Arrangements had been made to en-

carried out by the officers and members
Of the two local companies, together
with several citizens VINO had been in

After mess was served to the mem
bers Of the company and their guests,
several short talks were made by the
visitors of the necessity of an armory,
and the usefulness of the national

WEIRD TRADITION
TELLS OF CURSE
OF INDIAN LOVER
NOW FULFILLED
kASKASkIAN CHIEF WITH DYING
BREATH CALLS BLIGHT UPON
SETTLEMENT OF PALE
FACE PIONEERS.

Springfield, H., April For forty
years, since the waters Of the Missis-
sippi river washed away the last YES
tige of Kaskaskia, the first capital of
Illinois, leaving a narrow island Of rich
alluvial soil at the mercy of the stream,
the superstitious have seen in the
gradual destruction Of "The Narrows"
fulfllment Of the prophecy Of an old
Indian legend, wound about the story
of an Indians love for white woman.
When a tall. handsome young chief
of the Kaskaskian Indians pronounced
curse upon the place 200 years ago,
kaskaskia was a flourishing little vii
lage with splendid ambitions, situated
on a peninsula at the junction Of the
Kaskaskia and Mississippi rivers. In
1881 Nature violently demolished her
handiwork at the former outpost Of
civilizat ton and Kaskasxia was ravaged
by flood. The pensinula was cut away.
leaving a remnant Of the old town on
the island which is gradually disappear
ing When the last trace OF land has
sunk beneath the waters and the phan-
tom streets OF the old trading post are
on the muddy bottom in the center OF
the Mississippi, the Course of Kaskas-
kia" will have been fulfilled in its last
detail. The young chief prophesied the
total destruction Of the site within 200
years.
Jean Bernard came from France in
1893 with his wife and l0-year-old
daughter, Marie, so the legend runs.
They settled in Kaskaskia. Marie
Blossomed into maidenhood and her
beauty in the full bloom of womanhood
was famous.
A young chief Of the Kaskaskians,
converted by Jesuits and educated.
went to Kaskaskia. and set himself up
as n trader. He prospered.
one night at ball the young chief
met Marie Bernard. The girl was fas-
cinated with him and with the Indian
II was love at first sight Bernard pere
was displeased. He forbade his daugh-
ter to communicate with the Indian,
used his influence TO have the young
chief ostracized from society forced
MN out OF DuslHCSS anu OUT VI 'oNH'
A year passed At fete one winter
night Marie disappeared. Marie and
her Indian lover were trailed by a
posse led by Benard. Forty miles from
Kaskaskia, in the direction OF the set
tlement OF st. Louis. the pair was over
taken.
Taking the Indian down to the river.
Bernard lashed him TO u log and turned
him adrift As the Kaskaskian floated
down the river to his death he cursed
Bernard and predicted the father OF his
sweetheart would die a violent death.
His last words, so the legend goes
were that within 200 years the waters
which were bearing him away would
sweep from the earth every vestige oil
the town.
Marie died in convent. Bernard was
killed in duel in i7l9. The last trace
Of Kaskaskia has been obliterated and
the island which was once part Of the
peninsula is being gradually washed
away,

PLAN ABANDONED

Mexico City, April 7.-German immi-
grafton TO Mexico has so decreased
that not more than 600 have entered
this country since the end of the war.
German officials have urged their
countrymen not TO migrate here ut
present but rather to avail themselves
OF the facilities offered for settlement
In South American republics OF Argen-
tina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Informa-
ton to this effect was given at the
German embassy following inquiries as
TO newspaper reports here that an Of
fetal request had been made In behalf
OF Germans for a concession OF about
10000 acres Of land In Co0huila.
Denial was made that the Coahuila
concession in question pertains to Ger

principally from Texas. who wished to

Declaration was made further that
the Mexican government as yet has
offered no Inducements for German i'm

from the port OF entry TO the place of
settlement. Contrasted to this is the
policy inaugurnted by the plata re-
