The ground on which the Minnesota state
prison is located was once the scene of a fierce
conflict between the Chippewa and Sioux tribes
of Indians. Where now is heard the hum of
busy industry once resounded with the wild
whoop of the noble red man as he exultantly
bore aloft the reeking scalp of his enemy. The
battle began at dawn and ragged with bitter in
tensity throughout the day. The Sioux Indians
we're the attacking party, and they had sworn
not to spare one of their hated enemies. The
two tribes had lived in peace for some time pre-
vious. but some act the Chippewas had reused
the slumbering hatred which nothing but blood
would appease 1t is said that a young Sioux
brave had woed andVon the heart of Chippewa
maiden. On the day of battle they met. She
begged him to spare her life; to make her his slave
and she would serve him faithfully while life
remained. The young brave dare not violate his
oath. neither could he strike the fatal blow; he
passed by the duplicating maiden, and a minute
| later a tOmahawx was buried in her brain. These
| memories of the past were revived by an Incl
dent which occurred last week. A crew of men
who were employed digging a sewer running
along the east wall of the prison discovered. at
! the depth of ten feet below the surface of the
earth bones which closely resembled those OF
the human race. We carried some of the bones
| to our office and gave them to a member OF our
staff who has made a study of anatomy for eX
animation. After a careful examination he pro-
nounced them the tiyia, fibula and femur bones

Tenth Annual Last Mans Banquet Of
Company B, at Sawyer House.

Eleven of the surviving comrades of Company
B. First Minnesota regiment, assembled last
Sunday evening at the Sawyer house to partake
of a banquet, in accordance with the custom es-
tablished at the time of the organization of the
Last Man's' club and which custom is to be
religiously observed until in the fullness of time,
the asst man sits down at the last banquet, soil

1t is coincidence that just "a years ago yester-
day the battle of Bull Run was fought, and on
Sunday, July %, one week later, an extra was
issued from the Messenger office, one column
wide and five or six inches long, announcing the
meagre returns from that frghtfu battle field.
The reader of today must bear in mind that
we had no telegraph lines nearer than Lacrosse
that everything incident to the transmission OF
news at that particular juncture was in state
of chaos and when, after the expiration of sever
days of suspense and terror such news as ap

sit and at this season of the year
pick the luscious ripe grares.

THERE is some dissatisfaction ex-
pressed among the farmers as to
the distribution of prizes offered by
the COlfax fair, They claim that
it is hardly the proper thing to of
fer a - prize for the best pig, or SO
for the best COW, and 5000 to the
winner Of the bicycle race, who will
likely be a Spokane or Portland
rider. This may appear an unfair
division, but people do not exhibit
their stock or products for the cash
prize alone, as that would go a
small way toward paying the eX-
pense entailed by the exhibition,
and is secondary consideration,
the prime consideration being the
honor that attaches through being
the owner or producer Of the prize
winning animal or products. lfthe
cash prize alone should be consid-
cred the exhibits at these fairs
would be few indeed. On the other
hand to make a series Of bicycle
races attractive the prize offered
must be sufficient to induce good
riders to be present However, it
might have been more patriotic had
the management Of the fair made a
more equal division Of prizes, and
restricted the races to county riders
alone. This would not have mater
tally impaired the attendance at the
fair, and would have been more sat
isfactorv to the PEG Die Of the county
generally But a little thing like
this should prejudice no one against
Whitman's fair, and all should com
bine in making it rousing success.

THE MOONS POWER OVER
THE WEATHER.

Fallacies about the moon are
numerous, such as that the full
moon clears away the clouds; that
YOU should only SOW beans or cut
down trees in the Wane of the moon;
that it is a bad sign if she changes
on Saturday or Sunday; that two
ialI moons in a month will cause a
flood; that to see the Old moon III
the arms of the new brings on rain,
and many others, Of which a cata-
logue alone would tax up good
deal of space, Nj. Flammaron says
that the moons influence on the
weather is negligible. The heat
reaching us from the moon would
only affect our temperature by
twelve milIionths Of degree; and
the atmospheric tides caused by the
moon would only affect the bar
ometric pressure for a few hun
dredths. of an inch-a quantity far
less than the changes which are al
ways taking place from other
causes" On the whole we are dis
posed to agree with the rhyme which
thus sums up the subject:
The moon and the weather
May change together;
But change of the moon
Does not change the weather.
Even the halo round the moon
has been discredited, for Mr., Lowe
found that it was as often followed
by fine weather as by rain, and
Messrs. Marriott and Abercromby
found that the lunar halo immedi-
ately preceded rain in thirty-four
cases out of siXty-one. We always
have a lingering hope that some
future meteorologist will disentangle
the overlapping influences, and ar
rive some day at a definite proof
that our stallite after all has some
thing to do with our weather.

for their protection. so that they
are still as open to treSpasscrs as
the unreserved lands although they
cannot be sold. 1t has been urged
that one superintendent, with d
force of assistants, should be placed
on each of these reservations, but
an act introduced at the last session
of congress proposed instead that
the secretary of war be authorized
to make such a detail of troops for
the purpose as the secretary of the
interior might require.
Since that legislation was not
finally secured, it may be asked
why the war departmentcannot act
on its own authority, as it does in
protecting the Yellowstone, Yosem-
tie, Grant and Sequoia parks by
details of troops, The answer is
that this authority can not be eXer
clsed lawfully without the express
direction of congress, the judge ad-
vocate general having given an
opinion to that effect, on which the
war department felt bound to act.
There is 30 doubt, however, that
the details of troops to some or all
of these forest reserves just spoken
of would be the best method of pro
tection.-NeW York Sun.
