wEN iE great Liberty Bell of the
 West"-the bell that 137 years
 W ago tolled out the news of 0 American supremacy in the
 vast frontier territory of the Mississippi valley-now lies almost forgotten by the outside world in the Church Of the Immaculate Conception in the little village of New Kaskas- kia, H., writes Dean Halliday in the Chicago Evening Post.
 Next to the Liberty Bell in Phila- delphia the "Kaskie bell' as it is known hereabouts, is the most his toric bell in the country. It is older than the Liberty Bell, now on it's way to San Francisco; older by ten years!
 Two years, almost to an hour, after the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia had proclaimed the freedom of the thir- teen colonies, the great bell of Old Kaskaskia rang out with the glad tidings that a determined band of Kentucky backwoodsmen, under the leadership of George Rogers Clark, had captured Fort Gage, at the foot of the bluffs few miles to the east, and had forced the English to haul down their flag.
 Rang for CIark's Triumph.
 With the echoes of the great bell still reverberating through the valley, the American flag was run up over the fort and the great frontier coun- try became part of the United States of America
 The bell rang out again in triumph as Clark's force marched from the fort and took over Old Kaskaskia, then the territorial capital.
 IL is 25 years since the bell boomed out for the last time-one night in 1890. when the Mississippi, swollen to the flood point, broke through the cutoff and swept over the town. It was the warning of the bell that night that saved many lives.
 Several years later, when an at tempt was made to have the bell sent to Chicago to be exhibited at the Columbian exposition, members of the surviving families of the old days ob- jected. The priest in charge-Father Ferlan-waJ willing, but his little flock would not have it. When a committee came from Chicago to get the bell they were driven off with guns.
 Stolen at Night.
 But week or two later, in the dead of night, the bell was stolen. Fer ried across the river by men whose identity has never been revealed, it was loaded onto train just as dawn was breaking and started on it's jour- ney to Chicago.
 It was in TAI that word was car ried to France that the Jesuits had penetrated far to the west in the new America and on the banks of mighty river had established church.
 To show his pleasure. the king, Louis XIV, ordered a great bronze bell to be cast and shipped over the seas to the hardy priests On it was in scribed that it was for the little church in Illinois and "a gift of the king
 The bell arrived at the little church in Kaskaskia- Cascasquia, the Jesuits called it--in 1742.
 Brave, hardy folk were those early French settlers, with few scattered English. There were the Menards. the Sauciers. the vigos. the Lamarches, the Bonds, the Morrisons and the Ed gars.
 Cot Pierre Menard was the grand seigneur-the first man of Kaskie, and his was the ebig house The Menard homo always was open, and
