PRINCESS BONES REMOVED.
Grave of Indian Chiefs Daughter at
GalesvilIe Changed.

Winona, Mimi, Juze 10.-The re-
mains of the Princess Marinuka, an
Indian maiden, who died in October,
1884, and was buried on the shore
of Lake Marinuka, at Galesville,
across the river from here, the lake
having been named after her, were
this week taken up and reinterred a
short distance away, commercial de-
velopment in the establishment of a
creamery near the old grave having
made it undesirable for tomb.
The removal of the remains was
witnessed by several of the promin,
ent citizens of Galesville. The pine
box in which the princess was bur-
led twenty-seven years ago was al
most entirely rotted away. The
skeleton was perfect.
The Princess Marinuka was the
daughter of Winneshiek and a
granddaughter of the great chief De-
corah. Her grave has been a place
often viewed by visitors to Gales
VILE.

The commencement season in De-

three weeks having. opened last
week with the high school COM
inencement, the Immaculate Concep-
ton Academy this week and Luther
College next week.
On Wednesday evening. the pre-
sentation of the class play by the
senior class of the high. school, at
tracted an audience which packed
the Grand opera house, and all who
we're there were well repaid for
their attendance, for the play, "a
Bachelors Romance was not only
exceedingly well cast, but the entire
conception and execution was far
above the ordinary. The only cri-
ticism that could be made is COM
mon fault with the inexperienced,
that with one exception the MEM
bers of the cast did not speak loud
enough to be heard throughout the
entire house. However, the play
was greatly enjoyed by everyone, and
the class and those who trained them
are to be congratulated upon the
splendid presentation of this pleas
ing comedy drama.
Thursday night the commence
ment exercises proper were held at
the opera house, large audience
being present. The program open

The commencement address by DR..
F. E. Bolton of the state university
was greatly enjoyed. He is man
of much ability, a deep thinker and
a good speaker. His ideas along
school lines, though somewhat ad-
vanced, are practical, and his ad-
dress contained much food for
thought. Supt. Richter presented
the members of the class, and Dr. H.
HI. Green president of the school
board, presented the diplomas to
them with few fitting remarks.
The grade pupils, completing the
grammar grades were also awarded

studio improvements.

Photographer Reynolds has had
his studio repapered and the wood
work revarnished all the way
through. which adds very much to
the attractiveness of this already
we'll lighted studio. Mr.. Reynolds
has recently added several new
scenic backgrounds to his studio,
painted by Sweet, Wallach & Co. Of
Chicago, and only last week Mr..
Reynolds purchased of the o. H.
Peck Co. of Minneapolis, two of the
latest improved and most rapid pho
tographic lenses. One of these is an
anastigmat lens, especially adapted
TO the making of extra fine group
pictures, and the other one is also
of the latest design and is made with
a diffusing attachment for fine por-
trait work.
Mr.. Reynolds has had nearly twen-
ty years of steady, every day prac-
tice and experience in the making
of photographs and with his present
complete equipment. the people may
confidently expect to get photos un-
excelled in any of the larger cities.
Mr.. Reynolds business has grown
and he has grown with his busi-
ness--until there is no better photo
grapher to be found. People who
appreciate the best in photos-als
a fair and square deal make no
mistake when they go to Reynolds
