A Record Breaker.-A. d. Cordner
is one of Burleigh county's Oldest and
most successful farmers. He was in
the city today and declares that the
storm of Saturday and the cold snap
accompanying it breaks the record in
this country. We have had snow and
sleet storms in October, but never
have had such fall weather as dur
ing the last two weeks on the Missouri
slope. OF course grain is damaged,
even where we'll stacked, and lot of
corn that would have made splendid
crop week hence under ordinary
weather. is cut short. However, Mr..
Cordner says we have to take the bad
with the good and he notices that
storms and disaster have covered much
of the globe during the last year. We
are as we'll off as others.

RoGER MOVEMENT SPREADING.
Situation In Province of Kwang 81 Is
Serious.

Victoria, B. C.-The recrudesence OF
the rebellion In Kwang 81 is causing a
lamentable state Of affairs in that
province, according to mail advices re-
ceived from China. Lung Chou, a
prominent walled city of Kwang, was
being besieged By the rebels when the
last advices were dispatched. Nan
Ming, on the West river, was surround
ed by rebels, who sent messengers to
the governor calling him to fight them.
These rebels looted steamer sent to
Nan Ming with provisions and money
for the governor of that city.
The province is not only suffering
by reason of the depredations OF the
rebels, but also by the Imperial troops,
who, when they have dispersed the
insurgents, ravage the countryside.
The "braves," eager for loot and the
opportunity to display the heads OF
rebels slain in battle, make no distinc-
ton between rebels and loyal inhabit-
ants. Crops are destroyed, accompan.
led by indiscriminate pillaging and
acts of savagery. AS a result, instead
Of contracting, the sphere of the rebel
lion is growing more widespread.

NEITHER PARTY is SINCERE.
Senator Morgan of Alabama on the
Trust Question.

ashington.-Senator John 7. Nor
gan of Alabama is disguised with the
trust situation as it is presented in
congress and by the politicians of the
country. Senator Morgan is the second
oldest senator in the upper legislative
body. In Alabama he is a political
oracle. Throughout the South he
ranks among the foremost statesmen
in the country. In the senate he has
the confidence and respect OF his col
leagues. He has been a member OF the
United States senate for twenty-five
years and has taken a conspicuous
part in all important legislation OF his
time. In an interview Senator Nor
gan thus expressed himself:
81 cannot see that there is any great
difference between the leaders of the
Democratic and Republican parties on
the question Of trusts. Whichever
party is out Of power cries out against
the octopus. whichever party is In
power hugs the octopus to its breast
Political utilization seems to be nc
shield against the glitter Of great
wealth. The strength corporate
wealth has attained in the United
States is calculated to fill one with
awe. The president and congress are
as pigmies beside it. 1t Is feared BY
the leaders Of both parties. The poi
has no ground upon which to criticise
the kettles blackness. Democrats and
Republicans alike on the stump rave
and shout and profess eagerness to en-
gage in mortal combat with the giant
They come to congress or assume ex
ecutive office and their limbs are par
alyzed and their tongues silenced.
"Seldom if ever has a question oil
such overwhelming importance ariser
in our economic development 1t Is
pressing for solution and it will be
solved. The Republican party may
solve 1t or the Democratic party may
solve it. 1t may be that If no solution
is found a new party will arise on the
ruins of the old ones. The solution
NAV come soon or it may be long de
layed. II depends on how speedily the
American people awaken to their peril
I am inclined to believe there will bt
dark days before the awakening comes
days full Of want and suffering anc
disaster. My belief also Is that out o.
the demand for a solution OF thi:
question will be wrought a politica
revolution that will shake presen
party organization at its base, perhaps
wipe it out"

DIGS UP BONES OF GIANTS.
Indiana Farmer Finds Skeleton of Men
Eiqht Feet Tall.

La Grange, Ind.-A prehistoric
graveyard has been unearthed on the
farm of Solomon Hedrlck in Henry
county. A large number Of human
skeletons have been found, and all are
eight feet and more in height. Hedrick
bought the farm some years ago, and
covering four acres was a mound
thirty feet high, resembling a loaf OF
bread. The mound was built of gravel
and sand, although the surrounding
land is low and shows no trace OF
either gravel or sand. A roadway
twenty feet in width led up to the top
Of the mound. When about twelve feet
of the surface had been removed the
skeletons were found. The bones are
large in size and the teeth are highly
polished and well preserved. Trinkets,
ivory beads, a shield made Of bone,
and other articles were found in the
graves. Hedrlck will dig up the en-
tire field in the hope of finding valu-
able articles.

the United States government, being
gifts received by Mrs. Grant from var
ious governments during her hus'

FREMoNT's WIDOW is DEAD.
The End Came to Senator Benton's
Daughter in California.

! Los Angeles, Cal.-Mrs. Jessie Ben
ton Fremont, widow Of General Ere
mont, is dead at her home in this city.
Mrs. Fremont was the daughter OF
Missouri's illustrious son, Thomas H.
Benton, and widow of General John G.
Fremont, the pathfinder" of the '40s
Of the recent century, a leader in the
conquest of California in 1916, the Re.
publican party's first candidate for the
presidency, and commander of the de.
partment of the West early in the civil
war. Born in Virginia in 1924, Mrs
Fremont was in her 10th year, and
though a fall has physically invalided
her for the past three years, her mind
has continued as clear and active as 1t
was half a century ago, when she
was central figure in society at the
national capital.
The marriage in 1s41 Of the dashing,
ambitious and intrepid Lieutenant Ere
mont to the beautiful, brilliant and
popular Jessie Benton, the 17-year-old
daughter of Missouri's senior senator
and leader Of the Jacksonian element
Of the national Democracy, as dis

was an event which attracted almost
as much attention throughout the
country as did the contest then under
way between Tyler and the Wing
party, which elected him vice presi-
dent on the ticket with Harrison, and
who went to the presidency on Harri-
sons death. The marriage advanced
Fremonts fortunes, professionally and
politically. 1t assisted in getting the
young officer the assignments for the
exploration of the Rocky mountain
region and the Pacific coast, for which
his talents and ambition conspicuously
fitted him, which gained him reputa-
ton throughout the world as the
pathfinder of the Western wilder
ness" and helped to get him the presi-
Dental candidacy subsequently.

BAKED BEANS IN CAMP LIFE.
They Take Lots of Time and Trouble
But Are Well Worth Both.

Being cooked in bean hole doesn't
have anything to do with the fine quail
ity Of the baked beans you get in the
woods" said Frank Brown, the veter-
an camp cook of the Maine forests.
Anybody can have just as nice baked
beans as he can find in the camps il
he will take the pains to cook them the
way we do 1t.
1.-THE real soul of baked beans Is fat,
salt pork and plenty Of it. I've tried
beans that were baked in butter and in
cOttonseed oil, and both will keep a
hungry man from starving, but Pm
real glad that my religion will let me
eat pork fat, and If it ever comes to a
point where I've got to give up one or
the other, I'll let the religion slide and
hang onto the pork.
PLENTY Of pork and plenty Of time
In the cooking will make any kind Of
beans fit to eat. Make ready a big
iron pot with an iron cover that fits
close, and fill the pot half way up with
strips of salt pork, taking care that no
lean strips get in and throwing away
all the bones.
"Then wash the beans and let them
soak in the water until their coats be-
gin to wrinkle. When they are show
ing signs of swelling pour them in the
pot on top of the fat pork, drop in a
peeled onion, gill of mustard seed
and pint of black molasses, and SOL
der on the lid with cement or wet clay.
after this put the pot In a slow
oven or in the ground among hardwood
Goals, and don't go near it again for
two days and two nights. You hear
the women tell about filling up the
bean pot with warm water now and
then so the beans won't stick to the
sides. That's all rot.
when there Is pork fat enough in
side the pot, there's no need Of filling
up with anything. The water Is what
spoils the cooking.
After baking for forty-eight hours
the bean pot should be removed from
the fire and carried to the table and
the beans poured directly from the
pot to plates Of those who are to do
the eating. II you try to dip the beans
out with a spoon you are sure to mash
them. and mashed beans are about the
worst things for one to eat."-NeW
York Sun.

coRTELYoU MAY NOT GET 1T.
William Lorimer Says Illinois VIII
Have the Secretary of Commerce.

Chicago.-"The new place in Presi.

by the bill for a department of com,
MERGE now pending in congress, for
which Mr.. Cortelyou was said to be
slated, will be filled, l believe, by an
Illinois man." said William Lorimer
Saturday mo, | am not ready to say
who | think will be the man, but he
will be one who is well known. He will
probably be Cook county man, but
there is a chance that he may come
from out in the state. 1t is not Upham
and it is not Cream Stewart. Mr.
Stewart has been mentioned for the
place, | know, but he is candidate
for mayor now, which puts him out OF
consideration. John NJ. Smyth would
not consider such an appointment
could not afford to on account of his
business. But it will probably be a
Cook county man.
Iowa has two cabinet members in
Shaw and Wilson, Wisconsin has one
in Postmaster General Payne, Ohio
one in Secretary Hay, Pennsylvania is
represented by Attorney General
Knox New York by Secretary Root
and Massachusetts, by Secretary
Moody. Why should not Illinois have
one?"

friends to be the man upon whom the
Illinois delegation in congress will fin.
