Who OWNS Inc ChnnnrlY

Senator Cullom's resolution Of inquiry,
offered and adopted by the senate, calling
upon the secretary of war for information
as to whether st. Clair flats canal lies in
whole or in part on Canadian territory, is
based upon unofficial, but as the senator
thinks. Trustworthy information. which
has come to him as chairman of the col
mittee to investigate our commercial re-
lations with Canada. Though he .resolu-
tion refers only to st. Clair flat, the sena-
tor has information which leads to n grave
suspicion that the Detroit river, Amherst
burg and Sault Ste. Marie carai, are also
in part in Canadian territory, a fact which
has important incidental benring upon the
matter of retaliation. The following is al
extract from n letter received from a prom
inent business man whose name Senator
Cullom does not feel at liberty to publish,
as the letter is a private one, but whose
business gives the writer thorough famili-
arity with the subject in hand: Dear Sir:
Noting the provisions of the so-called re.
talitOry bill now reported to the house of
representatives and that the president is
to have authOrityto cause Canadian YES els
to pay 20 cents per ton for the navigation
of our canals Mt Lake st. Clair aud 500, 1
wonder if it has been considered that all
our lake commerce passes through Detroit
river Mt and near Amherstburg i'll Canadian
waters. We have sent hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars to improve the British
channel and neglected our own. Now
comes the tug of retaliation aud Canada
may sink this costly channel full of stone-
ladcn barges and stop all navigation of
the Detroit river to vessels load 4 decpcr
than nine or ten feet of water. Senator,
there is no fool like an American fool.

his recovery. Several physicians were
called in for consultation, and it was de-
cided that an operation vas necessary. It
was performed and he at once rallied, but
shortly after took u sudden relapse, and
from that time until the end death was
momentarily expected. Mr.. Smith was
only q years of age, but had already taken
high rank in his chosen profession and

time he was editor of his college paper.
He wen to Kansas City and served in a

his position in n year to take charge of the
ellis opera house Mt Kansas City. He
managed the Gillis for one season, and
then returned to st. Joseph to accept a
position as associate editor Of the Herald.
and on the retirement of Mr.. John Strong
he became managing editor, which posi-
ton he held until his death. He was very

A PROBABLE JUDGE.

Born in 1856, at Philadelphia. Re-
moved to Lambertville, n. j., about
1869. Received an academic education
and commenced the study of law. In
the fail of 1877 went to Philadelphia and
entered the Office of Francis Rawle, now
treasurer of the American Bar asSOcia-
ton. Entered the law department of
the University of Pennsylvania in 1877
and secured his degree, Bachelor of
Laws" from that institution in 1879.
Admitted to practice in Philadelphia
early in that year. Removed to New
Hope, Pa, in the fall OF 1879 and COM
menced the practice of law there, where
he continued until 1882. Admitted in
1882 to practice in the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, and
shortly thereafter, in the summer of
1882, came to Dakota and located at
Hope, Steele county, where he
entered upon the practice of the law,
remained at Hope until the spring of
1885, when he removed to Grand Forks.

attorney of Grand Forks county at the
last general election on the Democratic
ticket, came to Fargo in the spring of
1887 and entered the Office of Ball,
Wallin Il Smith, attorneys, and is still

WASHINGTON. June S.-Concerning
the alleged indifference of the Demo
cratic party in the matter of the admis-
sion of Dakota to the Union of States,
Hon. William NJ. Springer said this
morning: 1T is tiresome, but not irk-
some to me, to hear that old and miser-
cradle lie. Every Republican who talks
about Democratic Indifference to the
rights of Dakota knows in his
heart and teeth that he is low
and nasty prevaricator. He knows
that his words are as false as
the father of lies can make them. The
Democratic party is in favor of the adj
mission of Dakota in time even to let
her vote at the coming presidential
election, and her admission could have
been accomplished during the last .con-
gress but for the pig-headedness of the
Republican seceSSiOniStS, who seem de-
termined to sever the union of the
great territory. That was once tried
on large scale, and it is not
popular doctrine in this coun-
try. Dakota can come into the
Union, one and inseparable, and | shall
vote for her admission at any time, and
at all times. Let the Republicans but
give us an opportunity and we should
soon make state of the territory. She
is big enough, populous enough, and
wealthy enough for statehood. No one
can advocate her admission with more
enthusiasm than do. Republicans are
dissemblers when they pose as the
friends of Dakota. They know that the
Democratic party to man wants state
hood for DakOta.''

Perils and Adventures Among the
Fierce Sioux i'm the War Periods.

Interpreter and trader, was born Feb.
%, 1914, at st. Louis, his father being
of French extraction and his mother a
Creole. He is small. wiry little man,
VIVA all the French vivacity and polite
ness, and in. his quiet way has an ex-
traordinary amount of courage and dar-
ing. In company of the celebrated eX-
plorer Clark, and his brother Joseph,
he in 1882 assembled the Missouri and
explored the country as far up as the
fishing a trading post for the American
Fur company, in which company he was
appointed chief clerk and manager.
After innumerable escapes and thrilling
adventures, in one of which his brother
Joseph was killed and scalped at Apple
creek. he returned to the present site of
Pierre and established trading post
there. The country was vast wilder
ness, inhabited by fierce bands of saw
ages. constantly at war with themselves
or other tribes. The life was monoto-
nous in the extreme, with no break in
it, except now and then to stand off
ROWING WAR PARTY,
which he usually did with good success,
and he had to flee for his life. but with
his indomitable courage and hardihood
he always returned and started in again
asif nothing had happened. The Amer
lean Fur company had the greatest con-
fidence in him, and for fourteen years
he proved that their trust was not mis-
placed. In 1S47 he started out for him
self under the firm of Harvey, Primeau
& Co., and for eleven years was princi-
pal manager of that firm, but, having
married the daughter of Capt. Asher in
1857, he sold out his interest in the
firm to V. M. Frost & Co., and started
with his young bride to st. Louis. But
as the latter firm was unable to do any
business with the turbulent Sioux, he
bought them out again in 1859, and went
|. in partnership with his ancient COM
rade, Clark. They consolidated with
the American Fur company, and Mr..
Primeau was appointed clerk and gen.
eral manager of the concern, which po-
sitiOn he held until the breaking out of
the Sioux in 1923. The first he knew
of that trouble was the appearance of
one hundred and fifty armed sayages

| He provided them ammunition if they
would go away and not modest him or
