CHIPPEWA INDIAN CHIEFS.

Wah-we- vay-cum-ig and Gay-gway-ge-
way-bin-uns. the Popular Chippewa
Braves.
TheO. H. Beaulieu of White Earth
in an article in the Minneapolis Jour-
nal has the following to say of these
two leading men of the Minnesota
Chippewas:
1.-The full-blood Chippewa chiefs,
orators and statesmen of the Mime
sofa Chippewas of the present day,
Wah-we-way-cum-ig (Round-Earth),
head chief of the Mile Lacs bands
and hereditary head chief of all the
Mississippi bands of Chippewa In
dians, and the distinguished Bear Is
land chief, Gay -gway -ge-way -bin-ung
(He-Who-Tries to Throw), head chief
OF the Bear Island bands and leading
chief OF the Leech Lake Pillager Chip
pewas, are the leading members of the
Chippewa Indian tribes in Minnesota.
These two well-known chiefs are, with
out doubt, in point of popularity, in
fiuence and intelligence, the most dis
tinguished of Minnesota full-blOod
Chippewa chieftains. They are splen-
did specimens of the traditional noble
red men and possess the better char
acteristics of their race, although their
general manner and habits betrays the
effect Of contact with educated men of
the white race. In dealing with cues
tions effecting tribal affairs, they are
keen and diplomatic.
'Way-we-way-cum-ig is truly the
scion of noble sire. He is the son
Of the famous Chippewa chief, Wah-
de-nah, after whom the prairie city of
Z Wadena is named. He was born at
Mile Lacs sometime during the year
1850, and is, consequently, ffty-three
years of age. He was proclaimed head
chief of the Mile Lacs Chippewas by
unanimous consent of the chiefs of the
different bands, at a council held at
Mile Lacs with the members of the

How to Chew Ones Food.

The fact that the average man chews
his food too short time is not by
any means new, but the advantage of
careful mastication is SO great that it
is we'll worth careful consideration.
An English merchant residing in Italy,
has started crusade along these lines
which has really worked wonders.
Despeptics of years standing have
cured themselves by slow careful eat
ing and others have found themselves
better by a>less amount of food when
taken this way. If golden grain belt
beer is added to the meal eaten in this
way, no man could complain of indi-
gestion and in addition he will enjoy
his meal twice as much. Order of

DEATH OF FRANK BRoGAN

Friday Night.
Frank Brogan, for many years one
of the characters about town. was
found dead in the village lookup last
Friday night about seven o. 'clock when
Marshal Newton took supper over. to
Brogan. The marshal left Brogan at
the lookup at two p. m. and at that
time "Brog, . as the boys called him.
was feeling all right. When the mar
shall found the body it was not vet
cold, and Brogan had been dead per-
haps an hour or SO. DR.. Cooney was
summoned and pronounced it case
of heart disease superinduced bv alco-
holism from which Brogan had snf-
fered.
A short time before New Year,s he
went to drinking pretty hard, and
stated to Judge Chadbourne who took
him to task for getting drunk. that it
was necessary to have a drunk and he
proceeded to have it and found no
trouble in having it. For several
days he hung around Marks barns
until he became a nuisance and week
ago last Sunday Marshal Newton mt
him in the lookup and the next day
Justice Chadbourne imposed ninety
day sentence, but modified it SO that
Brogan could remain in confinement
until he became sober, when he was to
go into the woods.
He was given some medicine while
confined and had the freedom of the
jail Office, and did not suffer for want
of attention. Had he not been taken
in charge by the marshal he would
have died in the gutter.
The body was taken to the Ross un-
dertaking rooms where it was prepared
for burial. The members of the old
fire company, of which Brogan was a
member, took charge of the funeral
arrangements and used what funds
were in the treasury to pay the funeral
expenses. Brogan was member of
Company NJ of the Fourteenth regi-
ment and remained with his company
during the time it remained at Chick
amauga and returned with it. The
militia boys donated a burial lot at
Oak Knoll cemetery. Brief funeral
services were held at the undertaking
rooms Sunday at 2 p. M. by Rev.
Gratz, and many members of the old
fire company and the militia attended,
as we'll as several who had known
Brogan for many years. The Spanish
American war veterans furnished flow
ers for the funeral and helped to bury
their comrade with honors.
Like many who have gone before
him, and many who are to follow him,
Frank Brogan was his worst enemy.
He had lived in Princeton fifteen or
twenty years, and by trade he was
painter. He was cursed with the
periodical spree habit that has sent
many a royal good fellow to his grave.
Brogan had many good points to- his
calloused nature and if a friend he
was loyal friend. During the ty-
phoid epidemic at Chickamauga Bro
gan stuck to some of the afflicted boys
! like a brother and when Claire Galley
was critically i'll with the disease Bro
gan nursed him like mother and
never left him until Claire was out of
danger.
Little is known of his family Of
which he never said much. He had
spoken of two sisters who were mar
ried, but never chose to tell anyone of
their whereabouts.

Chicago, ILL, March lit is reported
that walking delegates Of employ

has become keen among them, and, as
result, some of them have been ac-
cused of "scabbing." Some of the
walking delegates of the employers are
secretaries for so many associations
that they have to keep printed list
Of them as a sort Of daily reminder. It
is an unwritten rule among them that
the least they. will accept for a: secre-
taryship is SIS a month. v. W. Sincere
is accused of accepting the secretary
ship of the Candy Manufacturers AS
soeia ton for $50, thus cutting the legitt-
mate price. There are about forty Of
these employers walking delegates in
Chicago, and they believe they should
have board to govern their actions
and prices. F. w. Job is to be the chief
walking delegate. Tentative rules have
been drawn up and a meeting is to- be
held for the purpose Of adopting a con-
stitution. The minimum. scale is to be
SIS month";. with an extra bonus of
$100 for every labor union broken up.
Any walking delegate who does not get
his name in at least two daily papers

mitted to the retail coal dealers, to the
effect that only union men shall be

be submitted to three arbitrators. There
is to be no lockout or strike If the de-

WOMEN i :. and !: CHILDREN

Twenty thousand working children
under sixteen years of age will parade
through the downtown streets on the
Fourth of July and then enjoy picnic
at Lincoln Park. The marchers will be
from the sweatshops, stores, candy and
cigar factories and all other places
where children are employed.
The child laobr law has passed the
Iowa Senate. AS the bill will go to the
house, it prohibits the employment Of
any child under IA, or any under .16
years, not five feet in height or weight
to equal 14s pounds, in any factory,
mine or quarry in the State.
There are IS children going to school
in southern New Jersey who receive
daily wages from tn Glass Bottle
Blowers union. When the new Child
Labor law went into effect in that
state the union found many cases where
the children's wages. were necessary to
aid their families. The union found the
most deserving and pays the children
their former wages while they are at
school. # they miss a day. at school
they are docked..
Child labor is said to be rapidly de-
creasing in New York State.

1t is not stated that Mr.. jerks wept
as he pictured the pathetic plight Of

be beneficial and not injurious to the

Have Big Strike On Hand

New Iberia, La, March 17.-The1e is
big strike here of the employees of
the Gilbert Shinble Co., and the Iberia
Cypress co. It has been on since the
first week in February. Federal Labor
Union No. $500 has charge of the strike,
and according to a statement from
headquarters the trouble is over a re-
duction in wages forced by the COM
panies. A Is per cent reduction in
wages and the II hour hour day is
wanted by the mill employers. To this
the union objects. A determined fight
is being put up. While the union is
in its infancy in this neck of the woods
the men are earnest and sincere and
mean to win. Every effort to secure
outside men by the manufacturers has
failed, and the union feels that if the
men can hold out for q, while longer
they will surely win.

IF workingmen are out Of the un-

Prof. Fl. P. Newcomb, the famous
scientist, at the recent convention of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science, held in. St. Louis
"rhe single workingman,'' he said, ''is
at the same disadvantage as the small
manufacturer. Just as the small manu.
facturer finds it necessary to join a.
large corpora ton, so the single worker
finds it necessary to join a union. Any
workingman who is out a Of trade un-
Ion today is long way behind the
times. AS long as the present wage
system endures, both capital and labor
will be obliged to organize. The cut
throat competition Of the present time
makes combination absolutely neces-
sary as a method of self-preservation.
