Y. M. c.. A. Conference at the House of

Mr.. Jacobs, of Chicago, MEETS the Work.
ers of St. Paul In an Interchange of
Opinions.
Last evening about thirty gentlemen gath
cred in the Parlors Of Mr., Horace Thorn Pson, to
meet MIR. B. +. Jacobs, of Chicago who has
been here in attendance upon the State Sab
bath School association, and confer with him
concerning the work of the Young Mems Chris

After prayer by Mr. Breed, Mr.. Hackett.
president of the St. Paul Y. NJ. C. A., made
short statement of It's work and need, Mr..
Jacobs and the others present interrupting
him from time to time to ask questions upon
points which interested them. After the plan
Of work had been fully developed by the re-
marks Of Mr.. Hackett, Mr.. Jacobs followed,
taking up IN order some of
which that gentleman had spoken of. The
work, among the railroad men, Mr.. Jacobs said,
had been, in many places, especially encourag
ing, and spoke of MI. E. D. Ingersoll the rail-
road secretary of the international committee,
as very efficient in that branch of work, and
advising the association here to obtain his SER
vices in interesting this community in this line
Of Christian effort. The fact of there being so
many prominent railroad men in St.. Paul who
were Christian men, and who had already ex-
pressed an interest in this direction, Mr.. Jacobs
also commented upon as being very hopeful
sign for the successful prosecution of the
methods determined upon for the bringing Of
all the employees of the railroad and steamboat
lines under the benifcent influences of the as
ISOLATION.
The Evangelistic services to be inaugurated
in the Opera House were next considered and
multitude of suggestions made as to the man
ner Of conducting not only these public meet
ings upon Sabbath evenings but of sustaining
successfully all the religious meetings of the
association.
/ Mr.. Jacobs gave many interesting incidents
from the experience of the Chicago association
and what plans had proved best after trial
there. He spoke of the necessity of keeping
the character in active sympathy with this work
of the association; of how beneficial the syse-
matte visitation of the whole city had
proved with them, the supervision Of which
had been under the care of the association,
while the work had been done by the different
churches. He also emphasized the value of a
daily prayer meeting giving the plan pursued
in Chicago for keeping up its numbers and
preventing the interest from tagging. The
who e field of religious work in this direction
was in fact travelled over by Mr.. Jacobs,
! though only in parts was their any stop made
for thorough consideration of a point more
than usually important.
The conference was thoroughly enjoyable
and instructive, and adjourned at quite late
hour.

THE WISCONSIN SCARE.

Those, who are we'll informed as to the
numbers and character of both Indians and
whites in Burnett county, Wis, are conf
dent that no outbreak of Indians could oc-
cur there which few resolute men might
not suppress. The Indians, at least in the
vicinity of the white settlements, are few in
number and, like those who infest the Min
St. Croix, are wanderers mostly dependent
for their living upon their traffic with the
whites, to whom they sell fish, maple sugar,
berries and Indian notions. Not many of
them are well armed or even accus
toned to the regular use of any
sort Of firearms. In the settled
part Of the county, or near
to it there are not at any time more than a
score of Indian men and boys, and these are
in scattered families. The only large body
of Indians in that part of the country num-
bers about one thousand. They are located
on the Lac Court d'Orreille reservation,
eastward of Burnett county, and are, like
the other reservation Chippewas quiet and
eminently peaceful people.
The scare which has driven the Scandi-
navian settlers from their homes in Burnett
county may have originated in wild reports
concerning recent fight in Barron county
resulting from whisky and personal quar-
rein which a white man was wounded and
an Indian was killed. Or itmay come from
the wild reports of an alliance with
the Sioux and Of intended gatherings of the
Indians next week at Grantsburg and Bruins
wick, as related in our special dispatches.
But yet another possible cause for it is
suggested-which can be ascertained here
after-in what the simple Scandinavian
fugitives told our reporter at Rush City
they were advised to leave as quickly as
possible, and they will probably find theil
homes plundered by whites on their return
The scare throughout appears to be one OF
the most senselesf on rscord.
