fered prayer The Oriole Ladies'
chorus sang, after which Mrs. X. T.
Anderson told The Story of Fort
Armstrong" She referred to the fact
that it was only 100 years ago that
the present prosperous and populous
state Of Illinois was a savage\wilder-
ness, with few settlements and a
white population throughout the state
of about 900 souls, while the Indians
numbered from 10000 to 10000, and
that up to the coming Of the first
white settlers So years ago the only
inhabitants of this vicinity were Chief
Black Hawk and his people. the Sac
and Fox tribes. For at least $50 years
prior to the opening of the story of
Fort Armstrong the Indians lived in
this vicinity and had grown into a
powerful nation of nearly 5000.
The speaker declared that the prin-
cipal reason for Black Hawks hostil-
ity TO this country was treaty. which
he always claimed he was not asked
to sign, made in 1904 by William Hen
ry Harrison, afterward president Of
the United States and then governor
and superintendent of Indian affairs
in Indiana territory and the district
Of Louisiana, with certain chiefs of
the Sac and Fox tribes at ST. Louis.

Was Done q Week Ago.

Leniency will be asked for Leo

facing the charge of burglary and lar
ceny OF the residence at 1884 Tween
tieth street two weeks ago. He was
arraigned In police court today and
the case continued for five days
Detective Tom Cox, OF whom the boy

plight Spears finds himself in now.
Spears is a bright lad, who has had
two years instruction in the 0ttum-
wa high school and also four months
training in a business college He has
taken up stenography and typewrit-
ing.
Spears worked for the Morrell pack
ing company in Ottumwa until April
Is, when work became slack and he
was laid off. He had been employed
as timeksper at the plant. Later he
went to work in a hotel in Ottumwa,
where he met Fletcher. Fletcher
planned the career OF burglars for the
two. They went to Davenport.
At the library in that city they look
ed in Rock Island papers and secured
the address on Twentieth street OF

days. They planned to burglarize his
house, but made a mistake in the ad-
dress and entered the residence occu-
pied by Mrs. Bertha D. Hoffman. Miss

of the jewelry after they had secured
it. They kept away from pawnshops

United States Government Has Offer for

An application to buy all of the bark

one of the national forests in the south
ern Appalachians has been received by
officers in charge, who say that the bark
will be used by the mountaineers to make
sweet birch oil, a substitute for oil of
wintergreen Because of the higher price
of birch oil and oil of wintergreen, a
synthetic oil is widely used in their
stead. The rise in price of salicylic acid,
which is the base OF the synthetic oil,
is reported to have increased the demand
for the birch oil manufactured in this
country. The oil is largely used for
medical purposes and for favoring, and a
good demand is said to exist Socalled
rheumatism cures in particular contain
comparatively large amounts.
Sweet birch oil has been made in this
country for many years and is obtained
from the wood and bark of the black
birch. The oil is product of steam dis

twigs, bark and young sprouts OF the
birch, the entire tree is sometimes used.
More picturesque, but not very effec-
tive, it is said, are the methods en-
ployed by the southern mountaineers. \
rough camp and crude distillery are
erected near supply of birch. Accord
! ing to persons who have seen both kinds,

times employed in the same locality for

is anything which will protect the work

! The bark is peeled from the tree and
the rough outer portion is scraped off.
1t is then broken into small bits and
put into the still with water enough TO
cook it. A fire is started and the result
ing steam is led through a pipe and fin
ally condensed. The heavy oil gathers IN
a receptacle while the water runs off.
Three or four men compose the usual
crew. One OF these spends all OF his
time at the still, while the others gain
er and prepare the bark.
About % bushels of bark are used for
every run and it is said that this amount
yields approximately four pounds OF oil.
Three or four runs a week can he made.
The method has been in use for many
years, say the officials, and most of the
accessible birch in the valleys has been
cut Each year the oil makers have TO
go farther back in the mountains. Very
often the stills are located in isolated
places which can be reached only on foot
and all of the materials for the plant
and camp are carried in on the back of
the mountaineers.
It is asserted that manufacturers and
dealers are apt to be suspicious of the !

because of the ease with which it can be |
