The Fort BethoId Bands.


Round the ancient trading post of
Fort Berthold, N. D.--a post of the
fur companies in the long ago-cluster
three strange and interesting Indian
tribes. The association of these three
bands-the Arikara, Minitari and Man
dan-shows how feeble tribes of differ
ent stock often had to join arms for
protection against a common foe, while
the Fort Berthold Indians afford most
interesting subjects for chronological in
vestigation.
The Arikara are Of Pawnee race; the
Enthusiastically known as "Gros

and the Mandan, if old tradition and
curious circumstances can be believed
are a mixture of Sioux, Mound Build
ers and Welshman.
Way back some 600 years ago, a
Welsh prince named Madoc sailed to
find a new world, and is believed to
have landed in North America, taken
his followers into the interior, and van
ished among the Indian tribes. At
about the same time, the misty, dim
figured Mound Builders were erecting
forts and houses along the Ohio River.
Traces Of their wanderings are shown
by the remains of these structures
down the Ohio, up the Mississippi, and
ending where the Mandan villages were
found 200 years ago.
The Mandan pattern homes and for

DEATH OF MRS. RICE.


Mrs. Emily M. Rice, former resi-
dent of Wausau and lady who was
dearly beloved by all who had the
honor of her acquaintance, died at her
home in Green Bay, last Thursday
morning, April Both, 1908. She was in
jured about three years ago, by a fall,
which resulted in broken hip and
since which time she had been confined
to her bed most of the time. This, with
her advanced age, fastened the end.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Rice were resi-
dents OF Wausau for a number of years
and about six years ago they went to
Green Bay to reside with their son,
George III. Rice. The following in
reference to the death of this good
woman is taken from the Green Bay
Gazette:
MRS Emily NJ Rice died this morn,
ing at Z O'Clock at the residence of her
son, George IL. Rice, after an illness of
about six weeks at the age of 81 years.
A general breaking down of the system
is given as the cause of the demise.
The funeral services will be held to-
morrow afternoon at l 80 O'Clock at the
sons home at $40 South Van Ruren
street. The remains will be taken to
Fort Atkinson, the home for many
years of the family, where interment
will be made.
Mrs. Rice was born in Colerain, Mass,
on August II, 1927. She came west and
lived in Wisconsin for about 60 years.
Fort Atkinson, Wausau and Green Bay
have been the home of the family at
different tires. Surviving the decedent,
are her husband, one son, George H.
Rice, and one daughter, Miss Lillian l..
Rice"
Messrs. j. A Porter and Frank Kelly
of this city went to Green Bay last Fri
day to be present at the funeral and to
accompany the remains to Fort Akin
son for interment.

Hudson, Wis, Observer, Rep. The
Taft boomers are getting scared. They
begin to realize that his chances to win
against Col. Bryan are very doubtful
All the powerful machinery Off the cor
porations which he represents is being
worked overtime in an effort to dis
credit Bryan and divide the democratic
camp. Gov. johnson, of Minnesota,
Jim Hill's right-hand" man, is their
weapon. and it is refreshing to see how
they boost johnson and praise his dem
ocracy, integrity and overshadowing
ability while they belittle Bryan. If
these elements really believed johnson
is stronger and better than Bryan do
you think they would boost him If
Johnson received the nomination he
would stand about as much chance as a
cake of ice in bake oven. Taft would
be the winner hands down. Taft may
be getting the delegates, and may get
the nomination, but ii he does his name
is mud. He is losing ground with the
people, and it is on this account that
the Associated Press, the most power
full agency of Wall street and its asso-
Citations is reviling Bryan. The read
ing public will do well to use salt with
the news furnished by the Associated
Press. Perhaps the republican party
will learn before the election that If
Bryan Is to be defeated it will have to
select q man with a better record than
Mr. Taft's.

AN AUTO PARADE.

Nearly every auto owner whom Neal
Brown has seen regarding the auto ride
to be given the visiting Woodmen dele
gates tomorrow has willingly loaned
his machine for the occasion. There
are a number whom Mr.. Brown has not
seen and these will confer favor by
bringing their cals to the BELLS House
corner at 100, when the parade starts
This should be matter of pride with
every auto owner, for the ride will give
our visitors an opportunity of seeing
the extent and general appearance of
the city. The route as at present
planned will be from the Bells House
to and into the fair grounds, down the
west side to the tannery, over the First
Seventh wards bridge. down to the
asylum to Schofield and Rothschild,
back to tie city, north TO the hospital
ard to end at the Bells House This
route will cover the greater portion of
the city, giving the Visitors view of
nearly every section of it, both at close
range 21d at distance. There are
over fifty autos in the city and every
one available will be required, for there
are over 100 delegates expected to be in
attendance at the convention. II is
quite likely that some cannot be given
places in autos and the committee will
undoubtedly be required to furnish
other means of conveyance.

have gone along sedately paying no at

Washington correspondents who say
that President Roosevelt is angry One
of them quotes Senator-unnamed-
as saying that the President declared TO

this outburst, the narrative goes on.
the President added, "Still, it is made

President Roosevelt is not the first
man whose relish of power does not de

slipping away from him. His impulsive
nature, which led him to t::.e indiscre-

have led him to the further indiscretion
