INDIAN CANN|BAL IN
NORTHERN MINI.
Cruiser Arrives In DnIuth From the North
And Confirms the StoU.-Red Man
Killed and ate Wife and Child.

Duluth, March II. Crust Bran
don, who has been cruising be-
tween Tower and Koochiching,
arrived here last night on his way
to Minneapolis and confirmed the
report of the alleged cannibalism
on the Net lake reservation.
Brandon was near Pelican lake
at the time the Indian was claimed
to have killed and eaten his wife
and child. and the second day
after, which was about two weeks
ago, met a small party of Boisfort
Indians who were on their way to
the west end of Vermillion lake.
From these Indians Brandon
learned of the killing and says his
information is unquestionablN
authentic. He was told that the
Indian who is claimed to have
committed the horrible deed was
a shiftIess sort of Il fellow, and
during a drunken spree killed
both his wife and child and later
deyored parts of their bodies to
avoid starvation. This Indian
lived in dismal part of the reser-
vation. Minneapolis Tribune.

Tuberculosis III Cattle.

It has been commonly believed, says
an exchange, that tuberculosis among
cattle was more common in the GRO wd-
ed districts, in and about the large
cities. The report of the state live
stock sanitary board, which was given
at the annual meeting of the board at
the state capitol last week, proves
that this is not the case, and the re-
port given by DR.. S. Il. Ward, secre.
tary OF the society, impresses once
mole upon our minds the necessity
tor immediate and united effort in the
direction of procuring good milk for
use In the country as we'll as in the
cities. DR.. Ward states that 74s
cattle have been condemned and killed
for tuberculosis during the past year,
and also states that fully one-half OF
this number were COWS found outside
our large cities. When we consider
that comparatively few tests have been
made in county districts we realize the
awful possibilities of this scourge,
and hope for the time when no milk
will be sold in this community unless
the COWS have been proved to be in a
condition which will not endanger the
health OF our people.

The Campbell Brothers big circus

this vicinity where they will exhibit
this season and the opportunity to
witness it should not be missed. In

will be anywhere near Willmar this

age could be secured. here for their
immense trains but the railroad CON-
pany guarantees it and their coming
on June % Is now an assured fact.

big shows in one at one price of ad-

Brtn4S Relief.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it by drugging the stomach.
Temporary relief may be given, but a
cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure catarrh
would be to have q change of climate;
but now With Hyomei you can carry a
health giving climate in your vest
pocket and by breathing it a few
minutes four times day soon cure
yourself.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81. 90 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and q bottle OF
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts lifetime,
and IT one bottle does not cure, an
extra bottle of Hyonei can be oh.
tanned for so cents. It is the most
economical of all remedies advertised
for the cure of catarrh, and is the
only one that follows nature in her
method of treating diseases of the re-
spiratory organs.
A. E. Mossberg has sold a great
many Hyomei outfits and the more he
sells, the more convinced he is that he
is perfectly safe in guaranteeing to

We read in an exchange not long

if certain person who purchased a
bill of goods from a we'll known Chi
cago firm at large discount from
home trade had come to his home mer-
chant and had offered him cash in ad-
vance, plus the freight from Chicago
he would have duplicated the order
for him. We carefully looked the
matter over but failed to see where the
merchant let the people know it. No
sir, and not q single line of advertising
telling the people he was in business
there, and yet expected the people to
know what be would do. The masses
of people are not mind readers, and
have no means Of knowing what a
merchant will do unless he tells them.
