DRUIDs ABOLISH INSURANCE.
Convention Delegates Decide to Do
Away With Risks.

Minneapolis. - Before their 1910
annual convention adjourned the Unit
ed Ancient Order of Druids of Mime
sofa amended it's constitution so as
to abolish insurance. Hereafter the
lodge will be only social and frater-
nal, although it is possible that upon
the death of a member a benefit"
will be voted his survivors. The rea-
sons given for the discontinuance of
insurance are that the individual as
sessment of 81 at the death of every
member has become burdensome, and
that the lodge does not care to place
itself under the supervision of the in.
surance commissioner.
The Grand Grove elected the fol-
lowing officers: G. B. Helm, of st.
Paul, noble grand arch; B. A. Wagner,
deputy grand arch; Fred Downes,
grand treasurer; G. A. Johnson, grand
secretary; Peter Thielen, grand mar
shall; c. Oehman, grand sentinel; A.

EASTMAN STARTS UNIQUE QUEST
He Seeks Red Man Who Never Was
Influenced by Europeanized Arts

Boston, Mass. = 81 am setting out
TO ind a truly primitive Indian-one
who has never been influenced by the
european arts and crafts of the white
man. When l find such an Indian,
which l expect to do, I shall submit
him to tests that will show the native
genius of the American Indian and
Will prove in the case of single indi-
vidual the progress of arts and crafts
as they are known to us now only by
the development of an entire race"
said DR.. Charles A. Eastman
The most interesting quest ever
made by a college professor, a quest
more appealing in its associations than
any hunt for strange animals or relics
OF long buried civilizations, has just
been begun by DR.. Charles A. Eastman
of Amherst, who has set out for the
Far Northwest to find an Indian who
still retains the simplicity and print
tive iewpoint of the tribesmen who
roamed the woods and fields before
the white man came to this continent
and to add further interest to this
SCdTCu LII. EdSCludu is ulIuScll nearly
a full blooded Sioux.
AS an authority on Indian religion,
art, social custom and folk lore, DR..
Eastman has already distinguished
himself as lecturer and author, but
his dream for many years has been to
experiment with a primitive Indian
and thereby prove that the individual
may be inspired by a simple system
of suggestions to work the entire
circle of racial art development.
Although DR.. Eastman has been
identified with educational institutions
for many years, he was born in Min
nesota and from the time he was 5
years of age until he was 10 years old
he lived in Manitoba, leaving there to
begin his education at Knox college.
Afterward he studied at Dartmouth
and took his medical course in Boston.
Meanwhile, however, he was devoting
much time to the art of the Indian and
the possibility of developing it.

Fire Impoverishes Farmer.

Duluth.-A forest fire swept the
buildings, crops and hay meadows of
Samuel Croft, one of the pioneer farm
ers on the north shore of Lake Super
ior, and the work of years is lost to
him in his declining years. He had
but recently completed a first-class
farmhouse. Even the wild berry crop,
usually an important item, is de-
stroyed. One of the most serious fea-
lures of the fires which are running
over this part of the state is that
thousands of acres of wild hay have
been burned.

oar, a whispered oath of dismay, the heavy breathing of toilers, the soft blowing of the mist-that was all; no other sound on the broad, still river,
 TruXton began to chafe under the strain. His uneasiness was increased by the certain conviction that before long they would be beyond the city, the walls of which were gradually slipping past.
 He considered their chances if be were to overturn the frail boat and strike out for shore in the darkness. This project ha gave up at once. He did not know the waters or the banks between which they glided. They were past the walls now and rowing less stealthlv Before long they would be in q position to speak aloud. It would be awkward for him.
 Suddenly the boat turned to the right and shot toward the unseen bank. They were perhaps half mile above the city wall. Truxton's mind was working like triphammer. He was recalling q certain nomad settlement north of the city. the quarters of fish ermen, poachers and horse traders. These people, he was not slow to sur mise, were undoubtedly hand in glove with MarlanX, if not so surely connect ed with the misguided committee of ten.
 He had little time to speculate on the attitude of the denizens of this un- wholesome place. The prov of the boat grated on the pebbly bank, and Peter Brutus leaped over the edge into the shallow water.
