The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1913-11-01

Again, General Beadle was for six
teen years president of the Madison
State Normal school. 1t was in our
pioneer days; the salary wac small,
and he gave literally of his income
to every public enterprise. The old
vouchers on file in several of u de-
nominational schools show that he
gave literally to them as an act OF
Christian duty. For eight years, since
he became too old to serve as president
of the normal, he has lived at the
Lake Park hotel in Madison. Until
two years ago last July, things went
along all right. He was carried on
the payroll of the school at $50 pei
month as a lecturer on history, and
be usually dill lecture twice a week.
But in July, 1911, the regents of edu-
cation struck him of of the pay roll
on a legal technicality and since then
he has had a hard time of it. What
should have been done was this: Have
made him president emeritus of Mad
ion normal, placed him on full Pay,
and have permitted him to spend his
declining yea in keeping with the
dignity of the great and incompatible
service which he rendered to our state.
This should yet be done.
The last teachers association passed
a resolution asking the state Legislature
TO provide q pension for him. Inss.

The treatment which We are now
affording to General Beadle is. after
all. in keeping with that which has
been accorded to every prominent
b~enefactor Of the race. Christ came to
redeem us and we nailed him to the
cross. The twelve men who swore
allegiance TO Him, each went to a
martyrs death. Columbus discovered
a new world and he died in chains.

When they reached the bluffs on the
fiver where Camden is now situated
a friendly tribe of Ouchiba Indians
off red to barter their produce for the
baubles which the white men carried.
Here DE Soto camped to lay in a store
of supplies.
The keen eyes Of De Soto and his
leaders saw armlets and other orna.
ments of Indian handicraft made Of
silver, and they greedily demanded
whence the metal came. The Indians
apparently sensing the cupidity of the
Spaniards, offered to exchange their
trinkets for the goods of the white
men. They even promised to bring
much silver to the camp OF the white
men. But they refused to disclose
the locati II of the mine from which
hey dug the metal.
Feeling that death W near at hand,
DE Soto sadly gave up his search and
set out down the river late in the
spring.
Nee less famous than De Soto have
sought for the mine OF the Indians
at intervals during the centuries since
he gave up and sailed down the Oau.

settlers at Arkansas Post (t6s6) heard
legends from the Indians, both of tie
existence of the mine in the land of
the Ouachitas and of the unsuccessful
search made by De Soto.

westward to investigate. The investi
gators followed the beaten paths of De
Soto, and actually dug in many places
where he had been before them, super
stitiously hoping the great explorer had
worked a hot trail. They met with no
greater success than De Soto.
These legends have continued to
appeal to the minds of men wen down
to the present day. Every youth raised
in this section of the state has specu-
lated on the Likelihood of finding the
hidden mine. The greed Of men has
but made more sordid the speculations
of youth. The call is in the blood of
all who have heard the story.
During the Civil wal both federal
and confederate soldiers, while sta
toned in the country surrounding
Camden, made more or less systematic
searches for the lost mine. The con-
federate soldiers found u small deposit
of lead during their search for the
silver, and hundreds of pounds of
bullets were nodded for use in confed-
crate guns.
Even the location of the lead mine
has been forgotten since the wal. 1t
has passed into legend, as has the older
silver mine, adding interest and mys.
terry to the older legend.

Indians for many years before the 6rsi

Arkansas.
The Indians had learned to work
the silver into a variety of crude
articles long before the discovery Of
America.
The first record of the mine wal
left by an anncnymeus voyager who
accompanied De Soto. De Soto had

newly discovered country about the
midsummer of 154t. His health had

GOV. HOCH PRAISES
PENDLETON ROUNDUP

Pendleton's chief distinction Is its
possession of the Roundup, accord
ing to the way of thinking of ex-
Governor Hoch of Kansas, and he
will herald that distinction abroad
through the medium of his newspa-
per in Marion, Kansas. That at least
is what he indicated last evening at
the reception rendered him in the
Commercial association after his ad-
dress at the Christian church.
In travelling about the country"
he said 81 find what 1 call superla-
tives and 1 think some day l shall

different places which surpass all
others in one line of industry or In

Roundup to me Is wonderful and 1
shall have occasion to mention 1t

per-"
The distinguished visitor was sup
piled with literature regarding the To-
cal frontier show from which he will
receive more data and general knowl-
edge than was possible during his
| brief stay here.
A good many citizens assembled at
the Commercial club rooms after his
address to meet Governor Hoch, who
spoke briefly and informally for a
few minutes, after which he sat down
and enjoyed half hour in conversa-
ton with those present. He proved
to be very affable and entertaining
| subject, and seemed to be as pleased
| to meet the Pendletonians as they
were to meet him.
