group Of brave people who had set out
to find better country in which to
live.
A few days later the train was
camped at Horseshoe Bend, Neb., on
the Platte river. They had just estab-
ished the camp when q half starved
woman wearing only rags came out Of
the woods leading a little boy by the
hand. Upon questioning her, 1t was
learned that her train had been de-
stroyed by Indians and that she and
her little boy were the only survivors.
She explained that they had wandered
aimlessly in the woods, living on roots
and berries since the Indian raid. They
we're given food and drink and later
sent back east with government pack
train.
One incident which proved almost
disastrous to young Ted Thorpe, oc-
Cured one day when the train was in
camp and a prowling indian entered
the camp and attempted to steal. Ted
came into camp, and although only six
years old, upon learning what had hap
pened, Jumped upon his Indian pony
and started for the Indian camp; de-
termined to settle accounts with the
Indian that had been at their camp.
One Of the men took a fast horse and
started in pursuit Of the youth. After
riding two miles at break neck speed,
he overlook Ted's racing horse and
taking the boy from its back returned
to camp with him. Ted had not con-
sidered the danger Of going into an
Indian camp, but was thinking only Of
aVenging the deed Of the redskin.
On another occasion they came upon
q train that had recently had trouble
with Indians and were stalled to re-
pair their damaged outfit before pro-
ceeding upon their journey. A young
man in the train, by the name Of
Snasher, with hatred in his heart for
the plundering redskins, boasted that
he would kin the next Indian that he
saw. His comrades tried desperately to
discourage him in his idea, telling him
that he would bring disaster TO all Of
them. That night they came upon a
camp Of Indians. Sighting an Indian |
Squaw and her papoose little distance |
from the camp, the boastful youth car
ried out hts threat. He shot the equaw |
and her baby, killing them both in /
stantly.
The braves Of the camp Immediately
surrounded the white mans camp and |
gunted out demands that young
Snasher be turned over to them, indi-
eating that If he was not they would
destroy the entire camp. Captain
Thorpe consulted other men Of his out

Ted Hamilton Thorpe one Of the
first cowboys 20 settle In GaAlatin
county, was born june Is, 1857, at
Racine, wis. Ted lived there with his
family during the first six years Of
his life and had Just passed his sixth
birthday when one evening his father
revealed 20 the family q decision he
had made which was 70 lead to many
thrilling experiences and hardships
for the youth and HIS family. Ted's
father had become dissatisfied with
HE IA the east and had decided 70
toin q train Of immigrants TO the
new west.
After shipping their cattle by rail- to
Waterloo, Ia, the terminus Of the
railroad, the families loaded their wag-
0ns with flour, medical drugs, bedding
and other necessities and yoking the
oxen 10 them the long journey was
begun. The many sacks Of flour, which
they regarded as being an indispensable
commodity in making the long overland
trip, were purchased at the unbeliev-
able price Of $50 per 100 pounds.
Phillip Thorpe, Ted's father, was cap
tain of the train and was looked TO by
the others for protection and guidance
in their new adventure. Young Ted
Hamilton was given the job Of riding q
burrow and driving the oxen. Every
man In the outfit was constantly on the
guard for Indians and at every sec
ond, held the safety Of the families
foremost in their minds.
AS the little party moved toward the
west and their new homes, many ad-
ventures and thrills confronted the
members; some proving seriously dan
gerous and others presenting the more
numerous side Of life.
One day as the group moved on their
long Journey, they came across the
wagons Of an outfit that had been
plundered by q band Of Indians. The
members Of the train had been killed
and scalped by the redskins and every
thing Of value taken from the wagons.
AS the train approached the plundered
mass. they could distinguish by the
glowing camp fires that the massacre
had taken place not long before their
arrival.
( Suspended on forked sticks across
one OF the fires was a gun with the
stock partly burned off. The victims
of the prowling redskins had been using
the barrel Of the gun to hang kettles
on to do their cooking AS the captain
of the Thorpe train and another man
were scouting around the plundered
camp, the gun barrel became overhead
ed and a bullet which had accidentally
been left In the weapon, exploded, kill
ing the man walking beside Thorpe.

proved would increase the cost Of dis
continuing the dole and substituting
work relief by approximately $780,
900, 1000. The exact amount, Of course,
cannot be stated, but the weight OF
evidence taken by the Senate Com
nlittee on Appropriations Is that in
stead Of $4,s80, ,0o0, 900, $7,22o, ,000, 900
will be required to accomplish the two
purposes; namely, the discontinuance
Of the dole and the temporary absorp-
ton Of the unemployed in works Of
permanent value and Importance.
1T should be remembered for the
most part no emergency conditions
apply to the construction that will be
undertaken under the work relief pro-
gram embraced in the resolution.
Many Of these works can wait.
Drain Too Great.
THE drain on the Treasury TO pro-
vide $4.sso, 100000 would havs been
great enough. The drain Is too great
to authorize $7,220, ,000, 900 when the
authorization is calculated to defea:
the primary purpose which prompted
LIlS 1ULIIlQldtlOkl Va LAlC pan.
When the President announced
that he will not sign the joint reso-
luton with the McCarran amend
ment, the Senate recommitted 1t to
the committee on appropriations.
What will be the final fate OF the
measure? This Is the question in
which the country Is interested. There
can be no assurance given at this
time Is to what action the committee
future attitude Of the Senate.
TT is possible, Of course, to report
and pass an appropriation for $780,
900 900. thus providing funds required
in the immediate future for relief
purposes and postponing a nocclusion
respecting unemployment relief. It Is
useless from the standpoint Of the pro-
ponents Of the McCarran amendment
to pass the legislation for the reason
that every one knows the President
will veto 1t and 1t cannot be enacted
over his veto.
There is cumulative evidence Of re-
turning prosperity. The work relief
program was devised to tide the
country over the period while busi-
ness is being revived and enterprises
are being resuscitated. 1t is impos-
sible for the Federal Government long
to carry out a program for national
dole or public employment system.
Those who believe that the Federal
Treasury is inexhaustible think money
can be printed for emergency pur-
poses with resort to that measure Of
imitation which in the experience Of
other nations has meant the ruin Of
everything worth preserving.
Those in the Senate who have
been denouncing extravaganza will
find themselves wholly unable to
justify the increase OF the expense Of
the work relief program by more than
two billion dollars.
Those who champion the prevail
ing wage may discover their error
when it is too late to prevent the aug
mentation Of the rolls Of the unem-
ployed and possibly the dinunition Of
the compensation OF workers who are
engaged in industry because Of the de-
preciated currency.

ism should be placed above politics,

The Alabama Power Co. agreed to

OF the Capitol Of an undercover re-
bellion.
Secretly, dissatisfied Democrats were
trying to organize a group of 100 to
get through legislation opposed by the
administration, on the bonus, silver
and imitation.
In both Houses there was an in
creasing disposition on the part Of
committees to write their own legis.
lation, rather than to take that sent
down from the White House.
Roosevelt Takes Notice.
In his most recent message, asking
for extension Of the N. r. A., Presi-
dent Roosevelt took cognizance Of this
attitude and, publicly at least, sub.
mitted no draft of bill.
So slow was administration legis-
lation progressing in committees. that
the Senate found itself with nothing
to do following recommittal to COM
mittee Of the work relief bill. Only
an appropriation bill and a few minor
measures were on its calendar for
next week.
Social security is next on the pro-
gram, but the House Ways and Means
Committee has at least another week
OF work before it will be ready. The
Senate Finance Committee has to
wait until 1t gets through the House.
1t may be several weeks before an
other major piece Of legislation Is
ready for the Senate.
Reviewing the accomplishments OF
the session, leaders found they had
passed and sent to the White House
only of the IL annual appropria-
ton bills and three or four other
measures Of varying importance.
The bills passed included the s777,-

SMALLPOX MENACE IN FEW SECTIONS
Disease Reaches Lowest Point on Record, Many
 Towns Still Suffering
Special to The Democrat)

tSpeCfal 10 Ine DemOCfaCJ
 New York, Oct 8-Although the number of smallpox cases reported during 1884 in the United States and Canada reached the lowest point on record, not a single case being reported in 10 states and the Distruct of Columbia, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, declare that, while this "loathsome' disease" is beinng brought under control, it is "still @ menace in some sections of the United States"
 Explaining that only 5269 cases of smallpox were reported last year in A states, the District of Colum- bia and nine Canadian provinces, as compared with 6285 in 1883 and 10,902 in 1892, the point is stressed that about 84 per cent of the 5250 cases reported in the United States in 1884 occurred in IA states.
 "It is discouraging," the statis- ticians say, "to find that despite the ease with which the disease can be campated, there etill are cities like Bremerton, Wash, and Stevens Pint, Wis, in which small pox cases number as many as 400 to 600 per 100000 inhabitants; and cities like Boise, Idaaho; Vinecnnes, Ind; Tacoma, Wash, Green Bay, Wis, and Marinette, Wis, which still have case rates of 72 to IA.
 "In contrast with these, 1t is re- freshing to observe that in the area comprising the states of Maine, Yer mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary land, and the District of Columbia, which contains 30 percent of the country's population, not a slight case of smallpox was reported dur inthe year 1884. This is the more remarkable because it is in just this area, with it's relatively highly congested population, so conducive to thes pread of the disease, that one would expect to find the very highest smallpox incidence in the country. Yet so complete is the control of this disease in these states, through vaccination and re- vaccination, thit 1t has now become as rare as bubonic plague, cholera or yellow fever.
 "If this can be achieved in so densely populated an area, why cannot equal success be attained in more sparsely inhabitated states of the Rocky Mountain division and great grain-growing reginos, which are areas in which the highest smallpox rates now prevail?
 eff these thates were as alive to the menace of smallpox as the east ern section of the country it is cer- tain that within very few years there would no longer be a small- pox problem in the United States Complete eradication of this loth- some disease is attainable only by thorough-going and revaccination.'
