Hon. D. S. Hall, chairman of the
Chippewa Indian Commission was a
passenger on the south bound East
ern Minnesota train, last Thursday.
He informed the writer that he had
just returned from a visit to the Mile
Laos Indians and found them more
disposed to talk over their contem-
plated removal to White Earth than
at any previOussmeeting he had held
with them. Mr.. Hall thinks that
some of the settlers aud traders are
not so anxious for the Indians re.
moyal as they appear to be. In fact,
he says, the traders urge the Indians
to remain. But go they must event

The Increment of the LOGS.

From the 1.umberman.
Theheavy rain fall in the early part
of the week has had the effect to as
sist log driving on the upper Mississ-
ippi. Reports yesterday morning
say that the water has risen two feet
at Aitken and eighteen inches at
Brainerd. The rise at Aitken was
due in part to the water from the
government dam at sPokegema lake.
The water is not being let through
very rapidly, and the logs lying a.
bove-the Bear river and Indian res
ervation logs-are lying in the same
condition as reported a week ago.
They still lie waiting until the water
shall be drawn off from Pokegema
lake sufficiently to permit them to be
driven.
The rear of the Prairie river drive
is just above the, mouth of Swan
river. A jam of these logs about
three miles long has been formed on
Oxbow rapids, containing probably
20, 100000 feet Of logs. A large crew
was put on this last Tuesday. Tht
r,ar of the Swan river drive is about
ten miles below the mouth of Swan
river, but the rear is very light. The
greater part ofthe Swan river logs
are now below Brainerd. It is esti-
mated that,no over IL, 00O, 600 feet Of
Of this drive is yet to reach Brainerd-
a jam some time ago, about 20 miles
long, near the mouth of the Swan,
left heavy rear spread out upon the
bottoms. These logs are now being
hauled in. .z
The Pine river drives are prosper.
ing, The Nelson & Tenney logs are
all sluiced through the Cross lake
dam, twelve miles from the mouth OF
the Mississippi. The G. a. Smith and
e. w Backus logs are probably
sluicing through the dam to-day,
with rear in Whitefsh lake. It will
take about twelve days to get the
rear through the Cross lake dam.
The Cross lake logging company has
about ten days Of hauling to Cross
lake BY rail to clear up. their logs.

LOOKS LIKE MURDER.
Edwin Teller, a St. Cloud Surveyor
Meets His Death At
Brainerd,

On Saturday afternoon telegram
was received from Brainerd at the
office of Mr.. N. P. Clark, this city,
saying that Edwin Teller, land
cruiser employed by him, was at
that place badly hurt and uncon-
scious. Mr.. Clark at once answered
to have the injured man taken to the
hospital and given the best possible
attention. In the evening a second
telegram was sent asking for further
particulars. 1t was responded to
with the information that Teller
was badly hurt about the head.
At midnight another telegram was
received saying that he had died.
Another dispatch said that Teller
died OF apoplexy.
The news of his death and the cir
cumstances connected with it, as
they were learned here, created a
strong suspicion that Teller had met
with foul play. Mr.. Clark said that
he had no doubt such was the case.
At Mr.. Clark's office it is learned that
Teller left st. Cloud last Thursday
evening. He was sent to Thunder
and Crooked Lakes to look up some
and find meadows where hay could
be cut for the numbering camps: He
was to leave Brainerd on Friday
morning by stage. Instead of this,
however, he remained at Brainerd,
and was last seen at Stratton's
hotel and saloon. The next m orning
Saturday he was found in an I'M
conscious condition in Stratton's
barn.
Teller's father, Mr.. Clement Teller,
of this city, lett last night for Brein-
erd and has telegraphed that he will
return tomorrow morning with the
remains.
The man who has met his untimely
death has been for many years in the
employ of Mr.. Clarke, who speaks OF
him only in the highest terms as an
honest, straightforward and trust
worthy man.
The only fault he had was that he
occasionally drank quite heavily,
and it is thought that this had some
thing to do with his death, as he
was under the influence of liquor
when at Stratton's place Friday
night. He was man of about forty
yeors of age and leaves a wife and
seven children.

''ProyOkingly" Prospe' GUS Country.

"Proyokingly" Prospe' GUS Country.
The New York Herald desires the
election Of Cleveland, yet the Herald
is bound to confess the prosperity
Of the country under President
Harrison's administration and the
operation Of the Mckinley law. No
wonder the Herald calls the condition
Of the country "provokingly" healthy.
Says the Herald:
''The business Of the country is, in
a provokingly healthy and flourishing
condition. Imports-during the fiscal
year ending June 80 were greater than
those of any former year, amounting
to eight hundred and thirty-three
million dollars, while exports also
exceeded the highest record and
reached the enormous aggregate of
one billion twenty-seven million
dollars. Railroad earnings for the
first six months of the year are
greater than those for: any similar
period in history, and the output of
manufactures has been greater than
ever before. Business failures for
the first half of the present year have
been one thousand fewer in number
and forty million dollars less in gross
liabilities than they we're during the
corresponding period Of 1891. New
industrial enterprises for manufacture
ing iron, cotton: and wooden fabrics
are going into operation in various
sections, and while the margin of
profits is small. business is on solid
foundation, and the outlook in every
direction is hopeful and encouraging.
The grain crop is promising, money is
abundant and collections are easy.
In the face of such condition of
things the calamity bowler mnst
remain silent. His bowling will
scare nobody, not even himself, for
he is too smart not to realize that
the country is in a velously
prosperous condition and likely to
continue So.

CITY Council. q

The council met Friday evening
to hear the report of the sewer COM
mittee and to transact such other
business as was deemed necessary.
There were present Aid. Button,
Townley, Mahan, Butler, Mcdonald
and President Moeglein. M
The reading of the minutes OF the
meeting was dispensed with.
It was decided that 600 feet OF hose
be purchased for the fire department
and bids and samples of hose were
presented by w. H. Geisselman of w.
s. Mott & Go. Minneapolis, and by
J. T. Black, representing the Chicago
Fire Hose Company. After opening
the bids and comparing samples Mr..
Black s hid of a ~ inch rubber hose
at 81 per foot was considered the
cheaper and the closing of q contract
with him authorized. He warrants
his article for six years and guaran-
tees It to withstand a pressure OF 500
pounds per,square inch.
Aid. Mahan brought up the matter
ofcompletfng the sidewalks on the
West Side. 1t was developed during
the discussion that followed that the
city has now no method of enforcing
the building OF a sidewalk other than
to do the work itself and then wait
a year, or until the next years taxes
are paid, to be reimbursed. There is
at present no system of penalties for
a non-conformity to the councils or
ders, and no way of changing it un-
der the present charter. 1t was de-
cided to build what were absolutely
necessary the present year and have
the charter changed by the next leg
islature. The street commissioner
was instructed to ascertain the loca-
tions of walks yet remaining unbuilt
and to give the owners Is days no.
tice-then to build them himself.
The purchase OF an expander and
two dozen rings for use on damaged
hose was auth orized. This will give
the department about 200 feet of hose
that has remained idle for some time.
Aid. Butler and Townley, of the
committee on sewers, reported pro-
gross. They had advertised for bids
for the work in the three local papers
and the St. Paul Globe and Mime
apolis Tribune and bids were to be
opened Aug. 3. This time has been
extended to Aug. 10, as the specifica-
tons, though prepared, were not
gotten out in pamphlet form. Acer.
titled check for $500 must accompany
each bid. The work must be com.
pleted by November 1.

The chairman of the poor committee
was instructed to obtain place in

to begin an action against the town

sibility for the keeping of Rhodes.
The hearing on the application o.
Chas. Pierce for liquor license, was
postponed to the next regular meet

} the method to pursue to enforce tn,

This is about as much as butter is

I am not a candidate in the sense
that am seeking the nomination or
will make any fight to secure it,. A
large number of my friends believe
that this end of the county is entitled
to some recognition from the
