ST. IjOUIH, SCO. How a Fun-Blooded Indian Became a Millionaire. A correspondent of The Missouri Republican it Neosho writes as follows: Occasionally the Institutioa of a lawsuit, the construction of a railroad, or the transfer of real estate brings before the public men whose history would form an interesting romance; but few of this class have had a more varied and pecular experience than that of Mathias Splitlog, the "millionaire Indian," whose recent sale of seventy acres of land for $56,000 in Kansas, ear Kansas City, caused so much comment In the local papers. Mr.

Splitlog is a full-blooded Wyandotte Indian, and was born in an Indian village in Canada, and shortly afterward moved to Ohio. While a boy he was apprenticed to a carpenter and millwright, and, although his wages were only $7 per month, young Splitlog thought he was getting rich. He imbibed a love for machinery and inventions, which has caused him to lend a helping hand to many a poor fellow who had a useful invention which only needed money to develop it and make it pay. Splitlog's first venture was to build a steamboat, which he did in company with his brother. They launched the boat upon the Undoubtedly the Greatest Railway Bridge in the World.

Eeigbt years have not yet passed since the world heard with horror that the great viaduct across the Tay had been blown down by a storm on the night of Dec. 28, and a passing train full of holiday-makers plunged in the black waters below. Yet with such energy has the work of reparation been pushed forward that to-day the government inspection of the new bridge will commence; so that this great link iu the railway communications of the north may in a few weeks be completely restored. The old bridge was begun in June, 1871, and completed ou the 30th of August, 1S77, though not opened until the 31st of the following May; so that it stood for barely eighteen mouths. The vanished structure is said to have cost 350,000.

This fact apart from the disastrous loss of life which its fall entailed, and the doubt as to the possibility of constructing a stable viaduct across such on estuary might well have discouraged the railway company from persevering in their project. Indeed, there were not wanting alarmists who declared that to re-erect the viaduct was simply tempting Providence and wasting the shareholders' money two sins for which in north Britain there is no room for repentance. Cheapening1 a Poem. The editor knew that he was a poet the moment he opened the door. He was pale and tall and thin, with tangled hair and wild eyes.

Proof positive of his affliction was given when he drew a roll of manuscript from his pocket and said: I have, ahem, a little poem here dashed off in an idle hour. I am a contributor to the Bingfield Battle- Axe. tre "What is your poem about asked the editor. 'There was a vacant quarter column in his "make-up" that day and he was strangely short of "slush."

Uncle Sam soon become jealous of the boys, and confiscated the boat ou a charge of smuggling. In 1S42 the Wyandottes, who were the last of the Indian tribes then iu Ohio, by the treaty of the Upper Sandusky, ceded to the United States their lands iu that state, anl received in exchange land in what is now "Wyandotte county, Kansas. Iu 1S43 Splitlog came west with some of his tribe, and found, after his arrival at West Port Landing (now Kansas City), that he only had 50 cents in his pocket. Re induced an old Indian to his security for the price of an ax. With this ax he cut cordwood for the steamboats at the rate of 25 cents per cord, and after paying for the ax, which cost S3, he soon saved enough to buy a pony, shortly afterward we find iim with a herd of horses.

About 1S50 Split-log was married to the granddaughter if the eld man who went his security for the of the ax, and shortly afterward 'he began to build a mill. At this time he had no money. to pay for labor, so that he did the work himself. He selected the out and hauled the logs, and then had a ''raising;" that is, had his neighbors come and help him raise the building. He finished the mill himself, with everything but the burrs.

These would cost at that $50, and. Splitlog had no money; still he was determined not "to give up the idea of running a mill."

Splitlog, learning of this, contracted with the owner to pay him $i5 for the buns and take up himself, which he eventually did after much trouble and hard work, and having got the burrs out of the river it took but a short time to get ready to start the mill. The machinery was rigged for horse-power, and the day that Spliiiog started he hitched in eight unbroken horses from his.herd and earned 85 cents in cash, and in the evening he gave this money to his wife and told her to go to Northrups' (Splitlog's present bankers iu City) and buy them something good to eat, as he now had that much. money that he did not need.
