Ed Ledger: I thought that a short account of-my late visit to the in: dians might be of interest to some of your readers. It is now over 50 years 6inco I first began to feel interested in the mission bauSo and 15 years since I first engaged in the mission work, among the Shawnees; then living about ten miles north1 west of where Kansas City is now located, and after spending 3 1-3 years thei I retnrned to Ohio, but in 1857 1 moved west and -ettled near Americus with the object in view of improving the condition of the Kaw Indians. I still feel much interested in the elevation of the In dians, and that being the case I feel like visiting them occasionally. The past summer I visited some of the OttawaSj Modouks, Wyandots and Shawnees and had tho pleasure of visiting four of thoso that went to school at the friends mission amongst the Shawnees while I was Superintendent, I found them quite well fixed. I also had the pleasure of attending the Grand river monthly meeting which was composed mostly of Indians.

Friends, we had a good well conducted meeting, several of our Missionary's were in attendance who have been very successful. It was also my privilege to visit several of those who are proving up their Indian blood or their rights amongst the Cherokees and quite a number have settled near Alton and Bluejacket stations the past fall. I also visited Haskell Institute or Indian training school near Lawrence where I found Gov. Robertson, and nearly 400 Indian chil dren who spoke well of their care takers and especially of Gov. Robertson.

I had the pleasure of talking to the children, incouraging them to love to work and stud so as to make good useful men and women so that when they returned to their people they might be a help to them in im proving their condition. Ihat they should gel this fixed in th'iir minds so that the- would not fall back into die habits and the old Indian is ot great importance. On the 20 of November I visited Chaloco ndiun training school, six miles south of Arkansas City, it is nice- locateuj with a large barn and pas tare land adjoining our state, with well arranged stone uldings of a substantial character! lucre was near 150 Indian children in this school and it is likely that they will increase the number to 200. At this lace I attended meeting and Sabbath school, and also talked to the chil dren, incouraging them to habits of industry, also to put away all bad habits and love to be good children who love our Dear Saviour and Heavenly Father. At this school I had the pleasure of meeting Stephen G.

Elliott, who formerly lived near Americus, he has been much engag ed in the establishing ot Sabbath schools for several years, his home is Aurora, Lawrence be has become quite wealthy by the dis covery of mines on his land, aDd the royalty he gets I think he told me. is seventy-live dollars per day, he appeare to be an earnest christian. On the 21st Abraham Means who lives four miles southwest of Arkan sas City, Jesse Emde and Renjaman and Henry Musser, from Bell Springs Dickinson Kansas, and myself started on a visit to some of the In dians in the Indian Territory. In the evening we reached the residence of John Cooper, a white man, who had married Joseph James daughter. Rosana, we very kindly enter tained, thev had raised a largo field of corn which yielded nearly '8f bushels to the acre, but as we went south and east tiic drouth was greater and the rest of the Kaws raised but little or no corn, and I do not see how they can get along withont some help from the government, which I hope they will receive.

On the 22d we went to the Kaw agancy where we were very kindly received by the trader, Kobert l'uckett- and ins wife We visited the school and found near 50 children in the school with a professed christian woman terfcher, who appeared quite interested her work. We spoke words of en couragement to teacher and children. The children of this tribe are nearly all in school and several of them are in the states going to school. This tribo is said now to number IDS, they get but small annuity; they have nearly 1,000,000 acres of land and lease half of it to cattle men. We went on to Frank Lessops to stay ever night, where we were very kindiy accomodated.

On 23d, we went about 30 miles to the Agency, and visited the school there that evening, and found about 120 children, whom we also encouraged to press forward and become nse'fuf men and women, and the employes to be faithful in the discharge of their duties, so as to show forth the com- ion anu pleasures oi tne christian life. We found that the Catholics have also opened a school in tho village, with two Priest andi two Mother Superiors; this school we also visited and found near 20 children. Many the Osages prefer having the Catholics to educate their children as they came among them near 50 years ago, and many have gone to their school at Osage Mission, in Neosho Kansas. COXCLtPEP XF.ST WEEK. FROM AMERICUS TO CALIFORNIA We left Americus Nov.

17th and stai-tefl from Emporia on the Santa Fe at 4:30 p. m. on the same day. And right here wc wish to say, "that many a deceived and disgusted passenger declared that tho above railroad had received the last cent they would ever get from them." The agents of the road sold lo the people first class and excursion sleeping car tickets; informing them that every through train had excursion sleeping cars attached, but ail was a delusion and even the ladies, with small chil dren, whohad first class tickets, were forced to ride in the dirty smoking cars, crowded in as close as sheep, both da- and night. We crossed western Kansas in tho night and at day-break crossed the Arkansas river into Colorado, which is all a dreary dry desert.

At La Junta some of the land is irrigated and a few green spots are to be seen. There, our train was cut into and run in two sections. The country became more and more a desert untill we reached the foot of the old Rockies at the lively town of Trinidad, where we commenced climbing the mountains, went through a tunnel ono mile long, and down tho other side with lightning speed into New Mexico, through some very fine mountain scenery. We soon got down on the cattle plains of the territory where we saw the cow-boys round- ng up and caring for cattle. At Wayou Mount, darkness overtook us, and we did not see the Los Vegas country as we so much wished to, and being tired, tried to sleep, but without success, on account of a fe? noisy drunken men.

We Kansas people do not appreciate the blessings of prohibition until we come face to lace with the saloons and gambling hells of tho west, and their disg.isting effects. At 2 o'clock a. Saturday morning wo arrived at Albuquerque, and at 5 o'clock, wo again started in two sections with. plenty of room in good clean cars, on tho Atlantic Pacific railroad, and went through a very barren volcanic covered with sand and sage, with ranges of very quaint looking bluffs of all colors and fantastic shapes all around ns. 'We passed an ancient Indian stronghold, romantically situated on a rocky hillf while our train stopped for water the poor half naked Indians came down and tried to sell us goats milk.

Coolidgo where we stopped for dinner, is a large New Mexico town, composed of an eating house, postoffice and four or five saloons for the last fifty miles we passed through a barren valley from 10 to 50 miles wide, with red cedar covered hills south of us and a range of lofty Cathedral-front looking walls of different colored rocks, thousands of feet high north of us. After crossing the continental divide, 7,257 feet high, near Coolidge, wc went whirling down tho Pacific slope between groat walls of rock, round tall spires with coders on top, deep side canions and eaves, and human-like statutes of different colored rock hundreds of feet the Colorado river dowrt to Winslow, where at sundown we" stopped for supper, there our train of twelve coaches, three baggage and one express car was again divided into two sections and we were soon puffing np the mountain sicro again, with the black rocks hanging over us on our right, and the' dizey gorge of Canion Diablo on our left. Flag Staff and Williams are again tho highest points, about 5,000 feet. At midnight wc were again rushing down the western mountain, with airbrakes continually grinding: against the car wheels. At Peach? Springs the coming dawn again-showed ns the terrible desolation of desert valleys and barren moun tains.

morning at clock we crossed the Colorado river into California at the little town of Nedles, where we stopped for breakfast and bought trifles of" the 3Iojave Indians, who raise a littlo corn and watermelons, by irrigation, but, white residents informed us that it ia almost impossible to raise anything on account of the intense heat in summer, even on the river with," irrigation. The houses all have double roofs, in order to make it cooler, from here to the coast rang-, west of that it is always cool ami pleasant. On Monday morning after arriving at our destination, wc were most pleasantly surprised at the marvelous change from1 waste and wild chaos, to tho mo'st bixurant, tropical," grandeur of rich southern dime, with bcautifuf Eden Homes nestling among tho" loaded vine and fig tree and sparkling" fountains. But one thing we wish to say to our laboring friends and-that is, vhere yon are, tbis-beautiful land is filled now to overflowing with poor people" sacking" work in vain, with not even a plat tirlrty their weary head at night." C. We liavc opened by tliclavgcst and finest stock of goods in our line ever brought to Emporia.

We appreciate the big trade we have always had from Americus, and will do our bcf.t to please yon. Call and See Us. I. D. FOX CO.
