What the 500 Road is Doing.

(FrOm the Jamestown Alert.)
Speaking of the outlook in Wells county
Mr.. Harley Minor of Sykeston says: Right
of way agents are now in Wells county for
the 500 road. They are having little
trouble getting what they want through the
county, as farmers who have hauled grain
thrifty miles are too willing to give the road
what landis necessary Two trips week,
by wagon, is great expense, which will be-
saved if the road goes where it has been
surveyed. The line, as near as we can fig
ure it, runs almost straight northwest from
Valley City. 1t does not bend to reach
any town, and will go between New Rock
ford and Darlington, three miles north of
the latter town. It runs through the best
part of Wells county, where most of the
settlers live, and were the grain has always
been raised. The trade of Sykeston will
be largely thing of the past if the North
ern Pacific does not look after its own in
terests by tapping the fertile country north
and west of Sykeston. South of that
point there is little good land, and the set
tiers are scarce between Sykeston and
Darlington. Sykeston station had 800
cars of wheat billed out this fall which will
probably average $40 per car, or $21,0 900
from that branch alone. Besides this there
is great deal of the crop not marketed
and much not threshed. We will need farm
help badly this spring and farmers expect
to pay $25 or $50 month for hands. If
the 500 road is built there will be new
town started in the central part of the
county which will no doubt become the
county seat, as most of the settlers live
north of US and can out vote us easily. In
fact Sykeston does not expect to retain
the business if the new town is started, and
it may draw on our own population pretty
heavily. Land is going up in value, and
more sales reported than ever since the
boom. Sykes g. Co. have recently sold a
good deal of land. Wells county has fine
outlook. The coal mines west of us are as
good as any discovered, and large busi-
ness in that industry ought to spring up if
the railroad gets near enough to the mines.

We find the following personal mention
of our former fellow-townsman, Henry s.
Wood, who edited the late Mclean County
Mail in 1890, in the Jennings Reporter, q
paper published in Calcasieu parish,
Louisiana:
Oscar Daggett of Bangor, s. OAK, and
H. S. Wood of Sauk Rapids, Minn., arrived
Monday night from Spanish Honduras,
where they have been looking at the coun-
try for the past month. They called at
this Office Tuesday.
Editor Warnock of the jamestown, N. D.,
Capital has been suggested as republican
candidate for governor of North Dakota.
The suggestion is an eminently proper
and good done.-Northwestern Monitor.
We admire Mr.. Warnock as a writer, but
as he has not been republican quite long
enough to have become thoroughly purged
of his democratic notions, and yet little
too long to suit his old democratic asso-
ciates, it is not likely that either party
will care to run the risk of defeat by NOM
mating him for their standard-bearer.
Judge Winchester's term of Office, as
judge of this district, expires with this
year, but there is no doubt but that he
will be reelected by handsome majority
this fall, and that Kidder county will help
to swell that majority. The judge was
almost stranger to this county when he
run before, while his opponent was we'll
known and had become popular with our
people, hence Mr.. Winchester did not get
the usual republican vote from Kidder.
Now things have changed. Judge Win
chester has demonstrated that he knows a
thing or two about law, and that he has
the faculty of pleasing both sides whenever
he gives decision. Thus far he has not
an enemy in the county, but has made
himself popular by his evident fairness in
all legal questions, and by the spirit of
economy and regard for the taxpayer
which he displays in court matters. The
republicans of the sixth district cannot
find better man for the position i'll the
district.-Steele Ozone.

ALL EYEs ON THE PRISONER.

The defendant. during this allusion to him
and his mother and sister. turned his eyes to
the floor and bit his lip to hide the emotion
within him. As the district attorney made the
allusion every eve in the court room was
turned on the defendant to note the effect upon
him.
Marion Appleby's connection with the de-
PENDANT and his connection with the shooting
was then referred to, and the testimony OF Mr..
McCord. a witness for the defense was quoted,
to show that the man who went down the alley
in which the pistol was found was Marion
Appleby.
MURDER WILL OUT.
Judge Wilson had claimed that the defendant
gave himself up as soon as he possibly could,
Lut why did he take such q roundabout way
to do so? He did not give himself up until he
knew that the officers were after him, else he
would have given himself up to the police
man he saw at the patrol box after the shoot
ing. The defendant did not go through the
alley in which the pistol was found,
but he did go down 18th street. And
no one can doubt but that on his
way to the station he met Marion
Appleby and Matched up the scheme
of the pistol in the alley. When a man
plans a murder like this he plans it

THE READING OF THE sUper's CHARGE.

THE READING OF THE JUDGES CHARGE.
Immediately after the court WAS opened his
honor began the reading Of his charge. 1t is
doubtful il a charge to the jury was ever lis
tened to with more interest than was
the charge OF Judge Bradley in this case.
His honor read his charge from a typewriter
copy Of it and read it in clear, distinct voice.
with more than usual emphasis. The attention
OF the members of the bar was greater than on
any previous day, there being an unusual
anxiety on their part TO hear what his honor
mad to say. Every man on the Jury leaned
forward to catch every wordrof the court and
from the moment the reading Of the charge was
begun kept their eyes fixed upon his honor
Judge Wilson and his associate, Mr.. Hoehling.
sat back In their chairs with the air Of
men who feel that whatever the result
might be they had done all tbev
possibly could do for their client under the
circumstances. Now and then, as the reading
progressed, Judge Wilson would lean forward
the charge.
District Attorney Cole and his assistants sat
IN easy attitudes, listening attentively to all
that was said, but with the confidentair of men
who feel that they are about to reap the re-
ward OF long and laborious labor in a good
cause.
THE ONE MOST INTERESTED
The one being most deeply interested. he
whose fate was soon to be decided by the
twelve men before him, sat in his usual
position Of seeming easiness. One leg
was thrown across the other. One
arm rested on the arm of his chair, and the
other was thrown across his lap. For the most
part he kept his eyes upon the floor, but now and
then they would be uplifted. and then quick
sweep OF them would take in judge aud counsel.
10 the floor his eyes would then return, there
~ remain for long time. Frequently he would
wet his lips with his tongue and swallow
something which seemed every now and
then to well up in his throat.
Excepting his counsel, not friend relative
sat near him, and if any were present in the
packed court room they were not to be seen.
He sat alone like one deserted, save by those
paid to comfort and protect him.
Judge BradIey's Charge.

possible for the defendant to have made the
holes in his clothes in his cell because he
had nothing to make them with. But who

An Interesting Move.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 3.-The Canadian Pa
cific has made shrewd move by issuing
to its agents an official circular announc-
ing that it will assume the tolls on
freight through the st. Mary's canal and
deduct the same from accounts of ship
pers. The effect of this has compelled
American competing roads to make the
same deductions to shippers, which
practically nullifies the Presidents
proclamation 1t also virtually reduces
freight rates on the railroads from what
they were before the toll was established.

that if present attempts are not success

attempt to procure water by local enter
prise. The whole matter rests with our
selves, and if we are true to ourselves
the next meeting will settle the matter
definitely. 1t will do this certainly, for
if by that time we cannot incorporate

as failures, and give up the gun. Are
we ready to do this?

He Opens the Campaign With Rousing
Demonstration.
THE MARINE BAND AT THE HEAD
The Plaza Crowded With Enthusiastic
Citizens and Visitors.
PROCESSION To THE rABERNAoLE.
A whirlwind of Greeting---The Grand
old Party---About Harrison
A Stirring Speech.

The republican campaign opened In
Portland with rousing demonstration
Saturday night. Chief of police Spencer,
says the Oregonian report, may have had
good grounds for arresting every partici-
pant for distur bling the peace, but it was
disturbance, that was appreciated and
applauded by the thousands who throng-
ed the sidewalks, and in many cases OBJ
structed the street crossings. A more
hilarious crowd was never before seen
in public demonstration at Portland.
There were several bands in the process
sion, the marine band at the head, which
took in large part of the city. A halt
was made at the plaza, which was
crowded with enthusiastic citizens and
visitors. The Vancouver republicans
turned out in large numbers. The pro-
cession was a pretty one. Three bands
played, and the capes of the fambeau
bearers cut quite figure. There were
transparencies in abundance, and the
| notices were appropriate. The Blaine
club displayed a handsome transparency
on which were painted in colors the pic
lures of Harrison and Ried. This was
partly responsible for the deafening
cheers that greeted the popular club
along the line. When the procession
reached the tabernacle it was soon filed
with people, and it was an inspiring
scene that Senator Dolph gazed upon
when he stepped to the front of the plat
form, and it was a whirlwind greeting
that the senator received. For fully two
minutes he was prevented by the din
from doing ought but bow appreciation
for the great compliment bestowed upon
him, but just as soon as there was a lull
in the storm he plunged right into an
address that kept his audience interest
ed for two hours.

THE CHICAGO TIMES SENSATION.
Thomas Geoghegan, Now in the Salem
Peuitentiary, to be Sent for.
THE GRAND AIsMY ENoAMPMENT.
1t Left Many Pleasant Memories in Its
Train-A Source of Qualification
in Washington.


CnIoAeo, Oct. 3.-The report that the
Times of this city had unravelled the
mystery of the murder of DIR. Cronin,
was confirmed yesterday by the appear
ance in that journal of a lengthy article
detailing the whole affair. The Times
claims that the long -sought-for muir
derer has been found, and that he is
Thomas Geoghegan, confined now in the
Oregon penitentiary under the name of
Thomas Coleman. He is well-known
crook, and was here at the time of the
murder, but has not heretofore been
suspected of completely in it. He is
said to have been the man who actually
dealt the fatal blows. The Chicago
police denied that they have been look
ing for Geoghegan, or that they want
him on any particular charge, but the
Times has dispatches from Oregon prov
ing that penitentlary officials there adj
NIT that an application has been made
to have the man brought here. One of
the attorneys who assisted in the prose-
cution of the Cronin murderers states
that it was always known that one of
the murderers went to the Pacific coast,
but all traces of him were lost there.
It was thought they had the right man
in California, but now the Times is con-
fident that the right man has been
found, and that he actually sought the
seclusion OF the Oregon penitentiary to
shield himself from the public search.
1t is big sensation in Chicago.
Inauguration Next.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The G. A. r.
encampment has come and gone, but
many pleasant memories are left in its
train. The presence of so many thous-
ands of old veterans was a source of
qualification to the citizens of Washing
ton no less than to the old soldiers
themselves, and everything possible was
done to render their sojourn pleasant
and memorable. That these efforts
were entirely successful were evidenced
by the general expressions of satisfaction
INDUCED in by the visitors, and Wash
| ington set pace in this regard which
other cities where the encampment may
henceforth be held will find difficult to
maintain. Some of the veterans were
| here for about week, the last days of
their stay being utilized in seeing the
sights of Washington and visiting the
battle-fields contiguous thereto. Now,
however, they have all taken their de-
parture. and Washington will begin to
turn its attention to the coming inaug-
uration, the occasion of its next big
gathering.
