To Arrive Here from Evarts Today or
Tomorrow
Last Saturday was an eventful
dav on our water front. an un-
usual circumstance happening,
when two boats passed here on
their way up and down the river.
The one from up the river was
an elegant house boat about 30
feet long and IL feet wide. luxu-
riantlv furnished with everything
necessary for comfortable house
keeping. The proprietor and cap
tain of it was Mr.. Il. j. Wilson,
who is also president and manager
of the National Electric Construc-
tion Company of St. Louis, Mo.
The first mate or clerk was MIR.
Roy Gibson, who is also secretary
of the same company. Besides
these there was deck hand and
Mr.. Wilson's wife and little daugh-
ter. Edith, after whom the boat
was named. Their many curiosi-
ties. with the charm of the mex
haustible stories of adventure that
they had to tell, kept almost a
continuous stream of visitors COM
ing and going to the boat.
The party originally started
from Portland, Oregon, where
they made an exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark centennial exposition,
and they were now on their way
to the Jamestown (Va.) 4OOth cen
tennial for the same purpose, 90
ING bv water as far as St. Louis.
Their fleet was constructed at Ft
Benton. Mont. and in addition tC
the house boat consisted of a gas
oline launch, another flatboat anC
two skiffs. The last four were
lost in an encounter with the cable
ferry at Fort Lincoln, four mile.

life. He has presented a bill t.
the cable company for damages t,
the amount of $3.50. At Pierre h'
intends to either purchase anothe
launch or equip the house boa
with gasoline engine.
One Of the most interesting a,
fractions on the boat was a yo,n
spotted doe OF the Whitehall specie
which was captured this spring o.
the bank of the river, when orr
about three days old. 1t was no,
about a foot and half high, colore
brown, with white spots. and til
greatest pet imaginable. Their
was other live stock also. consist
ing OF two well bred dogs and
dozen chickens, which latter wer
keeping the crew supplied wit
hen fruit.
The boat going up the river wa
the Susie, with large scow j
tow, from Chamberlain, bound fo
Evarts. She was in charge O
Messrs. c. l.. Waugh and j. T
Arnold, one of whom had his wifi
and child along, with housekeeT
ing outfit also. They stopped her
over night to get new supply G
gasoline, and were going up to ge
Mr.. Warmers ten car loads of lun
bcr etc to bring back to the Ager
cy. The boat is due to return O
the coming Saturday.
This venture will be watche
with much interest; for, if
proves profitable to Mr.. Warne
it will mean the loss of practical
all of the freight business from tt

cago & North Western at Getty
burg-a loss, however, that is g,

A Remarkable Claim.

A writer in the New York Tribune
has gone to the trouble to investi-
gate in detail the merits of a most
unusual piece of legislation that
passed the Senate a few days ago.
His inquiry confirms the impression
that had already been established
here, that the measure ought not
to have passed, and that if it shall
become law it will establish an un-
just and dangerous precedent.
When General Butler entered New
Orleans in 1862 the Citizens Bank
of Louisiana, a government deposi-
tary Of the Confederacy, was called
upon to pay over TO him such funds
Of the Confederate States as il held.
This was strictly in accordance with
the laws of war, and the money was
paid over. 1t was not the money of
the stockholders but of the Confed-
crate government. But after many
years of effort, the bank, which is
still in existence, has secured pas
sage through the Senate of a bill
to pay the amount-s215, ,s2o. Sc
back to the bank.
1t cannot, of course, be paid back to
the Confederate government, which
owned it. 1t should not be paid
to the bank, which never owned it.
The stockholders of the bank will
get the benefit of it, and, as is
pointed out by Henry T. Tremain
in the New York paper, they have
no possible claim to il.
This claim, now forty-four wears
old, was In the Court of Claims
many years. Mr.. Tremain declares
there never has been a Judgment of
any court that the Federal Govern
ment was liable TO the bank for II
Last December Attorney General
Moody passed on q petition which
asked that the President nav over
the amount, without anv Congress
sional action. The Attorney Cen
eral overruled this, but did not de-
eide 10 whom the money belonged.
Clearly, it belonged 10 the Confed-
crate government, not to the share
holders of the bank. To paw it now
to the bank is most remarkable
gratuity, which is alike lacking in
justification and dangerous in prec-
edent.
SO many claims which possess far
greater merit than this one are in
continently rejected, without even
fair consideration. that the wonder
is increased at the smoothness of
the unobjected passage of the dona-
Tion involved in this case. The
pathway Of claim bills through Con-
gress is additionally thorny. In
this case, however, the claim seems
TO have moved through on creased
sdds, and the mystery of it certain
Iy ought to have open-air investira-
tion before it becomes law.

A Victory for True Sport.

Georgetown alumni and under
graduates can afford to take n
great deal OF pride in the showing
of their crew at Poughkeepsie. In
the things that make manly sport
the performance of their boat rem
resents more than dozens of VIC
tories obtained under other circum-
stances, whether by Georgetown s
rivals or by Georgetown.
For this crew met singuIarIy try
ing obstacles and fought them all
with the purest grit. 10 was held to
the strictest standards of amateur
sport, which should have been done
under any circumstances. But more
than that, it was denied manv of
the advantages which such a crew
might reasonably expect-a sepa-
rate table, the privilege of rowing
In the cool evening instead of the
hot afternoon, and so on.
When the men reached the course
they must have expected TO be
beaten. They were entered against
crews which had enjoyed every pos
sible indulgence. They were almost
newcomers against veterans. But
all this did not lessen their determi-
nation to do their best for their
Alma Mater. They rowed with all
their might-and when they were
beaten, they cried the tears of man
" disappointment.
What vastly better thing that
race was than any series of vic
tories won in the name of clean
sport by men professedly profess
sionals. How far removed it is on
the one hand, from the deceit of
summer ball elsewhere and on the
other hand. the brazen indulgence
of it which is proposed for George
townl Can any friend of the local
college doubt which tends to pro
huce the more manly men? Surely
not.
And if the graduates of George
