Paris Fortifcations Claimed
To Be Strongest in the World
Consist Of Three Distinct Circles With High Walls, Solid Mason
~ Bristing With Guns.

here from Paris state that all the
gates still existing are now closed at
eight o'clock at night, with rigid reg
ulations against movements from
within or without. 4
The second line of forts includes
the famous fortress of Montvalerian,
which was the centre Of attack in the
German siege of 1870. 1t is strength
ened by two groups Of works-Paut-
es .Bruyeres and the Chatillon fort
and batteries. South of the city is
the row of forts at Ivry, Bictre, Mont
Rouge, Vanves and Issy, North and
east of the city are three great forts
around st. Denis, and two others at
Fort Aubervillers and Fort Charen-
ton. commanding the approaches
from great wood of Bondy.
Defences Require 10000 Men.
The outer circle Of forts which are
of the most modern type, have from
twenty-four to sixty heavy guns, and
six hundred to twelve hundred men.
In all three lines of defences require
one hundred and seventy thousand
men to operate them, not counting
troops assembled within the city. Ac-
cording to military experts it would
require a force of rive hundred thous.
and men to invest these d%efences.
General Count Won MOltke, field
marshal of the German forces at the
time of the siege of Paris of 1901,
stated in a report on that siege that
the French artillery armament con-
sisted of more than tWenty-six hund-
red pieces, including two hundred Of
the largest calibre of naval ordnance.
There were five hundred rounds for
each gun, and a reserve of three mil
lion Kilograms of powder. Count, Won
Moltke emphasized that thee lombard.

Of an enemy's country was difficult,
if not impossible, unless the invader
was master of the railways or water.
ways by which heavy siege artillery
could be brought up in full quantity.
He explains the failure to lombard
Paris at the outset of the siege by
saying 1t would require three hun
dred heavy guns with five hundred
rounds for each gun. The movement
forward of these heavy guns would
have required ~fOrty-five hundred four
wheeled wagons and ten thousand
horses, which were not available.
At a later stage the Germans
brought up their big siege guns at
lacking the enciente and ports, and
dropping 300 to 400 15.centimeter
shells into the heart of the city. Not
withstanding the fury Of the German
attacks, Paris withstood the siege for
1872 days. Since then the entirely
new and outer third line of defense
has been erected and military ex-
perts say the Notifications as a
whole are far more formidable than
those which resisted the siege Of
1901.

SERIOUS CHARGE.

Minot, N. D., Sept. "a warrant
was issued by Assistant States At.
torney Dorr Carroll for the arrest of
John Wilkins, known as "Scotty" in
the Carpio country, on the statutory
charge, the alleged crime being Of a
most revolving nature.
Wilkins has skipped the country,
however, and the authorities may
have considerable difficulty in locat.
ing him.
The complainant in the case is a
~14-year-old Carpio girl, who became
a mother a week ago last Saturday.
Citizens of Carpio are said to be
highly incensed wei the alleged
crime and 1t is generally predicted it
will go hard with "Scotty" should he
be captured.

n NEW COUNTY.

THE NEW COUNTY.
Yesterday Governor Hanna organ.
lied into a county the North Dakota
part Of the Standing Rock reserva
ton, and designated Fort Yates as
the temporary county seat.
We think this act on n part of
the governor is timely and for the
best interests Of all parties, white
men and Indians. 1t Is the beginning
Of a movement which will probably
bring the government Of the Indians
quite fully under North Dakota state
Jurisdiction ere long. Even now the
Indians a feel that they are prim-
arily citizens Of the state, and this
will tend to progress.
Schools will be provided for the
increasing number of white children
in the south and west parts of the
county, and Indian children will read.
lily attend these schools. Also, white
settlers will feel drawn to this coun-
ty, with its 1000, 900 acres of land,
mostly good land. This will furnish
labor for young Indians, who, like
white young men, are hardly compe-
tent to be s%elf-directed farmers till
they have worked out for a few years.
The feeling of the white men in this
part Of the state has been specially
friendly for the last few years. And
realizing that many of them are often
without food, in a country where a
half century ago they had a plenty Of
food, people r asking seriously
whether we have been quite just to-
ward our red brethren. And mean
while the Indian is shy about leaving
the reservation in search of work
among strangers.
Well, if the mountain will not come
to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the
mountain. White men farming on the
reservation means work for Indians;
work means food, and food means
health.
Indians r as good neighbors as
one" a wish. They lack self-initia-
tive in. the white mans industry.
This seems to be their only limita-
ton. White men among them farm
ing, and employing them as laborers
will accomplish more for them than
official farmers, employed by the In
dian Bureau, can accomplish.
We congratulate Governor Hanna
on his ~non-partisan appointments to
county offices; so far as we are &C.
quainted with the mel appointed.
j. C. Lamb. one of the county com
missioners, is the oldest continuous
resident in the part of the state
where the new county is created. He
is known to be a mar of integrity and
good business judgment.
J. H. Styles, county commissioner,
is also a good business man. He is
a democrat.
A. MEG. Beede, appointed county
judge, is a man in whose intelligence
and integrity all will feel safe. He
knows the Indian language and he is
a firm friend Of the Indians. In ma
tional politics he is said to be a Dem
ocrat. Evidently the governor was
thinking of a good man for the office,
regardless of politics.
No doubt the other men appointed,
with whom we are not so we'll &C
quainted, are competent men.

she did not kiss me back again. If
she had known, she would have kissed

sighed the aunt. whose own heart was
sore and heavy, "but under that still
face there was yet life. Christ showed
US that when he rose from the dead.
He did not answer when his mother
and his disciples called him; but one
day he rose from this seeming death,
to show us that no. one really dies.
That was the first Easter day. Men
had always hoped-but they had never
surely known before then-tha the
dead could rise again. Is It not beau

had been wont to hold him and pet

It was In the early springtime that
the young mother had been laid away
from his sight. The cold winds were
blowing. the trees looked bare and
gaunt and dead.
Out among the leafiess woods the
aunt led the grieving child.
See these poor trees" she said to
him. Does it not look to you as
though they were quite dead?''
He felt carefully of the branch
which she held out to him.
YES" he answered; Sit is only an
old dead stick-just good to burn in
the FIRE."

wait while, and we will come back
here again.
One warm, sunny day, few weeks
later, she took him to the same spot
and showed him the same bough
again. 1t was covered with soft,
fuzzy leaf-buds, and little clusters Of
tender green leaves were bursting
from them.

Three years ago, the Phillips county
high school board, at a meeting at
which all of the members of the board
were present, reelected the principal of
the high school for another year.
After election, when the present
board organized. the members of the
new board and their legal adviser took
position that the old board exceeded its
authority under the law in electing an
instructor in the school for the coming
year. The recent action of the present
board in electing instructors for the
coming year before the school election
would seem to Indicate an admission n
the fact that its criticism of the action
of the other school board three years
ago was not well founded in law.
