The family came west in 1856 and
settled near New Ulm. When the pill
lage OF the savages was at its height,
Mrs. Stott was the main hope of a
band OF twenty women and children
who focked to her home from sur
rounding homesteads and where she
for three days kept, a band Of Indians
at bay with 'squaker rifles" having
all the appearance of the real
thing from the occasional discharge Of
an old musket from loophoIes. On
the approach of soldiers the Indians
retreated.
Mrs. Stott was able to keep the
women and children together and safe
in her home, though many of them
were frantic with fear and crazed with
grief over the loss of loved ones and
the burning of homes. In some way
food was supplied and water brought
to supply their wants from nearby
stream during the siege.
After the Indian troubles had ended
Mrs. Stott and her husband moved to
the little village OF Northwood, Iowa.
This was in 1862, and from that point
Rev. Mr.. Stott continued his mission:
airy work among the settlers until, re.
turning home from lone trip in the
fall of 1877, cold and wet, he contracte6
a cold from which he died. Mrs
Stott remained few years at North
wood, then went to Albert Lea an6
then to Spokane.

MADAME NORDICA
 WEEDS IN LONDON

London July 29.-Madame Nordica, the American opera singer, was married today to George w. Young, a New York banker. at King Weigh House church, Grosvenor Square. The ceremony was performed in the presence of a few friends, most of whom are well-known in American and English society.
 Madame Nordica wore beautiful gown of pale gray satin, the corsage being cov- cred with rare old Venetian lace. She wore no hat nor veil, but instead a chaplet of laurel leaves. Her only orna- ment was a string of handsome pearls, a gift from the bridegroom.
 James R. Carter, the secretary of the American embassy in London, gave away the bride and Fred Townsend Martin of New York was the best man. Madame Nordcas sister Miss Emile Del Castillo and Mrs. Baldwin and W. Fenton Chaun- eey accompanied her to the church. The service was that of the Church of Eng land and the Lohengrin wedding march was played when the bridal couple en- tered. There were no bridesmaids.
 The presents included diamonds and pearls from the bridegroom and gifts from Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, the secretary of the American Em- bassy and Mrs. Carter, the Dowager Duchess of Manchester, the Countess of Shrewsbury, Lady Lister Kaye, Sir AL fred Turner and Mrs. Frank MacKay.

CLIMAX TO CUBAN
 CABINET CRISIS

Havana, July 2e.-The cabinet crisis, which for some time has been impending, reached a climax today when all the min isters, as well as the presidential secre- tary, Senor Castellanos, signed their res ignauons, which will be officially pre- scented to President Gomez on his ar rival tomorrow from Cay Cristo.
 The action of the cabinet was taken after a conference with the avowed pur- pose of expressing loyalty to the presi- dent, and of relieving him of the embar- rassment of making removals.
 According to rumor, Louis Octayio Di- vino, of the department of justice, will be succeeded by Raniro Cabrera; Nicholas Alberd, secretary of the interior, by Gen eral Machado, now Inspector general of the armed forces; Dr. Matthias Duque, sec retary of sanitation, by Senor Alberdi, and Postmaster General Nordese by Senor Morua Delgado, ex-president of the sen- ate, and leader of the colored party.
 The resignations of Neito Lagueruela, secretary of public works, who recently was severely criticised by the dismissal of James Page, chief engineer of construc- tion at the Cienfuegos water works, and Senor Castellanos, who developed anti American prejudice since his appointment to office will probably be accepted. It is practically certain that Justo Garcia Valez will be retained as secretary of state.

the Senate from $1.75 a dozen to $l.20 These rates were adopted
 On lumber some concessions were made in spite of the fact that the Presidents instructions were compiled with to the letter. Rough lumber was made dutiable at $1.25 per thousand feet finished on one side, $1.75; finished on two sides, or one side planed and tongued and grooved, s2.15; finished on three sides, $2.524, and finished on four sides, $2.s0.
 To conciliate Senators Piles and Jones the conference adopted the Senate rate of DO cents a thousand on shingles in stead of the House rate of 30 cents.
 A Sop for Hepburn.
 In order to obtain the support of Senator Hepburn, the industries of whose state had been assailed through the abolition of the duty on hides, tho reduction in the duty on lumber and the reduction in the differential on pig lead in bars, the latter schedule was reconsidered.
 A rate of 2b cents pound on pig lead in bars was fixed.
 A concession was made to the cat tie industry today by taking tallow off the free list
 The rates on hosiery were increased about 20 per cent in grades valued at from S1 to s2 a dozen pairs. This is an increase over existing rates. On all other values of hosiery the Dingley rates were retained.
 When the minority members ad- journed tonight it was announced that the tariff experts they had called in had proceeded far enough to show that the new bill will be an increase of from l to 8 per cent over the ad yalorems of the Dingley law. It is understood that in reaching this cal culation the experts did not take into consideration artices changed from the dutiable to the free list which the re- publican conferees say would reduce the average ad yalorems considerably below those of existing law.
