VALUE OF AN INDIAN SCALP
Minnesota Paid It's Pioneers Bounty
for Every Redskin Killed

It is not generally known. in' latter day
Minnesota history that the state treas
ury once paid out cash as bounties for
Sioux InGi.an scalps, just as this and
many other states are now paying for
wolf scalps. State Treasurer Koerner
yesterday, in looking over the 1863 re-
port of State Treasurer Charles Schaff.
discovered the following item among the
disbursements of that year:
]. C. Davis, Sioux scalp. 1925
This item occurs in the list of dis
bursements amounting In all to $7,S70.06,
under the head "Suppressing Indian
War" The $25 paid to J. c. Davis for
the Indian scalp in question therefore,
had, its niche IN the cause Of suppress
ing, or spreading, the Sioux outbreak. 1t
doubtless strikes the general reader that
s25 is rather a small inducement for
securing Sioux scalps. Few hunters to-
Gay would care to contract for pelts OF
that kind for that figure. Perhaps tnae
is why more scalps were NOT presented
to the state treasurer for bountles. Inc
above is the only recorded case so 1ar
as search of the treasurer's reports
yesterday revealed
But it is quite possible mat otner
bounties for Indiaga scalps were paid and
not itemized, appearing In the pub
lished report Jumped With other INDIAN
war expenditures. At least, II the rec
objection of two pioneers OF LIE Sueur
county Is correct, there was $lO0 paid
for one scalp in that county and $500 for
another The adjutarN general was
called on by these pioneers the other day
to settle dispute on the question, and
that official called to his assistance
Judge FlanGreau, who In pioneer days
was Sioux Indian agent and one of the
active men ee1gaged in putting down the
Sioux outbreak. Judge Flandreau
finally got State Treasurer Koerner en-
listed in the work of tracing up bounties
for Sioux scalps. But the above is the
only case which appears to have been
itemized in the published reports

would be invented. Nevertheless such a
machine has just come before the public
and it has been proved by tests that it
will do exactly what is claimed for it..
No name has ever been given this re-
markabe invention, but it can honest
ly be called the wonder machine of the
century.
Think of a contrivance of inventive
genius that actually moves or remains
stationary, just as you may will, just
80 long as you give it your attention.
This strange creation was conceived in
the brain of a French savant, M. Savary
dOdiardi, who is at present in London.
He has made the idea. this machine rep
resents and the human emotions the
study Of his life, and knows more Of the
real facts concerning humanity than
probably any other savant of the present
day. He has, indeed, practically solved
the problem of mental telegraphy, and
with this machine approaches nearer to
one of the unknown forces of nature
than has any one else for at least CEN
turies.
He declares that we are stll in the
twilight of experiment, and with this
remark ushers you into the presence of
that tiny little machine that before you
are done with 1t will fill Won with I'M
canny thoughts and make your sur
roundings seem eerie for many an hour
To be technical for moment. let us call
the little instrument a register of cere-
bral force, or, in other words. machine
that indicates to us just what we think.

ors study, workshop or laboratory

and upon this rests a glass bell, the

anything like that. But it reflects the
human emotions as nothing that was
ever conceived before has done. 1t Is as
delicate as it is possible for machine to
be, and the more one studies it, the more
one realizes the delicacy of his emo
tions"
This is by no means all that the ma
chine will accomplish, for 1t is immedi-
ately responsive to love, hate, uncer-
tairsty, joy, sorrow and other kindred
emotions. AS 1 stood in front of the in
strument thought of hate and instnatly
the needle receded from me violently.
Love followed hate in my brain and the
needle came toward me at once and di-
rectly. My thoughts grew uncertain and
the needle moved in many directions In
amless fashion. By an effort I con-
centrated my mind upon the thought
that 1 wanted that needle to come and
remain before me. Quicker than l could
have expressed my wish the needle

A BEAUTIFUL CAPE
The waist was simple blouse in the

sleeves were coat sleeves puffed at the

But the distinguishing feature was the
golf cape, which extended to the fsst
and was made of hunters green cloth
with satin face. 1t was lined with
heavy Persian silk Of pinkish hue with
magenta figures upon it. The lining was
90 beautiful that do not wonder that
the lady held her cloak open. Around
her neck was a collar and short cape OF

She wore hunters green toque, with
quills at the side. From her belt hung
all the silver things that are now g

those that will be the most expensive.
A very trim walking suit for this time
of year is made of dark green cloth. Thc
skirt is gored close over the hips, with
the fulness laid in broad plaits at the
back. Three bands of silver fox trim
the bottom of the skirt. They are put on
in round scallops.
The coat of the green cloth fits snug.
1t reaches barely to the top of the
broad fur girdle al the back, and is cut
with two round points at the front thai
reach below the belt. 1t fastens at the
front over little vest made of the fur.
The revers are of fur also. The sleeves
of the cloth are close fitting with the
suggestion of fullness at the top. They
have gauntlet cuffs of the fur.
WALKING DRESSES
The simplest walking dress among this
season models is unusually attractive.
1t is built of dark blue cheviot. The skirt
! is a gored one, trimmed around the bot
| tom with three broad bias bands of the
cloth, cut slightly on the curve to insure
fullness around the edge. The cor
sage is Russian blouse, made on the
| IlneS OF Shlrt waist, Win a snort
pointed yoke at the back.
At the front the fullness is laid in two
narrow plaits on each side of the broad
middle box plain. The sleeves are coat
sleeves with a little fullness al the top
The collar is arranged to be worn with
a high linen collar andi black MORE tie
| A red cloth costume that has just been
| fashioned for California heiress who is
spending the season here is quite attrac-
| tive. The skirt is godet with quite a
flare at the bottom. 1t is trimmed
arourad with three rows OF black braid
knotted al intervals to form round seal
| lops.
The corsage is full blouse out of the
red cloth that blouses over a black
patent leather belt trifle. To be worn
over the blouse is short bolero of fur,
WITH the left side crossing over and
fastening at the right shoulder.
Many of the smartest of this seasons
suits are in dark green cheviot, over
which capes of different kinds of fur are
worn.
The season as it starts out promises
few tight-fittiCg coats, the majority be-
ing full and fanciful.
