European vessel came In sight, the
Indians caught sight of the pennant,
with It's forked end darting and moy-
Ing as the forked tongue of the ser
pent. "Tbere" said they, sis the
serpent our old men have been telling
us or"
When the old men first tasted rum,
tears ran down their cheeks. "This, u
they said, 'is what is to destroy our
young men,"
| The serpent and rum seemed TO be
associated ia their minds as in ours.
The Shawnees arrogated to then
selves superiority over the whites,
as well as over the other tribes of
Indians. Rev. James B. Finely, In
his Indian stories, found this to be
the view Of prominent Snawnee:
The Master of Life, who was him
self an IndlaD, made the Shawnees
before any other of the human race,
and they sprang from his brain. He
gave all the knowledge he himself
possessed, and placed them upon the
great island, and all the other red
people are descent from the Shaw
nees. After he made the Shawnees
he made the French and English out
OF his breast, the Dutch out OF his
feet, ana the Long Knives (Ameri-
cans), out Of his hands, All these in
ferier races of men he made white,
and placed them beyond the Sinking
lake 1.-THE Atlantic ocean,. The Shaw
nees for many ages continued 20 be
masters Of the continent, using the
knowledge they had received from the
Great Spirit in such manner as to
be pleasing to him and to secure their
own happiness. La great length Of
time, however, they became corrupt,
and the Master of Life told them that
he would take away from them the
knowledge which they possessed, and
give it to the white people, to be re-
stored when, by return to good prin-
ciples, they would deserve it. Many
ages after that they saw something
white approach ng their shores. At
first they took it for & eat bird, but
they soon found ID to be monstrous
canoe filled with the very people Who
had got the knowledge which belonged
10 the Shawnees. After these white
people had landed, they were not con-
tent with having the knowledge which
belonged to the Shawnees. but they
usurped their laud also. They pre-.
tended, indeed, to have purchased
these lands, but the very goods they
gave for them were more the property
of the Indians than Of the white peo-
10, because the knowledge which en-
abled them to manufacture these
goods actually belonged to the Shaw
nees. But these things will soon have
an end. The Master of Life is about
to restore to the Shawnees their
knowledge and thelI rights, and he

The ShaWnees' ORIGIN.


The Shawnees, a famous tribe OF
Indians, who finally settled in Kan
sas after many wanderings, had a
remarkable legend of their origin. 1t
was handed down by tradition. Joah
Spencer OF Slater, No., recently COL
lected the information on this score,
and the State Historical SocittJ
has published it. His story follows:
record here the Shawnees' own
tradition Of their origin, as told me
by the Rev. Charles Bluej jacket, while
l was serving the tribe as their mis-
sionary in 1850:
Our tradition of the creation and
the antediluvian period agrees in all
essential points with the Mosaic
record, The first real divergence Is
10 connection with the flood. The
tradition gives an account of the
white mans great canoe and of the
saying of white family just about
as the Bible has 1t, but In addition IL
states that an old Indian woman was
also saved, After the flood she lived
In valley, with hill intervening
between her aud her white brother
aud his family, oyer which she could
see the smoke rise from the white
mans wigwam. When the sense of
her loneliness and destItutiOn came
over her she began to weep very Bit
terly. There then appeared HEAVIER
ly messenger and asked her why she
was so sorrowful. She told him that
the Great Spirit had left her white
brother his family, bat she was just
poor old woman alone, and that there
was to be an end OF her people. Then
said the visitor, Remember how the
first man was made" and then left
her. From this she knew that new
creation was meant, so she made
small images or children from the
earth as directed, as the Great Spirit
had made the first man. But then
she saw that they had no life she
again wept. Again her messenger
appeared and iLQuired Jhe cause of
her grief. She said she had made
children from clay, but that they were
only dirt. Then said the visitor,
Remember how the Great Spirit did
when the first man was made" At
hn
into their nostrils and they all be-
came alive. This was the beginning
of the red men. The SbawLecs to
this day venerate the memory of the
one they call their Grandmother as
the'origin Of their race.
According to Bluejacket's tradition,
the Indians In co ming to this conti-
nent crossed a narrow part OF the
ocean far to the north, being carried
across the water on the back OF a
turtle. They wandered in southerly
direction until they reached the
81 uthern part Of what is row the
United States, and from there the
tradition is that they were to go
north, continuing their wanderings
till they should reach the point where
they first landed; then all would be-
some extinct, or, as he expressed it,
call be gone"
Bluejacket also related the follow
fog traditions relative to the comlng
of the white man to their country:
Our old men (meaning the elders
and wise men in the far remote pastl
used to tell our people that great
serpent would come from the seas and
destroy our people. When the first

The KaW'S First Name.


A Kansas City man 10 writing some
history, and he wanted to know h0w
the Ksw river got its name. He ap-
pealed to William E. Connelley OF
Topeka for Information, but Connel-
ley turned it over to George z. More
house Of the same city, an expert on
Indiau history. Mr.. Morehouse set
to wo * aud after a good deal Of re-
search has found that the present.
Kaw river was first known as the
Smoky Hill rlYer. A tributary of the
Kaw is still known as the Smoky Hill.
THAT is absolutely new history"
said Mr.. Morehouse, land it can easily
be proven" A good many bluffs are
along the Kaw river banks, aad from
the haze that often hung over them
the Indians made up the name OF
Smoky Hill, aud so called the stream,
over its entire length, clear to Kansas
City, where 1t joins the Missouri.
When the French came they nosed
that the Kaw Indians lived along the
river, aud from that fact, changed the
name to the Kaw river"

was NOT properly filed Had this sam,

tition and compelled the postmaster
Of the state to circulate Il paid more
attention TO The operandi OF the Law
instead of spending all the time and
space in declaring that the law was
no good but was merely Democratic
scheme to ride into office on. they
would have been better prepared to
have properly drawn and filed a peti-
ton according to the provisions Of
the law.
This crowd has lost before Secretary
Cross, and one would hardly expect
different results They were about
Jas well prepared TO make use Of the
law as a Sioux Indian would be pre-
pared to use gattling gun. The case
goes to the supreme court and no one
doubts that the supreme court will
decide according to law. 1t viii not
be decided to fit the wishes OF any
cne on the present occasion or to help
or to hinder any political party. The
decision Of the court will blaze the way
for future use OF the referendum law
and from present indications 1t is
probable thai the law will be used,
at least that was the intention Of the
trainers OF the constitution.
After the court hands down its de-
cision and after Joe Norris, Judge Bur-
ford, Frank Greer and fellows of that
crowd have given little earnest con-
sideration 10 the merits Of the law
which they have always opposed, they
win no doubt be enabled to make one
