Starkweather Times: On last
Wednesday Frank Loudon, an
American, and III. Reed Hender-
son, a former subject Of Queen
Victoria, drove to Devils Lake
where Mr.. Henderson had some
important business. .s
d They inquired where to find a
certain party and were directed
to the place. By mistake they
called at the home of Russian
living on the outskirts of the city
and Frank raped at the door.
Mr.. Henderson happened to be
standing in front Of a window
and the occupant inside iname-
diately opened fire with a a44-cali-
bre revolver. The. English and
Americans at once fled in full
retreat and utter rout, never
stopping until they were safe
inside the round house.

Uncle Sam and Johny Bull were
brave enough and their action
can not be attributed to coWar.

Capt. Anderson
Talks Pr e:rity

apt. 4. Anderson is not much
given to newspaper not toriety,
but sionally he is in a mood
to do so. and then he has a story
worth the telling. This was the
mood the captain was in this
week when he paid the Inter-
Ocean a call.
He is a West Virginian by
birth, but for several years has
been in the west. He came to
Ramsey county five years ago,
and purchased 240 acres, Of land,
and built a reside dence. In these
he invested all his money. Now
he owns 48O acres Of the best
land in the county, does not owe
a dollar and has more money in
bank than he brought to the
state. The genial captain never
boasts Of his own success, and
only.gave these facts toathe quill
driver to show the possibilities
Of the country. He does not
stop at, farming, but has a herd
Of thoroughbred shorthorn cattle
on his. farm, some Of which cost
fancy prices. When asked about
the. poor crops this year and crop
failures in this county.she said he
had. never had a crop failures
| and that poor crops came because
| of poor cultivation and late
planting as a rule. Those who
know Mr.. Anderson are aware
that he not only has his land in
the best possible condition, but
that he is always at work early
| in the spring. Fl ON one quar-
ter this year he sold. grain to the
extent Of 81, 585. .65 and says $500
would more than cover his ex-
penses.
The captain tells an amusing
story. fan experience with, some
farmers in his old eastern home,
while on a visit there's a few
years ago. Some farmers were
looking at his thresh-bilI memo
dun which was about $500
and thought it was the sale-bill
lof his crop, and was wonl a.ing
who he raised SO much, but when
told that what they thought re-
presented the whole crop was
lonly the thresh-bill, they nearly
tainted and declared such q
thing could. not be possible.

Promoted By Puns.

Canon Melville. who died the other
day in his ninety-second year, owed
his earliest promotion to a pun, af-
firms a London paper. When the late
Earl of Dudley, who knew Mr.. Melville
sufficiently to remember that his Chris
tain name was David. had a living at
his disposal he received a letter con-
tanning only the words, Lord, re-
member David" The Earls reply was
no less terse and Scriptural: Thou art
the mani Perhaps the earliest in
stance of ecclesiastical promotion won
by a pun is that of a curate named Jo-
seph, who was prompted by Swift TO
take this text for a sermon preached in
ST. Patricks Cathedral. Dublin, before
the viceroy, Butler" the Duke of Or
mond: Yet did not the chief butler
remember Joseph, but forgat him."
The Rev. DIR. Mountain, who was the
son of a beggar, owed nearly every step
of his successive promotions in great
part to his righteousness. and won the
last step of all by a single jest. When
he was consulted, as Bishop of Dur
ham, by George ii as to the fittest per-
son to fill the vacant archiepiscopal
see of York he replied: Sir, hadst
thou faith as a grain of mustard seed
thou wouldst say to this Mountain
dramatically striking his breast), Be
thou removed and cast into this sea
(see).'" That George II should so I'M
derstand and appreciate the joke as to
accept its suggestion is perhaps the
stIangest part of the story.

Another true story of the cause
of Prince Bismarck's dismissal from

WESTERN REPUBLICANS APA
TExeRaG
APA-


The President is having L few wo:-
ries of his own. His party in Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and Ohio has differences in
its ranks which are calculated to make
the President feel that there is danger
that he will lose one or more of these
states. Doubtless Ohio republicans
will get together before the election,
but the outlook for peace in Wisconsin
and Illinois isn't at all promising.
The main trouble in Wisconsin is thai
there are two factions, and each has
named a set of presidential electors.
II is true each has named the same
candidates, hut under the law of the
state the electors must name the ticket
on which they win run. Therefore, in
order to support the same electors the
factions must get together. That they
don't seem inclined to do
Delegates from one of the factions
went to Washington the first part of
this week to see the President and get
him to interfere in its behalf. He re-
fused to side with either faction. He
knew very we'll that he wouldn't help
matters any by interfering. He was
told that there was a prospect. unless
there was an adjustment of the pending
differences, of the Democrats getting
the state That announcement worried
him, but didn't cause him TO change has
attitude. He practically said that il
he wers 10 interfere in every squabble
that came up in the party over state
matters he would have more than his
hands full. Besides. he wolld do more
harm than good.
! The fight over the nomination for
Governor in Illinois has already caused
.enn1fties which promise to last through
the campaign. And Illinois ISN'T very
strong Republican state. Mr.. Cleveland
Carried it, and there is pretty fair
chance for the Democrats to carry it
! this year.
| 1t Is the danger of losing states like
Wisconsin and Illinois that is worrying
the President. not the troubles that
are disturbing the party there. He
WAS asked to interfere in New York
but, according to the dispatches. he re-
fused though an impression got abroad
that he did interfere. He is liretty GER
tain TO lose that state, however, wheth-
er he interfered or not.
| The Republicans have the reputation
of getting together on election day
however much they may diner among
! themselves during the campaign. bat
it win take a great deal Of harmony
work to get them together IN wiscon-
sin. And it looks as If even Speaker
Cannon couldn't heal the wounds in
nioted IN the fight for the gubernato-
rial nomination in Illinois.

Two old fellows in New Hampshire
were the sharpest things in the way of
bargaining, says the Columbia Record.
Cy Pettingill made brooms for living
and Ezra Hoskins kept a store. One
day Cy came in with a load of broons
and the dickering began.
Cy was a man who could see a bar
gain through a six-inch plank on a
dark night, and Ezra could hear a
dollar bill rattle in a bag of feathers
a mile off. Well, they began, and their
conversation was something like this:
Ezra. l want to sell you these
brooms.'
"'All right, Cy; I'll take them
ICY said: don't want any store
bargains; l want cash for them
They talked and gadded a while,
and then Ezra said: I tell you what
III do, Cy; I'll give you half cash and
half trade.
ICY took a fresh chew of tobacco,
pulled a straw out of one of the brooTns
and said:
"'That'n be all right, Ezra
After he had put the brooms in the
store, Ezra said: Here's your money,
Cy; now what do you want in trader
ICY looked around for a spell, cooked
his eye up to the ceiling, stuck his cud
in his cheek, and said:
We'll, if 1t is all the same for you,
Ezra, I'll take brooms.'

The amazing Platt scandal in New
York not only proves the truth of the
,adage that there is no fool like an old
fool" but brings into view an aoven-
turess who unquestionably possessed
genius in her particular line. Plat, a
hard headed business man who had ac-
cumulated fortune by dealing with
other hard-headed business men, was
actually made to giNe up nearly three
quarters of a million dollars by
the negress. In view OF this
achievement, the game IF the white

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post Dem) says:
"Col. Bryan will be in the st. Louis
convention as a delegate at large from
Nebraska. with a delegation unin-
structed as to candidates, but elected
upon a platform indorsing the declara-
lions Of the Kansas City convention
of 1900 as the eternal principles of
Democracy. The colonel will be the
head and front of the Nebraska rep
resent alton, and will be out to make
trouble. But there will be cohort of
conservatives in the convention
against whose ranks he will charge
in vain and he cannot hope to carry
his way by the vote of Prince David
of Hawaii as he did in 1900"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: Both President Roose-
welt and Mr.. Roosevelt mourn for
Quay. In expressing his profound
sympathy he says IL is both official
and personal Throughout my term
as President, he adds, Senator Quay
has been my stanch and loyal friend.
No one will blame Mr.. Roosevelt for
openly avowing at this time his we'll
known friendly relations with the most
interruptions and corrupt OF politicians
but 1t would at least have been in
better taste to do this unofficially. In
speaking officially he assumes to speak
TO a certain extent for the country
and 1t would be transparent hypocrisy
to pretend that the country sorrows
for the loss of Quay"
The Philadelphia Record CDem)
says: In his Gettysburg address
President Roosevelt falsified history in
asserting that the object of the Civil
War was freedom OF the slaves. Moth
ing is TO be gained by this travesty
of historic truth. The purpose of the
war was restoration of the Union, as
President Lincoln so often repeated
and emancipation OF the blacks was
an episode OF the conflict and a mill
tary necessity. II was the spirit Of
Daniel Webster, who was anything
but an abolitionist, that raised up ar
mics TO fight the battles of the Union.
Gen. Butler expressed the sentiment
OF the country when he described the
fugitive slaves as 'contraband OF war
There is no use in attributing 10 the
American people an excess Of philan-
thropio motives 10 which they made

A NEW coM,.rssroN nrsINEss.

THERE'S a chance for a new factorage
business in this city, a business which
in the course OF time will pay, in all
probability, as well as any commission
business we now have. We refer to
the growing industry of extracting tur-
pentine and other products from pine
wood. This industry is assuming great
proportions. We know, of course. that
the turpentine distilled from wood
doesn't command the price which tur-
pentine distilled from the gum of the
pine tree does, but 1t commands a price
which is profita ble-so profitable that
pine wood distllleries are being estab-
lished all. over the pine belt Of this
state and South Carolina. Not only
is good pine wood used in this pro-
cess of procuring turpentine, but also
the branches, and the stumps of pine
trese. And there are other merchant
able products from the process.
This industry is now in its infancy.
1t is bound TO reach large proportions,
and it is only a question of time-per-
haps short time-when the turpen-
tine will be freed from it's objection
able odor, and then it win command
as good a price perhaps as turpentine
from the gum.
Now is the time for Savannah to
reach out and get control of these
products. They ought to be marketed
through this port. and they would be
in all probability, il there were COM
mission houses here, giving special at
tention to them. They are being mar
keted. but not through this port. We
understand that Baltimore is reaching
out after them, and hopes to become
the great market for them. 1t is a
fact THAT some of the producers are
shipping to that city by rail.
Here in Savannah We are seeking to
increase our commerce. Some of our
naval stores trade has gone from US
because the tributary timber has been
largely worked out. We want some
thing to take its place. Unless we
are greatly mistaken this new turpen-
tine industry in the course of few
years will give us more trade than
we have lost, provided we take hold
of it before it has drifted into the con-
troll of commission merchants of other
ports.
We know that some Of our merchants
have been inclined to regard this in
dustry as having but little promise,
but the rapid increase in the number
of the distilling plants justifies the
conclusion that it is going to become
Of great Importance. The raw material
available for use in the industry is
almost unlimited, especially in the ter
ritory tributary to this city.
II seems TO us that the Chamber OF
Commerce couldn't employ its time
better than in investigating this in
dustry, and, if it finds the truth in re-
gard to it to be close to the reports
concerning ii, steps should be taken al
once to interest capital in handling il
here, just as naval stores have been
handled for so many years and with
such benefit to the commerce of the
port. 1t would be folly to rest on our
oars and let Baltimore or some other
port get what may become a great
business, a business which legitimateI,
belongs here.
