We were complimented on Monday
by a very pleasant call from {. C.
Hanks, of Wolfe county, Kentucky,
who had brought the body Of his
brother, ex.Sheriff Hanks, here for
burial. Mr.. Hanks is a prominent
man OF his section Of the state. He
served his county eight years as
sheriff and two years as county clerk,
having been appointed to fill out the
term OF the deceased clerk. MIR.
Hanks was one OF John Morgan's
soldiers and was with that noted
confederate chieftain at the time
he was killed in Greenville, Tenn, in
1864. The deed which will be writ the
highest in the judgment book in his
favor was his unselfish and almost
filial care of his afflicted brother in
the last years OF his life, and that at
a great personal sacrifice, which, to
his everlasting credit, he refused to
consider. Mr.. Hanks Is a friend OF

year as a student in the ateliers OF
Paris. He has been a pupil of GeTome
and two or three other prominent
teachers. He devotes the same energy
to art that he gives TO his vast bust
ness interests. He does not hope to
become a painter. But he does intend
to know the methods Of various artists
whose work he wishes to buy, and he
does not mean to be deceived.
THE motive for these forgery stories
is not hard to find. 1t has its origin
in the jealousy of the English and con-
tinental museums. The authorities OF
the Louvre, the Berlin and British mu-
seums may be dickering for some valu-
able object of art. They have Il COM
paratively limited sum at their dis
posal. Their offers are lower than the
would-be seller is willing to take. Mr..
Morgan comes along. He knows the
painting or antique, as the case may
be. He learns the price and he pays

bid his rivals has made Europe angry

FARMING IN NORTH DAKOTA.
Soil In Good Condition for Seedlna-In-
creased Acreage.

SiCaSSO HSICdSCs
Special to The Globe.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 6.-An
that is needed now in this section to make
seeding general is a few days of warm
weather. Seldom has the soil been in bet
ter condition at this time of year. Last
fall there was rain enough early in the
season to wet the ground thoroughly, and
this was permitted to soak well into the
subSon before frost came. In consequence
of this condition, the land is now in shape
to be dried out sufficiently for seeding
and in most cases 1t is now dry enough
to work. The frost in most cases Is not
yet far enough out to permit the ground
to be worked, but two or three days of
ordinarily warm weather will suffice to
put 1t in condition and set all the farm
erS at work.
The acreage Of land ready for seeding
this spring is greater than it has been
for some years, as through the greater
part OF the state the weather last fall
was favorable for blowing, and there was
less land left over on this account. In
addition to this. there are additions to the
cultivated area all over the western coun-
ties, owing to the breaking up of new land
by settlers who have just come in. This

grafton is already considerable OF
course, the new breaking will in many
cases not figure in this years crop as
there is practically only one crop that can
be raised on it. But the new land always

MORGAN IN ART
Gen. ri CesnoIa Says He and Clark
Are Expert Buyers.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Stories hav-
ing their origin abroad. that ]. Pier
pont Morgan, Senator Clark and other
millionaire Americans, who buy largely
OF the paintings and antiques, have
been swindled by limitations, were de-
MED yesterday by Gen. Louis P. Dl
Cesnola, director of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. In doing this, how
ever. he added significantly, None Of
us is infallible."
only a few days ago" he said, Mr..
Morgan spent several hours with me at
the Museum of Art.
al hear you are easily duped when
1t comes to art / said to him.
yes he replied, L understand the
museum is crowded with bogus objects
I have presented. If you wish 1 shall
send q lot of drays here and have them
carried away
at Is needless to say I told him he
need not send the drays around imme-
diately.
This talk about the swindles of
which Mr.. Morgan has been the subject
is absurd. do not say he Is infallible,
Any of US are liable to be taken in
once in a while. Even the great Eu-
ropean museums are not exempt. But
there are several good reasons why he
is less vulnerable to deceitS than
judge Of paintings and tapestries. In
the second he consults experts. True.
the experts may be in league with the
swindlers. But do you suppose man
who has Mr.. Morgan's business sa-
gacity and keen judgment of human
nature is going to trust other than ex-
perts of tried ability and unimpeach-
able integrity? You would not think
SO If you knew the man. Moreover. he
is willing to pay for expert opinion
what some men would decline to pay
for a painting.
Perhaps the best safeguard which
surrounds Mr.. Morgan's buying is the
class Of art for which he completes.
In paintings 1T is largely the old mas
tiers. These paintings are listed. Try
to sell Mr.. Morgan a forged RapheI.
When you bring the canvas to him he
will be able to tell you where the orig
inal is, in what city, in what gallery, in
what room, it's number in the gallery.
II might say also there is much non
sense in the talk of indiscriminate buy
ing by Senator Clark. One would think
he and Mr.. Morgan went into art stores
and asked for few million dollars

masters thrown in. Senator Clark is
one of the most careful buyers in the

SUICIDE WAS A
FORMER BARONESS
South Dakota Record of Mrs. Louise
Ames Van Weik.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Campbell
Royston, Of Baltimore, arrived in Jer-
sey City today to take charge of the
body Of Mrs. Louise Ames Van Weik,
who committed suicide there yesterday.
Her body was taken to Baltimore to-
day. Mr.. Royston said Mrs. Van Weik
had inherited about $4,000 and that
she still owned property worth about
that amount in Baltimore and Wash
lngton. Mr.. Royston said that Mr.. Van
Welk, her first husband, is postoffice
inspector in ST. Louis.
Mr.. Royston today discovered In Mrs
Van Weik's box in safe deposit vault
two sealed packages addressed to her
daughter. Dorothy Van Weik, who is
living with relatives in Washington
With them were directions that one
of them be delivered to the daughter
when she was fourteen and the other
when she was twenty years old. She
is now aged eleven. Mr.. RoySton also
found letter directed to him in which
Mrs. Van Weik asked him to adopt
the daughter
SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. April 6.-Mrs.
Louise Ames Van Weik was until a
short time ago the Baroness Wolf
bauer, the South Dakota courts having
only recently granted her a divorce
from Baron Wolfbauer, an Austrian
nobleman. For about a year she lived
at Hot Springs. She came from there
to this city last October. She evidently
feared the baron would contest the
legality Of her decree, for it is said
she retained a room In the hotel, agree
Ing to pay for it Indefinitely, her pur-
pose being to maintain a semblance
Of a residence.
Her father was captain in the
United States army. She was born
near Buffalo, N. Y, thirty-two years
ago. After her father and mother
died she was sent to Indiana and be-
came student at Depauw university.
AS the granddaughter OF ex-PresiderA
Ames, Of the institution, she received
much attention.
Mr.. Van Weik, her first husband,
said to have been a member of the
family Of New York state of that
name, was also a student in the uni
Versity. She became his wife a year
after leaving college. They Travelled
considerably. One child, Dorothy, was
born. This child was the mothers only
companion in her residence in Sioux
Fails and South Dakota. Mrs. Van
Weik first met Baron Wolfbauer only
about a year and a half ago. Their
married life was unhappy. They had
been introduced in Paris. He was a
man OF fine appearance and delight
full manners.

TO THE VERGE
OF DISRUPTION
This Is Where Irish Home
Rule Has Brought British
Ministry.
Special Cable to The Globe.

POINN4ctA N|ciOIC " L he OTlODS.
DUBLIN, April 6.-Perhaps the most
accurate Interpretation of Mr.. Cham
berlain's apparent denial of home rule
rumors is that it was a concession to
Unionist clamor. There is little doubt
that the colonial secretary would have
preferred silence at the present juno
ture, but reports, many of them exag-
gerated, concerning the intentions of
the government, are producing so much
tumult in the ministerial party that
some sort Of pronouncement by a rec
ognized leader of the cabinet became
necessary. Mr.. Chamberlain delayed
saying anything until the whole pro-
gramme of the ministry appeared
threatened with disaster.
After all the Irish question is essen
tally colonial question, and Mr..
Chamberlain, who is anxious to settle
all colonial questions in accordance
with the principles of voluntary poIit-
ical association, must realize that his
work as the unifier of all the Britafns
can never be complete while Ireland is
disloyal. Therefore he wishes to find a
means of revolutionizing this disloy-
atty.
However, the mere shadow Of home
rule has brought the government to the
verge of disruption. Hence thoughts
In that direction on the part of the
Ohlon1st party must be kept under
pending a more opportune moment.
Nevertheless only an unexpected revi-
val OF animosity between England and
Ireland can arrest the present strong
general tendency toward home rule.

THROWS HIMSELF
UNDER ENGINE
Frank Nickoboy Dash Onto
the Rails and Is Instant
.ly Killed.

Frank Nickoboy. Of Hopkins, man of
forty-fve, who has been for some time
considered as in a wandering condition
mentally, yesterday committed suicide in
a sensational manner by placing his head
on the track ahead of Milwaukee train.
He was neatly decapitated, and there is
apparently no means of discovering why
Mr.. Nickoboy was so anxious to end his
life.
The suicide occurred at Thirty first
street and the Milwaukee tracks. The
tra1nmen were pulling their train into an
elevator there when they saw Nickoboy
lettering ahead of the train, in close
proximity to the tracks. The man was
slgnalled to get out Of the way, and
he seemed to heed the signals, but when
the cars were close to him he suddenly
removed his hat and made a dash for the
rails. The man was seen to throw him
self on the track with his neck on the
rail, and every effort was made to stop
the train, but without avail Nickoboy
was instantly killed. The remains We're
removed to the morgue on Coroner Will
liams' order.

The first case against A. A. Ames will

in court were Irwin A. Gardner, Fred

Cohen, Fred Malone, George H. Harvey,
ex-detective. and Charles H. Brown.
The cases against Fred w. Ames were
all continued over the term on account
of the appeal now pending in the su-
preme court. The Gardner cases were set
for April q, but there is no likelihood
that any Of them will be tried The in
