Upon recommendation of the secre-
tary of the interior the president has
authorized the payment to the Sisseton
and Wahpeton Indians of South Da-
kota of 100000, to be distributed per
capita. The money is to be taken
from the principal of their trust funds
now in the treasury and the distribu-
tion is to be made on account of the
failure Of their crops for the last two
years. It has been represented that
there is great necessity of funds to
purchase seed and the condition of
the old and helpless Indians is said to
be very pitiable.

number of men and women who were
unable to extricate themselves from q Y
mass Of tangled wreckage formed BY
the terrible unheayal in the boiler
room. More than fifty OF the employees
Ia the building were manned, burned
or bruised by the time they reAchgd I
safe ground. Some had jumped from
the roof, some from windows and oth-
ers had been injured in the mad rush
to escape from the doomed factory,
which from all parts emitted the In
tense, awful heat OF an inferno, driv-
ing back the band Of heroic rescuers
who IN q few brief moments had per-
formed gallant service.
" The fire extended from the factory
to seven other buildings In the vicinity
and destroyed them. Two wooden
dwellings, near the engine room were
practically demolished by the dying

It may never be- known how many

no one knows how many persons "
In the factory. The number has. been
estimated at 400, but Treasurer
Charles @. Emerson said he doubted
whether there were SO many at work.
Two hundred and fifty survivors have
been accounted for and at midnight
the remains Of fifty bodies had been;
recovered from the ruins, the search
being continued all night. Fragments
OF human frames which possibly might
belong to bodies other than those
enumerated, have also been found.
Few Of the remains have been identi.
fed. The head in nearly every care
Is missing.
AT midnight, . list OF missing, NUM-
bering tWentyrnine, was given out at
the police station. 1t is feared that all
were killed, as every. effort to locate
them has proved futile. 3S
At 2 q. m. the remains OF fifty-three
persons had been recovered.
Chief Of Police Boyden expressed
the opinion that some Of the employees
had not reached the factory at the time
Of the explosion and that und doubtedIyi

places were injured and had gone
home without reporting their injuries.
He thought that many Of those not ac-
counted for, upward .of 100 in number,
were among these.
The disaster was attended by many
narrowing scenes and thrilling res
cues. For hours hundreds Of the rela-

There is a good deal Of thinking. North
Dakota people are not hope1essly dead
to true Americanism. The cry against
corruption in the press Of other, states
is making it's impression upon the
minds Of the people of this state. 1t
will not be long before sleeping con-
seriousness is awakened, even in North
there will be representative govern
ment in this state. just now, the po-
1tical leaders are autocratic. They }do
not lead, they drive. They do not ask
the consent of the people; they resent
an intimation on the part Of the people
that the voters ought to be consulted
in matters Of Importance; "tF -.
The attitude of the leaders of the
capitol commission matter is in point.
In answer to the protest against the
method pursued to secure architect and
contractors, the republican leaders said
In substance: r =
HWhat business is. it Of the taxpay-
ers and voters Of North Dakota what
we do with the state capitol lands? The
federal government donated the land to
the state for capitol purposes. We
propose to use the proceeds to construct
2 state capitol building an and we shall do
what the. people think about it. It
doesn It cost them anything, hence they
have nothing to say about the mats
ter. = 81. e -
| In this attitude it is noted the ma
| chine leaders do not recognize that the
state capitol lands are the property of
the people, that when sold the people
will purchase the property, many of
them, and the new capitol building will
be no more the property of the people
than the state capitol lands are now
The reorganizers are not forgetting
the state press and will not; be without
the support of papers of the state. 1t
has long been recognized, Il that the
Grand Forks Herald is the most infu
self is worth something to the reor
ganizers. There will be other reorgan

"A NEW FLAG FLOATS.
OVER SWEDEN NOW
Dissolution Means Removal Of Union jack
Stockholm Doctor Proposes Use Of Three
Crowns" in Its Place Great Victory for Elec-
toral Reform Means Nep Cabinet and Bitter
Struggle Bef1ueen Houses Of Parliament.
BY HUGO VALENTINE.

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. lot is
OYER now. At half-past ! last night the
al orthing, after long and heated dis.
clssion, accepted the conditions which
its delegates already had agreed to IN
Karlstad. 1t is now the turn of the
Swedish riksdag and / dare say that be.
fore the week is over this assembly. will
arrive at the same result, very likely
without any discussion and as far as can
BIZ ascertained, unanimously. In the
storthing this was not the case, but al,
tho the debate was long and full of
cbauvinistie declarations and beating
OH patriotic shields, the final result was
astounding. Out of III members only
165 voted against the Karlstad conven--
ton 1t is always so. A little crowd Of
chauvinists can make good deal OF
noise trying, liie some native tribes, to
brighten their, adversaries and make
them believe tlAt they are whole
army
After the mutual agreement comes a
lot of minor matters in connection with
the dissolution which require the atten-
tion of the Swedish riksdag. Among
these matters will be the desi On of the
new Swedish flag. AS you know, the
Swedish flag has been blue ground d.
vided into four fGlds by yellow cross,
but since the UNI on with Norway, the
.oaCh GhC oAuSy "hioo
and red of Norway blended with the
blue and yellow Of Sweden has been
placed in the upper inside corner just as
the star-spangled square is fitted in the
American flag. But with the dissolu-
ton the union jack must vanish as a
matter of course, altho some short
sighted people insist upon its being kept
where it is. That is, Of. course, out of
the question. Some-and I fancy they
represent the feeling of the majority
propose that we should return to the
state before the union and have back
the old Swedish flag, the simple light
blue ground with the yellow cross divid-
ing it in four fields. That would be the
simplest and perhaps from an artistic
point Of view the best arrangement. A
new proposal has, however, come up. A
private individual, DR.. Carl Malmsten,
has proposed that the union jack should
be replaced by the old Swedish arms,
"the three crowns,' which still are the
center of the Swedish coat of arms.
These crowns should be yellow like the
cross. The idea is not bad and may
gain many adherents. The ordinary
flag should be square and only the man
of-war flag should, as hitherto, have
three tongues.

victory for the radical left. The right
