STRANGE STORY.
John Wilkes Booth Suicided Recently at
Enid, Oklahoma.

Enid, Okla, June 2.-Junius
Brutus Booth, actor and nephew of
John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Presi-
dent Lincoln, has fully identified the
remains of a man known as David E.:
George, as his uncle. George, or
Booth, committed suicide here Jan.
IA last, and in his effects was found
a letter directed to K. L. Bates, Of
Memphis, Tenn. Bates came here at
once and fully identified the body as
John Wilkes Booth. He then went
east and has obtained positive identi-
fication of the remains from the dead
mans nephew and from Joseph Jeffer-
son, CLARA Morris and a score of others
who knew him in his early days.
According to MI. Bates story he had
acted as Booths confidential agent
and attorney for nearly 40 years.
After Lincoln was shot the assassin
escaped to Carrots plantation in
Virginia. According to Mr.. Bates the
man who was killed was named
Ruddy. Being warned Booth left
Carrots and was taken care Of by
friends in Central Kentucky. He
later settled at Glenrose Mills, Tex.
where he conducted a store for severa.
years as John st. Helen.

A DAIRY RECORD.

During the months of November
and December last, fifteen COWS of the
Lake View Creamery herd turned
out Is, s72 pounds of milk containing
1913 pounds of butter. The value of
the product at rs cents per pound
amounted to $3.50; cost of feed for the
time was $45, leaving a net profit Of
1914. In this estimate no account is
taken of either the feeding value of
the skim milk or butter milk for
young stock.
These COWS are strictly dairy ami
mails and while there is nothing re-
markable about the yield, is a salts
factory showing considering that out
of the fifteen but two were fresh, n
had been milking nearly a year and
the balance we're fresh during July
and August.

MEETING.

The annual summer meeting Of the
North Dakota Press association will
be held at Chaurauqua July 10, IA,
and Is. Other places were men
toned for the meeting, but the COM
mittee considered, that the best result
would be secured by meeting again
on the shores of Devils Lake. Edi-
tors Small, of Devils Lake, Falley,
of Wahpeton, and Gilbreath, of Man
dan, have charge of the program, and
are now working to secure for the
editors and their ladies entertainment
which will entertain, with due
regard to the business interests of the
association. The heavy work will of
course fall on Bro. Small, as he is on
the ground, and is familiar with
local conditions. He is hard at
work, and all the officers of the asso-
citation hope to make this meeting a
record breaker, both in interest, and
in attendance.
The committee seems to have acted
wisely in selecting the Chautauqua
grounds as the meeting place. There
is no doubt that other places which
Lad invited the editors to meet with
them would have entertained them
we'll, but there is no other place in
the state where the conditions are SO
favorable for a crowd and a good
meeting as the Chautauqua. So fa1
as the business of the association is
concerned, that could be transacted
as we'll at one place IS at another,
but the matter Of business alone
twould not attract many, with the
thermometer lowering among the
nineties. And, when business is
over, and the members want to cut
lose for a real good time, where car
they find natural conditions so well

was the case of the City Of Devils
Lake vs. Gunder Tweeten, a criminal
action brought or a charge of assault
and battery. Judge Cowan instruct

Perhaps the most important case Of
the tenn was the damage suit brought
by Alexander Cardin, of this city
against George Orvis, the Churchs
Ferry hotel man. Cardin sued for
81, 900, defamation of character being
the ground upon which the action
was brought. Cardin had been en-

Ferry. While stopping at the Orvis

made the victims and Cardin had

NEW YORK, September pa friend
of mine, man of observation and expo
rience, impressed me somewhat with
remark. He said: "Thc prominence Mt
tanned by young George B. Mcclellan
can be traced to the fact that he is the
son Of General George B. Mcclellan. 1t
is not an isolated instance. Robert Lin
coin could have been man of great dls-
tinction had he allowed public sentiment
to work in his behalf. Fred Grant has
benefited by being the son OF General
Grant. I could name many instances to
prove that the public at large Is ready to
look to the sons of distinguished 49,
for political preferment." There is a rest-
son for this 1t is natural social law
that leadership should pass from father
to son. What Is odd is that so few young
men who have rights to preserve, prin-
ciples so support, and names to sustain,
seek political preferment. or to put 1t an
other way, are so willing to shirk their
duty as citizens. This is due in many IN
stances to two causes. one the modesty
Of the individual that prevents his max
ing a commencement the other the fee
bleness of local political organizations
which make no effort to bring desirable
citizens forward.
In the long list OF men who have been
Governors of the State Of New York,
there never has been one who did better
service than Edwin D. Morgan, we'll
known as the War Governor" Mr..
Morgan was merchant and a man OF
large affairs. He took to his office ex-
perience and natural ability. He was
elected and served at time when q
strong man was necessary His record
is part of the history OF the State and
the name OF Morgan is specially honor
ed and remembered. His grandson, Edwin
D. Morgan, is, I understand, staunch
Republican, like his grandfather He is
a Harvard man, we'll known yachtsman
and a member Of the several syndicates
which built defenders for the cup. He Is
man of business, of ability and OF
sterling character; and yet have never
heard of his taking an active part in
national affairs. II this nation Is to be
preserved, If Its principles are to be cher
lshed, 1t behooWes men of his class and
circumstances to issue from the privacy
OF their retirement and to actively engage
In the national political life.
Another man we'll able to figure In
the national life of the country is Edward
r. Thomas. the son Of the late General
Sam. r. Thomas. who was for many
years prominent in the Republican party.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1903-09-27

Mr., Thomas Is a man of business. of un-
usual ability and possesses the time and
means to devote some Of his energies
to the great interests which per-
meate the principles Of the great politt-
cal parties. Yachting, racing and kin
dped sports have their interests and
compensation5, but they are feeble, in
deed, to those afforded by devotion to
public matters, Sportsmanshlp is we'll
enough in its way, but craftsmanship
brings with 1t the consciousness of the
performance OF duty.
Men like George b. Mcclellan. James
w Gerard, Francs Burton Harrison and
George r.. Sheldon should be tono ed
by any and every community, They rom
der a service 10 the public at la SO and
place in evidence examples of good CT T.
zenship, The influence such men exert,
whatever their individual political IA tn
may be, is for the hetterment of ,nu-
nicipal, county, State. and national fe.
