The News Diseredited In It's Own
 Household.

The Dardanelle Post-Dispatch, edited by John II. Page, secretary of the State Board Of Charities, and the subscrvient political tool end henehman Of GoverDof Davis, has apologised 10 it's constituency for reproducing an arueie from the St. Francis tounty News, another Davis organ. in which the News is discredited and the Post Dispatch places it's own integrity in ques- tion.
 Hcte is the apology, vctbatih, taken from the Post Dispatcb:
 "of No slGNificANcE
 Two weeks ago there appear ed in the columns of the P D. through inadvertance an article clipped from the St. Francis Coun- ty Democrat, without comment. The aruele was relative 10 an in terview with citizen of Helena by n reporter for the Memphis News. It has no significance in he present political campaign, and we presume was mol or. .inally in tended 10 have any, and il should have no significance. However. some of the friends of the P-D. have made induiry 10 know if the article in question reflected any. thing in regard 10 the relations between Senator Clark and Cover nor Davis, which was not the case. and 10 set completely at rest any such idea we publish this disclaim- CT. Tho relations between Sena- tor Clark and Governor Davis are not different from what they have always been"
 The points we wish to empha- SEQ are these:
 If the Post Dispatch believes that "it has no significance in the present campaign" why did the P-D. reproduce the article?"
 Isn't il tact that the article did have a significance in this cam paign, and is It not fact that the P.D. reproduced that article be- cause 1t believed that it was signi. ticantY Is it not a fact that the article was more significant than the P.D. thought for, and that it brought down a thunder clap of protestanon about it's cars, the llkc of winch 1t has not heard be. foreg And is i, not a fact that thus apology is a fimsy, cowardIy makeshift in which the P-D. at tempts 10 protect itself by dis eredlhng the News.
 The article was intended by Editor Izard 10 have great signif- canoe in this campalgn, and if 1t had been based upon existing con ditions instead of the imagining, of Editor lzard, it would have been u force.
 The article did reflect the rela- tlons between Senator Clark and Governor Davis, because these re, lations are strained and have been. l and the P.D. wouli have us be. 1 lieve they are bosom friends.
 We think it very small politics on Pages part, 10 reproduce lizards article to make campaign thunder, and then try to cast 2 slnr upon 1zard because Page'a subscribers wouldn't stand for it.
 We hope the News will no, feel bad aeont this matter, for we 10 not think h t many of Pages readers take him seriously.
 And while we are thinking of Dardanelle We are reminded of what we heard tLr captain of the Dar3an He Military Compsnv

HERE'S NEW THEORY
A State Official Figures Twas Mrs.
Pennell Who Killed
Burdick.
infatuated With Him, She Resented
His Attachment for Another
Woman.

Among the theories respecting the Bur-
dick case is a shrewd one offered by one
of the state officials to this effect:
Burdick was killed by Mrs. Pennel.
Mrs. Pennell was not ignorant Of the at
tachment between Mr.. Pennell and Mrs.
Burdlck. l5l , The testimony goes to show
that She in turn had formed an attach
ment for Burdick. She viewed the possi-
bility Of separation between herself and
Mr.. Pennell and his ultimate union with
Mrs. Burdick with unusual composure,
because she hoped it might result in a
like relation between herself and Burdick.
But Burdick did not become particular
y interested in her. On the contrary, his
attention seemed to be directed more to-
ward Cleveland woman, and the theory
is that when Mrs. Pennen besought Bur-
dick to marry her in the event of separa-
tion between his wife and himself, and
she learned from him, as she probably
did. that he intended to marry the Cleve-
land woman when divorced from Mrs.
Burdick, she. in a fit of jealous rage,
struck him and killed him.
The, wrapping of his head in a quilt is
regarded as an act of woman, and
other facts Of the situation in the room
where Burdick was killed support the
theory that the murder was committed
by a woman.
This theory of the crime further as
sumes that Mrs. .Pennell confessed to
her husband, who, seeing the terrible
stua ton to which the irregular domestic
relations. Of the Pennell and Burdick fam
lilies had brought them, and wishing to
avoid exposure and disgrace which would
be worse than death, planned the auto
mobile rid" for the purpose of putting an
end to the unhappy career Of both his
wife and himself. That this ride was
undertaken with a suicidal intent Is fur
ther indicated by the dispatches to-day
showing the movements of the automo-
bile during that drive.

NEW CHARTER "A NECESSITY
Former Mayor Jones' Solution Of
Municipal Corruption Problem.

D. p. Jones, former acting mayor, said,
in an address last evening before the
Ralph Conor club of Grace Presby terian
church, that only through a new charter
could Minneapolis hope to- secure herself
tions of the Arnes stamp. Every good cit
izen was urged to do all in his power to
impress upon the legislature the necessity
Of granting Minneapolis the means of pro-
tecting herself against Eunscrupulous poll
ticians. With a new charter and special
municipal elections,3 the public attention
could be exclusively centered on munich
pal interests, and the picking out Of the
right men for mayor and aldermen. 1t
should be the aim Of the community, said
Mr.. Jones, to put the best men in office,
pay them salaries commensurate with
their worth, and thus raise the standard
of politics. Mr.. Zones advocated the cen
tering. of power in the mayor and the
holding Of him alone responsible fer the
proper administration of affairs. BY pay
ing the mayor salary of from $4,000 to
$40, 900. it would be possible to secure the
services of men in every way fit to as
sumo the grave responsibilities of direct.

A Bankers Story.

1.-THE growth Of accounts in the Henne-
pin County Savings Bank" said Cashier
w. H. Lee to-day, tells an interesting
story bank account is opened with a
few dollars and then the habit of saving
begins. Soon 1t becomes a pleasure to
put money away and see the pile grow.
Nowhere else, that I know Of, does a
man get SO much satisfaction at so little
cost as when he puts his surplus earn
ings into the bank. He has the pleasure
which comes from the assurance that he
has something laid up for the inevitable
rainy day" Of sickness or misfortune, and
when. the opportunity comes for him to
go into business or buy home, he has
the nest egg ready. Better even than
this advantage is the habit Of saving.
The Hennepin County Savings Bank
has stood longer than any other savings
bank in Minnesota. 1t has a capital and
surplus Of $4,000 behind it. This capt
tai and surplus is the protection to every
depositor. and guarantees the safety Of
his money in this bank. Money deposited
up to and including the 9Th of April will
draw interest from the 1st.

DAMPER FOR PROsPECTORS
Reasons for Thinking Highland Range
Contains No Iron, by a Min, -.
ino Expert.

The improbability of finding iron ore in
the Highland range, despite the recent
rush Of prospectors to that part Of Mime
sofa. is demonstrated by Arthur H. Eft
man, a local mining expert, in the current
number of the Engineering and Mining
Journal. Many leases have already been
taken of land still covered with three feet
of snow Says Mr.. Eltman:
1.-The general direction of the glacial
movement was westward and northWard
from Lake Superior. The glaciers cover
ing the Vermillion and Mesaba ranges did
not overrun the Highland range. Hence
the geological conditions on the Highland
range are unfavorable to- the finding Of
iron deposits similar to those on the
Mesaba and Vermillion ranges. Pros
pectors enthuse their imaginations with
the belief that the geological formations
and mineral conditions are identical in the
three ranges.,s

The bridal couple arrived at thes church
door on the hour, III o'clock, and walked
briskly up the aisle and on to the ves-

had made sure that they were the parties
chiefly interested Half an hour later an
other couple arrived and .hurriedly fol-
lowed them. The, bridal party then en-
tered the chancel and the ceremony was
read by Rev. Thomas w. MacLean. The
attendants were l. w. Herbert and Willie

men were in ordinary business attire
and the service was dispatched i'm a
business-like manner utterly devoid of
any atmosphere of sentiment -;
Following the ceremony two or, three
friends joined the newly welded couple
in the study while the certificates were

inclined to slip out quietly by a. side door

lists now have eight missions in the city.
The union has expended $4,000 in the

$4,000, though ten years ago the union
staggered under an Indebtedness of $780,
900. .r.... y. =: s.< :~~.> g..
