encouragement from Calhoun.

The citizens of upper Marion
county who are struggling for a
new county will appreciate the
following kind words from the
Calhoun Advance, published at
st. Mathews, the capital of Cal
houn County:
The people over at Dillon GER
tainly have our sympathy in their
efforts to get new county. Every
trick known to men to thwart the
plans of the new county folks are
Being resorted to by the oppon-
ents.
Some one has truly said, "a
new county fight is enough to try
mems SOULS" and it seems that
that the new countyites are hav-
their souls tried.
We know what it is and can
truly sympathize with them. We
hope they will be successful, be-
cause the pluck and energy dis
played by them assures us that a
new county composed of such men
can't help but stand in the front
ranks of the counties of this state.
For their encouragement we wish
to say that Calhoun's citizens do
not regret the money they spent
in their fight for home rule, and
on every hand can be seen the
beneficial effects of self govern
ment. The improvements to our
public roads alone repay lis and
we have not heard a single regret
expressed by any one of the new
county's supporters, for their part
taken in working for the new
county,"

If man must serve his time at
every trade and his efficiency has
some relation to the time of his
service, then the late secretary of
the Treasury, George Bruce Cor
telyou, should be the best equip
ped executive officer in the United
States, not excepting the Presi-
dent and EX-President. He has
served twenty years under the
Government and in Washington.
He began as a Departmental clerk
and served as secretary under
three presidents, Cleveland, Nc
kinley and Roosevelt, and after
wards held three cabinet portto-
lios, ending with the Secretary
ship of the Treasury, varying his
experience as chairman of the Re-
publican Presidential Campaign
Committee in 1904.

BUFFALO BILL
FROM TRUE TALES OF THE PLAINS
coPYRIoArleoe.s BY wlLLlArn F CODY

+ UP UNE IS, 1869. under General Eu-
"a gene A. Carr. saw us hunting for
III a band Of Indian dog soldiers
@W who were, like the IriShman's
flea. here, there and at times every
where.
! Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
all excited over the drprcdations Of
these rcnegadcs. They had murdered
right and left. had captured several
/ hundred mules and horses and destroy
! ed wagon trains AS we could tell by
! the trail of some Shod animals. What
! intensified our desire to punish or cap
tlrc them was the fact that they had
some white captivcs Mrs. .Alderdicc,
whose husband and children they had
killed. and Mrs. Wcigel, whose hus-
band and family had also been mas
sacred and these two women were
known to be still alive and with them.
At last We got on their trail and had
almost daily skirmishcs, and General
| Carr decided to use some Stratagem
to see if we could not get them in a
tight place He consulted with me,
and after a day of continual skirmish
! ing and night attack he ordered a
Tetrograde movement, which created
a good deal of discussion between the
officers and men at the time. Appar
emily abandoning the pursuit, he re-
| tired as II going back to the fort and
In two or three days, as he surmised,
the Indians were nowhere TO be seen,
having come to the conclusion that
we were disheartened and that they
could with impunity take a little re-
pose themselves. This was exactly
what our willy commander desired, as
he intended to retrace his steps and
catch them sleeping. So, being sure
that there were no Indians in sight,
he packed all the grub possible on the
mules, burned the wagons and i'm
pedimenta and Immediately started to
make forced marches in their direc-
| ton.
AS / had surmised, they were head
ing for Summit Springs, few miles
0outh of the Platte river and among
the sand hills, which formed beau
tiful little oasis, as 1t were, for a
camp ground. Striking their trail by
judging from their daily camp6res, we
made in one day the same distance
that they made in three, but when
near the Springs, as we saw the trail
getting fresher, we covered four Of
their days journeyings, with all their
impedimenta and village outfit, in one
day and landed at the opportune mo-
ment ready for business, while, the enc
my had been thrown OF their guard
and gave us an opening that resulted
SO gloriously that this battle Is recog-
mixed as having been one Of the most
effective in. the early breaking Of the
power Of the.red man on the plains.

writes:

there to the next water. We decided
it was best to keep continuously OF the q
job and as the Indians must make
some stop to rest and eat we could
overlap them. When the horses were
rested, and as we had nothing on hand
to eat to delay us and had had moth
ing since dinner the day before, our
best possibility for a meal was to over
take the Indians, surprise them, whip
them and capture what dried meat
they had. #

me, but I paid no attention to this.

in fancied security, believing that we,
could not be within a days march OF,

Crawling back till I could hoof 1t on

die up, instructions were given, men
were detailed to pay particular atteaL

to the attack on the camp. I estimat-

and there were forty-two Of us. Ten

AMSTERDAM JEWS HAVE
THE FINEST SYNAGOGUE
Visitor Shown Seat Formerly
Occupied by Spinoza

In the midst OF the Jewish quarter
stands the pride of Amsterdam Jews.
the grandest synagogue in the world.
1t is great" in everything, says the
Jewish Chronicle. in Its size. its pro-
portion. its age, its traditions. There
is no synagogue like it anywhere. and.
while II stands there can not be any
thing like il.
The great temple in the Rue de la
Nictorie in Paris may. perhaps. be
larger, the splendid syna gogue in the
nienburgerstrasse in Berlin NAV be
more ornate, but the Portuguese syna-
BoEue IN Amsterdam has a glory all it's
own. Its majestic columns its solid
OAK, It's noble ark, and its lovely win
dows ali speak eloquently of the type
OF Jew that sought the hospitality of
Holland when the cruel and short
sighted policy of the Spain OF those
Gays drove the pioneers OF the COM
munity TO the hardy little northern
country
The history of the congregation is
not. however one unbroken record of
peace and glory. Curiously enough. its
early members. free themselves at last
from persecution. seemed at times to
make up for the persecution thev had
endured by their own internal inter-
communal intolerance. Their treat
ment Of Uriel Acosta is a most painful
chapter In their local history. and their
attitude toward Baruch Spinoza was an
error for which no compensation "a N
gogue is still shown the seat which
Spinoza is supposed to have occupied
but the tradition is probably apocry-
phal.

USE OF CONCRETE
IN PALACES OF ROME
Gave Ancients Proud Position
Among Master Builders

In describing the extent to which
concrete was employed in the construc-
ton of many of their more important
structures by the Romans. a writer
states, in Cement Age, that in all Of
the work he had examined the marks
Of the wood forms are at all times
discernible. and especially is this so in
the corridor of the house of Augustus
on the Palatine, where the grain of
the wood can be clearly seen. These
walls are some q feet above the
ground level and though the construc-
tion OF the forms seems to have been
careiessly done, the result is none the
less interesting. Here is a splendid op-
portunity to see concrete and to lei
surely inspect it from every point of
vantage. Above these concrete founda-
tions rose the palace of Augustus,
formed OF those stupendous walls and
vaults of brick which here. as else
where in Rome. thrust their arches
through the air with such poise and
precision that they are to this day the
admiration of every beholder and gave
TO the Romans their proud position
among the master builders of the
world. The structure of brick above
these concrete walls has succumbed to
the raVages of time and to the hand
of the destroyer, but the concrete re-
mains without a crack or a fracture
that could be discovered by careful
and frequent examination. Its adhe-
sion is perfect, and that there has not
been the slightest disintegration of
even the outside surface is attested
by the fact that the grain of the
wood from the old forms may still
be seen in the concrete. though its
imprint was made over 1000 years ago.
Some recent excavations at the
arch OF Titus have disclosed the fact
that this structure rests entirely upon
a monolithic base of concrete. approx
imateIy 40 feet long, 20 feet wide and
u feet deep. This foundation was
poured into wooden frames exactly as
we should do it now. and when the
concrete had set these wooden forms
were removed.
Directly in front of the ruins of the
temple Of Julius is a large concrete
base in which also the vertical marks
Of the wooden forms can be clearly
seen. The excavations here do not
permit view of this entire structure.
but enough of II appears to give fair
idea of its state of preservation, which
is perfect There is not a crack or
fracture in it. and though located in a
marshy part of the Forum, it shows no
effect from the moisture to which it
has been subject for so many centuries.
