dentally to become the possessor of vast
wealth at the gambling table, believing
as many men have done before that the
institution was purely philanthrophic,
founded for the benefit of comparatively
INDECENT gentlemen like himself. Mr..
Stark waged his earthly possessions in
dollar and two dollar bets on the high
card and the turn, eventually losing his
entire fortune and hitting the ceiling
with a hollow PUNK in a financial way.
Thercupon Mr.. Stark applied his sys-
TEN, which consisted of a six chambered
revolver directed at the head of the
dealer, accompanied with an admonition
to put forth immediately the contents of
the bank. The system worked perfectly
and Mr.. Stark broke the bank, leaving
the place with some 1926 in cash and the
satisfied sensations of a man who has
made a discovery. The police ultimately
arrested Mr.. Stark, and forced him to
disgorge his plethora of wealth, but the
proprietors of the game did not appear
to prosecute the %discoverer of the sys-
TEN ard he went free. The incident is
worthy of commemoration if for no other
reason than to prove that there is a
method by which to beat a man at his
W game.

Attention is called to the fact that the
state of North Dakota is just ten years
old. Ten years ago Thursday President
Harrison affixed his signature to the doc
umcnt making North Dakota one of the
sisters of the union of states. Miracu,
lous flight of time. Only a few years
ago the broad prairies of North Dakota
were dotted with the tepees of the red
Indians, the buffalo wandered at will
over the grassy plains and the pioneer
settler paused between breaths in the
tilling of the soil to see if his scalp was
on straight. Yesterday the sod shack,
the OK team, the prairie schooner and
the warwhoop of the untamed redman
and today the %soirec, the pink tea, the
golf links and the red shirtwaist. Fleet
footed civilization! The frontier scout,
the buckskin clothed trapper, the buffalo
hunter-these pioneer characters in the
development of the great west have
passed from view. They have given
away to the bunko man, the gold brick
expert, and the book agent! Yesterday
the blockhouse where tho stern pioneer
maiden stood with her rifle and Joined
in the defense of the settlement against
the savage, and today the school house
where the maiden yields the rod and
lambastes the reluctant youth along the
paths Of knowledge. The frontier is
passing from view. 1t is being eXpunged
from the records and ere we realize the
mighty change that has come over the
land there will be an air of metropoli-
tanism all around. All that will remain
of pioneer days will be memory and a
few reservation Indians. The pipe of
peace has gone out and the descendant
of the prehistoric Indian chieftain putfs
a cigarette and prays for the next beef
issue. Ere long we will have the vaude-
vile, the boulevard, the dude and the
automobile and the.etfete east will be
west Of us. The mustang has disap-
peared into the interior of the corned
beef can We have taken the feathers
from u scalp locks and the fringe from
II trousers and we have affected the
derby hat and the spike tail coat and
the lorgnette and the prohibition law.
We have learned to eat olives and pate
de fois grass. Mr.. Colts 44-calibre
equalizer has gone into the discard. We
have soap and toilet water and silver
hair brushes with monograms on 'em.
We have ~soirees, musicales, pink teas
and functions, and we have golfers in
plaid cloaks and populists with whiskers.
We are only ten years old, but we are a
great state.

Mr.. Alfred Austin, the English poet
laureate, along a few lengths be-
hind Mr.. Kipling and Mr.. Swinburne
with a war sonnet or epic or lyric or
whatever it may be. Mr.. Austin's pro-
duction is a little late for the big show
but it will probably be worked someway
into the program for the concert. The
English poets are administering some
terrific body blows to Uncle Kruger, but
the old man of the Transvaal seems to
be a glutton for punishment in this line,

when we were boys" Mr.. Mckinley is
still in the early prime of life, but the
map Of the United States has been
changed many times since he was born,
and always enlarged, observes the st.
Louis Globc-D Democrat. The place in
which he spoke at South Dakota vas
part of the United States at the time of
tho presidents birth in 1874, but it was
in the great wilderness and was inhab-
tied by only Indians and wild beasts, ex-
cept at Il few spots where there were
military posts or trading stations of the
fur dealers. The Dakotas were the
hunting grounds of the Sioux, and the
president was Z years of age before the
first section of that state to be given up
by the Indians was coded to the govern
ment. The first permanent settlement
in South Dakota, that at Sioux Falls,
was not started until the president was
IL years old, yet South Dakota has now
100000 inhabitants. At the time the
president was born the United States
was engaged in a long controversy with
Great Britain as to the ownership of the
region called the Oregon country, COM
prising all the territory west of the
Rocky mountains and north of the pres
ent northerly line of California, Nevada
and Utah-the locality divided up into
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with
part of Montana and Wyoming. This
region did not become United States
territory until 1S4G. A year before that
time, when the president was a year old,
the republic Of Texas was annexed, and
three years later, in lS4S, the great do
main then called New Mexico and Cali
fornia, which comprised, in addition to
the present territory and state of that
name, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and part
of Colorado and Wyoming, wa added to
the possessions Of the United States.
Nobody, of course, thought at that time,
or for many years afterward, of the an
nexation of Russian America, which has
figured on the American maps of the
past thirty-two years as Alaska.

Bismarckers of the old time and
pioneer residents of the Missouri slope
will remember Gen. w. B. Hazcn, whose
widow is to we'd Admiral Dewey. The
general was an army officer in command
of military forts along the upper Mis-
souri, river way back in the early seven
ties. He was stationed at Forts Rice and
Buford, and the memory of the famous
letter the general wrote to the New York
Herald or some other eastern paper will
live long in the memory of old timers.
He stated that North Dakota was the
arid region-the uninhabitable spot. 1t
never rained upon it's extent, he said,
and there were huge cracks in the earth
from the drouth so wide that it was dan
gerous for horses on the open prairie.
The tenor of the letter was distasteful
to residents of the slope and of the state,
who were engaged in the laudable work
of bringing in as many settlers as posi-
BILE to populate the state and make times
better. The general aroused the criti-
cisms of the then limited press of the
state and many are the references to the
generals letter to be found in the issues
of the Tribune back in 1873 and 1874,
whenever an unusually large potato or
pumpkin was produced, and the fact of
its production referred to the general.
And it wa a peculiar fact that whenever
General Hazen came to Bismarck after
the writing of that letter it rained, which
the same the general had said it never did.
1t rained torrents, waterspouts, and ar
tesian wells, and the fact was always al
luded to with the explanation that Cen
eral Hazen was in town. The general
was finally forced to admit that the eli
mate had undergone a distinct change
since the writing of the letter.

Although this is an off year in politics,
there is enough at stake in the elections
tomorrow to interest the voters of the
country. The principal issue in the
election is the governorship contest in
Ohio, since this is the state where the
election has been fought on what will be
the issues of che presidential campaign
next year. Of course there are many
local issues entering into the fight, which
is a three cornered one with an indie
pendent candidate who will draw some
votes from both sides. The Kentucky
election will also be interesting inasmuch
as there is a revolt with the better class
of democrats against Goebel, who ap.
pears to have control both Of the demo.
cratic machine and the state ballot box.

The Minnesota delegation wants the
two Dakotas annexed to the Minnesota
internal revenue district and according
to the Fargo Forum, business men of
North Dakota-it is claimed-are anxi-
u to be so attached" just why North
Dakota should continually play second
fiddle with Minnesota in all these mat
ters is not quite clear. Why cannot
North and South Dakota form an indie
pendent revenue district? If that com
bination cannot be effected then let us
go in the Montana district on a par with
our sister on the west-instead of occu-
plying the position of posterior append
age to Minnesota's kite. "Your Uncle
Loren" of Minnesota has made himself
obnoxious to North Dakotans in more
ways than the one in relation to the
Standing Rock leadership, and we are
not in position just yet to accept the
proposition of the Minnesota delegation
in relation to the revenue district.

The acknowledgements from Spain that
through ignorance the American COM
missioners overlooked three ofthe islands
of the Philippine archipelago, and that
these islands belong to Spain. This
statement is denied promptly by the
state department of this country. We
forget just how many islands were trans
ferred in our little real estate dicker with
Spain, but there were several thousand
of 'em more or less, some slightly shop
worn and in bad repair, but as we recol-
lect the terms of the treaty the islands
were sold to us in a bunch. While per-
haps we should not miss a few islands
until we came to taking census or lining
up the Philippine voters on the right
side of some proposition, yet we bought
EN- all and as a matter of principle we
shall stick for the whole assortment.

Though an American army of 10000
men will be operating on the other side
of the Pacific by the end of the year the
revcnue of the United States is greater
than the expenses. Probably no other
country ever achieved such a result
while prosecuting a war or the same
scale. The treasury is ahead on the fis-
cal year which began July l and also
ahead on the ten months Of 1899 that
have elapsed. Last October the deficit
of the month was s14,3352,226. This year
there is a surplus for October Of S3,O0O,-
600. The first surplus since war prepar-
atoms began appeared last march and
was followed by a surplus of over $780,
100000 in May and June. The first
month of the present fiscal year, July,
showed a deficit of sS,506,S3 but Au-
gust, September and October wipe that
out with Il margin Of over S3,OOO,OO0.
Since Jauary l last there have been five
months with a surplus and four with a
deficit. October calls for a heavy pen
sion payment, but the welcome monthly
surplus is reported as has been usual of
late. Unless something unforeseen hap
pens there will be a handsome surplus
at the end of the fiscal year.

A brief dispatch from London states
that the Prince of Walas has begun to
be worried with regard to the situation
in South Africa. This would indicate
the serious nature of the situation for
we do not recall a time when the prince
was worried with regard to the govern
ment or it's affairs before, unless it be,
perhaps, the longevity Of his esteemed
mother. But so great the princes per-
turbation, we understand, that the other
evening he discarded a pair of aces and
called with a bob tail hand. When the
great men of a nation reach this state of
mental agitation it is indicative of the
severe nervous strain to which they have
been subjected.
