And then the fire must glow.
Don't spoil the meat and waste the fire
But have "Wire Gauze Door,"

Better than e'er before.

THE BLACK HAWK WAR.

The sturdy pioneers who occupied
Northern Illinois and Southern Wis
consin for civilization sixty years ago,
often had the monotony of frontier
life broken by cotiicts with the Indi-.
ans. The last struggle of any impor-,
tance in this section occurred i'll 1857,
and is known to history as the Black
Hawk war, the moving spirit in the
savage outbreak being the noted
Black Hawk, chief! of the Sacs and
Foxes. Gen. Henry Dodge, after
wards senator from Wisconsin, was
tie leader in the hot pursuit which
finally brought Black Hawk, with his
Warriors, women and children, to bay
Ia *ha mouth of the Bad Axe river,
"a ii, east bank of the Mississippi, in
What is now Vernon county, Wiscon-
consin. The sun of the second day of
August, 1882, set upon a bloody field,
and the result was the death of near
ly all the, and the abrupt close of the
campaign. The chief himself es-
capped and died years after at his
home near Rock Island, Ill. The To-
cality the battle is now marked by
the village Victory, SO named from the
engagement, situated on and reached
only by the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern R. r., the Scenic ine,'
which touches most of the historic
spots in the upper Mississippi Valley.

country about six weeks. Banny and
Piazza, the father of the girl, are partners,
and were getting along very well, when it
was decided to send for Piazza's daughter to
attend to the store. After her arrival
young Banny spent great deal of his time
in the store, talking to the girl, and neglect
ing his business.
On Friday Banny entered the store about
4 o'clock, and after talking to the girl for
some time, asked her to marry him, which
she refused. He said if she would not he
would kill her father, at the same time dis
played stilleto. The girl went home, and
when her father arrived she told him the
story. They then went to Alderman Means,
and Miss Piazza entered suit charging
