Reds Claim a Victory
Duluth, Mimi, Oct. Sc. c. Hart
ley who returned last night from Cass
Lake, says: Thursday night we
camped near the east shore of Cass
Lake and armed Indians were seen
passing south all day. The Indians
were coming from camps and villages
on Cass Lake, Red Lake, Ball Club,
Turtle Lake, and the Winebishoshi
country. The trails were worn smooth.
Most Of the Indians were young men
and seemed to be hurrying to the
camps Of the Pillagers on the northern
shores Of Leech Lake. They were
we'll armed and equipped. Whether or
not they intended to join with the
Pillagers in the fighting do not know.
The Indians consider the Pillager
band won a victory over the soldiers. "

The old way of calling school chill
dren in from recess was by ringing a
bell from the window. The new way
is by sounding a gong fixed ON the
outside Of the building with weather
board over it for its protection, which
is connected by wire with a clock and
rung by electricity. Clocks are made
nowadays, called program clocks, 10
ring any number Of bells in SO many
different rooms or places all at once,
or separately, at any time.
The battery and the mechanical ap-
pliances required are contained in the
clock case. The electrical attachment
which may be arranged in accordance
with any desired program, is brought
into operation by the clock. When
the minute arrives for the ringing of a
bell contact is made, which connects
the wire OF that bell with the battery,
and permits the passing Of the electric
current, and the bell is rung. Bells
are rung in this manner for the as

Ancient War Weapons aud Idols That
Are Attracting Much Attention.
In the University of Pennsylvania
are curios which are closely allied
with the earlier periods Of the Philip
pine Islands. They consist Of num-
berof specimens of primitive weapons
and are the only examples of the kind
In the country. The collection. meagre
as it is, has already attracted consid-
cradle attention. and the many visitors
attest to the desp interest the people
feel in all that pertains TO the new
territory.
The curios are five in number and
were obtained at the Rastrow (rag
fairl at Madrid, Spain. aud deposited
IN the university museum.
From the saw Of the swordiish sin-
gle and two-edged swords are con
strueted. In the case of the former
the teeth were carefully sharpened on
one side and the larger end cut down
for handle. 1t presents formidable
appearing implement of carnage.
With the other the two edged sides
were preserved. In the hands Of a
muscular native these crude swords
would make most frightful wounds.
A third weapon Of later date is d
short cutlass-shapcd affair of iron.
The Philippine Islanders became ex-
pert as iron workers, aud the ancient
weapon shows how well the natives oI
old patterned their death-deaiing ap-
plianees. The handle Of this iron
sword is ornamented with tufts oi
hair aud fanciful raised designs, in
token, perhaps, of the valuable quail
tiles as hair-raising tool.
A fourth weapon resembles an OK.
aggerated meat eleaver of uninyiting
appearance, with a sharpened edge on
one side aud long point on the other,
in solid iron, with a long handle.
A Malay creese is the fifth weapon
in the collection. These weapons were
made by the Visayas, Malay tribe
who inhabit the islands to the south
of Luzon. The cre,ses are short
swords of the dagger species, with
exquisitely carved handles and grace
full blades.
In the Colonial museum at Madrid
many other odd relics are preserved,
including idols Of the natives. The
principal idol was of the male persua-
sion, the female being lesser deity.
Cast iron cannon and small swivel
guns of the early natives, with their
military uniforms, are also displayed
there. Milwaukee Sentinel.

The PATTERN OF A
WOMAN'S LIFE.
What Two Women Saw in
a Window and the
Thoughts it Led 10.

Two New York women stood in front
Of Broadway window watching a Per-
sian weaver laboriously weaving upon a
frame, the pattern of a beautiful rug.
Slowly, almost imperceptibly, thread by
thread the pattern grew beneath his hand,
until what had seemed a meaningless
crossing of dull threads gradually took
on form and beauty.
Suddenly one of the two women began
TO repeat the lines:
Weaving, weaving threads of faith,
Pattern of a womans heart,
Who can e'er anticipate
The hues of life in every part?
VIII the colors warmly glow
All traced in love and happiness;
Or will they fade in somber woe?
A Woman's future who can guess?
There is infinite pathos in the way that
women ponder over and try 10 trace out
the purpose and meaning of their lives.

OHIO AEPUBLICAN LEAGUE
Holds a Hot Session. With the Fora
ker Wen in the saddle.

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.-THE Ohio Repub-
lican league convention, which was held
in this city, was one of the stormiest in
the history of the league. About 200 dele
gates, representing seventy-two clubs
were in attendance. The factionaI fight
ing which marked the late senatorial con-
test cropped out. There were strenuous
efforts to restore harmony, however, both
the president and president-elect advising
members of the league TO lay aside fac
tional differences. Senator Foraker, in
his telegram to the league, also made a
plea for harmony. The Foraker and Bush
nell element were dominant in the conven-
ton, and while they endeavored to keep
factionaI differences in the background.

Trouble was started early in the pro-
ceedings.- President John J. Sullivan. in
his opening address to the convention, re-
ferred 10 the great service which had been
rendered the party in the last campaign
by Governor Bushnell. Senator Hanna
and Lieutenant Governor Jones. Henry
Drinkle Of Lancaster criticised Mr. sulli-
vans omission OF Senator Forakers name
quite sharply, saying that one would not
infer form Mr.. Sullivans speech that
Ohio had q senior senator.
While there was a contest on some Of
the offers, the fight Of the convention was
on the resolutions. The chairman Of the
committee on resolutions was Charles
Griffin Of Toledo, and he drafted the re-
port presented 70 the convention.
The last three sections Of the report
precipitated fight.
Despite the opposition. however. the
original resolutions were adopted with the
following addition:
I'VE send greetings to President AIcKin-
ley and Senators Hanna and Foraker and
assure them Of our heartiest support"
The sections objected % by the McKIn-
ley and Hanna adheren,s are as follows:
