MINSTRELS.-T'he popular New
Orleans Minstrels gave an enter
tainment in Town Hall last Satur-
day night. The house was filled,
and the most sanguine expectations
Of the large audience were more
than realized. It was a brilliant
success, from the opening chorus
to the final act. Every member is
an artist in his line. The singing in
the first part was excellent, and the
comedians in second part kept the
house in q constant uproar. We will
refrain from special mention, AS all
we've perfect and each member came
in for an encore, from the biggest
clear down to Little Myrtle, the
sprightly child wing dancer. All
present were highly pleased with
the performance, and the New
Orleans Minstrcls left a highly
favorable impression, which insures
them q rousing reception whenever
they choose to visit our town.
They proceeded from here to
Vaudeville, where they were
greeted with = large audience Sun
day night.
As the business season, when cot
ton begins to move aud to pull
money out Of itshiding places, is
now coming on, We deem it right
and opportune to notify the public
that merchants who advertise their
stores and stocks, are the men who
want business, are the men from
whom to buy goods. Cash buyers
should keep the fact in their menu
cries that merchants who are too
to advertise what they
have to sell are generally a hard
lot to get bargains from. Let
readers Of this paper look over its
advertising columns and select the
merchants whose invitations are
out to customers and go
and deal with such merchants when
money is TO be invested in the
stores in Covington. Such mer-
chants want the public's business,
and they will do the public
square and fair.
The Town Hall stage should lie
This could easily he
done by building dressing rooms
back of the stage, and removing
the present ones. The ceiling over
the stage could be raised > few
feet, which would render the voices
more distinct, and in doing this q
platform could be built in the up
per hall, directly over the stage,
for the use of the band upstairs.
One or two entertainments would
funds to make these
needed improvements. We make
these suggestions with the hope
that they will meet with . favora-
BILE response. The changes would
be a great improvement, and it any
one will take the matter in hand,
we have no doubt they will receive
the consent and assistance Of
the Council.

waves, even at this late day, from time
It is not improbable that two or three
thousands of Dakotas died in defense
of their homes on the lake which was
the best loved of the Indians.
The Dakotas who had been driven
from Mile Laos made their home on
the Rum river and there remained I'M
til ITO, when the ambitious expedition
of the Dakotas to the headwaters of
the Mississippi river ended in the de-
feat of the Chippewas in the great bat
tie of Crow Wing. -af. =
The region between the Mississippi
and the St. Croix continued for more
than hundred years to be the battle
ground of the two great Indian nations,
but the prairie Indians never again
regained control the Mile Laos lake
country, and it was soon settled by
emigrating bands of Chippewas from
the St. Croix river country, who had
intermixed with the Sioux. The
principal chief of the band which lived
ON Rice lake belonged to the Awause
or Catfish totem family and died with
out male issue. His only daughter
married a Dakota chief, who belonged
to Wolf clan of the Dakotas. During
the peace he resided with his wife at
Rice lake, and his two sons afterwards
became chiefs, inherited their fathers
totem, and thus introduced the Wolf
clan into the Ojibway nation. Thus
Dakota blood was Infused into a. line of
chiefs which still rules over the Mile
aLaes Indians. Chief Wah-we-ye-a
cumig, who is now the head of the
Mile Laos band, is in the line of di-
rect descent from the Dakota chieftain.
AS other families became of mixed
blood at the same time, the Mile Laos,
Indians, though of the Chippewa ma
ton, did not afterwards possess the
bitterness of their nation against the.
people they were forever driving vest
ward, and became a sort of buffer be-
tween the two nations. Often they re-
manned neutral in the wars, and while
only some glazing outrage on the part
up arms, they were always a. conven-
lent medium for peace negotiations.
The long peace which followed the
war in which the Ojibways captured
Mile Laos lake was brought to an
abrupt termination in the most unex-
pected manner. A party of Dakotas,
who lived on Lake St. Croix, were
F'making their hearts strong" for an
inroad on some southern tribe, when,
in the excitement of the war dance, a
full-blOod Dakota shot an arrow into a
half-blood Ojibway, who had his home
among the Sioux. The wounded man
recovered from the wound, but the
memory of the treacherous deed rank
led in his heart. He returned to his
own people and raised a war party,
which, returning, almost annihilated
this village of the Sioux. It was one
of the most successful raids ever made
by the Ojibways on the Dakotas, and it
is said that at each encampment on
their homeward march each of the
scalps was placed on a stake three or
four feet high. These stakes being
placed close together in a straight row,
San arrow shot by a strong arm from
one END of this row fell short at the
other.'

the womans late husband, was the son
of A prominent Methodist divine and
merchant of Morgantown. The father
died recently. but his mother Is stu nv

Kitchens Is about - years old and Is re

Morris. her birthplace. and surrounding
tews. She was beautiful in face and
form. with 4 certain bewitchlng style
that TO some men Is irresistible. 10
these charms Beatty fell victim. Her
natural beauty was always heightened
bv handsome dressing. In late years
however, it is said, she has indulged
heavily in drink, which has robbed her
of much of her beauty.
Edna Kitchens was the daughter OF
Jacob and Margaret South, plous, God
fearing Methodists, who trained her and
their four other children in pious ways
Asa child she was beautiful and as a
maiden was the conceded belle of Mt
| Morris. When IS years old, in 1886. she
married William Kitchens, their wed
ding being a notable society event.
| Kitchens was then in business in Nor
gantOwn, with good prospects IN lie.
| His married JOY. however, was brlet
| He soon took to drink and lost all MS
! former ambition. In time this change
| in the man was explained by the re
lations that developed between his wife
and his once fast friend, William Beat
ty The breaking up of the two fami-
| lies followed, and Beatty and Mrs.
Kitchens went to Wood Co, w Va;
Here she gradually fell into dissipated
ways As her pink cheeks faded and
I her trim figure began to lose Its lines ol
beauty, through a tendency to embon-
point, she felt that her hold on Beatty
affections was weakening. Whether
this was true or not, jealousy seized on
| her and between this soul-consumlng
: malady and strong drink she finally
| killed him and is now trying TO escape
| the penalty of her crime.
William Beatty was born in Nenangc
| county. November the 13, 1853. In MS
early manhood he moved to MeadvIlle,
where he engaged in the oil business
| Later he went to Morgantown. thence
| TO Mt Morris, and from there to Far
