THE INDIANS OF THIS VI
CINITY FIFTY YEARS AGO
BY MISS MARY LUNGER

We seldom think of how short a
time has elapsed since the Indians
roamed about in their savage state.
Only half century ago, the Indians
might be seen on the war path, COM
ing along the old Indian tail from
Ell Paso, along the South Fork and
then down to Lake St. Croix, hitting
the lake at Glenmont. The Chippewa
tribe lived in this locality, and it
NAV be remembered by some of the
older settlers of River Falls, that
thew used to meet and hold their
councils on the Lone Mound, on what
is now the Allen farm just south
west of town. Many Indian weapons
have been found along the Kinni-
ckinnic and the Rocky Branch. The
cave down by the old lime kiln is
supposed to have been used by the
Indians also, and many Indian arrow
heads have been found there.
When first people began to come
to this locality to settle, the monu-
ment in Kinnickinnic was used as
land mark. Some of our early set
tiers were tempted here by the de-
sire to see this great sand rock over
40 feet in height, that they had
heard the Indians tell so much
about. Many Of our towns and rivers
were named by the Indians them
selve, or by the whites in honor OF
them. Our Kinnickinnic river was
named for plant that grew along
it's bank. This plant was used for
medicine, but was more popular
among the Indians for smoking.
Chippewa Falls was named in honor
Of the same tribe that lived here.
The Wisconsin river as well as the
state of Wisconsin was named by the
Indians, and was formally pronounc-
cd Ooeskonsin, the word means wild,
rushing water. Mime is an Indian
word meaning water and sofa is, al
so an Indian word meaning blue, so
that tn e combination, Minnesota,
means sky blue waters. Through
Longfellows poem Of Hiawatha, we
are all probably acquainted with the
story of Minnehaha, laughing water,
and it was for her that the Minneha-
ha falls in Minneapolis were named.
An interesting story is told in re-
gard to naming the village of Maid
en- Rock. 1t is said that many years
ago, a beautiful Indian girl might
be seen riding over the prairies on
her pony in this very locality. This
girl was an Indian princess, very
much beloved among her tribe and
those neighboring, partly because
her father was chief of the Chippe-
was. This princess was much en-

SELF, PELF, AND COMPANY"


How little the average person
realizes the wonderful change that
has come about in the last few years
in the occurrence of contagious d.
seases," said a promi 1ent upstate
physician while he was in a remini-
scent mood.
why, when I started practice,
about twenty years ago, in the town
| now live in, used to call on as
many as fifteen to twenty typhoid
cases in a single day. Now don't
see that many in the entire year.
The cases simply do not exist in
any numbers any more.
The changed conditions in our
town were brought about by the in
stallation of suitable filter plant
for our water system. Incidentally,
it is a significant fact that the in
stallation CT the filter was secured
by the lnsistent agitation of one of
the local physicians. The public
wasn't particularly interested in the
effort being made by the doctor to
work out their salvation. Indeed,
| don't believe that anybody, then
or since, ever showed any apprecia-
ton whatever of the spirit which
animated him, or of gratitude for
the saving of lives which he &C.
complished. If he had merely been
selfish, be could have gone on for
years collecting hundreds of dol
lars annually for visiting typhoid

We'd and longed for by many of the
braves who were not brave enough
to ask for her. She cared nothing
for this popularity, but wished only
to live simple life with nature as
her sole companion. One day when
she was out galloping over the prai-
ries she met a young chief from
hostile tribe. He was greatly charm
ed by her beauty, and she admired
him for his stature and the number
of various colored feathers he wore.
After that many visits to the old
Chippewa chief were made by the
young chief, always seeking friend
ship between the two tribes, in order
to make possible his marriage to the
young princess.
But at this time terrible plague
broke out in the upper Mississippi
region. The plague spread rapidly
and killed almost instantly. Many
from the Chippewa tribe as we'll as
from the other neighboring tribes
died. The medicine men convened
with the Great Spirit to find out
what could be done. On interpreted
ton of the Great Spirit, it was found
that some one must throw himself
into the Mississippi, the great Faith
er of Waters, and thus give himself
up to the Great Spirit, who would
then stop the plague. Every Indian
with the exception Of the young
chief, looked to the princess to do
this for the sake Of her tribe. He
tried to pursuade her to come with
him in his canoe to place free from
the plague where they might live
happily together.
One night as the chief was walk
ing slowly through the wood, pom
dering on what he could do to per-
suade the Indian Princess to leave
with him, he was suddenly stopped
by seeing a slight form of a girl
come tripping softly out of t h e
woods. He knew that this was the
princess, but although he tried to
speak, he could say nothing, and
when he tried to walk he could not
move muscle. He stood there in
silence watching every move of the
slight figure as she moved nearer
and nearer to the river. On reach
ing the rivers shore she stepped up
on large rock resting partly on
land and partly in the river. For a
moment she stood looking around |
her and then with grim determine
ton, she plunged into the river. The
chief having seen all of this without
being able to move or say anything,
now regalned his strength and
trudged slowly toward the Chippewa
encampment to deliver his bit of
news. The plague died out in due
time, but few forgot the story of
how the Indian girl had given her
life to the Great Spirit to save her
tribe from perishing, and when a
village was built up near the rock,
it was named Maiden Rock in honor
Of the princess. The village of Red
Wing was also named in honor of an
Indian princess who lived there.

"Of course the public didn't rea-
lie their dangerous position. The
doctors work required him to see
the cases in sufficient numbers to
make it impossible for him to ignore
the situation. I'm not claiming IN
due credit for him. He would have
had to be an inhuman monster to
have thought Of fees first. It does
seem, however, that he was entitled
to some respect, at the time and
some honor afterward, from the
thinking part of the population. In
stead, he lost some patients as re-
suit of his agitation. Some thong ht
it was improper for a doctor TO take
an interest in political affairs. 9th
ers resented his activities becaues
they were calculated to increase
taxes. However, the history Of the
eradication of contagious disease
has been one of thankleSS Sacrlhce
of personal interests on the part Of

 Those who have seen her baskets of How CTS arranged as she only knows how to them, will readily understand that my choice was a very happy one, for the things that Mrs. Smith has done for the Garden Shop are truly lovely; J didn't know that so many beautiful things could be made-such wonderful pillows and dainty bags, all of which she has done for the little chapel at Roebuck Springs, in order to add to the funds for the little church.

Spain Is Threatened by
 General Strike of Workers

Madrid, March 9o.-(Via Paris.)-Count Romanones, the premier, at a meeting of the cabinet today, outlined the situ- ation in Spain and announced that all precautionary measures required in the circumstances had been taken in Madrid. The Peoples house had been closed and all the provincial labor centers adhering to the general strike also will be closed.
 At the present time Madrid is quiet and the bulk of public opinion approves the energetic attitude of the govern nent in view of the revolutionary and anti-patriotic character a general strike would have under the present circum- stances.
 A circular telegram, sent to the gov ernors of the provinces, concludes:
 'If our situation is difficult, we must not forget that economic conditions here vary less from normal than in any other country. The attitude of the workmen, therefore in threatening the country with a general strike without valid reason cannot be excused by the situation"
