The Rifle Lac Reservation.

For many years the Mile Lac Indian
reservation has been choice mcrsei
which has been looked upon with covet
GUS eyes by white men. All kinds of de
vices have been resoried to secure it. An
effort to remove the Indians was made a
few years ago, and drunken rows were TO-
mentcd among them to make them appear
lawless. Trespass was committed and
large amount of stumpagc secured.
The last game is to secure the valuable
portion Of the reservation by soldiers ad-
dilionals upon the land. Mr.. T. B. Walk
er, of Minneapolis for himself and associ-
atcs, filed these soldiers additions
to The extent of eighteen Thousand
acres, embracing the very Lest Dor
ton OF the reservation. These were laid
upon the land ON t.e 18th of last March,
AID in May the entries were cancelled.
Ever since then the ring has been wildly
seeking some plan to allow their soldiers
adtlitionals TO "s,ick" TO almost secure
$4,000 acres of choice pine land and have
it slip from their grasp is aggravaling and
exasperaling. Hence The stir in the crowd
that have this neat plum in tow and the
strenuous efforts which are being made in
Washington to receive the revocation of
of the cancellation order.
Some Of the leading Indians of the tribe
are anxious to 60 to Washington to protect
themselves from the piratical attacks be-
ing made upon their property, but they
cannot obtain permission to leave. Evl-
IDENTITY the Washington authorities do not
desire to hear the "Other side"
1t is pertinent in this connection to ask
under what authority the government sells
stumpaye on this Indian reservation, and
| pockets the money. In So. lie Of the terms
of the treaty, by which neither the gov
! eminent or The Indians are allowed to sell
! stumpage, the records show that Benjamin
! SJale paid $4ol. II for 400 900 feet Of tres,
| pass III 1876.
Barron Bros. paid $1,c0o for a million
and a-half Of trespass i'll 1916. Benjamin
| Soule has also cut nearly half million
which have not been accounted for
i Is it any wonder that we have Indian
wars? Robbed of their property without
an equivalent, they grow FESTIVE until
their savage nature brings rebellion

TEMPERANCE.

Major Michael C. Holden, a
noted New England temperance lect-
urer, has been holding meetings,
nightly, in the Congregational church,
since Tuesday evening; already he
has persuaded upwards of 100 per-
sons to come forward and sign tho
pledge. Mr.. Holden intends to con-
clude his labors in this village with a
closing address on Sunday evening,
when it is expected there will be a
large attendance. We have listened
to more eloquent speakers than the
Major; but his discourses are to the
point; he calls things by their right
names and tells some plain truths.

Setback.

"Never kick a man while he is 60

one which we propose to follow while
speaking Of Schack-for that poor

He importuned several of our business
men for advertisements and subscrip-
tons but they could not be guided,
and he met with little or no success;
perhaps, he raked in few dollars
from some of his countrymen, but
the Scandinavians within 10 miles of
Princeton are few and far between, so
he could not have swindled many of
them. On Saturday evening, several
Of the boys gave chase to Setback,

Some six weeks or two months ago, a
young man, Scandinavian by birth, ar

for advertisements for paper which be
proposed issuing in this city, to be printed
in the Norwegian language. He had a

soon worked his way into the confidence
of a number of our people. He gave his
name as Marcus Setback, A. NJ Swain anG

advertisements from quite number of ou]
