To he, or Not to He.

On June 20 there will be 4 hear.
ing at the Interior department. as
to the right Of the settlers on. the
Mile Laos Indian reservation and
to determine whether settlers shall
be allowed to secure patents. The
act of July, 1884, provided that no
more settlers should be allowed on
the reservation until further leg
islation by congress. The act ST
June, 1881, providing for the Red
Lake commission to negotiate with
the Chippewa Indians has been
construed by some settlers to mean
further legislation as contem-
plated by the act Of 1884. Tt is up
on this question that the hearing
is to be held. The recent trouble
at Mile Laos has not been at all
beneficial to the settlers. The In
terror department. officials say the
trouble was stirred up BY the
whites with the purpose Of goad-
ing the Indians TO acts OF despera-
ton and to cause their removal.
These statements indicate that the
officials are fully eognizant Of the
recent troubles.

an addition was made of 1860 Pictori-

had come into use. A few years later
Came an entirely new revised edition
Of larger size. with 5000 Pictorial il

few years. a Biographical Dictionary
Of nearly 10000 names, and supple
ment Of nearly 5000 new words were
added and now there has come anoth-

A Serious Outlook.

The field and garden crop. Of the
reservation, and Of great portion
of Becker county, is blighted, with
cred, and destroyed. And the pail
OF desolation and ruin hovers DER
prospects but lately fair and prom
Using. More especially is this the
case with cerals, and, unless rain
should fall within very few days,
the consequences must prove most
disastrous to the farming interests
of the country. Grain fields, that
but yesterday, looked hopeful to
bountiful results, to-day, appear
bleached, withered and ruined.
The scorching heat, the SIMEON
laden atmosphere, which has pre-
vailed during the past week, has
greatly tended to premature head
ing of grain, while some Of the
grain which was sown late has not
yet sprouted. Most of the corn
and potato crop still looks fair and
promising and, with rain within a
week, an average crop can be
hoped for. The prospects for a
plentiful hay harvest is equally
discouraging, ON most Of the high
lands and great portion Of the
low-land meadows, the grass is
faded, scorched, and withered, and
a spark will set it blazing. Veri-
", the outlook is deplorable.

Chief Gabriel Renvill and Rev.
J. Crawford, Of the Sisseton .gen-
cy, who have been at Washington,
left for their homes on the 9th.
Their mission was to inform the
authorities Of the Indian depart
ment that their people did not
wish to dispose Of their lands un-
til something was done about the
payment Of certain annuities due
them: Nothing can be done about
these annuities until congress
meets. The patents, granting them
their lands in severalty, are writ
ten and are now being recorded.

the necessary appropriations, and.
too, witholds the Indians rightful
dues. The wild Sioux, when just
from the war path a dozen years
ago. made treaty with the Uni
ted States to the effect that school
houses and teachers should be fur
nished for their children; but the
schools were not established accor-
ding to the promise. Throughout
the distant reservation, among the
wild tribes, the angel of civiliza-
ton is troubling the stagnant pool
the Navajos are struggling into
civilization under adverse circum-
stances. The United States owe
this tribe for education, unde,
treaty stipulations, nearly three
quarters Of a million dollars; yet
with this sum due the tribe, the
Government provided one school
for a people numbering 1900
souls. The Moque, peculiarly
tenacious Of tribal usages, call to
US from the mesa tops and ask the
blessings the white man enjoys.
The blood thirsty Comanches ask
schools for their children, in this
manner expressing their readiness
to accept civilization.
This NATION CAN
GIVE NOTHING TO THE RED MEN, FOR
THE LAND WAS ONCE THEIR OWN !!
Nearly three times as much mon
ey IS, according to recent national
reports, annually spent in subju-
eating the Indians as is expended
for their civilization and educa-
tion. Take, for instance, the re-
port Indian commissioners for
1885. During that year $17, 643,-
1853 were expended in Indian wor
service, while only So, 1926, 500 were
devoted to their maintenance, civ
ilization, and education, and two-
thirds of even this latter sum is for
other purposes than civilization.
1t is no marvel that the aboriginal
race is still in a state of savagery,
a hunted people, with exterminat-
ing wars following them through
the centuries. The duty of the
United States is to prominent to
be unknown, and too great to be
ignored. The Indians justly claim
recognition and protection. They
are products Of a native soil, and
cling thereto with despairing te-
nacity. To solve the problem the
race must be gathered into COM
mon brotherhood, upon the broad
basis of christian civilization,
education, and citizenship

How "Tippecanoe" Harrison Was
Saved.


The battle Of Tippecanoc was fought No
vembcr 9Th, 1911. in Indiana, on the banks
of TippecanOe River, on the site of the pres
ent village of Battle Ground, between the
Americans under General Harrison, ana
the Indians under the Prophet, Tecumseh
brother.
After the famous battle until the end OF
his days General Harrison, grandfather OF
President Benjamin Harrison, was known
by the loving sObriquct % "Tippecanoe.'
Following his brilliant achievements IN
arms, now more than thrce-quartcrS or q
century ago, General Harrison, together
/ with many OF HIS troops, was stricken
/ with disease contracted through lack OF
/ proper food, and exposure - the llldSma oI
! that section Of Indiana, and for time his
! lie was dcspaircd of. Several OF his com
! mand lay for weeks suffering the horrors OF
! disease upon the banks OF the TippccAhoe
/ river, which rises in a lake OF the same
name in the northern part OF the State'
/ flows southwest 2JJ miles and cnpicS INTO
the Wabash nine miles above Lafayette
/ General HarrisOu's troops were threatened
with defamation, and the skill OF the army
surgeons was employed in vain to combat
more terrible andtead!y enemy than even
the hosti C aborigiRcs under Tccumsehs
brother.
! But relief came at last.
General Harrison very sensibv Conclud-
ed that residents of the cjghborhOod-nay,
the Indians themselves - knew nature 5
specific for the disease which had prostrat-
ed HIM and many of his command, and IN
stantly set on foot inquiries with view TO
asccrtaiuing aud applying the remedies.
They were speedily found and put 10 test
and worked Ike a charm. Under their use
the stricken soldiers were promptly re
stored TO their wonted good health anu
vigor.
The medicines were preparations of sim
! pie roots aud herbs. based upon very Old
fashioned but effective and natural formu-
lac. Their intrinsic merits have Decn
known and utilized for generations among
people living in remote and rlalarial sec
tons of the country.
Many of these invaluable formulate have
within the last two years come into posses
sion of Hon. II. II. Warner, president o.
the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, owner
Of the largest proprietary medicine manu-
factory in the world, and whose Safe Kcm
edies have conferred lasting boon upon
mankind, being recognized as standard
medicines throughout the civilized globe.
In 1857 Mr.. Warner, after careful eXper
meutnG ana trial put upon tIc hI'l hO
Warmers Log Cabin remedies, based upon
the formulate which has cured thousand:
Of debii;ated sufferers, not only on th'
banks OF the "Tppecanoe," as above related
out everywhere where introduced.
These Log Cabin preparations are designed
for an entirely different order OF diseases L
