ANNETTE ISLAND INDIANS
\ RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY NEAR
ALASKA.
Were Annexed Last Year TO the Unit
ed States Some of Their Unusual
Customs and Regulations.

I'VE are free. The flag of the
United states has taken us into ITS
folds"
These patriotic and thrilling words
were uttered in broken English on the
llth day of August, 1891. by "a Met
lakahtla Indian, when he carried to
his brothers i'm British Columbia the
information that the colony establish
ed an Annette Island. Off the coast Of
Alaska. was formed and would he
protected by the United States.
For years the natives living at Met
lal>ahtla. British Columbia, had been
in state of excitement and strife. 1t
was known as the associated commu-
nifty, and was under the English flag.
I'm the autumn of 1856 there was
crisis in the affairs of the community.
and deputy was sent to Washington
to beg the United States government
to give them place i'm Alaska. where
they might build for themselves an
other home Accordingly Annette Is
land was set aside and the settlement
started. The island is from eighteen
to twenty miles long. with an average
width of eight miles. and although Tj
per cent of it consists of mountains
and rock, the place is well suited for
a settlement. \ number of the natives
Immediately moved to their new home
and when the messenger returned to
Metlakahtla and delivered the mes
sage of freedom and the protection
of the United States there was uni
versal rejoicing. Reports received by
the Secretary of the Interior give de-
tails of the occurrences. The mes
senger eXtemporized a song of free
dom and sang it to an inspiring native
chant. The people were electrified,
and in their joy the work of pulling
up and packing for Alaska at once
commenced. BY the 18th of August
over 500 had safely crossed the water
There are now about 500 persons in
the community, and the settlement is
steadily growing in resources. of the
Alaskan natives about sixty have
joined the settlement and many more
would have come except for the strict
rules against INVESTIGATION and gamb-
ling.

A GOOD DIVIDEND.
r. D. Hubbard's Creditors Will Get
twenty-five Per Cent.

AWSuty=lW W. ESl NSuts
Assignee acknowledgements to
Judge Severance his final account of
his stewardship of the estate of r. D.
Hubbard, insolvent, and asked for his
discharge as assignee. The report
shows that the creditors will receive
a dividend of 22B per cent. At the
time of the assignment it was thought
that the creditors would receive only
about eleven per cent, but by good
management on the part ofsMr. Pal.
mer and his attorney, W. e. Young,
the creditors will be enabled to re-
ceive about twice what was expected.
The claims were reduced materially
by means of settlements affected.
Every creditor has filed a release ex-
cept one, whose claim is about $1,000,
and who will not participate in the
distribution.
The total disbursements will
amount to about $4,000, which will
be paid to creditors whose claims foot
up about 100000.

THERE BEFORE.
Wright Recognized at the Peni=
tertiary.
Served Five Terms at Saltwater, and
Also in Illinois and
California.

When Sheriff e Bowen reached the
penitentiary at Saltwater with his
prisoners Saturday, the warden greet
ed Wright as an old acquaintance.
1t is the sixth time that Wright has
been taken to Saltwater, and his is a
familiar figure there. He was confin-
ed there three times to serve SEN
fences for horse stealing, and two
times for another offense. While Mr..
Wolfer was warden at the Joliet, ILL.,,
prison Wright served a sentence
there, also. The warden states that
he has always given his name as Geo.
a, Wright, and he believes that this
is his name, and not Ironfoot john
son. as the detectives claim. Wright's
wife resides in Texas.
Wright has also served several
terms in California prisons, and it is
believed that he is familiar with the
inside of the penal institutions of
several other states. He seems to be
a natural born thief, and he was well
satisfied to get off so lightly in the
court here.
The warden did not know Howard,
who seems to have recently come in
to this part of the country from the
west. Howard played the part of de-
tective in lock game at Minneapo-
lis shortly before he was arrested in
this city. A young man from Chicago
was roped in. Howard also took a
trip or two along the Omaha road in
company with Wright and other
crooks. and picked up good many
dollars from unsuspecting persons
who had more money than sense.

IN NUPTlAL BONDS.
Account of the Busch--Smith Wedding
at Hastings.

The wedding of Mr.. Henry w.
Busch, of this city, and Miss Matilda
B. Smith, of Hastings, at the latter
place Tuesday, was a very pretty az
fair. The ceremony occurred at st.
Boniface church at $50 a. M, Rev:
Othmar Erren, the pastor, officiating.
In spite Of the storm, the church was
filled with friends.
At the appointed hour, the organ
ist, Miss Mary Kranz, announced the
entrance of the bridal party with
Lohengren's wedding march. First
came the ushers, Messrs. Geo. z.
Herzog, T. P. Griffin, T. F. Fahey
and N, f. Kranz, followed by the
flower girl, Miss Nettie Elliot, in
light blue liberty silk, carrying a
large bouquet of chrysanthemums.
Next came Miss Mary Smith, sister
of the bride, as maid of honor, and
Miss Mary s. Busch, of this city, Sis
ter of the groom, as bridesmaid. The
bride followed, on the arm of her
father. She was charmingly attired
in a princess gown of ivory colored
satin, en- train, with moussleine de
sole trimmings. She wore :ulle
veil caught in place with white
swansdown and carried huge bou-
quet of brides roses.
The maid of honor wore white
organdle over an interlining of pink
swiveled silk, with pink girdle and
corsage trimmings, and carried pink
carnations. Miss Busch wore white
organdie with lace trimmings over
pale blue silk and carried white
carnations.
The groom, with Messrs. Henry
Wiltgen, Of this city. and Adolph w
Smith, brother of the bride,
met the bride at the altar
steps, where the service was repeated.
After the nuptial mass, the bridal
party with a number of invited guests
repaired to the residence of the
brides father, where reception was
held from IL 100 a. m. to 800 p. No.,
during which time an elaborate
wedding dinner was served. The
bride received many costly testi
monials of esteem,
Among those present at the wed
ding were Mr., and Mrs. A. j. Busch
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Busch, Miss
Mary s. Busch and Mr.. Henry
Wiltgen, of this city. There were
also a number present from Red
Wing, Wabasha, ST. Paul and othel

REMOVED.
Omaha Division Headquarters
to St. James.
An Unexpected Order That Deprives
Mankato Of Many Excellent
Citizens.

Lie OulCldl u0duQ udTUSIS VI Vic OF.
Paul & Sioux City division of the
Omaha road were Sunday transfer
red from this city to st. James. The
order for the removal came two or
three days ago, but was not generally
known until Sun day, when it caus-
ed much unfavorable comment on
the streets. The order takes from
Mankato to st. James Supt Spencer,
Chief Train Dispatcher Ritter, Train
Dispatches Brewer, WEIGH, Card,
Schureman and Hickey, and f. NJ.
Crane, Arthur Palm, G. G. Hensley,
Stenographer Dewey and one other.
They took the afternoon and night
trains Sunday. and began work at
their new post of duty Monday.
The removal of the division head
quarters leaves the entire second
floor of the union depot vacant except
for on operator. At ST. James, Supt.
Spencer will have his office in the
new Armstrong hotel, while the dis
patchers occupy the old Office space
of the Omaha depot.
Mr.. Spencer will not move his
family from this city, nor will the
others who have families do so for the
present, although as soon as they find
desirable residences they will prob :
ably do $50. The loss of these peo-
pie, some of whom haYe resided in
Mankato for years, is sincerely to be
regretted. Railroads are operated a
good deal like armies, and when their
superior officers promulgate their or
ders there is but one thing to do and
that is to render prompt and unques-
ing obedience. All of those connect
ed with the division headquarters
would on doubt greatly prefer to re-
side in Mankato but as they have no
voice in the matter, they must obey
their orders SIS cheerfally as they can
under the circumstances,
The division headquarters were
moved to Mankato twelve years ago,
although the end of the division re-
NAMED at st. James and the train
master continued to reside there.
During all of this time there has
meyer been any question raised but
what the business of the Office could
be as we'll transacted from Mankato
as from st. James, while this city was
naturally preferable as place of resi-
dence. Why it has been found neces-
sary at this time to send the d.
vision headquarters back to ST. James
we are>not informed, but there seems
to be general impression on the part
of our citizens that there is no good
reason for it. Much Indignation has
been expressed on the streets during
the past few days over the order re-
moving so many excellent people
from Mankato. and it is to be hoped
that the order will soon be revoked.
1t would be difficult to find more con-
venient Offices anywhere along the
line than the quarters just vacated in
the union depot. More business emil
mates from Mankato than from any
other point betweenSt. Paul and Sioux
City, and If the affairs of the Office
can be administered as well from here
as from any other point it is no more
than Justice that the Office should be
retained here.

LEO LAMM.
Old and Respected Resident
Passes Away.
The Unusual Record of Forty Three
Years in Business in One
Location.

Leo Lamm passed away at five
o'clock Saturday at his residence
over the boot and shoe suore Of his
sons, on North Front street. A year
ago last April he suffered stroke of
paralysis and had never been as robust
after that as before. Last June he re-
tired. from business. being succeeded
by his sons, Albert and Simon. When
on the street during the fall his
friends were struck by his feeble ap-
pearance, and on election day morn
ing he suffered from another paraly-
tic stroke. Last Sunday he received
final stroke. and after that was I'M
able to articulate and sank rapidly
until the end came. He lay in com.
atose condition for few hours pre-
ceding his death.
The deceased was born in Baden,
Germany. March 30th, 1884, and emil
grated to ST. Charles, Mo-, in 1852.
Two years later he came to Mankato
with small colony from st. Charles,
the other members being Philip
Hodapp. Henry Heidwinkle, Henry
Vahle, Peter Schultz, Frank Borg
meier and Michael Humid. He engag-
ed in the boot and shoe business
and continued it for forty-three
years, occupying the same corner
during all this time, and his
sons are now conducting the business
on the identical spot where he start
ed in nearly half century ago.
Mr.. Lamm was united in marriage
to Miss Teresa Guth, a sister OF
Henry Guth, on Dec. 26th, 1856, and
is survived by her and by eleven OF
their children, as follows: Mrs.
Louis Janda, Misses Teresa, Emma,
Lizzie and Title Lamm, Albert
Simon and Edward Lamm, of this
city, Mrs. Anna Humid, of Paxico,
Ke1sas, Miss Rosa Lamm, who is in
the convent at Milwaukee, but who
is at home snow, and Henry Lamm,
who is in business at Madelia, and
who is now home. Three brothers
also survive him, Stephen and John
Lamm, of this city, land David Lamm,
of San Antonio, Texas.
The deceased was a member Of the
St. Peter and Paul's Catholic church,
and the funeral occurred from there
Tuesday al 900 a. m. He also be
longed to the Benevolent society.
Mr.. Lamm's death will cause
general regret. He was a model citi-
zen, and was highly respected by all
who knew him. He was quiet and
unobtr usive, but a man of sterling in.
tegrity. His long residence in the
city brought him wide acquain.
tance, and by hard work and perseYer-
ing industry he built up good bust
ness. He was more than once press
ed to try for Office, but never consent
ed to enter the political field, at the
same time always taking an INTEL
legent interest in affairs. The be:
reaved family will have the sympathy
of all in their sorrow
