You can't Judge the value
of a newspaper as an adj
vertising medium solely
by the number of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m o st
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
cuIation.
Nowadays. people
like to have the News of
! the Day served briskly
and crisply. They want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b u t
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver-
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants to know about Cir

unteers back. Then there is no telling
what developments may arise in the is
lands, that might require all the troops
to be kept there, SO that there is nothing
definite as to when the boys will be
home.
Letters from members of the North
Dakota regiment received in various
parts of the state show that there is
much Inconsistencies and a desire to leave
the service. Especially is this the case
among the enlisted men, who enlisted
out of patriotic motives, and who are not
desirious of doing simple garrison duty
for an indefinite period. All agree that
the Philippines would eve be chosen
as a place of residence out of choice
especially by men who come from a tenn
perate climate.

PLEADS GUILTY.
]. w. Cole Pleads Guilty in the District
Court this Morning to the Charge
Of Murder.
Sentence Will Be Passed by Judge Win
chester at the Opening Of Court
Tomorrow.
May Be Either Hanging or 1mprison-
ment for Life in the Discretion of
the Judge.
Pleads GUILTY..

In the district court Tuesday morning
j. w. Cole, who Monday shot and killed
Sophronia Ford, the IA year old daugh-
ter of j. w. Ford, was arraigned on the
charge of murder in the first degree.
The prisoner was brought into court
by the sheriff and Intercepted by the
court. He was asked if he had counsel
or means to procure counsel and said
that he had not. He appeared to desire
nothing except, as he said ito get it over
with as soon as possible"
The prisoner manifested some feeling
and shed a few tears when the ~realiza-
ton of the condition he was in and the
crime he had committed seemed to come
to him.
Judge Winchester, after interrogating
the prisoner, appointed Gen. Hughes as
counsel for him. The prisoner and his
attorney withdrew to an adjoining room
for a brief consultation and upon their
return the information charging murder
in the first degree was read and the pris-
oner pleaded guilty.
The time for the passing of sentence
was then fixed at tomorrow morning at
O'Clock. Under the law tho prisoner
can be sentenced either to the death
penalty or to Imprisonment for life. In
case of the passing of the death penalty,
the law provides that the execution shall
not take place for at least three months
from the time sentence is passed.

WANT TO COTE HOTTIE.
Members of the Glorious Thirteenth of
Minnesota Have Had Enough of
the Philippines.

The Thirteenth Minnesota regiment
has evidently had enough of the Philip
pines and the following letter shows the
anxiety of the volunteers to come home.
The North Dakota boys too are anxious
to get away-but they are standing the
climate better than the men from Min
~nesota:
1.-THE people at home can praise the
Thirteenth regiment all right, but for
Gods sake why don't they do something
to get us home. I'll wager that if they
keep these American troops here in Ma
Mia for two years. one-half the men will
never go home. 1t is an impossibility
for the Americans to stand it here. I'm
agine the thermometer ut ITO degrees in
the shade and remaining that way for
six eight and ten hours at a time. 1t is
something awful. For a man to have to
to stand in the. sun for two hours is
enough to kill him. Men faint all day
long. 1t is nothing to go down the
street and see a man drop down overcome
by heat. We see that every day.
"These islands are very rich and all
that, but it would be a terrible thing to
have to keep them guarded by American
soldiers. Uncle Sam couldn't get a man
to enlist in the regular army if he had
any idea of what this country is like. I
will give you an idea of what it will do
to a body of men. We have lost TWEEN
ty-nine men of our regiment, Is per cent
of the regiment are sick at the hospitals
and 10 per cent of the rest are sick in
quarters. We had 106 men in our COM
pany in Camp Merritt at San Francisco.
This morning tifty-nine men answered
the roll-call, able for duty-just one-half
of the company. Hospitals are SO over
crowded that we have to put up tents
for hospital use. It is something fright
full. The officers, who are getting the
best of care, and drawing salaries such
as they never drew before, write home
and tell the people how nice we are hav-
ing it here, in order that they may hold
their jobs a little longer, but if the

Thriving Condition of N. P. Hospital

Thriving Condition of N. P. Hospital.
Notices have been sent to the different
departments of the Northern Pacific that
no hospital deductions will be made for
three months, commencing with Decem-
Der. It is very gratifying to the several
railway employees to know that the af-
fairs of the N.P.B.association are in such
a aourishing condition. Owing to a care
full and economic management of the as
sociation, a surplus has been created,
estimated to be sufficient to run the as
ISOLATION for the next three months. In
addition to furnishing it's members with
the very best treatment, by specialists
who stand at the head of their profession,
the N. p. B. association also furnishes
free of cost, artificial limbs and specta-
cles.

Brought Home as Soon as Reg
ulars Are Sent.
Another report comes that the Ameri-
can volunteers in the Philippines are to
be brought home as % as regulars can
be sent to take their places. Recent de-
velopments in army circles indicate that
a large force of regular soldiers are be-
ing prepared for transportation to Manila
and inquiry at the var department at
Washington is said to have confirmed
this report, and to have elected the in
formation that as soon as the regulars
get there the volunteers will be returned
in the order in which they were sent.
This would bring the North Dakota
troops home with the fourth expedition.
At the very earliest, however, the
volunteers could not be brought home
for several months and probably the
best part of a year would be, consumed
in getting the regulars over and arrang-

N. P. AND q. N.
Interest in the Reported Rivalry
of These Two Great Trans
continental Systems.

Interest in railroad circles is directed
just at present in the antagonism of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
arrangements and as a result there may
be a number of North Dakota branches
builded by the Northern Pacific to par
allel the Great Northern lines. A recent
issue of the Minneapolis Journal says:
The attention of the railroad world, so
recently attracted by the introduction of
new blood into the Baltimore L. Ohio,
now finds itself centered in the struggle
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern are apparently just entering upon.
There no longer appears to be any ques-
ton of the intention of the Morgan in
%terests, and they control the Northern
Pacific property, to push the Clearwater
extension to completion, regardless of all
consequences. On It's part the Great
Northern is not inactive, and in the
stock market as we'll us in the fieldo of
construction, it is engaged in various ac-
~tivities to head off the schemes of its
rival.
Northern Pacific stocks continue to
bear an even front Notwithstanding the
various assaults they have been COM
PEELED to undergo. Perhaps this attitude,
better than any other feature of the sit
%uation, indicates the strength Of the men
standing behind them. There is oppo-
sition to the present policy of the North
ern Pacific in some quarters, but the con-
trolling syndicate is so supreme that it is
not anticipated that any objections
voiced from these stockholders will have
effect. 1t is said that Saturday, on
Wall Street, even reports from London
of a split in the governing board and of
the failure of the Oregon Short line ne
gotiations failed to startle anyone.
Telegraphic advice sent from st. Paul
to the east credit Colonel Clough, vice
president of the Great Northern, with a
statement of the intention of President
Hill to build from Butte to Lewiston as
q ICIo1loIO1y IAONC dSolI1oC VAAC ' ! II
Pacific. The Northern Pacific would
feel this, but it is understood that not
even this measure will move Morgan
from the stand he has taken.
Since the reference was made recently
to the ability of the Northern Pacific to
enter the Great Northern territory in
Minnesota and the Red River valley by
constructing a line that would tie up its
competitor into a "bowknot," it is re-
ported that various Northern Pacific
officials have been studying maps and
estimates with close attention. The
presumption is that they are considering
construction plans. The rumors of pos.
sible branches include one from Rock
wood to st. Vincent, where by bridging
the river connection could be made with
the Northern Pacific Pembina branch
into Winnipeg, and also of a line from
Red Lake Falls to the boundary parallel
ing the Great Northern, just as the line
from Winnipeg Junction to Red Lake
Falls now parallels the Great Northern
from Glyndon to Crookston.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making Il better
article than your competitor if you can
not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much great
.er in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and use
only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it always can be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to- be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chambeflain's Cough Remedy. For
sale by E. S. Beardsley.

r1ilitia Gossip.

Fargo Forum: Now that it is reason
ably settled that the North Dakota vol
unteers will return from Manila within
three or four months, a little interest is
being taken in the national guard again
and plans discussed regarding the regi-
ment and the encampment, which it is
intended will be held next summer. An
other thing that is being considered is
who will be made major of the third
battalion, which it will be remembered
was formed last summer, companies be-
ing organized at Langdon, Hillsboro,
Glendale and Grand Forks, the first
three having been already mustered
into the service. Capt. Keyc Of Go. B
was the senior captain of the regiment,
prior to his resignation from the volun,
teer service, and he would have received
the majors commission without question
probably. 1t is maintained in some
quarters, however, that Keye's resigna
ton from Uncle Sans service did not
affect his standing in the state militia
as he did not resign prior to the organi
zation of the new battalion and he would
thus be entitled to the place anyway,
It is likely that nothing will be decided
until the battalions return from Manila
but the subject is of interest to national
g%uardsmen and it may be the source OF
some nice questions for the next admin.
~istration to decide in militia matters.
