Park Rapids, Minn., May 14. — The tension over the cutting of green pine bas become intense on the White Earth reservation, where the Indians have de- cided in councils to protect their in- terests by force, if necessary, and to prevent the lumbermen from driving the logs off the reservation until they | @re rescaled and paid for at green pine rates. Parties of Indi , armed with Win- chesters, have gone from Pine Point, White Earth and Twin Lakes on the White rth reservation, to Round Take, where the logs would enter the Otter Tail river. These parties number fm the aggregate about sixty men, who say they want no trouble and are after only their rights. They will hold the drive at Round lake and prevent the drivers from sending the logs down the Otter Tail until a new scale is made. Speciat Agent McCommas, who is at White Earth, has requested the com- missioner of Indian affairs to send an expert scaler, and this request has al- layed the anger of the Indians for the time being. The Indians are incensed at Agent Mercer of Leech Lake, who, it was supposed, would look after their inter- ests, and at the lumber companies, be- tween whom they charge connivance and fraude. They claim that the whole- gale cutting of fine standing green pine was repeatedly reported to Agent Mercer from the time it commenced in the early winter until the camps closed in the spring. Another source of dissatisfaction on the part of the Indians is the alleged fraudulent scaling of the logs. They claim collusion between the scalers of the lumbermen and those of the agent, whereby the scale fell short millions of feet, thus defrauding them of thou- sands of dollars. The old feeling of distruct toward the government is aggravated by the re- peated dispatches from Washington to the press that only “5 per cent” of the total cut of pine was green, whereas the Indians estimate that at least 75 per cent was green standing pine; and that the full confidence of the interior de- partment was reposed in these opera- tions. They hald that this confidence in the face of the evidence is unwar- ranted, and that an investigation, in- dependent of Agent Mercer, should be granted. PICTURE OUT OF COMMISSION. Marinette Tricksters Forced to Stop Their Guposition on the Ignorant Poles. Marnette, Wis., May 14. — There is general indignation here over the im- position that has been practiced on the poor and ignorant Poles of this city by means of the picture which the trick- sters called the “bleeding picture.” ‘The deception was so simple and puerile that the intelligent public did not ap- preciate that soon the ignorant could be mystified or duped by it until the ex- eltement in the Polish quarter, where the picture was on exhibition, had growt to alarming proportions. A wet sponge has now removed the blood stains, and the picture has been taken away by order of Rev. Fr. Papon, pas- tor of the Polish Catholic church. Free Gold Ore Found. Lead, S.

Goss of this place has sent a ripple of excitement all over Douglas county, and Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills, the remedy in question, are receiving the greatest advertisement any medicine has ever had in this state. To satisfy the many inquiries which she finds it impossible to answer by let- ter, Mrs. Goss has sent the following statement of her case to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: “J did not think I could live a day and suffer as I have lived and suffered for months, with Sciatica and Rheuma- tism. I used baths and liniments of all kinds. Two physicians treated me, one of them for two months. Nothing helped me in the least. I never slept more than ten or fifteen minutes at a time. I was bed-fast, and had to lie on one side all the time. I used to wish for death to deliver me from such tor- ture. “A friend suggested Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and after I had used them a week I began to improve, and in about four weeks I could sit up in bed. A few days later I walked a quarter of a mile and back. I now do all my own cook- ing and housework. The pain has en- tirely left me, and I am a well woman. I have taken altogether sixteen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved my life. —Mrs. M. .A. Goss.” People come for miles to see Mrs. Goss and hear her wonderful story.
