THE GAGE BIIL.-The House
Banking and Currency Committee
i considering a comprehensive meas
urc prepared by Secretary Gage to
reform our currency system. Mr..
Gage was before the committee to
explain his bill and admitted frankly
that one object Of it was to establish
the gold standard more firmly, and
he claims that this is not inconsistent
with the Republican national plat
form promulgated at st. Louis which
distinctly declared for the bimetaliC
principle. Other leading features
of the SVcrCtary'S bill are the retire
mCnt Of the grccnbacks, the funding
Of the national debt in bonds paya-
bic specifically In gold and the en-
largcmCnt Of the privileges of the
National banks. The Democratic
party will light the bill to the bitter
end. 1t is possible that Mr.. Reed
may force it through the House but
we do not believe that it can pass
the Senate.

ATTORNEY STEVENSON, Of Crooks
ton, has scored a victory in his now
famous wheat rate case. This case
Was commenced before the state rail-
road commission to get that body
to reduce the freight rate on wheat
from the Red River Valley to termi-
nal points. The commission O, dered
a reduction in the rates, but the
railroad companies interested re-
fused to comply, and appealed the
case to Judge Kerr who reversed the
action Of the commission. The stat..
then appealed to the supreme court,
which has now by a unanimous vote
reversed the decision of Judge Kerr
and ordered new trial of the case.
Under a law passed by the last legis-
lature cases are to be tried in the
county in which the plaintiff resides,
SO that the next trial of the case will
likely be held in Polk county.

ACCORDING to the Crookston papers
work has already begun on
the Fosston extension of the Great
Northern to Duluth. If Mr.. Hill act
ually builds this road it will make ac-
cessible to the people of the Red Riv-
er valley the vast forest area of
Northern Minnesota and lessen the
cost of fuel and lumber. By shorten
ing the distance by rail to Duluth it
will also reduce the freight rate on
wheat and other farm products, hence
benefit every farmer in the valley.
Our people, would have preferred to
see this direct line built by Farmer
Hines, or some independent railway
company, but will rather have Mr..
Hill build it than not have it built at
all. S.;

Tired of Life.

The body of a man was discovered
under low bridge on the road from
Warren to Angus on Monday last.
From the position in which the body
lay, with a piece of rope around the
neck, one end of the rope attached to
the bridge, it was evidently case of
suicide. The Polk county authorities
were notified and on Tuesday coroner
Dwyer of East :Grand Forks arrived
and removed the body to Warren
where an inquest was held. No mon
ey and no clew to the mans identity
was found on his person. He had on
good clothes. A carpenters rule in his
pocket would seem to indicate that he
was mechanic. That he was stran-
ger here is very likely A farm labor
er who had come to these parts lately
claimed that he had known him about
fourteen years and identified him posi-
lively as James Dempsey. From this
mans testimony it appeared that the
suicide had been wanderer on the
face of the earth, and somewhat adj
dicted to strong drink. At last, it
would seem, he had determined by
his own hand to.end life misspent.
The remains were taken to Crookston.

AFTER conducting business at
the same place for the. past Ii
years, it is with pride we look
back upon our past record, and
note the strong, steady, upward

chosen well. They have more
and more concentrated their bust
ness into our hands. They have
made us the center-their head

We are now better prepared to

THE DEATH OF AHVOTE
NOW REGARDED AS ENTIRELY
CERTAIN
Wallapi Trailers Disguised With
White Mans Stupidity, Which
Allowed Parker's Escape

KINGMAN, Ariz., May 1.-THE kill
ing of Ahvote was confirmed this even
ing. Piutes Steve and Pete, cousins of
the murderer, waylaid and shot him 80
miles below Ell Dorado canyon, on the
Nevada side Of the river. While lying
mortally wounded they asked him his
reason for killing whites. to which he
answered, Heap mad at Indians;
wanted to kill somebody"
After talking with him for some time
they shot him in the head, killing him
instantly.
Couriers were sent 10 the white camps
to inform them of the red fiend's demise.
Indian nature is displayed in the fact
that Ahvote stopped over night with
Judge Morton, and in the morning ate
breakfast and then killed the old man.
Sheriff Fredenthal of Lincoln county,
New, arrived at the Colorado river soon
after the killing of Ahvote, and imme-
diately took up the trail of Mouse, the
murderer of Davis and Stearns, of Ma
tional City and San Diego, Cal. He
took with him the two Piutes who killed
Ahvote. Sheriff Rosborough left Van
berbilt this evening with posse and
Indian trailers to apprehend Mouse.
should he show up in his old haunts
around Pahrumph or Waupaph, they
are sure to get HIM within week.
The Wallapi Indian trailers who have
been on the track of Parker, the Rock
Cut robber and Jail breaker, returned to
Kingman this morning. They say the
officers have been put On the wrong
track by sheep men near Williams, and
they were not allowed to follow the trail
of what they knew to be that of the ou' .
law They are very much disgusted,
and say that if they had heen allowed
their own way they would have cap
captured Parker before he got near
Williams. A sheepherder told the off,
GERS a cock-and-bull story to throw

A NAVAL TERROR
The Holland Submarine Torpedo Boat
Launched


Launched
ELIZABETH, N. j., May 17-The Hol-
land submarine torpedo boat was
launched at the Crescent shipyards in
this city today The inventor OF the
boat, John p. Holland, has closely
watched the construction Of the vessel.
The vessel was christened "The Hol-
land" by Mrr Nixon, wife of Lieutenant
Lewis Nixon, the constructor. There
were few present at the launching. In
ventor Holland says there will not be
any attempt at submarine evolutions for
several weeks. The construction Of the
boat has been eagerly watched all over
the country. The boat is cylindrical In
shape. ie lfty feet three inches long,
with a four-foot screw protecting ex-
tension. The diameter is ten feet three
inches amidships and the moulded diam
eter Is the same. The boat can travel
under water eight knots an hour for
eight hours and ten knots an hour on
the surface. The power comes from a
gasoline engine and dynamo, the for
mer to be used when the boat is sailing
along the surface and the latter when
she is submerged. 1t will take LEGS than
minute to submerge the boat and about
the same length Of time for her to rise
to the surface The armament consists
of three torpedo tubes which will dis
charge high explosives. Sixty men will
constitute the crew.
Several foreign nations have bid for
the vessel. but it is likely that Mr.. Hol-
land will sell her to the United States.

EMERGENCY RATIONS
PUT TO THE TEST OF AN ACTUAL
TRIAL
Regular Army Soldiers Taking Ten
Day Jaunt on Short Allowance
of Supplies

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Troop e
of the First United States Cavalry has
been marching through the Wichita
mountains for a week. to see whether
soldiers oan live on 80 ounces of food
day. Last December the War Depart
ment adopted an emergency ration
that is. a ration to be used only IN case
of shortage Of food or OF forced, quick
marches, when every possible hindrance
is left behind.
This ration was adopted by a board Of
officers It consists of bacon, 10 ounces;
hard bread, 16 ounces; pea meal, 4
ounces Cor an equivalent In appropriate
material for making soup); coffee.
roasted and ground, 2 ounces, or tea,
one-half ounce; saccharine, grains;
salt, 64-100 of an ounce; pepper, 4-10 OF
an ounce; tobacco one-half ounce.
In order to test this allowance, Cap
tain W. c. Brown, who was member Of
the Ration Board, marched his troop of
cavalry out of Fort Sill. l. T.. week ago,
with nothing to eat but the emergency
ration for ten days. The orders were to
march due west from Fort Sill for five
days and then march back again. Cap
tain Brown has not been heard from
since the march began, but he is ex-
pected to return to Fort sill with his
hungry troopers tomorrow or the day
after. Major Charles Smith, a surgeon
who went from Washington to accom-
pany the troop, will then report to the
Secretary of War how the men etood
the scanty allowance. The question of
using tobacco was considered for come
time 1t is true that tobacco Is not food,
but it is used 80 generally by soldiers
that they would rather be deprived Of
food than lose it. Moreover, thcse hab-
ituated to its use suffer acutely without
it,
While soldiers who use tobacco usual
ly endeavor to provide themselves with
1t on forced marches they might some
times be without it. Therefore, 1t was
put in the ratiors
This emergency ra:.co, 1t is believed,
gives close upon the quantity of food
needed to repair muscular wastes. Even
II put on half this ration, which Is only
allowed in cases of overrullng necessity,
and then for no longer than ten days,
the men would etill have a full sub
sistence diet ard could keep eoul and
body together. They may suffer little
loss in weight, but in sound men this
waste would be replaced by few days
of rest and full diet.
