A FINE SILVER OFFERING. ;

Brtton The Rev. j S. Butt,
pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Britton for over a
quarter of a century, recently
resigned his pastorate to seek a
new field of labor. Recently
Mr.. and Mrs. Butt celebrated

Lost in the Bull Rushes.

Quite a little excitement was
caused at Buffalo lake Wednesa
day night when VIM. Morris a
we'll known old gentleman of Sis
seton, who had come out to
camp with his son and others,
became lost. 1t seems that
while the rest of the party we're
hunting, Mr.. Morris de cided to
try it himself, and taking a gun
started out. When his son re-
turned and discovered his alb
sence, search was instituted, and
when he could not be found the
countryside was notified and re.
sponded to the call; Sisseton
sending searchers by the score.
The Twin Cities We're wired to
send bloodhounds, and just when
the excitement was at it's high.
est the old gentleman appeared,
coming across the lake in a boat
he had found. He had been out
all night and was about exhaust
ed. Mr.. Morris is an old man
and has suffered for number
of years with rheumatism, and
it is to be hoped that his experi-
ence of the other night will have
no ill etfects.-I4ake City Journ-

Webster Chief Will Recover.

Webster-Chief of Polio e
Frank Gruby, who was shot 81
week ago by an unknown man
whom he was endeavoring to
arrest is doing as we'll as could
be expected. The bullet from
a "A calibre Colts automatic en-
tered the thigh, breaking the
thigh bone. For several DAYS
it looked as though the limb
would have to be amputated as
there was no apparent life there,
but indications now are that the
limb can be saved.
A few years ago Chief Gruby
had similar experience, only
that time he got in the success
full shot and the other fellow, a
desperate character with long
criminal career, was buried a
few days later.
No trace has vet been found
of the man who shot the chief,
although several posses secured
the country for two days in an
effort to locate the man.

Electric Lights at Summit

The municipal electric light
plant sent its first spark over
the wires Saturday night. From
one reason OF another the start
ing of the plant has been delay
ed but at last all the multitudin-
Gus details which go to make up
a modern lighting plant, were
properly assembled and Summit
got it's long promised light. For
tunat tely there wasn't hitch in
the operation of the apparatus.
In the power house the engine
carried it's load as steady as a
clock, not a bearing heated and
every connection was perfect.

OUR INDIAN POPULATION.

"A much lower rate of growth
for the Indian population than
the white; an increasing admix-
ture of white blood; decreasing
vitality of full-blood Indians, in
dicating a tendency to disappear
altogether; increasing atten-
dance at school and decreasing
llllteracy; an increase in the per-
centage of the self-supporting: a
decrease in the number of res
ervation Indians. These are
some of the salient facts set forth
in the special report on the In
dian population of the United
States.
Indian population in the Unit
ed States, not including Alaska,
in 1910 was 265, ,6s3 and of this
Is per cent OF it was in Oklaho-
ma. In the group of states in
cluding Oklahoma, South Dakota
Arizona, New Mexico and Cali
fornla go per cent of all the
tribes are to be found.
Although the Indian popula-
tion showed "a gain of seven per
cent over the 1900 census. the
TACT still remains that the only
really native Americans com
prise less than three tenths of
one per cent of the total popula-
ton of the country. All the
rest OF US are foreigners.
Indians are thickest in popu-
lation in Oklahoma, next in
Arizona and third in South Da.
kota. There are 2SO different
tribes. but the five big ones are
the Cherokee, the Navajo, the
Chippewa, the Choctaw and the
Teton Sioux.

Governors Promise Aid.

Governor Hanna of North Da-

Minnesota and Governor Byrne
OF South Dakota have all promis-
ed the joint committee of Trav-
erse, Big Stone, Roberts and
Rlchland counties to lend their
aid in every possible way in the
furlherance of the plan to re-
claim the swamp land along the
Bois de Sioux upon which the
two Minnesota, the one North
Dakota and the one South Dalo-
TIA counties border. United ac
tlon by the residents of the four
counties is necessary to push
through the drainage project,
which will reclaim much valuable
farming land.

MAY

Prospects Very Blight for
Duluth Line.

G. w. Morrow, vice president
of the proposed Duluth, Huron &
Southern Railroad, was in the city
Tuesday afternoon, and met good
representation of the Sisseton busi-
ness men at the Commercial Club
rooms at one o clock, and stated
the compary's proposition to Sisse-
ton. Owing to the hills west of
here it will be rather expensive to
come directly into Sisseton, and to
cover this extra expense the COM
pany has asked the city to raise
SIS, 900 to purchase right of wavs
i'll the city. The proposition was
taken under consideration and a
meeting called for the evening,
but as Mr.. Morrow had an engage
ment at Wahpeton, he was unable
to attend
The evening meeting was very
we'll represented, and every one
present was enthusiastic over the
road and we fell sure that the S25, :
600 can easily be raised.
The road when completed will
run from Huron, S. ID to Duluth,
MINI and will be a main line
With these Duluth connections the
freight rate OH fuel and grain will
be cheaper, and the farmers will be
able to market their grain there,
where the prices of wheat are al
ways several cents higher than
Minneapolis Taking the cheaper
freight rates and the higher price
OF grain, combined, will mean a
saving of thousands of dollars in a
year.
The company will take notes
payable i'll three years, or before,
if the road is completed from Wau.

the notes are returned to the max

THE POOR MERICANS.

Even among Texans, who best
know their Mexican neighbors,
piSy rather than hatred is the
feeling. Outside of a small upper
circle in a few of the cities,
Mexico has never been civilized.
Perhaps no country has been so
wantonly despoiled, so cunning
ly exploited. The bandits now
raiding the Rio Grande frontier
are only misguided poems
for centuries = running amuck,
drunk with new dreams of liber-
ty, crazy to taste that liberty"
they have never known.
Spanish and Indian blood are
mingled in most Mexicans. but
in spite of that the people are
normally childlilse, goverrable
and amiable. For centuries their
childisAness has been imposed
upon, their tractability deceived
and their amiability abused.
Cheated and tyrannized over, it
is not staange that they become
suspicious and fnrtive. De-
frauded of their rights, it is not
wonderful that they accept re-
volution as the only form of self
assertion.
Mexico is yet child among
nations, with all the cruelty of
childhood and all of the refrac-
tory, unthipking az undisciplin
ed yagaries of neglected youth.
Its masses have little of the
sternly stole qualities of the
North American Indian, little of
| his predatory instincts, little of
his ineradicable hatreds. The

are pastoral rather than war
like. He has developed som of
/ the cunning of all hunted crea-
lures. but yet he retains much
of the guileless credulity of a
child. Illiterate, neglected, poor
and made hopeless by profitable
drudgery. it is not surprising
that the Mexican peon welcomes
revolution as an inviting avenue
to freedom and light.
What Mexico needs is "to be
shown. A just government,
the spread of education, the
rights of citizens and freeholders
would quickly reiuvcnate and in
spirit a peopl e that has never
had a chance to understand. =
