Recalling Some Forgotten

common interest well-nigh indissOlube. BY the
adoption of such line Illinois may become at
some future time the keystone to the perpetuity
of the Union"
Popes prophecy was more accurate than he
could possibly have realized at the time. For
congress needed his plea and gave the new state
the site of the future city of Chicago and a strip
of territory running 81 miles north from the foot
of the lake and west to the Mississippi. And
this did result in making Illinois keystone to
che perpetuity of the Union"
Had the original boundary as established by
the ordinance of 1887, prevailed, Chicago would
have been in Wisconsin. In that case it is
question if the city would have become so great
as it has. For the Illinois and Michigan canal
and the Illinois Central railroad, both of which
contributed so much to Chicag0S early growth,
were due wholly to the enterprise of the state
and probably would not have been built to a
city in an adjoining state.
Having a port on the Great Lakes bound the
commercial interests of Illinois with those of
the North and, despite a large immigration from
the South throughout most of her territory, made
her Northern state" in the coming struggle of
1S61-65. Moreover the votes of IA countless
formed from the strip of land given to Illinois
by this decision, made Illinois a Republican state
and assured the candidacy of Abraham Lincoln
for President. 1t also gave her the city of
Galena, the home of man named Ulysses 5.
Grant.
In later years this strip figured in a dispute
between Illinois and Wisconsin because of an
error made by the surveyors in running the
boundary line. A wedgeshaped piece of Hill
nois is actually in Wisconsin at one end of the
line and a part Of Wisconsin is in Illinois at the
other. Some citizens of Illinois believe that
Beloit Wis, is in reality in Illinois and during
an Illinois constitutional convention in 1920 it
was proposed to demand a survey in order
to justify that claim. ThereupOn Wisconsin re-
tOrted that she would lay claim to Chicago and
all the rich suburbs to the north under the "for
ever unalterable" provisions of the Ordinance of
1877. SO the matter was hastily dropped.
The errors of the English map-maker and the
mistakes of surveyors, resulting in disputed
boundary lines in, the Old Northwest, have not
been the only ones, however, which have caused
trouble between states There have been other
potential civil wars" but, unlike the Toledo
war;" they have been waged in the courts rather
than in the field One of them began in Colonial
tmes-in 1851 when King Charles of England
granted William Penn the 100000 acres that
later became the state of Pennsylvania I'm
medatey Penn became involved in a dispute
with Lord Baltimore of Maryland, his neighbor
to the south, when it was discovered that the

line originally set between the two colonies
passed north of Philadelphia and placed that city
in Maryland, besides excluding Pennsylvania
from Delaware bay. Negotiations to correct this
mistake covered nearly century before an
agreement finally reached and during that
time there was long period of litigation in the
English courts.
The Penns won a legal victory there in 1850 and
both sides were directed to proceed within 80
days to lay out and mark the boundary line.
Accordingly commissioners were appointed and
met in New Castle, Del, that fall. But again
dispute arose and the wrangling of the commits
sioners prevented the surveyors from accomplish
ing any work. Finally the Penns decided to go
ahead anyway and engaged surveyors who set
to work in December. Before they could COM
plete their work they lost their shelter and sup
plies by fire and almost perished in the wilder
ness. The next year the commissioners met
again and accepted the work of the surveyors
incomplete though it was and placed stone mark
ers where they had set their stakes.
Nothing more was done about completing the
survey until 1760 when a new agreement was
signed by the propretors of the two colonies.
But the surveyors had done such a poor job that
the Penns and the Calverts sent to England for
two famous mathematicians, Charles Dixon and
jeremiah Mason, to come over here and run the
boundary line.
Mason and Dixon started in 1853 and did not
finish until 1867. But they did their job WELL for
when a resurvey was made 130 years later with
modern instruments and modern methods, the
position found for the northeast corner of Mary
land differed only $50 feet from the position
which they had established. The original stones
for the five-mile marks on this line carved
in England from limestone with Lord Baltimores
coat of arms on one side and the Penn arms on
the other The boundary which they established
later became famous as the Mason and Dixon
Line" mythical dividing line between the North
and the South in the dispute over slavery, one
of the main issues in the greatest civil war In
all history.
This boundary dispute between Maryland and
Pennsylvania was not unique in American his

ernor Lucas or otherwise indicated allegiance to
Ohio. One of them was a frontier notable Maj.
B. f. Stickney venerable and wealthy citizen
who had been Indian agent at Fort Wayne Ind,
during the War of 1872. Pm order to annoy him
and force him to give bonds for his release, thus
acknowledging the jurisdiction of Michigan, they
threw him into the same cell with a dirty, rag
ged old Frenchman who had been imprisoned
for debt But Stickney Outguessed them He
gave the Frenchman enough money to pay his
debt and thus secured the freedom of the vermin-
infested debtor and gained the sole occupancy
of the cell.
+ Next the Ohio legislature in special session
appropriated 100000 and authorized it's fighting
governor to borrow 100000 more to maintain
Ohio's jurisdiction over the Lake Erie strip. The
Ohio adjutant general reported to Lucas that
10000 militia were ready to march and drive the
Michiganders out of Lucas county where fights
between the rival factions were occurring almost
daily. Although there had been no fatalities as
yet, the situation became so serious that Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson felt it advisable to step
in and have both states declare a truce until
congress could settle the dispute.
In congress Illinois and Indiana lined up solid
ly behind Ohio and it's cause was further aided

moved from office for displaying too much war

gates that the actual foot of Lake Michigan was
some distance south of the point shown
MitchelPs map. So the canny Buckeyes, de-
termined to get all that coming to them,
stipulated that if the east and west line laid
down by congress should fall so far south
to miss Lake Erie, Ohio would then claim all
territory to the northermost cape of Mama bay.
In 1905 congress created the territory of Michi-
gan and fixed its southern boundary as provided
by the Ordinance of 1887. The result that
the new territory claimed a strip of land some
five or six miles wide across the entire southern
side of Lake Erie, including the port of Toledo.
But" retOrted the Buckeyes, that's our land.
We laid claim to it three years ago and we in
tend to have it." So there acrid dispute
which dragged along unsettled for 80 years.
In 1885 Michigan was about to become state
and sought to enforce it's claim on the Lake Erie
strip. By that time Ohio had It's Miami and Erie
canal system under construction and wanted an
outlet for it in Toledo. Stevens T. Mason, terri
torial governor of Michigan, denounced this 'OhiO
steal" and the people of his state backed him up
in his determination to assert Michigan's claim
to the Lake Erie strip. In March, 1885, he rushed
thousand Michigan militamen into Toledo,
solved to hold it against the Buckeyes at all
costs.
At the same time Gov. Robert Lucas of Ohio
called out his militia and marched to Perrys-
burg with 600 of them to protect the Ohio sur
veyors who were running northern boundary
line-far enough north to include Toledo. More
over the Ohio legislature formed a county out
of the disputed territory including Toledo, and
gave it the name of Lucas in honor of their
governor
When the Michigan militia forciby elected the
Ohio surveyors, it up to Lucas to assert
not only military but judicial sovereignty
this region. He began issuing commissions to
county officers and at midnight one night, while
the Michigan defenders of Toledo slept, group
of Buckeyes stole into the town with law books
and judicial papers and hurredly went through
the fOrmaities of holding court" Having done
this, they raced their horses back to the prOtec-
ton of the Ohio troops.
Michigans retort to such actions was to catch
and imprison every inhabitant of the disputed
territory who accepted a commission from Gov

like temperament. The final congressional COM
promise which was accepted by both states,
thus bringing the war" to an end, recognized
Ohios boundary claims, including her right to
the city of Toledo. To compensate Michigan for
the loss of this important lake port, congress
gave her what is known as the Upper
Peninsula
Michigan didn't think much of her new terri
tory at first but when rich deposits of copper
and iron ore were discovered in the Upper PENN
sula she was glad enough to have the land con-
tanning all this natural wealth. Years later be-
cause of the acquisition of the region, Michigan
became involved with another state in another
boundary dispute.
In 1921 resolution was offered in the Wis
consin legislature inviting the people of the Up
per Peninsula to secede from Michigan, from
which it is separated by water, and become
part of the Badger state, to which it is Joined
by land. The resolution was rejected but repre-
sentatives from the peninsula followed 1t up
with a proposal that they be permitted to form
a separate st4te to be called Superior.
Next the Michigan legislature appointed
committee to investigate the question of the
boundary line between Wisconsin and the Upper
Peninsula and appropriated $4,000 for its eX-
penses. 1t asserted that surveyors chose
the wrong fork of the Montreal river when they
ran their lines and that $50 square miles of
territory, including the town of Hurley, Wis.,
"the richest village in the world" really belonged
to Michigan. When Gov. John J. Blaine of Wis
consin declined to arbtrate the question, the
committee recommended to Governor Sleeper of
Michigan that he bring suit to recover these 800
square miles for the Wolverine state However
nothing came of this proposed civil war" which
was to have been fought out by lawyers instead
of armed men.
The same error in the Mitchell map which
caused the Toledo war" destined to affect
also the boundary relationships between Wis
consin and Illinois, although it never precipitated
crisis as it did in the case of Michigan and
Ohio. Back in 1918, when Illinois was about to
become a state, Nathaniel Pope her delegate in
congress- argued for a northern boundary where
the Englishman's map showed the foot of Lake

Michigan TO be, instead of the bend where it
actually is. He declared that the direction of
the new states commerce would be determined
by its waterways and, if Illinois were shut off
from the lake, that commerce would follow the
streams which flowed into the Ohio and Mssis-
sippi rivers, thus attiliatng its interests with
those of the South. Foreseeing the possibility
of IAN attempted dismemberment of the Union,"
he predicted that illinois will cast her lot with
the southern states. On the other hand, to fix
the northern boundary of Illinois upon such
parallel of latitude would give to the state
territorial jurisdiction over the southwestern
shores of Lake Michigan, would be to unite the
incpent commonwealth to the states of Indiana
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York in bond of

II southern states, was not the
only "war between the states in our history.
Just hundred years ago two northern states
were having a lively little civil war all of their
own in which there were "rads" and "invasions"
by armed forces and in which bloodshed was avert
ed only by the Intervention of the President of
the United States. That the "Toledo war"
of 1885 between Michigan and Ohio.
This "war" had it's origin away back in 1855
when John Mitchell, English physician and
scientist published in London great map of
America in eight large sheets. This map was
accepted as the basis for determining the
boundaries from that time until after the treaty
of peace which ended the Revolution. MitchelFs
idea of the lay of the land in the Old Northwest
was rather hazy, so there were a number of
errors in his map. Some of these were fortunate
for the United States, for they enabled the new
nation to lay claim to more land than it would
have obtained if the map had been correct. But
it was one of these errors which led eventually
to the "Toedo war;"
Mitchell made the mistake Of charting the
foot of Lake Michigan in latitude Al degrees,
20 minutes, instead of Al degrees, 81 minutes
His map was used as guide in 1857 when con-
gress adopted an ordinance for the government
of the Northwest Territory, including the pres
ent states of Ohio Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
and Wisconsin. The ordinance provided that
two of the five states should lie north of an
east and west line drawn through the southern
bend or extreme of Lake Michigan" The pre-
amble of the ordinance also stated that it's arti-
cleS should forever remain unalterable unless
by common consent
In 1902 congress authorized the people of Ohio
to form a state government for entrance into the
Union. Accordingly convention was held to
draw up constitution. A trapper told the dele

Il epilepsy because, though no
cause has been found as yet,
these attacks can now be con-
trolled in many cases by cutting
down on starch foods and
liquids, and increasing the fat
foods. When this is not sufficient
the use of phenobaribital daily con-
trolls the great majority of cases.
Similarly while the cause of can

Another ailment that is very
common but has defied research
workers as to its cause is one
sided headache or migraine.
The cause Of migraine in the
opinion of many physicians includ-
ing myself is that the body or
mlnd gets very tired and certain
processes of the body including
those of the liver do not do their
work properly, foods are not di-
gested properly, and the blood car
rles substances which cause this
painful head condition.
You can thus see that it is cas-
lily possible for good foods to cause
the trouble. The patient may be
eating the same foods regularly,
but when he is oyertired, certain
of these foods, which cause no
trouble when the patient is not
tired, do cause trouble. If you will
think of your friends or acquaint-
ances who have migraine, YOU will

Many of these patients think

There is often a stabbing pain
in the gall bladder-upper right

extend to- right shoulder and shoul-
der blade as in gall stone collie.
When these bilious" attacks Oc-
cur it is wise to abstain from food
for as long as "a hours, using
either calomel and EPSON salts. or
EPSON salts alone. Often just
level teaspoonful of Epson salts
daily for week or ten days, drains
the bladder, removes liver con-
gestiOn and gives the whole liver
and gall bladder system a fresh
start.
The two methods of preventing
sluggish liver, biliousness, or the
formation of gall stones is by exer-
else and diet.
The exercise consists in simply
bending the body from side to side,
keeping the knees straight-2O to
30 times each side, night and morn
ing.
The diet consists of (a) eating
certain foods - soup, fowl, fish,
lamb, beef, ham, mutton, spinach,
asparagus, celery, green peas,
string beans, potatoes, raw fruits,
stewed fruits, and (b) avoiding
spices, shell fish, cheese, pastry,
creams, rich desserts, stews, sal
mon mackerel, pork and gravies.
Such diet is not difficult.
