probable successor to the late Gen.

Hansbrough has agreed to his endorse
ment and there is little question but
the place would go to the Wahpeton
editor should he desire it. Since the
matter was taken up, however, Mr..
Fa1Eey has reached the conclusion that
he does not want the place. It pays
$500 per annum and would mean that
Mr.. Falley would have to give over
his extensive publishing business at

figures that the investment would not
be good one. The only other North

with the appointment is Hon. w. j.

NO STOCK IN MCGEE.
Captain Foley of Medora Takes No
Stock In the Story Of "survivor"
MCGEE.


Medora, N. D., Dec. 20, 1904.
The Tribune: I was surprised to
see that The Tribune would print such
slush, as it lately published, about one
MCGEE, who has been posing in New
York, lately, as the only true survivor
OF the Custer Massacre. 1t is a fact,
which appears to me, should be well
known to The Tribune, that the man
who carried the last order from Gen
eral Custer to Major Reno, was
Trumpeter Martin, or to use the Italian
name of this man, for he was an
Italian, Maratene.
The writer was Well acquainted with
Trumpeter Martin. We were both
stationed at Fort Abraham Lincoln
twenty-six years ago.. During the
winter Of 1879 there was a court Of
inquiry at Chicago, convened at the
request Of Major Reno, to investigate
his actions during the battle OF the
Little Big Horn; many of the officers
at Fort Lincoln were ordered before
this court, to give testimony. Trum-
peter Martin was also ordered there,
but who ever heard OF MCGEE?
MCGEE, or your account OF him
makes him say that he was very young
at the time Of this battle that he kneM
much about Indians: that he enlisted

Senator McCumber has opened SEN
atorial headquarters, preliminary to
the caucus for the selection of candi-
date for the vote of the republican
members Of the legislature for United
States senator, and the indications
seem to be that his will be about the
only candidacy that will be seriously
considered by the republicans Of the
legislature. While 1t is a matter Of
congratulation for the senator that he
has made SO creditable record that
there is Insignificant opposition to his
reelection, 1t is likewise matter for
congratulation of the state that he
seems likely to be returned with few
if any dissenting votes on the part OF
the republican members. Senator
McCumber has made, perhaps, more
rapid advance to prominent place In
the senate than any new senator from
a western state. The close of his first
term finds him at the head Of the COM
mittee on pensions, with other impor-
tant chairmanships open to him if he
chooses to relinquish the one he has
now. It is, indeed, remarkable, that
western state has such desirable
places in the senate as are held by
Senators Hansbrough and McCumber,
and it it a tribute. both to the ability
and popularity of these gentlemen anu

DEAF CHILDREN.
Their Welfare Forms the Subject Of
An Address by Supt. Ranus. ll5

n In a paper before the county super
intendents at Fargo on the necessity
of county superintendent discovering
deaf children and having them sent
to the state deaf school, Supt. Bangs
said: "A hearing child may become
well educated going to any school, but
a deaf child, never. The mind Of the
uneducated deaf person is as blank
at 80 years Of age as it is atn2. Moral
and legal responsibilities are unknown
quantities. Hence it is that the un.
educated deaf are menace to society
and possible wards Of the state either
in penitentiaries or alms.houses. But
educated, he becomes self-support-
ing, responsible citizen. Our little
school at Devils Lake has three of its
graduates (there are only six in ALL
pursuing college course at Washing
ton, D. c.. and l heard the other day
that one of them was leading his
class. This college is the only one of
its kind In the world and it draws its
students from all over the United
States. The attendance is but slight
ly over 100. It is therefore clearly.
evident that the work of our school
will compare favorably with that done
in older and larger schools. We will
have three more to enter this college
next fall as they have passed all pre-
liminary studies except the work. they
are taking and they will pass this
easily. But for our school these same
young people would be uneducated,
and morally and legally irresponsible.
This ought to place the question of
their education before you in such a
light that you will readily see how
absolutely important it is for the
individual and for the state as well to
have the deaf educated. To be edu-
Gated they must go to school, and to
get some parents to send their chill
dren, It is necessary to use compul-
