RUSH CRY, Mimi, June %.
Lieutenant General P. Fl. Sheridan:
1 have just returned from Bur-
nett county, Wisconsin, having visited
Grantsburg and Wood Lake. the places where
the alleged uprising of the Chippewas occurred.
There is not even foundation for the reports.
The Indians have not so much as spoken I'M
kindly to any of the settlers, have they
taken anything from the farms abandoned by
the frightened Swede settlers, aud the chief Of
the Chippewas whom J saw at the dance at
Wood Lake assured me that nobody was mad,
ing trout For some time past the ChiPpe-
was have been practicing new dance, which
is very like one Of the Cheyenne dances,
and which seems to take their fancy
to such an extent that they
spend in dancing the time which they ought to
consume in hunting and fishing, and let Their
children go hungry. The constant repetition
Of this dance, which is semi-re1igious in char.
acter, has worried the timid Swedes and some
malicious joker started report of an Indiat
uprising, and quite number of outlying set
tiers hastily abandoned their homes and rsuhec
to Grantsburg and Rush City for protection
Not a single Sioux has been seen in this part Of
the country, and the alleged utilization Of the
Sioux and Chippewas is untrue as it is alb
! surd, as the two tribes are mortal enemies
Nearly all of the settlers have returned to thei
homes, and all will be back again by this even
ing. shall return to st. Paul tomorrow.

tween Russia and Turkey still further
strengthens the position of the latter, and
renders European Intervention in her be-
half absolutely certain, in case Of invasion
from the north. The determination, also,
to preserve the Austrian protectorate over
Albania, has wrecked Russia's last hope of
obtaining naval station on the Adriatic. It
is very evident that not Only are England
and Austria Jealous Of Russian aggression,
but Germany is not enthusiastically in favor
of encouraging her, while Greece and Italy
are throwing what influence they possess
against the Muscovites. Russia thus finds
herself playing lone hand against the whole
of Europe. She has no active ally. Her
purposes are looked upon with suspicion by
all, and openly opposed by a majority of the
nations. This being the case, she cannot be
expected to come off first best in the diplo-
matte game.

Il Case of Cold Temperament.

4 case is reported of man freezing to
death the other day near Meridian. Miss,
from exposure to the weather, and the sum-
mer is not remarkably cool in the south
either. In fact the thermometer marked 80
degrees where the freezing was done. He
was young man named James Knox who
presented this anomaly in nature. He had
been suffering with cold continually for
about year, and required heavy wraps and
big fires to exist at all. In the meantime
the temperature of his body was nearly
normal, and he was otherwise healthy and
fresh looking. At home he was accustomed
to wrap his head up in clothes and hold it
in blazing fire until the clothes we're al
most burned off, to get temporary relief. He
sat by the fire all the time, and resorted to
various expedients to get warm and keep,
warm, but he always felt as if he were freez-
ing. The family doctor was greatly puzzled
over the case, and recommended him to
visit another physician living distance IN
Livingston. The only question was whether
he could make the trip without freezing to
death. But he managed to make it, loaded
down with clothes and piled over with robes
He came near dying with cold in DR.. Webb's
office, and the doctor built a great fire ant
partially thawed him out. But the new
physician could make nothing Of the case
and sent the patient home. 1t was on thu
| trip homeward that James Knox froze t.
death under the hot son of the south. Hi
cold became unbearable, and he jumped GU
of the wagon and ran. The driver caugh
| him. brought him back, and drove on rapid
| ly. Presently the patient became quiet an
sank in stupor, and James Knox actual
froze to death and lay corpse in the wagon
bed under the blazing sun of Mississip
with the temperature at 80. 1t is a
anomalous case for the books.

RUSSI1i'S EXTREMITY,

The London Post declares that Russia has
been given to understand by the congress
that she is as far from Constantinople now,
if not farther, than she was at the outbreak
of the war, and that herein lies the bitterness
of the modification to which she must sub
NIT. This somewhat boastful sentence has
apparently more basis of fact than at first
appears. The congress has determined that
Russia must retire north of the Balkans, and
has given Turkey the right to fortify these
mountains, privilege she has already taken
advantage of. The experience Of the war has
shown wherein these natural Notifications
against the approach of an enemy can be
strengthened, and ere many months she
passes will no doubt be rendered absolutely
impregnable. Then, the establish
ment of Roumelia with guaran-
teed autonomy as barrier be-
