OF the people by the character of their
citizen soldiery. On asbeautiful spring
day in 1861 I stood: on a dry goods box
in the center Of the parade ground at
Fort Smelling and preached Of love OF

a service of thanksgiving. And the
general said to me, 7 should wrong

A GOOD WORK.

Good Reading Matter Furnished Lumber
-: men by the w. C. T. u.
For. a humber of years. the National
Women's Christian Temperance Union
has been carrying on work that has
received as was very fitting. the sup
port Of the lum bermen. In Minnesota
the, work has for d number of years
been in charge of Mrs. Efie A. >Burgan
of Pcinceton. During the past four
winters she has been prevented sby@Ill
health from making personal visits to
the camps, but she has in no other way
allowed her work to suffer. During
the past winter ninety~three camps in
the Minnesota woods were kept sup
piled with good reading matter. Lum-
bermen and others have responded to
her requests for aid. Contributions
both in money and reading matter
have been freely given. That her
labors have been appreciated is indi-
Gated by the large number of testi-
monials received from loggers and
camp foremen. One incident illus
trates the more than passive interest
that has been the result of this work.
A Sunday school class of fourteen
young men went into as many different
camps for the winter. Their teacher
finding It a hard task to secure reading
matter for them, applied to Mrs. Bur-
gan. She wrote to number of unions
and fourteen barrels of good literature
was soon on it's way to those camps.
This winter the work is to be prose-
cuted with new vigor. Mrs. Burgan
has so far regained her health and
strength as to again engage in active
labor and has planned to visit many of
the camps. She will thus be able to
direct the work more intelligently.
In this she should be aided by every
one who is Interested in maintaining a
high plane of intelligence and morality
among the loggers. Contributions OF
magazines and other choice reading
will be gratefully received, and by her
and others, under her direction, will
be judiciously distributed where they
will do the most good. Lumbermen
throughout the State can further aid
in the good work by forwarding to her
the names and addresses of camp fore.
men and thus aid in widening the cir
Gle until many camps in the State shall
show the influence of the efforts in be.

A Sudden Death.

Mrs. Carl Pischke, young German
woman of about l6syears, died sud-
denly yesterday morning and the
neighbors thought under suspicious cir
cumstances, too. Therefore Coroner
Tarbox2 was called upon to make an in
vestigation. He visited the scene and
on an examination of the body was con-
vinced that the unfortunate woman
died of blood poisoning. Mrs. Pischke
gave birth to child Nov. p with no
physician in attendance The mid
wife who. handled the case thought
everything was all right but the re-
suit proved otherwise. Under the cir
cumstances the coroner decided no IN
quest was necessary. +. &

ally, Comes to Head in
Judge Dlckey's Court.
Both Wilkes and McLaren Receive
Fines at the Judges Hands
and Both Appealed.

The Milaca creamery case has been
well aired in the Justice court during
the past week, three arrests have been
made, The first warrant was sworn
out by members of the creamery as
ISOLATION charging A. Townsend with
breaking into the building with in
tent to$commit malicious mischief. y
This case is hanging fire, owing to the
sudden illness Of Judge Norcross, be-
fore whom the case is to be tried. ..
Two other warrants were issued on
complaint of Mr.. Townsend charging
A..ffC. Wilkes and William McLaren
with pointing firearms at a human
being. ~ The cases came on first Mon
day Of last week, before Judge Dickey
and were continued to last Friday.
After hearing the evidence another
continnancefWas asked for and granted,
to alloWfthe defendants to secure fur.
ther evidence.
The case came on yesterday for
final hearing and no new testimony
was adduced. Wilkes and McLaren
attempted to arrest Townsend without
a warrant and the latter intimated
that hewould test the tensile strength
OF the skull of the man who attempted
to lay a. hand on him hence the dis
play OF artillery. Judge 7Dickey found
both defendants guilty and fined them
which with the costs will probably
mount2to something like $25 each.
The case has been appealed to the
distnctfcourt and will furnish added

that there were no chances of mating
in Princeton and decided to start on
the, ''jerky'' for Oklahoma, where men
were numerous and women scarce.
