Yeager, one of the Cooley gang of out
laws that make their headquarters in
the mountains of this vicinity, was cap
tured and brought to Jail here yester-
day. He and Brint Frey, another of
the gang, came into the village of Hope
wood yesterday morning and boldly
walked around the streets and into the
stores. Sheriff Mccormick was notified
and went to Hopewood. He captured
Frey and left him in charge of Postmas-
ter Dawson while he went to capture
Yeaser, but that outlaw had already
been captured by a deputy. During the
absence of the sheriff Frey got away

denied the treaty, and another
was made in 1925. Nevertheless,
the Indians under Black Hawk, IN
1881, in defiance of five treaties on
the subject, recrOssed the Mississippi
from the west, drove away the white
settlers from Rock Island and yicin-
ity, and established themselves again
in their former abodes. Gov. Rey-
nolds, with a body of militia, COM
PEELED the Indians to retreat across
the river, and the treaty of 1881 was

Of the great river.
War Was Inevitable,
In April, 1882, Black Hawk, with
all the force he could rouse, recrossed
the Mississippi from the west, pro-
ceeded up Rock River, and thus burst
forth the storm Of dreadful war.
Rev. Barton Cartwright, a nephew
OF the famous pioneer preacher, Peter
Cartwright, and who was a circuit
rider through the territory made his
toric by the war, and who has prob
ably had the best source Of informa-
tion on the subject of any living man,
resents the assertion that the war
was an unnecessary one growing out
Of an unprovoked attack on Black
Hawk by Major Stillman's forces. He
says that Black Flwk's braves at.
tempted TO massacre the forces at
Stillman's Run while they slept. The
alarm was given, and the soldiers be-
gan the attack which resulted in the
bloody war.

Not long since at a pleasant lunch
given by lady of artistic tastes, yellow
lilies were the chosen blossoms, and
were arranged with no green but their
own leaves in glasses of various height
AMI sizes. In the crntre of the table
was bank of moss into which fern
fronds were thrust irregularly. and
among the ferns the lilies we're
grouped. At each plate was spray of
lilies and grasses tied with long. yellow
ribbons. Yellow lamp shades were
used, and the glass ware was of faint
golden tint that assisted in making an
effect as of sunshine.

THE IMANTOPYLLUM.

Concerning this handsome but rarely
cultivated flower, Eben Rexford in the
Ladies Home Journal SAYS:
These beautiful Cape bulbs are close
ly allied to the Olivia, and belong to
the Amaryllis family. They are among
the most desirable OF this class for
room decoration. Yet, they are not
often seen in the collections of anna
teurs because the idea is prevalent that
they cannot be depended on for flo "
ers. Judging from my experience,
they are much more reliable than any
of the Amaryllises. My plants produce
flowers regularly.
The leaves are thick, leathery in tex
ture, and dark-green in color They
are evergreen, and the plant, like the
Agapanthus, seems able to keep on
growing all the year round. The bulbs
are quite small, but send ont a great
therefore the plant must be given con-
siderable pot-room. 1t likes n soil
n ade up of turfy loan, rotten manure
and some sand. The roots are inclined
to come to the surface of the soil. but
it should not be inferred from their
appearing there that the plant requires
shifting to larger pot. Give a semi
weekly application of liquid manure
when buds appear. It is propagated
by division OF the roots. Oblige it to
rest somewhat in Summer by Keeping
it rather dry. The flowers last a long
time if not kept too warm. They are
shaped like those of the Valotta, and
are of about the same size, and are
borne on stalks about foot IN height,
from four to SIX in a cluster. In col II
they are reddish-orange. Old plants
vii become so large that they require
large pots or tubs. When in this con-
dition they are charming plants for the
decoration of the greenhouse and con-
servatory.

from the vase, they are secured by
passing round, in different directions,
little psckthread or fine wire, which
soon disappears under the vegets-
ton.
If non-porous vase, after having
well soaked the cloth which covers it,
the seed is sown upon it and the same
care is given it as has already been in
dicated. When a porous vase is used
it should be kept constantly full, as it
is the water filtering SLOWLY through it
that feeds the plants which cover the
sides. If that be insufficient to insure
vigorous growth, the vase must be
watered, taking care to pour the water
cautiously, SO as not to detach the
plants.

COMMON NAMES OF FLOWERS.

This topic suggests to me much
pleasing "Reminiscences, says a writer
in Vick's Magazine:
Those interested in plants who can
recall thirty years or more in this re-
gion have the experience of seeing an
unknown, wilderness OF flowers chris
tened. Pioneers naturally bestowed
names already familiar, and thus it
happened that several plants frequently
received the same name, as different
individuals fancied resemblance be-
tween the new and the old.
The maiden who kept district school
could, as she passed from one neigh
borhood to another, wear ''pinks" of
every hue, culled from different or
ders. The names rose and lily were
also literally used with various dis
tinguishing adjuncts. After these there
were multitudes nameless, and all had
liberty. Many of these local names
were of more significance than the
ones generally accepted. Moccasin
flower ID certainly much more appli

Daft on the Merits twster,

Bulwer Lytton, the father of the
Lord Lytton who has just passed
away, was profound believer in the
efficacy of the water-cure for every
body, but in particular for overworked
literary men. Whenever he was
tired out and felt the need of recu-
peration, he would go to a water-cure
establishment for few days, drink
water in unlimited quantities, and be
sweated and soaked until he had lost
half dozen pounds in weight. When
he felt sufficiently reduced he would
go back to business or pleasure, gen.
orally with horrible cold, but under
the conviction that he had been
greatly improved by the treatment.
He even wrote pamphlet or book on
the subject, In which he assumed the
ground that water would cure any,
thing if a man only took enough.

A LIVING VASE.

We clip IRON an exchange the pretty
idea given below for making a charm
ing floral ornament:
This process of oruamenting vases is
by no means new; but, as the thing Is
still far from being common, and as it
may give some one a new Idea by
which to beautify the home, we have
deemed it worth while TO give an exact
representation of it so as to show the
results, and to indicate the means en-
ployed to obtain it, which are most
simple. Though any kind of vases
can be used scriminately, those IN
unglazed terra-cotta are preferable,
being porous. In such vessels the
water with which the vase is filed per-
colstes constantly through the sides
and woistens the plants which are fas-
tened to its surface. This kind of
vase is, however, not indispensable,
for we can ornament all kinds, whether
in glass or metal. In the latter case it
is necessary to prepare the surface so
Us to convert it into a sort of soil,
which it really presents-an operation
which Is easily managed by the aid Of
piece CT cloth or flannel which is
fixed by means of a packthread or thin
iron or brass wire. This being under
stood, the means employed to grow
the seed must next be described.
If a porous vase be used it IS filed
with water or, better still, left in a
pail of water to soak After a lapse
of twentyfour hours, when the water
has thoroughly saturated the vase, it
is laid on its side, and the
seed sprinkled slightly over the
surface, taking care to turn the
vase IN different directions, in
order that the whole surface may be
well covered with seed. This opera
ton determined, the vase is placed in
a dark closet for some time, and, if
possible, under glass frame so as to
preserve humidity and facilitate germ
ination. When the plants are de-
veloped, and in case they get detached

In one of these holes insert q match

Early Troubles with Black Hawk.
The causes of that war were some
what remote. The great ordinance
Of 1887 gave to the territory north
west Of the Ohio River a civil govern
ment and provided that good faith
should be observed toward the In
dians; that their lands and property
should never be taken without their
consent, but that they should be
treated with justice and with hu-
manity. Accordingly a number Of
treaties were made whereby the In.
dads sold and ceded portions of their
territory. At last, on Nov. 3, 1904, at
st. Louis, treaty was made by WILL
lam Henry Harrison, then Governor
Of Indiana Territory, with the Sac
and Fox Indians, whereby they sold
to the United States all that CONN.,
try lying south of the Wisconsin
River and east of the Misssissipp;,
which included the Rock River and
all its tributaries. At this time
Black Hawk was chief of the Sac
and Fox, and dwelt at Rock Island,
where were the graves of the Indians,
and, according to their legend, the
guardian spirit of the Sac and Fox
dwelt in cave. Soon after Black
Hawk, who possessed much cunning
and ferocity, denied the validity of
the treaty, as he had not signed it,
and said that the chiefs who did sign
it had no authority to do so. He as
sisted the British in the war Of 1912,
and in 1915 himself signed a new
treaty confirming the treaty of 1904.
Then, again, Black Sparrow Hawk.
