THE INDIAN WAR

In the year 1890, the Indian Chief
Sitting Bull'' issued orders to every
Indian in this country to prepare for
war. The sign which was to show that
the war was to commence was by
dancing their war dances. Every In
dian was to dance certain time be-
fore war commenced.
Sitting Bull was the leader or Chief
of all the Indians in this country and
lived in South Dakota in what is
known as the Bad Lands. The number
of Indians in that certain place alone
was about 1000 of which 5000 were
trained soldiers.
To send his orders to every Indian
that was scattered all over this great
country, he appointed his best horse
riders to ride from one camp to an
other warning every Indian to get
ready for war. s..,...... 49,. +
When this news reached the Turtle
Mountains, North Dakota, we new
settlers who were here began to be-
come greatly excited and anxious. The
wolves were bowling, the Indians, OF
whom there were about two thousand
living or camping in each end Of the
Turtle Mountains. These times certain
ly looked very dangerous, no horses
and no automobiles at that time to
take us away. This war Of course to
be against the whites. The writer, Of
this article was here long time be-
fore this war was to come off, and
talked with many Of the Indians,
giving them tobacco and things to eat
for which they seemed very thankful.
One Of the lower Chiefs had q very
pretty daughter, named Mcsolla, we
talked good deal with each other,
and had some very good times togeth-
er. When Mosolla's father noticed
that we were very friendly, he at once
issued an order to every Indian in the
Turtle Mountain to be on the lookout
and not kill any Of the whites who
were in the presence Of his daughter

Rat is Menace on Flight

A stowaway rat was found, or
rather heard, on the military air.
plane which few to India not long
ago. 1t is supposed to have
boarded the machine at Chobar, in
Arabia, probably attracted by the
food supplies the aviators carried
aboard the big bomber. That rat
became a nuisance, and, indeed, a
potential danger. All the way to
Kerachi it could be heard gnawing
something.
The question was - whate 1t
might be making a hole in some
thing very important.
At Kerachi an effort was made
to capture the rodent or drive it
off the machine, but all attempts
failed. Being an Arabian native,
the idea occurred to some one that
it would not be Injured to cold, so
the machine, on leaving Kerachi,
was taken to 10000 feet. This did
the trick. Frozen or numbed with
cold, the rat evidently lost hold
and fell into space.

present, and by far the largest at
tendance at any game that was
ever played here. Most of the
visiting fans we're crippled soldiers
from the Fort and everything pos
sible was done to give the soldiers
a cordial welcome. After they had
been served with a tasty luncheon
they were escorted to the audi
torium where the local orchestra
entertained them with selected
music for an hour or more.
However, the ball game proved
to be pretty much one-sided af-
fair. The soldiers winning by q
score of 9 to O. The locals were
outclassed in every stage of the
game. Only twenty-eight batters
faced the opponents pitcher in
nine innings. Thirteen of these
struck out, thirteen were thrown
out at first and one going out on a
pop-up fly to third, leaving only
one man to get safely on first by a
lonely scratch hit. The initial sack
was as far as the runners could get
before the side was retired.
Schultz who played on first base
for the visitors was the hero of the
game and especially so with the
bat. Out of five times to bat he
got four safe hits. one for three
stations and one double. He bat
ted in four runs and made one
himself.
The visitors started right off the
reel to get firm grip upon the
game. Byrd went out on line
drive to Hoy. Brown got two
base hit and was advanced to third
on Porter's hit. Anderson laid
one down in front of the plate and
Brown scored on a fielder's choice.

manded the approaching force.
Had it opened upon it, it would
have scattered it like chaff. The
officer commanding the batteries
was requested to fire, but he in
sisted that the advancing soldiers
were those of the Union. They
came nearer, and presently opened
fire upon the artillery and the can
noneers were killed or wounded.
1t was the crisis of the battle, yet
the day was not lost to the FEEDER
ais thereby. But, in some mex
plicable way, the Union soldiers
began to give back. They seemed
utterly wearied by the heat and
the conflict. The tide could still
have been stemmed had the re-
serves been brought on. But at
the critical moment the last contin-
gent of Johnston's army came up
on the scene, and soon the almost
victorious Union troops were on
their way, pell-mell, to Washing
ton! Many went the long way
round, as they had come for the
flank movement, and when they
reached the capital city they sank
upon the pavements. or doorsteps,
anywhere. everywhere, oblivious
to all about them, utterly ex-
hausted.
1t was a woeful sight for the
Unionists. For the line of retreat
was strewn with knapsacks and
accouterments of various sorts,
thrown away in the headlong
fight. Drivers of artillery horses,
or of wagons, whipped their steeds
into a gallop, and some heartrend-
ing casualties ensued. Carriages
not few, containing distinguished
folk of Washington, had driven
out to view the battle-these, too,
retired precipitately, and the Con-
federates made good use of the
word run" in describing the en-
gagement. And yet their victory
was plucked out of the very jaws
of defeat.
But it was a notable victory for
the South, nevertheless. Yet, par
adoxically, it did more damage
than good to the Southern cause.
The Confederates were unduly
elated, and expected a future
walk-over, while the North, in its
humiliation, perceived that the war
would be no child's play, and that
it must get ready for sterner
things. Accordingly, it was
reused to preparation, and there
after the Army of the Potomac, a
splendid organization, was created
by the genius of General George
B. Mcclellan.

In the National Geographic
Magazine three years ago William
Howard Taft wrote of the Wash

self. the Washington monument
stands not only as one of the most
stupendous works Of man, but also
as one of the most beautiful of all
human creations. Indeed it is at
once so great and so simple that it
seems to be almost a work of ma
ture. Dominating the entire Dis
trict of Columbia, it has taken it's
place with the capitol and the
white house as the three foremost
national structures.
with a new character for each
new hour, a different aspect for
every change of light and shade,
the Washington monument seems
to link heaven and earth in the
darkness, to pierce the sky in the
light and to stand an immovable
mountain peak as the mists of
every storm 90 driving by. With
a height of 555 feet, base of IS
feet square, and walls tapering
from Is feet at the base to Is
inches at the top; with it's interior
lined with memorial stones from
the several states, from, many
famous organizations and from a
number of foreign countries; with
its stately simplicity and the high
qualities of manhood it honors, it
is fitting that the aluminium tip
that caps it should bear the phrase
'Laus Deo.'"
Stately simplicity is what
makes the Washington monument
one of the greatest in the world,
observes the Kansas City Star.
The original plan of the de-
signer, Robert Mills, was to have
as the main feature of the monu-
ment a large columned pantheon to
be used as museum for war relics
and statues of great men, and the
obelisk was to arise from its CEN
ter and surmount the whole.
The pantheon idea was aban-
doned later when the monument
came to be built, and everyone
feels now that it is good thing it
was so, because a building of any
kind at it's base would only detract
from its sublimity and grandeur.
Washington himself selected the
site for the monument, but at that
time the intention was to erect an
equestrian statue, which congress
had voted for in 1888. Nothing
was done until 1888, when Chief
John Marshall headed movement
called the "Washington Monument
society,"" to solicit funds to build
it. 1t was then the architect,
Robert Mills, designed an obelisk
surmounting a colonnade of Doric
columns.
Some money was collected. but

IASNEGH even a little child felt in
|l&Ay the dark days of the
Union a half century ago. But
there are some interested readers
of this paper, much older than the
writer, who recall wildly the
stormy times attending the birth
of disunion. Who that lived in
July, 1861, ever can forget the
humiliation of the North over the
battle of Bull Run, fought on the
21stg
The North was bubbling over
with desire to avenge the fall of
Sumter, and the newspapers
goaded the Government to march
against the enemy. Neither side
was at all prepared for actual con-
flict, although more of a military
spirit prevailed in the South. and
there had been more drilling there,
in anticipation of war.
The main Confederate army, un-
der General P. G. T. Beauregard,
was posted along a little stream
with rocky banks, flowing south
westerly to junction with the
Occoquen and finally emptying in
to the Potomac. Its name became
historic Run!
The Confederates guarded the
fords of Bull Run. At one of
these, Blackburn's, General Tyler
''felt" the enemy on the 10Th, and
was repulsed. This small incident
depressed the Unionists and en-
couraged the Confederates.
McDowell's plan was to surprise
his adversary by a flank move
ment. While part of his army
pretended to attack at a central
point, the main force would attack
the enemy's left, and overwhelm
him. And this partially succeeded.
His force at this particular point
was in excess of that of the enemy,
and he pressed him back, back un-
til it seemed as though victory
were within the Union grasp.

Thomas Jonathan jackson re-
ceived his sobriquet of "Stone-

it might be Confederates to the

the contending forces were very
