Ever since that notable interview of
William Penn with Peter the Great
Russia hiss had IA decided leaning tow
ard Americans and American institu,
tons. Now one of the latest items of
cable news is that the Gar has decided
70 arm the Russian army with repeat
irg rifles of the latest American pat
tern. And with two hundred thou
sand Of these well loaded in his strong
arms the Russian Bear will not be a
safe gentleman for the dudes of cent
raj or southern Europe to eeze at.
In fact, there is weight in him yet TO
Tit the European see-saw n way or
the other. And the repeating rifles
will help him amazingly.

way TO destroy that power is to take
away the right of suffrage. A govern
ment by a national commission could
he established which would convince
the pbople that they must look TO the
federal government for their material
prosperity rather than to their church.

Postmaster General Gresham propos
es a new move against the lottery swim
d!es. Under a United States law it is
provided that: mo letter or circular
concerning 10 teries shall be carried in
the mail Any person who shall know
ingly deposit or send anything to be
conveyed by mail in violation of this
section shall be punishable by "a fine of
not more than $500 nor less than 500,
with costs of prosecution" General
Gresham believes that the time has
come when 1t should be demonstrated
that the federal statutes forbid any
correspondence of any kind regarding
lotteries. 1t is probable that if the
purchaser of a lottery ticket is to be
held to the punishment provided by
the statute, he will hest tate about
mailing his order for a ticket.

Our New City Government.

The time fixed upon in the charter for
the city of jamestown to elect its officers
is the first Saturday in April, which is
Just five weeks from tomorrow, and it
would be well to begin to think upon the
subject and consider the matters of I'M
portance connected with it, and for the
parpose of directing public thought to
the subject the Alert would make few
suggestions. The mayor, who will be
the chief executive, should be man of
cool and level head, so that he may exer-
else his functions and authority with dis
cretion and good judgment, weighing
every matter that comes before him with
dellberation and care. He should be q
man of resolution and decision of eharac-
ter SO as to perform his duties without
fear or favor and regardless of every con-
sideration other than that Of right and
duty. The aldermen who together with
the mayor as the presiding officer Of the
body compose the city council, or legis-
latlve department OF the city govern
ment, should be men Of both moral in-
tegrity and business acumen. Upon that
department ali Others largely depend for
it is the power that makes and unmakes.
They should be men who can comore
hend the present aud grasp the future.
Men who are neither penurious nor
profhgate. Men who have a just pride
in the development OF all tie material
interests and Industries Of the city and
are above such feeling as petty business
jeaieusles. Men who are free from nar..
row prejudices aud who have broad and
liberal ideas. Men who have had vaned
experience aud have pre1ised by that ex-
periencc. Men OF good sold judgment
and sense, and vino have correct ideas Of
liberty and law, and who will weigh
matters brought before the body for con-
sideration with unbiased deliberaiion.
1t is of more than ordinary Importanco
that the first council be superior one for
it will have to set the machinery ~
motion and supply many of the matefial
parts by legislation. The financial part
of the machinery should be guarded with
scrupulous care, and every present inter-
est should receive due consideration, -
the future be provided for . far esl
dhlo.

Come and See for Yourself.

In our recent visit down in Illinois we
found the great theme of public interest
to be Dakota. But little was said by any
OF the people about ony other country.
The thousand and one questions asked in
reference to this country gives proof Of
the interest felt in it and the desire for all
possible information IN relation to it. The
ideas of the people about this country are
high and still they cannot as yet bear the
whole truth. To tell them that town
lots out in the prairie sell from $1OOtO
$500 is to expose one'e self to the offer of
a jack-knife as the champion liar of the
locality. The truth is very few will be-
lleve the whole truth of the development
and boom Of this country until they have
been here long enough to see 1t for them
selves. Thousands are letting the golden
opportunities for investments slip be-7
cause of their unbellef, just as the early
settlers in that state did.
No country in the world offers better
and more profitable investments than
Dakota, but these will not always remain
untaken. The shrewd and far-slghted
are gathering them in every day, and Is
years from now hundreds will look back
and recall the golden opportunities they
let pass by and wonder how they could
have been so stupid as to do it, just as
many of the early settlers Of Illinois, Iowa
Wisconsin and Michigan are now doing.
In those times, however, the public lands
could only be obtained by purchase at
Sl.25 per acre, but now and In this coun-
try they cannot be purchased but are Civ
en- to the settler. The millionaire can OBJ
tain no more than the poor man, nor
upon any better condit1ons. The poor
tlller Of the soil III those states labors
from third to one-half the time for
the owner of The land he works,
here he may labor all the time
for himself. Here he sees the
beautiful land but 1t IS far beyond his
financial reach. There he may may go
out and settle npon as pretty 160 acres
of land as the eye OF man ever beheld and
it is his own, and his right is as secure as
the foundation of the government.

Shot by a Woman.

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 2S-Edward Daily,
a farmer living near Columbia, aged As,
father of large family, was shot and
killed by Mrs. Pearson last night at the
residence Of the latter, in this place.
Baily had formerly been visitor at the
house, and damage suit Of So, 900 was a
few months ago instituted against him by
Mrs. Pearson foran alleged assault COM
mited during one Of his visits. Since that
time the parties have been on unfriendly
terms. Last night he visited the house
again, Mrs. Pearson being alone wit her
children and her husband absent in the
country. He sought admittance through
the house and into the hall at the rear
door of her room whan she fired on him
twice with pistol. The grst shot glanced
on his side doing some demage and as he
turned away she fired again with fatal
effect, the shot entering just under his
left shoulder blade producing death in
stantly.

R&. Edward Ingerso1l.


 Rev. Edward Ingersoll, D. D., died at Buffalo, N r., Tuesday. He was born in 1910 in this city, in house which was after ward known as the Park Hotel, on Chapel street, opposite the Green.
 Rev. Dr. Ingersoll was the son of Ralph Ingersoll, and survived his three brothers Ralph I. Ingersol, Charles A. Ingersol and Jonathan Ingerse1. All four of the broth CTS became prominent in public life. Ralph l. was during his life time a member of Congress and United States minister to Rus sia ]; Charles A. was judge of the United States District court, and Jonathan attained some distinction. Ex-Governor Ingersoll ex-Congressman Colin M. Ingersoll and Jonathan Ingersoll, clerk of the Superior court, are nephews of the deceased rector.
 Rev. Dr. Ingersoll graduated from Yale in the class of 1S32- President Porter was one of his classmates. Upon leaving college he pursued his theological studies at the general theological seminary in New York, and after his graduation and ordination entered upon the pastorate of the Episcopal church at Westport. He was subsequently, located in Meriden and Troy, going from the latter place to Buffalo. There, as has been stated, he was rector of Trinity church for contin- uous period of some forty years During his pastorate he was offered the positions of assistant rector of Trinity church, New York, and Of Ss.- John:s Brooklyn, but so strong bond of love had grown up be tween him and his Buffalo parishioners that he refused the more lucrative offers to 20 elsewhere. He was man of very scholarly attainments, an eloquent preacher of the solid, conservative kind, and had attractive personal traits which made him deeply be- loved by his congregation and his whole body of acquaintancss. He had high stand ing among the clergy of his denomination, having repeatedly represented his diocese in the national convention. and being at the time of his death 8 member of the standing committee of the diocese of New York :
 Soon after entering the ministry pr. h. gersoll married Miss Catherine Seymour, 8 Savannah lady, then residing in this city with her mother. They had five children, four of whom, three sons and daughter, are still living. Mrs. Ingerson died some years ago.
 The deceased had for some days been in disposed, but was able to be about. He con. ducted funeral service Tuesday afternoon and walked home from the church. Not long afterwards, while sitting in his parlor he was stricken down and few minutes latel expired. His age was 73 years
