OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AMI
HI CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY, OCT. 8. 1903.

The Republican state committee in
"0h 10 has refused to discuss the issues
Gof the campaign with the Demo-
scrats. There was possibly never a
better rebuke administered. The
Democratic party in Ohio has gone off
after strange gods, and is making
sthe campaign upon issues that are the
rankest heresies. The time was when
The party was a foeman worthy of the
steel In the days when Thurman
--and Carlisle and men Of that stamp
stood as the impersonation Of the
party's principles, even those who
differed from them regarded them
with honor. True, the principles for
which they contended were wrong.
But they we're matters of state and Of
state policies. Able men differed on
the money question a few years ago,
ssand while subsequent events have
eliminated at from the questions Of
national concern, it was an issue
worthy the consideration Of intelli-
gent people. But in the Ohio cam
paign there is none of these lofty
matters at issue. The Democrats have
raised a political wild man from
--Borneo and attempted to make the
counterfeit appear as real by forcing
the Republicans to give a dignity by
"a joint discussion of its merits. The
Republicans declined to do so. The
Democrats are left with a dead body
on their hands, and the stencil is be,
: coming unbearable. They are left
with an issue in which the people
are not interested, and Tom L. John:
: son will go down in defeat under a
larger majority than is usually given
lin Ohio.

There can be no doubt that the
Democratic leaders are seriously con-
ssidering the availability Of General
Miles and Admiral schley for the
two places on the national ticket.
Nothing more could be expected of
General Miles, but those whose
ssypathles were with Schley certainly
have received a serious blow. There
were those who believed that while
$Sahley had acted hastily N the adj
vance on the Cuban ports, and had
possibly erred in the battle of San
Sstiago, that he was more he victim Of
circumstances than otherwise. That
he was a patriot ands, above the petty
chickering's and spites Of his accusers.

THOSE DELINQUENT TAXES.

To the Editor of the Inter Ocean:
The question Of the delinquent taxes
which was. discussed in by a cores
pendent in Mondays 1nter-Ocean, is
more important than is generally sup
posed. Your correspondent is right
on all the questions he dicusssed ex-
cept one, and that is that the city
council, nor any city officer has any
authority to enforce the collection of
these taxes. The city assessment is
simply turned over to the county Off
Gals under the law, and the latter
collects the taxes, and the money be-
comes available to the city from these
collections, If the county fails to
collect these taxes the city suffers
There is no way even, under the law.
y which, the city can enforce thee
collection. So that it can readily be
seen that the fault of the enormous
amounts of delinquent taxes in the
city and the consequent burden of
taxation imposed upon the other tax
payers as a consequence, is not the
fault of the city council. Had they
the power, they would in all probabi-
lily, enforce the collection of these
delinquent taxes as they are among
the heaviest tax payers themselves,
eve. though they did not have the in
terests Of the people at stake. For
these reasons it is not just to hold the
city council responsible for what they
! are powerless to do. What is needed
is a change Of the statute 80 as to
permit the levying and collecting of
taxes for city purposes Independent of
the county.

The Democratic party in Massa-
chusetts has adopted a platform favor
ing reciprocity and proclaims itself
: the van guard of this doctrine. The
wonder is that a state party possessing
the high degree of intelligence the
Massachusetts, Democracy does, should
bluIder in such a matter. It is the
same old Rip Van Wrinkle style of the
Democratic party. They feast on the
Zones from which the Republicans
have eaten the sinews, twenty years
after the latter occurs. The Republi.
a party under the leadership Of that
brilliant statesman, the Plumed
Knight Of Maine, advocated and
taught the doctrine and when one Of
the late tariff measures which carried
"a reciprocity provision was on it's final
passage in congress the Democratic
majority objected to it's passage on the
ground that the reciprocity clause
was unconstitutional, because il
authorized the executive branch of the
government to FIX the imposts, a RICH
which belonged only to congress
Those who have followed the policies
of the Democratic party for the las
few years need not be surprised to SCI
them thus accept the very doctrine
they once opposed. That has beel
the record of that party for a quartz
of a century. They have advocates
she doctrines taught by the Republi
can party a score of years after tn
circumstances which called them fort
have been dead. Reciprocity is dis
>.tinctively a Rep ublican doctrine. l
lis as much one Of the articles Of fait
of that party as is the tariff. Whe
the Democrats endorse it they onl
give another proof Of the fact tina
as a political party there is no nee
of is e%xistance.

TRAIN FALLS 1900 FEET.
Awful Plunge Into 4 Canyon on the
d. and r.. g.

special to the New York World from
Canyon City, Col. yesterday says: Three
engines and twenty cars of a freight train
jumped the Denver and Rio. ,Grande track
in Royal Gorge this afternoon and plunged
into the Arkansas river sheer fall of
1900 feet.
The engines have not yet been found.
Ten freight cars are also missing. The
river is very deep and high, and the cur
rent runs at terrific speed.
The three engineers. a fireman and a
brakeman have disappeared in the wreck.
The accident occurred near Hanging
bridge, in the Royal Gorge, about six miles
east of Canyon City. 1t is the most pic
turesque railroad spot in the west. The
gorge is only fifty feet wide, but the rocks
rise perpendcularly from the Arkansas
river to a height of more than a third of a
mile.
The freight train was bound east. Two
of the engines were dead being drawn
along with the cars. Without warning the
locomotive that was furnishing the power
jumped the track, bumped along on the
ties for a few feet and then plunged into
the abyss. dragging the other engines and
ten of the cars after it.
Two of the fremen jumped. The engi-
neers refused to leave their posts and fell

WANTED TO MARRY BROTHER.
Henrietta Distler Killed Herself When
She Found That impossible.

A dispatch from Cincinnati says: Heart
broken because she could not marry her
brother. Miss Henrietta Distler, aged
eighteen, committed suicide by taking
poison. The girl and her brother
George. aged twenty, came to this country
when they were infants. They lost their
parents and were cared for in the chill
dren's home in this city.
Subsequently the girl was adopted by
Herman Niederhelm and the boy by an.
other family. A year ago an intense af-
lection sprang up Between the two and
later their relation was made known to
them. The two young people continued to
see each other until two weeks ago, when
the young man discontinued his visits.
Dstler met her Tuesday afternoon and
told her that he could not marry her. She
then returned to her home, took paris green,
and died several hours later. She left a
pitful farewell letter. in which she de-
clared her love for her brother and re-
quested him not to marry for two years
after her death. 1arE -es --s-

1 was F. and I was soon deep in bust
ness. But / was readily able to identify
those who came from curiosity, and as the
persons who had really fulfilled the condi-
tions expressed in my advertisement were
few, an evening and mornings work suf-
feed to sift the whole matter down to the
one man who could tell me just what
wanted to know. With this man went to
the major. and result we all met later
in the day at Mr.. Moores door.
This gentleman looked startled enough
when he saw the number and character of
his visitors; but his grand air did not for
sake him and his welcome was both digni-
fled and cordial. But did not like the way
his eye rested on me.
But the slight venom visible in 1t at that
moment was nothing to what he afterward
displayed when at a slight growl from
Ridge, who stood in an attitude of offense
in the doorway beyond drew the atten-
ton of all to the dog by saying sharply:
There Is our witness, sirs. There is the
dog who will not cross the street even
when his master calls him, but crouches on
the edge of the curb and waits with eager
eyes but immovable body, till that master
comes back. Isn't that SO, Mr.. Moore !?
Have not heard you utter more than one
complaint in this regard?'

side of the street.
which Mr. Moore gave up the struggle.
"Rudge go back to your place. When
you wanted in the court room l will
let you know"
The smile with which he said this was
