Dancer in Bio Guns.

Recent accidents disabling some Of
our best battleships offer rather start
ling evidence of the weaknesses that
are inherent in vessels of this type.
For years inventive genius has been
applied to contriving guns of bigger
size and longer range than those used
before, and each increase has added to
the demands laid upon the strength
of guns and turrets and their mobility
in action. Inevitably the line of safe
ty has been passed and the result is
shown in accidents which have caused
loss of life, besides exposing the para
doxical delicacy of massive machin-

Weather siqns.

The color of the sky at particular
times affords wonderfully good guide
to the weather to be expected within
the coming twenty-four hours. Not
only does rosy sunset presage good
weather and ruddy sunset bad
weather, but bright yellow sky in
the evening indicates wind; pale
yellow, rain. If in the morning the
sky is of a neutral gray color, the
indications for good day may be
considered favorable. Generally
speaking, it may be said that any
deep or unusual hue in summer be-
tokens either wind or rain

Queen Victoria's Love Of Flowers.
Queen Victoria was a great flower
lover from the days when toddling
child she made daisy chains on the
lawns Of Kensington palace, and per-

she ever did her jewels. When she
paid her one and only visit to Spain,
Queen Christina asked "Is. there any
thing the queen is especially fond of"
Eyes, flowers" was the answer, and so
flowers in lavish profusion decorated
the streets, the houses, the railway
station, and the palace.

SALOONS AT WALKER is
RESENTED.

Walker, Mimi, Aug. u. ~ Informa-
ton comes from Onigum, the head
quarters of the Leech Lake Indian
agency and Of the Chippewa resorva-
ton of Northern Minnesota tina. an
Indian outbreak is feared. TIE trouble
nearly came to head Saturday, when
a half-dozen white families at the
agency packed their belongings and
got ready to escape to place OF safe
ty if necessary The Indians have
quieted down somewhat since then,
but the trouble is not yet over.
The Indians gathered about the
agency Saturday in numbers, and
there was much demonstration. While
no overt acts were committed the out
look was serious enough to prompt
Chief Clerk Morgan of the agency,
who was In charge in the absence of
Maj. Scott, the agent to warn the en-
ployes to be ready to flee for their
lives. The employees lost no time in
packing all their poss sessions, and Sat
urday night was
Spent in Wakefuness.
A launch was kept ready and the
whites were prepared to Soad it, and
by hugging the opposite shore of the
lake, to escape to Walker.
1t was at this place that the Indian
outbreak occurred five years ago,
when the United States troops were
sent to Walker and had their Sight at
Sugar Point with the Indians in which
several of the regulars were killed.
Timber matters and whisky are
what have mainly irritated the In
dams. They have been disgruntled
over several minor grievances recent
ly wanted a leader ITO rise in open
warfare. The leader has been sup
piled in the person of a former chief
of the Indian police on the reserYa-
ton, but more recently prisoner at
Duluth on charge of selling liquor
to the Indians. He is an influential
man among the Indians and his fore
fathers were kings of the Chippewas.
Gathered about him are a numper Of
the young bloods, who are
DESTROYS Of Trouble,
and several Of the leaders of the form
er outbreak.
Falmouth chief of the Chippewa
Indians, is strongly in favor of peace
and is doing his utmost to prevent
trouble. He is not in great favor
with the Indians, however, and little
heed is paid to him by the other party.
Falmouth has sent to Bear island,
the home of the blanket Indians, for
several Of his friends, among whom
is "Old Bug" the leader of the former
outbreak, and has induced them to
work for peace.
Chief Clerk Morgan says that the
Indians resent the attitude the agent,
Maj. Scott, has taken against the
Walker saloonmen, several of whom
he has brought to trial in the United
States courts. Maj. Scott and the
agency officials have done their ut
most to exterminate the selling OF
liquor to the Sred men and have thus
made enemies of many of the Indians

BURY THE HATCHET.

The youthful editor OF the
Daily Pioneer is now willing to
letthe amusing and childish
battle of words which has been
going on between this paper and
the Bemidji ISentinel come to an
end. Remarks of his were attri-
buted..i in yesterdays Sentinel to
an old and experienced editor Of
well-known and undoubted abil-
ity. To a boy who has been a
member Of the,Iprofession less
than two years this is decidedly
complimentary, to say the least.
1t wipes out any slurs which may
have been made IN the past. BY
their own statements the editor
of the Sentinel and his attorney
assistant admit that the Daily
Pioneer man has scored the most
points, but they dislike to admit
that he has done this without
assistance. As the Daily Pioneer
did not find it necessary to
descend to mud singing the VIC
tory is all the more complete.
The Sentinel editor attempted,
with the assistance of an ass, to
Crawford the waters of ridicule
into which his comical attempt to
injure the Daily Pioneer had
thrown him; but Isthe1 poor ass
sank below the waters, being OF
insufficient strength to carry the
double burden to shore, and the
Sentinel man is left laundering
ludicruously about on the sur
face.
Thus are we willingl to bury
the hatchet. We would not strike
