THE A VOTE.

Secretary of State Porter leads the
procession of republican candidates
with a total vote of 3333,3373. His ma
jority over his opponent Quarum is
18, 719. H. l.. Holmes, candidate for
state auditor, received the next largest
vote, 1880, his majority over his OPP
ponent being 1857. These are the
only two candidates on the republican
ticket, aside from Cochrane who had
NO opposition. and Stockwell, whose
total vote was increased because of the
woman vote for that office, who re-
ceived above $4,000 votes. The other
candidates follow along with total
votes ranging between 10000 and 49,
900. Marshall reaches nearest to the
$4,000 mark, receiving a total of 1896
votes. Mcmillan gets within six votes
of MarshalI's total and Bartlett a few
less than Mcmillan. Spalding gets
only 1872 votes less than Marshall,
which shows how closely the republic
can candidates for congress ram to-
gether. The fact that Marshall had
the first place on the ticket would ac-
count for the sight difference in the
total vote of the two candidates.
The greatest total vote cast in the
state was on the governorship, reach
ing 5O,43 The average total vote
fer congressman was 1868, or nearly
1900 fewer than the total vote for the
governorship. The average total vote
for the other state candidates was about
$4,000, in some cases exceeding that
by a hundred OF two and in other cases
falling slightly below that total. The
average total vote for the republican
candidates for Office, excluding judge
of supreme court, state superintendent
and railroad commissioners, is 1881.
The average total vote for the demo-
cratic candidates for Office is 1890.
The average republican majority is IT,
741.
For judge of supreme court John M.
Cochrane received 1925 mor votes
than the average total of the republic
can candidates. For state srperin-
tendent of public instruction there
were cast about 1000 more votes than
for the other state officers, indicating
that number of woman votes. If the
woman vote in the state is compare
lively the same as the male vote. only
about one woman in twelve voted.

MURDER OUT AT MILTON.

Pembina county has a sensation in
the form of another murder mystery
coming to light. The Edinburgh Tri-
bune is authority for the statement
that Knute S. Norgard, who died in
Milton on Monday of last week, of con-
sumption, made a confession on his
death bed, in the presence of a min
lister and others, that some seven years
ago. with another man, he murdered
jackson Menes, a merchant of that
place. His accomplice was a clerk
who was in the employ of Mr.. Menes.
The body was thrown in a we'll where
it was afterward found by Charlie Hol-
berg. The latter was afterward ar
rested for the crime but was acquitted
fer want Of sufficient evidence. Mr..
Norgard was an attorney and formerly
placticed at Rugby. He was the re-
publican nominee at the late election
for county judge of Pembina county,
but was defeated by Judge Dorval, the
present enc1mlbent. Mr.. Norgard
leaves a wife and two children. The
mysterious murder of Menes created
a great excitement throughout the
northern part OF the state at lifetime

What is Believed to be the Logical
Outcome of Plan for Washburn
Road Extensions.
Possibilities of the New Territory and
Fertile Country That May Be
Traversed.

Minneapolis Journal: Another line
from Minneapolis to Moosejaw, ASSN
iboia, is regarded as the logical result
Of prospective extensions of the Bis
,marck, Washburn & Great Falls rail
road. This road, constructed by Gen
eral w. D. Washburn of Minneapolis,
now runs from Bismarck to Washburn,
N. D., about forty miles. It was in
operation for two years before the 500
road entered Bismarck, but with the
advent of the latter system at that
point the Washburn road Immediately
assumed largely increased Importance
through uts intimate relations with the
500 interests.
As the name of the road indicates, it
was undoubtedly the plan of the pro-
jector to extend it westward along the
Missouri valley to Great Fails, Mont.
However, that may be, it is now sus-
.pected that the more immediate extern
sion will be to Moosejaw. 1t is about
200 miles from Washburn the present
terminus, to Buford, N. D., which lis on
the Missouri river close. to the Mon
tana line. This much eft the new con
struction would be available for the
ultimate line to Great Fails as we'll as
for the Moosejaw line. From Buford
to Moosejaw the distance is about 40
miles.
The 500 already has a direct line to
Moosejaw, crossing the boundary line
at Portal. In case the Washburn line
is extended, it will practically parallel
the 500 line about 100 miles west.
While it would not be regarded as
probable that General Washburn would
take any steps to cut into the business
of the 500, the new line would be far
enough west of the present main line
to develop an independent carrying
business. The new route from Min
neapolis would he over the present 500

In this case, the Police Relief Association,
which had been organized for the purpose of
accommodating a fund for the relief of officers
Of the Minneapolis police department who
should remain in service a certain length of

claims to. appear and file their claims for
whatever amounts they deemed themselves

HOME FOR FINE ARTS
The Need of a Special Building
Becoming Urgent.
LIBRARY QUARTERS cRAMPED
The Building Needed Would Accom-
modate the Art School and Sup
ply Private Studios.

Minneapolis should have an art institute
similar to the institute in Chicago, al
though, of course, on smaller scale. ! Ia I
is the opinion expressed by majority OF
the members of the Society OF Fine Arts,
and it is likely that move will be made
shortly looking toward the erection or
such a building.
At present the School of Fine Arts is
located in the public library building, but
it is cramped for room and more commo-
dious quarters have now become neces-
sity if the school is to maintain Its etl-
cheney. Moreover, the library board itself
is DESTROYS to use the space now occupied
by the school for library purposes, and
if other arrangements can be made the
school will be moved shortly. = A~
Such building as the one contemplated
would cost anywhere from $50, 900 to $780,
900, including the site, which must be IN
some down town location not too far from
the library building, where the clty,s col
lection of casts is housed. The plan pro-
vides for the establishment, in the new
building, of permanent art gallery and
for the display also of such collections as
may be sent here from time to time for
temporary hanging. In addition, a nall
would be provided for casts and statuary
source Of income which the promoters
believe might be made to amount to con-
Siderable would be the rest paid by ar
tlSCS Tor SCuQ1OS Wltulu the DullulHeo., ouot
at present, Minneapolis artists are finding
it exceedingly difficult to secure studios
Many of them have been compelled to in
wade the business blocks where the rooms
are not at all suited to artistic purposes. Z
In addition to all this the institute, if
erected, will provide class and lecture
rooms. The question of finance is the
only stumbling block, but an effort will
be made to see what can be done among
,ho~e of hN ntu 9th n he
way of subscriptions. Iii -
1t has been suggested that an addition
might be built to the library building, but
the board has not the funds and has re-
fused to consider the proposition. The
upper stories of the present building, now
occupied as museum and by the School O.
Fine Arts, were not constructed with ar
idea that they might ultimately be USED
| for library purposes, and the floors vii
have to be strengthened if books are to be
| placed there. However, this work will be
comparatively inexpensive. .-.l- -&...c

49, go Mistake. u -
There can be no question about the
sterling integrity of Sergeant John J., A.
Floyd, of Troop C, Thirteenth cavalry,
now on his way from Fort Assiniboine,
Mont, to Fort Yello wstone, Wyo. In mail
ing envelopes with cash for the enlisted
men at the outlying rosts of the depart
ment of the Dakotas, the paymsster en-
closed much larger sum in one envelope
than was its due. Having no means of
knowing to whom the envelope had been
addressed; he charged the loss to his own
account. A few days ago he received the
Cverpay, and a blunt note from Floyd say
ing there had evidently been mistake.
