BOSTON GIRLS FORM
UNION TO GET REFORMS

BOSTON. Mass. Mar 9.-The
housemaids Of Boston have formed
a union to bring about the following
results:
Better treatment by their employ
ers regular family meals; one az
ternoon off week and two Sunday
afternoon off a month; pay that will
enable the girls to save something:
a word of appreciation now and then:
the establishment of a housemaids'
home.
1t is principally to do away with
the employment agency shark that
the union has been formed. An
agency of their own, the girls figure,
will save them a. great deal.

The passing of Red Cloud drew
forth in the Paris Figaro an elo-
quent tribute of commemoration from
M. Miguel Zamacois, the well known
poet and dramatist, who writes:
with Red Cloud more than man
disappears-it is whole history, a
literature, an ideal and phase OIL

ence has replaced the fight for chiv-
alrous ideas. and with Red Cloud is
buried the last Polish patriot of the
Mississippi, the last Richard Couer de

FOR INVENTIVE FIVE YEARS
Left keokuk In 1876 and Has Devoted
Her Life to Teaching the

In the capitol of South Dakota, one
of the pictures in the corridor is that

the keokuk woman who has spent the
best portion Of her life as a mission.
airy among the Indians and she was
honored by the Historical Society OF
the northern state by the placing OF
the picture in he capitol building.
Miss Collins was a native of Keokuk
and member of the Congregations
church. She went out among the
Sioux Indians in 1876 as missionary
under the auspices of the American
board and has done world of good
in spiritual way among the Indians
of the northwest
The Daily Dakotan Of Pierre in a
recent issue, says:
We were in error in stating yester-
day that the subjects for all the lun-
cites in the corridor of the capitol
were selected by the historical society
A number were the choice of others.

learn that tn e picture at the right of

horn Butte. Running Antelope was
the chief of the village, but the post
office established there in later years
was named Little Eagle for the Indian
policeman from the village who was
killed at the Sitting Bull fight. His
house, of logs with frame gables
shows in the background a little to
the left of the center of the picture.
Miss Collins lived in this house for
twenty-five years, most of the time
alone. She came to the mission In
Peoria Bottom In 1876 and In 1885
moved to Grand river among the wild
Indians OF Sitting Bulls band. At her
retirement from active missionary
work in the field, two years ago, she
left those Indians in probably the
best condition of those In any region
of similar extent on any of the Sioux
reservations
1t is very gratifying to her many
friends to, have her great work com
memorated in this way.

which Is more than can be said of
Chicago or any other city where the
party has met in late years.
Indiana democratic leaders are said
to take the view that there will be
such a conflict between Governor Har-
mon Of Ohio and Governor Wilson of
New Jersey that the nomination Of a
less prominent candidate for president
will be probable, and In that event
the party may turn to the hoosier
state for a leader. Governor Marshall
is credited with having placed the
democratic party IN Indiana on its
feet. He is the first democrat to
carry the state in nearly twenty years.

Of the occasion to trot across the
grass on the old maids property and
attack her cat and cause her to suffer
various painful emotions But for
that sty Miss Spriggs would have

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out

a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week II was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200, 900, 900 bushels OF
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
Increase Of about l0OG00,000 over the
previous year. and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con
frmation Of this news is to hand and
the cry still Is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 400 900 or 5000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
