OF
INDIANS LIVE
IN WISCONSIN
Greatest Redman Popula-
ton of Any State East of
The Mississippi River.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Jan. 5-Wiscon-
sin has the greatest Indian population
of any state east of the Mississippi
river, according to survey by the
Wisconsin Farmer. The state now
has between 10000 and $4,000 of such
Indians, the figures show.
The most numerous of the Wiscon-
sin Indians are the Chippewas, the
Oneidas, Menominees, Winnebagoes,
Pottawatomies, Brothertowns and
Stockbridges, and, according to the
survey, the number of Indians has in
creased considerably in recent years.
North Carolina follows Wisconsin
in point of number of Indians in
states east of the river Next in order
are Michigan, New York and Missis-
sippi.
The report states nearly all of
these Indians are in their native
homes, but the Oneidas, Brother
towns and Stockbridges of Wisconsin
are originally New York or New Eng
land Indians who purchased lands of
the Menominees and moved west, 1880
to 1910.
Oneidas are one of the we'll known
Iroquois tribes of the Five Nations;
the Brothertowns are made up of
remnants of various Algonquin peo-
pies, including the Narragansett, Mon
tauk, Dequet aud Mohican tribes. The
Stockbridges are likewise a mixed
race, but principally with the Mohic-
ans, from the Hudson river below AL
bany.
Apparently, the report adds, the
Oneidas, Brothertowns and Stock
bridges have lost all trace of their
ancient life and customs, although
the Oneidas retain their language.
They are engaged principally in
farming and various trades, where
as the native Wisconsin tribes still
retain, undoubtedly, their ancient rites
and ceremonies and still exc out a
part Of their existence through hunt
ing and fishing, according to the sur
vey

Bridge Plans Halted
at Prairie du Chen

PRA. DU CHIEN-The proposal to
build a bridge across the two chan
nels of the Mississippi between this
city and McGregor and Marquette,
Iowa, has been called off temporarily
and the bridge engineers ordered 10
cease making plans.
A special committee authorized to
look into the proposal and financing
found that the building cost was out
of proportion to the cost OF similar
structures at Dubuque, La crosse
and other points, and that the puDllc
would not back a 100000 bridge
when the highest cost of similar
structures investigated was no more
than $4,000.
One of Dubuque's bridges across
the Mississippi cost $120,00O and the
other $4,000, and the one at La
Crosse cost $4,000.

FENNIMORE

August Jahnke returned Friday from
the Ashland country. Says he escaped
real easy, as they were having a
warm spell while he was there, it be-
ing only 90 below zero. August doesn't
like the country very we'll. Says to
keep the stock that he has on his 140
acre farm in North Lancaster, going
up there, he would have to have 5000
acres of that land.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the Ben Bowers family,
whose oldest son, Bernard, IL years
DID, is desperately sick with brain fe-
yer. The boys condition yesterday
showed some improvement and he
still has a fighting chance for recov-
cry. We sincerely hope a change for
the better may soon manifest itself
and that he may be restored to his
parents, nearly worn out themselves
with worry and vigil over their sore
ly stricken boy.
The many friends of Mrs. Seth
Bailey, matron of the city rest room,
will learn with sorrow of her latest
afliction. Late in the fall she had a
serious illness from which she seemed
to be recovering nicely after her re-
turn from the Brookside hospital at
BOscObel and was again able to be
about the house, with every prospect
that she would soon be able to re-
sumo her work Monday morning she
suffered a paralytic stroke, which has
left her right side helpless and has
again put her on a bed of pain. Her
condition shows but little change and
the prospects for her recovery do not
appear of the best. Her daughter,
Nellie, who had only returned to her
school at Oconomowoc after the holt
day vacation, was summoned and is
helping care for her mother.-Times.
