MANY INDIAN NAMES.
4 Valuable Paper Recently Sent to
the Historical Society.

The Minnesota Historical society held a
regular meeting last night, eX-GOv. Ramsey
in the chair. 1t was decided to purchase the
sketch of the treaty of Traverse de Sioux
from Mr. Mayer. as it was decided to be
historically correct and that it gave a good
view of the event. A communication was
received from the American Library associ-
alton stating that an excursion party of
leading Librarians Of the United States
would visit the society's rooms about July
IL. and committee was appointed to re-
ceye them. A communication was re-
ceved from Rev. j. A. Gilfillan of White
Earth in response to request of the society,
sending paperigiving the Ojibwa names of
natural objects in Minnesota, for which the
thanks of the society were returned to Mr..
Gllfllan. This is the most COM
plete and valuable paper of
the kind ever presented to the society,
and, for the northern part of the state,
with portions of the adjoining territory
is practically exhaustive. 1t contains 439
separate items, though not nearly SO many
names, as it appears that the Indians apply
the same term to the stream issuing from a
lake as to the lake itself. causing thus con-
siderable duplication. Indeed. Mr.. Giltillan
brings forth the the interesting fact that
the Chippewas do not have one name for
an entire stream, but that the name changes
for each lake it passes through. Thus, the
Mississippi itself is successfully named
Elk. Cross, Straitened-cOurse. Red Cedar,
Filthy Water, and Great River.
In reference to this last name Mr.. GiIfil-
Ian makes special note, as follows:
81 cannot find by inquiring that the Chip
pewas have ever called it Missi-zibi' (Missis-
sippD or 'Missa-zibi' but l consider it very
probable that in remote times they did, for
Missa-zibi (MississippD would express the
same idea in their language and would be-

A little over two weeks ago large, fine
looking and well-dressed man accompanied
by preposseSsing lady who carried an in
FAINT in her arms, put up at the American
hourse corner of Fourth and Wabasha
streets. The man registered as w. A. Dorm
and wife, Utica, N Y. He informed MI.
Mansen, proprietor of the house, that he
would probably remain several weeks; that
he was in the city for the purpose of pur-
chasing hotel property, and that he eX-
pected TO become a permanent resident
One of the best rooms in the house was
given the newcomer and his wife, and
they made themselves at home. On Friday
last he exhibited a check for 81, 900 to Mr.
Mansen, stating that he desired to get $50
for day or two, at the same time inform
ing him that he expected to purchase the
St Paul house. on Fourth street, near the
Seven corners. That night however, the
man failed to turn up, and has not been
seen in the city since. Investigation by Mr..
Mansen revealed the fact that no one had
made negotiations for the purchase of the
ST Paul hotel and the proprietor of the
American soon awoke to the fact that
he was out to the extent of
$50 in cash and $50 board bill. The
woman and her infant were cared for by
Mr. Mansen and family until yesterday
morning, when he procured ticket from
Mayor Rice for her to Minneapolis, for

been made in a part of the Maria avenue
sewer, extending about 200 feet from Sew
enth street. The specifications call for
a fail of 7.10Qof a foot in a
hundred, while as now being put in, but
$40 of foot had been given, and there was
danger of its filling up. The matter was
referred to the committee on sewers. 1t
was determined to meet every two weeks
for time instead of weekly as heretofore.
Mr.. A. Pugh stated that the street car COM
pany would lay tracks on Maria avenue as
soon as the sewers were completed On his
motion committee consisting Of Messrs.
Pugh, Heineman and Freeman was ap
pointed to look after the matter. Mr..
Heineman suggested that the health COM
mite call the attention of the health officer
to the drainage of disease-breeding swamps
and to the bad water now being used in the
Van Buren, school. Mr.. Pugh added the
suggestion that the committee also look
after the collection of garbage on the bluff.
He said that not one family in twenty knew
how to go about getting garbage removed.
and it was matter affecting the public
health.

AFRAID OF A ROASTING
IL All BOARD of Education Matters
Get Into Print.


Get Into Print.
A special meeting of the board of educa-
ton was held last evening, but the bust
ness transacted was very light. The vice
president of the Ruttan Ventilating COM
pany sent a communication TO the commit
tee on real estate which the chairman of
that committee sent to the secretary and
the same was read. The communication
condemns the heating and ventlating of
the Washington and NELL school buildings
as imperfect, defective and generally of no
good whatever. After the communication
was read Dr. Schiffmann expressed his dis
gust that the matter should be
brought up. He was afraid the news
papers would get hold of it and would
then give the members of the board
roasting. He wanted to know what it
was proposed TO do with the cOmmunica-
tion. The communication was ordered
placed on file. The secretary was directed
to pay for sprinkling streets in front of
school buildings when the adjoining prop
erty owners ask to have the street
sprinkled. The name of Hancock was
given to the school house at Hamline in
stead Of Simpson-which IN has heretofore
borne. 1t was resolved that one room in
the high school building $be fitted out eco
nomcally for manuel framing school on
the Boston plan, to be ready by the COM
mencement of the next school year,
namely Sept. Is. 1886. The Sbley school
grounds are to be inclosed by retaining wall

A good-sized audience greeted Alice
Oates and her burlesque company last
evening. 1.-The Field of the Cloth of
Gold" is new departure in ST. Paul and
showed the sprightly Alice to her best adj
vantage. The support was in some points
a little weak, but will improve. The tour
nament scene introduced Barnado and
Vidella on the double horizontal bars. and
was fine, followed by Miss Nellie Herman
in 4 highland fling, well executed. John
son and Mack, the Irish duo, did some
clever singing and dancing. The black
midgets, the hester Bros, took the house
by storm. Taken altogether the show was
good one and will undoubtedly draw full
houses the balance of the week.
