Crooks back salary for two months,
amounting to 1872, which the Mayor
has refused until the charges made
against the Chief by the Mayor are
Investigated. After the action it was

spilled in defense of this frontier, also
against the commissioners for placing
any other name than Joseph R. Brown
as the commander of the expedition.

The Wrong Card.

During his visit to Paris distin-
guished German professor presented
himself at the house Of a we'll known
lady, to whom he had sent letters of in
PRODUCTION for dance.
When the servant opened the door
and received his card, she conducted
him to the boudoir and told him to be
seated, saying:
MADAM will come Immediately.
Presently the lady entered. She was
in dishabille, and her feet were bare,
covered only with loose slippers She
bowed to him carelessly and said:
''Ah, good morning."
She threw herself on chair, let fall
a slipper and extended her pretty foot
to the professor. He was naturally COM
pletely astounded, but he remembered
that at his home in Germany it was the
custom sometimes to kiss lady's hand,
and he supposed it was the Paris mode
to kiss her foot Therefore he did not
hesitate to imprint kiss upon the fas-
cinating foot SO near him.
The lady jumped up, highly indig-
nant.
''Who are you. sir, and what do you
mean?''
He gave his name.
''Then you are not chiropodist?"
II am charmed to say, madam, that
I am not. -
"But you sent me q chiropodist's
card?"
It was true. The professor in going
out that morning had picked up the
card of chiropodist from his bureau
and put it in his pocket This, without
glancing at it. he had given to the serv-
ant, who had taken it to her mistress.
There was nothing to be done but to
laugh over the joke. -Life's Calendar.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER s, 1894.
DEDICATED.
A Great and Distinguished Crowd
at the COu1ee.

On Sept. Sd, the thirty-second anni-
versary of the memorable battle of
Birch Coulee, the city of Morton OPP
ened her gates to thousands of guests,
who came to participate in dedicating
the beautiful shaft of granite present
ed by the State, in grateful remem-
brance of the heroic defense made at
Birch Coulee by her citizens and SOL
diers.
Chairman Gilfillan, of the commit
tee, appointed by the last legislature,
delivered the monument to the State
in the following:
The commission appointed by the
Legislature of the State of Minnesota
to erect a monument to commemorate
the battle of Birch Coulee, have fin
ished their labors, and now present to
you, representing the State, the result
of their work in this granite shaft, CON
structed of the stone of our own State,
and formed and finished by workmen,
citizens of this State.
This monument will hand down
through the periods ofages the names
of the heroes who fought at Birch
Coulee, which was the last consider
able fight had with the Sioux in Min
nesota, and which in all probability
will be the last monument, save one,
erected to perpetuate events connect
ed with the outbreak of savages in our
country. The Indian race from now
on may be considered as harmless.

4 Dem. YELL FOR THE RING
The Sanborn Democratic Sheet
Purchased By the Court
House Ring.
Fifteen Hundred Copies Bought
and Being Sent Into the
Country.

On last Tuesday mornings North
western package Of Sanborn Sentin7
els, alleged to contain in the neighbor-
hood OF 1900 copies, we're received via
the American express, consigned to A.
II. Anderson, county auditor, or j.,
L. Byram, clerk Of court. This
proves conclusively that the court
house ring paid for the edition. which
the publisher did not dare to send in
full to those parties attacked, and is
also strong evidence that the court
hodse ring edited every item in the
supplement. The edition was printed
in Sleepy Eye, aside from the supple
ment on tint paper, containing the
article from local paper, which was
printed in this city and forwarded to
the pimp of the court house ring at
either Sanborn or Sleepy Eye.
This sheet, so full of billingsgate
ought to beat the court house ring out

son was supporting Mr.. Huntington,

This will make the memories lowering
about this pile and it's vicinity more
interesting and sacred. In after ages,
this region will be the Deer6eld and
Wyoming of the Northwest, read about
by all the school boys of our land with
inspired awe. Tourists in the distant
future will make pilgrimages to the
hallowed spots of this region, and
their numbers will multiply as dis
lance in time increases.
The outbreak of 1862 was the last
great uprising of the Indian race
against the peaceful settler, as it was
the greatest and most destructive of
all outbreaks recorded in the annals
of Indian history. Breaking out un-
expectedly and suddenly at the Ag-
ency, on the bluffsof the Minnesota
river, nearly opposite this point, on
Monday morning, August Is, 1862, it
spread with great rapidity in all d.
rections, extending its ravages north
and south, distance of about two
hundred miles, and east and west a
distance of seventy five miles, result
ing in the death of nearly fifteen hun
dred people, and in the destruction or
abandonment of over two thousand
homes. This monument may be con-
sidered an emblem of the eternal
gratitude of a people towards those
heroes whose bravery and fortitude
withstood the ambushed attack of q
savage foe for over 36 hours,an which
taught this foe the futility of farther
attempts to destroy the whites.
The village of Morton, in it's corpor-
ate capacity, has covenanted with the
State to forever guard the monument,
and care for its grounds. Its citizens
are most patriotic and public-spirit-
ed people, and have no doubt that
the covenant entered into by the NUM-
cipal corporation will be faithfully
kept, and the sacred trust carried out
in good faith by it's present inhabi-
tants and by those who come after
them.

Indications arc that when two Euro
pean armies eventually meet on the
field, if tho war talk ever resolves itself
into actual conflict, good many men
will faint away in terror of their adj.
versaries. The inventions" which have
been brought out lately III France, Ger
many and Austria, and which have been
purchased by the governments of those
countries, are innumorabie, and every
one Of them is designed to slaughter hu.
man life at o rate that appals tho mag
ination. The most intense and theatrie
secrecy is maintained concerning all
these Inventions, and only few gen
eral facts regarding them have been
made public The German army, it is
understood, is armed with rifles which
will send bullet through four men
standing ono behind the other at dis.
tance Of 2 = miles from the rifle. Aus
tria has machine gun which shoots
several thousand builots minute, which
is operated by steam and controlled by
a single gentleman with waxed mus
tache and monocle in his left eye, who
lightly turns crank. AT least this is
the condition of things according to the
latest illustrated journals at hand. The
man with tho eyegiass can turn the
crank fast enough to sweep 80, 900 OF

scribe q parabola in tho air, drop into
the camp Of the enemy and explode
with force enough to kill 100 or more
soldiers if they happon to be in the vi
cinity. Great numbers of them can be
thrown at time, and q pleasing and
cheerful feature Of it is that there are
no disagrooablo doors nor any smoke
whatever when the explosion occurs.
M. Turpin OF Franco is tho latest hero
in this direction. lie has invented some
thing which is so altogether awful that
the taxpayers have requested the gov
ernnent TO give NJ Turpin great
amount of money, so that he will not
turn his machine over to the Germans.
This machine is operated by electricity,
and, according to its inventor, it is Of
SO terrible nature that it will do away
with all Notifications throughout the
civilized world. This is merely detail
of the execution which this machine is
expected to accomplish. Forts will bo
of no use, because NJ. Turpin's machines
would rond them all into atoms, and at
distance Of several miles man can
NOW down the enemy at the rate Of
90, 600 at al engagement. The facts are
inspiring but there is lack Of detail
about them which is in accordance with
much of the literature which has lately
been put forth by tho various Mum
chausens among the war officers of Eu-
rope. The Turpin invention SO far out
strips everything else, according to tho
critics of modern warfare, that it will
insure universal peace. One machine
alone is enough to dcvastate a country.

Easy to Mako a Strong Cigar.

A tobacco manufacturer who moves
in a select coterie of tobacco loving
friends was recently told by one of those
connoisseurs that he had yet to find a
cigar that was too strong for him to en-
joy. Acting on tho suggestion, tho man
ufaoturer took occasion to have cigar
specially constructed of stems and neat
ly covered with rich, appetizing Ha-
vana leaf, rolled into points at both
ends. This he presented to his friend
with the wish that it might prove strong
enough to suit his taste. Suspecting
nothing, tho friend proceeded to smoke,
and was soon surprised to see Goals like
redhot nails exuding from the end Of
the cigar AS the skin peeled off his
tongue his brain began to reel, and he
soon gave up in an old fashioned attack
