Death of Miss Jennie Bond.

On saturday morning, the Sth inst
Mr.. Phil Allen, of this city, received
a telegram from Boscobel announc-
ing the death of Miss Jennie, daugh-
ter of Rev. w. J. G. Bond. The sad
news was unexpected for while she
had been ailing for some two weeks,
manifested until within less than
two days before death At that time
the general prostration that then ap-
peared to be all the trouble was sue
ceeded by paralysis, which in the
space of twenty-seven hours did its
work and ended the life.
Jennie will be remembered by
many of this city as the eldest
daughter of Mr.. Bond; bright, am
bilious young girl of l3 years, but
who next June would have reached
her 20th year. A year ago she grad
uated from the High school at Bos-
cobel and was this year gaining ex-
perience as a teacher preparatory
to entering the Normal at Milwau-
kee. The loss is heavy one to the
parents, but the true christian char
acter that she maintained, is of great
consolation to them in their distress.
The funeral took place on Monday
the llth, and was conducted by Rev.
T. Kent. of this city, assisted by Rev.
Carter, of Beloit. The beautiful
floral tributes, and the large con-
course of people in attendance
showed the high esteem in which
the deceased and her family are held
in Boscobel. Mr.. Bond was one of
our pastors for five years, and he
with his family have many warm
friends who sympathize with them
in this bereavement.

The Indian Trouble.

IT is significant that after so many
vain attempts 20 gain something by
going on the warpath and finding
themselves defeated and punished, the
red men should still occasionally take
up arms against SO strong a Govern
ment. There are rash bad men among
the Indians, as there are among the
whites, but they can act only as indi-
viduals When a considerable number
Join in a movement against the whites,
we may be sure there is some abuse
back of it, and an abuse that arouses
the strongest animosity. Only when
there is a sense of injustice are num-
ber of men, white or red willing to risk
death in war rather than submit
Perhaps no single grievance is wholly
responsible for the present outbreak.
but only its active, immediate cause.
Back of il are memories of deceit and
betrayal. The red man seems TO be
considered fair game by the politicians
who are appointed to look after the
welfare of these wards of the nation.
Those who have little or no sympathy
with the complaints about the driving
VI liAG MS W i14hOAO SiAN iAAS-
mote reservations, must still admit that
it is quite as wrong to take advantage
of his helplessness in order to rob an
Indian as to rob white man. BeneVo-
lent schemes have been devised under
which the Indians are TO be protected,
but in practical operation they often
fail at some point Even in the case of
red men who are not of the widest,
such as those in Wisconsin, the agents
of the Government are sometimes in the
service of lumber kings who get pos
session of the pine of the Indians under
terms that are not fair. The methods
of robbing them are varied, but effec-
tive, the Indian being too ignorant of
his rights to protest until 1t is too late.
These things leave an impression on
the minds of the Indians. and when
more than common abuse leads par
ticular few into rebellion against the
Government, the temptation to others
to join in a general war is strong. or
course at the present stage of the
trouble in Minnesota, no account can be
taken of remote or even exciting
causes. The Indians have killed our
soldiers and threaten the lives of white
settlers. The only thing TO be done is
to whip them into peace. though II be-
comes necessary to destroy them all to
effect it. When the leaders are appre-
hended and punished, it will be impor-
/ tant TO inquire into Indian administra-
ton that makes a desperate revolt pos

Something Nice for Boynton.

II would be difficult to conceive or
ANYTHING in the gift of the Administra-
ton too good for General Boynton. Ac-
cepted at par his narrative of the gid
dy pleasures and ~;lded palaces OF the
camp at Chickamauga should permit
the Alger Relief Commission to honor
ably acquit everybody else and go home
in time to take the stump before cleo
| ton.
We are much indebted to the able and
eloquent general for the convincing
manner in which he has defended the
reputation of place which the indus
| trious efforts of his friends in the War
! Department have constituted national
| cemetery as well as a park. He does
not deny that the mortality among the
| troops was awful, but, in effect, he ex-
plains that the Government was careful
| to enlist only men who already had the
symptoms of typhoid fever. That this
| disease should have been contracted on
the ground by any one is naturally too
| insane an idea to be tolerated. With
their tents pitched in eligible locations
| along Chickamauga River, pleasantly
known to the cheerful humor of the
aborigines as the River of Death"
more salubrious conditions for sum
mer outing could not be found from
Alpha to Omaha.
Capt Evan Howell who, being famil
lar with the neighborhood from boy
hood, has no opinion worth considering
| in opposition to the wisdom of Boynton,
| asserts that the water of that river JUS
tifies its Indian name; but the general
says it is wholesome, and that, if SOL
| dfers died from drinking water at all,
it was water they brought with them
| from home or from State camps. He
| has quenched his thirst with it hun
| dreds of times, and never found it to
| disagree with his internal-and violent
| iy political-economy. We are not at
all inclined to cast doubt upon this
| statement We must assume, however,
| that man of his well-known prudence
| and provision would not think of drink
| ing River of Death. or any other water,
without qualifying it with the simple
| but effective germicide with which old
campaigners are popularly supposed to
| go armed when in the field.
The moral limitations of the canteen
system may have rendered it harder for
enlisted men to be always provided
with the necessary alternative. Indeed,
we suspect that, if General Boynton
| had ever so far forgotten himself as to
| take any OF that Chicxamauga River
into his system, straight" he would
very quickly have been under the scien-
tific care of Horse Doctor Huidekoper.

scratches, pink eye or the blind stag
gers.
| This, or some, explanation is neces-
sary to relieve the modest but am
bilious military aspirant for almost
anything, from unfriendly criticism.
Undoubtedly he has his reasons for be-
| lieving that water regarded as poison
ever since the glacial period is not only
potable, but even curative, and we can
conceive of Ohio grounds for consider
| ing a Cincinnati horse and mule doctor
who was the first volunteer surgeon
| appointed, out of an original list of ap
| plicants numbering four hundred-to be

torship of an army. We fully acuuit
