REST ROOM TAG DAY.
Committee Decides Upon Sept. 16 for
Raising Funds.

The committee in charge of the Brat
tleboro rest room has decided upon
Saturday, Sept. 1G, as the date of the
annual tag day for the purpose of rails
ing funds to maintain the institution
Various other methods of securing the
necessary money have been discussed
and tried, but nothing has yet been
found that seems so successful as the
tag day idea. The. gross running cx-
pensos of the rest room approximate
$1,000 a year. The board of trade con.
tributes $50 n month regularly, leaving
between 500 and $500 to be raised in
other ways. The room has become a
valuable, in fact almost indispensable,
adjunct to the business section of the
town, and those who assume the bur
den of maintaining it deserve generous
support.

| Various authors have devoted much
space to the period in the history of
the tri-cities and vicinity immediate
| ly following the Black Hawk war and
hundreds Of interesting anecdotes are
| told of the events that accompanied
| the return of Chief Black Hawk to his
people after being incarcerated in a.
federal prison in the east. One of the
most Interesting Of these, however, is
| that which tells of the old chiefs &C
| ton at the conference between the
Indians and Major Garland and other
officers IN Rock Island
Black Hawk and the other Indian
braves who had been captured and
held prisoners IN the east were re3eas-
ed upon Chief KeoAnks promise to
keep them of the warpath. They
Travelled through many Of the larger
cities and were awe struck by theSsfze,
Of the buildings and the progress of
fertilization which they encountered.
Shortly after their arrival in Rock
Island a council was held at which
keokuk and other chiefs, fncfuIing
Black Hawk and HIS late prison com
panfons, assembled Major Garland
was In charge OF the conference. and
during the conversation he recalled to
Black Hawk that the terms of the
treaty demanded that no band should
be assembled again by the Indians I'M
der the leadership of any of the hos
tile chiefs who had participated in the
late war
At this announcement Black Hawk
jumped to his feet and declared that
he was an old man and would not
obey; that he would not be governed
oy any man. keokuk spoke a few
words to him and also to Major Gar
land, qu1etng the officers fears that
the old chief would again take the
Warpath. and in a few moments Black
Hawk asked that "a black line be
drawn through his words and that
they be stricken from the memory"
Inc pipe of peace was then passed
and IN few moments Black Hawk re-
tired to his lodge in silence.
