Death OF Mrs. DeFrance.

Died, at Richardton, Thursday
morning at eight and one.half o'clock,
the wife of Guy j. DeFrance, about
seventy years of age.
Death was the result of al over
dose of strychnine lit is supposedly
taken by Mrs. DeFrance during an
attack of temporary insanity. Par
ticulars as near as can he as%certained
are as follows: For several months
past Mrs. DeFrance has been in poor
health, suffering much more intensely
during the few days preceding her
death. Late Wednesday evening
Mrs. DcFrance called her husband
and w. w. Brookings from the front
Of the store (Mr. DeFrance is a mer.
chant) to a room in the e a part of
the building, used for a living room,
and told MI. B. that she wanted him
to witness that her husband had
nothing to do with that which was
about to occur. Neither of the men
could attach any meaning to these
strange words then. After midnight
she became delirious and said she had
taken strychnine, but as she was
talking in a wild manner on other
subjects nothing of Importance was
attached to her remarks at this time.
About five o'clock in the morning her
mind became clear and she then con.
fessed that she had taken a half tea.
spoonful of strychnine dissolved in
water shortly after the Atlantic mail
went east on the previous night.
| Medical aid was summoned but it was
too late to be Of any assistance.
Mr.. DeFrance is we'll known tc
the people of this county as a either
of good standing, and he has the sin

During the early part of last week
John Dobson, who has Il ranch on the
Cannon Ball, had a narrow escape
from a rifle ball at the hand Of some
desperate. 1t seems that Mr.. Dob.
son had some horses that had strayed
away, and while looking for Them
seeing Il man on horseback a short
distance off, he went toward him
with the intention Of asking if he had
seen any stray horses in that locality.
The stranger evidently preferred not
to be interviewed, and as soon as he
saw MI. Dobson approaching jumped
off his horse, leveled a rifle and fired
at him, the ball cutting through Mr..
Dobson's blouse a little under the
arm. This "a and desperate at
tempt at killing committed, the man
jumped on his horse and made off in
a hurry, and has not been seen since.
After this scene of near tragic sig-
%nificance, Harvey IIersey, who is
working for the Dobson Bros. called
to mind having seer a team, appar-
emily a camping outfit, and two OF
three men the night before on the
river a short way off and on making
toward the team the men whipped
up and would not permit him to get
near them.

 Little fault could be found with this analysis as far as it goes, In fact we would he prepared to see the conclusion drawn that social system which inevitably drives men off from a com fortable position, and tends 10, and does, supply and keep alive a criminal class, can at best be only temporary and tran sitory, Wonderful to behold however, from the premises established, Ur. Han sen concludes with the assertjon that such a state of things is 'natural and has a smear for those who hold the oppo. site view. In fact, the Doctor brings himself entirely within that position which of all others is typically bourgeois, to wit, that history has run its course, and that as things are, they will remain.
 In view of the fact that Munich whence the Doctor has mainly taken his statistics, now sends d full Socialist delegation to the Reichstag; in view of the fact that in the Doctors fatherland the Socialist philosophy is the moving spirit of the largest of all the parties in the empire; m view, furthermore, of the fact, that that philosophy gives the reason for the present existence of the social classes and the method for their total extinction, the Doctors work ac- quires peculiar significance. But that significance k not to the Doctors credit as philosopher and thinker,

The question is apt to be put, To what pur. pose has it used it's ripe years, its "sys- tenn, its plcthorjc "funds", or its alleged ''pr"stiGe"; The wreck and ruin at Blnghamton, the suffering, the capi- talisl brutality, the humiliation allowed to be inflicted upon the striking cigar, makers in that town are monumental, eloquent answer to the pertinent ques, tion
 The Bakers JoHneymens' Union may be young in years but, as shown by its organ, it is old in judgment; it's "sys- tenn" leads away from political, the surest means of stopping economic, scab bism; its "prestige", on the path it has struck will leave it nothing for which to envy it's reactionary and older sister union.

Again, we were not blind to the fact that the worst period of decay -thc time when our cdu- cationaI system was allowed to so run down that nothing but the most heroic treatment and lavish expenditure may now save it--Was the infamous period of "Citizen" Gracos administration; --a period during which bargains were made between the pIutocratic power and the heads of the Roman church for the i'm pairmcnt of the public school system in New York city as first step to the degradation and destruction of that noble system throughout the United States,
