DRAMATIC NOTES,

Mrs. W. q. Jones, well known by
local theater-gOerS from her effective
impcrsolation of the role of the En-
signs mother in the play by that name,
has been engaged by Manager Frank l..
BiXby to assume the role of the leading
old woman in ''Shaft No. g." The part
is one that is said to be exactly sui.ed to
her pathetic style of acting, and she has
received many favorable criticisms for
her efforts.
Ward and Vokes as Percy and Harold
in their funny comedy by Charles e.
Blaney, called ga Run on the Bank"
are said to be making great hit. "A
Run on the Bank" is said to be Mr..
Blaney's best effort. IL is full of bright
and catchy music and funny sayings,
and the costumes the finest ever used.in
a similar attraction. The following are
a few of the people in the cast: Harry
Blaney "a Columbus boy), Larry Dooley.

interest in ethnology drew forth some
interesting facts with regard to tile
Chippewa Indians now living in Min
neSota. Chippeway is the white mans
name, Ojibwa the Indians. A stranger
asking an Indian What people are
these?" will be answered "Ojibwa,"
with accent and articulation peculiar to
the red man: A white man asked the
same question will reply "Chippeway,"
which is really his very poor imitation
OF the Indians answer.
The territory occupied by the Ojibwas
was at one time occupied by the Mound
Builders. Recent excavations on Win
nihigosish lake proiuced remains OF
these people as commonly accepted by
arch9 Ilogists. Just what was the char
acter of the people who deposited the
remains found at Winmbigossh it is
hard 10 surmise and problemttic in the
extreme, except that the cranial depth
and thickness would Indicate low or
der Of intellectual tendency, while the
spear heads and pottery OF unique con-
structltn would seem TO contradict the
first supposition. Who these people
were ami what became or them is not
Tor an ordln ry consideration, but
rather an accomplished science seems
necessary to discover, and then with
no absolute certainty. Probably the
mounds at WinnibigosiSh are nearly OF
quite the same in character as those
which are found on the banks OF the
Mississippi at ST. Paul.
After these SJ-calied mound-builders
came the Sioux Indians, more properly
called the Dakotas, and they were found
byGroseilllers and Raoisson, the first two
Whlte men 10 penetrate the territory,
now our own Minnesota, at and about
Mile Lacs lake. 1t is certain that their
habitatIons extended to Sandy, Winni-
bigosish and Leech lakes, and prac.
tieally the upper Mississippi valley,
excepting the region of Itasca lake,
which. according to statement made
by Carver in l166, was little frequented
by the Indians, as it was called the
"Road OF War;" a name given to all
countries not possessed by any one ma
ton, where war parties were OFTEN pass
ing. This Itasca, and probably the
Turtle lake region, was used as a road
of war by the Sioux and the Assipa-
DoIheS, the latter occupying territory in
the region OF what is now Winnipeg.
At the time when almost all the
northern part Of Minnesota was
Sioux territory the OiIbwas began to
encrcach from the south shore of Lake
superior, proceeding westward. Their
success in eventually driving the Sioux
from the woodlands TO the plains shows
them 10 have been AN aggressive, war
like people, and people of the woods
with canoes, AMI the Sioux became a
people of the plains, with ponies.
AT the time the Oiibwas first came in
contact with the white man, it would
appear that their physical condition was
excellent, and they were presumably
well fitted for that fierce and long eX-
tended warfare which gave to them the
whole northern half of Minnesota.
en- empire to them. which compelled
the wariike and Numerous Sioux to
retreat to the plaius. When Louisiana
came into the possession of the United
States, in 1903, Lieut.. Il. NJ. Pike was
sent up the Mississippi from the neigh
borhood of st. Louis to take possession
of this part of the domain, and to stop
