GRAFTON, ". Va, Oct. LA meeting
Of prominent Republicans, about ten

upon by the Grafton correspondent of
the Register, as On opportunity for dos

In his dispatches last week the
strange theory was presented, with an
audacity only equalled by ito utter
absurdity, that this meeting OF Re-
publicans" meant campaign OF Won

the people would be bought like sheep

ginia-Senator Camden's "re-arrange.
ment" and all-would be stolen out
right 30 that Mr.. Eikins could be aent
to the United States senate; and that.
1t was decided by these Republican
conspirators mot to waste any money
on Dayton" Now all that Is changed
and denied in another story In to-day's
Register, wherein it Is asserted that the
aforesaid meeting OF Republicans was
held "for the purpose OF devising ways
and means for raising additional money
TO defeat Congressman Wilson," etc.
In one instance, ''it was decided TO
waste no money on Dayton" but now
it is charged that all this mythical
"boodle" is for Dayton's sole beneilt.
1t therefore appears that the writer OF
the articles in question cannot tell
faleehood twice In the same way.
The trend OF auch political newspaper
trash rs tho stuff mentioned only goes
to demonstrate the desperation and
panic-strickon condition of Grafton's
coterie OF Democratic wire-pullers.
They not only see in advance the finger
OF destiny pointing to the defeat OF the
distinguished gentleman, who is the
idol OF Great Britain. but has done
nothing for the people OF his own dis
trict except those politicians for whom
he has cotton Offices; but they fear a
general uprising oil the people that will
result in the downfall Of the Democratic
party in the state. As to boodle-it Is
notorious that Democratic Doodle is
already being used. 10 say nothing Of
the quantity that has been con-
tributed by New York import
ers to aid Mr.. Wilson, there
are the results Of assessments
OF the salaries OF his appointees to OF:
flee. That money is already being used
is evidenced by au incident that re.
Gently occurred in Barbour county,

to break up Republican meeting. He
called some folks up in Barbour "bad

people who had money, declaring pub.

number OF responsible witnesses, that
he had $500 OF Wilson money, and to
prove II he pulled out a big roll OF
greenbacks from his pocket, which he
boastingly displayed.

mittee resumed its Investigations into
the police department to-day after q
two weeks vacation taken to allow the
members Of tho committee TO attend
the state conventions OF tho Republican
and Democratic parties. 1t is evident
that matters are rapidly reaching q
climax. The beginning OF the end Is
apparently in sight.
Commencing with the criminals, the
very worst men and women in New
York city, as witnesses, MIR. Gof, the
attorney who has been conducting the
investigation, has been steadily moving
upward in the scale OF humanity. Tho
testimony OF ex-oificers and former
spolicemen having been taken just be-
fore adjournment, tho prosecution took
another stop nearer the throne to-day,
when Major William II. Kipp, chief
clerk at the police headquarters, was
called as the first witness OF the day.
Ills testimony referred largely to mat
tor appearing in tho records and was to
some extent Of q routine nature.
Theu came ex-Police Commissioner
Charles +. MacLean. He thought tho
power exercised by the police courts
oyer tho police department was in tho
main injurious. He believed that sin:
gle head to the department would
eventually be an Improvement,
The witness gavo it out rs his opin-
ion that the present system with its
bad application OF the civil service laws
offered greater opportunities for pur-
chasing place on thu police force than
under the old system. There was an
unusually largo attendance Of attorneys
and ministers when the session com.
menced to-day. Tho interest in the
proceedings continues unabated.

A Typhoid Epidemic.

Northern Pacific Lineman Kessler at
Grand Forks, died recently of typhoid
fever, and temporarily Lineman J..
Moody was sent to Fargo to attend to
the duties of the lineman at that point,
who had been sent to Grand Forks. The
scourge of typhoid fever which Grand
Forks is going through does not seem to
be exaggerated, the Fargo lineman re-
porting that upon the day of the funeral
of kesseler there we're nearly a dozen
other funerals. The situation is Decom-
ing alarming, though but little, so fac,
has gotten outside. A prominent physi-
clan OF Grand Forks, interviewed recently
in Fargo, states that he considers tue
situation serious. In one night last
week there were seven deaths. diagnose
the disease as typho- malarjal influenza
OF virulent type. Abdominal compli-
cations result in great many cases and
usually with fatal termination. None
are exempt from it's ravages; it attacks
old and young, rich and poor alike.
There is diversity of opinions among
the medical fraternity as to the probable
cause OF the epidemic. Some hold that
1t is prevalent because OF an atmospheric
mlcrobe. others from bad water and a
detective sewerage system"

Saturday.

enCe of a StutSman Coun-
ty Farmer.

Saturday evening, at his residence
about three miles southwest Of the city,
occurred the sudden death from disease
Of the heart, OF Capt. VIM. p. Farrell, au
old and we'll known resident of Stuts-
man county.
He had been IN the city during Satur-
day afternoon and reached home about
$50 p. m. Calling to one of his men to
mail from his cutter and went into the
house in stooplng position, as though
IN pain. Sitting down. without removing
his fur coat, he took preparation of
ginger from his pocket, complaining of a
pain i'll nis stomach, and asked his house
wife for glass. While this was beng
brought he was seized with intense
pains and partly slid from his chair to
the floor. He died few minutes after
wards, before medical assistance could
be procured. DR.. Thorald was notified
aud held an inquest, but no post mortem
examination was made, deati, evidently
resulting from disease of the heart.
Mrs. Isaac Henry, sister, accompa-
| MED by her husband, and Jas Farrell, a
brother, living in Duluth, we're immedi-
ately notified and arrived Monday.
Capt. Farrell was one OF the most re-
spected aud best liked residents of the
! county. He had hosts of friends who
were loyal to him on every occasion. and
his hospitality, good nature, and fair
mindedness were always met with. He
was financially well off, owning and
managing one Of the best farms 10 the
county, we'll stocked. and containing a
great deal of valuable farm property and
Improvements. He formerly operated
in Duluth and made money there by
conservative investments. He was
strong believer in the advantages of
North Dakota, and citizen whom all
will sincerely regret to lose. He was
friend OF the poor and needy, and fire.
quently aided others in friendly and
substantial way.
| The deceased was unmarried, about 63
years old, and for many years was
bridge contractor, the title OF captain, it
is said, being given from having charge
of vessels on the lakes. He was OF an
inventive turn, having patented several
valuable inventions. It is understood
the body will be taken east for burial

Great Wealth in Native Coal

Hon. A. c. McGilllvray OF Dickinson,
accompanied his two nieces, Edith and
Grace Montague, to this city where they
will attend the st. John 3 academy with
which school Mr.. McGillivray IS we'll
pleased. Speaking of the great Dickin-
son product, Ignite coal, Mr. McGilllvray
says: There is more wealth in the coal
mines of this state than IN the wheat
lands Of the Red River valley. We are
working q full force nights and days.
Have orders from all over the state, even
from as far as Pembina. Llguite coal
is coming into use more and more.
We have purchased a IS horse power
boiler, and dynamo. Will hoist coal to
the top OF the miQe and shoot IL to the
cars on track great deal faster than
heretofore, and will light the mine by
electricity. Last week We sent a train
load through to Fargo. The people
along the 500 are using it more this year
than ever before, and the mines in the
Mouse river are turning out a good deal
OF the fuel. The railroads Of course do
not like to lose the long haul from Du-
luth, for the short haul from the state.
but the people are bound to have cheaper
coal. and they are entitled to it.

Heard from the Great Northern.

Secretary Grant of the railroad com
missioners, accompanied by his wife,
was an east bound passenger last evening
to Edgeley. Mr.. Grant stated that an
informal letter had been received from
General Manager Case OF the Great
Northern, stating in regard to the service
on the Cando branch, that a new tram
schedule would be put into effect and a
turn table put in at Church's Ferry. and
the service considerably improved. The
use of turn table at Church's Ferry
will obviate the necessity for tie branch
engines running over the main line
twice. between that point and Devils
Lake, each time a trip up the branch
was completed. There will be meeting
OF the commissioners in Fargo tomorrow.
