In these days, when the worlds empire

and when the very machinery of govern
ment is supposed to be in the grip of this
democracy, it is really interesting to note,
after all, how much of the worlds policies
and the movements affecting whole peoples
are determined by certain central and dom

These personalities must prove them

make good to the modern man, otherwise

Letter FROM FINLAND.
n. c. Wsgner Gets Information Regard
Ing SeIdels' Relatives.

Public Administrator N.
G. Wegner has received
letter from FIR. Warho. at
Eurajoki, Finland, who writes
at the request of the rela-
tives of Frank w. and Alex
andra Seidel, who we're
murdered by the Peltiers and
Little Rising Sun at Somber
Sunday, June 21.
Mr.. Warho states that Seideps
mother is still living at the age
of 84 years. He states that she
is in poor circumstances and
almost entirely dependant up
on charity for support. Seidel
also had two brothers and
sister. The elder brother, Juha
Makitupa, aged 48, is the father
of the late Alexandra Seidel.
The writer states that Makitu-
pas name was formerly Sun
dell and the girl is referred to
as Amanda Alexandra Sundell.
She (Alexandra) had two sisters
and three brothers. The writer
states that Alexandra's father
is woodsawyer and the family
is very poor.
Seidel's aged mother is the
sole heir to his property.
The letter is in Swedish and
is very we'll written. The
writer states that Seidel had
been in America about thirty
years, living for some time at
Portland, Oregon, where he
owned property, before coming
to BOttineau county.

There are few men on the

make the lecture popular, and
at the same time instructive,
as any man in the lyceum field.
Nature has endowed Mr.. Nc

compared the state platforms

making a strong appeal for the
election of G. A. Johnson, cam

imperative need of every re-

North Dakota's Executive Spent Thr ee
Days In This County.

John Burke, North Dakota's 8
democratic governor who will
be succeeded by a republican
in January, 1909, honored Bot
tineau county with his distin-
guished presence Saturday,
Sunday and Monday.
He came up from Rugby
Saturday and visited the towns
along the Great Northern
branch from Willow City to
Westhope, where he spent Sun
day. Monday he spoke at
Maxbass, Eckman, Newburg,
Russell, Kramer, and Deep,
going thence into McHenry
county.
The governor spoke about an
hour in Bottineau Saturday
afternoon between two and
three o'clock. National Com
rnitteeman Collins brou ght him
from Rugby in his automobile,
Senator Macarthur accompanied
them. The executive was in
troduced by A. BesancOn, and
the Bottineau Military band
enlivened the occasion with
musical selections, Greiners S
opera house, where the, speak
ing occurred, was half-flled, a
large number of the audience
being women.
Gov. Burke divided his time
between national and state
issues. He discussed the tariff,
trusts, guarantee of bank de-
posits and conservation of
national resources. The re-
mainder of his talk was devoted
to defense of his administration,
and it was generally remarked
that his talk was widely diff
ferent from that indulged in
two yeaas ago when he was
the critic instead of the defend
err. He dwelt at some length
on the subject of railroad as
sessments, but forgot to tell
his audience why he made no
attempt to raise them durin 9
the first year of his administra-
ton. Law enforcement was
approached gently and noise
lessly, for the governor did not
want his hearers to recollect
what he had said on this subject
two years ago. The whole
matter was dismissed with the
simple declaration II am sworn
to enforce the law, and couldn't
do otherwise if | so desired."
The governor is pleasing
speaker and his address on
Saturday was far better than
the one delivered upon the
occasion of the visit of the
democratic candidates to the
old settlers picnic here in July.
