Chippewa Who Named Leech Lake
in Bad Shape at Walker.

Chief Wah-bum-un-nee of the
Chippewa tribe of Ottertail Indians,
now living at Walker, and the one
Indian who has the distinction of
giving Leech Lake it's name, has
been rendered deaf and dumb by a
stroke of paralysis. He is one of the
Oldest braves on the Leech lake reser-
walton. Long before the government
surveyors invaded Northern Mime
sofa, Leech lake had its name.
Years ago while standing on the
shore of the lake at Ottertail point,
the chief saw a huge leech in the
water. Calling to his tribesmen he
pointed ont the leech and said in
Chippewa: "Big leech in the lake. .
The Indians called it by this name
long before it was Interpreted into
English language and put on the map
as Leech lake. Even among his own
tribesmen Chief Wah-bum-un-nee is
pointed out as the Indian who gave
Leech lake its name.

NOBODY WAS BEING KILLED

Taking parrots into the house is

family with cage arrived from a

wanted a suite of rooms merely for
the day, as they were leaving for
home at night, Beau Brummel Hill,

with the day, said he thought Polly

Polly's cage was hung up in a

went out shopping. An hour or so

PRoD1GAL CAREER IS ENDED
Old John Apologize, Whose Life Was
Spectacular, Is In Jail, as Vag.

After having squandered several
fortunes, John Apologize, originator
and builder of what is now known
as Young's million-dollar pier, in At
lantic City, is serving sentence for
vagrancy in the Los Angeles county
jail, California. The old man is
now eighty-seven years old, and un-
less some of his relatives or the
friends he knew in the paimy days
come to his assistance he will prob
ably end somewhat spectacular
career behind the prison bars.
The brief news dispatch announc-
ing that old Apologize has been SEN
fenced to Jail, destitute, has recalled
the man to memory of many Phila-
delphians. In the early nineties his
probabilities, both here and in New
York city, caused a sensation. He
was the first of the 'Stintype" pho
tographers, and while he was in
business he was said to have made
as much as $4,000 q year, his daily
sittings at times passing the 800
mark and netting him nearly 81 900
He was also one of the largest of the
early advertisers, his signs and other
odd devices being erected all over
the city and along the greater por-
ton of the river front.-Philadel-

The Indians Vision

More or less wonderful accounts
have from time to time been given
of the powers of vision possessed by
savage races. During q British an
5thropological expedition to Torres
straits the visual faculty of the ma
tives was carefully tested, and from
these tests the conclusion was
reached that the excellence of vision
shown by the savages has psyche
logical origin; that lis to say. 1T
arises from knowing what to look
for. When q civilized man ac-
.quires familiarity with the environ
ment he. can see as far as they can.
Thus the power Of an Indian to tell
the sex of deer at such q distance
that distinguishing features like
antlers were invisible was found to
rest upon his knowledge Of the PEE
culiar gait of the male deer.

found in Buenos Ayres. Among the
thousands of automobiles seen there
are rarely any but the most expen-
ssive French makes, and even the

the best quality. Costly furs are

BICYCLE MASS MEETING.
Riders to Assemble at City Hall To-
night to Formulate Demands to
Council.
WANT USE OF CERTAIN WALKS

Aroused by the suspicion that at
next Monday evenings council meet
ing an ordinance will be introduced
fOrbidding bicycles to be used on the
sidewalks of the city at any time
during the day, bicycle owners and
riders, complying with a suggestion
made by the Daily Pioneer, will hold
mass meeting in the council cham
bers this evening at 8 o'clock for the
purpose of framing a resolution of
some sort to be presented to the coun-
Gil Monday.
While only two riders of bicycles
have so far been fined for breaking
the ordinance which forbids the rid
ing of bicycles on sidewalks, which
ordinance=has been amended by the
council to permit mill employees to
ride between the working hours on
back streets, there are four others
under arrest, pending action of the
council. ~. ~
It is probable that the resolution
to be adopted by the mass meeting
this evening, will be for an ordin-
ance providing that all bicycle rid
ers shall be required to purchase a
license, tag with number, from
the city clerk; that they will at all
times be required to run at moderate
speed; that they will at all times be
under the supervision of the police;
and hat certain down town streets
be excepted from those on which
they may ride, but will provide how
ever that they may ride upon such
other street sidewalks as they wish.
g. Nearly every bicycle owner in the
city has announced his intention of
being present at the meeting this
evening, which has been called by
mill employees. 1-.-..

Much Depends on Maine.

1t is generally admitted by friends
of prohibition in and outside of the
state, that great deal depends upon
the outcome of the coming election.
In fact, it is believed that the result
of the vote will be of the most vital
influence upon the future of the pro-
hibition movement.
If the majority of the voters in
Maine decide by their vote that con-
stitutional prohibition, after test
Of q years, was found by them un-
would mean a severe blow to the
hopes of the friends of prohibition,
who, for years, have been working,
inspired by the thought that some
day all nations would combine in
suppressing the liquor traffic.
Bitter Campaign Now on.
The campaign now in progress in
this state, and which will continue
for another month, until the last vote
shall have been cast at the coming
election, began practically immedi-
ately after the election in September
of last year, when it became certain,
that a Democratic legislature had
been elected, believed to be pledged
to vote for a re-submissiOn of the
prohibition clause of the constitu-
ton.
People outside of this state can
not imagine how bitter and desperate
is the fight between the prohibition
and the anti-prohibition factions in
this state. The campaign was begun
by the prohibitionists with a rush
and steadily increased in vigo1
and bitterness and there is every
reason to believe that the remaining
month will witness a campaign in
this state, unparalleled in fierceness
in the history of political fights. -.
Put Curse on Their Head.
So far the prohibitionists have
been the aggressors. AS early as
October Is of last year the Maine
Sunday School association adopted
by unanimous vote a resolution de-
claring, "That any person who votes

To Be Laid in Three Strips.

AS the Bemidji streets are So feet
wide, the pavement will be laid in
three strips, the side strips to be 10
feet wide and the middle one 16,
while every rs feet a tar joint will be
placed. This is taken as precau-
ton against cracks and breaks, and
at the same time keeps the street
from being entirely blocked.
According to Mr.. Kennedy the con-
struction company expects that the
eleven blocks of paving will have
been completed by the middle of
October, and that when the full crew
is put to work at least block week
will be paved.
