Last Sunday morning Phillip LIE
T, Clair passed away at his home in the
north part of this city, at the age of
II years For long time Mr.. LIE
Claire has been afflicted with rheuma-
! tism, which at times confined him to
his home for weeks. The immediate
cause of his death was pneumonia.
| Last week he contracted cold, and
as he was man who never had much
| to say about being sick, he paid nc
heed, thinking little of it until the
disease was fastened upon him. and
| it was too late Mr.. LIE Claire was
one of Gems Sulley's and Sibley e
scouts during the Indian troubles at the
/ time of the civil war. He has made
many a trip alone on horseback be-

man, trusty and reliable; he knew nc
fear, but would go when death stared
him in the face. He did heroic ser.
vice for the people of this state and
the great northwest during perilous
times. The body was taken to Men.
dota Tuesday morning, to be laid al
rest beside his son Phillip, who died
several years ago.

Another Indian uprising at Leech
Lake is rumored, and the rumor has it
that it will occur on next Sunday.
The cause of the alleged trouble is said
to grow out of the timber cutting by
the logging companies. Some 10, OOO,-
900 or 20, 900, 900 feet of pine logs were
cut on the reservation last winter I'M
der the dead and down timber act, and
the loggers are said to have over
stepped their rights and cut much they
had no right to. Added to this it is
said that the government estimaters
have not made their estimates so that
they benefit the Indian in the least.
Poor Lo knows more about those
things than he used to and he also
knows that it pays to kick. The
rumored uprising it is said will occur
unless the difficulty is fixed up bySun
day. Surely the government authori-
ties ought to see that the Indians are
fairly dealt with

The rain of Tuesday prevented a
meeting of the committee called for
that evening but the meeting will be
! held on Friday evening at 7 :30, and
at that time subcommittee will be
appointed.
A call has been issued to the ladies
/ to meet with the general committee at
! that time and we learn that there will
| be an enthusiastic response. This,
which will be the first meeting Of the
sort ever held in jamestown or Madi-
son Lake, is designed to be an historic
occasion in more senses than one.
There has never been any effort made
so far as we know to collect and re-
cord facts of jamestown history. This
occasion may mark the beginning OF
( the record, which shall extend back to
the days when poor whisky was Man
! kato's chief article of trade and when
there was neither hoof nor horn in the
entire township but plenty of wild
! game and the Indian roamed free.
The men who packed bacon and flour
from st. Peter to Mankato will be al
the picnic. We hope they will tell us
about those days, so that record car
! be made in their own words.
Invitations will be sent to the orr
ginal settlers who are yet alive so fan
as their addresses may be obtained and
the children and children s children
and perhaps those even more recently
descended from the pioneers will be
asked to come.
There will be balloons, boating, rae
ing and dancing and music and
speeches and history will not only be
recounted, but recorded, and ever
made on that day.

summer Rest Hour.

The rest hour is much more neces-
sary to women in summer than in
winter, because heat is more exhaust
ing than cold. There are very few pco-
pie who are not better for going away
by themselves, If only fifteen minutes
or half an hour, during the day. Lie
down on the bed or lounge, allow the
muscles to relax, and try to Danish all
perplexing thoughts. Make certain
that you will never be interrupted Or
subject to call during these few mo-
ments, and the habit of sleep will soon
come to you A rest of even ten min
utes, free from interruption, will do
more toward soothing the nerves than
four times the same length of time
spent lying down with noisy children
near or thoughtless persons discussing
the latest fashion. The important mat
ter is to secure for the tired worker
absolute peace at the rest hour. Even
without sleep it is better than a rest
hour amid noisy surroundings in sleep
which is almost certain to be a trou-
bled one. AS a matter of economy, the
rest hour should be insisted upon, be-
cause work done after it is certain to
be so much better that it much more
than makes up for the time taken
from work. Work accomplished with
the nerves exhausted never amounts
to as much as work done when the
energies are fresh.-New York Tribune.

Such simple ingredients as salt and
molasses would not seem to have any
special curative powers yet It is as.
serted that their action Is marvellous
when applied to a sprain.
The mother of a romping boy has
tested the merits of this application,
and speaks most enthusiastically for
the benefit Of those who may have
to deal with a troublesome sprain
when there is no opportunity to call in
a physician:
1T was during an early trip to the
seashore when my little boy fell and
sprained his knee. A physician was
consulted and liniments applied, to no
purpose, and l was about to return
home to consult the family physician,
when a dear old Quaker lady advised
me to make q plaster of salt and mol
asses and apply 1t hot at bedtime,
wrapping it well with bandages to
keep in the heat tried the remedy,
and the next day the pain was much
lessened, and after third application
he was entirely healed and walked as
well as ever, although for several
days before using this remedy he had
not been able to straighten his leg nor
put his foot on the ground"
The PREPARATION is very simple. Make
the mOlasses hot and stir in salt until
it is Of such a consistency that it can
be held in place over the sprain by
means of a muslin bandage. Apply
while the pOultice is as hot as can be
borne, and wrap well to keep in the
heat.-Philadelphia Record.

"'fit NfN WAAn OF dNeH HoNnas
a hotel keeper out west is said To pos
sess the most curious articles of furni-
turc IA the world. For many years he
collected match boxes and as soon as he
had obtained several thousand he began
to construct furniture out Of them.
First he made a large writing desk.
then a cigar stand, then a sideboard.
then a fire screen and finally a score or
so of small decorative pieces for the
walls and mantelpiece. What is most
surprising about his work is that the
boxes, though empty and ordinarily of
the most ilimsy structure, have been ar
ranged by him in such a manner that
they have a wonderful appearance Of
solidity and strength, and indeed those
who have examined the furniture say
that it is quite as strong as though it
had been made of ordinary wood Fur
thermore, the boxes have been so ingen-
iously joined together that they seem to
form one whole piece, and not until af-
ter a minute examination can any trace
be found of their original size and shape
These unique pieces Of furniture arc
naturally attracting much attention, and
If the hotel keeper cared to dispose OF
them he could obtain a much higher
price than is paid for ordinary furni-
ture.--Ne7V York Herald.
