Capt. Schwellenbach's Men Ordered
to Prepare for ActiOn.-.-Trouble
Feared at Ft. TOtten.
A telegraphic order to prepare for field
service, and be in readiness to move at a
moments notice, was received by 81 CON-
pany of this city Sunday. The lnstruc-
tions came from Adjutant General De-
Voc Of Grand Forks. addressed to Cap
tain E. J. Schwellenbach. 1t was after.
wards learned that the cause of the ord r
was the hostile attitude Of the Turtle
Mountain Indians, who, it is claimed,
have been joined by a lot of their rene
gade brethren from the Canadian side.
The members of the company responded
promptly, and it is thought they are as
we'll prepared for field service as is possi-
ble. considering the very conservative
action of the last legislature. A drill
meeting Was held in the afternoon at the
armory to which nearly all the boys
turned out.
Additional instructions were receiv' d
Monday from Col. Bentley, Of the
First regiment. who makes his headquar-
ters at Bismarck. Nothing of startling
nature is disclosed in the order. IT sim
ply directs hasty but careful preparation;
urges the Importance of bringing the
company ND to it's full strength by the
enlistment of experienced men, and eau
tions Captain Schwellenbach upon the
necessity of having his command warmly
clad and properly provided with at least
three days rati"ns.

The prospect of trouble is slight. 1t Is
true the Totten Indians are restless, aEd,
being short OF ratlOns may attempt somt
sort of a demonstration against the sur

adjustment of stomach difficulties, and
with that problem solved-the scare ends.

AS to the half breeds from over the

unfounded stories are put atioat now

and in all probability this story IS of a
piece with the rest. Left to themselves
the nations wards in the vicinity of the
Turtle mountains are among the least
likely to court the bullets of either state
or government troops. They are, as a
rule, highly civilized; have permanent
homes, and all necessary implements of
industry. It is absurd then that people

the heeting glory of raising few scalps
and losing their own lives. As there are

however, the precautionary steps thus
far taken by the Authorities appear to be
fully warranted.
The best medical writer's claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of appllca-
ton, and one that will reach all the re-
mote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh dur

one remedy has met these conditions,
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
