FFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
A WONDERFUL PEOPLE.

The world should not lose the
benefit Of a remark accredited to
one of the Japanese admirals a
few days after the Togo victory.
He was saying to a reporter that
the Russians made a brave
fight, but that the fog, the heavy
sea and the suns rays were all
against them.
He concluded as folio VS.:
1.-The Japanese are again impress
sed that they still have much to
learn from the western nations. ="
The irony in this remark is
worthy of a Juvenal. The events
of the pending conflict with Rus
STA must impress most people
that Japan has already acquired
from the Christian west about
all that is worth knowing, if we
except our religion, and even in
this respect we are gradually
being awakened to the fact that
the Japanese have a very SUBJ
stantial code of morals, a code
based indeed upon the teachings
of no less a moralist than the
great Confucius.
In point of patriotism-love of
country and respect for govern
the ia ~anese are not ex-
-celled by anv. Their modesty
and their apparent Submissive
ness to criticism from those who
have hitherto regarded them as
an inferior race are distinguish
ing marks that belong to few
civilizations. They are given to
neither boasting nor vainglorious
praise. Everyo le Of the fifty
million natives of Nippon ex-
pected Togo to do his duty, and
he did it without buster or brag.
Had he failed the loyalty and
support of the Japanese would
have known no tagging.
Have we heard any complaints
from the Japanese soldiers and
sailors such as shocked our SEN
sative ears during the war with
Spain? Have there been any
round robbins or accusations
against commanding officers or
the government? The japanese
do not go to war in feather beds.
They have no yellow journals and
therefore no embalmed beef.
Individual liberty is not denied
in Japan, and yet there is no
such thing as unbridaled license.
Thou shalt honor the gods
and love thy country; thou shalt
clearly understand the princi-
pies OF heaven and the auty. OF
man. = These are the axioms
that support the institutions OF
Nippon, and make her people
and her concerns of serious and
abiding consequence.

hands off, and brought the two
.belligerents together to settle
their dispute in a manner salts
factory to them selves. By this
splendid piece of diplomacy,
there will be no butting in OF
other nations for a vulture's
share Of the spoils. The young
and impetuous as his enemies
say American executive who
acts while others play with RED
tape, has confounded the minis.
tiers Of other nations whose abb
lily have been the admiration Of
the world. It was a victory for
the strenuous administration at
Washington as great in its
sphere as the victory of the Zap.
anese which led to the peace
proposals. The old school Of
Americ diplomacy, fashioned
after the courts Of slow-going
European nations, has been sup
erceded by the Roosevelt school,
which eschews red tape, long
drawn out performances, and
half concealed statements. and
goes directly to the matter in
dispute in an honest, candid and
sincere manner. Roosevelt, the
young executive, has won a vic
tory over the able statesmen and
diplomats Of the world. 1t was
the same honest and frank
methods that have won him a
place in the hearts Of his country
men never held by any othe r
man. Hats off to Roosevelt, the
peoples idol, and the worlds
leading ruler.

Japan has proven herself
greater even in her peace pro-
posals than in her conduct Of the
war with its unbroken line Of
supplying victories. With Rus
STA groveling at her feet, whip
ped on both land and sea, her
conqueror able to demand and
exact her very life blood, Japan
asked only an equitable settle
ment. A more magnanimous
conqueror has not been seen
since Grant received the sur
render Of Lee at Appomattox.
Japan is greater in peace than in
war.

created ruler fell, Norway was
parceled out by the nations as a
part of the spoils, and fell to the
share Of Sweden. But the
union, if such it could be called,
was never more than a tentative
one. Norway retained her own
flag, merely adding a small vel
low square, her own system of
money. her own legislative body
and her own laws. All she lost
was the power Of veto by the
dual king upon the acts of her
legislative body. The Norwe-
gians are an intelligent, educated
and broad-minded people, who
have gotten away from the fam
atical beliefin the divine right Of
kin gs, and while the throne Of
the two nations has unfortunate
ly been occupied by some worth
less rulers, so long as the inter-
est of Norway has not been jeo-
pordized, there seemed no rea-
son. to complain. But there was
a conflict in the interest Of the
two peoples separated by the.
Kio en- mountains. Norway is
largely a commercial nation,
ranking third in the world,
while Sweden was almost entire
ly an agricultural one. The
foreign interests of the two ma.
lions were thus at variance.
The prosperity of Norway was
in her commerce, that Of Swed-
en- in her home products. These
interests were largely in the
hands of the consuls and COM
mercial agents of the kingdom,
scattered throughout: the world.
AS these consuls and agents
were appointed by the. king they
were largely representatives of
Sweden's interests, as Their, ig I
ing house had never in -Dne
ninety years Of Its dual reign.
forgotten that it was Of Swe
den born. The Norwegian
storthing demanded that the
consular affairs Of Norway be
placed in the hands of her own
people, and passed a bill to that
effect, and this bill was vetoed
by the king, whereupon Nor
way arose in her might and de-
clared her independence, and
began a national existence of
her own. 1t is the story Of edu-
Gated patriotism over again.
The people of Norway have
merely asserted the right to
govern themselves that was
christened in blood for the first
time at Lexington. What the
result will be is a matter for the
future. Shou d war result, the
contest would be a throw of the
dice. Sweden has an available
army of possibly 100000 men
and Norway half as many. The
navies of both countries would.
be insignificant in a contest
with any great power, but Nor
way has a strong fleet of torpedo
boats and her coast is well pro-
tected by nature. Norway has
the advantage Of preparedness,
her army being already station
ed along the dividing line in the
strong Businesses Of the noun
tains. Come what may, the
Norwegians may be conquered
but they will never be subdued,
and the world may as well pro-
vide for two nations where there
has been dual one before.
Norway, if she wins, gains the
right to care for her own inter-
ests throughout the world, and
incidentally an additional
national expense. Sweden loses
nothing but an empty honor.

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.

to Show That Prison is Insecure.
WATERFORD, Aug. 2.-What came
near being successful Jail delivery mere
was thwarted by the timely discovery of
Deputy Sheriff E. P. Henderson. Yester.
day afternoon he discovered, upon hearing
a commotion in the Jail, that an effort
was being made to knock hole through
the roof by means of heavy pieces ofiron
in some manner. The prisoners so en-
gagged were: W. Cox, Geo. Williams, J. E.
Fl1dd, E. J. Hiott, E. Magwood, and R.
Lee, the six young men brought to the
jail about week ago for robbing cars.
They were overpowered and chained to
the floor but this morning they had
gotten loose and were making another
effort to effect an escape. Sheriff Owens
has had them placed in cells where they
will be kept. They claim that they were
only trying to get out in order to show
the authorities here that the jail here is
unsafe, so they would be sent to Colum-
bia and placed in the penitentiary for
safe keeping, believing that the treatment
received would be better there and their
quarters there more comfortable. No
further trouble is feared.

wayfarer to rob, they could. never
catch him.
The truth was that Hornsby had the
daring OF a dime novel desperate and
would only seek safety In flight when
the odds against him were too heavy.
II be- suddenly came upon three or four
men be would show fight, and during
his desperate career he ended several
lives.
Hornsby in his swiftly gliding pi-
rogue haunted Bayou Cheine and Lake
Chico and travel in the waterways be-
came perilous. The outlaw built hut
on an island near where the bayou en-.
tered into the Lake and lived there the
life Of q hermit and misanthrope. f.
nally Hornsby turned bis hand against
people living in the little villages and
towns in the vicinity Of his lair, and
his depredatons became 80 numerous
and daring that well organized posse,
armed with Winchesters and led by
bloodhounds, started after him.
For days the trail Led through the
wet marsh, where venomous sDakes
described a sinuous course through
greenish, sluggish water and where the
gray moss, rich and abundant depend
ing from dropping branches, brushed
the faces Of the pursuers as they waded
by.
The dogs were useless in this water
wilderness and were sent back in
charge Of a negro, but the rackers held
to their course and finally caught sight
Of Hornsby as the outlaw was leaving
his boat at the edge Of the island and
plungtng through the thick underbrush
toward his lair.
Several rifles from the soggy, half
submerged main bank Of the bayou
cracked, and Hornsby, turning, yelled
defant1y and, throwing his gun to his
shoulder, sent bullet toward his enc
mics. For several hours long range
fight was kept up, and Hornsby, bis
ammunition having given out tried to
escape and 30 met bis death.
The side Of the island on which his
boat was moo-ed was In direct range
Of the pursuefs guns, 80 Hornsby went
to the farther side and, springing into
the water, swan fo- the opposite main
land bis head, bobbing up and down
on the tawny food, made an excellent
mark for one Of the posse stationed
farther up the stream, and, taking
careful aim with his rife, the man
fred.
The bullet went true, tore great
hole IN the outlaws skull, gashed and
tore his brain and ended bis villainous
career. With Hornsby's passing came
peace to the district and there was
none to regret him.
