We have been 10th to believe the story that
white men in Oklahoma burned, two Indians
at the stake, but it appears to b, Il fact Mar
shall Bennett says; eff the Indians had taken
two white boys and burned them at the stake
the white inhabitants of Oklahoma would
have exterminated the whole tribe within
the next 10 days. Put when the white in.
ha5itants of Oklahon, burned at the stake
Two young Indians. one of whom was know n
to be innocent, aud tho guilt of the other was
greatly in doubt, the Indians remained quiet
in their homes and simply appealed to the
Great Father for protection and i%ustice.'' So
1t seems that not onlv were tie Indians
burned. but one of tie victims was innocent.
and thst the guilt of the other was in doubt.
The perpetrators of this terriable outrage
ought to be brought to justice. The federal
government, which is the guardian of the In
dams. should spare no pains or expense to
hunt down the inhun4an wrctches.

family once very wealthy, but reduced by the
good nature of it's head through indorsing for
friends in poverty, which drove the children
and grandchildren to America, where they
had for years a hard struggle with adverse
fate. The young lady's poverty was to me
not a disqualification. 1t rather enGeared her

The Bismarck Tribune of last Saturday
placed the Mclean county beaver farmers
under obligations for another advertising
boom, that had become a anllnost lost sight
of industrr here, since the stiff prices for
farm products and Mclean county grass fed
beef demanded so much attention and
brought so much good money here, and also
the interest in the development Of our coal
mines occupied much attention during the
past year. Then paternalism, whose foster
ing care so many people would seek not alone
for themselves but for our chief industries
has. under the guise of State laws, crippled
the beaver farming enterprise somewhat, as
the State claims all increase until 1898. with
a penalty of 800 for each and every beaver
trapped or killed. While there are still many
beaver farms under the protection of the
stockman of the Douglas river and the Fort
Stevenson c~ustodian-Knife river, in Mercer
county. once the most famous beaver breed
ing grounds in the Upper Missouri Valley.

A Business Proposition.

At the last meeting of the county board it
was decided to bond the county in the sum
of $4,000. Action along this line would
under ordinary circumstances be beneficial,
but the condition of affairs financially makes
the action doubly important at this time. Up
to January 3, 1898, there are warrants to-
gether with principal and interest amount
ing to $lO,643.94 outstanding. From dec
sions rendered by courts it is evident that
the legal existence of a warrant is but six
years, thereafter it being subject to repudi;-
ton, and as a consequence the holde upon
the expiration of Six years procures judg-
ment against the. county for the face and
accumulated interest of the warrant and
thereafter draws 7 per cent on the amount of
the judgment, and in addition to this the
cost of procuring the Judgment is in each
instance assessed against the county
and this alone is by no means a trivial thing.
BY the issuance of $4,000 in bonds together
with receipts from taxes it will be possible
to meet all outstanding obligations against
the county up to January 3, 1893, innedi-
atcly, and thenceforth it is thought that no
difficulty will be experienced in keeping
things within a limit where further action
along this line will be Unnecessary. AL
though it would have been better had it
been possible to bond SO as to place the
county on a cash basis, yet this alone will
make county warrants negotiable at 10 per
cent in advance of current prices. We feel
warranted in stating that the commissioners
are acting wisely and that it will react to the
benefit of the county.

stir in that city by delivering Sunday
night lecture last week which was the
climax of a series of sermons in advo-
cacy of Edward Bellamy's social scheme.
Mr.. Denham is the pastor of the wealth.
lest and most fashionable congregation
in his city, and his radical teachings
have caused much surprise.
The previous Sunday morning he de-
clared that Gods will would be done
on earth as it is done in heaven until
the plan of government advocated by
Edward Bellamy was fully realized.
In his last lecture he declared that
the signs of the times indicated that the
day of its realization is about to dawn.
AS stepping stones to this he advocated
the income tax and the naturalization
of railways, coal mines and telegraph
systems.
One great point presented Ivy the
speaker was that of the inequality Of
land holdings He declared that man no
more made land than he did sunshine
and air, and that he had no more right
to mOnopolize the one than the other. He
also declared that the beatitude blessed
are the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth,' could not be fulfilled outside of
economic equality. He also touched en-
the great paper mill trust that has Just
been effected. and said that such things
hasten the day when the people will
learn to eentralize all industry in the
nation.
These views met with more general
approval in the wealthiest class presa !.
than was to be expected. This was
shown by the enthusiasm of bankers
and others

ing the improvements, S55, 000 Some bust
ness men figure repairs and improvements
at 10 per cent. OF the value of a building;
and as the actual cost of the capitol to
date has been s14,00 900, Architect Clark
deserves credit for economy, and per-
haps a more liberal appropriation for the
Improvement of the building. A great
many improvements are needed still The
fiues on the roof should be connected
with an exhaust fan: for when a north
west wind strikes the dome of the capitol,
it falls like a blanket on the vents of the
fiues and makes the wood fires in the
committee rooms a source> of misery. A
new system of ventilation is needed bad
ly in the hall of the house. At present
the fresh air for the hall is pumped
through apertures in the floor which are
used by some of the members as conven-
lent repositories for tobacco juice. The
frieze should be completed as soon as
possible, and when that Is done the great
dome, which is in condition of indecent
shabbiness, should be re-frescoed. The
money for refinishng the dome will be
forthcoming, no doubt, when the frieze is
finished, and possibly the work will be
undertaken when congress adjourns next
summer 1t will necesstate the erection
of one of the highest scaffoldngs ever
used. From the floor of the rotunda to the
balustrade under the dome is 152 feet 3
inches. OF this space probably 100 feet will
be covered by a scaffolding built up from
the floor and the remainder by a scat
folding hung from the balcony.
The dome is 1875 feet inches in diameter
at its base, and the frescong of it will be
an enormous job.
Finally, the capitol needs a filtering
plant, not alone for the drinking water
used in the building. but for the marble
baths which are provided in the base
ment for the use of senators and members
of the house. And it would not be a bad
idea n decorate abolish
huge wooden boxes filled with sawdust
which stand in the rotunda and the cor
ridors and are an eyesore to visitors.

as the Chamber of Horrors by cleaning
the marble statues there.
The delay in completing the frieze is
not matter of chance. 1t lis due to a
dispute in the committee on library over
the Importance of certain events in ma
tional history. This frieze. begun by Bru-
midi. an Italian artist. in 1878. was partly
done at the time of his death in 1882.
The hanging scaffold on which Brumidi
did his last work remained in place long
time, until another Italian. Gostaggtni.
was employed to carry out Brumldt's de-
signs. The frieze was intended To illus
trate events in the history OF America,
beginning with the discovery by Column
bus. There was no dispute about any OF
the successive cartoons until the last two
subjects were TO be chosen. Then oc-
Cured a decided difference of opinion
Some suggested the driving of the last
spike in the building of the Pacific rail-
roads as an appropriate subject; but OBJ
lection 10 that was made because IL would
introduce the figure of &. l.. Huntington,
and TO many members Of congress MIR.
Huntington has long been a bugbear.
From "A democratic source came the sug-
gestion that a picture of President CleVe-
land touching the button to start the
machinery at the worlds fair would close
fittingly the Columbus cycle. But this met
prompt republican opposition.
The library committee is still seeking
acceptable subjects. Mr.. Woods of Ar
chitect Clarks Office thinks of suggesting
THE Union of the Centuries as appro-
pirate 10 the temporary completion of
the frieze: for ii looks now as though
some one would have to die before an
acceptable permanent cartoon can be
found Meantime the rotunda remains IN
dingy contrast with the corridors OF the
building approaching the chambers Of
the senate and house. which have had a
fresh coat of paint since congress took
a recess.
The paint with which Architect Clark
freshens the capitol every year would
make quite a pond. If Mr.. Clark was
free TO fill the air with turpentine when
congress was in session. he could keer
a force of painters at work the year
round, as Is done on great railroad
bridge in Scotland. Last year Mr.. Clark
painted and restored 5000 square yards
of wall and celH~g, exclusive of commit
tee rooms. There are nearly 200 OF these
committee rooms in the capitol. averaging
1000 square feet of wall space; and OF
