city of Bowie, in
Northern Texas,
there is a sharp
point of land
rising abrnptly
above the prairie,
and known to all
the surrounding
country as
Queen’s Peak. Its
history is closely associated with that
of a .woman who is declared by the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat to have come
pretty near to being queen in reality
as well as in name.
It was in 1866 that Ellen Quinn
went from Western North Carolina
to -this part of .Texas. As would be.
Judged from her name, she had Irish
blood in her veins, bnt it was mixed
with a copious strain of Indian, de
rived from the.Cherokees that still in

Mountains. -Just under what circum
stances she left her native State no
one seems to remember, but soon
after she announced her intention to
open a school for the benefit of the
surrounding, country. . It. .seemed as

were very few inhabitants to get the
good of it; What few men there
were, however, got together and put
np a house for her. It was the first
sohoolhonse ever put up in Montague
County, and was made of rough
logs out from the timber surrounding
the base of what is now known as
Queen’s Peak.’ It was .situated about
hajf way up on the southern side in
order to protect it from the cold
lor them winds of winter. There
irere several reasons why this site was
shosen. - Wood was near at hand for
building the bouse and supplying the
ires in winter, which items were very
important ones to the Texans of those
lays. Water could he obtained from
i spring close at hand, and this also
ns not to be slighted. Moreover,
the Peak, though only a hundred or
io-feet above the surrounding prairie,
jras .the highest point for. miles
vro.und, and from its summit a watch
lould be kept for the approach of
Indians or other hostile characters,
from it signals could he given in case
if danger.
School opened with fonr pupils, all
if -whom came, from the only house
vithin two -miles of the place. Soon,
lowever, it began to increase as the
!act of its existence began to be noised
ibroad through the country! Grown
men who had come to Texas when
boys and who had lived on the frontier
without educational advantages would
some to school to Miss Quinn in order
to redeem their lost time. They came
from anywhere within 100 or 200 miles.
Most of them ‘could come for only a
few months consecutively, at times
when there was little to dp on-farm or
ranch, but they put in good work
when they did come. For some months.
;he attendance would run as high as"
thirty and then again it would drop,
down to three or four. Tuition was
uniformly $3 per month. It must have
been an interesting sight to see the
little room'crowded with big, bearded
sowboys " poring over tbeir books.
They probably had spurs jingling at
their heels and big six-shooters dang
ling from their belts, bnt the black
haired little Indian-Irish woman was
mistress for all that. On one occa
sion a big Bix-footer refused to obey
3ome command shehad given him.' Go
ing to the flour saok in which she kept
i collection of her miscellaneous be
longings, she gathered up a handful of
black pepper. She had probably pre
pared this for just ’ such emergencies,
ind before her recalcitrant pupil knew
what was coming she threw the pepper
square into -his eyes. The bully sprang
to liis feet with a roar of pain, while
- the rest of the school shonted up
roarious approval of the act of disci
pline. Then a dozen of the devotees
of learning grabbed and carried him-
bodily to the foot of the Peak. He
was then informed that if he ever en
tered the schoolroom again or in any
way molested the teacher there wonld'
bo a feast for buzzards and coyotes.-
For a while’Ellen Quinn was troubled
by occasional travelers who, .in pass
ing through the country,. wonld use
her schoolhouses as a lodging place for
the night.. One night, just as such a
party were pushing in the door, a roar
like that of a cannon started them, and
on investigation, it’was fonncl that a
rusty old musket-had discharged about
a double handful of .slugs into the roof
with force; enough to. have killed a
dozen men had they been in the way.
From that time-on no nocturnal in
truder ever entered .that sohoolhonse
by the door, and os windows had not
yet coine into! fashion’in that part of
Texas thb house W03 free from intru
sion.
The teacher always had a loaded rifle
sitting in the corner of the schoolroom
during school hours, and had it strung
behind her saddle ns she rode. She
was a fearless rider and an unerring
shot.
After the school.at • thi
been going on for about t
singular state oi affairs begi
to come into being. The
school had gone ont over a
rounding country. She
her-lto
settle all disputes, and would always
respect her decision. If any given
man felt inclined to resist her decis
ion such feeling was useless, as every
other man -felt honor bound to help
enforce it. If a question arose as to
the ownership of stock the parties
would bring the cattle or horses in
volved up to the Peak. Each claimant
would state his side of the case and
call on-anyone else h$ might choose to
substantiate it. Then came the de
cision from which there was no ap
peal. If a man was suspected oi steal
ing stock or of committing murder the
process was the same. A case could
be disposed of completely in thirty
minutes. On one occasion a mere boy
was brought up under accusation ol
murder. The case wasclear aginsthim,
and the verdict ran as follows:
“Well, he ought to die, but he’s
nothing but a kid. Give -him a pony
and let him go, but hang him if you
find him within forty: miles'of this
place by to-morrow morning."
The hoy left.
Meantime a natural metamorphosis
took place iu the name of the place
where she lived..- From Quinn’s Peak
it was changed to Queen’s. Peake, the
sehoolmaam being by that time uni
versally ino wn as the queen.^
. Her death, however, was as it should
have been, the climax and crowning’
point, of her life. It was .all that was
necessary to make her subjects worship
her, not almost, but altogether.
During the fall of 1S59 the Co-
mhnehes began once more to make
raids- through this portion of Texas.
The Comanches have, been called the
Tshmaelities of the "West, their hand
being against every man’s'hand and
every man’s hand against them. The
queen-had formerly acquired almost
03 much influence over the Indians as
she had over the whites, and in peri
ods of open Indian hostility this in
fluence stood her in good stead. The
Indians seemed to consider thathei
Indian blood made heir one of them
selves, and so allowed her to pass back
ward and forward to and from their
camps unmolested. Though a Chero
kee, she had soon acquired the lan
guage of the Comanohes. For a long
time her influence' was successful in
protecting the settlers' around the
Peak from any disturbance, but on one
occasion it failed. All the men foi
forty miles had. gon9 some distance
below to Clear Creek Canon, toward
which locality it had been, reported
that a large band of hostiles were ad
vancing. While -the conntry was thus
unprotected, a fourteen-year-old boy
came dashing up on his pony and
called to the queen that a baud oi
about twenty Comanshes were coming
as fast as they conld travel. He
begged her go meet them and pacify
them. :
No,” she'answered sadly; “it’s no
use this time. Their blood’s up be
cause our men have gone to Clear creeli
and they won’t be pacifled. You ridt
like the wind and get all the women
and children hid in the creek bank.
I’ll hold the Indians long enonghfoi
that.”
Even as she was speakingthe Indians
came in sight over arise in the prairie.
They would willingly have passed liei
by without molestation, hut she was
determined they should not. Taking
deliberate aim at long range she fired
and one Indian tumbled from his horse.
Then she sprang upon the topmost
stone of the Peak and, standing at fall
height, sent ont a ringing yell and de
risively waved her gun. The boy
waited to see no more, but keeping tbs .
wooded base of the Peak between him
self and bis pursuers, he dashed off, as
he had been told.
-No one will ever know-the details ol
what happened after thi3. There was
a natural barricade of stones on top ol
the Peak, and keeping behind it sh<
had the advantage over her foes in the
open prairie. The Indians seem finally
to have taken positions inside the tim
ber around the Peak, and then gra
dually to have drawn their lines nearei
the summit. Doubtless they were un
able to tell whether it was defended
by one person alone or by more.
Doubtless, when they had drawn nearer
and were preparing to make the last
fatal rush, she dropped’her rifle and -
used her heavy six-shooter with deadly
effect. Certain it is that she was game
to the last. Finally, the last cruel-
rush.was made, and the brave teacher
queen had given her life, for those of
her subjects.
All this took time, and time was
valuable just then. There were not
more than three or four families then
living within several miles of the Peak,
and theboy messenger had ample time
to notify them and get them hidden
in the timbered bank of the creek. It
must have been after the nightfall
when the summit of the Peak was fin
ally stormed, and about, 10 o’clock a
force'of men came galloping in from
Clear Creek, having heard of the
threatened attack. The Indians still
remaining left under the cover of
night. Next morning the settlers vis
ited the Peak. There, behind a big
bowlder, on the very summit they
found Ellen- Quinn, the prairie queen,
stiff and cold in death. Her body had
been pierced by half a dozen bullets
and her scalp had been taken. Bifle
and six-shooter were, both missing.
Around the barricade, down in the
timber at its base, and out in the open
prairie, they "counted the bodies of
eleven Comanches. That told the
story.
No death in the whole of this part
of Texas could have moved the people
as did hers. She conld have escaped
by "merely doing nothing, but she de
liberately ohose to die that the lives of
some fifteen/ or .twenty; defenseless
women aud children might; be .saved.
It was decided to bury her and raise
a. monument to her on the Peak’s
mound,-on which sbo labored in the
school room and on which/ she • died. •
Everyone for miles around attended
the funeral. There was no/minister to
preach, but it was a solemn affair not
withstanding. The body was buried
on the very summit.aud above it - the
men piled up a vast heap of rough
stones. These may be seen there to
day.
A new set of people have filled up
tbe surrounding country. ' About all
they know about, the matter is that
these stones mark the grave oi an In
dian named Queen, who was killed on
the snmmit and alter whom the Peak
was named.

Beports received at Washington
from the subcommittee on agriculture,
-which s investigating the low price of
cotton, are to the effect that the com

tigation in the cotton-growing dis
tricts. The committee is at present
in New Orleans, where it has been
engaged for the pn’st ten days, having
gone there from Memphis, where
eight days’ time was spent. The in
vestigation has been very thorough
into the cause of the depression and
the testimony of many persons who
are in possession of. facts bearing npon
the question and of those who hold
opinions, has been taken by the com
mittee. .
The ways and means committee will
hold a meeting at once to decide upon
a plan to raise sufficient revenue to
meet the deficit from the tariff duties.
It is the opinion of experts that the
less of revenue by the Wilson bilk will
be §35,000,090'. The committee is con-
sidereing a tux on the net incomes .of
corporations, a personal income tax,
nn inheritance tax, an increase on the
tax of whiskey, a tax oh proprietary
medicines and various other forms of
tuxation. The most popular tax with
the committee is tbe income tax and
the majority favor3 a tax on tho in
comes of corporations rather than in
dividuals. Over the proposed tax a
serious conflict is feared within the
party lines.
There Was a Deficiency.
The following abstract from the an
nual report of Postmaster General
Bissell was given out at the postoffice
department Tuesday. The postmas
ter geniral, iu his- annual statement,
shows that the d ficiency for the year
ended June 30, 1893, was 35,177,171,
instead of $1,552,423 as estimated by
Mr- Wanamaker; and that instead of a
surplus of $872,245, the current fiscal
year, ns estimated "by Mr. Wanamaker.
there will bo an estimated deficiency
of $7,830,473. The postmaster gen
eral estimates the gross. revenue for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895,
at $84,427,748, and the gross estimated
expenditures at $90,399,485, leaving an
estimated deficiency of $5,971,738,
which, however, will be decreased
$1,250,000 from funds taken from the
unpni.l money order accounts.-
Although there ate. ninety-threo addi
tional postofficcs now entitled to the

There are now 610 free delivery offices.
The New TarlfT Kill.
The new democratic tariff bill was
given to the public Monday. Its pro
visions fulfill every expectation of
those who predicted radical reform.
In many respects it is a surprise even
to the democratic .members of con
gress, ns it is unprecedented in many
of its provisions. .The free list is of
that liberal scope sufficient to satisfy
the most radical advocate of dras
tic refirm, and- the repudiation
of the principle of reciprocity is de
cisive and emphatic. The following
summary of the bill bas been prepared
by Bepresentative Bryan, of Ne
braska: “The bill just completed
puts wool, coal, lumber, salt and iron
ore on the free list. It reduces the
tariff on sugar from one-half to one-
quarter of a cent per pound. It also
provides for the extermination
of the bounty by degrees.
As a rule, the tariff has _ been
made lowest upon the cheaper goods
of necessary use and left highest npon
more expensive articles. The wool
schedule will, perhaps, attract most
attention:. W.e have left no duty
higher thnn forty-five per cent, on
manufactures of wool, and that only
on ready made garments, the average
being less than forty per cent. The
cheaper quality of blankets and flan
nels are only taxed twenty-five per
cent, and lower grades of carpets only
twenty. .We have also applied grad-
ual reduction to the woolen schedule
so that at tli9 end Of five years
the highest duty will be forty per cent
and the average near thirty per cent.
Vqry material reductions have been
inade- in the cotton schedule: . We
have’ placed- iron ore_ : on -the’ free list
and made a large cat all along the
methl schedule. The duty on steel
rails is reduced-more than 50 per cent.
Free.lumber will be a great .benefit to
the people ; of the prairie states, and
free salt will give io those who need
salt for their cattle or for curing meat
the same advantages -which have been
secured heretofore by means of-rebate
to those who cured fish. Agricultural
implements have been placed npon-the
free list in order to enable- the farmer
to better compete in foreign marr
kets, and because many of our ag.
ricultnral implements are being made
cheaper abroad than at home..
Among tho principal additions to
the free list are tho following: Bucftn,
hams, beef, mutton, pork, and meats
of all kinds not specially provided for
in this act; binding. twine, borax,
camphor, bituminous coal, coke, cop
per in all its crude forms; cotton ties,
ore. cotton seed oil, agricultural
ments (cotton gins specially nam-
’ adding materisig^x-
[umber, timber
KB"’ eon"
which are named, and wool. The bill
covers customs and administrative
features only. International revenue
matters are left in oboyanee.

SOME COLD WEATHER RULES.
• Never lean with the hack upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin a journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
immediately go out in the cold.
Keep the back, especially, between
the shoulder blades, well covered; also
the chest well protected.
In sleeping in a cold room, establish
a habit of breathing through the nose
and never with the open mouth.
After exercise of any kind never ride
in an open carriage or near the window
of a car for a moment, it is dangerous
to health or even life.
When hoarse speak as little as possi
ble until tbe hoarseness is recovered
from, else the voicemay be permanent
ly lost, or difficulties of the throat be
produced.
Merely —arm the back by the fire,
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise
is debilitating.
When going from a warm atmosphere
into a cooler one, keep the mouth
closed, so that the air may be wormed
in its passage through the nose before
it reaches the lungs.
Never go to bed with cold or damp
feet. Never omit regular bathing, for
uuless the sldn is in active condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion and other diseases.
Never stand still in cold weather, es
pecially after having taken a slight de
gree of exercise, and always avoil
standing on ice or s.now, or where the
person is exposed to cold wind.—Sani
tarian.

An Uncnnveulional Judge.
A famous judge actually broke off &
summing np upon one occasion with:
“Mr. Sheriff, I should like to know
what that fat man means by pressing
against those two young women in the
front row of the gallery.” On another
occasion the same judge, during the
examination, of a witness, exclaimed:
“Really, Mr. Foreman, I am exhaust
ed, worn out, with the outrageous con
duct of that witness in the box, who
among other profanities keeps on say
ing that what he deposes to is ‘as sure
as God made apples.’”—Green Bag.
Ideas coine Handy Sometimes.
Father—“If I ever catch yon with a
dime novel again, I’ll thrash some
sense into yon, do yon hear?”
Same Father (a week later)—“Nobly
done, Johnny! How did you happen
to strike the idea of blinding that
burglar with red pepper?”
Johnny—“I read it in a dime nov
el.”
Not Much Time to Loso.
Little Boy—‘You’ll have to hurry,
papa, or mamma will be ready before
you are.”
Papa—“Indeed?”
Little Boy—‘Yes, she’s tying on her
bonnet; guess you better begin to dress
pretty soon.”

Meandering.
A city girl writes, “It is a fond
dream of mine to become a farmer’s
wife and meander with him down
life’s flowery pathway.” Ah, yes,
that is a nice thing to dream about,
bnt when you have lived on the farm
and followed this meandering business
for a month or so, you will discover a
wide chasm between the dream and
the reality. Ybu will think of this
abont the time your husband meanders
ont and leaves you without wood, and
you have to meander up and down the
lane pulling splinters off the fence
with which to cook dinner. And when
you meander around in the wet clover
in search of tho cows you will have a
dim perception that fond dreams do
not always pan out 100 cents on the
dollar, and that there are several me-
anderings in farm life that are not
listed in the dreaming., category. The
meandering business' on the farm is
not what it’s craved np to be.— Texas
