DREW TWO SALARIES
Castle Resigned Largely on Ac-
count of Beavers.

Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 2O.-It
developed today that George w.
Beavers during the administration Of
Postmaster GenaraI Smith drew for
some time two salaries from the gov
ernment in violation of law. This
fact will be brought out in the forth
coming report of Fourth Assistant
Bristow, and in all probability it will
be made to appear that the discovery
of this xirregularity was one of the
things that caused Auditor Castle to
resign.
Beavers received two salaries from
the postofice department for almost a
year. 1t occurred in 1898 when Charles
Emory Smith and Perry S. Heath were
running postal affairs. 1t is declared
that both of these officials knew of the
second salary that the Brooklyn man
was receiving, and that at least one of
them signed an order by which the ex-
ira money was paid. The order was
on Postmaster Cornelius Vancott, of
New York, and the money came out Of
the fund for the city delivery service.
Beavers was getting $1,000 yearly as
chief of the division of salaries and
allowances. He suggested that he do
special work investigating overtime
claims of carriers and draw 800 a
month. This was agreed to, and from
July, 1898 to 1899, Beavers received
the two salaries.

M. D. Grover, w. B. Dean, Peter Sims
and party of eighteen business and
commercial men of st. Paul, headed
by j. w. Cooper, Congressman F. C.
Stevens and others, arrived this after
noon. They were given typical North
Dakota welcome, and Mr.. Hills recep-
tion was cordial in the extreme. He
was introduced to his audience at the
Atheneum by Gov. White, and held
it's close attention throughout his ad-
dress. Following his address he and
the members of his party were dined
at an old fashioned barbecue, where
hot roast beef sandwiches and cider
were served by corps of young Ia

CONGRESS is CALLED
President Issues Proclamation
for Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2O.-The
president today issued the following
proclamation:
"By the President of the United States Of
America: A Proclamation.
Whereas, By a resolution Of the senate
of March 10, 1903, the approval by con-
gress of the reciprocal commercial con-
the republic of Cuba, signed at Havana
on Dec. IL. 1902, is necessary before the
said convention shall take effect; and
Whereas, 1t is important to the public
interests of the United States that the
said convention shall become operative as
early as may be;
NOW, therefore l. Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States Of America,
by virtue of the power vested in me by the
constitution, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare that an extraordinary occasion re-
quires the conyening OF both houses Of the
congress of the United States at their re-
spective chambers In the city of Washing

WILL NOT HELP
Pension Office Promotions Viii
Be Made on Merit.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20-About
forty clerks employed in the pension
office today received promotions. After
the announcements were made, Com
missioner Ware told them that they
had been promoted on their respective
records and upon the recommendation
of their superiors in office only. He
advised the clerks to seek the recon-
mendations of only their chiefs and
added that any recommendation for
the advancement of an employe put
in by an outsider and with the knowl-
edge of the employe would have the
effect of disbarring the employe from
advancement, and a repetition of the
offense would have the effect of secur-
ing his removal. He stated that he
had recently been compelled to tell
clerk that if he did not stop steering
statesmen up against him he would be
compelled to dismiss him. Il am de-
termined," he said, that promotions
shall be on merit only and not because
this person may be the brother-in-law
of a governor or the nephew of a SEN
ator. No man can be loaded on to the
office because he cannot make a living
on the outside"
He concluded by saying that there
are more apples on the same tree, but
that they would not be shaken into
the laps of those who had not earned
them"

WILLIAMSTOWN,M Mass, Oct. 20
In less than eighteen months after
matrimonial bureau had supplied him
with a Williamstown woman for a
wife, F. S. Stanchfield, of Hibbing,
Mimi, is seeking. through the aid of
Byron F. Hall, to avoid the decree of
the court awarding the woman ali
mony. He writes that he will never be
able to pay the alimony; that the wom-
an claims to be the divorced wife of
Hall, and that she says he had Hall
placed in Jail because he would not
pay alimony. He asks for information
on this point, and also as to his former
wife, of whom he knew nothing except
the matrimonial recommendation.
Hall was compelled to spend some
time in jail when the woman divorced
him several years ago, being unable to
meet the alimony.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The Rev.
Charles H. Parkhurst today sent the
following open letter to Mr.. Dowie:
Il do not want to be presuning, but
doubt If it is any more presumptive in
me to come and try to clarity you than
it is for you to come and try to clarity
New York and L don't know which of
us has taken the heavier contract
'T attended your service at Madison
Square garden last evening and I went
determined to enjoy it if 1 could and
to be benefited by 1T and to go away
and refute some of the charges that
had heard alleged against you.
But it was of no use; your behav-
ior on the p1atfornf crushed every
throb of sympathy 1 had with you. I
never heard from public speaker such
discharge of efferyescent wrath and
coarse inVectiye.
81 went to hear you preach the Cos
pei, and you preached Dowie, Zion
City, stink pot / was ashamed of
you and almost ashamed to be in your
audience. 1t was long way below
the standard even of the circuses that
I have attended in the same garden.
"The only consolation could derive
was that it was so abominable and so
far beyond the bounds of the respect
able that even those in your congrega-
ton who did not know what Chris
tianfty is would have no idea that it
had anything to do with what you were
saying.
"Of course, the ridiculousness of the
performance was only enhanced by the
immensity of your pretensions. If you
claimed to be only an ordinary man
there might be some hope for you, even
with what you call the 'rabble,' but the
rabble is discriminating and can dis
crininate as keenly as the keenest be-
tween prophet and juggler, be-
tween an Elijah and mountebank.
81 say this in no spirit of anger, but
either your head is twisted or your
heart infected, or you have blundered
badly in your method. You cannot
bully people into Zionism, nor black
guard them into the Kingdom of heav-
en-. I hope you will take this in the
kindly spirit in which it is offered, and
that it will be blessed to you"

rns FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Met This Morning and Went into Ten
porary Organization.


The Farmers Institute met at the
court house this morning. a good rep
resentation of farmers and some of
our townsmen being present.
Prof j. H. Connell was introduced
to the audience by Sidney Suggs,
and made a very interesting talk. He
spoke of the advantages to be derived
on the farm, and how the farmers
could better their condition If they
would diversity their crops more. Mr.
Connell has been an instructor in this
kind OF work for a great many yea
and he was greatly in hope that every
farmer in this country would study
their interests well, and by co-oper6
tion, he thought, they would be great
ly benefited.
They went into temporary organiza-
ton by selecting Sidney Suggs as
temporary chairman and Felix ]. King
as temporary secretary.
II. NJ Furman moved that the
chairman and secretary be empower
ed to appoint a committee on program
and urged everyone present. when
they went out to dinner to bring every
one they could after dinner. MIR.
Furman said that we we're all depend
ent upon the farmer. and everyone
should take a deep interest in the
agricultural element of this country.
j. r. Young made a few remarks
which were sensible and to the point
He thought we should urg9 the land
owners, as much as possible to be pres
ent at the Institute, for upon their
future actions, developed, to a great
extent. the future of this country. Mr..
Young said that great many Mis-
sissippi Choctaw Indians were being
located amongst us, that they never
did do any work, never would work,
and made mighty poor citizens.
furthermore, Mr.. Young said. great
deal of our land was being disposed
OF to people who hve at a distance
from Ardmore, and who care nothing
for this countrys welfare, further
than to get the most possible money
out of their investments They had
as soon put Bohemlans, or some other
class of people here, who would work
for 25 or 80 cents per day; anybody
would suit them that would pay the
the most money. Mr.. Young said the
Choctaw Freedman was scattering all
over this country, contrary to tn ex-
pectations of many who though they
would centralize.
