The Washburn Leader is in
error in supposing Bismarck wants
or is trying to rob that city of any
laurels it is entitled to regarding
the expedition Of Lewis and. Clark
or as to Sacawea. The movement
to place statue Of the Indian wo-
man in the capitol grounds was in
augurated by a Cass county woman
and the story of Sacawea pub
lished in the Tribune was taken
from a pamphlet distributed at
Portland and used by the Wo-
mems clubs Of this state to explain
the object of the movement for the
statue. The Tribunein no way is
responsible for thei errors COM
planned of by the Leader, and in
proof Of this agrees heartily with
the Leader as to the statement
that Lewis and Clark spent the
winter Of 1804-05 "at or near
Washburn instead of "at or near
Bismarck."-Tribune.

They are coming! Thousands of
new settlers are already within the
borders of the state and many more
to follow. There is hardly a state
paper that does not herald the ar
rival of new settlers, and they are
bringing with them cars of stock
and farm machinery prepared to
begin work and get in a crop the
coming year. They are the kind
We want. There Isl no question
but what they will make a success
and secure homes in a state that is
destined to become one. Of the most
prosperous. We are glad to vel
come the new settler, and believe.
that they!will not regret the move.

MR.. Won STEIdER BURIED.

A. L. Swanson, says the Wilton.
News, received a letter the fore
part Of the week from Mrs. Fannie
Brent, an acquaintance of Mrs.
Won Steiger, giving details of the
killing of Nh. Won Steiger. The
letter is dated Hermosillo, and
from its contents it appears that
Won Steiger, two other Americans
and a guard were attacked, Febru-
ary %, in the Sonora mountains
by the Yaqui Indians while the
party was on the way to some
mines in the interior. Won Steiger
was wounded at the first fire and
died soon afterwards. The Indi-
ans were driven off by the rest of
the party, which brought Won
Steiger's body to .Ures, Mexico,
from which place the party had
started to the mountains, and
buried it the next day. Mrs. Won
Steiger, the writer said, had re-
remained at Hermosillo, and had
only been told that her husband
had been desperately wounded,
which news hadso Frustrated her
that she had not yet been told the
entire truth. Later it is learned
that Mrs. Won steiger has been
made acquainted with the sad de-
tails, and is now. at Los Angles at
the home Of hershalf brother, the
son of s: A. Falconer, where she is
resting and recuperating from the
shock. She will return at some
future time when she is better able
to bear the fatigue Of the, trip, Mr..
Won Steiger's body will be neces-
sarily left in Mexico, as it cannot
now be moved.-Wilton News.

Chance to Speculate.

I ""' '7F'-E 'f II NaH- % - fE :
One Of our local real estate deal
ers has a proposition from a south
ern lady with a son who desires to
obtain homestead for herself and
son. The proposition is an inter-
esting one, and but for the fact
that it would possibly conflict with
the United States statutes. which
prohibits the speculation in govern
ment lands, there is no doubt but
that there are many here who would
be glad to contract with the lady as
she proposes. The lady desires a
home for herself and son, and asks
to be located on two homesteads
joining and desires to secure a
renter for the land, who is to have
free rent Of the two quarters by
making all improvements on the
land, paying taxes assessed against
the land, and doing road work with.
out cost to the homesteaders. The
lady says she is alone-her son be-
ing a sailor-andsdoes not want to
be to any expense or trouble in the
matter whatever. .Sherproposes to
contract with the renter for Eve.

But Does Not Wish to
intervene in Cuba.
OUR GOVERNMENT
Will Not Act in The Matter Unless the
Rebellion Should Grow Much
Larger than 1t Is Now.

Washington, d. C.-The critical
situation in Cuba is absorbing the at
tention of the administration to the
exclusion of all other foreign topics,
as indicated by the activity of the of
ficials in the state, navy ana war de-
partments. The president is keeping
in close touch with every develop
ment of the revolutionary movement
in Cuba and is in constant communi-
cation with the officials here
AS stated officially it is the purpose
of the administration to proceed with
great deliberation in dealing with the
Cuban question and it was said Tues.
day on the highest authority that
there would be no intervention by the
United States unless the rebellion as.
sumed the proportions of a general
conflagration. 1t was further stated
that there had been no application for
intervention from any authorized
party, which statement answered an
inquiry rs to whether any of the for.
eign governments whose citizens in.
terests We're suffering from the depre-
dations of the Cuban insurgents had
called upon the United States govern.
ment to step in and preserve the
peace.
Another interesting statement from
official sources was that none of the
American capitalists interested in
Cuban plantations and properties had
expressed a desire for the interven.
tion of this government under the
terms of the Platt amendment. On
the contrary it was stated these peo.
pie seemed to be adverse to any such
Intervention, fearing that it would
precipitate the destruction of their
properties.
The development of the day was
the admission that the American
cruiser Des Moines, which sailed
hastily from Norfolk on Monday. had
gone southwark to Key West with the
ultimate purpose of proceeding to
Havana, if developments warrant
such action. The ship will be at Ha,
vana to serve as an asylum in case
of need and to be at the disposition of
the American charge.
For its part, the army is prepared
to answer any call, though there are
no orders yet from the president or
secretary of war. The officers who
are responsible for campaign work
are merely making ready for any
emergency without specific instruc.
tions.

THE INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE.
It Holds Convention and Resolves to
Nominate State Ticket.

New York.-The first two ses-
sions of the independence League,
headed by William Randolph Hearst,
were held in this city Tuesday, the
first being called to order in Carnegie
hall at l o'clock in. the afternoon and
the second at o'clock last night
Temporary and permanent organiza-
tions were perfected and amid much
enthusiasm a platform setting forth
the principles of the league was
adopted.
The platform sets forth the funda-
mental idea of the league as inde-
pendence of boss rule or corporation
control and of any party subject to
these. 1t declares for "a free vote
and an honest count" and demands "a
revision of the present dishonest and
complex election law, simplified bal
lot and law providing for recount
in case of fraud or mistakes"
The platform declares that a
searching investigation of every ex-
ecutive department is due the public"
The convention declared positively
in favor of the nomination of a full
state ticket and instructed the COM
ulllIce Ou IcSOlullOllS W uTdIC SulJ-
able reply to w. j. Corners and 9TH
er delegates to the democratic state
convention at Buffalo, September 25.
They had presented memorial ask
ing the league to defer the nominat-
ing of state ticket until confer
ence could be had with the democrats
The convention also directed the
committee on resolutions to consider
and report on the qualifications of
candidates. A feature of the night
session was demonstration follow
ing the mention of Mr.. Hearst's name
which lasted half an hour. Mr.. Hearst
did not attend the sessions.
There was much disorder In the
convention when a motion to adjourn
until tonight was made after the rou-
tine business had been concluded
Many of the delegates did not want to
adjourn and protested, half hundred
or more clamoring for recognition,
while just as many cried for adjourn
ment The motion was finally gotten
before the convention and was car
ried.

DEATHS BY LIGHTNING.
They Are so Few It Is Hard to Get
Statistics for Them.

Timid people who are afraid of be-
Ing killed by lightning should take
refuge in statistics rather than in
feather beds. The one victim of the
storm which swept over Boston re-
Gently was leaning against an iron
bar, says the Boston Transcript. Yet
even in this dangerous environment
his chances of being killed were so ro-
mote that the experience might be
safely repeated by somebody else
thousands of times. The number Of
people who are actually killed by light.
ming is hard TO ascertain, because it
is so small that in most cases such
deaths go into the table as "other
causes" or are concealed in some 9TH
er fashion. The Boston board of
health, for example, uses the Bertil-
Ion registry system, and here deaths
caused by lightning would be hidden
under Electrical disturbances"
which includes also executions by
electricity, third-rail casualties, fatal
falls from electric light poles and live
wires, fatal shocks from dynamo, etc.
The registry department which classi-
fies deaths more correctly, does not
record a single instance of a person
killed by lightning in Boston since
1901. In the whole state there appear
to have been but three persons killed
by electric shocks from the clouds n
the last three years.
These figures ought to be reassuring
to those who always shudder when
ever they see a flash of lightning in
the thought it is bearing death in its
wake. There is something SO intangi.
BILE about the bolt from tho clouds that
the reasoning faculties of certain peo.
pie seem to be suspended during thun.
derstorms. They shrink from the
mysterious power, even though it may
be shown that more people die from
the bite of the common house cat than
from lightning. Such has been the
case in the past.
Another reason for the common
fear of lightning is our unfamiliarity
with it. If thunderstorms happened
every day of the year, we should prob
ably lose our fears. tuberculosis kills
more men than war, and we do not
spend the millions for fighting it that
we do in preparing coast defense and
erecting great navies. People do not
like to go to war because they may
get killed, but they run risks just as
great at home to which they give no
thought. The deadly microbe is al
ways with us, the lightning seldom.
Moreover, its sudden action gives a
dramatic terror to the occasional blow
which it delivers, making it vastly
more impressive than are the quiet
and more insidious foes of human
life.

Far Too Speedy for Speech.

The tremendous speed made in the
International automobile race over the
Ardennes circuit in Belgium is almost
beyond conception. To maintain an
average of nearly 70 miles an hour
through a run of 81 miles, which was
the record of the winner, must have
meant speed neighboring on 100
miles an hour for much of the dis
tance. Only in this way could time
lost on curves be made up. The race
makes very pat the story of Boston
millionaire who recently visited one
of the young Vanderbilts at Newport,
says the Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican. The visitor was taken for run
in a big racing automobile. He stood
the experience until the speed rose to
upward of so miles an hour, when. in
terror, he tried to call to the driver
beside him to slow up. But instead of
being able to call he found, so runs
the story, that once he had opened his
mouth he could not shut 1t, so vio-
lent was the blast. Fortunately the
stretch permitting such speed was
short.

DICKAND FORAKER
Seem to Have the Situation Well in

Dayton, ON Welfare hall, the
immense dining room of local
mandatory, arranged with a
seating capacity of nearly 1000, o. B.
Gould, chairman of the state central
committee, called the republican
state convention to order at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. The temporary
organization was announced as
agreed on by the state committee,
with eX-Gov. Myron I. Herrick as
temporary chairman, John r. Malloy,
of Columbus, temporary secretary and
Richard Gibson, of Steubenville, SER
geant-at-arms. Because of the un-
usual nature of the contest before the
convention great interest was mani
tested and the big hall was we'll filled
when the temporary chairman was
announced.
What promised to be simply rou-
tine beginning of the work OF the con-
yention developed into a somewhat
remarkable discussion OF party pol

regular opening address, in which he

AS minor point of interest came
the defeat of John r. Malloy as perma.
nent secretary of the convention.
The committee on permanent or
ganization decided on Gov. Harris for
permanent chairman and Wade Cush-
ing, Of Cincinnati, for secretary. BY
the latter selection Temporary Secre-
tary John r. Malloy was retired, but
Mr.. Cushing declared that he would
decline the office and move to name
Mr.. Malloy in his stead.
The members of the new state cen
trail committee, by whom the next
chairman of the executive committee
was chosen, were selected by the
various district delegations in the af-
ternoon, as follows:

Of Food
the Cause Of

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,

If teeth are faulty, soften Grape

There's a reason" as follows:-
Grape-Nuts food is in the form,
of hard and brittle granules,,
intended to. be ground UP by the:
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva,
from the gums so necessary in the
primary work of digestion. !
