DROWNED in
The MISSOURI
OLD RIVER MAN DROWNED IN MIS-.
souri, RIVER LAST WEEK-BODY
has NOT BEEN FOUND.

Capt. Mike Small, who run the
gasoline ferry boat at Sioux
Crossing" was drowned the first of
last week and up to the present
time the body has not been re-
covered. Capt. Small was work
ing in row boat when the acci-
dene happened. He with his crew
were crossing the river and had
approached pretty close to the
shore when the gasoline engine
stopped. Mr.. Small and another
man jumped into a row boat and
tried to reach the shore with
rope. This they were unable to
do SO rowed back to the ferry
boat. In approaching the boat
they became careless and allowed
the boat to be struck by the pad
die wheel which was still revolving
slowly. The row boat was upset
and both men thrown into the
water. Mr.. Small in his
efforts to get hold of something,
caught one of the paddles
of the large wheel. This jerked
his arm up until it struck the
shield which covered the wheel
and the arm was probably broken.
The man was then carried under
the boat. He came to the surface
several rods below the boat and
thrust one hand, which grasped
his hat, above water. This was
the last ever seen of him. The
other man who was in the boat
, escaped.
Mr.. Small came to. this country
| years ago with Capt. Bailey. His
home was in South Dakota.

Last Sunday evening about 10
o'clock news reached here of the
burning to death of the three-year-
old son of Clifford Howard, who
lives in Eight Mile Bottom just
below Trenton.
It appears that the father and
mother had attended a dance at
Trenton the night of the Fourth
and were sleeping later than usual
Sunday morning, and in the mean
time the children had gone out to
play. Just how it happened per-

before the parents could be aroused
the little one was so badly burned

of the preparation of the platform
to a subcommittee of seventeen
members to be appointed by the
chair; buI before these appoint
ments were announced the full
committee listened to arguments
in support of various planks
which will be offered for adoption.
The first of the hearings was on
the subject of the improvement of
the inland waterways and on this
subject arguments were made by
Congressman Ransdell of Louisi-
ana and Gov. Broward of Florida.
Mr.. Broward took the position
that liberal pronouncement in
favor of the improvement of the
water courses of the interior
would prove the means of obtain
ing many votes and therefore
urged the proposition as matter
of practical politics. Mr.. Clarke
asked for the approval of a plan
for the Improvement of the water
ways which contemplates the issue
of $500, 900, 900 in bonds for that
purpose.
The appointment of committees
was quickly disposed of. For a
a moment the Pennsylvania row
threatened to throw the assembly
into the widest confusion. Ollie
James of Kentucky, voicing the
Bryan sentiment, endeavored to
refer the fight to the credentials
committee. Against this, Col.
Guffey and his lieutenants, pale
and gesticulating wildly, sought to
interpose protest. But it wasof
no avail. And then the smooth
running machinery consigned the
question to the credentials COM
mittee, where Mr.. Bryan's adher-
ents are supreme and the Guffey
forces retired, full of wrath and
disgust.
Governor John Burke of North
Dakota was selected by the dele
cation from this state, in caucus
last night as the North Dakota
member of the committee on plat
form and resolutions.
The delegation caucused in it's
headquarters in the Savoy select
ing Gov. Burke as chairman and
F. w. Mclean vice chairman and
secretary. The selection of Will
liam Collins of Bottineau for ma
tional committeeman, made by the
state convention, was ratified by
the delegation and the following

chosen:

in MEMORY OF THE
LATE VICTOR CHAFFEE
The Grand Forks Evening Times Of July 7th Editorally
Pay. the Following Tribute to Victor Chaffee
Who Died at His Home Here
Monday July 9Th

Today Grand Forks stands
with bowed head beside the bier of
one of her truest and noblest citi-
zens. Seldom does the pale horse
and his rider leave so wide a circle
of mourning tribute within his al
lotted fourth part of the earth over
which he has dominion. 1t has
been said with some seeming truth
that death loves a shining mark.
Certain it is that when the fell de-
stroyer touched with his icy hand
the victim in whose memory this
tribute is paid, he took one OF the
fairest and brightest gems from
earth.
''Victor Chaffee has abuntantly
filled his allotted sphere in life,
and no man could have been called
with his impress more indelibly
stamped upon the people with
whom he lived for quarter of q
century in this city. In that time
there has been abundant oppor-
tunity to measure his worth and
discover his deficiencies. But
when the balance is struck it will
be found that he has all on the
credit side Of life.
He was one Of Gods noblemen.
He has not achieved fame or re-
nown by the methods by which
these thing are usually acquired.
But he had built a character that
will stand untarnished and un-
changed when adamant shall have
crumbled into dust and bronze
shall have fallen beneath the iron
grip of decay. He knew not de-
ception. He scorned subterfuge.
He loved truth and integrity.
For twenty years he was en-
gagged in business in this city and
in that time no man can point to
an act that does not bear the hall
mark of honesty and intregity.
In his public life he has been true
to the principles which guided him
in private fidelity to duty, unim-
peachable honesty and unswerving
loyalty have been the guiding stars
of his acts.
LAS a friend he rang true as
steel. He was loyal to the high
est degree. And when his friend
ship was once secured he remain
ed steadfast to it, no matter what
the consequences to himself. So
long as the individual merited his
fidelity, so long would it be given
in unstinied quantities. Loyalty
to his principles and loyalty to his
friends were part of his religion.
No one ever merited that loyalty
that did not receive it.
''No stately monument may
mark the place where will be laid
all that is left of mortality. But
the overfowing hearts, the tear
dimmed eyes, the bowed heads,
the tender and earnest words Of
love and esteem of those who
knew him best will be a prouder
monument to his memory and
grander tribute to his worth than
human hands can chisel from mar
BILE or cast in bronze.
"Were it required to write IN
one sentence the highest tribute
to the dead, it would certainly be-

FORAKER OF OHIO.
The Fire-Alarmist and The
Strenuous Teddy.

Foraker fights at the drop OF the
hat. and all his fights are conducted on
a personal basis. He Is not man
who battles for an ideal. for cause.
or even for a party. His tongue and
his brain are for Foraker, from the
first dash out OF the box to the Gar
rison finish. There Is no poetical SEN
timentality about Foraker's moves In
the game, says Sloane Gordon In a
highly entertaining character sketch
OF the Ohio senator In the December
Hampton's Broadway Magazine. For

OF the president from every stump.
He was the recognized disburser OF

state. Then there was a quick, In

never been told about that split. II

the contributions and their source. but
that the president was party TO their

sidered the presidential show of hor-
rifled surprise and OF righteous In
dignation" az hypocritical. and did not
hesitate to say SO.
That was the real beginning OF the
final split between the senator aud
the president. With CHARACTERISTIC
vigor, Foraker made remarks about
Roosevelt. Shortly afterward, az the
Washington Gridiron club banquet,
Roosevelt returned the attack, and
Foraker came back with few sledge-

When Foraker took up the Browns.

OF enmity to Roosevelt. The president
had been tramping upon his senatorial
ltoes-criticising his vote on the rail-

patronage from him as a punishment.

CHAPTER XINl.

The king Of Bahama got back to
Bomberg In a black rage. all the black
er because he was defeated. He was
too late. His position was, indeed.
humiliating. The palace lay half In
ruins. his daughter had been stolen,
and his soldiery stood In the palace
square dumfounded and doubling.
He said never q word as he. alighted
from the car. but stalked across the
courtyard and up the stairs to his own
room.
Ludwig followed hard at his heels,
but he paid no heed to that young
man whatsoever. and without so much
as an apology his majesty slammed
the door In his face when he sought to
enter.
His majesty sat for a long time
alone, wondering what the end of 1t
all would be. The whole world, as
he had known 1t. was being turned
upside down by the young man at
whom he had laughed. at whom he had
jeered and whom he had defied.
He realized that his position was ex-
tremely dificult. He saw that he was
to q great extent the cause OF the up.
heaval In which the whole world was
now called TO take part.
His position of security was slipping
away from him. The part which he
had played In nicely balancing the
powers Of Europe by reminding them
that but for the good humor of the
Balkan states Europe must OF neces-
sity be always at war no longer held
good.
A hundred times he asked himself
what Europe woVd do. He debated
the whole question methodically and
scientifically. But however he looked
at 1t, however. he reasoned, there al
ways remained the painfully dominat-
ing fact that 1t was upon himself that
the new peril centered--that he was
at once the cause of the center of
the attack. And he knew well enough
that, II he stood In the way OF the
peace of Europe, or II the upholding
of the status quo was imperiled. he
would be Immediately sacrificed.
It was indeed q strange time to live
in even for the monarch Of our state.
And before he went to dinner he
found himself putting Bomberg and
the country under martial law as he
would have ordered his horse for the
morrow's ride.
