Harmony Restored Between
Minnesota and War De-
partment.

Minneapolis, Oct 1O.-Adjutant Cen
eraI Nuremberg, of the state militia,
wires to Gov. Clough from Deer River
on the FosstOn line:
Have scouts out to get reliable in
formation. The people are more fright
ened all along the line. More troops
should be stationed west of here. Be
midi is very much excited.
The federal and state authorities are
now working in harmony toward the
quelling of the Indian revolt. General
Bacon offered to come down from
Walker this evening to confer with
Gov. CIough but the latter advised con-
ference by wire. He received the fol-
lowing message from Gen. Bacon:
Situation bad, conference yesterday
resulted nothing. None of the Indian
chiefs were there. Lumbermen are all
coming into Walker. Troops needed at
Cass Lake"
Nevertheless the governor believes
that the situation is well in hand ana
that the decalcitrants are practically
surrounded by the soldiers.
The construction crews on the north
west extension of the Brainerd s.
Northern to Bemedjo and nOrthward to
CaSS Lake have Joined the refugees at
Walker and it may be necessary to
send them back to work under guard as
these two extensions in the event or
prOlongation of the trouble would be of
great strategic value. Troops may yet
be placed at three more points in add
ton to the present forces at FOSStOn
line points; these are where the lines
cross the Mississippi, the Indian port
age train three miles west of Bena and
Ball Club lake With these avenues OF
escape cut off it would be practically
impossible for the hOstiles to escape

SURGEONS MAY RESIGN.
Twentieth Kansas Likely to Be
Without Medical Men Be-
cause Pay Is Reduced.

Camp Merriam, San Francisco, Oct.
10-There is a possibility that the Tween
tieth Kansas will soon find itself labor
ing under the disadvantage of having
no surgeons.
Major Surgeon Rafter is at present
division surgeon. and Captain and As
ssitant Surgeon Smith is detailed at the
general hospital, thus leaving Captain
and Assistant Surgeon Huffman the
only surgeon with the command And
now comes word that he is contemplat-
ing forwarding his resignation as is
also Captain Smith and almost every
other assistant surgeon on the coast.
Each regiment is entitled to a major
surgeon and two assistants, to rank as
captains, and to be remunerated ac-
cord1ngly. When Governor Leedy ap-
pointed DrS. Huffman and Smith as as
Sistant surgeons he commissioned them
as captains, and they have both drawn
pay as such, $166.66 per month. But
they were yesterday confronted with an
order from the comptroller of the cur
rency that orders them to hereafter
draw pay as first lieutenants, $133. SO
per month, and to refund what they
had drawn over that from July %, when
the order is said to have gone into
effect. This order applies to all assist
ant surgeons, with the exception of
those of the Iowa regiment. who came
as first Heutenants.
Colonel Middleton said, when ques-
toned concerning the recent order: mo
department of the army is doing half
the work that falls to the lot of the
assistant surgeons. They are on duty
night and day, assume all sorts of risks,
and must be men of skill and ability.
They have done the major portion of
the fighting in this war, here on the
coast, at least, ana it is the grossest in
justice to attempt to enforce upon them
such material reduction. Does the gov
eminent think it can employ competent
men to give up everything and make
all the necessary Sacrifices to work for
such a sum, when any good physician
can earn far in excess of that at home?
I think that if the matter will be
brought before congress in December
that it will be speedily remedied. It GER
tainly should be-
Major General Merriam, who was
present, upheld Colonel Middleton in
his remarks, adding: They have work
ed hard enough here, and how much
worse will it be them when their
regiments get to Manila? If they will
just write to their respective congress-
men I have no doubt but that this mat
ter will be adjusted as it deserves"
Colonel Funston remarked: Our as
sistant surgeons have Iabored inces-
sanity, and no one in the regiment has
earned his salary than have they. 1
suppose that surgeons can be hired for
$133 80. but I doubt if competent and
efficient men can be employed at that
figure for if they are at all competent
they easily do so much better at home

PARK PET CONDEMNED.
Chicago Lion Has the Ricketts, and
Must Be Killed.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-One of Lincoln
parks lions has been sentenced to die,
and just because he has the ricketts, and
is hardly able to stand alone. The
park commissioners found the verdict
yesterday at the board meeting. Now
"Cy'' DeVry, the keeper, and James NJ.
Wright, veterinary surgeon, are casting
about for the easiest way to execute
the sentence, and are divided between
the rifle process and chlOrOfOrm. The
lion is 2 years Old was born in Lincoln
park and has been sick for six months
past.
Lincoln Park commissioners yielded to
the request of North Town Collector
Perkins yesterday far enough to decide
to send to the assessor detailed esti-
mate of the purposes for which they
want a share of the tax levy of 1898.
At the same time the commissioners as
sert that there is nothing in the law
that compels them to do this, and that
they are simply yielding to the asses
sors re- uest out of courtesy and a de-
sire to have no unnecessary friction
over the matter of appropriations
THE law on this point is clear" said
President Woodwork. I'VE are only
required to state the total amount we
need. If Mr.. Perkins chooses to give
out the details of the estimate when he
receives it, he can of course do so, but
we want his first information to come
from US, not from the newspapers"

NOT QUITE RIGHT.
Ethel Henry Apparently Demented
on the Subject of Poisons.

The reason for Ethel Henry taking the
strychnine that caused her death is still
unknown. Two reasons are advanced by
her friends One is that she was expert
menting with the drug and took an over
dose and the other is that she Contemplate
ed suicide from foolish idea that she
would be the last of a trio.
Miss Henry was a leader in the physi-
constantly experimenting with drugs and
explaining the action of the drugs upon
animals to her class
She advanced the theory that she wa g
proof against poison and that she had
taken strychnine in large and small guam
she said to her mother:
=! have taken half a teaspoonfuI of car
Her mother was greatly frightened. but
thought the girl was joking.
There is no danger. 1t will not hurt
me at ALL was ali Miss Henry had to
say about it. and went on about her work
she had taken the acid but she stoutIy
Miss Henry studied the action of poisons
upon animals and she held the theory that
every poison had its antidote and that she
antidote without any fatal results.
Several tunes she exhibited empty bot
ties marked 'strychnine" and claimed that
she had taken the contents. She spent
a great part Of her time dissecting snakes
and small animals.
One of the theories advanced by her
friends is that she took strychnine to note
Shortly after the suicide of Matt Witt
she said;

Her mother asked her who it would be
and she said it would be herself
Nobody took any notice of the state
ment, but since her death it has been
remembered that year ago she said
something about committing suicide. It
is noteworthy that suicides ALWAYS an
nounce their intentions previous to the act
ana that nobody pays any attention to
it" 1t is the same kind of talk the public
hears after every suicide.
Miss Henry had no love affairs to any,
body's knowledge. After her death two
bottles were found. Both were emptv
and it is supposed by those who advance
the theory of experimenting that she took
the poison from one bottle and the anti

Misaionaries Go AWAY.

The closing sessions of the missionary
convention at the First NJ. E church
were held yesterday. In the morning
Bishop Ninde delivered a sermon to
large congregation and in the evening
missionary addresses were delivered by
Miss NJ B. Griffith of Japan, and by
Mrs G. w Isham of Beatrice, Neb.
Miss Griffith has spent nine years in
missionary work among the Japanese,
and she told of the work accomplished
by the Bible women there. Mrs. Isham
spent several years as a missionary to
India and she gave an extremely inter
esting account of the condition of the
people of that land. Nearly all of the
delegates left today for their homes
in the different states from Texas to
