SKATER RANCHER'S DREAM
DANIEL Russell, DICKINSON, NOT
MISSING BOSTON HEIR,
Detectives Declare He Came of French
Percentage; Was Born in
Illinois.

Bismarck. N. D., Sept. 27.-The as
sertion of Daniel Russell, the rancher,
that he is heir to 100000 estate in
Melrose, Mass, seems likely to be ex-
ploded.
Since Russell said he was the missing
son of the Melrose Russell, small
army of detectives have been tracing
his career. One detective reported that
Russell was the real Daniel, but his
declaration of having been a Mason
looked suspicious and on further in
vestigation it was found his claim to
having been made a Mason in an IL
linois lodge was without foundation.
Detectives then set out to find his
parents and have proved that he is the
son of French Canadians, named Rus.
seau, and that he has a sister with
whom he has corresponded in the past
few years. He had a surgical operation
short time age and his parents had
his sister write to the DOMAIN Catholic
priest at Dickinson and also to Russell
himself and the letter was seen by a
number of the residents of Dickinson
The Daniel Russell, of Boston, had no
sister.
When Russell appears before the
Massachusetts courts he will be con.
tronted with REPUTATION of his claims
and If he persists in sticking to his as
sertions he may face term in prison
Dan Russeau was born in Illinois and
was married there.
He is said to have left his wife and
went to Dickinson.
His attorneys and the people of Dick
inson believed his story and Russeau
has made a good impression in the
east, but detective, who was here Fri
day, said that there is no truth in

Charles e. Gehring, chairman Of the

has admitted that Tammany had
cheated his organization at the prima-

Mr.. Gehring also said that at en-

as members of the Independence

Official Paper OF City and County
A Critic of the Democratic Party.

A Critic of the Democratic Party.
1.-The National Democrat, monthly
journal issued at Minneapolis, has adj
dressed itself to the task of building
up the democratic party. 81 do not
think" says the editor, "that demo-
Gratis ought to fight each other" where
upon he proceeds to indicate the party
needs. First of these is the retire
ment of Norman E. Mack from the
craftsmanship of the national commit
tee and the election of Congressman
Lloyd of Missouri to succeed him.
''The next step should be to reorgan-
ize every democratic state committee.
Put in good, live, earnest workers as
leaders ~
Of Franklin MacVeagh, the apostate
democrat in the Taft cabinet, the editor
says he was "driven OUT of the demo-
cratic party "by our wild chase after
the God of Free Silver, but l am proud
of him even now." Grover Cleveland
is referred to as "the greatest man
produced by the democratic party since
Thomas jefferson. The party in 1896
is denounced for allowing itself Ito be
carried away with the free and unlimit-
ed silver craze instead of thinking what
the result would have been to our
country if this country alone had adopt
cd tho ci1yer standard ~
There is high praise of Governor
johnson who challenges the common
sense of the democratic fragment to
rally to the ancient but discredited dem
ocratic doctrine which once built up for
our country glorious and triumphant
merchant marine.
The more than million democrats
who have been voting for Mr.. Bryan
feel that they owe no one an apology
for having followed their convictions,
and they will resist any effort to wrest
the democratic organization from then
with the purpose of putting the party
ont he back trail. Telegraph.

The Fruit of Republicanism.

'tThe condition of the treasury at the
close of August" says Washington
dispatch, ''makes it quite clear that an
issue of treasury certificates of indebt-
edness cannot be many weeks delay
ed.''
Men Of foresight long ago knew that
not only would there be deficit of
staggering proportions, but that the
government would be compelled to bor-
row money to meet its ordinary needs.
The issue of treasury certificates
bearing interest has all the effect of
an issue of bonds.
Deficits and bond issues in time of
peace attest the enormous increase in
expenditures of the national govern
ment. They prove that imperialism
and its attendant evils, incense to the
god of war, and the perpetuation of
the same party in power in the gov
eminent until reckless unccncern Of
the burdens imposed upon the people
has been bred and wastefulness and ex-
travagence encouraged, are followed
by day of reckoning when the cost
must be counted.
That day has arrived and it is met by
borrowing more money, staving off the
first reckoning.
Not only is the national administa-
ton increasing expenditures out of all
proportions to its revenue income, but
it is plunging the nation deeper into
debt, increasing the load which poster.
ity will have to bear.
But it is doing all this with the APP
parent approval Of the people. For the
people understand, or should have un,
derstood last November, that in voting
to continue the republican party ir
power, they were approving the nation
al policies of jingoism, waste and ex,
travagance. Telegraph Herald.
