popularity, that his reception CORE
sponded with the style In which be
made his visits. These we're generally
made in the fall of the year. and were
enlivened by hunting. fishing, dancing'

games--in all OF which Keokuk TOOK
an active part
He moved in a more magnificent
style than any other chief in America
In point Of natural intellect, integrity
of character, and the capacity for gov,
erning and commanding, he was sup
posed to have no superior among the
Indians. Bold, courageous, and skill
ful In war, he was mild, firm, and pol
itic in peace. He had great enter
prise, and active impulses, with a
freshness and enthusiasm OF feeling
which might readily have led him
astray, but for his acute knowledge
OF human nature, his uncommon pru'
dence. and good common sense, and
sound Judgment. AT an early periou
OF his life. he became the head CHIEF
OF his nation: and by his superior tai
ents. eloquence. and intelligence, real
ly directed all the affairs OF his nation
for many years.
Such was Keokuk, the watchful Fox
the brave, wise, firm and polite
chief-who prided himself upon being
the friend of the white man, as wei
as the red man. But this noble Indias
chief has passed away, and he has
gone to join his tribe beyond the flood

Captain Whisky was introduced into
the camp of warriors, and Keokuk
saw the crisis was at hand. He warn
ed the white man, who was his guest,
OF the impending danger. and advised
him to conceal himself. sce,e OF
tumult ensued--the embassy spoke of
the blood that had been shed by the
selves being driven from their hunt
ing grounds, of many recent insults,
and of injuries that had long been in
flicted by the whites. He talked OF
the ready vengeance that might now
be taken on an exposed frontier of de-
fenseless cabins. and of the rich booty
they might take. The desired effect
Wa produced; the warriors began to
dance around the war-pole, to paint,
and to give other evidence of war.
Keokuk closely watched the rising
storm, and seemed TO mingle in 1t. He
drank, and listened, and apparently
! sympathized. At length his warriors
i He arose. and spoke with powerful elo
quence which never failed him. He
sympathized with their wrongs-their
4 thirst for vengeance. He won their
confidence by giving utterance to the
passions by which they were moved,
and echoing back their own thoughts
! with master spirit. He then con
sidered the proposition to go to war.
and informed them of the number and
power OF the whites, and the entire
hopeleszness Of their conquering such
body of men He told them that he
was their chief; that it was his duty
to govern them as father at home, to
lead them to war IL they were deter
mined to go. But, in the proposed war
there was no middle course. The pow
, err of the United States was such that
; unless they conquered that great ma.
/ ton they must perish. He said he
: would lead them instantly against the
| whites, on one condition. and that was
that they should put all their women
, solve. that. having crossed the Missis
J sippi, they would never return, but
perish among the graves OF their
, fathers rather than yield them to the
! white men. This proposal, desperate
: as it was, presented the true issue

to his counsel, they had looked on
him with increased aversion They
had made repeated efforts to destroy
his influence with the remainder of
the tribe, and, owing to the mono ony
of his pacific manner of governing,
were, on one occasion, nearly success
fel. A spirit of discomfort pervaded
his people; they complained of the
extent of the power which ne welded
They needed excitement, and, as his
measures were all of peaceful char
acter, they sought change of rulers.
The matter was, at length, openly and
formally discussed the voice OF the
nation was taken; Keokuk was re-
moved from his post, as head man,
and young chief placed in his stead
He made not the smallest opposition
to this measure of his people, but
calmly awaited the result. When his
successor was chosen Keokuk wes the
/ first to salute him with the title Of
father But the matter did not rest
here; with great courtesy he begged
! to accompany the new chief to the
United States agent, then at RocF
K Island, and, with profound respect, to
introduce him as his chief and father.
and urged the agent to receive him as
such, and asked it as favor, that the
same regard might be extended to hia
worthy successor. The sequel may
readily be inferred
4 The nation could not remain blind
to the error they had committed
Keokuk, as a private individual, was
still the first man among his people.
His ready and noble acquiescence In
their wishes won both their sympathy
and admiration. He rose silently but
rapidly to his elevated station. while
the young chief sunk as rapidly into
his former obscurity In this son OF
the forest we have the true elements
OF greatness and of government. 1t Is
said no man Is fit to govern who will
not submit to be governed He had
studied human nature, and knew well
how to meet 1t In all its phases, and
how to make men think they are
governing themselves. With a sound
Judgment, and good stock OF common
sense. this untaught chief used all his
talents to secure the greatest good to
his savage people. How, unlike the
degraded, unprincipaled, sycophantic
demagogue, who sacrifices all his pat
riotism for the purpose of filing his
own pockets with the public money
The spoils for the victors, is his motto

The most magnificent Indian chief
IN America.
Thus is Chief Keokuk described by
B. R. Finley in his book entitled
"Life Among the Indians" and pub
lished possibly seventy or more years
ago Mrs. R. G. Horne has copy OF
this book which was written by
man who was once a missionary
among the Indians one hundred
years ago and who says in the pre-
face of his book: No living man.
probably, has seen and known more
of the Indians In the northwest than
& myself"
The book contains descriptions OF
the old chieftians and contains the
following about Chief Keokuk, after
whom this city is named and whose
& bones lie moulding in the ground at
Rand park, over which statue OF the
chief is to be raised next month:
This native chief was born on Rock
river, in the northwestern part Of the
state of Illinois, about 1881. He arose
to his elevated state by his own native
talent, and his deeds of daring. While
quite a youth, he joined war party
against the Sioux tribe OF Indians,
then at war with the Sacs and Foxes.
The first engagement was fierce
contest some fighting on foot and
some on horseback. The victory was
doubtful one; when young Keokuk
n tc W. do nj
the middle of the battle, and encount-
cred the chief warrior OF The Sioux on
horseback The two met with deadly
aim, with their spear and tomahawk.
At length Keokuk launched his spear
into the breast of his antagonist, and
brought him to the ground, gasping
in death, while he himself was bleed
ing from many wounds. The Sioux
seeing their leader fallen, and not
hearing the thunder tones of his voice
in the storm of battle, fled. and this
gave the victory to the Sac and Fox
nation This achievement was looked
upon as developing the character of
this young warrior, so as as to cause
the nation to appoint a day of feast
ing to honor the youthful warrior
This kind of military spirit, where it
is naturally possessed, will develop
itself sometimes in childhood and in
youth, as in the character of our own
Washington, Wayne, Marion, and Har-
rison. The martial fire seems to burn
in those young heart, and the sound
of the drum and fife will kindle 1t
into a flame. So it was said of Keo-
kuk-his delight was In the scaIping
knife. the tomahawk, the spear, and
the deadly rifle After the feast to
which we alluded, this young warrior
was looked upon as one of the braves,
and was. by all the nation, admitted
to all their privileges; and farther,
on all days of public occasions, he
was allowed to appear on horseback
even if all the braves and chiefs were
on foot
In the time OF the last war
with Britain. and before young Keokuk
was entitled TO take his seat in the
councils OF his nation, a rumor was
circulated that the government of the
United States had sent an army to de-
stroy the Indian village Of Peoria, on
