THE Indians are savages, delighting in

THE Indians are savages, deljghting in
cruelty, and possessing coarse appetltes.
But not more barbarous are they than
some of the white men whose lives are a
disgrace to their color, obnoxious 10
good people, and challenge to the
Almighty. Such are George Harris and
Henry Taylor, the Aiken county mur-
derers. Early Sunday morning of last
week, after night of drunken debauch-
cry, they procured rife and ammunition
and went down to a small Indian encamp-
ment. Without any provocation they
fired five shots into small body Of un-
suspecting Indians sitting about fire.
One of the Indians was shot through the
neck and instantly killed. The men
were Immediately arrested, and were with
great difficulty preserved from the just
rage Of the Indians who collected in a
large number to demand justice. They
were taken to St. Paul, two or three 1ndi-
ans following to see that they were not
released. Gov. Pillsbury allayed the
fears of the Indians by assuring them
that justice should be done. And may it
be done! Too good grounds already the
Indians have for complaining of the tar
diness and uncertainty of white mans
justice. They plead with pride the
promptitude with which they punished
one Of their num- Der who murdered halt
breed, and ask that their dead may be as
speedily and surely avenged. Every
heart Will echo the cry for justice, and
hush into the silence Of shame any plea that
the victim was only an Indian.

CONDUCTOR RYAN, an old, experienced
employee was killed on the S. G. g. St.
P. railroad near Madelia. While stand
ing on the platform of caboose and
looking toward the rear of the train, he
was struck on the head by bridge and
MORALLY injured. This accident, as we'll
as many Others on the railroads and in
the harvest fields, indicates not reckless
ness, but forgetfulness, carelessness.
Familiarity with any kind of machinery
is the most dangerous Of all dangers. The
machine or business that calls for care
to-day, calls for it at all times. A reaper
or car is no respector of persons,
Furnishing all carelessness with severity
and certainty. Already the papers are
reporting the usual harvest.feld accidents.
Our state is now melodious with the hum
of reaper, mower, and the rumble Of
the frelghted train; and if due care be
taken, if none will believe himself safe
because of his long experience, this mel.
ody will not be made discordant by the
greans Of death and pain which merci-
less machinery is sure to wiring from the
careless and unfortunate.

The Great Wheat Fields.

People travelling to the No rth- West, will
be gratified at learning that the "GREAT
Rock ISLAND ROUTE" opens new line
from Chicago to Minneapolis and st. Paul :,
July 18th, running two through daily
trains, leaving Chicago at 1905 and $50
p. m. This new line is to be known as the
"ALBEKT LEA ROUTE" and passes through
the very best section Of the States of Iii.
nois, Iowa and Minnesota, attording
travellers view of the great harvest fields
of our country, and section peopled by
the most progressive and prosperous Of
our Northwestern Inhabitants.
We understand that round trip excur.
sion tickets to points in the great wheat
region of the Red River OF the North, and
Missouri River valleys, will be immedi-
ately put on sale, good for 40 days from
date of issue. This will enable Eastern
farmers TO visit the greatest wheat coun-
try on the globe, and see harvesting done
on the most gigantic scale. i; IT,.
Surely, no one that really desires to see
the West, will forego this opportunity to
do 50, by ticke.lng over any other than

The Great Rock Island depot is the most
central of any in Chicago, being In the

THE strike on the St. Paul & Manstoba
road is ended. The company is victori-
Gus, as it of right ought to be. We are
not in sympathy with grasplng corpora
tions, nor are we ready to support those
who are in conflict with the inevitable
laws Of supply and demand. This
action of the employees has entailed
heavy loss upon themselves, the company,
and the mills of Minneapolis, and moth
ing has been gained. The combination
of workmen and attempt to compel pay
ment Of higher wages Is as unjust as the
company's payment of too low wages, if
TOO low wages were paid. Let labor
struggle for its rights. But it can win
only by calling intelligence, economy,
a nd fair-dea]ing to its aid.

MANKAT
State Normal School

The entrance examination for the Fall term
will be held August 18th and 10th, 1881. Reel.
tatiOnS commence August ~.
This institution enters upon its fourteenth
year with largely increased facilities for
thorough academic and professional training.
Prof. Jas. r. McCleary, of Wisconsin, a gen
tleman of fine abilities and varied experience
as teacher, superintendent, and institute
worker, has been added to the faculty.
Two new teachers for the model school have
been secured from the celebrated State Nor
NAL and Training School, at Oswego, NY
Additional rooms in the building, hitherto
unused, have been fitted up to accommodate
the expected increase in attendance.
merOus costly improvements have been made,
besides large addition to the stock of appa-
ratus.
The addition of about 400 new and carefully
selected volumes renders the library of the
school equal If not superior to that of any
other similar institution in the State.
The recently established Reading Room is,
it is believed, in the amount and character OF
its regular literary supplies, and various neat
appointments, unequaled in any other Nor
NAL School in the Northwest.
The spacious, convenient, and thoroughly
equipped building will be in perfect order by
the opening of the coming term, and in con-
dition to accommodate 400 students.
Expenses of students less than ever before.

tiers. send postal card to the undersigned for

End Of the Albany Fight.

Albany is once more at peace. The
deadlock is broken, the Republican party
is again united, and harmony between
the half.breeds and stalwarts prevails
Roscoe Conkling and his party were
defea ted, as at first nearly all hoped, and
later all clearly foresaw. Warner Miller
and Eldridge Lapham will occupy the
seats IN the Z. S. Senate which were
vacated by Plat and Conkl,ng, and their
seats in the lower house Of Congress will
be filled by Republicans. Mr.. Conkling
will go to Europe TO recuperate for the
campaign which he contemplates making
through the southern states for the pur-
pose of gaming has popularity.
Mr.. Conkling IS an able man, who has
done much for the party to which he
belongs. But his defeat at Albany will
teach him, and all other great politicians,
that ability and political industry will
not bridge the chasms of mistake and
obnoxious doctrine. Roscoe Conkling's
first mistake was the choice of the bossisna
practice, a mistake inexcusable. A man
Of his transcendent genius Is never called
upon to adopt the methods and practices
of narrow, mediocre men. His second
mistake, which was wholly inexcusable,
was the adoption Of the third term primer
pie and the uncompromising endeavor to
nominate Grant. His defeat at Chicago
ought to have warned him against the
folly ofepposing himself to the sentiment
of Washington, the first President, ard

to become the Roscoe of days gone by ;
now it seems forever. In his infatuation

knows no defeat and to an admins.

bossism and fraud, and firmly supported

has gone down, and not alone. Vice.

lack of confidence reposed in him,
although his later actions have done
much to restore HIM to public favor =;
Ex-President Grant, a man of world wide
fame, has fallen from the dignified posi-
ton which commanded the admiration
of the world And Plat? ask the winds
which come from political qua rters, and
they can give you no reply.
We are glad the fight is ended, and as
it is; and we hope that neither bullets
nor scheming politicians will again
attempt to check the career of the Presi-
dent and his party in the attempt to re-
turn to honesty and simplicity in politics
and civil reform.

THE weather during the past week has
been favorable for wheat and harvesting.
Encouraging reports come in from every
quarter 1t is now believed by many that
the yield has been unler-estimated. The
harvest is we'll under way, and every
bright day beholds other hundreds Of
acres denuded of their waving grain al
dotted with golden shocks. There will
be loss from chinch bugs, rust and blight;
yet it will be comparatively small. 1t is
safe to say that the crop is much heavier
than that of last year.

THE
White Sewing Machine.
ITS HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
THE

For nearly twenty years prior to
1876 the members of this company
had been engaged in the manufact-
ure of sewing machines, principally
under contract with other persons
or companies, to and by whom, the
sale of their goods was controlled in
this and foreign countries,
In the spring Of 1875 an oppor-
tunity was offered to, and readily
accepted by, the members of the
company, whereby they sold all their
old machinery, tools, patterns, etc.,
to company that was DESTROYS to
manufacture for itself:
During the negotiations of this
sale a new machine and new CON-
pany were conceived; and, stalking
our reputation as manufacturers, and
our prospects of success, on the
quality Of our productions, we
launched the White Shuttle Sewing
Machine upon the market, and made
our first shipment in August, 1876.
With this brief summary of histo-
ry we would simply state few facts:
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands
pre-eminent among first-class ma
chimes, for it's simplicity and light
running qualities. It is mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
of excellent workmanship, and allits
wearing parts are adjustable, so that
lost motion can be ''taken up" in an
instant. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the durability of the White Sewing
Machine is sustained by a written
warranty for five years. 1t is pro-
gressive fact that the White embo-
dies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing ma
chimes, together with advantages
peculiarly it's own.
1t is a gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further substantiated by the
following statement of sales, made
the third year of its existence,
amounting to 81, s33 machiues. No
other machine ever had such q rec
ord of popularity. For sale by ]. A.

The Pioneer Press publishes the letters
of the Judges of the Supreme Court, in
which it appears that they declined to
serve on the bond tribunal on the grounds
that subsequent suits will come before
the Court for adjudication. The ridicu-
lous reasons assigned for their refusal to
act now vanish, and those who have been
so hasty to declare the judges hostile to
the amendment will have an opportunity
to learn the lesson of not pre;judging.

Making Watches.

Defective watch cases are one Of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not
fitting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interfercs with the running
parts OF the watch, necesstating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying q good case in the
beginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen Il case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the jew
elry trade, possessing as it does so many
advantages over all other watch eases, being
made of two heavy plates Of solid gold oVera
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their jeweler for card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner IN whch
they are made. - 49,
1t is the only stiffened case made with two
plates of gold, seamless pendants, and center,
solid joints. crown pieces, &c, all OF which
are covered by letters patent. therefore buy
no case before consulting jeweler who keeps

equally as good:
