Its Gold Now.

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. H.
Excitement was at fever heat
when it became public to day
that free gold had been dis
covered in paying quantities in
the hills which abounded on the
north of the reservation in the
vicinity of Fort Totten.
The fact has long been known
to old settlers, notable to Capt.
E. E. Herman, Post Trader
Frank Palmer and Major F. o.
Getchell, for seven years reser-
vation agent. but owing to the
fact that until these valuable
lands were thrown open to set
Element white men could not
hope to profit by the golden
wealth stored for centuries in
the rocky fastness of the last of
the red mans domain it was
kept secret.
Lately S. J. Small, editor of
Devils Lake News, and n. H.
Lampman of the Neche Chrome
type, we'll known newspaper men,
became impressed with the
truth of the rumors and made a
secret visit to the spots where
tradition located the gold.
As a result they secured speci-
mems of free gold in the quartz,
which the government assay
shows carries $50 in gold to the
ton. At first deposits were dis.
covered on the shores of Agate
bay. The lead has been traced
several miles inland, covering a
tract of land which years ago
was covered by the waters of
Devils Lake.
That the precious deposits owe
their present location to the
glacial period is proved by the
fact that the rock which abounds
is akin to the gold bearir g
quartz of Alaska, where the
mother lode exists today. With
the opening of the reservatit n
the gold excitement will be in
tense and dwarf that of Pixies

The papers Ct the state who
criticized the way the republican
ticket was built and then come
out and support that ticket are
said to be inconsistent. No
such thing. It would be folly
for any republican paper to re
fuse to support it's ticket which
is composed of as good men as
can be found anywhere in the
state just because the combina-
tion named it. If the nominees
we're incompetent and men of
bad character 1t would be in or.
der to turn them down but they
are not and are worthy of your
support. 1t is the method used
that we are after and until we
get a good primary election law
we shall have this evil to contend
with. Let's support the ticket
which is a good one but kill of
this bossism by primary elec.

Speaking of model saloons and
similar devices you hear it said
frequently that the ''poor man"
must-have his club" as well
as the rich man. Of this argu-
ment Ed. Howe, of the Atchison
Globe, says: Bishop Potter's
idea that laboring men need a
club will discourage sensible
people. The club is one of the
great evils of civilization; not one
of its benefits. It is not enough
to say that laboring men do not
need a club, no one needs club.
The club is the vermiform ap-
pendix of society; useless, and a
constant menace. Bishop Pot
ter should be ashamed of the
fact that he belongs to five or six
clubs, and not proud of it. Mil
lions of men in the United States
are not frequenters of clubs, and
care nothing for them. They
prefer the society Of their
families and the wholesome out.

Candidate Parker in accepting

in event of his election he will
not be a candidate for a second
term. It is pretty hard to keep
pledges sometimes-especially

opinion that Mr.. Parker is safe
in making it as he will never be
called upon to carry it out.

By Occasional Visits To
The Same.
Washington, Aug. 15.-''The
establishment of residence un-
der the homestead law" says
Acting Secretary Ryan for the
interior department, in a North
Dakota case, the decision in
which is just made public ''can-
not be proved by showing mere
ly that an entryman has been on
the land any given number of
days or nights, and, in going up
on the tract of land, the act of
the entryman must concur with
the intent to make it his per-
manent home, to the exclusion OF
any home elsewhere"
The construction thus placed
upon the homestead law as to
residence grew out of the contest
of A. L. Allen of the homestead
entry of F. A. Malay. for a tract
of land in the Devils Lake Dis
trict. North Dakota. The de-
fendant, Maley, as shown by
the evidence, had build a small
rough board shanty upoI the
land, had slept there at the time,
some three or four nights, had
again slept there one night, a
month or two afterwards, was
there a couple of days more on
the land, at the expiration of
six months thereafter. He had
never had an article of furniture
in the shauty save q bench and
table and had never cooked a
meal on the premises. On the
other hand, he had caused about
six or seven acres of the land to
be broken for him by another
party, who cultivated fax there
on, taking it in payment for his
labor.
What is residence in the
contemplation of the homestead
law, was thus expounded by the
acting secretary, mo residence
can be established in good faith,
without the existence is shown
of an intent to make it a home.
Under certain circumstances the
poverty or sickness of an entry
man or his inability to secure
employment in the vicinity of
the tract entered by him may ex-
cuse temporary absence there
from-provided residence there
on has once been established
yet even such cases cannot be
accepted as excuses for failure
to establish q residence within
the statutory period when such
default is charged and proved by
an entering contestant. I"
The tract of land involved in
the case was the southwest
quarter of section 80, township
152. north, range 76, west, Devils
Lake land district. In the evi-
dence filed in the case, it was
shown to be worth twelve to ff-
teen hundred dollars. Besides
breaking and cultivating the land
the defendant proved that he had
sunk a well on it.
The acting secretary denied a
motion to review the case OF
Fred Weg,ey versus Theodore
Negaard, involving the southwest
quarter of the southwest quarter
and the south half of the south.

AS indicating the railroad commission
attitude on this subject Col ~. J. Pai-
mer was questioned.
I'VE ordered a viaduct over the
tracks at Cedar Rapids" said Col
Palmer, ''and it was built just where
the neople wanted IT. sF'le aduet eis
a fine one. 1t was placed on street
just off the main travelled street. and
my observation has been that the
travel over the Viaduct is not as great
as across the tracks In other words
the people will not go block out OF
their way to evade the danger OF a
grade crossing. viaduct must be
placed where it will naturally get the
traffic This is the problem in all such
cases"
The railroad commission in the case
of the Cedar Rapids viaduct closed the
street for surface travel at the same
time. This is regarded by the COM
missioners as one Of the proper things
to do. On this point Ed G.. Brown, OF
the commission, recently said: In my
opinion there is no justice in compell-
ng the railroad companies to pay for a
viaduct over their tracks as measure
OF safety and then allowing teams to
cross the tracks at the surface. The
viaduct should be as much for the.
safety of the railroad as for the teams
and drivers. We all know that II the
street remains open even after g vfa~
duct is built there will be much travel
on the street The proper policy is to
have the street closed when viaduct
ia built"

AN EVENT EAGERLY AWAITED
Members of the Imperial Family Gath

the Birth Of an Heir to the Throne
Fifth Child Of the Emperor-Named
Alexis.

st. Petersburg, Aug. PA son and
heir to the Russian throne was born at
12: 80 this afternoon. The empress and
child are doing well. The child Will
be christened Alexis.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 12.-The birth
of an heir to the throne was attended
with all the ceremonial ordained by inn
perial tradition. In accordance with
Russian law there were present besides
the emperor. Baron Fredericks. master
of ceremonies. and Prince Dolgerouky,
grand marshal OF the court.
DR.. Rott personally announced the
birth of the heir to the awaiting imper-
ial family and formal announcement
will be published in the Official Mes
senger. The imperial salute of 101 guns
was subsequently fired by all the forts
around st. Petersburg.
The christening of the heir Will take
place in fortnight. 1t will be cere-
mony of the most elaborate sort. The
emperor and empress Of Russia (form-
erly Princess Alix of Hesse). who were
married November IA, 1894, had pre-
vious to the birth of the child born to-
day, four daughters, Olga. Tatiana,
Marie and Anastasia.

People thruout Russia, notably the
clergy have been praying for an heir

been constantly visiting Alexandra VIII

by the people and who has great in

RUSSIA WILL EXCEPT.
Action Of the Japs at chefoo Regarded
as Grave Matter.

as 0raV0 WatteF.
st. Petersburg. Aug. 12.-The action
of the torpedo boat destroyers in at
tacking and towing out the defenseless
Russian torpedo destroyer Ryeshitelni
at Chefoo, is regarded in diplomatic
circles as being q very grave matter
for Japan. AS soon as the facts are
officially established. no doubt Russia
will promptly call the attention of the
powers to this breach of neutrality of
China. Aside from the possible ques-
tionable rights of an uninjured war
ship to seek sanctuary in a neutral
port, when not forced to do so by stress
of weather or lack of coal and proyis-
ions all diplomats agree as to the abso-
lutte illegality of belligerent ships en-
tering neutral ports and there commit
ting hostile acts. The case so far as
the facts are known, is considered much
more fragrant than that at Chemulpo,
where all the foreign commanders, ex-
cept that Of the American war ship,
protested against the proposal of the
Japanese to enter and fight the Russian
cruisers, Variag and korietz, in neu-
tral harbor.
