The Famous Old winnebago Chief Passes


Black Hawk III, the old Winnebago
warrior and nephew of the great chief,
Black Hawk, the story of whose life is
interviewer with the history of this
locality, has followed his famous an

years. Black Hawk had been well
known in the western part of Wiscon-

a friend of the whites, and on several
occasions prevented the Winnebagoes
from taking the warpath against the
palefaces. a few seasons ago, attend
ed by a band of braves, he visited
Black Hawk Watch Tower and spent
some weeks there, during which time
he was n subject of much interest on

No need now to go abroad for de-
pendable dinner ware. Time was
when every crockery man would say:
This set is English; it will not
craze; and when he expected Off he
didn't say it) that all american dinner
ware would craze, in time.
ONow, there aren't least two potter
les in America making ware equal to
any made in England.
We have the dinner sets to prove it.
American potteries have always ex-
celled III daintiness of shapes and
decorations, and now that the ware
itself is good as it is, dinner SEES
made in America" are best of all.
The prices amt the least argument
in our favor Full hundred piece sets
can be sold at about one-fourth less
than mus. be charged for English
ware: and when it comes to the cheap
everyday dishes, something you are
almost willing to see break off dishes
must break, because thew are so
cheap. the American ware is a money
saver.

lowed their salaries in full. the first
money they have received since they
entered the service of the municipal

This action was taken in conse-

to treat in spirit of fairness with the

whose desires he has in measure
recognized in the assignment to the
police department of several of the
men who served under Mayor Medill
the past two years.
1t is believed now there will be more

its demands; it has only asked to be
given the recognition it is entitled to
as the majority.

Lieutenants Foster and Stoddard left the

company sailed from Japan for home, Lieut..
Stoddard accompanying them. On the 18th
Lieut.. Foster sailed through the Inland sea to
Kobe, Japan, and from thence proceeded to
Shanghai, where he remained for two days.
He says Shanghai is really divided into three
distinct municipalities. Prior to this summer
there were four-Chinese, French, English and
American Shanghai-but now the English and
American municipalities have combined, leav-
ing three divisions. American Shanghai is
much like an American city and the same may
be said of the other sections where civilization
holds sway. But in Chinese Shanghai the ig-
norance and filth is everywhere apparent and
exceedingly offensive to the eye and nose.
