terday. Indians seem to have best posi-
lion. Not moving. Major Wilkinson. five

statements about the killed. Reinforce
ments will doubtless reach the command
This evening. Reliable information indi-
Gates Indians quiet in vicinity of Engn-
GERS dams 10 northwest. No report yet from
General Bacon. Apprehend no further re-
inforcements unless to send to vicinity OF
Leech lake dam to cut off escape of In

utilize one battalion Minnesota volunteers
in case of need. Report just received of
arrival of Colonel Horbach's command at

The request to use a battalion of the
Minnesota volunteers was promptly grant
ed. and the department commander can
have his pick from either the Twelfth or
Fourteenth state regiments One is at New
Ulm and the other at st. Paul awaiting
their muster out. General Corbin feels
that there will not be any necessity to use
the men of these regiments, however, as
the regulars will be sufficient for all pur-
poses.
During the evening Secretary Bliss re-
ceived the following telegram from In
spector Tinker. which indicates that re-
Endorsements have reached Walker, which
is thirty miles or less from the scene of
the fighting:
Walker, Mimi, Oct. 6. via Brainerd.

4 woman's club in one of the smaller
New England cities brings itself quickly
and practically in touch with the public
schools by Offering a prize TO the pupils of
the high school for the best essay upon a
given subject. For the first prize compe-
tition for the past year the topic was the
colonial history of this particular state.
and the interest taken IN the contest proved
its popularity.
The same club also has on one afternoon

the teachers of the schools are invited, a
special social entertainment being provided
for them. The idea is to establish friendli-
ness between the schools. both among the
pupils and teachers.
Mrs Lizzie Ca1ver, president of the Wom-

citizens committee of Washington a most
interesting report of what the Loyal Legion
women have done for the District of Co

sistance since their return TO Washington.
The legion established home called the
Soldiers Rest where twenty-elght men who
had no home or relatives have been care
fully cared for The house Is comfortably
and attractively fitted up in every particu-
lar. and was donated by B. F. Warner,
chairman of the Washington Red Cross.
AS soon as the men are able to go to work
situations will be procured for them the
women nave alEeauE placed several NOiuil-
teers in good paying positions since their
return. the business men of Washington
having come forward III substantial way
with offers to take on men anxious to work
who are in any way qualified. The general
public has also been generous in its con-
tributions to the home established by the
women of the Loyal Legion.
Considering the fact that the butler who
has a proper regard for his mistress good
name as hostess refuses point blank to
furnish her guests with spoons for any,
that spoons are still fashionable as we'd
ding presents. But they are, and the sill
yeTsmiths show cases of five and six draw
erS filed with spoons To be sure the
spoons are not exactly like the oldtime i'm
plement of that name. Some of them bear
a striking resemblance to the oyster fork
and others look like shovels. bou-bon tongs
and sugar-shakers. The latter are berry
spoons and they come in pierced gold and
silver. with great bowls almost rs big as
the spoon end of 4 salad ladle. Then there
are spoons for boIillon that look like sea
shells and spoons for jelly that have fat
round bowls and look like the little money
scoops used by the paying tellers OF the
treasury The handles of all of these are
very elaborate and heavy or of chasteiy
simple design There seems to be no mid

in silver spoon handles shows cupid heads

wings forming the stem of the spoon. &
