The Voting Contest.
The feature of the fair was the vot-

attending the Agency high school. The
contest was spirited and close and
who was the winner could not be de-
termined until the last few votes were
polled. Ballot boxes were arranged in
various parts Of the room and one
vote was given for each one cent pur-
chase. Friends of the various contest
ants were determined that their
friend should win, and as a result sew
eral thousand votes were polled. At
the close of the contest and after
counting the votes, Miss Agnes Shank,
a senior, was declared the winner.
with $3.50 votes, and was awarded a
pretty high school sofa pillow as a
prize. Miss Blanche Miller, junior,
ran a close second with $500 votes.
Other candidates also polled a heavy
vote.

were in winter camp near the
trading post of ST. Louis.
By this compact the Sacs were to give
up the Rock River valley in Illinois.
AS soon as the agreement became
noised abroad among all the Sacs
there was strong opposition, particu-
larly to the form in which it had been
made.
Throughout the affair Keolull as
sumed SO passive an attitude that he
lost at once his political prestige.
Those of the Sac nation who favored
an appeal to arms then turned to a
famous warrior of the Thunder clan,
known to the whites as Black Hawk,
and he became their leader. Just at
this critical period the feeble bond Of
political union between the Sacs and
Foxes was broken. This was due large
ly to internal discussions brought on
by the intrigues of Keokul1, who, with
following of unpatriotic Sacs,
sought and obtained protection from
/, tho Foxes under their chief Pave
shik The fighting began before
Black Hawk was ready, and he was
! forced to take the field with but a
small number of those on whose sup
port he depended. With his depleted
J forces he could not successfully con-
tend against the Illinois militia and
their Indian allies.
| Keokuk loomed as diplomat dur
ing the final negotiations growing out
of the war, and played so deftly into
the hands of the government officials
that he was made chief of the Sacs.
1t is said that the announcement of
his elevation to the supreme power,
made in open council, SO aroused the
anger and contempt of Black Hawk
that he whipped off his clout and
slapped Keokuk across the face with
it. The act of creating Keokuk chief
of the Sacs mas always been regarded
with ridicule by both the Saos and the

The editor of 1.-The Annals of Iowa"
writing in January, 1897, says: WA
pello was short in stature, but stoutly
built. Every account that has come
down to us in regard to him is to the
effect that he was kindly in his nature
and disposed to be at peace with the
whites. Whether this arose from his
own personal qualifications-an in
born amiability- or from the fact that
he saw the handwriting on the wall,
and knew how futile it would be to
contend against the tide of settlement
which was sweeping his people from
the face of the earth, We need not stop
to inquire. The impression we derive
from the scanty information now ac-
cesslble is that he possessed most
kindly disposition and was endowed
with considerable natural ability. He
was next in rank and consequence after
Keol1uk. He went to New York, Boston
and Washington with Keokuk and 9th
ers of his tribe, in 1887. While in Bos-
ton he replied to speech of the elo-
quent Governor Edward Everett, in
the state house, expressing friendly
sentiments toward the white man. The
record says that his remarks were re-
ceived with applause

monument has been erected over his

of the Fox tribe and was born on Rock
River, Illinois, about 1880. He was not
chief by birth, but rose to the com
mand Of his people through his super
ior ability, force of character and ora
torical power. His mother is said to
have been half French.
Keokuk was continually involved in
intrigue. Standing always in the back

among his people. But the situation

for many years agent of the Sacs and
Foxes and other tribes in the north
| west. General Street was one of the
most influential of all the early
pioneers of Iowa among the aborigines.
He entered the service in 1927 with
| an appointment from John Quincy
| Adams, upon the recommendation of
| Henry Clay, in whose office he had
studied law, and remained until his
| death in 1910 at the Sac and Fox
! agency near the present city of OF
tumwa. At his funeral Keokuk and
other chiefs made speeches in which
they eulogized him In terms that would
| have done honor to the greatest Of
| land to his widow, including the spot
| where his body lay, and a half sec
| ton to- each of his twelve children.
| Keokuk said that this had been
promised in the name of the whole
tribe, and If but one Indian was left
when the land was sold that one would
see that the promise was faithfully
kept
General Street. I believe, was the
| first man to advocate the allotment of
Indian lands in severalty and to recon-
mend an act of congress to make
Indians citizens of the United States.
He exercised an extraordinary in
fluence over all the Indians with whom
he came in contact. He was the friend
of Black Hawk and the Prophet, and
all Of the famous Indians of his time
in that locality, and in 1897 took
deputation consisting Of Keol1uk, Wa
pello, Black Hawk and other chiefs to
Washington, New York, Boston and
other cities.
Wapello, whose monument stands
beside that Of General Street, was
chief of the Musquakee tribe, and one
of the most estimable, loyal and
peace loving Indians of whom we have
any record He was born at Prairie du
Chen in 1887; was the son of a chief
and his father ruled over one of the
principal villages Of the Sac and Fox
nation. In 1929 Wapello moved to Mus
catine Slough, on the west side of the
Mississippi river, and afterward locat-
ed his village in the vicinity of the
present city Of Ottumwa, March is,

to be buried by the side of his friend,
General Street, and his wishes were
respected

A DANGEROUS SwindIe.

One who reads the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station reports
carefully will soon come to the con-
clusion that the practical utilization of
waste products may be oyerdone. The
descendants of the olden time grocer
who sanded his sugar have developed
aduteration into a science. The orig
inal schemer would be delighted to
meet the modern inventor of disguised
frauds for which the public pays a
big price. In one of the latest Sta
ton Bulletins, 'Feeds, Seeds and
Weeds" it is shown that quite num-
Der Of the much advertised scientific
stock and poultry foods are made up
largely Of dangerous weed seeds that
have little or no food value, but that
retain their vitality and make life a
burden for the farmer. The result is
this: The farmer pays out good money
to seed down his land to weeds and in
crease his troubles.
The examinations show that some
of the dairy feeds contain per pound
from five thousand to eighty-six thou
sand weed steeds. Here are a few
paragraphs from the report:
There are a number of mixtures sold
as feeds in this state which contain
quantities of seeds of undesirable and
pestilent weeds, Of which a consider
able portion are live and will, under
proper conditions, promptly terminate
and grow.
The weed seeds are not always
quickly detected by casual inspection,
because they are variously mixed with
chatf and oat hulls, and are often mix
ed or smeared with molasses.
These facts are naturally not mem
toned in the staten entS of COMPOST
lions. yet they are more important to
the buyer than the chemical analysis.
A moderate food value may be grant
ed to ground weed seeds, or to some
species of them, but il is very doubt
full if small whole seeds are broken UP
and digested by the animal
Every pound of each of these mix
lures brings to the farm from five
thoucand to eiglty-six thousand seeds.
of which, in some cases a hundred. in
others more than twenty-five thousand
are alive.
Certain manufacturers claim to de-
stroy the vitality Of the veecs which
the mix with feed, but in no one of
these above reported has even this
measure of protection to the purchas-
er been thoroughly done. 1t has been
apparently attempted only in case of
the sucrene feeds.
All of these weeds are characteristic
of grain screenings which are the ref
use separated from grain. in order to
milling. Thus an analysis recently
made here Of wheat screenings showed
about 33 per cent. of fax and shrunken
cereal, Is per cent. of foxtails. 8 per
cent. of bindweeds and pigweeds. Is
per cent. of weed Seeds and other spe-
cies and 81 per cent. of dust, broken
seed and sand. Even such a mixture
is much better than many others which
often contain very little, if any, wheat
or flax.
An average price for screenings is
s12 a ton in Chicago or SIS in Connec-
ticUt.
Mixed with molasses and chaff or
hulls, and in SOME cases with really
good feed materials. some of them sell
at prices which are nearly as high as
those paid for first class feeds.

on different grounds, may be said Of
Charleston, Pensacola. New Orleans
and San Francisco. Pensacola now ha-
an abundance of water, which cannot
be said OF the other navy yards mem
toned, but Pensacola Is singularly
open to bombardment by an enemy, as
indeed is Portsmouth. The truth Is
that we have at present only four
naval establishments which can be
safely relied upon in case Of stress and
where the government can prontably
increase it's expenditures for mainte-
nance and provement-Boston, New
York, Hampton Roads and Bremerton,
in the state of Washington. Our war
ships are rapidly increasing in size,
and the difficulty Of keeping pace with
that increase grows more formidable
and more costly in respect OF such
ports as Charleston, New Orleans and
San Francisco. We can well afford to
multiply our equipment Of docks and
shops in the one case, nd notwith'
standing the outlay that has been
made in the others we shall be wise to
abandon, them to the uses Of the light
draught cruisers, torpedo boats,etc., II
we do not relinquish them altogether.
