BODY IS SHIPPED T0 FARIBAULT FOR BURIAL Bishop J. D. Morrison Tells of Sac- rifices and Energetic Church Work. The stillness of death was on Cass Lake yesterday afternoon. N9rthern Minnesota paid its last respects to Archdeacon Heman Franklin Parshall who died Satur- day morning after an illness of sev- eral weeks. Hundreds Present. Hundreds attended the services held at the Episcopal church in Cass Lake yesterday afternoon. Men and women from many different points, who either knew the late archdeacon or who knew of his excellent work, were present. Indians, for whom the 'late archdeacon worked and willingly made sacrifies, were present. A large number of people from Bemidji, in- cluding members of the Bemidji lodges of Masons and Elks also at- tended the services. Church Too Small. The Episcopal church proved en- tirely too small for the immense crowd that gathered. The altar had been converted into a bower of flow- ers, solemnly contrasted against the mourning of the entire village. Bishop J. D. Morrison of Duluth delivered the oration. While all Cass Lake and representatives of many northern points stood with tear stained eyes in the church or near it, the bishop detailed the life of the decedent, of whom Northern Minne- sota was proud. Worked Energetically. He told of his attending the Sea- bury Divinity school at Faribault and his graduating therefrom. Of his be- ing ordained as a priest and going to a small place in Colorado where he had his first church. Of return- ing to Minnesota and being selected by him (the bishop) to aid in the Duluth diocese and to work among the Indians. He told of how the archdeacon labored energetically for the church. How he loved the In- dians and made many sacrifices for them. How he traveled the length and breadth of his district to minis- ter to the sorrowing and needy. How the archdeacon loved his work and how he will be missed, were told by the bishop. Body to Faribault. Rev. Murphy of Wadena was master of the ceremonies, Rev. James G. Ward of Cloquet participated in the ceremonies. Rev. C. de L. Harris of Park Rapids and Rev. Wright of Cass Lake attended the services. This morning the remains of the late archdeacon were borne through sorrowing crowds to the railway sta- tion by members of the Cass Lake lodge of Masons and placed aboard a train for Faribault. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon and in- terment will be made in a Faribault cemetery. “MOTHERS' DAY" I3 006 CATGHER IS BUSY; ONLY 42 DO6S TAGGED The dog catcher began his work in Bemidji today and up to noon had captured several dogs without loense tags.

FORTY CENTS PER MONTH INDIAN TREATY NEARLY AMENDED BY GONGRESS Measure Affecting Territory Here is Almost Amended by Senators. LIQUOR LW SAVED, BY NARROW MARGIN Bill is Sent Back for donfm; Objection is Made by Senator Clapp. Regulations regarding the sale of liquor in this distriet covered by the Indian treaty of 18566 barely escaped being greatly modified by the U. 8. senate recently, according to word recelved from Washington. But for an objection made by Senator Moses E. Clapp, the proposed law would have passed the senate. The -question arose during a dis- cussion of the conference report-on the Indian bill. In the section relating to the hand- ling of liquor in Indian country there was a provision that enforced heavy penalties against any one guilty of introducing liquor into Indian coun- try, at the end of which appeared the following language: % “And the possession by a person of intoxicating liquors in the country where the introduction is prohibited shall be prima facile evidence of un- lawful introduction.” Provision is Amended. The conferees amended this provi- sion by making it apply to “Indian” country, striking out the word ‘‘the” before ‘“‘country,” and substituting the word “Indian.” Senator Clapp called attention to this change, saying: “The amendment that had been of- fered in the senate did not contain the words ‘Indian country’ but read ‘in the country where the introduc- tion is prohibited.” “I am not fully satisfied about putting the word ‘Indian’ into the bill, for I do not want any legislation to pass here, unless congress deliber- ately seeks to-pass it, that will sub- ject the territory covered by the treaty to a repeal as to the provisions of the treaty.” Fears Proposed Change, Senator Clapp stated further the change might lead to an interpreta- tion that would exclude large por- tions of the territory covered by the 1855 treaty, simply because it is not now occupied by Indians and there- fore in that sense mot “Indian coun- try.” Senator Nelson concurred in this view. The bill was sent back to confer- ence. ) WOMEN JUDGE SCHOOL BREAD BAKING GONTEST Mrs. E. H. Marcum, Mrs. A. P. Rit- chie and Mrs. A.
