The Indians Idea of the Soul.

"Noganaw is in the heart of every
man, woman and child. 1t often
comes forth when one is asleep, and
wanders around, but it remains in
it's abiding place while one is awake:
1t goes in the form OF the person in
whose heart it dwells. It's move
ment is swift and silent.
1T leaves the heart when man is
at the point of death. 1t goes to the
lodge of Tcipayaposw in the spirit
land. If it returns without delay,
the man will live; but if it tarries,
the man will die. 1t returns after
the man is dead and fingers four
days about the old home. Then it
goes to tile spirit world to stay for
good.
"On the way it meets manitou
that opens the top of it's skull and
takes out a pinch of brain. Prom

DUMB ANIMALS ARE MUTILATED
Albert Bessette, Arrested for Drunk
enness, Confesses to Revolving
Deeds Practiced by Him.

Albert Bessette has been adjudged
insane and since Saturday has been
detained in the county Jail waiting
instructions from the board of con-
troll, which will of course order him
sent to the hospital for insane at
Clarinda. Thursday Bessette was ar
rested for drunkenness, but incidents
followed that connected him with
some diabolcal deeds that in the
course of a few hours were confessed
by him.
The fore part of the week it was
discovered that the work horses be-
longing to Daniel Morgan had been
horribly mutilated by the insertion
of something into the body that tore
the internal organs and lacerated the
insides. The revolving deeds had the
effect of making two of the three
horses bleed to death. A COW and
q. horse belonging to Mrs. Snyder
were likewise maltreated and it would
have been humane to have killed
them on discovery Of their condition.
While authorities were searching for
the perpetrator of such brutal deeds
Bessette was arrested for drunken
ness. Blood on his clothes and dirt
on his shoes led to detection and a
confession, as stated, followed. Satur-
day he was taken before the commits
sion and adjudged insane. Bessette
has relatives in South Dakota, but he
came here from Oklahoma, where il
has been ascertained he was twice an
inmate of the asylum at Norman. He
is about 30 years old and since CON-
ing to Carroll about month ago was
employed by the Northwestern as a
laborer shoveling snow and doing odd
jobs in the local yards. Not being a
citizen of the county, and presumably
not of the state, he will have to be
cared for by the board Of control, and
in order to have the state and not the
county pay the expenses OF his stay
in the asylum, he was detained in
Jail till the board gave instructions
for his disposal 1t seems that he did
the revolving mischief on the poor
dumb animals with a wooden handle
from which the spade had been brok-

RECEIVE NEWS BY WIRELESS.
Operators Wireless School to be
EstabIihed at Nevada, Iowa,
in Near Future.

j. B. Daily, E. E., a practical wire
less constructor, operator and invent
or and O. ]. Benjamin, one of the
publishers of the Journal, will, in the
near future, erect a 25O-foot wireless
station or aerial in this city This sta,
ton will be modern in every particu-
lar, with all the latest appliances and
inventions and will be one of the best
long distance aerials in the state The
instruments are already on hand that
will receive messages from 1000 miles
distance and with very little addi-
tional construction, which will soon
be installed messages can be sent
this distance. The necessary connec-
lions will be made with the Journal
office and the wireless station will
eventually come into use in the gath
ering of news for the Journal.
In connection with this, school to
be known as the Operators School OF
Wireless Telegraphy, is soon to be
opened in this city with J. B. Daily
in charge. No definite arrangements
haye been made as to the location of
the school as yet and while it is like
ly that an uptown classroom will be
secured, it is probable that quarters
may be obtained at Oak Park acad-
envy.
Mr.. Daily, who has been in prac-
teal experimental work along the
lines of wireless telegraphy and wire
less telephone for several years, is
very proficient. Since coming to Ne
vada he has been associated with Dr..
E. A. Warner, of the Iowa sanitarium,
and they have had instruments in
operation for some time.
A couple of aerials or wireless sta.
lions will be established for the use
of the students, the other one prob
ably west of the Oak Park academy
south of this city. Mr.. Daily has four
complete sets of instruments of the
most approved type and is well quail
fed to give instruction along this line.
The plan is to give a course of six
weeks instruction along the rudimen-
tary lines and fit the pupil to assem-
BILE and handle the instruments as
we'll as to send and receive messages.
This will be the first school of this
kind to be established in the west Al
ready a class of a dozen or more has
been enrolled and will be ready to
take up the work as soon as the ap-
paratus is ready, which may be de-
layed few days awaiting material,
which it was necessary to order from
the east.
While working with the wireless
telegraphy, Mr.. Daily is continuing
his experiments with the wireless ,tele-
phone and hopes to be able to con-
struct one that will be sufficiently
practical to be of commercial value

The Sac and Fox Indians in Iowa.

"The Sauks had come from the
northeast, somewhere south of the
sea. They were at peace with the
Foxes on the north. After long years
there came to be much going to and
fro between the two people-Sauks
to the Foxes and the Foxes to the
Sauks. In time the two peoples be.
gan to get wives from each other;
and since the language was SO nearly
alike, it was easy for them to make
an alliance.
"This kept on until the Sauks be-
gan to have trouble with the white
man over the possession of the Rock
River country. The Foxes as a ma
ton took no part in the dispute. They
moved across the Mississippi to
country which they claimed as a
hunting ground Here they began to
dwell when the Sauks went to war
with the white man and the Indian
nations that helped him. And here,
when the war was over, came the
Sauks, who found an asylum and a
place of refuge. Both peoples lived
in a way like one nation, but they
had different chiefs and different vii
lagos. This continued so till they
went to Kansas; and while there,
they began to grow wider apart.
Finally the Foxes we're not satisfied
with the way the Sauks were trying
to control matters of common inter-
est and SO went back to Iowa. >
