_The Red Lake Tangle.
J. C. McKusick has just re
turned from a trip to the Red
Lake country and while there
witnessed four councils between
the Indians and Major McLaugh
lin in regard to the ratification
of the Red Lake treaty. Mr.
McKusick says the indians were
willing to sell, but wanted to
know justewhat they were to be
paid, also that they would not
give any of their lands to the
state for school purposes and
that the White Earth Indians or
no other bands were to receive
any part of the proceeds of this
sale.
During one of these councils
Major McLaughlin mentioned
the fact that the government was
giving the indians free meals to
which an old chief replied that
in 1889 when Major Rice was
holding council at Red Lake, he
furnished free meals but after
wards found that the meal had
cost"them about $1,000.so they
would offer no thanks for same
until they found out the cost of
it.
At the close of the last con
-ferance an old chief arose and
said: "I was sent to Washington
twice to treat with the govern
ment and both times returned
empty handed and I think it will
be the same with you. am not
ashamed of it and don't think
you need to be."
The meetings throughout were
marked by a spirit of friendliness
but were firm in their refusal.
At the close of the council the
Indians shook hands with the
major and told him they were
also shaking hands with con
gress.
Mr. McKusick brought back
an excellant collection of firs,
bead work, maple sugar an in
dian curios.
j..- imita in Brazil.
James W. O'Bannon, chief yeoman
of the United States steamship Atlan
ta, recently found an old Syrian coin
in Perambuco, Brazil. It is of silver,
about the size of an English shilling,
with a raised king's head on one side,
and on the other the figure of a wom
an sitting spinning with a distaff in
her right hand. Upon her left and
by the side of her chair is a horn of
plenty.
The inscription each side of the
woman is in old Greek text, and trans
lated is "Demetrius Soter, King."
"In place of a date," writes Mr.
O'Bannon, "are marks which cannot
be perfectly translated by any Greek
scholar I have consulted, but most aU
agree that these marks indicate the
eighth year of the king's reign. If
this be the ease the coin is somewhat
older than the Christian era, for King
Demetrius ruled Syria before Christ
was b^rr
Frank Cummings BrougM Back
From Omaha by Sheriff
Thos. Bailev.
Accused of Stealing Sixty
Watches Last January
at Blackduck.
Had Ten of the Watches In
His Possession When Caught
by Sheriff.
Sheriff Bailey returned from
Omaha Mondaj*, bringing with
him Prune! Ou minings, who is
charged with stealing sixty wat
ches from Barney Anderson at
the Merchants Hotel in Black
duck last winter. Ten of the
watches wore found upon his
person when lie was apprehend
ed by Chief Donahue of Omaha.
He had also 40 brokers tickets
on his person.
The capture was an accident.
During Pres. Roosevelt's stay in
Omaha the police of that city
were keeping a sharp lookout for
crooks and the chief of police
spotted this man and when tak
en to the police station he at
tempted to drop the brokers
tickets into a cuspid re When
they searched him they found
ten watches. Whjn closely
questioned he broke down and
told his story. Chief Donahue
notified Sheriff Bailey and the
latter went after his man. A. N.
Anderson, the owner of the wat
ches, has ltft for Chicago with
the brokers tickets to redeem
same.
RIGHT CHURCH, BUT WRONG PEW
Visitor Invades Sacred Precincts of
House of Representatives.
How the doorkeepers of the House
are able to carry in their memory the
faces of all entitled to admission to
the floor is a question which would be
puzzling if it were pondered on, says
the Washington Star. That they real
ly do not do this, but depend largely
upon the sense of propriety which
possesses the great throngs of visi
tors in the Capitol corridors, wa^
strikingly illustrated recently.
It was one minute to 12 o'clock, a.rj
Speaker Henderson had just made
way to the speaker's chair prepaj
tory to opening the session, when I
attention was attracted to a Strang AT
coming in at the door directly in
front of him. The man had success
fully passed the guards at the door
and was sauntering down the center
aisle gazing about complacently. The
curious look of the speaker attracted
the attention of Doorkeeper Will For
bis, and he hastened after the intrud
er, who looked the part of an ex-mem
ber or a member of the senate. He
wore an iron-gray mustache, a silk
hat and a Prince Albert suit, besides
a prepossessing smile. When Forbis
touched him on the arm and inquired
who he was, he replied, "Oh, just vis
iting, my boy, just visiting.'
"Well, that's all right, you are in the
right church, but the wrong pew," re
plied Forbis. "You will have to go
up in the gallery," and the visitor was
hustled out at a lively gait just as the
gavel fell.
CONTENTS OF A GIRL'S POCKET
Just Tew Thing* That Wersi Pat Away
In the Receptacle.
From time immemorial it has been
understood that one can find almost
anything in a boy's pocket. Funny
writers and illustrators have had
flings unnumbered at this particular
object, but it is not recalled that any
of them have devoted sufficient atten
tion to that still more wonderful re
ceptacle, a girl's pocketbook, which
generally contains a conglomeration
calculated to put a boy to the blush.
A girl emptied her purse the other
day. "I have to clean it out," she ex
plained, "every once in a while, just
i as I do my bureau drawers." These
are some of the things that were in it:
Two $1 bills, a 50-cent piece, two
quarters, a 5-cent piece (lead) and ten
pennies, a "lucky" Italian coin, a Ja
panese "pocket piece," two receipts,
three bills, a parlor-car check, four
street railway transfers, five mutilat
ed stamps, a pencil stub, matinee cou
pon, three keys, newspaper clippings
and a cleaner's check for gloves.
