Half Crazed Woman Said to Have

MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA.-Longing again for
her old home in Norway and being unable
to buy transportation, Mrs. Ingeborg Katrine
Helgersen tramped from Marshalltown to Chi
cago, where she was found wandering about the
streets in the belief that somewhere in that
great metropolis ticket that would take her
back to the fatherland was awaiting her While
perfectly harmless the woman is probably ment-

the way to Chicago during the inclement weather
seems mystery.

Euzier Bros, who went into bankruptcy a few

of 40 cents on the dollar in payment Of claims,

BIG SAYING MADE
BY WISCONSIN
ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION
BY COMMISSIONERS HOST.
state Is Now Carrying the Bulk of Its
Own Insurance, Made Possible BY
"a New Law-Receipts of the De-
partment Largely in Excess of 1902
New Appointment to Board OF
University Regents.

MADISON, wIS.-The state Insurance
department did a f1ourishing business last
year. Its receipts were $6OS 1914 against
s46s 900 in 1902 and $435,0O0 in 1901. This
big increase in revenues Is due largely to
the economical administration of Commits
sioner Host and to some changes In the
state laws last winter.
The most important Of the new laws
thatSwent into effect during the year was
the one providing that the state should
carry it's own insurance. the law went
into effect July last, and provides that
an insurance equal to 80 per cent OF the
actual value of the various state buildings
the capitol, state charitable and penal
institutions and state university buildings
shall be carried by the state.
The rate Is the average of those of
stock policies on the different buildings.
The stock policies are to be allowed to
expire In their natural order and to be
replaced by state insurance. Since the
law went into effect the state has ac-
cumulated an insurance fund of s6.59S.51,
and hus suffered no loss. 1t carries So, 283.
6S5 Of Its own insurance and has stock
policies yet amounting to $2,206,175.
Banker on the Board
Governor La Toilette has appointed Luz
Glen s. Hanks, a leading banker Of Mad
ison az a member Of the state board Of
university regents, to fill sthe vacancy
caused by the death Of Breese J. Stevens.
The appointment is Tor the term ending
the first Monday in February, 1905. MIR.
Hanks has previously served one term on
the board
Large General Fund.
The general fund of the state treasury
contained 1851 ,033.S5 at the close of bust
ness last night, against $3.50, 503.76 on the
same date year ago. All of the current
expenses Of the state. amounting to about
$4,000 900 q year, come out of this fund.
The reason it is so much larger now than
a year ago Is because of the payment Of
900 from the government on the Wis
consin war claim and the increased re-
ceipts from railroad taxes and other
sources
In order to keep the state taxes
down this year, the administration recent
ly ordered $4,000 transferred from the
general fund to the state tax fund pur-
poses. This transfer will not be made I'M
til next month. Considering this transfer,
there is really only a balance of about $11, :
900 in the general fund now

CASS LAKE, MINN.--Chief Wah-we-
way cum ig, a member Of the Mile Laos
band of Chippewa Indians passed thru
Cass Lake this week OF his way to the
White Earth reservation. The old chief
was accompanied by his family, and his
trip to White Earth marks an epoch in
the history Of the Mile Laos.
-we-way -cum-ig is the first head
of a family of the Mile Laos band who is
acting in conformity with the provisions
Of the treaty between that band and the
government, negotiated by Major Nc
Laughlin in the fall of 1902. Under it all
of the Mile Laos were to be removed
from their reservation to the diminished
reservation at White Earth there to make
their permanent home.
The Indians have exhibited great reluc-
lance to leave the reservation, which has
been the home Of the present band and
their forefathers for generations. Owing
to their excellent record in the past, no
severe measures have been taken for their
removal. Old Chief Wayne way-cum-ig,
who is one of the wisest of the band,
decided that his people must live up to
their agreement, and so set an example
to his tribesmen. &
Others will follow him, and in another
year it is expected that nearly if not all
Of the Indians will remove to their new
hunting grounds.

the many predictions
that the Mile Laos Indians could never
be removed to the w hite Earth reservation
without a regiment of soldiers, about
ready to come as soon as provision can be
made for them. Rev. Frank Porter, a
Mile Laos Indian who is employed as re-
moval clerk for these Indians returned to
this reservation last week with nineteen
Mile Laos Indians. He reports that many
others are ready to come just as soon as
the government can give them houses and
provisions to enable them to live until
they can get settled on their allotments.
Under the treaty made with these in
dams by Inspector Mclaughlin and Agent
Michelet they are to be provided with
houses, teams. wagons, farming imple
ments and provisions sufficient for their
needs until they have had time to get their
allotments under cultivation. To conform
to the terms Of this agreement will re-
,quire a large sum of money.
The Mile Laos Indians say they are now
ready to do as they agreed to do, namely,
to move to the White Earth reservation
and take up their allotments and make
this their permanent home. They now
want the government to keep it's promise
and furnish them houses and the means
to establish themselves homes. Agent
Michelet is fastening their removal as fast
as possible and says he is sure that al
of these Indians can be removed by mex
spring, provided he is furnished with suf
ficient means.
The sale of inherited Indian lands +.
steadily increasing at the agency, and {
number of approved sales have been re
turned by the department for final trans
fer by the Indian agent. This is placing il
the hands of some of the older Indians
large sums for their declining years.
