Lates, Kansas Drink

The latest drink in Kansas is the
jackson cocktail. 1t is q drink in
tended to avoid trouble with the Kansas
prohibitory law. and Fred Jackson,
attorney general, for whom it is named.
1t can be purchased anywhere in Kansas
at any time, and the chap who sells it
never is in danger of prosecution and
the fellow who buys it never will be
brought into court as a witness.
The drink is made of three parts of
ordinary apple cider and one part
jamaica ginger, and is really palata-
bic concoction. Cider always is good,
and ginger, being chiefly alcohol, gives
the mixture zest and flavor that old
topers say is about.the finest ever.
Besides, the drink gets real action
right away. Two good drinks will
make man feel real funny and cute,
three will cause him to rob his own
trunk, and five are calculated to make
him prefer bed of shucks in the
corner of vacant lot to a nice downy
couch at home.
The attorney general and the state
board of b ,alth are hearing numerous
reports OF the Jackson cocktails effec-
tiveness, both as substitute for red
liquor and as jag producer. The
attorney general and the board officials
are looking for some way to stop con-
sumption of the cocktail, but thus far
it appears the use of the drink cannot
be stopped by any law Kansas has at
present.-St Joseph Observer.

A Temperance Tale

The new and very stringent pro-
hibitory law which goes into effect in
Kansas has revived an old story ON the
subject. A stranger went into Kansas
drug store and asked for some whisky.
."I can't sell you any whisky" said
the druggist.
But I'm sick" persisted the
stranger. -. ,..-..
THAT won't help any," replied the
druggist. 1T don't make any differ
ence. can't sell you any whisky for
being sick"
"Well, what can you sell it to me
FORE" asked the stranger.
1.-The only thing we can sell whisky
for in this town" said the druggist. "is
for snake bites. Hold up now, don't
ask me where to get bitten. No ilse.
There is only one snake in town, and
he is engaged for three weeks ahead. -

Banking Control.

Six banks in New York control the
stock market. They can elevate or de-
press prices at will. They can make
ready money one per cent. or 800 per
cent. They have no computations of
conscience, because thye have no con.
science. Here's bank with enormous
deposits. 1t pays no interest; but it's
president and directors speculate with
the money as If they owned it. Why
do people intrust their money to this
institution? What do they get out of
It? If the bank fails the depositors are
ruined.-N. Y. Press.

Last Indian Battle In Eastern Nevada

LdSt lnoian Battle In Eastern Nevada
When Nevada was yet u part of Utah,
and at that time when the Shoshones
and Piutes were "a warlike race, there
Indians and few outlawed white men
made life most precarious for the
pioneers travelling from Salt Lake to
California, the new Ell Dorado, which
was then attracting venturesome
characters from all sections of the world.
The main overland trail from Salt Lahe
came through Deep creek, crossed Step
toe valley-then not named-and OH
through Egan canyon, Sprucemont and
down the Humboldt river
Seldom a week or Il day passed but
immigrants and mail carriers were
killed along this route. In the fall of
1859 troop of cavalry was dispatched
from the westward to cross the state
e.. along this trail and teach the Indians a
wholesome lesson. The troop was
under command of Colonel Steptoe,
who had been on. the frontier some
time, and whose opinion was that the
only good Indians were dead ones.
The command arrived at the stage
station Mt Egan Pass in the evening.
and found that the two stock tenders
had been killed, the station plundered'
and the stock run off, Without stop
ping the Colonel took up the trail and
at daybreak on the following morning
located the Indians at Hercules Gap,
on the west side of the valley a few
miles from the present location of the
smelter. This gap is IL narrow canyon
which cuts off the southern point of the
mountain.
AS soon as the commander was sure
Of the location of the Indians, he
divided his troops and sent part of
them around the mountain to the east
ern outlet of the pass, with orders to
advance through the pass. When the
attack was made from the eastern end
of the pass the Indians fled to the west,
only to be met by the soldiers who
occupied advantageous positions, and
moved them down as they came The
walls of the pass were SO precipitous as
10 prevent escape, and all were slaugh-
tered with the exception of one who
several days afterward made his
appearance at Dave McQuiddy's ranch,
now known as Georgetown, and asked
for food. He was in furnishing con-
ditiOn. but was Succored and remained
on the ranch for many years. This
mr. lnfn
McQuiddy and was trustworthy and
reliable in every respect. He passed to
the happy hunting ground" on ranch
in the eastern part of this county about
~ year ago.
In all there were eighty two Indians
killed III Hercules Gap, where their
skulls and skeletons can yet be found.
This massacre was Il lesson to the In
dians and from then until the present
time there has been no serious con-
HCt between the races in eastern Ne
vada.
After the battle,Colonef Steptoe and
his troops passed on through the country
until they came to Fort Mohavr. where
it was stationed for some time.
III honor of the Colonel, the broad and
beautiful valley upon the edge of which
the battle was fought, was by common
consent chrstcncd "StcptOc." and thus
has the name ami mamrry of the com.
