BISMARCK NOT
NAMED BY HUNS
N. P. Stockholders, Looking
for German Gold, Named
Capital Bismarck

Bismarck. N. D., July 24.-Yankee
thrift and not German owe of father
land fastened upon the capital city
of North Dakota the name of the
greatest war lord of the Prussians.
The man who gave the name Of Bis
marck to Dakota's western outpost
in 1872 were not German em!grants,
state o. Maine folk, and Their OBJ
ject was to interest German capital
and not to cater to German patriot
ism. Bismarck was to be the New
Chicago of the west. Its founders,
chiefly stockholders in the Northern
Pacific, which had just reached the
eastern bank of the Missouri, and of
the Lake Superior & Puget Sound
Land Co.. which owned the town
visions of floods of German gold
which might flow into the western
metropolis il the Interest of German
capitalists were sufficiently Interested.
With this object and one other in
view the name of the city destined to
become the capital of Dakota terri
tory and the state of North Dakota
was changed from Edwinton 20 Bis
narck, and Bismarck it is likely to
remain. in spite of opposition and
criticism which is becoming more in
tense and bitter with the progress of
the war.
1t is not a large German population
which ~persuades Bismarck to retain
today the name Of the iron chancel-
lor. Bismarck is one of the most
'all-American" towns Of the new
west. The population has been drawn
from New England, from Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas.
There are Michigan men and Wiscon-
sin men, but comparatively few Ger
mans. Bismarck had practically no
German population until a generation
ago, when the tide of immigration
from southern Russia set in. The
Germans who came with that tide
were subjects of the car, but their
ancestors were Germans whom Kath-
arine the Great imported with a view
to Germanizing southern Russia and
to make it a great agricultural king
dom. In hat exodus it was agreed
that the German Immigrants to
Russia should be exempt from mill
tary service for a certain period
which expired late in the last CEN
tury, when many descendants of the
original %colonists emigrated to
America, and thousands of them
settled in western North Dakota,
Perhaps 200 Of them il all found
homes in Bismarck, and they repre-
sent IS e cent Of the city's German
population. "

had stated that Wishek told them he
would not support a government

Wishek had said that he would not

Judge Carmody in the course Of his

stated showed two crosses which were
the typical German variety. Counsel

THREE COUNTS
in WlISHEK CASE
No Doubt Said Judge But
That Wishek Supported
Liberty Bond Sale.

Bismarck, N. D., July 22.-The first
three counts in the indictment against
John H. wishek, alleging interference
with the sale Of Liberty bonds, were
dismissed by Judge Amidon, follow
Ing argument by counsel in the alb
sence of the jury which continued I'M
til midnight. Judge Amidon expressed
doubt as to whether Sec. 8 of the
original espionage act, under which
Wishek was indicted, covered dis
csouragement of the sale Of Liberty
bonds. He stated he was inclined to
believe 1t did not. and that it was for
this reason that congress has spe-
officially covered this offense in the
new espionage act. The court stated
he did not believe the government
justified in asking to go to the jury on
the first three counts, in view Of what
Wishek actually did in the matter Of
investing in Liberty bonds. There
was no doubt at all, said the court,
that Wishek actually did support the
second and third Liberty loans, cor
daily and personally" and there is a
question as to whether he did not
support the first oar as we'll as the
community in general. said the court.
Judge Amidon commented at length
upon the general failure of the first
loan, which McAdoo had objected to
handling through the banks, owing to
unfortunate memories Of an incident
Of Cleveland's administration. Be-
cause the loan was small AND because
the machinery had not been properly
prepared. the first loan was a general
failure, said the court, who stated
that this condition was not confined
to Mcintosh county.
Book Now Storm Center.
The last three counts, charging the
distribution Of seditious and disloyal
literature in the form of a book en-
titled German Achievements in
America were allowed to stand, and
closing arguments were commenced.
Judge Carmody of Hillsboro, assistant
district attorney, opening for the gov
eminent.
Judge CarmodY commented upon
extracts from the book which he de-
clared disloyal and seditious. He
stated that the tenor Of the whole
volume was to build up distrust of the
French and British and to inculcate
confidence in Germany. Many Of the
statements made as to the accomp-
lishments Of the Germans in America
were not true. said counsel. He de-
clared the Germans were. not pioneers
in America to the extent which was
true Of the British, the French. the
Swedes and n or two other nation
a1tues, He admitted that Germans
had fought in the Revolution, but he
recalled the fact that the hired killers
Of George of Hesse were there as well
as Baron Won Steuben. and he de-
c1ared he services of Baron Won
Steubea in no particular eclipsed those
of Lafayette. Kosciusko, DeKalb and
Pulaski
He commented upon the fact that
Wishek had been a subscriber to the
Vaderland; that, he alleged, Wishek
had told one of the witnesses that
Custer was a German and that because
OF this fact he was not promoted, as
he should have been, but was sent out
here to be killed by the Sioux at

Many persons, complains the Path

tors saying they wish to help the war

a poem for the magazine. Whereas
one of it's editors in bitterness Of
spirit, writes: "As we have SO often

poems on hand that we can't find
room to publish; in fact, we receive
SO many that we can't even take time
