Tradition and old scraps of written
history tells us that Nathan Smith, al
long time interpreter and spy among
the Indians, was at Keokuk's camp
or village, on the Iowa river, during
the troubles, resulting in the Black
Hawk war. OF course there was
great excitement in the village at the
wild rumors and discussions of blood
shed, and night after night Keokuk
assembled the people of his tribe In
TIE council house and made speeches
to them opposed to war; he told them
its consequences, and as Smith under
stood every word he uttered, and was
in the habit of hearing the best pub
lie speakers, he said he never heard
an orator equal to Keokuk. His In
fluence with his people was great;
they knew him to be brave, but It
was with difficulty he restrained them
from their natural love for war. He
made several journeys to Washington
and was much trusted for his integ-
irity and fidelity to the government OF
the United States. He welded much
more influence for the protection and
ltetterment of the condition of the
white people in the Mississippi valley
in the locality than many white men
cf prominence who held high place IN
the councils of the union.
KeoKuk was quarter blood. not

LAST SESSION
COSTLER, BUT
did MUCH WORK

In preparing his annual report to
the secretary of the interior, Governor
Frear has discovered that the daily
average cost of the last legislature
was considerably greater than that of
any other law-making session ever
held in the territory. He finds, how
ever, that the aggregate expense of
the entire session was exceeded by
that of two former lesiglatures, those
of 1901 and 1903. At the same time
his report will show that the session
of 1913 did more work than any for
mer legislative body of the islands
The figures he has compiled set the
expense of the 1913 legislature at $751;
201.S4. The cost Of maintaining the
1901 legislature was 94,654.94, and
that of the 1913 lawmalxing body $780,
s43.94. hTe 1913 session cost the ter.
ritory $1,000 more than the previous
one, the 1911 legislatures total ex-
Eense being s70,245.S4: yet the last
legislative body enacted ony one more
statute than its predecessor, the total
number of new laws created this year
being just 10.

last legislature was 1855. .36: the only
