WAR THE CAMP.
Republican Broils May Elect a
North Dakota Democrat.

Republican BrOilS May Elect q
North Dakota Democrat.
Special to the GLOBE
GRAND FORKS, N. d., Oct. 19.-There
is prospect that North Dakota's legis-
lature may elect Democratic United
States senator next month. although
at first sight the idea would
seem preposterous. As matters now
stand, none of the candidates in
the field is sure of an election. A leading
Republican of this county, who returned
from Bismarck to-day. says that Pierce
cannot control more than thirty votes.
Ordway will have about the same num-
Der, and Johnson will have at least
twenty-five. The Democrats have thir-
teen sure votes on joint ballot. In all
probability Capt. Mccormack, of Grand
Forks, will be the Democratic
nominee. If this is the case his
personal popularity will give him
at least five more votes. johnson has
signfied his willingness to join issues
with Mccormack in case the latter could
give him fifteen votes. The indications
are that he will be able to do this. and
combining Mccormack and JohnSOn's
strength with the votes of the few dis
satisfied Republicans who wish to de-
feat Ordway, this will give McCor-
mack about forty seven votes.
which will be enough to elect.
WinShip is bitterly opposed to Ordway,
and it is thought that rather than have
the ex-governor elected, he would cast
his vote with the Democrats. Ii this is
the case, there is hope for the Grand
Forks miller. While there NAV not be
probability of electing a Democrat,
the facts above stated are troubling the
Republican leaders more than they
would like to acknowledge.

HELD FOR PURPOSE
Decision Bearing Upon IOwa's
PrOhibitOry Law.

DES MONIES. To-, Oct. 19.-The su-
preme court has rendered an important
decision here bearing upon the enforce
ment of the prOhiDitOry LIQUOR law. An
information had been filed before a
justice, alleging that certain liquors
owned by Con Creeden were kept in the
Rock Island freight depot in Des MOineS,
Intended for sale in violation of the
law. The railroad company was made
party: the case was tried in the dis
trict court and the liquors were ordered
destroyed. The defendants appealed.
claiming that the liquors were in the
custody of the railroad company as a
common carrier. and the matter became
one of interstate commerce, over which
the state courts had no jurisdiction. The
decision of the supreme court finds that
Creeden was persistent vi0latOr of the
law, and had been receiving liquor in
this way for some time, using the freight
office as a storage room to keep the
packages till needed. These liquors
had been received from six to ten days
prior to their seizure. The court holds
that the interstate commerce feature of
the transaction ended when the liquors
had reached the freight house; that the
railroad, in keeping them for several
daVS. was holding them, not as car
rier, but as & warehOuSeman. Under
the circumstances it rules that the liQ-
uOr was being held for illegal purposes
and was no longer matter of interstate
commerce. and was properly seized and
condemned.

CLEVER THIEVES
Engage Clerk in Conversation
and Rifle a Cash Box.

Shortly before l1o'clOck last night two
well-dressed young men entered the
drug store of Benjamin c. Frost & Co.,
at the corner of Second and Nicollet
avenue, Minneapolis, and engaged
Plummer, who was alone in the store,
i'm conversation as to the relative merits
of the different kinds of patent
medicines in the market. One of them,
under pretext of using the telephone,
went behind the counter and unlocked
the side door. Then he returned and
kept the clerk engaged in conversation
for ten minutes. Then they left the
store together. When Clerk Blummer
went behind the prescription counter
he found that the money drawer had
been emptied and two cigar boxes filed
with silver had been taken out of the
safe. The amount stolen is said to be
less than 500. There is no clue to the
thieves
