Bicycle Corps .- July 24, 1897, there arrived in St. Louis a troop of nineteen soldiers belonging to the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry Regiment, who had ridden from Fort Missoula, Montana, to that city on bicycles, covering a distance of nineteen hun- dred miles in thirty-four days of actual travel. This was the first expedition of this character made by troops of the United States Army, and was planned, commanded and personally con- ducted by Lieutenant James A. Moss, of the Twenty-fifty Regiment, United States Army. Its purpose was to demonstrate the practica- bility of the bicycle as a means of transporting troops.
Biddle .- See "Elmer."
Biddle Market Mission .- A mission and Sunday school established in a small frame building at the corner of Sixth and Carr Streets, in St. Louis, in 1840. This building was removed, in 1846, to a lot at the corner of Fourteenth and Carr Streets, and in 1848 Thomas Mor- rison became superintendent of the Sunday

school which met in this building, and which had then quite a large attendance. Under the superintendency of this truly noble- hearted and philanthropic man the school grew rapidly, and it was removed to the large Biddle Market Hall, at the corner of Thirteenth and Biddle Streets. Taking the name of its new location, it has since been known as the Biddle Market Mission, al- though it was subsequently removed to what is now known as the Memorial Taber- nacle, erected for its use at the corner of Sixteenth and Carr Streets, a building which it still occupies. Out of this mission grew the Memorial Tabernacle Church of the Presby- terian denomination, and the St. Louis Provi- dent Association is indebted to it also for its origin. The Biddle Street Mission Sunday school celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Mr. Morrison's superintendency in 1898.
Bienville, Jean Baptiste Le Moyne,
second Governor of the Province of Louisiana and brother to Iberville, the founder of the colony, was born in Montreal, Canada, Febru- ary 23, 1680, and died in France in 1765. He accompanied Iberville to the mouth of the Mississippi in 1699, and after the building of the fort at Biloxi explored the surrounding country. After the death of Sauvolle, who had been commissioned Governor of the colony by Louis XIV, Bienville succeeded to the direction of affairs. In 1708, after the failure of an attempt to cultivate land in the colony by Indian labor, Bienville proposed to the home government to send negroes from the Antilles for that purpose, and this sug- gestion led up to the establishment of negro slavery in the Louisiana colony. In 1713, after Cadillac had succeeded him as Governor, he was sent on an expedition to the Natchez tribe of Indians and built a fort in their coun- try, which became the nucleus of another French settlement. He founded the city of New Orleans in 1718, and subsequently trans- ferred the seat of government to that place. His last term of service as Governor of the colony extended over a period of ten years, ending in 1743, at which time he returned to France.
Big Bend .- A bend in the Mississippi River, about two and a half miles above Cape Girardeau. In the navigation of the river, from its earliest period, Big Bend has been an
important land mark, and near it a number of river accidents have occurred. At the upper end of the bend, carly in the history of U'pper Louisiana, one Lieutenant Girardot, at one time an officer in the French Army at Kas- kaskia, established a trading post, and thus the name Cape Girardeau found its origin, which at a later date was applied to the city built a few miles below.
Big Field .- A name applied to a swamp comprising about 2,000 acres in the north- eastern part of Stoddard County. It is desti- tute of timber and covered witha rank growth of grass and presents the appearance of a prairie. Cattle and other animals, lured by the luxuriant growth of grass have entered it, only to be swallowed by the underlying quick- sands which extend the whole area of the field.
Big Fields (" Le Grande Champ "). -About 2,500 acres of land on the Missis- sippi River bottoms, three miles southeast of Ste. Genevieve. This was the site of what was known as "Le vieux village de Ste. Genevieve," and before the river made in- roads into it contained about 5,000 acres. Its fertility is inexhaustible, and, after a century and a half of cultivation, it grows enormous crops of corn and vegetables. Ages ago it was inhabited by the mound- builders of the Mississippi Valley, who have left evidence of their' work in a group of mounds, one of which rises to a height of thirty feet. The residents of Ste. Genevieve from the earliest settlement down to the present time have held this land as "com- mons," each head of a family being allotted a portion of it for cultivation. In early days any person failing to till the soil was deprived of his claim thereto and his "field" was sold at the door of the church. The common field found its origin in the desire of the early settlers to be close together in case they were attacked by Indians.
Biggs, William H., lawyer and jurist, was born in Clark County, Missouri, August 1, 1842, son of George K. and Nannie (Floyd) Biggs. He was a student at La Grange Col- lege, of La Grange, Lewis County, Missouri, when the Civil War began. Leaving school at that time he entered the Confederate Army as a private soldier, and served gallantly

throughout the war. In 1866 he returned to liis old home and began fitting himself for the bar, reading law under the preceptorship of Judge James Ellison, of Canton, Lewis County, Missouri. In 1869 he was admitted to the bar, and immediately afterward began practicing in Bowling Green, Pike County, Missouri. He removed to Louisiana, Mis - souri, in 1873, and within the next sixteen years built up a large practice at that place. In 1888 he was made the nominee of the Democratic party, with which he has affiliated since he became a voter, for associate justice of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, and was chosen to that office at the ensuing election. In January following he took his place upon the bench and since then has been a resident of St. Louis. As a member of that judicial tribunal, which stands next to the Supreme Court of the State, he has distinguished him- self by his careful investigation of causes coming before the court, his patient research and a broad knowledge of the underlying principles of jurisprudence. Judge Biggs was married, in 1870, to Miss Eliza Shotwell, of Pike County, Missouri.
