INDIANS AT
r,
The EXPOSITION

Bismarck Tribune: All arrange
ments have been made for the ap-
pearance here of between 500 and 500
Indians during the exposition next
month. General Manager Gilbreath
has received word from the Indians
themselves, from the agent at the res
erVatlon and from the department, all
assuring him that there will be no
hitch in the appearance of the red
men here. -...# ..@@
Among the exhibitions given by the
original settlers of the country will be
some features that have never before
been shown off the reservation.
Among them will be the Sit
ting Bull dances and a faithful Dor
trayal OF the Custer battle. In the
latter affair there will be several com
panies of. the national guard of the
state participate and everything will
be done to make the affair realistic
and startling.
Another unique feature Of the v1s1r
OF the Indians Will be that they will
come here with exhibits of the result
or their prowess In the agricultural
line. Their will be exhibits Of grain.

large stock exhibit. This will give the

man. The older Indians will be here
with their tepees and earlier modes OF

have given up the blanket, will also

cation of members Of the tribe here
within a few days to put the finishine

This plan assures visitors to the ex-
position n of the most unique enter

probably be the last "big show" ever

OF the old dances and costumes gill

InPERATOR FIRE
!. FATAL TO WOMAN
MINNESOTA PASSENGER ON I'M
PERATOR. DIED OF SHOCK
BURIED AT ST. PETER.

J. st. Peter, Mimi, Sept. 4.-When the
steamship Imperator, the largest yes
sci af1oat, was swept by flames as she
lay at her dock in Hoboken last
Thursday, a pathetic little tragedy
was enacted. 1t passed unnoticed in
the general tumult and did not come
to light until yesterday, when Mrs.
Henry Schmidt reached ST. Peter with
the body OF her mother, Mrs. Carlotta
Moring. The latter died a few hours
after h was taken from the burning
vessel, her death resulting from the
shock n excitement. "
Early last spring Mrs. Schmidt went
to Germany to visit her aged mother.
Mrs. Moring was without kin in her
native land. and in spite of her Sc
years. expressed a desire to come to
America to spend her declining wears
with her daughter. This wish was
granted, and for months the elder
woman had been building hopes for
the future. d
Nearing the end of their voyage on
the Imperator, Mrs. Schmidt was TAX
en- i'll and removed to the ships hospi-
tai, he sudden illness preventing the
two women from going ashore on the
evening the vessel reached port. At 8
q, m. the following day the fire was
discovered.3 ~ - g L't.
Panic-stricken passengers in the
steerage rushed to the upper decks of
the steamer, and then, the vessels
crew began its fight to subdue the
flames. They were aided by the Ho-
boken fire department and a fleet of
fireboats from New York, but for four
hours the two women were compelled
to wait helplessly In their cabin,
Mrs. Moring did not show .particu-
lar evidence of the intense nervous
strain until she reached the pier. Then
she collapsed and was taken to a hos
pital and a few hours later expired.

RESPONSIBILITY UPON MEXICO,

Having rejected friendly offices of
the United States in bringing peace to
a trouble-ridden country, responsible
Atty for the outcome rests solely upon
Mexico. Obligation of the authorities
at Mexico City contemplates protec-
ton to the persons and properties 70
foreigners, for which they are answer
able to the United States, primarily,
under operations OF the Monroe doc
trine.
Mild in its tenor and bearing every
mark OF absolute sincerity, there is.
nevertheless, clear implication in the
proposal Of President Wilson, which
fhe Huerta regime rejected, that this
country has moral responsibilities in
the premises. no less than obligation
under it's role Of defender Of the ma
Sional integrity of smaller nations on
this hemisphere. These are to be ex-
@rcised with wisdom and patience. So
aong as the Mexican people restrict
lighting to themselves, respecting for
eigners and foreign interests, no right
OF interference exists. For the pres
emit then, the only course Of this coun-
try is, as President Wilson states, to
let them fight, seeing to it that neither
/ draws aid or comfort from this
side Of the border.
simultaneously with the message
from the president to congress-, the
Huerta side of the controversy was
promulgated by his minister of for
eign affairs, Gamboa. There are in it
only two points worth considering, the
others being empty %twaddle. The
points referred to may be considered
AS one. It is asserted that it is "a
Rrue and honorable administration"
and that nations do not propose arm
ast1ces with bandits" A nation has no
''trle and honorable administration"
shat arises from the corpse of a chief
executive, chosen In q constitutional
manner. assassinated by his supposed
friends acting in conjunction with the
same sort Of revolution that is now
termed ~"bandits.'
Unwittingly, and impelled by a fool
Ssh idea OF pride and dignity, Huerta
and his advisers have probably done
the best possible thing for their coun-
try. The revolution will proceed, and
eventually, from present indications,
Eorce interference by the United States,
and{from this will follow a stable gov
ernr1ent, properly chosen and safe
guarded by this country. Until this
takes place there isn't likely to be en-
during peace and contentment in Mex
SEQ. TO believe otherwise would mean
that the traits, history and traditions
of these people have been changed, and
Of this there is as yet no sign.

Fingers
.UTGs
F.. OFF SHERIFF.

Boise, Ida, Sept. 4.-Former Cong.
Edgar Wilson, after being placed un-
der arrest here today on a charge of
inebriedie, whipped out a revolver and
shot Deputy Sheriff Harry Champlin.
It was believed he intended to take
his own life. t..,- &c.
The bullets took off two of Champ
Inns fingers and then struck him in
the head, blowing a furrow alSng his
scalp. His hand DETECTED the bullet
just enough to prevent a mortal
wound. .# W..
The shooting occurred in the sher-
ifs office after Wilson had been talk
en- there from his home by Charnplin
and another deputy. He went peace
ably to the sheriff's office, but while
being searched there, he suddenly
drew a revolver and in the struggle
that followed the weapon was dis
charged.
Those who witnessed the affair are
convinced that Wilson intended to
commit suicide.
Wilson represented Idaho at Wash
fngton from 1895 to 1898. He was as
sociate counsel for the defense in the
trials of Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone here in 1907, following the as
~sassination of Ex-Governor Stunen-
burg of Idaho.

TWO DEAD IN
ELDRIDGE WRECK
BODIES OF JOHN LlskA AND
MATT BEGOVlTCH TURNED
OVER TO THE COUNTY.

Jamestown, N. D., Sept. 4.-The toll
of the dead of the Eldridge train
wreck is now placed at two, with
possibly a third man, whose body is
buried beneath the debris.
The body of John Liska, probably
of Sacramento, Cal, was taken from
the wreck Tuesday.
East Chicago, Ind, was rescued and
brought to Jamestown where he died
shortly afterwards. He last worked
at Mass, Mich, and seemed to be a
member of the Miners Union and
Federation.
{Begovitch said there were three of
them in a a of lumber and the er-
mains of the third man will probably
be discovered later.
The freight wreck west of Ed
ridge was cleaned up early Tuesday
evening and trains were gotten
through the debris about 9 a. m.
The accumulation of trains here and
west kept the local yards busy for
hours Sp~eedingSthe departing and re-
ceiving in the delayed trains from
the west.
Many from jamestown went out to
visit the scene Of the wreck and take
pictures of the piles of debris and
ofEthe hundreds of dead sheep. The
wreckage was conglomeration Of one
car of wheat, several cars of lumber
and timbers, ten cars sheep and sew
eral cars of merchandise. About l.
900 of the 1850 sheep in the shipment
were saved and driven to stock yards
to be cared for.
The wreck occurred at the west
switch at the siding at Oswego, at
the east end Of a curve and on a
down grade. It is possible that the
exact cause of the wreck will not be
known but it has been suggested that
possibly a break beam dropped down
and got under the wheels, If it did
not strike the point of the switch
and open it sufficiently to cause the
derailment OF the first car. The cars
piled up on top of each other like
matchboxes, so completely were they
destroyed and mixed together in a
long mass of wreckage. Piece oy
piece. the small fragments were torn
from the mass by the wrecking out
fits, making the. work Of clearing the
debris very slow. -~ Il

SAVING MONEY FOR FARGO.

! President Emery and Commissioner
plan to take care Of the outstanding
indebtedness Of Fargo that will mean
a big saving to the city. 1t is a bust
ness like proposition, and will I'M
doubtedly meet with the hearty and
unanimous approval Of Fargo citizens.
Fargo does not have a big public
debt. In fact it is a very small debt
for a. city Of the size. and with the
esource Of Fargo. The trouble is
that the debt is in poor shape. 1t is
in warrants, many Of which are al
ready due, and more of which will be-
come due in a short time, and for
which no provision has been made to
retire them.
This does not mean that the city Is
in bad shape financially. 1t simply
means that the old aldermanic system,
did business in a slip shod manner and
contracted debts without planning
ahead and figuring to take care of
them when they came due.
Now the commission proposes to
clean up the whole tangled mass, get
these struggling odds and ends Of
obligations into one lump sum, and
save the city about $4,000 annually, at
one business-like stroke. Fargo's
commission has proved its worth from
the moment it took charge of affairs,
hfIt M nrn IN Cto "a lo.-. 9,
for a charge has been more illuminat-
ing than this simple plan for taking care
of the vexing debt problem.

the subject. says The New York Jour
nal OF Commerce. Some of them show
a desire to take part in the exhibition.
notwithstanding the cost and the
doubtful prospect Of a return in in
creased trade. ,. ...-
There is not at present much direct
trade between Europe and the Ameri-
can Pacific coast, on account OF the
distance and the cost Of Transports
ton. whether across the continent or
around the Horn. How much benefit
1t may receive from the opening Of the
canal cannot now be calculated: but
the American attendance at the expo
sition will by no meal be confined to
the Pacific coast and the Rocky
mountain region. The advertising eff
feet will be felt by the whole country.
Apart from this purely commercial
consideration, participation In the ex-
hibitiOn Is calculated to promote good
understanding and amicable relations
between the countries represented.
That is worth while at some little
cost, even if there is no substantial
return in any other form. With that
view the governments should take the
lead and encourage their subjects to
prepare for an effective display of
their wares. They cannot be expected
to do SO if their governments do not
take sufficient interest to be properly
represented.
The event to be celebrated is of ex-
ceptiOnal interest to all civilized ma
tons, and the opening of the canal
will be of worldwide benefit to indus
try and commerce. 1t is to be hoped
that any purpose to refrain from par
ticipation will be reconsidered, and
every proper means should be taken
to induce a change of. view on the
question. No opportunity of promot-
ing peace and good will among ma
lions should be neglected.

FOREIGNERS AT FRISCO.

There seems to be a growing dis
satisfaction i both Great Britain and
Germany at the announcement that
their governments would not provide
for representation at the San Francis
GO exposition in celebration of the
opening of the Panama canal. and
there is still the chance of a reversal
OF the preliminary official decision.
This is especially the case in Great
britain. The idea that resentment
over the toll question has anything to
do with 1t is earnestly repealed, and
certainly IT would be unworthy OF the
great empire to allow that to deter
mine. The chief reason given both In
England and Germany lis that manu-
facturers Ind traders do not respond
to the suggestion Of preparing to in
stall exhibits Of their own. on the
ground that 1t would cost SO much
and would not pay ia any probable in
crease OF their trade with the Pacific
which is not now of much i'm
portance to them.

Almost everyone knows that Sage

was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly! You dampen a sponge or

through your hair, taking one small

hair disappears, and after another ap-

English Etiquette.

New York Evening Post: London
has at least recognized that English
etiquette 10 too complicated to be
picked up by the foreigner, as a mere
matter of observation and imitation,
and has provided for him a course at
the University of London. Hereafter,
therefore, there will be no excuse for
violating those essentials of decorum
that have made the British capital the
despair of all other civilized .5centers.
The sensibilities of Londoners will no
longer be offended by the b%arbarous
disregard of the rule that tweeds and
a Norfolk jacket may be worn from
Friday afternoon to Monday morning,
but at no other time during the week,
unless, as the dispatches put it. one
Is really n truly going to the coun-
try. 1t is confidently hoped, also, that
visitors from less polite countries will
not again be so careless of the first
principles of good breeding as to go
within four miles of a river without
white flannel trousers, white canvas
shoes, white socks, and a straw hat,
even IL the temperature makes a fur
overcoat necessary in addition. The
university, it appears, does not under
a k to explain far. less justify, these
rules. Its risk is sufficiently heavy in
the drill that will be required to force
them into the heads of the backward
foreigner.

An American Statesman,

Boston Advertiser: 1t is refreshing
to find at least M American states
man who dares to say what he thinks,
and to do what he considers right. not
only without fear of the war lobby,
but with absolute contempt for it..
The attitude of President (Huerta,
in blocking the path to the acceptance
of the wise, sound and friendly peace
proposals Of President Wilson, will
hurt Mr.. Huerta far more than it is
likely to affect President Wilson. The
American chief executive has nothing
particular to lose by the delay. He has
made plain his position and has won
the approval Of the civilized world, as
well as that of all sensible Americans
in SO doing.
