. Baltimore
& Ohio, Canadian Pacific and Missouri
Pacific all show increases in their net
earnings compared with year ago.
The market upon the whole closed
practically unchanged from yesterday.

WITH THE EDITORS
Franchise Feudalism in Model Town

Some surprise is expressed because
the United states Steel corporation
wants ffty-year franchises for all pub
lie utilities in its new model city of
Gary, Ind. There is no occasion for
surprise. The steel trust is building
Gary out of sand heap as a com
mercial proposition. 1t is not concern
ed with philanthropy
1t would really seem Incredible that
the citizens of Gary should deny their
benefactors anything in reason. In
asking blanket franchises that extend
only fifty years the steel trust might
say. with a certain statesman, that it
is amazed at its own moderation"
The steel trust wants franchises
from the people Of Gary enabling it to
control transportation, water. light,
heat and power and telephone utilities
without any vexatious restrictions as
to the rates to be charged. This is
merely carrying out the feudal basis
of model towns in general.
