MR, MCGOWAN GOES
 ID CINCINNATI
Possibly to Consider the Scale of Wages in Southern
 Rolling Mills.

P. II. McGowan. vice-president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers for the Seventh district, will leave this afternoon for Cincinnati in response to telegram calling him there. The telegram stated that a conference would be held tomorrow, but did not state whether it would be a conference of Amal- gamated Association delegates and opera tors of mills or merely of the association delegates.
 It will be recalled that when the confer ence between the mill operators and the association representatives adjourned at Detroit over a week ago it was agreed that another meeting of the operators and the representatives of the association would be held at the call of either side.
 It is stated that the iron workers in the South are not willing to sign an agreement that does not give them as good wages as they received last year. The men, it Is said, would rather remain idle all winter than accept reduction in wages

Miss Robichaux Writes of Galveston
 Disaster-A Wedding

Pratt City, Sept. T.-(special.) 1.-The fol- today by James A. Kirk from Miss Cecile Robichaux, one of Mrs. Kirks sisters, who was in Galveston during the storm:
 "Only half of Galveston is standing. Sis- ter Louise's house was swept away and they escaped with just a suit of clothes each. They are with us, as our house was left standing. We have another family with us Every one who can get away is leaving town. It is feared that there will be an many bodies buried under the debris In some places you can scarcely pass along the street there is such terrible odor The night of the storm we were all separated, so we did not know how the others were farlng. The water rose rapidly and the current was so swift could not get home. I spent the night in the office with large crowd. The roof blew off, so it rained all over the place. We were in the second story of brick building and were expect ing every minute that the walls would fall in on us. The pouring rain, crashing build ings, roaring waters, mingled with the de- spairing cries of the wounded and dying, was simply awful. MT. Moore tried to get May to the hotel, a block from the store. They had skiff, but the current was so strong they could scarcely manage It. When they were almost there the hotel blew down, so they landed May in two-story building where a lot of people had taken refuge. Albert was in a building that blew down and killed eight men. He says 1t is a mystery how he ever got out safe. Nam ma was at home alone. She went next door, and later they all had to leave that house. Being all in different places. it is wonderful hHY we all escaped uninjured.
 Everything in the house is ruined, the water being about feet deep. It averaged from to 20 feet over tn city. There is no danger of our suffering for food as we get groceries free. scarcely know what have written you, but I suppose you can make out that we are all we'll The bodies are loaded on barges and taken out to sea- There are so many they cannot be buried Yesterday afternoon there were more than 300 buried. I have to go to town to see about getting some groceries, so goodbye"
 Sunday evening at 7:30 at the home of the bride. MT. Wofford w. Powell and Miss Virginia Daly were united in marri- age, Rev. Father Galland officiating.
 The bride has resided in this city about three years, and a large circle of friends wish her Godspeed lifes journey. The groom is the of former Mayor Wilburn G. Powell, and was raised in this city. He is a young man of fine attainments and business qualifications. MT. and Mrs. Pow ell will reside in Bessemer, where the groom is engaged in the furniture business. Pratt Citys loss is Bessemers gain.

Frederick Warde

The story of "The Dukes Jester," a comedy, which will be presented by Fred erick Warde and the Brune company, which includes the two well-known stars, Mir. and Mrs. E. R. Spencer, at the Jeffer- son Theater Thursday night, is undoubt- edly an important piece of dramatic writ ing. It is of really fine literary merit, the diction being rich and smooth, while the metaphors and similes with which 1t abounds sparkle with the true luster of a master creation It is even claimed that the play is actually perfect in construc- ton. Each new development in the plot draws the spectator in closer sympathy with the story, enhancing their interest till the play ends in a pandemonium of excite ment with four-handed fight between ex- pert SwordSmen.

THE HERALD'S VIEW !
OTHERS

Grand Forks Herald: In the pro-
motion of Major White the committee
has followed a logical course. For
some time grave fears have been enter
tanned that the condition of Governor
Fancher's health would not permit him
to perform the duties Of his Office dur
ing another term, and his withdrawal
has been quietly discussed between
himself and his friends for some time.
There was some doubt as to the best
course to pursue, and one proposition
was to let things stand as they are un-
til after the new term began, when, IL
there were no improvement in the gov
ernor's health, he could retire, to be
succeeded by Lieutenant Governor
White. The present action of the
governor and the committee simply
~forestalls this action by a few months.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 20.-The excite
ment caused by the pending negotia-
tons for settlement of the strike has
subsidized this morning. The strike is
really considered over and everybody
calmly awaits an order to resume OPP
erations next week. Although Pres
ident Mitchell says the concessions Of
fered by the a%rbitrators don't satisfy
the union it is generally believed the
differences will be satisfactorily set
tied but no one seems to care in what
manner. The men are willing to let
the operators delude themselves by
the fiction of not recognizing the
union.

lieutenant governor, is a lawyer Of
ability, and a man Of excellent stand
ing in the state. He is we'll fitted for
the position of presiding officer of the
senate, to fill which is the principal
duty of the lieutenant governor.
The general openion is that the
ticket is strengthened by the change.
All of the candidates are now IN the
field, and in a position to do effective
work, whereas before this change the
head Of the state ticket a unable to
take any part in the campaign.
Fargo Call: Major Frank White
will, as the republican candidate for
governor, draw more votes from the
opposition party than any mar whom
the committee could have selected. His
standing with the soldier boys who
went to the Philippines with him bear
evidence of his immense popularity.
Dave Bartlett, the republican nominee
for lieutenant governor, was a happy
thought on the part Of the state central
committee. He is one of the c%leanest-
handed politicians in the state, thor
oughly equipped to fill the position
with credit to himself and the party.
Jamestown Alert: The resignation
of Governor Fancher was the principal
topic of conversation in jamestown to-
day. There were various views of the
matter taken, some thinking that it
was not to the best interests of the re-
publican party and others believing
otherwise. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral opinion that Mr.. Fancher will
make his residence from now on in
California and that his political career
in North Dakota is at an end.

Unknown Man Found Near Williston
Thought May Be the Missing
Chilkof.
Man Wanted for the Murder OF Simon
Welch Near This City Last
Summer.
States Attorney Allen Wires From
Fargo for Further Particulars
of the Man.

Fargo. Sept 2S.-Yesterday morn
ing the remains of a man were ound
in the Missouri river at Williston. Inc
BODY was found lying on it's back in a
pool of water about eight inches Deep
the feet out upon the bank. The stom-
ach and vital organs had been eaten
nv wolves, the head had been carried
AWAY to the bushes about forty RODS,
and the jaw bone about the same dis
lance in an opposite direction. There
is a tooth missing in both the upper
and lower jaw. The man was evidently
between 81 and 40 years old n
weighed about 10 pounds. About a
month ago the man who found him
and a companion saw a man lying
asleep on the bank lea the same place.
Then his coat was off. Now 1t Is on.
An old knife is the only thing that
was found on the body. No marks OF
violence were found and no suspicion
is attached to anyone. The coroners
inquest will be held tomorrow. The
body had evidently lain in it's present
position for three to four weeks.
States Attorney Allen of Bismarck,
who is in the city, noticed the article
in the papers and bethought him of the
description Of a man named Chilkotf
who is wanted at Bismarck on the
charge of having murdered a bachelor
farmer. there last May. Chilkof Is
described as having several teeth miss
ing and from the other particulars Mr..
Allen thinks that perhaps Chilkoff
committed suicide by drowning in the
river and that the remains found at
Williston are his. He has wired the
authorities at Williston for further
particulars.

STATES ATTORNEY ALLEN
THINKS THE DEAD BODY NEAR
WILLISTON MAY BE THAT OF
CHILKOFF.
Forum: District Attorney Allen,
after reading the Forum account last
night of the finding of the body of a
man on the Missouri river near Will
liston at once gave it as his opinion
that the body was that of Uric Chill
koff, for whose capture the authorities
of Burleigh county have offered $500.
Chilkoff had a tooth missing from
the front Of each jaw and his weight,
height, etc., correspond exactly with
the body found near Williston. The
last heard of Chilkoff was at Balfour,
in McHenry county, and the finding of
a body that tallies so closely with that
of Chilkoff in that neighborhood
strengthens the belief that the body is
his.
Chilkoff was sent to the penitentiary
from Cass county on the charge of
the larceny of a bicycle from Mrs. Dr..
barrow. He finished his term about
six months ago hung around Bismarck
for some time. He disappeared about
the time that Simon Welsh, a farmer
near there, was murdered, and suspi-
cion was at once attached to Chilkoff,
who flashed some money about the
time, claiming that it had been sent to
him from Russia. his former home.
Welsh was known to have a large
amount of money about his premises
and had just drawn some from the
bank.
A search vas at once instituted for
Chilkoff, but he was never found. The
reward now offered for his arrest is
$500.
Mr.. Allen wired the authorities Of
Williams county to compare the de-
scription of Chilkof to THAT of the
dead man more closely, calling especial
attention to some marks on the body.
Chdlkof has a number of large scars
and even II his body had lain out some
time it is not likely that the scars
would be unnoticeable.
Up to 2 O'Clock this afternoon no
word had been received from the Will
liams county officials.

PROMINENT REPUBLICANS THINK
THE STATE TICKET WILL BE A
FOUR TIME WINNER.

THE STATE TICKET WILL BE A
FOUR TIME WINNER.
Grand Forks, Sept. 2S.-A number
OF the members of the state committee
who were interviewed as to the effect
the change made would have upon the
vote this fall were of the opinion that
the ticket would be materially
strengthened by all the way from 1900
to 5000 votes. Secretary Jewell voiced
the sentiment of the entire committee
when he stated in answer to a query
regarding the matter that he believed
placing Major White at the head of the
ticket under the existing conditions
would be a great benefit to the ticket,
as Major White would be in a position
to make a personal anvas of the
state and that was what a great many
people were clamoring for in all Sec
lions Of the state. With a veteran OF
the civil war as a candidate for presi-
dent. a veteran Of the Spanish war a
candidate for vice president and a
hero of the Philippine war a candidate
for governor, North Dakota has a conf
bination, Mr.. Jewell thinks, that can
not be beat by any state in the union.
Lieut.-Gov. Devine, who is the can
didate on the state ticket for superfn-
tendent of public instruction, believes
that the ticket is materially strength
ened and other candidates who were
present, including Thos. F. Marshall
of Dickey, candidate for congress; d.
H. Mcmillan of Cavalier, candidate for
treasurer; o. D. Comstock of Benson,
candidate for attorney general; J. NJ.
Devine of LaMoure,~ candidate for state
superintendent OF public instructions;
f. F. Porter, secretary of state; C. J.
Lord, candidate for railroad commits
sioner. were of the opinion that all the
candidates on the ticket would be mu-
tually benefited by the change, on ac-
count Of the popularity Of Major
White and the reputation for integrity
possessed by David Bartlett, who will
add strength to the ticket in all Sec
lions of the state.
