The Schley court Of inquiry
works on like clock. One in
teresting fact in connection
with it has been generally
overlooked. 1t is this-that
Captain Lemly, Schley's prose
cutor before the court, was one
of the six survivors of the i'll
fated Greedy expedition. These
six we're snatched from the
very portal of death by this
same Schley, gallant sailor and
gentleman. When Schley
reached them, standing his
weary watch for twenty hours
out of twenty.four in the crows
nest of his vessel, eating cold
grub passed up on ropes end,
going far into the arctic seas
six weeks earlier in the spring
than any man had ever done,
the surgeons said that Lemly
was within thirty six hours Of
death from starvation. Aud
Schley saved him; saved him
by courage, heroism, selfdenial
and superhumau energy. In,
gratitude is base. Many men
would have resigned their com.
missions before they would
have accepted the appoint
ment as Judge advocate-pros.
ecuting attorney. so to speak
in the present investigation.
But Lemly seems to glory in lit,
to be even overzealous as a pros
ector Had it not been for
Schiey, Lemly would now be Il
dead ensign, with his bones
bleaching in arctic SHOWS, in.
stead of a live captain.-Champ

MARSHALL. Mo, Nov ., 1901.
Dear Sir,
Enclosed you will find
one dollar to pay for your pa
per another year, we cannot get
along without the DEMOCRAT.
We like Marshall very much.
1t is strictly a church and
school town. The Colony for
feeble minded is advancing as
rapidly as pushing men and
money can make it. When fin
ished it will be a great credit
to our city. We have four
school buildings manned by our
Sup't., four Principals and
twenty five other teachers.
This with our of the first class
colleges of the state enrolling
$50 pupils, and convent makes
Marshall as l have said, a
school town. About 1900
pupils are getting an education
in our city (and these do not
include the feeble mlnded.)
Our minds often go back to

Hoping this may be of some

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Washington, D. c., Nov. g.
The president today issued "a
proclamation fixing Thursday,
November %, as the day of ma
tional thanksgiving.
Proclamation: The season is
nigh when, according to the
timehallowed custom of our
people, the president appoints
a day as especial occasion for
praise and thanksgiving to
God. This Thanksgiving finds
the people still bowed with
sorrow for the death of a great
and good president. We mourn
President Mckinley because we
so loved and honured him and
the manner of his death should
awaken in the breast Of our
people a keen anxiety for the
country and at the same time a
resolute purpose not to be driv.
en- by any calamity from the
path of strong. orderly, pop
ular liberty, which as a nation
we have thus far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great dis
aster it is nevertheless true no
people on earth have such
abundant cause for thanksglv
ing as we have. The past year
in particular has been one oil
peace and plenty. We have
prospereI in things material
and have been able to work fol
our own uplifting in things in,
tellectual and spiritual.
Let us remember that. as
much has been given us, much
Will be expected from us and
that true homage comes from
the heart as we'll as from the
lips and shows itself in deeds.
We can best prove our thank
fulness to the Almighty by thr
way in which on this earth auC
at this time each of us does his
duty to fellowmen.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the
United States, do hereby desig
nate as a day of genera
thanksgiving, Thursday, tn,
28th of this present November
. and do recommend tina
throughout the land the PEG
pie cease from their wonted oc
equations and at their severa
homes and places of worship
reverently thank the giver o
all good for the countless bless
ings of our national lie.

ONLY ONE TERM.

Elk Senator Blackburn's Account of
His Interview with the President.
During the time they we're in
the house together Joseph G. S.
Blackburn of Kentucky and Will
liam Mckinley of Ohio were great
friends personally, though always
in radical opposition as to politics.
AS a consequence the Kentuckian
is sure of a warm welcome when
ever he calls at the white house.
"The last time I was at the execu-
tive mansion" said Mr.. Blackburn
a few days ago, "was in response
to a personal invitation from the
president to call. Mr.. Mckinley
appeared anxious to obtain my
opinion of the political outlook for
the future. I told him frankly
that in my Judgment he could not
DO reelected. He seemed sur

While the senate is sorely pres
sed for time to consider national
legislation of the highest impor-
lance, including the reduction Of
the war taxes and the appropria-
ton bills, to say nothing of the
urgent request of the president for
the passing of a measure providing
for civil government in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Fowne had the gall to
take up three of its precious hours
on Monday in a theatrical display
of the rhetorical verbosity which
he fondly imagines to be oratory.
No one has any objection to Mr..
Towne's exhibitions of verbal
pyrotechnics provided they are
put upon the stage at the proper
time and place, but that the urgent
business of the nation should be
forced to wait while he. got off his
.effusion of shallow magniloquence
was taxing the courtesy Of the SEN
ate to an unwarrantable extreme.

both you and your administration.
You cannot help it that I can see.
You are not responsible %You. are

either of us or, in fact, anyone
alive today will live to see an ad-

Office. Public sentimentTin this
country changes too rapidly.
What the public wants today and
gets it is certain not to want to-
morrow What did the president
say? Well, he told me that he
didn't agree with me, but that he
would always be glad to SCENE at
the white house whenever I felt
inclined to call. I reminded MI.
Mckinley that Polk had not been
reelected, although his admins
tration had fought the Mexican
war, which brought a large addi-
ton to our territory. Mr.. McKin-
ley is a gentleman and an able
politician, but he cannot succeed
himself. No president can or
ever will succeed himself during
the lifetime of the present genera
ton"

ROOM FOR MORE.

There is room in the Devils
Lake land district for a large num-
Der of progressive farmers who are
DESTROYS of lettering their condi-
tions, and such are invited to come
and inspect the openings for them
selves. They will find here a pro-
gressive, kind hearted people, good
schools and churches, such as it
would take years to establish in an
entirely new country, and surely
these are no mean advantages.
But there is something else here
that is Of first Importance to the
farmer, that is the land itself.
Ours is the virgin soil, rich and
productive, and those who till it
prosper: There is no doubt about
that, as the numerous instances of
successful farming reported from
time to time, have clearly estab-
lished. Many who have come
here with a little money and in
vested in land have been able to
realize from one or two crops all
their farms cost them, and what
better recon mendation than that
can any country have?
From the eastern states this
year will come many young mel
in search Of homes. They will
not be penniless immigrants, but
persons Of some means, and te
such this part of the state holds
forth cheerful inducements. While
land is constantly increasing il
value, still there are many farms
that can be purchased at a bar
gain, and which in a few years
would be the means of enrichine
industrious owners.
The Inter-Ocean wants peoplete
come here for two reasons: First
it desires to see a substantial in
crease in the population of Devils
Lake and surrounding country
and, secondly, it realizes that no
where can the handwriting anc
economizing tiller of the soil rear
greater reward than in this LAND
of productiveness.

Monday was John Marshall day
and the observation was somewhat
general. Many eloquent tributes
were paid to the great chief JUS
tice whose memory has been SO
kindly cherished by the. American
people, but there was no fulsome
praise. That could not be in his
case, for a nobler character than
John Marshall never lived. AS
patriot, statesman, man and Chris
tian he was all that could have
been desired, and his countrymen
honor themselves when they pay
tribute to his great name.
