ROMANCE OF INDIAN PRINCESS
Daughter of Chief Chenowith and the
Wife of an Army Officer.

wire OF an ARMY SHlCeT.
The death OF Mrs. Amos Under
wood and her funeral at Hood River,
which has just been conducted ac-
cording to the rites of the remnant Of
the powerful tribe of Indians that
once swarmed along the banks Of the
Columbia river, has caused old pio-
neers to reveal the fact that her life
was one Of romance and sorrow in
her youth; and also that she was a
great belle in her time and was the
wife of a prominent army officer.
Mrs. Underwood says the Walla
Walla Statesman, was a daughter of
Chief Chenowith, after whom a town
is named on the Washington side Of
the river and who. In company with
six other Indians, was executed at
Cascade Locks for the massacre which
which took place there. in which
twenty-five whites were murdered.
Chenowith and his companions
claimed they were innocent but after
an investigation were deemed guilty
and shot During their trial and ex-
ecution an army officer who was sta
toned at Fort Dalles, saw Chief
Chenowith's daughter Oater to be-
come Mrs. Underwood), and became
enamored Of her and asked her hand
in marriage. 1t is related that she
refused, but was prevailed on finally
to accept him through the influence
of Indians Of her tribe, who thought
that it was a diplomatic move.
They were married and for two
years lived together, but not happily,
as the Indian maiden is said never to
have recovered from her repugnance
to the man who was indirectly re-
spOnsible for her fathers death. At
the end of two years the army officer
was transferred to California and
tried to persuade his wife TO go with
him, but she refused to do so, and
he went to his post of duty. After a
time he returned and made another
plea, to which she was also adamant
and he then went to Alaska, where
he was sent by the government. He
Is said to have returned no more.
Afterward she met Amos Under
wood, who was one of the few white
settlers in this part of the country at
nown. To him she was married, and
several children were born to them
1t was Mrs. Underwoods desire that
she be buried according to the GUS
Spected her wishes.

NEWSPAPERS AND MEN.
Comments and Opinions Stand or Fall
on Their Merit.

1t Is nobody's business who owns or
controls a newspaper, the only excep-
ton that we can now think of being
in the case of an individual who
claims that the newspaper has injured
him. II the paper itself Is not incor-
porated or Is not solvent in this case
the individual who claims to have
sustained damage has a right to know
who inflicted 1t.
But in other cases what does 1t
matter who owns a newspaper. What
a newspaper says, 1t says before all
men. In a free country, such as this
is supposed to be, an opinion is not
important, because 1t is the opinion Of
this man or of that man. It's accept
ance depends on whether 1t is right
or wrong, and Of this each man must
Judge. The character Of a newspaper
must be fixed by its conduct-not by
its ownership. Does 1t uphold the
right and condemn the wrong? II so,
1t is worthy of respect; but even then
its opinion on any subject should not
be accepted unless the judgment Of
the individual considering 1t approves
it. A paper that is generally right is
not always right.
1.-The man who magnifes the ques-
ton Of the ownership of a paper in
suits the people. He presumes that
the people do not think for them
selves, but obey the orders Of one mas
ter or another. What matters 1t to a
self-reliant, a thinking man, who
gives him advice. Does he not decide
for himself whether II Is sound? Is
the advice affected to any extent by
the personality of the man who gives
1t? Certainly not II the man who re-
ceives Ii weighs 1t himself and acts
on his own judgment.
IF a newspaper Is clean II Is fit to
go into the homes Of the people, even
II 1t Is owned by q debaucher. II II
is unclean it Is not fit even IL 1t were
owned by a saint. If a newspaper es-
pouses the right 1t is good influence,
no matter whether the man who owns
1t be good or bad.
IF newspaper works to build up
a community 1t Is friend OF the peo-
pie of that community. II 1t works
to add to the prosperity of all parts
Of the state 1t Is a friend of the peo-
pie Of the state, and he is their enemy
who would seek to impair its useful
ness. Florida Times Union.

CITY JOURNALISM IN THE COUNTRY.
I'm referring to the troubles of the
country editor. William Allen White
tells of the sad case of an editor of a
paper in a small town of Kansas who
saw no reason why the successful
methods of the city man should not

duct of a newspaper in n country
town.
Firmly possessed Of the notion that
celebrity in gathering news was the
chief element of success, this country
editor frequently found that his cor
respondents were not so accurate as
they were speedy in forwarding their
news" Consequently on more than
one occasion it became necessary to
insert in the paper an item something
like this:

reputation as one of the most gentle
manly of beasts. Three Calcutta Wis

in the side of a hill and into 1t they
rushed. When the rain stopped they
came out and found a cheetah sitting
licking the heavy wet off his waist
coat and his paws. 1t was his cave,
but rather than deprive his visitors of
their shelter the polite creature had
sat outside in the driving tempest.
With a friendly NEW and gracefully
wagging his tail, the cheetah bade
adieu to his guests and walked with
dignity into his house.

Representative Victor Murdock Of
the Wichita district, is telling this one
as the latest new story in Kansas:
A farmer hired green Irishman.
One of the first tasks assigned the
new hired hand was to bring into
the COW lot dead or alive a refractory
bull that had broken into the corn
field. The Irishman was given shot
gun and told to shoot the bull II the
animal showed fight Jauntily he went
about his task The farmer stood at
a safe distance to watch developments.
AS soon as the bull saw the Irishman
enter the cornfleld he bolted at him,
believing madly. The Irishman blaz-
ed away with the shot gun and emp
tied the load In the beasts breast. On
rushed the bull, madder than ever.
The Irishman took to his heels with
the bull after him.
What are you doing?" screamed the
farmer at the fleeing Irishman.
I'm bringing him alive, sir" shout

Former Governor Francis Of Mis-
souri,, who was a member Of President
Cleveland's last cabinet, met Vice
President Fairbanks yesterday, says
the Washington Herald.
AT the recent Trans Mississippi
Commercial congress at Kansas City,
said the Missourian to the vice pres
ident, "a friend of mine, an English
man by birth, and who has been a cit
izen Of this country twenty years, told
me how hard 1t was for him to get a
satisfactory footing in either Of the
two great parties. 4 was for Roose-
welt for third term said he, but
Roosevelt passed it on to Root. Root
has passed 1t on to you. You have
passed it on to Bryan. Bryan has
passed 1t on to Hearst. This rapid
shifting has got me all balled up. I
don't know now to what party I be-
long or who is my leader"
Something like a smile fitted across
the grave vice presidential face, and
then the eminent Hoosier strobe to-
ward the senate chamber thoughtfully
plucking at his beard. He turned
around and came back to Governor
Francis.
What did you say was the name Of
your friend. governor" inquired the
vice president, earnestly.

son Bay men. For the first time in a
century the English company is even
ly matched in its rival.
How the French company first gain
ed a footing among the Indian hunt
ers Of the north is a story that will
probably remain untold. 1t Is a story
Of the Individual and single handed
courage of men who, year after year,
went alone into the snow padded for
ests west of the Saskatchewan and
Peace rivers with nothing but the
packs on their backs, and who came
out-in their own words-"broke.' u
The Indians. whom they had outfitted
to hunt for the season, carried their
furs to the Hudson's Bay company
in all likelihood were already in debt
to the company.
From the beginning 1t has been the
custom of the Hudson Bay trader to
build his fur post in a good region,
entrench himself, and let the Indian
hunters radiate from this post to their
distant fields. The French company

They too. have built their fur posts
but their men scour every hunting
field like scouts. 1t Is nothing for a
man of theirs to set out in midwinter
with no companion but his dog-man

backs, the man by packstrap across
his forehead, the dog by ropes hitched
over his back-and blaze his way
