NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ONLY LIVING AGENT 
Hon. Wm, H. Tappan of Manchester Only 
Man ‘Living Who Made Treaties with the 
Indian Tribes in Idaho in 1855 
That the Hon. William H. Tappan of 
Manchester is the only living agent of 
the government, who, with Gov. Ste- 
vens, made the treaties with the Indi- 
WM. H. TAPPAN 
an braves of Washington, Idaho and 
Montana tribes in 1855 is a fact 
brought out in recent investigations in 
Idaho. 
Mr. Tappan is now in his 85th year 
and is living quietly at his home on 
North street. 
He was one of the pioneers of the 
great west, and ranks with Freemont 
and Kit Carson as a factor in carrying 
out the future of that great country. 
His adventuresome experiences with 
the savages and hairbreadth escapes 
were many. It was in 1849 that he 
was appointed Indian agent in Indiana, 
Oregon, Washington Territory and 
Idaho. His first efforts in attempting 
to make treaties and of extinguishing 
the Indians’ title of land were unavail- 
ing, but he was afterward more suc- 
cessful.

ning on a sale and entertainment in 
the chapel next Wednesday evening. 
A Deepening Interest Quite 
Manifest at Evangelistic Services 
The special union services at the 
Manchester churches the past week 
have been well supported and a deep- 
ening interest has been quite manifest. 
Sunday evening a congregation of 
five hundred people assembled in the 
Congregational church and _ listened 
with rapt attention to the Rev. E. H. 
Byington of Beverly, who preached 
from the text, ‘‘And it was the third 
hour, and they crucified Him.” 
Mr. Byington preached a sermon of 
simple beauty, eloquent with appeal, 
and the large number who remained 
for the after meeting was evidence of 
the strong impression made. 
Monday evening the meeting was 
held in the chapel, which was filled. 
Mr. Byington took his text from Rev. 
2:10, setting forth in a winsome, orig- 
inal way the two ideas of faithfulness 
and fullness of faith contained in the 
injunction, ‘Be ye faithful.” 
Cards were distributed through the 
pews Tuesday evening, so that anyone 
who desired either of the pastors to 
call upon them might signify the fact 
by placing their name on one of the 
cards. Rev. Peter McMillan of Bos- 
ton preached. His sermon dealt with 
the Pauline expression, “I live, yet 
not I, but Christ liveth in me.’’ This 
service closed the number held in 
the Congregational church, and on 
Wednesday evening a large number 
attended service at the Baptist church, 
though the night was perhaps the 
severest of the winter. Rev. M. F. 
Negus of the Central church of Salem 
preached. He chose for his theme, 
“Ready to serve,” and fortifled the 
thought of our instrumentality. At 
the conclusion of the sermon he gave 
an earnest Invitation to enter upon 
the life of Christian service, and five 
responded. The meeting was the 
most resultful of any that had been 
held, and proved that a rising wave 
of interest was sweeping through the 
meetings. , 
Thursday evening the Rev. J. L. 
Campbell, D.D., of the First Baptist 
church of Cambridge preached. He
