The memory of the heroes who lie
sleeping on the battlefield of Stillman
valley. the only battlefield in the state
of Illinois, is kept green by the flying
Of the American flag the entire year.
Whenever the flags become faded or
frayed or the pole broken a new flag
is substituted. So far as known this
is the only place where the American
flag is kept floating over the head
stones of the soldier dead in the Uni
ted States. Sixty-five years ago the
early pioneers met Black Hawk and
his warriors at Stillman Run, and
nine fell on the field, where their bod
les were consigned. The little G. y.
r. post of StilIman Run. consisting of
10 members, perpetuate the memory
of their dead comrades in the civil,
Mexican and early Indian wars by the
use of the American flag. The little
post has also secured monument
through an appropriation from the
general assembly, which now marks
the place of their soldier dead. This
little but gallant post had purchased
the plot of land, fixed up the graves
and made a handsome cemetery
ground of the only battlefield in the
state long before the money for the
monument was appropriated.

DOAN HAS DONE GOOD
WORK ON THAT ROAD
Wants Sumpter People 10 Inspect
The Highway 10 the Burnt
River Country.

j. n. DOane, who has had charge
of the work on the Burnt ri yer road,
came in last night with his force OF
men, having completed seven miles
Of the new highway. The portion
completed extends from Stoddard' 4
logging camp, hye and half miles
from Supmter, to the eleven mile
post, which Is three miles from King q

completed. The three miles, however,
Mr.. Doane states can be driven over,

The money expended by Mr.. Doane

engaged for labor, powder aud the

CANADA MAY KICK
OUT OF THE TRACES.

The relations between Canada and
Great Britain appear to be somewhat
strained as q result Of the Alaskan
boundary settlement, and Canada is
exhi hibiting symptoms of kicking
over the traces. According to press
dispatches, the Halifax Chronicle
rather boldly declares:
"Tbis Alaska episode has made
1t clear that our existing relations to
the empire are even now at the part
ing of the ways. e, Our subordionate
position has been so clearly and so
humiliatingly revealed that 1t must
speedily become unbearable.
The Chronicle adds that three are
now only two courses open for
Canada - complete legislative in
dependence within the empire,
acknowledging the sovereignty Of the
king Of England alone. or the status
Of an independent nation. The paper
says there is much to commend the
latter step, because IL would free
Canada from the danger of being
ever embroiled with the United
Oh account of its European
connection and at the same time
would secure for the dominion the
benefit Of the protection Of the
Mo nroe docrtine.

Isaac Labissoniere, who has been living

so long. He helped build the log chapel
in 1871 from which the city was named.
When Labissoniere helped 1lew the logs
and put them in place, st. Paul was
known by the euphonious name of Pig 3
Eye" name which is now resented by
the down river community when used by
Minnea politans.
Labissoniere addressed the State His
