One of the most meritorious
endorsements that has come to
any man in the state recently is
the unsolicited endorsement of
Hon. Geo. w. H. Davis of this
county for speaker Of the house
of representatives by many of
the leading republican journals
of the state. It is a sort Of de-
mand from them because of the
able record made by Mr.. Davis
in the past. He desires to have
it known that if the honor
comes it must come unsought on
his part. He was elected to
serve the people of this county
and incidentally the people Of
the state, and he believes that he
can do that better on the floor of
the house than as it's presiding
officer. But if the people of the
state tender him the position.
unsolicited it could not easily be
refused. Mr.. Davis would honor
his county and the state by his
elevation, and the people of this
county can we'll afford to sacri-
flee some of the influence he
would have on legislation for
the greater influence he would
have in the speakers chair.

as though his successor would do
even more.

Criminologists have been
studying for years the effects Of
the escape from the punishment
Of the law of criminals who are
morally known to be guilty and
are want to charge the seeming
failure of justice to the laws, or
to the corruption Of juries. The
cause lies deeper and the recent
arrest of a spotter at Fargo on
the charge of procuring money
from the resorts of the city in
order to protect them from being
prosecuted is a strong endorse
ment of the real cause. Crimi-
nal lawyers know that it is not
so much what a witness says as
the character of the witness that
affects juries. In these later
days has been developed a class
of professional evidence produc-
ers termed detectives who at
tempted to furnish the evidence
to convict criminals. Much of
this is alleged admissions of
criminals. The honest iuries
in this country have come to look
upon this class Of witnesses as
professional perjurers, and as a
rule to altogether disregard their
evidence. Juriers having re-
gard for life and liberty, take
little stock in the stories OF
the professional detectives who
are often the most disreputable
character. +.
Prosecutions relying on such
evidence fail to convict and the
failure is charged to the law.
The juries have measured the
witnesses and found them I'M
worthy. When the sweating
| of criminals and the procuring
of evidence lis left to officers

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AM
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY. DECEMBER 2 1904

A comparison Of the state
ments Of the First National
bank of this city, published in
the Inter-Ocean September 10th
and that published last week
will show the enormous wealth
brought into the county by the
crop which is largely marketed
during the interval indicated by
the reports. The individual
deposits subject to check in the
first report was $96. 514; in the
report last week it was 220.820
an increase in two months Of
$124, 306. In the same period
the amount due to other banks
state and national, which in fact
represents money deposited in
the First National of this city,
increased from 1884 to $50, 931,
a gain of $52.1 So that the
increase indicated by the total
deposits in these two months
is 176, 460. Add to this the enor-
nous amount of debts paid by
the farmers out of money with
drawn by check during these
two months, which are the
principal debt paying months of
the year, and some vague idea
may be obtained Of the value of
the crops of this county. But
in forming this estimate it must
be remembered that there are
fourteen banks in the county,
all of which show a gain in pro-
portion to that indicated by the
above figures.

The construction of the Pan
anna canal would have been an
appalling undertaking a century
ago, or even less. In the early
history Of railroad grading the
excavation was done with shov-
ell and wheelbarrow. An army
of men was required to do a
small amount of work. In the
excavation of the Panama canal,
machines will be used which
will do the work of a thousand
men, and these machines can be
operated by half a dozen men.
No wonder the big undertakings
become small things in this age
Of mind and machinery.

In the death of Col. Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky, one Of the
most brilliant intellects of the
century passes to the great un-
known. Yet when death claim
ed the eloquent southerner, there
We're few outside his personal
friends to weep at his bier. The
reason is clear. A few years
ago, while one Of the promin-
ment democrats in the lower
house of congress, the nation
was scandalized by the Pollard
Breckenridge case, and Breckin-
rigde retired to private life.
In that notorious scandal the
political life of a promising man
was snuffed out. He died in
comparative obsculit7. 1t ought

American people do not look

OIL IS STRUCK
IN NEW ENGLAND
Massachusetts Town in Furor Of
Excitement Over Possible
Boom.

Taunton, Mass, Nov. 19.-The town
of Dighton is in a Juror Of excitement
and visions Of tremendous boom are
In nearly everybody's eye. Ten days
ago a contractor began boring for oil.
All day Friday fumes of gas were de-
tected by employees working about the
place. Saturday night twenty pounds
of dynamite were put down and dis
charged at depth Of ia feet. The ex-
plosion which followed threw a stream
of water twenty-five feet into the air.
Joseph Enos, upon whose farm the
drilling is being conducted, lighted a
match to look down the hole, and the
flames leaped several feet into the air.
Water filling the hole drove the gas out.
The expert drillers are delayed in the
work by reason Of quicksand, under
which there is granite, with, a slanting
crevice, which throws the drill off.
The hole is now filed with plugs, and
they are pounding on them, hoping to
wear a shoulder so that the drill may
lead straight.
The contractor, e. e.. Strait, is posi-
tive that after the granite formation is
passed the gas pocket will be reached
and natural gas in abundance will flow.
The gas which escaped was Of the best
quality, smokeless, burning with blue
fame and great heat. It is the first
natural gas ever lighted In New Eng
land, and is believed to be the fore
runner Of the oil which is sought,

!. IANGLE IS SOLVED.
Mrs. Clemence Dodge-Morse at
Last Knows Who Is Her
Husband.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York, Nov. 19.-At last Mrs.
Clemence c. Dodge Morse knows whose
wife she is. The appellate division Of
the supreme court handed down a deci-
sion today making. her the wife Of
Charles Morse, the ice king. This
ends one phase Of the most remark
able case that ever claimed the atten-
tion Of New York courts.
For more than year Mrs. Morse has
been uncertain whether she was the
wife of Charles w. Morse or Charles
F. Dodge. In that time she has been
declared the wife Of Dodge. the wife
of Morse and the wife Of neither.
Worse than all, it appeared at one time
that she was the wife Of both.
Mrs. Clemence C..aDodge got a di-
vorce in the New York courts in 1898
from her husband, Charles. r. Dodge,
who was then hotel proprietor in At
ianra. Not long afterward she mar
ried Charles ". Morse. About a year
ago Charles F. Dodge claimed he had
never been served with papers and was
granted decree setting aside the di-
vorce. Mrs. Morse had her marriage
to Morse annulled. This left her the
wife Of Dodge.
DEGREES were finally ordered by which
the first divorce was declared legal and
Mrs. Dodge-Morse became Mrs. Morse.
This did not end the complication. The
case was carried to the appellate divi-
sion, which sustained the lower court
in declaring that she was Morse s wife.
