ant, Mr.. Allen, are busy preparing the
batch of criminal cases which are to
be presented to the United States
grand jury which has been called to
meet at the government building on

work to be brought before the court
is such as will not excite a great deal
of attention. There is some business
to come from the Standing Rock In
dian agency in the way of violations of
the liquor law within the confines of
the reservation. A secret treasury
agent was down last week sitting
some matters. AS to the amount of
business to be done, of course much
depends on the value of the cases in

about thirteen years. During his rail-
road service he has not lost more than
six months from all causes. On the
morning of April 81 last, when in
charge of his train, Mandan to Fargo,
he was taken suddenly i'll at Bismarck,
he recovered in a few minutes and col
lected fares and tickets through his
train. Just as he was finishing he
was attacked with a sinking illness
which rendered him unconscious and
from which he never fully recovered.
He died on Sunday morning, April 20,
at 2:1o o'clock. On December I, 1880,
he married Ida D~evereaux, of Marsh
field, Wis. Besides his wife and M
son 8 years old, he leaves his father,
four sisters and two brothers, one Of
whom is Alex McLennon who lives
near Armenia. He was a member Of

of the deceased. Service was held at
the house and was conducted by I.ev.

WHAT DOES THIS c
Surely the Reader Cannot Ask for
Better Proof,

The reader may ask for more con-
vincing proof than testimony published
from representative residents of neigh
boring cities, but as the proof we offer
has been decidedly convincing in Grand
Forks it should carry considerable
weight in this vicinity.
Mr.. M. F. Cleary of Bruce Avenue,
Grand Forks, N. D., confectionery and
cigar store, says: "There was a time
when always had a pain in my back
just over and across the loins and hips.
While in my case it was not serious,
still anyone who has had it knows how
Fostering and annoying it is. Last
April, 1898, l read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured a box from
Trepanier & Co.'s drug store. l can
say this much for the remedy. 1t
gave me as complete and perfect relief
from my trouble as was possible. I
simply do not have any more of the
pain and it is months ago since l took
the treatment. There has been no re-
turn of the trouble. To Doan's Kid
ney Pills belongs the credit for this
result"

INDIA RELIEF.
North Dakota Movement for the Relief
of Starvation in Indian.

There is an organized effort being
made in North Dakota to gather wheat
by contributions for the relief of the
starving millions in India. The re-
lief committee consists of prominent
bankers, business men and others
from different cities of the state and
they ask contributions of money or
grain from all who wish to help. It
is estimated that two sacks Of wheat
or two dollars in money will save a
life in the famine regions until the
next harvest. Governor Fancher en-
dorses the movement in the following
letter to the committee:
THE u in which your committee
is engaged is a most worthy and
noble one, and should receive the gen.
eral and hearty support of the pros
porous people of this state. From
perfectly authentic and reliable
sources w know the suffering and dis
tress in that distant land is something
appalling, and that millions of our fell
low beings are in imminent danger of
death by starvation. I will be glad
to render you any assistance in my
power in the prosecution Of your noble
work"
Contributors are requested to sign
a coupon stating what amount of
grain or money they will give and for
ward it to some member of the COM
ittee, and notice will be given before
long as to how and when it should be
delivered.

NICKELLS CASE.
Once High Roller in the State Files
Petition in Bankruptcy in U. S.
Court.

One of the interesting cases before
the supreme court in the early nine
ties was that of Nickells VS.. Nickells,
a divorce case in which a decree had
been granted by the district court at
Wahpeton, and Mrs. Nickells, the de-
PENDANT, asked the supreme court to
set it aside as having been wrongfully
obtained. The supreme court did SO,
in an opinion that reflected rather
forcibly on some of the methods re-
sorted to in obtaining divorces. The
parties in the case were residents of
Kansas City, Nickells having become
infatuated with a Mrs. Graham, for
whom he had divorced his wife. The
matter was afterward settled, and
Nickells and Mrs. Graham located at
Wahpeton. Mrs. Graham was the
daughter of Alderman Mason of Kan
sas City, one of the wealthiest men
went into a number of big deals, and
then began a series of remarkable fin
ancial moves. Nickells got control
OF the Wahpeton electric light plant
and a large number of drug houses in
the state. AS soon as it was discov-
cred that Nickells and the former
Maud Mason had gone away together,
Nickells' wife took a hand in the deal
and filed suit against the heiress for
$4,000. The charge was that Mrs.
Graham had alienated the affections
of Mrs. Nickells' husband. Nickells
and his new wife compromised and the
former Mrs. Nickells received a large
part of the $4,000.
Nickells' sun began to set when his
wife died, in the latter part of 1893.
The flow of money with which he had
painted all Of the northwest a ruddy
glow, suddenly ceased. He had, how
ever, plenty of property and was by
no means in want. But he had been
able to squander so much money in
the past and not be injured in a finan-
cial way, that he never stopped.
The remains of his wife were taken
to Kansas City and now lie in the fam
lily lot in Elmwood cemetery.
These facts are recalled by the fact
that Nickells, has just filed a petition
in bankruptcy in the United States
court at Fargo. Another peculiar fact
in connection with the case is that
Frank Gray, at one time attorney to
represent Mrs. Nickells No. 1 in the
divorce case, and who was criticised
by the supreme court for neglect of
his clients interests, recently COM
mitted suicide in New York. An
evil fate appears to have pursued the
parties to the original divorce pro-
ceedings against the first Mrs. Nick
ellis.

VIEW.
What National Chairman Hanna Saws
of the Political Outlook.

Chairman M. A. Hanna: Gas the
result of a careful study of the situa-
ton l feel perfectly safe in making the
prediction at this time that Mckinley
will be reelected. There is no way of
figuring how the republicans can lose
the coming contest if they put their
shoulders to the wheel, and are not
with a spirit of overconfidence in the
outcome. The price of victory will
be much harder, and the duty constant
from now till election day. The re-
publicans must make the same kind
of a fight as they did in 1896. There
must be no cessation in their efforts
to elect their candidates, and the at
tention to details that must be steady
and u~nceasing. They must go into
the contest heartily which is essential
to victory. The prospects for repub-
licans is of the most gratifying kind.
In going over a list of states which
cast their vote for Mckinley four years
ago l do not e any that will not do so
again, without it is Kentucky, which
may be considered doubtful, although
we certainly propose making every
effort to carry it. l regard Maryland
which the democrats are claiming al
ready al reasonably certain to come
into the republican column. Besides
holding our own in practically all the
states that we carried in 1898, we have
reason to believe that the republicans
will carry Kansas, South Dakota and
Washington, which went for Bryan
four years ago, while our chances are
excellent, I am informed by Senators
Shoup and Carter, of winning Idaho
and Montana, the states which they
represent in the senate. Altogether l
am pleased with the outlook, which
could not be more encouraging than it
is"
