Syracuse Journal W- G. CONNOLLY, Publisher. SYRACUSE INDIANA TRACED BACK TO AR.JIANS Drivers In History Find Beginnings the Church Steeple Reach Far Into the Centuries. There is a theory which finds the spire of the New England meetinghouse in the mountain peaks of Arabia. Tracing hack the process of evolu lion, vre come first to Loudon, where the clean sweep of the Great Fire gave Sir Christopher Wren his opportunity to experiment in steeples; and then tc Venice, where the campanile is a shining example of a tower beside , a church but separate from it; and then to Alexandria, where the famous lighthouse on the Isle of Pharos contributed to the religion of Mahomet both the form and the name of the minaret; and then to the “Tower of Babel at Borsippa, and the zikkurats of the temples of Babylonia and Assyria. A zikkurat is a huge quadrangular mass of brick, rising in diminishing stories —as a child places a big block on the floor, and puts a smaller one on it, and on that a smaller still —and ascended by a winding balustraded stair to a shrine on top. This, according to the theory, was the ritual equivalent of a mountain. Into the flat lands between the Tigris and Euphrates came the ancestors of the Babylonians and Assyrians out.of the mountains of Arabia. There they had worshiped the storm-god, who dwelt upon the heights among the clouds; with whom they communed, like Moses, by climbing up and making their offerings and saying their prayers,, upon the summit. And because there were no mountains in their new country they erected beside every temple a little mountain in the yard. Thus the zikkurat. and then the minaret, and then th* campanile, and then the steeple of the parish church!—Atlantic. Why Colonel Couldn’t Help. Misfortune overtook a veteran of the Civil war who had become rich after Lee’s surrender. Everything left him and he was induced to apply for a pension. The essential facts were to be presented by the other men of his command and their signatures to his petion were easy to get. Still, the colonel’s was the most valuable, because he had gone to the rescue of thb applicant in one of those life-and-death pinches alike creditable to the two. The colonel was located on a farm near Lockport, N. Y. He received the risitor with a singular lack of interest —even of apathy. The petitioner couldn’t understand it, and was impelled to recite theatrically the circumstances which had resulted in his Usability. Calling the petitioner to one side, the commander of the regiment said: “I know all that, but you can t well ?ut my name down because, confidentially, I’m applying for a pension' myself —for loss of memory.” Philatelists Alarmed. The introduction, as an experiment, of automatic machines for stamping letters by the London postofllce has excited much interest in Austria, and the chamber of commerce at Brunn has petitioned the ministry of commerce to introduce the system into Austria. Stamp collectors, however, are alarmed, as they fear that if this method of stamping letters is univer- - sally adopted, and postage stamps consequently become’ obsolete, the public will no longer take an interest in old postage stamps and existing collections will lose much of their value. What About It? With the caution of science, the two Germans w’ho have been so successful with cancer in mice warn the world not to conclude yet that the terrible disease is about to be controlled in humankind. Suppose, however, that the optimistic view is right and that the cure can be transferred to man, are the antivivisectionists of our proud country going to stand idly by and let cancer be conquered without a blow on their part for the mice? They have introduced another “investigation” bill in the New York legislature, to substitute their judgment and knowledge for the knowledge and judgment of our beat scientific bodies, but is that enough?

Trail

HE Santa Fe Trail was the maker of men as well as the maker of states. Only real men survived the dangers and hardships of the trail, but real men grew in strength and stature because of hardships and the dingers. The sham perished in the desert, but the genuine march-

ed the trail unhurt. The story of the trail is the story of great frontiersmen. There were giants in those days. Strong men and weaklings were attracted by the pot of gold which the rainbow stories of the trail located in Santa Fe, the end of the trail, where the rainbow touched the ground. The weaklings fell by the weary wayside or fled back ’to the silken comforts of civilization. The strong stayed. Courage was a characteristic. Fear was foreign to the frontiersmen. They knew how to fight, to fight at close range, and to fight hard. They did not know much about books, but they knew of men and the open sky and the trail. They lived out of doors. They were honest “Hide my gold?” said one old-timer talking over his yesterdays, “I never hid my gold. No thieves traveled in the caravans. They 'were hospitable. They would share the last pipeful of tobacco. Dangerous as was the life the early travelers upo nthe trail necesarily led, they found fascination in the very danger. “I would like to go again,” said Judge John D. Turley, one of the Indian fighters of yesterday, rising from his chair and tapping with his cane the elm under which we had been seated. He seemed 30 years young instead of 85 years old. “I certainly would go again if the railroad had not taken away the danger and spoiled the fun.” The most conspicuous figure among the frontiersmen on the trail was Kit Carson —“Gen. Carson,” as he is spoken of, almost with reverence, by Daniel' L. Taylor, six times mayor of Trinidad, Colo., who has given $5,000 to erect a statue to Carson in that bustling border town. Kit Carson lived and died upon the trail and was there burled. The automobile travelers, following the old trail, found reminders of this foremost frontiersman from Franklin, Mo., to Taos, N. M. Ready and willing to talk of Kit Carson were the old-timers who had known him. “Os all the great men on the trail,” said Mayor Taylor, who knew him intimately for years, “Gen. Carson was the chief.” Not all the old-timers agred with Mayor Taylor “Kit Carson was not an extraordinary man,” said Capt Smith H. Simpson of Taos. “There were many others who were better and older Indian fighters. It was Gen. John C. Fremont’s reports that made Kit Carson’s reputation.” It is not strange that the trail abounds with stories of Kit Carson and his adventures. In Howard county, Missouri, where the trail really began, he. lived as a lad. At Pawnee Rock he had his first fight with the Indians. At various posts on the trail he was stationed as Indian agent. He married on the trail. His body, buried Lyon oh the trail. His body, buried first at Las Animas, on the trail, was and in a cemetery in this quaint Spanish town in the mountains now rests. Kit Carson was” part and parcel of the old trail and much of the romance of the trail is Interwoven with his name. He was only 17 years old when he left his father’s home in. Howard coilnty, Missouri, to join a Santa Fe Caravan. From that time until his death on the Arkansas fiver in 1868 the Santa Fe trail was his home. Many stories are told of Carson, some of which are doubtless apocryphal, but all illustrate the character. At Great Bdnd, bn the Arkansas river, he amputated a man’s arm to save his life, using as Instruments all that were available, a razor, a saw and the king bolt of a wagon. At Bent’s Fort he was the chief hunter for eight years, providing game for food for the 40 men in the fort. He was on intimate terms with the Indians, who admired, respected and feared him. He could make peace as well as war. “The Sioux, one of the most numerous and warlike tribes,” relates Mayor Taylor, “had encroached upon the hunting grounds of the southern Indians, and the latter had many a skirmish with them on the banks of the Arkansas river along the trail. Carson, who was in the upper valley of the river, was sent for to come down to help them drive the obnoxious Sioux back to their oWn stamping ground. He left Fort Bend and went with the party of Comanche messengers to the main camp of that tribe and the Arapahoes, with whom they had united. Upon his arrival he was told

The Finish. Patience —Have you noticed in a circus parade that they always have the calliope wagon bring up the end of the line? Patrice —Yes; that is to let you know that the worst is yet to come. * A Consideration. “Why don’t you abdicate?” “How can I?” replied the monarch of a small but turbulent country.

that the Sioux had 1,000 warriors and many rifles, and the Comanches and Arapahoes were afraid of them on account of their great disparity of numbers, but that if he would go with , them on the warpath they felt assured they could overcome their enemies. Carson, however, instead of encouraging the Comanches and Arapahoes to fight, induced them to negotiate with the Sioux. He was sent as mediator and so successfully did ho accomplish his mission that the intruding tribe consented to leave the hunting grounds of the Comanches as soon as the buffalo season was over, which they did, and there was no more trouble. # In the adobe dwelling house at Old Fort Lyon, where Kit Carson died — now part of the United States Naval . hospital near Las Animas —Luke Cahill, the only person now living who saw the great frontiersman die, told the story of his death. “It was on May 22, 1868,” “that Gen. Carson died here. \His head rested near this window and he had been looking out through the window at the world outside. He semed to want to get out of doors. He had been ill across the Arkansas river, where he had been living for a time. As he grew steadily worse the fort physician, Dr. Tilton, and others of his friends had persuaded him to permit himself to be brought to the fort for medical treatment and hospital attendance. He had come very reluctantly. All was done for him that could be done, but it was no use. He steadily werse. There was a smile on his face as, with his hand in my hand, he looked out of the window at the glowing sunshine and died. When he died the last page of the last chapter of the-heroic days of the Old Trail was finished. He was the great man of the trail.” The most memorable military expedition up the Old Trail —indeed, the most marvelous military expedition in the memory of the United States—was that led by Col. Alexander W. Doniphan, in 1846. The thousand Missourians, under Col. Doniphan’s command, formed part of the Army of the West, under Gen. Stephen W. Kearney, which left Fort Leavenworth June 26, 1846, over the Old Trail for Santa Fe. “This body of men,” wrote William Cullen Bryant, “conquered the states of New Mexico and Chihuahua and traversed Durango and New Leon. On this march they traveled more than 6,000 miles, consuming 12 months. During all this time not one word of information reached them from the government, nor any order whatsoever; they neither received any supplies of any kind nor one cent of pay. They lived exclusively on the country through which they passed and supplied theiiiselves with powder and ball by capturing them from the enemy. From Chihuahua to Matamoras, a distance of 900 miles, they marched in 45 days, bringing with them 17 pieces of heavy artillery as trophies.” It was this expedition, which* decided that New Mexico and Arizona should become states of the American union. Richens Lacy Wooton, “Uncle Dick ’ Wootton, as all trail travelers knew him, deserves high place in any account of the historic personages of the trail. Col. Richard Owenby has ( restored near Trinidad the old Wootton toll house where the frontiersman, . having built a road over Raton moun- . tain, levied tribute upon all who traveled thereupon. i The Trail attracted the young man. ■ Kit Carson went west upon the Trail i at the age of 17 years; Doniphan and , his soldiers wer mere youths, Wootton i was but 18 years of age when he “hit f the Trail,” and James Bridger, the » foremost mountaineer, was only 16 > years old when, under the leadership > of William H.

was one reason for their lack of ths education which the school gives They had the training of the west wtyicli gave them rough, uncouth exteriors and unselfish hearts. Jim oi Maj, Bridger, born in Washington City, left the nation’s capital to travel “out West” and become guide, ‘ scout, map maker through the Rocky mountains. Bridger’s pass in the Rocky mountains bears his name. Jim Bridger, it is claimed, first among ths white men of America, saw Salt Lake in the winter of 1824-5. Bridger was in the employ of the United States government for some years and served under Gen. John C. Fremont as a scout. He also gave valuable assist ance to the surveyors of the Union i Pacific railroad. The Bents, St Vrain, Maxwell, Jijn Baker, the Coopers, the Gentrys, James P. Beckworth, Bill Williams, Tom Tobin, James Hobbs —these are among the famous soldiers, traders, trappers and frontiersmen? whose names are .intimately associated with the ro mance and history of the Santa Fa Trail. Near Arrow Rock, Saline county, Missouri, yet resides John D Turley, 85 years old, who was a famous trader on the Trail, as was hia father before him. The lifetime of father and son covers the entire period of the Old Trail. Judge Turley’s last trip was in 1851, when the Trail was yet in large use. “We fought Indians across the entire continent and carried on a most profitable trade in merchandise with the Mexicans,” said Judge Turley. “We bought whisky from the distilleries in Missouri at 16 to 40 cents a gallon, and sold it in Taos at $3 a gallon. It was terrible stuff, too. We diluted it with water, making two gallons out of every gallon, but even then it .was terrible. The ox teams had six yoke of oxen and the ordinary load for a wagon was 7,200 rounds. A load of 8,000 pounds is a good wagon load now. We took our merchandise to Taos or Santa Fe, opened a regular store, and would sell out our entire stock in two or three months. The remnants of our last stock my father traded for Mexican sheep at $1 a head, took the sheep to California, and sold them at $lO a head. I sold sassafras root at $4.50 a pound in Taos. We traveled about 25 miles a day. The last trip took 49 days. We met on that trip Rose, said to be t*he handsomest Indian woman in the west. My father made his first trip in 1825, and the Turleys stayed on the Trail until nearly the opening of the Civil war. Various tricks were played on the Mexicans. There was a tariff on every load of goods brought into Mexican territory. The tariff was so much a wagonload. If the wagon was empty, it was admitted duty free. Some traders would load the goods just outside the Mexican territory into half the wagons and drive in with half the caravan made up of empty wagons, thus paying but half the duty. The fandango— of public dance—was the chief form of social entertainment. The Spanish girls at the fandangoes were sometimes treated to ice cream and whisky. It is a devilish combination.” The story of the Old Santa Fe Trail is the story of its Bents, Carsons, Doniphans, Bridges, Woottons, Turleys and the rest. They were men cast in heroic mold. Made by the Trail, they were makers of the west. Some Mourner. Down in Georgia a negro, who had his life Insured for several hundred dollars, died and left the money to his -widow. She Immediately bought herself a very elaborate mourning outfit. Showing her purchases to her friend, she was very particular in going into detail as to prices and all incidental particulars. Her friend was very much impressed, and remarked: “Them sho is fine cloes, but, befo’ Heaven, what is you goin’ to do wid all dis black underwear?” The bereaved one sighed: “Chile, when I mourns I mourns.”—--Harper’s Magazine.

—- gj- . iWWAR PATHETIC INCIDENT OF WAR Body of Unidentified Soldier Found at Gettysburg Holding Picture of Three Children. All wars, as is inevitable, give rise to many pathetic incidents, and our own Civil war was no exception in this respect, for after every battle came stories of individual heroism or sorrowful mementoes of the loyalty and devotion to, the Union which actuated our soldiers all through the contest. One melancholy incident that occurred after the battle of Gettysburg was the finding of the body of a soldier, unidentified, who had in his dead hand a picture representing three children, on which the s eyes of the dying soldier had been fastened to the’ last. The picture was brought to Phila-= delphla and the circumstances of it.’ finding widely advertised in the newspapers of the country. A photographic copy of it was also made, in the hop© that by its means the identity of the’ dead patriot would,, be ascertained and the whereabouts of his family discovered, says a writerjn the Philadelphia Enquirer. The copies were placed on sale and welre purchased in considerable numbers, as the proceeds, it was announced, were to be used for the benefit of the children if they were found, and failing that, were to be given to some benevolent institution for assisting soldiers. The broadcast publication of the facts relative to the finding of the soldier and the reproduction of the portraits of the children had the hoped- - x - k <4 Eyes of the Dying Soldier Had Been Fastened on the Picture to the Last. for result, and it was ascertained that the soldier was a sergeant in the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth regiment of New York state volunteers, named Hummiston, who before he enlisted had resided in Portville, N. Y. His widow recognized the pictures, the first reliable information ’ she had received of her husband’s death on the battlefieldt Details of his life were eagerly sought for and it soon became generally known that Sergeant Hummiston had been a’ harnessmaker by trade, though early jn life he had been a sailor, making several whaling voyages to the south Pacific. He enlisted after the call for 500,000 more volunteers, citizens of PortviMe assuring him that his family should not suffer during Ills He was with his regiment at the battle of Chancellorsville and his captain testified to his good conduct, soldierly qualities and courage during the engagement. Indeed, all who knew him in the army or in his home town also testified to' his sterling and lovable character. The original picture was sent to Mrs. Hummiston and the story was the means of creating a wide and heartfelt interest in the widow and the three children, with beneficial results to them all. * Vindicating Himself. In a political contest in the oil region of Pennsylvania a candidate who had been accused by his opponent of want of patriotism during the war vindicated hirqself in this fashion: “Fellow-citizens, my competitor has told you of the service he rendered in the late war. I will follow his example, and I shall tell you mine. He basely insinuates that I was deaf to the voice of honor in that crisis. The truth is, I acted an humble part in that memorable contest. When the tocsin of war summoned the chivalry of the country to rally to the defense of the nation, I, fellow-citizens, animated by that patriotic spirit that glows In every American bosom, hired a substitute for that war, and his bones, fellow-citizens, now lie bleaching on the field of battle at Cold Harbor.” The Colonel’s Vehicle. Pat was detailed at headquarters, and was all puffed up in consequence. A visitor came, and asked if the colonel was in. “He is not, sort. He’s afther havin’ a rids in his interim.” «.
