ANNIVERSARY OF A MASSACRE

Huron Huronite: Over at New Ulm,
Minnesota. this week an anniversary
of the defense of a frontier settlement
and the eliminating massacre OF men,
women and children by Sioux Indians,
The attack on New Ulm was made 90
years ago today and for four days the
defenders were overwhelmed and scenes
of horror ensIed as the savages tortur
ed and slaughtered their helpless
victims.
The Santee band of the Sioux nation
was directly concerned in the bloody
uprising, but the effect OF the outbreak
extended TO the bands then occupying
Dakota territory and general Indians
war ensued.
A few settlers along the Missouri,
Sioux and Jim rivers either lett the
territory or rallied at Yankto.s,aw here
a fort was constructed and garrisoned

territory and toe governor (William
.Jayne) was there, but he did not remain
long. He crossed the Missouri into Ne
braska and made his way to Sioux City
and governed" the territory from that
point until safety was restored.
But for the friendly attitude Of the
Yankton band OF Sioux, on their reser-
vaSion in Charles Mix county, the
Yankton garrison would have had
plenty Of fighting. But the trouble
finally passed that point and the real
Indian war that ravaged the plains OF
Dakota was transferred to the western
part Of the territory and the adjoining
territory.
The New Ulm massacre depopulated
Dakota territory and some time elaps-
ed before the settlers returned.
The people of New Ulm are observing
the anniversary week with feasting and
speech making, and music, every white
survivor Of the tragedy being present,
Thirty descendants OF Little Grow,
head chief of the marauding Indians OF
so years ago, are also there.

themselves among the trees of the
wide avenues and settled down for a
rest. The serenity, the dignity, the
society of Washington have appealed
to a number of those people of wealth
and social prominence in New York,
where the frenzy OF things pals, and
these have established homes isr the
shadow of the capitol dome. Even
Boston has paid her toll in the very
wealthy that have turned their back
upon their native cities and come to
live In Washington; for there are the
Larz Andersons, the William F. Board
mans, the Owen SCOTS, the Weeks,
who hail from the land of the sacred
cod. All corners of the nation are SO
represented and still they come.
These people are not Of the class
of the millionaire of our youth who.
with a fortune represented in seven
figures, was the Croesus of all our
end of the world They are the many
times-a-millionaire Of the twentieth
century Among these people a man
with four or five millions is not rich.
The fortunes of the people who are
revolutionizing the society Of the ma

of ten million dollars to a maximum
Of one hundred million dollars. There
are numbers Of fortunes among them
that approach the latter fgure-such
men as Perry Belmont, the Edison
Bradleys. the Thomas F. Washes.
The people and all their class are
new to Washington. They are an in
novation OF the last five years.
Now the tendency IL growing so
pronounced as to attract national at
tention. That center of wealth Of the
nation, Fifth avenue, is coming to
realize that she has rival in Con-
necttcut avenue. The people Of Gin
cinnati and Chicago are lifting their
voices in protest against the siren
that is alluring away the holders Of
their money bags, The world knows
that the United States Is the nation
OF greatest resource and therefore of
the greatest number of rapidly in
creasing fortunes. If the owners of
those fortunes concentrate in Wash
ington. soon that city will be acknowl-
edged as the richest capital in the
world. That time seems at hand.
With the advent OF the great for
tune In Washington there appears a
new era In entertainment. The last

SAFEGUARDING INVESTMENTS.

Last week there was held in New
York the first annual convention of
the Investment Bankers Association
one of the chief objects of which was
to devise ways and means of discour-
aging the sale of wildcat securities and
protecting the banks, trust companies
and investors generally from imposi-
ton by dealers in such securities, by
a fair interchange of information and
a greater publicity concerning shares
and bonds offered for investment.
The Investment Bankers Association
asserts that in protecting their own
members from the risks and imposi-
tions of worthless or questionable
stocks and bonds offered by promot-
ers, and presented by investors as col
lateral for loans, it will be rendering
valuable service to the general pub
lie and especially the many who have
money for investment in securities,
who have not the opportunities for
making careful investigation before
yielding to the temptation to purchase
stocks and bonds that are plausibly
promoted.-Nashville Democrat.

DENMARK WOMEN
MAY BE SOLDIERS

Copenhagen, Dec. 11.-Women of
Denmark may demand that they be
enrolled for military service as a
sequel to their expected victory in the
struggle for suffrage. Mrs. Emma
Cad, the suffragist, argues that Dan
ish girls should be trained for nursing
and commissariat work; that the
women should demand this as the fair
thing to do in exchange for the voting
privilege, since men long have been
compelled to give military service for
the rights they enjoyed.
Mrs. Cad declares trained women
could do duty as nurses and as COM
missary officials much more efficiently
than the work now is being done, ana
that it would train girls for house
hold duties.

WARNS WILSON OF THREE PIT
FALL stT

Perhaps the most serious threat to
success in choosing the new cabinet
lies in the possibility that MI. Wilson
may select his advisers from the diff
ferent wings of the Democratic party,
with a view to harmonizing them.
This would probably mean the 'selec4
ton of Mr.. Bryan himself for a lead
ing place, and throwing of several
other portfolios to that branch of the
party. The so-called conservatite
group would lay claim no doubt to the
treasury and to several other imp0f
tant places, while various factions
would have to be consulted and posts
definitely distributed among them
One consequence would be a cabines
always at war within itself, or, at an
events, always threatened with war.
Another ground for fear is the choice
of the cabinet on purely sectional
basis. 1t is already clear that the
South win not be satisfied unless it
receives the lions share of places
