One Hundred and Ten.—This name was given a stream on the line of the Santa Fe trail (q. v.), the name being indicative of the number of miles from Independence, Mo., but in reality it was only 100 miles distant. The stream is in Osage county, Kan., not far from Burlingame. After the opening of the territory a small settlement sprang up at this place, which in 1855 was an aspirant for territorial honors, receiving some votes for the capital.
