They looked at each other and shook their hoary heads and voted "No," and settled down to guard the sacred relics for another hundred years. Franklin founded that society "for the diffusion of knowledge," but It has be come a society for the concealment of knowledge. Requests from the Clark fam ily avail not. letters of introduction from historical societies do not count, creden tials from colleges and authors and ed itors are cast aside the supreme mission of the Philosophical Society is to keep this wisdom for another generation. It is well known these Journals have never been published in full. For a hundred years the carefully-prepared drawings of Lewis and Clark have remained unseen, for a hundred years their names have been ob scured, until the farthest limit of the wilderness explored has become a state with commerce and with cities that de mand a Lewis and Clark Centennial in honor of her heroic first explorers. Let Philadelphia slumber on there are giants in the West! Surprise, indigna tion, disappointment have happily faded away before the assurance that there are practically duplicates of ail that matter still in the hands of the Clark family. In the Tennessee Mountains. Away to the West and the South I sped, through Virginian lands, where Clark found his bride,, and where Jefferson planned the great expedition In the shades of Montlcello. One day our train climbed the Cum berland hills. I leaned to catch a glimpse of the storied "mountain whites" of Ken tucky. Sure enough there they were in the genuine old-time log cabins with big stone chimneys at either end, the mother with her spinning-wheel on the porch! How I longed to stop up there in the mountain solitudes and study my people, the people of a hundred years ago! At a little mountain hamlet a boy and two girls got on the train with a bundle and a basket. They felt of the cushions and sat down, gazing around the palatial car. The temptation to speak was great. "Do the people up here cook by the fire places?" I asked.. With a frightened glance, that a stranger should thus ad dress them, they answered: "Yes, but some are beginning to have stoves now. Back In the mountings they mostly have pot-hooks and Dutch ovens." "How delightful!" I exclaimed. "And do you know how to weave?" I said to one of the girls she was quite pretty. "Oh, ye3," she laughed. "I can spin or weave or knit a right smart stint in a day." "'Twould be right lnterestln to ye," ald the boy. His face was uncultured, his hair unshorn, but he added hospit ably: "We'd be right glad to have ye stop here in the mountings." "Do you have schools?" "Yes, we're gitting right good schools now, and some of our young folks go to Berea." Berea! The word electrified me! Back flew my mind to college days when a young man there walked like a Scandi navian god under the green old elms. His head was full of song and oratory. He carried off Greek prizes and gave Latin valedictories. They called him a genius and predicted great things for William Goodell Frost. Beforje he was 20, Frost was a Greek professor, and then he went abroad, as Longfellow did, to study in other lands. While In Athens there came the sum mons to the presidency of Berea. He came to the Southern college and spoke the winning words that brought In gold. He Is building new halls and where once a few score gathered, hundreds are thronging to a greater work than even Kentucky dreamsiof. President Frost has turned his special attention to the moun tain whites, "our contemporary ances tors," he calls them, who a hundred years ago were left stranded In the mountains and talk to this day in the dialect of Chaucer. I have met the Kentucky Colonel; he Is an honor to his country. 'The particu lar Colonel that I refer to In this in stance is Hon. Reuben T. Durrett, ot Louisville. He is an old man, with whito locks flowing over his shoulders. Like McLoughlln, he lives In a line old man sion in the heart of the city. The vast double parlors are literally lined with rare old books and historic paintings. Ev erybody that writes on Kentucky quotes Durrett. The wide hallways are orna mented with glass cases like pillars en closing the books, the kitchen Is full of books, and the butlery and stairways. I wondered where the family ate and slept. The hallways leading to the back door are filled with shelves and books. He took me to the barn, and It, too, was filled with books and pictures and relics of a bygone time. In an upper room in the barn he has a museum of priceless value. In it is the old flint-lock gun of Daniel Boone, and his knife and tomahawk and hunting shirt. m "How did you get all these things?" I asked. He only laughed and showed me more There lay the gun of George Rog ers Claik, with which he marched to the conquest of Illinois; on the walls were drawings of all the old forts of Kentucky made by Clark more than a hundred yean. ago. There were the pewter platters 01 our grandmothers, and spinning-wheels and four-post bedsteads that reached the celling. People come .to Colonel Durrett from all over the world to study his treasures. Roosevelt worked there on his "Winning the West." Cones came there to study old Mss. Literary societies of the whole Nation have borrowed of Colonel Durrett, and he never votes "No" to the seeker of knowledge. He Is the living Ben Franklin of Kentucky. "How did you come to make such a collection?" I asked. He smiled as a father would and a sage. "It began a long time ago. 50 years ago. My father left me a small library. When I graduated from college In 1849. I went to Europe. They were selling American books in Paris at so much a pound. I began to examine them and Invest. I went back again In 1855 and bought more books, but after that other collectors started In, and American books went up In value. Now they are almost unprocurable." In that library the Colo nel has every history ever published of Kentucky, Virginia, of the United States, and dozens of states. There is no other private collection like it In the world 50.C00 volumes in all. In those parlors the Fllson Club was organized, named for the first schoolmaster of Kentucky, and for years the Fllson Club has met there and issued its annual pamphlets on the history of Kentucky. In those old par lors genius has been nurtured. "In these very rooms," said the Colonel, "in these very rooms James Lane Alien had his literary beginning," and James Lane Al len, of Kentucky, is today the .foremost American writer. "And what are you going to do with It rail?" I ventured to Inquire. A slight shade passed over the ood man's face. "I have offered It to the City of Louis ville, and to the State of Kentucky. If they do not take it I suppose it will be sold at auction when I am gone!" Forbid the thought. Kentucky will hon or herself by keeping intact the great his torical collection within her border. I told Colonel Durrett what I was do ing, and the good old philanthropist pulled down his books and opened boxes and drawers unearthing treasures that would help me. He knows all about Lewis and Clark. When the old home on Mulberry Hill, where William Clark lived as a boy, was tumbling Into ruin, Colonel Durrett sent a painter out there to sketch and paint on canvas the historic old place as it looked in the days of its prime. When Clark's sister's house was deserted, the old Crophan mansion at Locust Grove, there, too, he sent his artist to preserve this landmark of earl Kentucky. With grateful heart, and laden with many a treasure I left the old Kentucky Colonel. But no; he seized his hat and cane, and went with me to my hotel, and left me there with this inspiring injunction: "If you need anything more let me know. You are doing a great work, a great work!" I can fancy It was so that McLoughlln talked in the early days of pld Oregon. He loved to help people. I had also let ters In Louisville to J. Stoddard Johnston, son of the famous Albert Sidney John ston, and his family. Colonel Johnston's wife's mother Is .Mrs. Merrlwether Lewis Clark, widow of Captain Clark's oldest son. Mrs. Clark had heard of my com ing, and in the most gracious manner possible threw a whole flood of light over many points that I had not understood. She Is a lively raconteur, and from a well-stored memory could give Just those delicious narrations that go to make a story live. At Indianapolis. From Louisville I went to Indianapolis. "You must go to Indianapolis. There is a man there who knows more about the Clarks than anybody else In the world," so everybody said. So, well fortified with letters, I journeyed to the old home, of Governor English at Indianapolis. Some of you remember his name he ran for the Vice-Presidency on the ticket with Hancock not many years ago. The first thing I wanted to see in In dianapolis, I saw from my carriage win dow, the statue of George Rogers Clark, In Monument Square, and looming loftily beside it the greatest soldiers' monument In the world. I saw soldiers' monuments in Boston, Washington, Buffalo, Detroit, but this is colossal. It cost half a million dol lars. Inside the great shaft Is an electric light plant for the square, and a drive well and pump that gushes an eternal fountain of living water with the rour of Willamette. Wheeling in a great circle half way round Monument square stands Hotel English, the home of the old Governor of Indiana. But he la lately dead, and his son, William E. Eng lish, greeted me as cordially as his father could have done. Young English is very public-spirited and popular in In dianapolis. He was a captain with Roose velt in Cuba, and In the recent campaign stumped the state with him for McKinley. His late father was a great admirer of George Rogers Clark, the brother of our William Clark of the expedition, and spent many years collecting materials for his life. At last the work was Issued In two great volumes, and then he died. Indiana is a rich field for Clark inves tigation, the air is full of It. They have a Clark day In some of the schools, and the tiniest child knows the story of the conquest of the Illinois. After a profitable and memorable day in the beautiful city of Indianapolis, I crossed the prairies to St. Louis. There the same old Southern hospitality of Louisville greeted me; at once I felt at home in St. Louis. In this city, so many years the home of Governor Clatk after he returned from the expedition, I found his grandson, John O'Fallon Clark, United States Treasurer in the custom house. Every morning at 7 o'clock he is at his desk, but in spite of busy days, Mr. Clark found time to hunt up rare old books and pictures that I needed. His very heme Itself would delight an Oregonlan. There stands his grand father's old secretary, depository for half a century of historic documents of the West, the newest West. About it rests the old flintlock gun that accompanied Lewis and Clark across the Rockies, the tne water gets Pearline ient to use Washing est and mv &&.3SS&&27& DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

The whole house i full of his toric plotures, for in art Mr. Clark Is a connoisseur. Mr. Clark's charming wife la Beatrice Choteau, granddaughter of tha noted founder of St. Louis, and so two historic families are thus united. Mr. Clark is one of the St. Louis World's Fair Commissioners that have just returned from Buffalo with many, important questions decided. With 516.000, 000 and more In sight, the Indiana Pur chase Exposition bids fair to- outdo any thing the world has ever seen. Of many, sites for the fair under discussion, one Is the old farm of Clark at Maracasta. St. Louis Is full of historic suggestion, as in fact all our cities are, with, streets and avenues named for the pioneer city builders. There Is a hint of the old French time and French names and French taste, dashed through end through with American energy. To tell you of my visits to tha historical rooms, the libraries and to still more interesting octogenarians who can tell of the old time would make this letter too long, but be assured, St. Louis Is wideawake. And I, for my part, have felt free to tell them that "Oregon will be there" at the great celebration. EVA EMERY DYE. CAUSED BY "SOONERS." Feeling Among Indians Arapahoe Reservation on the DENVER, June 4. General Merrlam, commander of the Department of the Colo rado, today received the following tele gram from Lieutenant-Colonel Lee, at Fort Washakie, Wyo.: "Fort Washakie, June 3. It Is reported today that an Arapahoe sheep-herder was killed last Friday on the reservation 30 miles north of the agency by a white sheep-herder. This. If true, has no con nection with reported disturbances, though It might incense some of the Arap ahoes. The agent of the reservation has heard nothing of the matter, and every thing is aparently quiet." This is the only advice that has yet reached General Merrlam regarding the threatened outbreak of the Arapahoes against the settlers In the Lander Val ley. Troop E, First Cavalry, Is stationed at Fort Washakie, and General Merrlam believes they will be a sufficient force to meet any emergency. No orders have been Issued to send any other troops to the scene of the trouble. General Merrlam said that the ill feeling among the Indians is due to the presence of "sooners,1 wno have gone Into that country in anticipa tion of the opening of a portion of the reservation to settlers. Mnrderer Killed by Indlnn Police. LANDER, Wyo., June 4. Word was brought In tonight of the killing of the sheep-herder who killed Frank Armajo, the Indian on the reservation Sunday, by the Indian police this morning 20 miles from the Muddy. Colonel Lee has gone to Investigate the affair. All Is quiet. UNGER CONSPIRACY CASE. Francis Wayland Brown Toole the Stnnd in Ills Own Defense. CHICAGO, June 4. Dr. E. P. Noel, who conducted the autopsy on the body of Marie Defenbach, was put on the stand in the Unger Insurance conspiracy case today and declared his belief that tho , girl died from dysentery. On cross-examination, witness admitted that cyanide of potassium might be administered in such a way that ho odor would arise. The testimony for the defence, which began with Dr. Noel's statement, is ex pected to be in soon, and Judge Turley said today he thought the case would go to the jury Friday night. Francis Wayland Brown took the stand in his own defense after the court had listened to extended arguments by At torney C. S. Darrow, who wanted to take Brown's case from the jury but was over ruled at every point. Brown's story was strikingly similar to that told by Frank H. Smiley, who has entered a plea of guilty. Arrested on Urlbe-Urlbe's Order. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 4. Luis Morel Munoz was arrested today on ad vices from New York.
