INDIAN CAMP WIPED OUT.
More Victims of the Flames in
Minnesota.

PoKKeAMA, Mimi, Sept. IA courier
brings report that the bodies of twenty
three Chippewa Indians, bucks, seuaws
and papooses, were found upon the
sands between here and Opstead, a
small settlement on the eastern shores
OF Lacmille Laos. They are scattered
over ten miles Of country, and will, in
all probability, prove food for buzzards
and wolves, az the country whore thew
lie is too far from civilization for burial
ceremonies.
The Indians left their reservation two
months ago and built hunting lodge
along one of the forks of Shadridge
creek. Chief Wsscouta was the big
chief OF the party and ne persisted with
his followers. The first body found by
the courier was that Of an infant barely
year old. Then came those of two
squaws and Eve children. They had
evidently turned west when the fires
swept through the forest.
A ride OF mile brought him to q pile
OF ashes which marked the site of the
hunting camp. There was one teppe, the
shrlveled rawhide thongs marking the
place where it stood. Around it were
the ruins OF half dozen birch wood
bark shanties, and protruding from the
ashes were the fused barrels of rifles
and shotguns. Then the pathway for

presided at to-nights meeting and In.
troduced the speakers. Great enthus-s
iasm prevailed and Speaker Crisp was
greeted with tremendous applause when
he was presented. Among other things
he said:
When the FiftY-third Congress met
in August OF last year 1t was confronted
with difficulties which seemed almost
insurmountable. Trade was paralysed,
manufacturing had almost ceased, labor:
was idle, our banking institutions fail;
ing and confidence, the life and soul OF.
commerce WAS utterly destroyed.
I'm SO far as this deplorable condition
was attributable to legislation, the Re-
publican party was responsible. The
condition which confronted us, while
not wholly, was very largely duo to evil
legislation.
The Democratic party enters nnnn;
Its contest with Republicsnism and
every other temporary issue which NAV;

hoped to do, we have done moro in the
past year to redress the wrongs of the
people, we have done moro for their
feiiet than was ever done by any party
! in the same length of time in any
country under tho sun. These are bold
words, yet 1 hold myself st all times
ready to defend them. Coming into
power at time OF panic, when business
was as standstill, when labor was un.
employed, when our Treasury wass
empty, with courage and fidelity We
entered upon struggle with the
enemies OF the people; we emerged from
that struggle victorious in this:
we have repealed the McKinley law;
we have greatly reduced taxation; We
have made living cheaper; we have made
all money taxable; we have taxed SUR
Plus incomes; We have restored freedom
OF elections; we have reduced public ex-
penditures. and we have declared I'm
dying hostility to all trusts and monop-
olies, organized for the oppression Of
the people. On these foundations we
build our houses. On these issues wa

BUENA VISTA, Sept. THE frat SEES
sion of the Young Ladies College
opened this week with full faculty
and good number of students in at.
tendance. Rev. DR.. j. |. Miller. the
principal. with his twenty-four years
experience in teaching behind him,
feels sanguine Of success. He has q
good prestige, strong faculty, liberal
patronage for the times and q good de-
nominational backing. He is a promi.
nent minister of the Lutheran Church.
The college, however, is not a seotarian
institution by any means. but liberal
and cosmopolitan. The BUILDING in
which it is housed is magnificent. It.
was built for hotel in boom times at a
cost of $50, 600 and is fitted up in m odern
style, with every possible comfort and
luxury, such as electric lights, electric
Dolls, steam heat, hot and cold water in
every room, bath rooms and water
closets on every floor. The arrange
ment OF the building makes it admirably
adapted for college work and its loca.
ton is all that could be desired. We
predict great future for Young Ladies'
College.

Mr.. o. G. Rucker, of Bedford, the
nominee of the Third and Fourth par
ties for Congress in the Sixth district,
informally opened the campaign last
night by making speech at Bohn's
hall on Park street nor Invest. Rev. J.
A. Brumbaugh opened the meeting with
prayer and B. Lacy Hoge made few
rem arks in introducing the speaker, in
which he said this was not the real
opening of the campaign; that would be
formally done September IT. when the
Roanoke citizens would be addressed by
Rev. Sam Small and Hon. j. Rush
Miller.
Mr. Rucker, whose presence in this
city was accounted for by the fact tn at
no came to consult the leaders OF the
two parties for which he Is bearing the
standards, spoke about forty five min
utes and the burden of his song was
silver. The Populo Prohibitionist candi.
date is fair too look upon and has more
the appearance OF well-to do farmer
than Congressman.
He started out in lullaby-like monot-
onous monotone that was particularly
pleasing to the solemn and sedate pro
hibitionists as we'll as the more radio 81
Populists, but as he proceeded he warmed
up and spoke forcibly and at times a
vein of rugged eloquenoe displayed it
self in his discourse.
He began by stating that one year
after the civil war the people were more
prosperous than at the present time;
then the circulating medium Of currency
was $50 per capita, now it is only S. 12
This discrepancy he seemed to attribute
largely to the Democratic party who
were also responsible for q number OF
other ills. The Republicans came in
for only small share OF his condem-
alton.
He made the rather remarkable state.
ment that silver is now demonetized
and that all silver coin is not money any
moro than wheat or corn, but ia simply a
commodity. What we want" he con-
tinued, lis more money and less
whlskey." He rotated that there was a
barroom in the middle of the capitol at
Washington, and large number of
representatives spent moro time at the
bar than at their desks.
The speaker referred to the candi-
dates of the two dominant parties as be
ing available men and "organizers" in
stead OF men selected as suitable for the
place. John G. Calhoun, Daniel Web
ster, Henry Clay, he said, were not Or
ganizers and did not have to flood the
country with photographs and invitations
to their daughters wedding to secure
the nomination. Although Mr. Rucker
is not professional politician he showed
that he knew q thing or two in speaking
in the Fifth ward, which is known to
have been so strongly in favor OF Hon.
John Goode, by referring to that gentle
man as the "bronzed lion of Bedford
HOnaqt John Gnndo IL
Mr.. Goode were literally applauded.
The announcement was made at the
meeting that the committee and workers
OF the Populist party would hold a
meeting Monday night at o'clock in
the building at the corner Of Commerce
street and Salem avenue and that the
Prohibition committee would meet in
another room in that building at the
same time.
