| A report says JEFF Davis was
manacled on both ankles, with a
chain connecting them three feet
long. He stoutly resisted the pro-
cess of manacling,and threatened
vengeance on those who did it.
Rather than submit, be wanted the
guards to shoot him. It became
necessary to throw him on his back
and hold him until the irons were
clinched by a son of Vulcan. No
knives or forks are allowed in his
ceIl-notning more destructive then
a camp spoon.
The soldiers-God bless them
are coming home. The war-be-
grimed heroes of hundred battles,
stained with the dust of triumphal
marches from the Missouri to the
gulf, and from the Mississippi to
the Potomac, and brown with the
Southern sun, in whose beams they
have rekindled all the faded stars of
the national banner; the men who
have saved the republic and estab
lished freedom for all generations
the gallant, glorious boys in blue
are coming home. 1t will take all
our lifetime and the lives of many
generations yet to come to exhaust
the gratitude which this nation
owes to its defenders. Let US pre-
pare, then. to give such a reception
that its memory will be carried for
ever in the hearts of the boys in
blue.
Our friend, A. FL. Wimbish, well
known to our citizens, isone of those
Observation-Disclosures reversed
by the war. He was formerly one of
the proprietors of the Montgomery
(Ala.) Advertiser, and this being
the origional rebel capital he wit
messed the Inauguration of jeff
Davis. Always an ardent Union
man, his sympathies' were suspected,
and when the book was opened at
the city hall, where every citi-
zen was compelled, under the ter
rors of mob law, to subscribe to an
oath to support the Confederacy,
Mr.. Wimbish, at the peril of life,
refused to do so. BY this act he
sacrificed all his property and left
for the north. His newspaper in
terest was worth $4,000. His
paper at that time was fattening up
on Confederate printing. having al
ready received SO, 900 cash.
Citizens of ST. Paul are invited to
subscribe to fund for purchase,
of bloodhounds to be used for trac~
ing Indian assassins. The St. Paul
Press heads this fund with contri-
button of $50. Col. McLaren adds
$40 and others will sooa be heard
from. Col. G. P. Evans, of Garden
City, near relative of the Jewett
family, who were murdered near
Mankato by the Sioux recently, has
been delegated by the settlers of the
Minnesota valley to proceed South
and purchase pack of bloodhounds-
A few hundred dollars subscribed
to his bloodhound fund would, Mr..
Evans thinks, be worth reinforce

Dan Gibbs Residence Suffered $500 DAM
age partly Insured. High Wind might
have Swept Fire over the Town.
About eleven O'Clock Wednesday
forenoon a fire alarm was rung in and
the department turned out to fight a
blaze which had started in the house
occupied by Dan Gibbs on Dinner
street The inside of the dwelling
was in flames but fortunately the fire
had not yet broken through the walls
or roof when the department arrived.
The. chemical engines were first on
the scene and soon two streams were
playing on the fire. These held it in
check until the engine was started and
the water turned on. In very few
minutes the danger was over. It was
a most fortunate thing that the blaze
was noticed as soon as it was and that
no untoward accident caused delay
in bringing ths water to play else we
might have had a different story to
tell. a high wind prevailed and had
the. fire broken ont through the build
ing it would have required heroic
work to have kept it from spreading
to the entire southern part Of the res
idence district. a narrow escape.
The contents of Mr.. Gibbs house
we're badly damaged. many articles Of
furniture being almost consumed. We
understand the damage will reach
labout 800 and it is only partially
insured. His new residence just north

Some of the young folks took pos

Monday evening. About eighteen
couples were present and a fine time
is reported. The music was furnished
by Maurice Rygg, James Haskett and
Ben Brown and is said to have been
good. Supper was served at mid
might after which dancing continued
for couple of hours.

We omitted to mention last week
the success of the Trent auction sale.
A large number attended and most of
the goods offered were sold at good
prices : John G. Stover and Henry
Russell took some Of their cattle out
there and sold them along with Mr..
Trent's and all found ready buyers.
The blooded stock sold especially we'll.
Ross Trimble. the genial east end
county commissioner, purchased six of
Trent's and two each of the Stover
and Russell herds. Many other pur-
chasers came long distances to buy
thorvughbreds.
re Mr.. George J. Russell; from near
Westhope attended the. Trent sale last
week and added some blooded stock to
his herd. He also purchased fine
Shcrthorn bull from Thos. Patching.
He is enthusiastic in the matter of
raising blooded stock and will con-
tinue to improve his herd. He says
he has had good success with sheep
during the past year and purposes add
ing more to the flock in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. Russell has the right idea.
A new time schedule goes into effect
on this branch on Monday the Goth
inst. After that date the train will
leave Antler at 5 :25 a. m. daily ex-
cept Sunday. There has been some
talk of a daily service but this will
not happen yet for a while. This
train will connect with flyer No. 4
for the east and with No. 3 going
west, at Rugby. The train will leave
Bottineau at 1915 a. m. The COM

oNEIDAs' SACRED STONE.
Last Relic of Once Powerful Tribe
Now In a Utica Cemetery.

Just within the gates of Forest Hill
cemetery at Utica, N. Y, the visitor
sees curious oval stone resting upon
a grass plot. A century ago Oneida
county was the reservation of the
powerful tribe Of Oneida Indians, the
second nation in the Confederation OF
the Iroquois.
The first settlement of the Oneidas,
so their history runs, was near the
lake which bears their name, CEN
fury before Columbus steered his ships
into Western seas. 1t was there that
they found the stone and adopted 1t
as their sacrificial altar. "Onia" is
the dialect word for stone and from
1t comes Oneida" the tribal name,
children of the stone"
AS the tribe increased in numbers,
veneration of the monolith grew until
it became the indispensable shrine of
the Oneidas. When the nation re-
moved from the region of the lake to
their encampment where now is the
town of Stockbridge, the rock, accord
ing to their legend, went before them
"iIhOuS IhC VI uuIlldu
hands, and deposited itself in the CEN
ter of butternut grove overlooking
wide and fertile valley.
In this wood it remained until the
influx of the white settlers and tie
march of civilization dispersed the
tribe. In 1S49, when the Forest Hill
cemetery, at Utica, was laid out, the
trustees learned that James Gregg Of
stockbridge, on whose farm the stone
rested, was DESTROYS that it should be
removed to some public enclosure. It's
removal was thereupon secured.
At the dedication of the cemetery
the remnants of the once powerful ma
ton and handful of Onondagas were
present. Their head chief, Ononeogon,
made an address which was the vale
dictory of the Oneidas. The little
group Of Indians then sang their ma
tional songs around the relic and sur
rendered it to the care of their white
brethren. To-day the tribe has COM
pletely lost its identity.

Gain In Asiatic Exports,

During the ten months ending with
April the exports of domestic produce
from the United States to Asia were
$99,622,763. For the same period
year ago they were $49,970,731. The
increase is nearly $50,000,0O0 or 100
per cent. American exports to Asia
during these ten months were greater
than to South America, Oceanica and
Africa combined.
The 100 per cent increase in ex-
ports to Asia is all the more signifi.
cant in view Of the fact that our ex.
port total to all countries was some
what less, and to Europe notably re.
duced. There was a shrinkage of
nearly ST, 900, 900 in American exports
to Europe, and Of about $6,O0OOO0 to
Africa; while exports to Oceanica
were about the same as during the
same period last year. To South
America our exports increased $4,000
600, to Canada, $23,00O,OO0, and to
Asia close upon $5OOO0,OOO Conse-
quentfy two-thirds of all export gains
for the fiscal year to date have been
our commerce with Asia.

LIGHTS NOT NEEDED.
English Scientist Says Suns Effect on
Man is Bad

DR.. Charles Il. Woodruff has made
an exceedingly interesting investiga-
ton of the effects of tropical light on
white men. The origin of his investi-
CATION was an attempt to prove or dis
prove the theory that the skin pig
mentation of man served to exclude
the short or actinic rays of light
whose action is to destroy living pro-
toplasm.
If this theory is true 1t will ex-
plain at once many anthropological
riddles. We find in 1t a reason why
white men. while capital colonizers in
cold or temperate regions and saga
cious administrators of tropical col
onies, have failed when they attempt
ed themselves to colonize in hot coun-
tries; why blond types prevail in the
cloudy, almost sunless regions of the
north of Europe, brunette types in the
dazzlingly light countries bordering
on the Mediterranean, and the negro
in Central Africa; and why the type
of man living in the tireless city Is
less blond than that of the country
man who has during large portion
of his outdoor life the protection of
woodland and orchard.
DR.. Woodruff soon felt bound to ad-
nit that the sun is not the beneficent
deity we thought him to be as we
worshipped, but that he delights in
sacrifices and Stays ruthlessly those
1
lieve that man does not need the light
and it is almost shock to be made
to realize that "the vast majority Of
land animals live in absolute dark
ness" Yet DIR. Woodruff leaves little
reason to doubt his statements, for be-
sides the cogency of his reasoning
from universally accepted facts, he
fairly bristles with authorities whom
he cites in support of his position.

Rescued His Pipe, Too.

The Codorus creek, which over
flowed its Pennsylvania banks recent
ly, was the worst flood in years.
Many families stayed in their homes
until the water was waist deep. ELL
jah Purcell and his family were
among those slow to abandon their
homes. When the water was rushing
through his house hundreds of specta-
tors who stood on dry land yelled for
him to desert his house, which they
thought would be swept away. TAX
ing his little daughter up in his arms,
he waded through water up to his
waist until he reached point of safe
ty. Then he returned to the house
and rescued his wife in the same
way. Next he carried out several ar
ticles Of furniture. When the best OF
his belongings were deposited on dry
land he hesitated. The water was
now rising rapidly and was almost to
the mans neck when he waded into
1t. Il forgot something" he said, as
he stood at the edge of the water.
Wading back to his house he entered,
and reapparing, held in triumph above
the waves an old pipe. Il can't leave
this behind" he shouted and then
swan to place of safety, as the
water had risen beyond wading depth.

Boy Is Smothered.

BARTLEY-Francis Sipe, 9 years
old, lost his life in the Duff Grain
oompanys elevator here. The boys
father, James Sipe, is the company s
agent at this place and had commenc-
ed to load a car from the bin in which
francis and his younger brother were
laying. The elevator runs by horse
power and the boys were kept there
to drive the horse. There being no
grain to elevate at that time, they
climbed into the wheat bin to play, and
thus the boy lost his life.
