EARLY KiSTOHY OF HliiE LACS
COUNTY
Lake Breeze—At tlie state
historical rooms at St. Paul is
the only authenic history of the
Mille Lacs   lake  country.
A few years ago the State
Historical Society thought
enough of the matter to send
Prof. Blower to Paris to look
up the history and the French
government furnished and presented Prof. Blowers with all
the dakta it had on the early history of this  country.
The dates given here are furnished by the French Historical
Bureau and Society.
The first of the Jesuit Fathers
to visit this point was Father
Radisson in the year 1659, 253
years ago- He reports the lake
country as one great Sioux
camp, containing a great number of that tribe of Indians.
He was followed by Du Luth
in 1(379, 233 years ago, and next
by Accult in 1680, 232 years ago
and Father Hennepin soon after.
The battle of Kathio was
fought in 1750, 162 years ago,
and the Chippewas drove the
Sioux down the Rum river and
held the territory until ceded
to the government.
We believe it was live years
ago that Prof. Blowers and four
assistants of the State Historical Society, spent some time
here examining the country for
the purpose of determining the
spot where the battle of Kathio
was fought, and they came to
the conclusion that it was at
Vineland where this great battle was fought.
They brought back with them
relics that they found here
which the Society value at
$4000.
Artificial Frauds
To please the eye is better
than to please any other sense.
For many years the grocers
hi' ve taken tightly-packed boxes of strawberries when received from pickc-s, emptied
them out, repacked them loosely, placing the largest strawberries on top, and making rive
boxes out of four, get more money for them than they could
for the tightly-packed boxes.
Not content with that, they are
now coloring berries with coal
tar dye to make them a brilliant red. Several convictions
have been had recently on that
score. After all, the only people immune from arrest for impurities are the makers of beer
such as golden grain belt beers.

On The Track
of the fast express means serious trouble ahead if not removed, so does loss of appetite.
It means lack of Vitality, loss
of strength and nerve weakness.
If appetite fails, take Electric
Bitters quickly to overcome the
cause by toning up the stoi
and curing the indigestion. Mich.
Hessheimer of Lincoln, Neb.,
had been sick over three years,
but six bottles of Electric Bitters put him on his feet again.
They have helped thousands.
They give pure blood, strong
nerves, good digestion. Only 50
cents at E. L. Kaliher.

A GOOD SHOW
The Ranee people who showed
here Monday and Tuesaay evenings of this week, played to
large houses. Their show is
clean and up-to-date and far in
advance of the ordinary shows
making one and two night stands
in small villages, whose only object is to get their hands on the
people's money. The Ranees
gave the people their money's
worth. As a magician Mr. Ranee
ranks with those who play in
larger cities. On the whole
their programl is one which can
be recommended to all who enjoy clean artistic and wholesome
entertainment.

Dear Sir:—Please send me the
Journal to my address at once
for one year, together with bill.
I do not know your rates and
will send you check for same at
once.
Everything is so much different out here in Montana than it
used to be in Pierz, that I decided to send for the paper to
keep posted on things in the old
town. I like it very well, and
am glad to say that I finally got
to the state that I had been
longing to get into for a long
time. Say Hello to old Mel.

ORIGIN OF 'INDIAN SIMMER"
Mpls. Journal—I see that the
weather man doesn't seem to
understand the origin ol the
phrase "Indian summer." When
our country was new the Indians
used to terrorize the whites in
summer time, but when cold
weather set in, they retired farther into the forests. Then if
there should come a warm spell,
the whites with feelings of terror would say, "Another Indian
summer.'' And that would be
late in November, instead of in
October as the weather man has
it. Still the cold spell might be
earlier in some seasons than in
others. But, thank the Lord
for this fine weather.
—O. Wheelock.
There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

COLLEGE BELLE WAYNE CHAMPION
DAIRY COW
College Belle Wayne is a Holstein cow owned and bred by
the South Dakota State co1
Her official record is as foil
seven days 824.8 pounds of milk
26.3 pounds fat or 35.4 pounds
of butter: 80 da] I pounds
milk lie. 545 pounds fat or
68 pounds butter.
The causes which brought
about such large production of
milk are as follows: First, good
milk and butter producing ancestors; second, good raising; third
good feed and care especially
during the time of freshening
and the   official   dairy   backing.
The dam of College Belle
Wayne was LedaGerben Wayne.
She had a two year old seven
day record of nearly 18 pounds
of butter. She has now three
daughters in the College herd
which are all large milk producers.
Thus the mother of College
Belle Wayne was not only a
large producer, but she had the
power to transmit this quality
to her daughters. She was
bought from Md 'ay Bros, herd
in Iowa. The sire of College
Belle Wayne is Beppo Jewel
Lad. All of his daughters are
large producers. The sire of
this hull is Colantha 4th Lad.
Prom this short description it
will be seen that College Belle
ne owes her hereditary
producing' ability to the combined efforts of many.
The point that should be emphasized is, that College Belle
Wayne and her record is not an
accident. She stands as the
product of careful selection and
intelligent mating. During the
Hush of the season the Pierz
Co-operative creamery made 112
tubs of butter. About 199 cows
like College Belle Wayne would
have produced that amount.
The Pierz Co-operative cream
ery paid 31 cents for   butter fat
the 5th of October. What didyou
get:*
To be   continued  next  week.
We will tell what and  how  she
was fed during the test.
Yours  Truly,
Theo. Thielen.
