La Fayette Monument.
In the city of Paris there is a convent
and garden wall, known through \ ic
tor Hugo's "Lee Miserables." It is the
convent of the Petit Picpus. In the
grounds of this convent is a small ceme
tery, where nearly fifteen hundred vic
tims of the guillotine were buried indis
criminately. Here also repose the
bones of La Fayette beside those of his
wife who wished to be buried there.
The resting place of La Fayette, gener
ally unknown and forgotten, is marked
only by a plain granite slab. Upon a
register kept by the persons in charge
of the conyent there are inscribed the
names of but a small number of casual
visiters. ~ T t-
In view of these facts, the La Fay
ette Memorial Commission has been
formed for the purpose of erecting a
monument to the memory of La Fayette
as a twentieth-century tribute from the
people of the United States, to be un
veiled with fitting ceremony July 4,
1900, and thus grandly to celebrate
United States day at the Pans Expo
sition. It is proposed that the cost of
the undertaking, which is estimated to
V*. approximate a quarter of a million dol
butions, secured tn large part through
the agency of the schools of our land.
The dedication of this monument, se
cured and built through the efforts
mainly of the young people of America,
will make conspicuously resplendent
our United States Day at the coming
Paris Exposition. No other country
will find such a basis for the celebra
tion of its national day in France; but
all the nations of the earth will unite
with this republic in the dedication of
this beautiful memorial, a tribute
which shall forever mark the grave of
La Fayette, whose memory is consecra
ted in the hearts of men.
It requires no argument to convince
the liberty-loving people of America of
the far-reaching value of this most fit
ting, opportune and significant move
ment. It can be made to promote pa
triotism, and emplant in the minds of
our young generation, from the Atlan
ric to the Pacific, a broader knowledge
of their country's history. It is pro
poeed that the President request the
governors of our States to specially des
ignate October 19, 1898, as "La Fayette
Day" in every school district through
out our land, when our children will be
told the story of our struggle for
liberty, and they may then make their
contributions in memory of their
nation's self-sacrifice, enthusiastic and
gallant defender.
The following is a brief recital of the
recognition shown La Fayette by our
nation in the past:
By Congress, upon the occasion of his
k departure from in 1784; it ex
tended him a national farewell.
By the State of Virginia and Mary
land, in the same year passing acts
making him and hiß heirs forever citi
wealths.
By Washington, when constrained as
chief of a nation to be silent and pass
ive toward a friendly power, he broke
all preceedents, and personally ad
dressed the Emperor of Germany in be
half of the releas of La Fayette from
the dnngeons of Olmu tz.
By Congress, when it voted him a
•word, and passed resolutions commend
ing him in the highest possible terms to
the king of France.
By tne reception given La Fayett
upon the occasion of his visit to Ameri
ca in 1818, on which occasion Congress
gave him an official reception in the
nail of the House of Representatives;
and when Congress presented him with
an appropriation of *200.000, a township
of land, built and named in his honor
a man-of-war, the Brandy wine, and
tendered the same to him for h:s con
veyance home. „
And also by the action of France,
which, having'through the influence of
La Fayette, loande us 27,000,000 livres,
•aid in regard to its payment, "Of the
27,000,000 we have loaned you, we for
give you 9,000,000 as a gift of friend
ship, and when with years there comes
prosperity, you can pay the rest with
out interest!"
The Commission has decided upon
October 19th, the anniversary of the sur
render of Corn wal lis at Yorktown, as
the day which the schools of the United
States are asked to recognize as "La
Fayette Day," On this date, it is
hoped, by concerted effort, ample funds
will be secured to build the monument
on a scale commensurate with the
oocasion. In the universities and col- 1
leges of the land, the heads of the insti
tutions are asked to appoint comittees
from their students to arrange and
carry out public exercises suited to
the idea; embracing perhaps historic
drama, patriotic oration, etc., charging 1
an admission fee, or collecting volun
tary contributions as local conditions 1
may suggest, and turning the proceeds
over to the President of the college,
who shall forward it to the Treasurer
of the Memorial Commission, Hon.
Charles G. Dawes, U. S. Controller of
the Currency, Washington. D. C. In
the higher grades of the public and
parochial schools, the same general
plan, as far as possible, should psevail
as in the universities and colleges. In
the primary grades and district schools,
the children may be asked to solicit
from their parents or acquaintances
•mall contributions, of from one cent
to ten cents, to be given their teacher,
who will forward the same to the
Treasurer of the Commission at Wash
ington.

Tlie Trouble at Leach Lake.
The northern part of the state of Min
nesota is full of lakes which form the
source of the Mississippi river. Some
of these lakes are very large. Leech
lake is about thirty miles long and
half that wide and its southern shores
form the boundary of an Indian reser
vation, occupied by the Chippewa and
Pillager Indians. On a point of land
jutting into this lake, some of these
IndiaDS ambushed a company of L.
soldiers last week, and killed six or
them. More troops were sent to the
scene, and the outbreak is supposed to
be over. , . , . . ~
The trouble which culminated in the
outbreak is of long standing It had its
beginning about three years ago. when
Chief Bog-A Ma Go-Shig was arrested
and taken to Duluth.when he was want
ed as a witness in a case then pending
in the United States court. At the con
clusion of the court proceedings the
Chief was dismissed with scent conr
tesy. Both his witness and mileage
fees were refused him and he was coin
pelled to walk from the city to his
home. He arrived at Walker footsore
and hungry, and with feelings not of
the kindest toward the white men wbo
had wronged him. He then declared
before a number of white men in the
trading store that he would never go
back as a witness in any court, no
matter what its nature was. An In
dian's oath is sacred, and once he has
has made a solemn vow he cannot eas
ily be presuaded by argument or en
treaty to break it. How well Bog A
Ma-Go-Sheg kept his word the sequel
shows.
At the next term of court the case
came on again for trial, and again he
was subpoenaed as a witness. He flatly
refused to obey the summons, was at
once arrested and was rescued by
several of thi younger braves. No
attempt was made to pursue the matter
further until a few weeks ago, when a
United States marshall went to Bear Is
land and again attempted to place the
old man under arrest. Again the chief
was rescued by the bucks and the mar
shal went away. He returned with an
Indian inspector and with warrants for
the chief and the bucks who rescued
him, and was driyen off the island.
Encouraged by their success, the In
dians began boasting loudly of their
prowess, and defied the authorities.
Their island was deemed impregnable
against any assault, being situated in
the middle of Leach Lake, with high
and rocky bluffs all around and with
the water so shallow as to make land
ing from steamers impossible After
ihey had expelled the marshall and his
posse when he attempted to serve the
warrants the last time, the Indians re
sumed their aboriginal manners. The
hatchet was dug up and the bucks put
on war paints and feathers and began
their war dances. The tobacco was
sent to all the tribes on the northern
reservations, and the fleet couriers
spread the word through the wilderness
Signal fires were lighted on the hills.
The few who had adopted the dress of
white men discarded it for the beech
clout and blanket. Members of the
tribe visited Walker and other towns,
and under the guise of friendly Indians
purchased all the arms and ammuni
tion to be procured there. Almost be
fore any one knew what was going on
the bucks were armed and ready to fight.
Marshal O'Connor reported the situ
ation and asked for soldiers. Fifty
men under command of Lieut. Humph
rey were sent from Walktr. As soon
as he arrived on the scene Lieut.
Humphrey saw that his small force
inents. Eighty more rien under com
inand of Gen. Bacon were sent to Wal
ker and immediately started for the
scene of trouble. The Indians had in
the meantime left the island and taken
position on a point of land opposite it.
Their location was ascertained by the
Indian police, and it was on this point
that Gen. Bacon determined to make a
landing. He did so unopposed and or
dered a reconnoissance. The bush was
beaten for some distance back from the
lake, but not a trace of an Indian was
found, and Gen. Bacon ordered his men
to stack arms and prepare dinner.
While the order was being carried out a
private soldier accidentally discharged
his gun, and in a twinkling a shot
came from the woods. In the space of
a minute two more shots came, and
then with warwhoops the Indians rush
ed from cover and made for the sol
diers, firing as they ran, and evidently
bent on driving theni into the lake.
Gen. Bacon, Major Wilkinson and
Lieut. Ross formed their men and re
treated to cover With the first volley
from the Krag-Jorgensens the advance
of the Bucks was checked and an oppor
tunity was given Gen. Bacon to form
his tiring line. The three officers walk
ed calmly up and down the firing line
steadying the men and displaying the
utmost coolness and bravery
Major Wilkins was shot in the leg
and taken to the rear, where his wound
waa dressed. He then went back to
his command, and five minutes after
ward was shot through the abdomen
He died in less than half an hour there
after.
The fighting was fnrious for the next
fourty-five minutes. A tug that was
near shore was tired on and the pilot's
arm broken. The Indians fought with
bravery, but the discipline of the sol
diers told in the end and the Indians
withdrew to the brush, carrying their
dead and wounded. All night long and
next day firing was kept up, and the
soldier who ventured to show his head
was promptly made a target.
Besides Major Wilkinson six men
were killed and eleven wounded.
Three of the wounded men are seriously,
hurt, but it is not thought that any will
die. The sick and wounded men were
taken to St. Paul in a special oar.

e The Canton Affair.
t On Sunday last the President and his
7 wife attended the funeral of Mrs. Mc
> Kinley's brother George D. Saxton at
r Canton O.
i Saxton was shot and killed Friday
night, near the house of a Mrs. Alt
i house, and the shooting is supposed to
f have been done by Mrs Annie George
- whose alleged relations with Saxton
I caused her husband to divorce her.
r Mrs. George was arrested and placed in
1 jail.
The murder occurred shortly after
dark in Lincoln avenue, a resident St.,
directly in front of the home of Mrs.
Eva B. Althouse, widow of the late
George Althouse, who was regarded as
an intimate friend of Mr. Saxton, and
who not long ago began peace proceed
iugs against Mrs. George, alleging that
the latter had threatened her with vio
lence and death.
When people attracted by the sharp
report of the pistol shots reached the
s|>ot, Mr. Saxton was found prostrate
on the ground, unconscious and appar
ently lifeless. Police officers and doc
tors were summoned, and on their ar
rival they reported life extinct. The
Coroner took charge of the body, which
was removed to an undertaking room.
Police officers found the door to Mrs.
Althouse's home locked and the house
dark. The next door neighbor said Mrs.
Althouse had not been at home for three
days Another neighbor volunteered
the information that the woman
who did the shooting had (indicating
the direction gone to the rear of the
premises, which is toward the outskirts
of the city. The description was that
of a tall woman in a dark gossamer,
and in details tallied close to that of
Mrs. George.
This woman could not be found at
her late residence, having moved. She
was heard of at an uptown resturant
where she boarded at 4:J> o'clock, and
some time later a mortoruian said she
got olra car at mziet avenue, the street
next to that on which Mrs. Althouse
lives. She is said to have threatened
before several persons on a number of
occasions to take Saxton's life because
she asserted he had not kept his prom
ises to her.
Saxton lived in the upper floors of his
business block, where Mrs. George sev
eral years ago conducted a dressmaking
establishment. He ate his meals at the
home of his brother-in-law, Mr. M. C.
Barber. He left Mr. Barber's place,
riding a bicycle, about six o'clock and
that was the last seen of him alive by
friends. The Coroner ordered an autop
sy, after which the body was removed
to the Barber home.
Mr. Saxton was between 42 and 50
: years old and unmarried. He was a
I little above the medium height, of
sandy complexion, and had a round full
- face. He was a successful business
' man and owned considerable property,
principally in real estate According
I to various cases filed in courts his con
nection with the George family began
some fivo or six years ago, when Mrs.
George came from Columbia county
and opened the dressmaking establish
ment in the Saxton block, her husband
remaining behind.
Mrs. George is tall, well built more
• than ordinarily good looking and not
yet middle aged, although her hair is
; pretty well silvered The first public-
I ity giyen to the alleged relations be
> tween landlord and tenant was in a
petition filed by Sample C. Gaorge. tins
band of the woman, who sued Saxton
- for £50.000, alleging the allienation of
his wife's affections. This petition as
: serled that Mrs. George had gone to
) Dakota to secure a divorce from her
i husband at the request of Saxton and
i with money provided by hiru. This
case was kept alive by interpleading for
i several years and finally was dismissed
• without a hearing, but not without pre-
I judice to new proceedings, which were
! begun for 120,000, and on technical
1 grounds the case was earned through
all the courts up to and including the
i Supreme Court of the State, from which
it was remanded for hearing here on its !
merits on Wednesday.
I The case was settled by Saxton pay
' irig George >?L ,HJO. Saxton from first, to
last denied his obligation to pay a cent
in the case, and said he only made this
settlement to avoid the unpleasantness
of further proceedings in court and to
save his friends and relations from an '
noyance. Mrs. George was also plain
' tiff in a number of minor cases agains'
Saxton, which involved the. posession of
' furniture, and so persistent was she in
prosecuting these claims that she caused
' several scenes in the Saxton block in
which police officers were obliged to in
' terfere.
1 The difference in these proceedings '
1 concerned furniture which had been in
Mrs. George's living rooms and dress
■ making apartments. She said Saxton
was wrongfully detaining them and he
1 said thev were held because of failure I
• to pay rent due. Still another ease in j
court was an indictment by the Federal
1 Grand Jury sitting in Cleveland last
1 fall charging Mrs. George with in prop
»' er use of the mails in sending threatening
' letters to Saxton. These letters, it is'
said, were based on Mrs. George's asser
tion that Saxton had promised to marry
her when she would l>e divorced from
her first husband, and contained threats
in case he failed to keep the alleged
promise. Mrs. George gave bond and
v the case was never heard, but the indi
• ctment still stands.
A Mrs. George, it is freely said about
1 town, has often said she would wait nil
'• til the rase between Saxton and George
was settled, and that if Saxton did not
® then marry her she would take his life.
