The Nine PeriIs.

Dean Collins of Mandan, in a recent
sermon, outlined the nine perils that
menace the national life, as follows:
l. The growing religious and &C.
clesiastical indifferentism amongst the
100000 people Of America
2. A spirit Of avarice in trade and
commerce.
3. The toiling masses of labor in
the country who are being gradually
reduced to slavery while combines and
syndicates flourish.
4. The evils and miseries produced
by the infamous liquor traffic.
5. Goddess and Christless education
of the American youths Of the land.
6. 81 would not if | could" said
Father Collins, "and could not if [
would, destroy the school system but
l would supplement- it by q distinc-
lively efficient, religious and moral
education or instructions.
7. Divorces and Mormonism.

not needed in this land. Everything
in the public life Of the country should
be subject to public criticism and thus
form healthty public opinion, which
opinion is the only monarch that we
Americans should respect. European
princes, kings and kaisers are not to
be consulted on American affairs.
8. Anarchists and others who pro-
fess the same teachings, should not
be admitted to our country. 10 the
poor and well deserving people OF the
old world who wish to come here to
learn our language and observe our
laws and be law abiding citizens and
exemplary Christians, we should at all
times accord hearty welcome.

BEATEN TO DEATH.
Details Of the Shocking Murder Of
Fritz Phillip. a Bowdon
Blindpigger.
Five Men Arrested CHARGED With
Having Robbed and Mur-
dered Phillip.
Murdered Man Leaves a Wife and
Five Children in Gar
ner, Iowa.

Details of shocking murder, which
occurred at Bowdon, have been re-
ceived. Fritz Phillip, keeper OF a
blindpig, was robbed and beaten tt
death and the crime is charged tt
Thomas Davis, Thomas Carr. Albert
Bowman, Harry Cullum and James
O'Brien, all transients.
Phillip came from Garner, Iowa,
three months ago, to BoWdon and
started a blindpig as means OF sup
port. On the night in questionlthere
was a large crowd in his place of busi,
ness drinking and carousing until
O'Clock when there were only about
thirty left. The evidence seems tc
indicate that finally but the five men
now under arrest were left and they
decided to rob Phillip. In the morn
ing,a bout O'Clock, some OF the citi-
zens visited the blindpig and found
Phillip and Davis in bed together.
Davis was in a drunken stupor and
Phillip was nearly dead. He lived
only until midnight.
A watch charm and coat, which
were identified as having belonged to
Phillip, also a pair Of skeleton keys
were found on the prisoners and a
broken table leg and buggy spoke were
picked up in the shack with blood
upon them indicating that they had
been used in fight
At the inquest it developed that
death had been occasioned by blows on
the head and shoulders. Davis waived
examination. The others demanded
a hearing.
Phillip leaves a wife and five child
rem in Iowa. He was possessed OF
considerable money.
One story regarding the crime is
that Cullum, Carr and Bowman went
home about 2 o'clock and that Davis
lay on the ground outside the shack.
O'Brien did not 60 up town with them
DuU SUil uCu CONdluS UllO 1IllIoeeS'
yards saying he was going to sleep in
a box car. The theory is advanced
that Davis idea in lying on the
ground and refusing to 60 up town,
and O'Brien's claim that he was 60
ing to a box car, were a ruse to
''shake" the other three, and that
O'Brien afterwards returned and as
sisted Davis in the murder. Another
report is that all five were in the ac-
tual killing. Everything in the build
ing was smashed and all liquors were
gone. 1t is thought that robbery was
contemplated and whether or not it
was their intention to kill Phillip, the
fast that he was killed in connection
with the robbery holds them to the
charge Of murder.

Mrs. Bush protested against the pay
ment Of So for fumigating room IN
her hotel where a transient had been
afflicted with smallpox. She stated
that she had been obliged to destroy
the bedding and could not use the
room for a week and therefore lost
money all around. Auditor Eager
stated he told Mrs. Bush that She
should present a bill for property de-
stroyed. The matter of residents
paying for fumigating and other work
was discussed and the general opinion
seemed to be that the city should col
lect money paid out for disinfecting
and fumigating residences OF owners
possessed of means to pay. The city
auditor stated that so far the bills
were not being paid by anyone and a
number stated that they would not
pay the bills. City Attorney Thorp
said the law was that the amount
paid out by the city in cases OF con-
tagious disease should be charged up
against the person receiving the bene-
fit and collected if possible. On mo-
tion the bills were referred to the
board of health and city attorney with
instructions to collect.

ing of letter from L. f. Branch, ex-
city engineer, in which he stated that
the grade Of the streets and sidewalks
had been established but that the
ordinance covering the matter had
been repealed, a committee was in
structed to proceed to have the grade
re-established and present a suitable
ordinance to the council. The com.
mittee was authorized to employ an
engineer to assistIin the work.
AldermanlKurtz reported that the
committee on public grounds had
looked up the matter of the petition
of the baseball club to move the grand
stand to the grounds near the court
house from the fair grounds. 1t was

Mr.. James L. Pugh, jr.. assistant cor
poration counsel. returned home yesterday
from his annaul vacation. The genial
prosecutor went away about the time his

court vigorously prosecuting violators of
the law. His absence was explained to
the satisfaction of all concerned.

MONTGOMERY county and expects some day
to become a voter. He had spent his va
cation on the farm, where he learned to
handle the pillow, drive cattle, milk cows
and perform all the work required of an
up-to-date agriculturist. He gained in
flesh while performing the hard work. and
his tanned complexion shows the result
Of his out of doors employment.
Mr.. Pugh has not abandoned his resi-
dence here, and, SO far as the commits
sionership is concerned, he Is in the hands
Of his friends.

They carried him in from the sur
geons' room and laid him on the mar
row little bed that the nurse had made
ready. Her eyes were wide, and her
face was pale to the lips, but her step
was steady and her manner calm as
they withdrew and left her alone with
him. A suppressed sob shook her
frame as she lightly touched the band
ages over his eyes, those honest gray
eyes in which she had read nothing but
loyalty and devotion But Annie Nor
ton was a trained nurse, and she fore
ed down the rising tide of emotion and
sat beside her patient, quietly waiting
for him to regain consciousness. When
| he stirred, her hand was on his breast
in an instant, holding him steady.
ssOnly the nurse" she said in low,
even tone. ''You are to remain per-
fectly quiet"
The meaning of her words came to
him slowly as the effect of the an@s-
thetic wore of.

are my eyes bandagedY
'aThey have been injured she ex-
planned, 'sbut we think not seriously.
The only way to be sure that we shall
save your sight is to keep the eyes
bandaged for time"
Her quiet manner subdued him, and
be was silent, but only for a moment.
TEL me first" he said, have you
seen my brother, Jim Curtis?"
A shudder ran through the girl. Yes,
she had seen him, stretched out in
eternal quiet
"AIl is well with him." she answered,
''but you must be quiet now"

WORTH 100000, 600.

The President of certain big Oil Com
pany is said to be worth $500, 0O0, 900. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn't happy. In an address to Bible
class he spoke of trials and troubles of the
rich and tbs loads they have to carry A
young lady whispered to friend that he
might wear Benson's Porous Plaster on his
back or, better still, divide the money among
the members of the class. don't know
why her idea about the plaster makes me
want to laugh, but it does. All the same
have seen plenty of people laugh after
putting Benson's Piasters on their backs
or chests, or on any other spot where there
was weight, heaviness, weakness or pain.
It may be the sharp stabs of neuralgia, tho
aches and wrenches of rheumatism it may
be colds in muscles or bones; it may be
those kidney or lumbago thrusts that make
you yell as at dog bite; or it may be
strain or cramp, anything that wants quiet
ing and comforting. Don't bother with
salves, lniments, lotions, etc., or with any
of the stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on Benson's. It relieves at once
and cures quickly. It stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and good
feeling of it. But watch out against i'm
