Perhaps I had peculiar interest in seeing the program for this meeting of the Social Science club, as I was curious to know the title of ray own paper, for I must confess that I had trusted to the kindness of our president to supply it, which, by the way, I consider a rer'y unfair proceeding on my part, since it imposes upon her the unpleasant and difficult task of coining a title so comprehensive that it will cover all possible cntin-gencies and yet mean nothing in particular.

The president will appreciate that a guilty conscience forces this confession from me. I was invited to write upon some phase of early Kansas history, but I could not name it, you know, until I had found a phase suited to the capabilities of one who is not an old setiler, and that took a good deal of time although it has proven a pleasant and profitable task to me. I wish I could give thorcofyou who have not visited the State library and the rooms of the Kansas Historical Society.some Idea of the value of the col lections there to one in search of such a theme or of matter te build it upon They are delightful loitering places for the Btudent a visit to the cap-itol will richly repay aii3'one who undertakes the task, of studying upon our lo cal history. All the books ever written concerning Kansas, and by Kansans. are accessible there, files of all the newspa pers and periodicals ever published In the State are preserved there, besides many interesting and valuable relics, and it is appropriate, it seems to me, that our association shottld feel a lively interest in adding to these departments It was here, in looking upon the records that will one day be so priceless to our descendants, and upon the massive foundation of the building, which, when completed, will be one of the handsomest and most substantial State capitols in the Union, that a question occurred to me which it will be the purpose of this short paper merely to you, for further answer to the sources that have been so enjoyable to me.

Before Kansas, what? In the minds of those of us who are citizens of Kansas tc-day, the phrase, early history, re fers to the territorial period of Kansas' existence, when the border wars between the free-state men and the immigrants from Missouri and the Southern States were waged, when husbandi kissed their wives in farewell everytime they went to tne field or to a political meeting, when women were called upon to be her oines every day, and children were told, as were the children of our revolutionary forefathers, to grow up and be strong to defend the land of their adoption. The familiar expression, "a new State like make us leel as though we had been cut out of whole cloth and set down in the geographical center of the United States of America in 1S54, the time of our organization as a territory, and our minds are not accustomed to go back much beyond the "fifties," the story of which stormy decade has been so accurately told by one of our number, and which has been so often told, and so well told, that I will ask you to go back a little farther and picture this region in your minds before Kansas and its civilization began. For it was here then, as now, for the most part, broad, green, rolling, fertile prairies, and ten years before we were taken under the protection of the Mormon pilgrims made their memorable march across the wilderness, starting from a point very near the present site of Atchison, in '44, journeying through Kansas full of hope and faith that the promised land would be reached in safety and would yield them protection and riches and happiness, toiling over the alkali plains, crippled and starving, and at last, after months of suffering, gaining the point which may now be reached in a few days. Two years earlier, in 1S42, General Freemont Dassed up the Kansas river and camped where Lawrence now stands, on the 10th of June, and crossed the river at or near Topeka on the 14th, whn the prairies and river groves were clothed in the fresh green of early summer, and he told Jessie, whom all western women honor, that he had found the garden spot of the world. Kit Carson, the famous scout of the plains, was General Freemont's guide upon this expedition, and while they wer crossing Kansas he related the story of his first encounter with the Indians.

It was in 1S33 at Pawnee Rock, which, you know, is out on the plains near Lamed. The fort and the town and the railroad have hewn stone from this pile until it is now but an irregular mound. At that time, however, it was a formidable and precipitous mass forming an almost impregnable fortress long as the intrenched party was well armed, and for many years it was considered the most dangerous point on the pains. The trails of many trills centered there as they went back and forth upon their hunting and waring expeditions, and fiom that stronghold the most successful raids were made upon the freighters who traveled the Santa Fe 'rail. Kit Carson was but 15 years old when he killed his first Indian at this Historic point.

Col. Iuman says he had joined an expedition commanded by an igent of one of the great fur trading companies ot that period and was making 'lis first transit of the plains iu the capacity of driver lor the extra animals md general utility lad for party, hi3 du a day's march this side of the rock, they were surprised by half a dozen painted and mounted Pawnees who leaped out of the tall grass in the river bottom, where they had beeu lying concealed and by Ehaking their robes and uttering fiendish yells, attempted to stampede the herd, but the traders' rifles were too much for them and they were inglorous ly routed. The next night camp was made at Pawnee Rock, and after their recent experience, the party of course took everv precaution. Several sentries were posted on top, and Kit among oth ers, around the base of the rock wher the animals were picketed to graze. The tired boy watched and waited nearly al night without a wink of sleep, when, one of the guards gave the alarm and at that instant Kit saw an Indian rise up eut of the grass twenty steps away from him.

lie was already a good shot, and the Indian had no more than risen up until he was laid low again, by Kit's rifle. lie reported to the colonel in command, the animals were all turned into the cor ral which had been formed of the wagons the night before, and everything made ready for a desperate encounter. But the Indians had gone, not another sign of them appeared that night, and daylight reyealed Kit's own mule killed by a center shot, instead of a dead Indian. It was probably th last mistake of the kind that Kit ever made; but this joke on his bravery almost fatally dis tracted the attention of the band from the real attack which began before sun rise aud lasted almost three days, during all of which time the mules were con fined in the corral without food or water, and the men were almost exhausted from their ceaseless watching and defense. At midnight of the third day they marched to the creek for water; taking their wagons and everything with them.

The desperate animals rushed into the stream with the heavy wagons pluHging behind them while the powerless drivers vainly tried to control them, making a scene, no doubt, as well worthy to be the subject of a great artist as the sketch by Michael Angelo of the Florentine soldiers who were surprised by the enemy, while bathing, for before our little band had reached the opposite bank of the creek they were attacked upon both sides by the Indians, but a gallant charge from the refreshed drivers si lenced them all, and the train moved or in peace. From this battle 1S33 the great sand stone promontory was named Pawnee Rock. That seems a long time ago even to those of us who are middle aged, and yet a year before that the first white child was born in Kansas at the Baptist Shawnee Mission, four miles west of the Missouri line, in what is now Johnson county, Kan. Colonel A. S.

Johnson, of Topeka, whose family name the county bears, is the citizen who claims the proud distinction of being the first na tive son of a State now peopled by a million souls. The particular in which the general government had most to do with the re gion ow called Kansas, during the quarter of a century previous to our or ganization was in its negotiations with the Indians in regard to lands. Grants of large tracts were made various tribes, in return for which they ceded other portions or agreed to "move on" and leave room for the encroaching white settler. When these transactions shall have all been written they will not make an honorable record in all instances for the succession of "great fathers" at Washington, and their legion of lieuten ants, but there will constitute the inevitable decree that that civilization engraft ed when it set foot upon the shores of both the eastern and western seas, and between which growing legions the poor Indian will be crushed, and the only refuge left him will be the happy hunting ground of his faith. It was in 1S25 that the Santa Fe trail was established by the government.

Major Sibley was appointed by congress to survey a wagon road from Missouri to Santa Fe, and he started westward from Independence, MoM presumably over a trail that had been used for cen turies by the Indians. They had no vehicles, of course, and traveled in single file oyer the great expase, like the buffalo in its migratory journeys, whose many narrow paths crossed the Indian trail at right angles and stretched away to tho northward with the spreading pasturage of spring, and away to the southward as it receded again in autumn. The few that were slain then by the Indians were not missed from the innumerable herds, but the hayoc of the white man has, in a fe years, almost obliterated this monarch of the plains, and travelers from one terminous of the old Santa Fe trail te the other rarely catch a sight of the buffalo now-a-days. The line of this great route has been wiped out by cultivation, but its history constitutes one of the most romantic 'in the west, and it its legions could be written they would reveal a wealth of tragedy and pathos undreamed of by the frontiersmen who have ploughed up bleaching bones and rude tomahawks at its side. In 1S19 the first steamboat passed up the Mississippi under command of Stephen H.

Long, from whom Long's peak In and in 1S0G discovered the peak that bears his. name. Most of us remember the Pike's peak excitement, and yet i was seen by an American in 180G, and in 1S03 wis ignominiously sold, along with Kansas and all the rest of the world lying between the headwaters of the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico to the United States, by France, for the paltry sum of about $23,000,000. Spain had given us back to France only the year before, after we had been generally ced ed to her by France in 1762, the 6ame day in which that proud nation gave all the country east of the Mississippi to England. The unknown quantity west of the Mississippi seems to have been a sort of shuttlecock between France and Spain for many years until it finally became a part ef the Nation that will one day count its wealth and population equally divided by the Mississippi val ley.

The bright particular spot now known as Kansas was probably first discoved by Coranado, who commanded an expedi tion about 1540 that penetrated from Mexioo to the northern boundary af Kansas, passing through the counties of Barbour, Kingman, Reno, Harvey, Mc pherson, Marion, Dickinson, Davis, Ri ley, Pottawatomia and Xemaha. Mr. D. W. Wilder, whose researchos into Kansas history are so well known, says Coranada left Quivira or Kansas, in April.

1542, 350 years ago last month, on his return to Mexico, and said when he reached there that he had traversed mighty plains and sandy heaths, smooth and wearisome and bare of wool, that then he had found productive earth. strong and black and well watered by streams, and all the way full of crooked backed oxen. This is said to be the first reference in American history to the buffalo. It will be remembered by you that Coranado went in search of the seven cities, whose capital was said to be as civilized a any European city by the old missionary who told the story upon which the expedition was founded, but though he searched long and diligently, crossing and recrossingthe great region from west to east and north to south and backjagain, he found nothing but Indian villages and a great wilderness. Per haps the old Franciscan was a prophet and foresaw the great State of Quivira, as it was to be, as it is now, with its sev en cities, Leavenworth, Atchison, Wy andotte, Lawrence, Topeka, Emporia and Wichita, ultiplied by many more throughout the Arkansas valley and along the golden belt.

Who knows that we have not been the child ol fate ever since Coranado marched straight from the Pacificlcoast into the heart of Kansas when seeking for the fabled land. Who knows but that the finger of destiny had marked us long before the conquest of Mexico, when the wild tribes of the west had de generated from their ancestry in the lost Atlantis, knew nothiug of the wild men on the eastern shore, and from ocean to ocean this fair land was peopled only by a race who possessed no traditions, even, of the men before them, who built the wonderful monuments on either side of us, the mounds of the Central States and the pyramids of Central America. Did these architects meet on the battle ground of Kansas and annihilate each other, and what has become them? Thousands of years ago when the ancient Aryan, who, we are told, took his rise at the apex of the world, in the old, far off, mysterious Thibet, began to send forth his conquering hordes to coyer the earth the blossoming prairies of Kansas were here, waiting his coming, bearing in their bosom harvests for a multitude.
