earnings, that would form a basis Of
any arguments that might be made

Judge Gray expressed the opinion
that il would be criminal waste of
time To dispute over facts that could
be yeritlbly and accurately ascer-
tanned without dispute when once
ascertained,' said he, their interpre-
tation is another thing"
Mr.. Mitchell again said il was his
desire to facilitate matters. and that
there should be mutual agreement on
the facts, and that controversies
should be eliminated if possible.
That is the only object we have in
view, said he, lin asking that the
rates OF wages rs shown by the COM
panies' books be verified in advance =
President Baer responded by saving
that the men would know whether the
companies pay rolls were right and
that no issue would arise on that sub
ject.

Mr.. Mitchell.
"Undoubtedly" said Mr.. Baer.
After consulting the members of

commission. Mr.. Baer, after express
ing his Discrimination to accept tins
suggestion. said that his company
would submit their pay rolls under
oath Of their accountant He said
they now had 20 clerks who are work
ing day and night in compiling data
for the commission,
President Mitchell said that Il
would facilitate the work of the com.
mission if it would accept a general
statement on those issues that affect
all the companies and the mine work
erS alike; for instance, the question
of shorter hours.
Mr.. Truesdale said that his com
pany had plan by which it was
hoped to speedily adjust the difer-
ences between his company and the
men. This plan was for the miners to
appoint committee to meet a com
mittee of his company and discuss
their grievances. and if there were
any such that could not be settled.
then those issues should go before the
commission for final arbitration.
President Wilcox, speaking for his
company, said that the whole matter
was one of figures.
DIR. Weyl, for the miners, said that
if the suggestions of the chairman
were accepted, Mr.. Mitchell and him
self would not present the statistics
they had prepared, because they were
ready to concede that these figures
were not as full and correct as they
would be if taken from the com
pany's books.
President Baer, however. thought
that these statistics would be
check on the company's pay rolls and
should be presented.
Mr.. Mitchell responded that he
would not be persistent on the sub
iect. and turning to Mr.. Baer. said:

Here is another instance of what
a settler has done in the western part
of North Dakota, now being settled
so rapidly. The Bottineau News says:
B. Parker, of Richburg, came to
the country in 1899 with none and
property valued at $1,000, total. Be
sides a half interest in a large crop
last year, Mr.. Parker capped the eli
max this year. He was given by Win
ter & Ames at Souris last Friday a
single check for $500 for flax sold
them on that day. It did not repre-
sent all of his flax crop, as he had sold
a few loads before and he saved 800
bushels for seed. That was, however,
no doubt, the largest received by any
farmer this year for his crop. But this
does not represent all his years work,
however. Besides his flax he raised
1000 bushels Of wheat and 4.1O0 of
oats. His gross income from his crop
this year will be about $4,000 and the
net income about $4,000. How is that
for North Dakota?"

that those advertisers who make a
study Of advertising methods are usu-

be, and consequently secure better re-
suits. Among those in this city who
evince experience and tact he is pleased

IL Lie MAY cdSe his morning GeO.
Chadwick was called to the stand and
testified to having visited the Hibbs
ranch and to experiments made with
the well bucket showing that it would
sink when the pulley and ropes were
released.
Mrs. Hibbs was called to the stand
and testified to the fact that Jeff May
had cut his hand on a saw in the north
room OF the house the day after the
death of her husband and that the
wound had bled and he had bound it
UP with a pocket handkerchief.
She also testified to the object of
the proposed visit of herself and hus-
band to Bismarck the day her hus-
band met his death. The object was
to settle up some business between
her husband and Mr.. Hibbs, ST. Her
husband was to deed some land back
to his father and he had agreed to give
Harry $1,000 and to cancel a note fcr
1892. Since the death of her hus-
band she had signed the deed, and re-
eived $500 and the Cancelled note. She
had done this, she said, because Mr..
Hibbs had asked her to do so and she
did not want any of his property.
She also stated that at no time since
the examination began hal she been
solicited to testify to anything that
was not true, or that was not in az
cordance with the facts. She said
she did not know how her husband
met, his death. She had no interest
in the case except to see that justice
be done.
On redirect examination, States At
torney Allen put the following ques-
tions:
Do you care how your husband met
his death? A. I certainly do. Z.
And do you want to render all the as
sistance possible to see that justice is
done.
The witness was then asked if she
had " been to the Office Of the
states attorney to consult regarding
the case and said she had not because
she thought it was the place of the
states attorney to come and see her,
She was then asked if she knew any
thing that it would benefit the state
to know in ascertaining the true cause
of her husbands death whether she
would not tell the states attorney un-
less he asked her and she did not
think it was her place to run around
after the states attorney and tell him
what she knew. In answer to a
question whether if she had known
that the defendant killed her husband
she would not have told the states
attorney unless he looked her lip and
a~scertained about it. she said she
would have told him if she had known
that. .-
She stated further that she had
been at the ranch since the adjourn
ment of court and was asked if LIVER
son had told her that the officers had
found a bloody handkerchief Of Mr..
May in his o~veralls. She said he had
not. Somebody had told her about
a bloody handkerchief but she did
did not remember who it was or the
date. She said she did not know she
was to be asked about May cutting
his hand on the saw and wrapping ii
up in a handkerchief.
Further the witness stated she was
willing to leave the well and surround
ings in the same condition they are
now, until after the final disposition
of this acton unless she had to make
repairs and in that case she would in,
form the states attorney.
The examination of the witness
was continued this afternoon.

ceived and heartily applauded. He
failed to throw any fresh light on the
war situation but he strongly empha-
sized his hostility to the Irish party
and his desire to ALLEVIATE it from the
liberal camp.
Regarding the war Rosebery said
he had been ignorantly ridiculed for
the suggestion of casual peace nego-
tiations in some wayside inn," but
he thought the innocent mission Of
DR.. Kuyper bore fairly close analogy
to such course. The speaker
thought the reply of Lansdowne to
Kuyper was fitting and dignified, but
he thought the government had &C
wrongly in declining to reckon with
boer delegates III Europe and to al
low them to send a deputation to
south Africa.
THE trouble with the government"
said Rosehery, lis they are always
thinking of the present. l try to
think of the future when boer and
Briton will have to live together In
south Africa In conclusion he
begged his hearers not to be too
ready to allow their hands to he tied
by the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
