While wading in the sand on the
beach, on the Mississippi, in front of
a summer camp belonging to her par
euts, Miss Mabel Miller was caught
in the current and before she could be
rescued went down the third time.
Three hours the body was raised from
the bottom of the river, but it could
not be resuscitated. She was 20 years
old. the daughter of MIR. and Mrs.
John Miller, Galena, and was a
popular girl in Galena society. The
drowning occurred in the afternoon,
and followed an experience in the
forenoon, in which she was rescued
from deep water, and in which her
life was saved by a life preserver
she wore.

From Washington, d. c., comes

This in spite of the fact that wines
are paying a heavily increased rate
of tariff under the "war tax" law.
And in spite of the further fact that
the tax on local beer is very much
increased. Those who think that
dryness produces wetness, or who
claim to think so, will please to
take notice of these figures. During
the last 10 months the decrease has
been more than $13, 100000. And
there is falling off in the consump-
tion of tobacco. The collection of
revenue on tobacco is about 500, 600
q month. If the weed were holding
its own the revenue should increase.

Subject: The Bumest Battle Ever Fought by White Men.

of the red devils, but again they were
too soon. Black Hawk was in that
wood, and while his company was
not large, it was brave. Before he
dispatched the peace emissaries, for
it was his purpose to have parley
and perhaps to effect settlement of
the troubles, he had drawn his braves
into battle line.
This act of treachery on the part
of the armed whites enraged the
Sacs, and as the company under
Major Stillman charged into the
wood, the Indians let out their
mightiest warhoop, fired volley and
set on the intruders. Then did the
whites show their valor. They
whirled and fled precipitately, never
stopping to look back. Those that
were mounted rode through the camp
they were occupying a few minutes
before, and did not stop for food or
water.
Those of the whites that did not
join in the charge on the dead Indian,
and his two living compatricts with
the white flags, but remained in
camp to get their dinner, were as
badly panic-stricken as were those
who were attacked from the wood.
Such as could, got on horses, never
waiting to adjust saddles. They
abandoned camp equipment, food
stores, guns, ammunition and almost
everything else thew possessed.
Those who ran from the "battle
field rode through camp, and never
stopped for feed and water. 1t was
one of the most precipitate and dis
graceful routes ever seen in this
world. And it did not end with the
limits of the camp. The towards
fled to their homes, such as could.
Some of them were never heard from
again and the conclusion is safe that
they are still running. They rode
through towns that lay to the south
VI the DdIIlC HSlu VI OllllLudu
run, and spread terror and fear
Throughout the entire section.
In his autobiography Black Hawk
related that he had with him at the
time he was charged by Stillman's
company, only about 35 men, and
some of them had no guns. The only
Indian killed was the unhappy fell
low who bore the white flag.
There were IL whites killed and a
number wounded. With odds of
about ten to one, in their favor, the
whites did not make very good
showing. Yet there are plenty of
stories like this, not alone of treach-
cry to the red men, but of cowardice
on the part of the whites.
After this victory" Black Hawk
moved on north, and we will tel,
about that next time, perhaps.
