WISCONSIN, THURSDAY,
An Indian Legend.

Ear back in the closing years OF
the 18th century, the most powerful
Indian nations of the Northwest were
the Chippewas and Dakotas, between
whom existed an undying hatred. ever
and anon breaking out in bloody war.
Among all the Indian princesses none
was the peer in beauty of Wenona,
daughter of the mighty Red Wing,
chief of all the Dakota tribes, and
many were the suffers for her hand.
But from all of her own nation she
turned away, having secretly given
her heart to the son of Wahnabozah,
chief of the Chippewa nation, Red
Wings hereditary and mortal foe.
One spring Red Wing summoned all
his chiefs to council and asked their
aid in war for the destruction of the
Chippewas. To most the hope of spoil
was guerdon enough, but young Wall
koota demanded Wenona as the price
of his support. Ii was promised when
the campaign should be finished. Sad
was Wenona's heart. In a stolen in
terview with her Chippewa lover it
was agreed that in the fall, when the
war was done, he should meet her at
1.-The Great Rock" on Lake Pepin, and
they would flee far to the west. All
summer Wenona waited in mingled
hope aud fear-hope that Wazikoota
could not claim her-fear lest her
chozen one might fall in battle. At
last when the sumac flashed red on
the hills and the grapes purpled in the
forests, Wenona heard one evening
the appointed signal--the call of the
night-bird. Stealing from the wig
wan she met the Chippewa chief, and
hand in hand they sped toward the
shore where his canoe was hidden.
But the jealous Wazikoota had logged
their footsteps, and now gave the
shrill war-cry. Out poured the war.
r;ors from the camp, in hot pursuit,
and soon Wenona's lover fell, pierced
through and through with arrows.
Then the maiden's reason fled, and
with maniac's strength she caught
up the body, rushed to the brow of
the cliff, paused an instant to hurl de-
fiance at her pursuers, then leaped far
out, and was crushed on the rocks be-
low.
The scene of this legend is the we'll
known maiden Rock" and is located
directly on the line of 1.-THE BurIing-
ton" For any information about this
scenic line, call on your local agent, or

The Saloon a Nuisance.

The saloon should be relegat ed to
the same category as public nui
sances. It should be abated, crushed
out, exterminated as they, and on the
same ground. viz: that iG is detrimen.
tai to the health and welfare of the
| people, an injury to the body polite
If a man erects a mill dam which
| backs the waters over the meadows OF
| the farmers whose lands lie along the
stream above him, converting them
into marshes, the law promptly comes
| to their relief and compels him to re-
move his dam or to pay fair price
| for the land his act has rendered value
less. Why should not the law also
lay its hands upon the man who sets
| up a saloon and enters upon the occu'
patton of running his neighbours sons
| by making them drunkardsl Is a
strip of meadow land to be better
guarded by the law than the welfare
of young citizens! The saloons
wrengdoing is by far the greater of
the two-for while money can pay
| for the injured meadow, it can never
repay the father for the ruin of his
son.
II man establish fertilizer fac
tory, or any similar establishment at
a point where the abominable stenches
infect the atmosphere and annoy the
neighboring residents, the law steps
in and compels him to remove it on
the ground that it is nuisance, in.
furious to the human health. Why
then should man be allowed to es.
tablish a saloon to poison the moIal
atmosphere! Is mans physical health
to be carefully preserved, while his
moral health is ignored by the law!
If libertine leads a mans daught-
er astray the law deals With him
severely; what good reason can be
given why it should not deal as Sc.
verely with the saloon keeper for lead
ing son from the paths of sobriety
and turning him into a sot! There is
no greater degree of turpitude inhe
rent in the one case than the other. II
is as impossible for the young man &c
become the strong, pure man he was
as it is for the girl to regain her lost
honor.
The truth is that the rum traffic and
the men engaged in it have been
treated with far more forbearance
than thew deserve. That traffic is the
crime of crimes; and the souls of the
men engaged therein are as burdened
with the blood of the men they have
been instrumental in sending to their
graves as though they had murdered
them in cold blood. The saloon is a
robber that takes the substance of
women and children; it is an Cypress.
or because through il men are ruined
and their wives and children brought
to poverty; it is not only the promoter
of poverty, but the abettor of lawless-
ness and vileness, the propagation of
viIlainy, and the instigator of crime.
1t is the DEVILS great ally, and sends
more mems souls to perdition than
any one other evil instrumentality
The people of the nation must be
reused to realization of these facts.
They must he brought to see that no
halfway measures will control it,
that there is but one effective MODE
of dealing with it and that is its -
tire overthrow and total extermina-
tion.-MaI and E.rpress.
