he directed his attention. He achiev-
ed wonderful success in his deal
ings with the American Indians as
special agent of the United States
government and he came to possess a
wonderful knowledgeT of the red men
and their affairs. He has been con-
stantly in the government service
since 1870, when he received his first
appointment under u. S. Grant, to
whom he was personally known, with
the single exception of during the ad-
ministration of President James A.
Garfield. He was re-appointed agent
by Chester A.. Arthur and was made
special agent or inspector by William
Mckinley, which place he has since
filled with credit to himself and to
the general government. His term
expired over a year ago but he was
kept in the position by the present
administration until several months
after he sought release. The past
several months he has spent quietly
at his home in this city.
Cyrus Beede was born at Sand
witch, Carroll county, New Hamp-
shire, November %, 1928, and was
lseventy-nine years and two months
old at the time of his death. He was
one of a family of two sons and two
daughters born to Stephen and Caro-
line (Dame) Beede, who were promi-
nent in the Society of Friends of the
East. The family is of Scotch and
| English origin and is one of the old
| est in the country. The elder Beede
| was an active man, farmer, banker
and public officer, and the son Cyrus
followed him in activity of mind and
deed. He was educated in the com
mon schools and at Friends board,
ing school, Soon after leaving school
he was successful teacher in New
Hampshire, Massachusetts and New
Jersey. Mr.. Beede came to Iowa in
1852 and served as teacher at Sa'
lem. He came to Oskaloosa in the
following year and purchased the
farm north of the city which place
he retained to the day of his death
The following year he returned to
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and engaged
| in the manufacture of oil cloth. The
factory was destroyed by fire and Mr.
Beede entered mercantile business in
New York City. Here he was again
burned out, and determined to come
west again. After a brief period in
Oskaloosa he entered the banking
business with his friend, r. J. Men
denhall, at Minneapolis, since deceas
ed, and was a resident OF that place
between the years 1856 and 1860, dur
ing which year he was elected presi
dent Of the city council of Minneap
oils. Mr.. Beede returned to Oska
loosa I'm 1860 and entered the bank
ing business with John White. Ht
was one OF the incorporators OF tht
First National bank of Oskaloosa ant
was its first cashier. At later per
iods i'm his career he was interested
lin numerous business firms in th'
city. He was secretary OF the lows
Life Endowment Association. a mem
ber OF the city council, and had |
shoe store and then a grocery bust
. mess, all of which enterprises wer'
J marked by the personality Of the MAJ
! and were always successful

lunder which he served. he came into
national prominence. He entered the
service as chief clerk of the Central
Iagency Immediately following the
transfer of the Indian affairs from the
war department to the interior de
lpartment. He was stationed at Law.
lrence, Kansas, with jurisdiction over
Kansas and Indian Territory In 1876
he was made agent for the govern
ment over the Usage Indians, and
while in that capacity he was as much
a representative for the. Indians as
he was government agent. He car
ried their troubles to Headquarters
and was the means of correcting
many abuses then in vogue. He came
into as great favor among his pro-
teges as did William Penn among the
lnatiyes of the East. MIR. Beede was
made special Indian agent in 1888,
and his duties took him into every
agency in all of the territories,
Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Mon
tana, Idaho, the Dakotas, and even
into Florida. He was again made
special agent by McKinleys admins
tration and here he reached the high
est point of efficiency. His superior
knowledge in all Indian affairs was
much sought after and his counsel
was eagerly followed by those in au-
|thority. His skill in Indian affairs
made Mr.. Beede a most valuable man
to the government and he was consid-
cred the best agent in the special
service. His records and his settle.
.ments today form valuable assets for
the government and he has builded
for himself a lasting monument and
has made his name inseparable from
the history of the west and the great
southwest. 9.-ia 81
Cyrus Beede was married in Oska-'
loosa, July s, 1858, to Miss Martha
Pickrell, a daughter of Williami5P
and Mary Pickrell, both Friends, and
the wedding was according to the spe-
cial rites of Friends. One child,
daughter was born to them, Mary Car
oline, or Name as she was known,
who is now Mrs r. w. Clayton. She
has two daughters, Miss Martha Han.
na and Abbie b. Clayton, who togeth-
er with the widow and a sister, Miss
Abbie d. Beede, of Lynn Massachu-
sets, survive. The sister has been
with the family at the home a num-
Der of weeks.
The deceased was a lifelong
Friend. He was an elder in the
church and a member of the Iowa
Yearly Meeting. He is known among
the Friends OF the country generally |
on account of his reports on Indian |
affairs which have had wide circula
tion among the sect.
Penn college had in Mr.. Beede
great and a true friend, and staunch
He gave of his means, his
time and his strength, that the school
might prosper and be success. He
has been a member of the board of
trustees almost since the organization
of the school and his wisdom and ad-
vice on matters in connection with
the school will be greatly missed.
The man, while at all times quiet,
and outwardly calm,
was possessed OF a wonderful person
ality that attracted many firm friends
both in the home circle and in all
places where he has lived and work
ed. The announcement of his pass
ing causes general regret within an
extended acquaintance.

The rates will be the same as Califor- nia rates to the east. For instance, honey, the rate of which has been 1.10 will be reduced to $1, a change which will widen the market for the valley and at the same time increase the pro- fits of the bee men. There will be a reduction of at least one rate to the coast. That will be on condensed milk. The rate has been 65c. That will be lowered to .55, the Uath rate. This reduction will remove serious handi- cap from an industry which may be expected to become an important one. for there was only one thing needed to make it one and that was an open way to the market.
 The railroad men said that these concessions would have been granted before if they had been specifically asked for and it was with pleasure that they would be granted now. They were however favorably inclined, now that they had seen the, valley. and by the very conservative manner in which the commercial club had gone about presenting the grievances of the com munity.
