 'There is something. after all. in those trif1es that friends bestow upon each other which is an unfailing indi cation of the place the giver holds in the affections. I would believe that one who preserved a lock of hair. a simple flower or any trifle of my be. slowing loved me. though no show was made of it. while all the protesta- tions in the world would not win my confidence in one who set no value on such little things. Trifles they may be, but it is by such that character and disposition are oftenest revealed"

New IA Inch Army Gun Fires a Projectile
 Weighing 1,600 Pounds
Special from United Fress.)

(Special from OnfteG Fress)
 Washington, Feb. 5.-Colonel Charles J. Bailey and several other ordnance experts of the coast artillery corps have been ordered to New York to ob- serve the tests of the new IA inch army gun which is to be tried out at Sandy Hook on Monday. The effec- tiveness of the big cannon will be de- termined by compact targets.
 The gun fires a projectile weighing 1.60O pounds, but the muzzle velocity is less than that of the present type of 12-inch artillery now in use. It is foured that the life of the new gun will be from to 4 times greater than that of the 12-inch gun

Special Days at the Camp
meeting.

1t Is expected that every day at the
campmeeting will be great day, for

Cantonites at Roundup

Among the crop reports published in
the Roundup, Montana, Tribune, we
find the following which will interest
Mr.. Bragstad's old Canton friends.
From a field of Is acres of oats
planted March 10th, Mr.. s. G. Bragstad
pesented the Tribune with good
fair sized sample on Monday Morning.
The stalks will average over three feet
in length and are as green and rank
as any grain could possibly be, showing
that there is plenty of moisture In the
ground to- mature the crops. The
stalks are all headed out and of fair
length. This field Of grain II grown

Death of David Campbell

The Sioux City Journal of last Sum
day contains long notice of the death
Of one of the most famous old pioneers
that ever captained a boat up that
turbid Missouri river when Indians
were bad and white men few.
The scalp spoken of below was
presented to the writer by Captain
Campbell and some relic hunter stole
1t. The following is from the
Journal =.
after the Custer massacre the
wounded soldiers of Maj. Reno's
command were brought on board the
Far West, and Capt. Marsh and Capt.
Campbell taking regular shifts at the
wheel, making a record breaking run
from the Big Horn river down to Fort
Lincoln, opposite Bismarck. The
Far West soon returned to the scene
of active warfare, and at the mout tn
Of the Powder river Capt. Campbell
had one of the most exciting expert
ences of his life. A large amount of
grain was to be moved from there to
one of the forts farther up the river,
and while the cargo was being taken
on board the Capt. went, with two
scouts, Brockmeyer and Morgan, to
locate band of Indians who had
fired on them earlier in the day, but
which was repulsed by the soldiers,
who were carried to guard the steam
boat and crew.
RUNNING FIGHT WITH INDIANS.
When about a mile down the river
the captain and scouts discovered
seven we'll mounted and we'll armed
Indians running in from the hills tc
cut them Off from the boat. A run
ming fight was carried on for some dis
tance, Brockmeyers hosse being the
slowest left him considerably behind
the others and then, to make a bad
position worse, the animal fell with
his rider just when the men on the
boat, being attracted by the firing,
started to the rescue. The Indians
had halted, but on seeing Brockmeyel
unhorSed more venturesome mem
Der Of the band dashed forward and
shot him before he had time to pro-
tect himself or his friends knew Of
his accident. When Capt. Campbell
who was nearest Brockmeyer, heard
the shot he dismounted and, resting
his rifle over the saddle, took deliber
ate aim and shot the Indian, seeing
him fall headlong from his horse. The
other Indians turned for the timber
as fast as they could go and soon were
out of rifle range and lost to view
Brockmeyer was carried to the boat
mortally wounded and died in a few
hours. The Indian method of scalp
ing their foes had become prevalent
among the soldiers of that territor,
and the temptation was too great fol
Capt. Campbell to let such a chanc,
pass. So he took his hunting knife
and removed the scalp of the Indiar
and retained it for sometime as
trophy Of his first real fight with tn
red men,"

Big Fire at Orphan Home

During the heavy rain and brilliant
electric display last Friday night, a
bolt of lightning struck the big barn
at the Orphan Home and it was
totally consumed with three COWS,
fourteen calves, a quantity of hay,
harness and farm tools. The air was
filled with lightning and the display
was brilliantly frightful when the
barn was hit. Superintendent Gun
derson half dressed and in bare feet
rushed to the rescue. He managed to
save all his horses and with help
could have saved the cows and calves,
but there was no available help for
the emergency. Mr.. Gunderson
worked like a fire chief and when the
trouble was over he found big
silver in one of his feet and the wound
bled freely when the silver was re-
moved. The COWS were valuable
animals and the calves were all of
good blood and he regretted exceed
ingly their loss.
The loss was about $4,000 with
insurance for half that amount. 1t
was fortunate indeed that the main
building escaped as many of the little
ones might have lost their lives and
some were too sick to have been re-
moved with safety.

Major James McLauglin of the In
terror Department, the best posted
and most trusted Inspector of Indian
affairs in the country, arrived in
Canton last Saturday to look over the
Asylum and It's needs. No man in
the United States today knows the
Indian so we'll as the Major, who has
been connected with the Indian bu-
reau for Al years, and the writer has
known him for 40 years, ever since he
came to Yankton in 1870 as witness
In shooting scrape between soldiers
which took place at Fort Totten at
Devils Lake, and it was one of the
most notable military trials in the
history of the territory. Judge Bart
lett, Colonel Moody. General Trip,
Delegate Sphinx and Geo. Fl. Hand,
were in it on one side or the other and
all Of them are dead. Capt. Vain
wright of Fort Totten. who kept
everybody filed with champagne for
three weeks, is also among those who
have passed away. General Whistler
and Captain Bush were down from
Fort Randall, and they are gone to
their reward. Major Mclaughlin
alone remains of those who were Of
ficially present at that famous trial.
There is little Indian history dur
ing the past 40 years that Major
Mclaughlin has not been connected
with for the government, and as a
true friend of the Indian he stands
without an equal. There is not a
chief or subchief among all the tribes
who has not found his council wise
and his advise sound, and all have
implicit confidence in any statement
he makes to them. He won their con
fidence by truth and square dealing
and talks the language of all tribes a.
well as the sign language. He ha!
been the treaty maker between tht
government and the Indians for man,
years, and has never failed to brins
peace among the warning elements.
He is very genial gentleman and
royal companion, and his presence
here calls to memory many stirring
events on the Missouri river in TIN
days when q white mans hair VA
ln0t near Is safe as 1t Is now.
