Quoted out OF money due them under

Thus a long series Of wrongs, coupled
with want amounting almost 10 starya-
ton, had rendered the Indians deSper-
ate, and on Sunday, the 18th of August,
1852. the work of murder began. Four
Indians killed as many whites. and then

This advice was al once acted upon;
runners were sent ont TO call i'm the
braves and an awful slaughter was be-
gun which extended along both sides of
the Minnesota River to within six miles
Of the town Of New Tim. Many were
put TO death, and that by the most cruel
methods that the ingenuity Of demons
could devise. Children were nailed alive

throw tomahawks; many were burned
alive in houses:while,i If possible, still more
inhuman and unnatural crimes were per-
pctrated by these veritabe iiendS.
That week an attack was made upon
New Ulm and Fort Rldgely, but the In
dians were driven off with considerable
loss on both sides, Little Crow being
wounded. The uprising had now become
general and extended through the whole
western frontier of Minnesota, and into
Iowa and Dakota. During the first week
not less than 700 people persisted, while
200 more were carried away as captives.

The Youngest Convict I'm the United states
Wonderfully innocent-looking is pris-
oner No. 1900 in the Iowa State Pris-
on, a slim boy eleven years old. He is
rather handsome boy, with a broad
forehead and a thoughtful face, a the
photograph shows. Heis the youngest
prisoner ever received at the prison or,
it is believed, at any other State
prison.
Prisoner 1909 is sentenced TO the
Iowa State Penitentiary for life. His
crime was the brutal and premeditated
murder Of his father and stepmother
near Edgewood, Clayton County, in
July, 1899.
Early one MOI ming Wesley drove the
old farm team furiously up to a neigh
boris house. He had the baby In tho
wagon with him. He had an awful
story to tell. When be arose that
morning and went TO his parents room
terrible sight met his eyes.
L5sag stretched out on the bed was
the body of his father with bullet
hole through his head. Half on the
bed and half on the floor was the body
of his stepmother. Her head was
beaten to jelly. On the floor lay a
heavy club, smeared with blood, and
his fathers old muzzle-loading rifle,
with which the CHASTITY work had been
done.
The community was excited and
many people were thrown under sus-
picion. The eldest son proved en-
alibi.
Wesley, the ten-year-old boy, main
tanned his story. He showed no sign
of grief No tear came to his eve.
Coolly and in matter of fact way he
related again and again the details Of
his horrid discovery. 1t was always
the same.
He was finally arrested, however,
and locked up in jail at Elkador. One
day this l0-year old child called the oil
Gals into his cell and confessed that the
work was his. There was no breaking
down, no tears. Coolly and calmly
again he detailed the story.
His father and his stepmother
whipped him and he would not stand
it. He waited until his brother was
gone away and he was alone in the
house with his parents. At o'clock
in the morning he got up stole down
stairs and loaded his fathers old muz-
Zle-loading rifle, which hung on the
wall in the bedroom. He put the muz-

his ninetieth anniversary. The occa-

On May &C, % and SO a series of games
will be played in the Dublin court, owned
BY Sir Edwin Guinness, which viii decide
the court championship Of the world, The
contestants VIII be Thomas Pettitt, Of Dos
ton. and Charles Saunders, Of England.
The circumstances which have led up to
this match are peculiar. Elr. Pettitt IS an
ettache Of the court built by MIR. II. II.
Eunnewen, in Boston, IN 1916. This was
the first court in the United States. Mr.
Pe5titt was one OF the first men to become
connected with the Hunpewell court.
Petit wGS born IL England, and began
his residence in America n 1873, being one
of the first attaches OF the Hunnewell
Eourt. he soon showed his superiority,
and his friends arranged a match for him
with George Lambert, the English cham
pion. Pettitt won this match at Hampton
court, England, in the spring of 1885, and
then defeated nearly eveEy player of note
in Europe.
After he had returned home, Charles
Saunders, a young English player whom
PetIitt had net ard defeated in Europe,
visited America, and played three days
exhibition match with Pettitt, the latter
giving odds Of half - for bisqUe. Saund-
ers barely Won.
In 1887 Pettitt went to Europe. He was
under contract to play no championship
games elsewhere than n Boston, but he
tried unsuccessfully to get Saunders to
meet him for money.

| religious creed Of these worthy people is
| their cgndsAnatim,c OF the married state
and their practice Of ceibacy. During
the first two yearsof the fsciety's exist
ence a number of weddings took place
solemnized by Father Rapp himself.
Among them was that Of his own son
John, whose daughter, Gertrude, presid-
ed at the organ for si1ty-fve years and
died Dec. 20 last, aged 81 years. In 1907
there was a religious revival IN the COM
munity, and soon after it was decided
that the married state was incompatible
with the purity Of the soul which they
desired to attain. They finally decided
that those who had wives should be as
those who had none, and that cehbacy
should be the sine qua non of member
ship.
Feb. Is, the eighty-ffth anniversary
of the formation of the society, was cele-
brated with the usual ceremonies that
have marked the passage of the years.
There were services in the church, big
dinners in tie large public hall, where
everybody was urged and expected to
eat al he possibly could, and music all
day long by an excellent brass band.
The great feature of the day was the ad-
mission of sixteen new members. All
of them had been employees and fully
understood the step they were taking
Some were married, but henceforth they
must live apart.
George Rapp, the founder, was laid to
fy,o !, In L. oil
his followers are laid with him except
twenty-seven, four having passed away
during the past year. When all of the
original members shall have joined the
silent majority is but the question of an
exceedingly short space of time, and the
perpetuation of the society and the one
hundred millions of dollars in cash,
stocks, bonds and manufactures re-
quires deep and mature deliberations.
The heirs Of members who Joined after
raising families outside of the society
threaten to sue the society for share Of
the millions, and it is more than proba-
Bile that the present generation viii wit
ness some interesting lawsuits.
When George Rapp died the com
munity decided there should be two
heads instead of one, and they selected
r. L. Baker and Jacob T. Hewrici, who,
during the latter years Of Rapp's life,
had been his trusted advisers and agents
in business transactions. Baker died in
1868, and Mr.. Hewrici, by tight Of sue
cession, look his place as supreme head
of the society, Jonathan Lenz being
elected as his assistant. Both are men
of over so years, of medium height and
as sharp and shrewd in a business trans
action as It is possible for men to be.
Their dress is as old in style as they are
in age, but on their holidays these old,
white haired men appear resplendent in
blue silk suits, such as were worn by the
old burgomasters in their native coun-
Try when their founder was boy. The
dress Of the women is of uniform style,
but they, too, appear in silk on state oc-
casions.
To the credit Of this curious people let
it be said that scandal among them is
thing unknown, and while they have
anassed great wealth it has all been got
ten honestly, and none can say that the
Harmonists have been in any way det-
riInent to the Ohio or Beaver valleys.
