CHAPTER VII.-(Continued.)
Before her mother could say one word
n opposition, the little person had slid
behind Armathwaite with the most conf.
cal uplook of mischief into his face, and
left him to bear the brunt of the eldei
lndy's cool reception all by himself. She
dropped her work in her lap, examined
him from head to foot slowly and with q
black scowl as IL he had been q notorious
rascal, and then said abruptly. In q deeS
tone:
'Sit down. You come from Londonr

"A bad place. London"
This was little too much.

fore she went on. "Londoners are fond

simply.
And each glared straightforwardly at
the 6tner as Ii they thought they had
fought this round very satisfactorily. Be
fore they could begin again Millie came
downstairs and brought a message OF
peace.
Papa will be very pleased to see you
at once, If you won't mind coming up
stairs to his room," she said.
And, with a bow to Mrs. Peele, Arms
thwaite followed the girl out of the room.
Millie stopped when she had mounted
stairs enough for her face to be on level
with her visitors, and turning round, she
said in q low voice:
"You mustn't think anything Of mann
mas odd manner Of receiving You. She's
always like that to strangers, but she's

GATHERING AT DIES MONIES.

Iowa Silver Men Expect to Unite on One
Set of Candidates.
Dies MONIES, Ia, June 22.-The Dem
ocrats, Silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, who are to hold their state conven-
lions in this city this week, have COM
menced to assemble. The candidates,
with their hackers, are nearly all ON the
ground. There is much speculation as
to how the conventions will be merged
into one policy and one set of candi-
dates There are slight differences,
which may become acute. The leading
candidates for governor just now are
Fred White of Webster, Ex-Governor
Boies Of Waterloo and J. r. Burgess Of
Ottumwa. For judge Of the supreme
court there is some opposition to Chief
Justice Kinney, who has almost been
conceded the nomination. The dis
satisfaction grows out of the fact that
while he voted for Bryan he has not re-
canted on gold. The triple convention
will be one Of the largest gatherings
ever held in the state. The platform
will be for silver.

MILWAUKEE, June 23.-For the first
time in the history Of America the Sioux
and Chippewa Indians, who for genera.
tions have been deadly enemies, are to
cast aside oil hatred and clasp the hand
of peace. The reunion Of the two hos
tile tribes will take place ct White
Birch, Wis, beginning July !, and will
be one Of the most novel Indian cere-
monies that has been held in recent
years. Great preparations for the peace
gathering are now being made by the
Indians throughout the Northwest.
The ceremonies will last at l.--j two
weeks. rlS i.... ,. ."
The programme will be exceedingly
interesting, and will be carried out
strictly in accordance with the tradi-
tons of the tribes. The first and most
important function of the ceremony will
be the burial Of the traditional toma-
hawk. The burial will be the first Of
it's kind held in the Northwest for many
years. After earth has Leen thrown
over the tomahawk the peace dance will
begin. The dance will last three days
and three nights without abatement,
and in this demonstration all will par
ticipate. Even the sick and disabled
warriors are compelled to take part, and
those who are too weak to do SO will be
carried to the scene of the celebration.
The Chippewa tribe has charge Of pre-
pairing for the dance and is sparing no
pains to make it the greatest ever held
in the state. An old fashioned barbecue
will follow the peace dance. The re-

Good Old Fashioned Idea.

Some people profess to think that it
is impossible to 60 back to the old pol
icy under which our shipping was pro-
tected 100 years ago. They talk about
changed conditions and other things, as
if that had anything to do with the
case. Protection was given to our land
industries in just the same way 100
years ago as it is now. Nobody thinks
that it is too old fashioned to be prac-
ticable now. It is the very way by
which President Mckinley and the Re-
publican party will restore prosperity to
the country: And in the same manner,
as was the case before, our ships in the
over sea trade will be protected for our
prosperity. 5

Of Watertown about Up. m. Without
the slightest warning the walls Of the
Mullholland building, a large and appar-

collapsed, burying the occupants under

and mangGng others SO seriously that

The building was large 2-story brick

was used for living apartments. and the
lower part occupied as saloon. At the
time of the accident the saloon was well
filled, there being over 20 men there,
many Of them farmers and others from

a fire alarm was instantly turned in and
the fire department was soon at work
removing the debris and rescuing the
victims. Those nearest the front were
easily reached, it taking but a short
time to uncover ii, some of whom were
not seriously injured. The body OF
Philip Patterson was found with the
head fearfully crushed and life extinct.
D. w. Bradley's body was not SO badly
mangled. The injured were taken care
of by citizens as fast as rescued.
