SITES r. FOOT CABIN
1857
OLD STONE WE'LL

The third place visited was the
scene of the fight on Eagle Lake
Creek at Stewards cabin. This is
without exception the most inter-
esting historic spot within the i'm
it's of Kandiyohi county. Here the
families of the lower settlement
took refuge on the evening of Aug.
20, 1862. Here on the morning of
the following day the Indians met
with the first resistance from the
settlers. Here Carl j. Carlson,
also known as "Swede Charlie, -
was killed in the potato patch.
Here Foot and Erickson with their
brave wives kept the Indians at
bay, altho both the men were final
ly wounded and rendered helpless,
Foot first having killed no less than
three Of the savages. Here these
men lay alone for thirty six hours,
expecting and hoping for death,
until rescued and carried to safety
by good mother Curl Endreson,
which heroic act is soon to be COM
memorated by a memorial to be
erected by the State of Minnesota
upon her grave in the Vik0r ceme-
terry. The exact spot of the old
Stewart cabin had been located pre-
vious to the dedication Of the mark
er by the help of Sondre Sender
son, on whose cultivated field the
same is located. President Birch
found an old clay pipe, a piece of
slate, pieces of crockery and dishes
on the spot, which he is keeping as
souvenirs. It was too bad that the
old cabin itself was not preserved.
Its logs are said to have been filled
with rifle balls, and the board wall
covering the old Fireplace was rid
died with bullets. The cabin was
torn down and taken to the Sender
son place, and the boys often
amused themselves with cutting out
the bullets from the logs. The
marker placed on this memorable
spot bears this inscription:

MAINTAIN HOSPITAL ON
THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS,

This he proceeded to do at once, I'M
der approval of the board of governors.
The work of preparation has gone
steadily on and it may not be unin-
teresting to the public and profession
to know what has been accomplished
and how we'll they may expect this de-
partment to do its work. The EXPOSE
on high ground fronting on Hampton
Roads and the first thing advised by
this department and promptly carried
into effect by the exposition authori-
ties was the installation of a COM
plete system of sewerage and under
ground drains for surface water. All
low places in and out of the grounds
for a mile around, were carefully
drained to get rid Of all chance for
mosquitoes and malaria and all super
fluous vegetation destroyed. 1 know
of no exposition where the work of
preparation for the best sanitation has
been so thoroughly done and is so
complete as that on the jamestown
exposition grounds. The next thing to
be accomplished was the bringing into
the grounds of an abundant supply OF
pure water and at this point the city
Of Norfolk stepped in the breach,
promptly laying an extension OF its
water mains a distance of seven miles
and bringing to the exposition a sup
ply of water plentiful in quantity and
of exceptional purity. The water is
drawn from fresh water lakes sur
rounded by we'll protected watersheds
and is filtered in a most approved
fashion before being pumped into the
city so that few cities can boast of a
water supply so free from germ life
and in every way of such expectionai
purity. The first building projected
AMI the first to be finished as we'll
was the Pocahontas hospital, in which
all emergencies, either medical or sur
gical will receive the necessary atten-
ton. This is a pretty little building,
exceedingly compact and convenient IN
arrangement with offices for the hospi-
tai staff. store room, diet, kitchen, male
and female wards, sterilizing room and
operating room on the first floor while
on the floors above are the dining
room, kitchen and sleeping apartments
of nurses and resident physicians. The
furnishing of the hospital will be COM
plete in every particular.
Many Able Physicians.
The staff of the hospital will con-
sist of the medical director and three
assistant physicians all of whom nave
had previous hospital experience,
head nurse and three assistant nurses.
The assistants will be selected from a

long list of applicants all with nhe
recommends tons.
Throughout the building and holdine
of the exposition the greatest atteh'ioi
has been paid to the sanitation OF the
grounds. Human excretions are car
ried away by the sewers while all gar
bage proper will be burned In Gre
matory built after the most approEeo
plans. During the exposition perioo
the grounds will be daily inspected by
a competent corps of sanitary inspect
ors. Every toilet room, restaurant
water stand, sOda-fOuntain and cOnces
sion will be daily looked into ano
every nuisance abated at the cost OF
the concessionaire. Any failure to
comply with the rules of sanitation
will mean the forfeit of all privileges
within the grounds.
The hospital is connected by tele-
phone with every part of the grounds
and an ambulance will be ready at all
hours to respond to emergency calls
1t will be >seen then that every pre-
caution possible is being taken to in
sure the health and happiness OF the
visitor and all may come safe in the
assurance that should emergency arise
it will be promptly relieved by skilled
attention under the best of conditions
and that every precaution will be TAX
en- to preserve the health and happi-
ness of the visitor.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 1.-THE his
orv Of all the great expositions has
demonstrated the necessity Of estab-
fishing as one of it's most important
factors a department of medicine and
sanitation. The character of the ar
chitecture, the handling of the very
heavy timbers required in bracing the
spacious buildings and wide spreading
roofs. the great amount of mill work
being done, by ofttimes unskilled la
Dor. the very rush of the work and
the multitude of men employed dur
ing the construction period all lead to
the occurrence of many accidents
Humanitarianism demands that those
seriously injured shall be cared for
and the very exigencies of exposition
building suggests the Importance of at
tending to even small accidents and
minor cases of illness promptly, on
the grounds, in order that as little
time as possible may be lost by en-
blowers from work that must be pushed
relentlessly on. During the exposition
reriod it is none the less important
that medical aid be ever at hand. The
exposition grounds are daily filled with
people of every age and cline. and
everything must be done to render safe
the coming of the weak and infirm, the
old and the young, the careful and
careless the cautious and reckless for
of all such is the exposition thrOng
made up.
And so when first the celebration
of the ter-centennial of the first set
Element at jamestown was projected
a few earnest and patriotic men care
fully considering each necessary step
to the successful contamination of
their hopes and plans wisely determin-
ed to establish department of medi-
cine and sanitation and place in con-
troll a medical director. The following
paragraph from the bylaws of the
company define the duties of the medi-
cal officer.
There shall be a medical director

DEAD SHOULD BURY THE DEAD"
Richmond Minister Won't Marry liv.
ing; Says His Mission Is to "Save
the Living"

RICHMOND, Jan. 1.-THE Rev.
John w. Daugherty. pastor of the
Apostolic church, refused to conduct
religious services today over the body
of Joseph Haywood, who was killed by
the fall of a smokestack. Mr.. Daugh-
erty said:
my authority is the sacred word of
God. AS to the burial of dead bodies
I of course. raise no objection. 1t is
a necessary and sanitary practice. My
protest is raised only where religious
observances are called in. l hold this
to be a violation of the principles and
practices of Christ. For instance.
Christ came to resurrect, not to bury,
the dead, and though Himself buried
burst from His sepulchre, defying
death and the carnal customs of those
who would bury the dead. | therefore
hold that the dead should bury the
dead. NV mission is to save the living
Mr.. Daugherty determined recently
to abstain from the performance OF
marriage ceremonies as antagonistic
to his religious beliefs.

BRAIN QUALITY.
1t Is of just as Much Importance As
the Quantity.

1t Is of just as Much Importance ~
the Quantity.
The brain Of Daniel Webster weigh
ed fifty-six or fifty-seven ounces, that
Of Napoleon BOnaparte about the same.
This is about three pounds and half.
These were exceeded by the brain of
Culver, the great French naturalist,
which weighed between fifty-nine and
sixty ounces, and that of the French
surgeon Dupuytren, which weighed
tifty-eight ounces. The average
weight Of the brain of man Is about
fifty ounces and Of women forty
five ounces. The maximum weight of
the healthy adult brain is about sixty
four ounces and the minimum thirty
one ounces. Men of great intellectual
power have generally if not always
possessed large brains. The quality Of
the brain Is. however, quite as imp0r-
tant as the quantity. so that a large
brain does not Of necessity constitute
a great man. The size Of the brain is
not in proportion to the physical de-
velopment of the body, either in ami
mails or in man. The horse has brain
less in weigh than the smallest adult
shuman brain; that Of a whale seventy
five feet long was found to weigh not
quite twice as much as that Of man.
Even in men there is no fixed relation
between the size of the body and that
of the brain. A small man may have
a large brain and big man a small
