The Sisseton Agency fcud between
ex-Post Trader Ross and Agcut Jack
son broke out anew the first oil The
week, when under Instructions from
the agent, the police elected Mr.. Ross
and his household goods from the
house i'm which he had been residing,
but when Inspector Mclaughlin
learned OF the moye, he took steps
that permitted Ross To return, with
the understanding that he would re
main until the payment was cpmple!-
ed, 1T transpircs that Agent Jack
son has had Instructions from Wash
lngton for several months To take
steps for the removal of Ross, but he
has refrained from doing SO, expect

1T is SAID

That at least two weddings in
high society in Sisseton are IN the
taps for the very near future. Now
guess!
That the three reform county com
missiOners, who are really the side
show to the boxer circus, hzzled in a
burst of glory tins week: that is they
came down like spent rocket.
That one young beau in Sisseton is
mourning and refuses TO be comiorted
because, forsooth, his queen has flag
ged some Handsome Hank and fled.
He evidently thinks there is not go
ing to be girls enough to go around.
He will change his mind as he grows
older.
That some of the married men
whose wives are visiting-and there
are several of them in Slsseton-feel
that they can svmpathize with the
sentiments expressed by Major Ed
wards, of the Fargo Argus back in
the early eighties when most OF the
women had "vamooscd the ranch" and
gone back east to visit 1.-THE folks:
The Major opined that the men IN
Dakota ought to be entitled to two
wives under the law, so that one could
stay at home and keep house while
the other was bacl. east visiting.
That some people had rather have

Libel as Romance. -

A current magazine is publishing
romantic history Of John Paul Jones.
which contains so much romance and
so little history that it seems 10 war
rant a mild protest. There may be
some excuse for padding out" the
obscured phases in the life of such a
man as Paul Jones and making the
story round and complete; but the
phases that are historically establish
ed ought not to be distorted, especiase
" when that distortion is TO the dis
advantage of the hero and calculated
TO bring his name into contempt
There has been, for instance, a
thorcSgh Investigation of the story
which involved the legitimacy Of
Jones' parentage. The most thorough
inquiry, based on an ample supply of
satisfactory historic materials, has led
to the conclusion that the imputa-
tions against the character Of Jones'
mother were a cruel injustice. 1t is
difficult to imagine a more inexcusa-
bic injustice than to perpetuate a re-
fection against the good name of a
woman who gave to the nation one Of
the heroes of its war for independ-
ence. Yet this old and exploded story
is solemn1y asseverated by the ro-
mantle writer referred to, as if it
we're authenticated history.
And the same writer does Jones the
injustice of rehashing the allegation
that he ordered man TO be fiogged
so severely that the man died of the
injuries. This especially has been dis
proved b. the authority Of almost
every witness who could possiblA have
had knowledge. Jones himself in his
later years devoted himself to getting
together the proofs. and he made
them as complete as any court could
ask TO warrant it in directing YER
diet. The man was fiogged, indeed:
that was the custom Of the times anC

to such lengths as these. The public
is entitled to have its idols; certainly
its benefactors are not entitled to

4 Lesson for Congress.

The same day that brings us news
of the greatest spread of typhoid
fever informs us also that one of the
twenty-nine beds of the filtration
plant is to be opened for use. Within
two months twenty-five of these beds
are to be finished so that the whole
water supply of the District may be
filtered free of germs. Every energy
is being strained to hasten that con-
dition. While the city 1aments the
origination of thirty-three new cases
in one day, therefore, it has the
reinsurance that the causes which
have produced that dreadful result
are being eradicated as rapidly as
possible.
Now that the filtration beds have
come. Congress will regard them with
mixed emotions. It's broad and far
sighted members must certainly
regret that they were not ready years
before. It's narrow and astigmated
members are certain to regard them
as q liberal condescension. 1t would
be well for both groups to reflect that
the lack of these beds has produced
IN epidemic in Washington hardly
less capable of great disaster than
the spread of yellow fever in the
South and quite as easily avoided.
The Times has said more than once
that the Districts partnership with
Congress is the best solution of the
difficulties incident to its peculiar
position. It is not fair that half the
real property of the District should
go untaxed. There is no rational
means of paying taxes on that prop
erty save by act of Congress. But
it would seem at times like this
when nearly 800 families are suffer
ing intensely and the whole communi-
ty Is frightened-that Congress might
learn the lesson that it cannot toy
with the welfare of a great city, 3
city of 800 900 souls which is also the
capital of the nation, for the sake OF
saving money on a general policy O
retrenchnent.'
The taxes of the District of Colum-
bia, whether obtained from non-gov.
ernmentaI property or from thai
property which is held in fee by the
National Government, have no par
in general policies of 'retrenchment.
They are funds designed solely fol

The Great What Is It2

OF course it was bound to come
The only question was whether it
would come via the Tokyo Yellow
Peril, the Athens Hoi PollOi, the Con-
stantinople Atrocity, or some other
journal of equal enterprise. It came,
as matter of fact, from the Echo
de Paris. which only goes to show
that the unexpected sometimes may
or may not happen,
Reference is had. as all the world
Will know, TO that epoch-making con-
ference aboard the Polar Star. It ap-
pears now that the Car and the
Kaiser were not the only persons
present. One Admiral Birileff. the
Russian minister of marine. was
along. And Admiral Birileff told a
friend, who told the Echo de Paris,
who published this interesting story
for our information and delight:
Early in the morning after the inter
view on board the HohenzolIern the
Kaiser repaired to the Polar Star and
remained closeted with the Gar for
two hours and a half.
InGn Admiral BlrlIen was summoned
and spent Q few minutes exchanging the
amenities of the weather with the
SOVerefgns. At length the CzdT said TO
him, indicating a document on the table:
Alexis AleXevitch. be so good as to
sign this paper"
AS the admiral started to comply he
noticed that the paper was so folded
that It's contents were hidden from him.
Ha also dtscerned upon the new blotting
pad the reversed signatures of both Car
and Kaiser.
In relating these circumstances later
TO his friend. he added: THAT was the
first time l have ever signed 2. document
without being aware OF its contents"
