DARK, BLOODY GROUND.
Markers Ordered for Points of His.
tOriCd1 Interest.

The Minnesota Valley Historical
Society, composed of citizens of Red
wood and Renville counties, has con-
tracted with the Peterson Granite COM
pany of st. Paul for monuments and
marking-stones to indicate the historic
sites and spots in those two counties,
made so by the Indian outbreak of
1862. These craven commentators
of deeds of blood are to consist of six
markers, two monuments and three
horse blocks, all of granite, properly
inscribed and durably placed. The
points to be marked are all in the
neighborhood of Morton, a little vii
lage in Renville county. Two miles
below Morton, on the south side of
the Minnesota river, the markers will
bear the following inscriptions:
Five hundred feet north lived Wa
basha, head chief of the Sioux Indians,
Aug. l8, 1862.
Fifty feet north stood the govern
ment agency building, Aug Is, 1862.
Forty feet north stood Myricks trad
ing post, Aug. Is, 1862.
Four hundred feet north stood For
bes' trading post, Aug. Is, 1862.
One hundred and eighty feet north
stood Roberts trading post, Aug. Is,
1862.
Here lie the remains of Hon. j. w.
Lynde, killed by Sioux Indians, Aug.
Is, 1862.
On the north bank of the river, at
the site of the old Redwood ferry, q
monument eight feet high will show
where Captain John G. Marsh and
twenty-three men of Company G, fifth
Minnesota infantry, were ambuscaded
and killed by the Indians. This mon

late and contains no whiskey nor other
intoxicant, but acts as tonic and al
terative. It acts mildly on the
stomach and bowels, adding strength
and giving tone to the organs, there
by aiding nature in the performance
of the functions. Electric Bitters is
an excellent appetizer and aids diges-
fion. Old people find it just exactly
what they need. Price fifty cents and

One of the most remarkable cures Of
rheumatism on record is related by J..
M. Thompson, postmaster at Decker's
Point, Pa, as follows: "While out driv-
ing one day last winter was caught
in a cold rain. The next morning I
was unable to move my head or arms,
owing to an attack of infammatory
rheumatism. My clerk telephoned for
physician, but suggested that use
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, there being
a bottle open on the counter. He
rubbed the affected parts thoroughly
with Pain Balm and built up a hot fire.
I dozed off to sleep and when awoke
about half an hour later the pain had
gone entirely, and I have not been
troubled since. People come here from
many miles around to buy Chamber
lain's medicines" For sale at the Otto

east, was one of the principal points of
attack by the Sioux Indians under
Big Eagle, Sept. 3, 1862.
In the then tall grass in the swale
about 800 feet north, a body of In
dams under Gray Bird attacked the
whites. Behind the hill, 400 feet to
the east, was the last point of attack
by the Indians and whence they were
driven by the relief forces into the riv-
or bottom to the south, Sept 3, 1862.
Six hundred feet south, in the ra-
vine, the whites were attacked by the
Sioux Indians, under Mah-kah-to

dams, and another some six miles
west of Morton, to mark place where
thirty women and children were mas
sacred on an area less than an acre in
extent.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Twelfth spent its New Years
day hot on the Indian trail. Into the
foothills it wound, tortuous and full of
peril, for from every projecting point,
from rock to rock and crest to crest, the
warrior rear guard poured their fire on
the advancing line. Charges were fruit
less. The nimble ponies Of the Indians
bore their riders swiftly out Of harms
way, and Only among the charging force
did casualties occur. Still, Fenton had
hung like bulldog to his task, hoping
before nightfall to catch up with the
main body and the moving village, then
to hem it in. Numerically he was lit
tie better off than the Indians, as 80
Indians can surround 500 troopers much
more effectively than 500 troopers can
surround SO mounted warriors. Through
Bat and others he had vainly striven to
communicate with Big Road, to assure
him no harm would be done; that all
that was necessary was for him to re-
turn with his people under escort Of the
regiment to the reservation. Up to
D. m. not a shot had been fired by the
Twelfth, even in response to some
times CALLING fusillade from the Indians.
By that time several men had been un-
horsed and two or three wounded, and
the thing was getting exasperating; yet,
was it worth keeping up, for Bat and
other scouts declared the fleeing Village
to be less than three miles ahead now,
and, with that overhauled, the warriors
could be brought to bay well south Of
the mountains, and to the accomplish
ment of this, without sacrificing men or
horses to any great extent, Fenton was
bending every energy when overtaken
by the first courier from Frayne.
Wayne had marked the dispatches in
the order in which they should be read,
but the only ones which much concern
ed him now were from department.
headquarters. A new king who knew
not Joseph, new general with whom
Fenton had never CHANGED to serve, was
there in command, and he, coming q

knew little Of the merits Of the politi-

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN,

Man SaYe Money.

Usually the Only Thing That WIN Make a
Man Save Money,
This is a true story, and one that
will apply to many other young men
besides this particular one, 1t is a
great pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, but so
it is.
A prosperous business man who EN-.
ploys quite number of clerks said re-
Gently that he had been led to the con-
clusion that the young man who saved
and invested his earnings is an cx-
ception to the rule. lie was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work
ing force as business fell off. The
first to be dropped were those who had
no family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, Notwithstanding their
salaries were no larger, and in some
cases less, than those drawn by single
men.
By quizzing these young, bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause of their poverty.
Some of them gambled on the quiet.
and others just naturally let it 60
right and left as long as there was any
to go,
From this he concluded that mar
riage is very good thing for young
man, provided he marries sensible.
practical sort of woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in SO doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.

Drank Amomnia by Mistake.

SALEM, Nov. 20.-The remains of
Chas. McIntire, of Hampton, Neb.,
were buried in the Lee mission ceme-
terry here this afternoon. Mr.. McIn-
tires death was due to his drinking a
glass of ammonia by mistake for self
zer water. He had sold his place, and
with his family started west, expect
ing to locate temporarily in Walla
Walla. At Bandon, 40 miles from
Hampton, where they were to board
the train, Mr.. McIntire drank with
two friends before starting. BY mis-
take the bartender set out ammonia
instead of seltzer. Mc1ntire died the
following morning. Tickets had been
purchased and the remains were en-
ballned and brought on to Salem, the
family on the way deciding to make
this their destination instead OF Walla
Walla, The Two men who took fare
we'll drink with McIntire were sick
when the family left Hampton.
The family, consisting of the widow,
four sons and daughter, expects to
remain in Salem.

HANGED AT UNION.
KeIsay Porter Atones for His Crime With
Hi. Life.

Kelsay Porter Atones for His Crime With
Hi. Life.
UNION, Or, Nov. l9.-Kelsay Por-
Ter, the slayer of the Mache family,
was hanged in this city this morning,
according to the sentence passed upon
him in October.
The execution took place at 6;45
o'clock, on a scaffold that had been
erected within the enclosure surround-
ing the county Jail. The governor
had been petitioaed to eofamute the
sentence, but no word was received
from him until last night, when the
sheriff received message stating he
could not interfere with the due course
of the law, and the sheriff at once
completed his arrangement for carry
ing out the order of the court.
Thursday evening, Porter sent for
Rev. Shields, of the First Presbyterian
church, who called on the condemned
:naa, and gave him such spiritual ad
gice as he could.
The crime for which Kelsay Porter
paid the death penalty was perpetrated
on the morning of January |, 1895, at
Porter's farm in the eastern part OF
Union county, and was the killing of
IN old man named Mache, his aged
wife and their son, Ben Mache. There
had been trouble between Porter and
the Maches about the latter crossing
his farm. On the morning of the kill
ing Porter had stationed himself on
shed beside his barn, armed with re.
beating rife. The Maches came by,
The old folks riding in sleigh and
the boy following on horseback. Por-
ter opened fire on Ben, killing him in
5tantly, then followed the old folks up
ind killed both.
Porter was tried in February, 1896,
and sentenced to be hanged on April
10. His attorneys appealed to the su-
preme court, but the lower court was
sustained, and On October 10Th of this
year, Porter was again sentenced, the
date of execution being fixed for No
vember 10. A large petit on was pre-
.ented to the governor. askihg the
entence be commuted 70 life impcis-
nmant but was refused.
