JOHN MITCHELL
And Mther Conservative Labor
Leaders Oppose Petition To
President In Miller's
Case.

Washington, Sept. %. The aspect
of the celebrated Miller case has again
shifted, and conservative labor leaders
are attempting TO stem the flood that
was let loose when the Central Labor
union of this city decided to start an
endless chain business in the form Of
petitions to President Roosevelt on the
question of dismissing Miller from
the government service 1t is said
that John Mitchell, president of the
United Mine Worker 8 union, will do
all in his power to counteract the
effects Of the movement. While he
refuses to be quoted for publication,
it is said he sees that such pressure
brought to bear on the president will
simply force the labor unions into
partizan politics, and that such con
dition would be ruinous to organized
labor. Mr.. Mitchell further sees that
it will be necessary for the President
to change his former decision, and
tn g result will be an open fight be-
tween organized labor and the govern
ment and that in such a fight labor
must be necessarily beaten.

Hill, who was police captain upder

recently brought to this city from

GONE WRONG
Reiny, Of the PIaindeaIer, In
Trouble for False Preten.
ses-.Admits His Guilt.

A c. Reinicke, editor of the Grand
Forks Plaindealer, popularity known
as "Reiny,s' was quietly married
September 18th, to Miss Ragna Ada
laide Bergh. the charming daughter
of Colonel Bergh, U. S. consul at
Gothenberg. The marriage was kept
profound secret until day or two
ago, when the matter began to leak
out. Thereupon the young people
fed to Fargo where they could better
enjoy the joke. Here's the best
wishes Of the Inter Ocean that the
married life of the young people may
be as long drawn out as one of
Reiny's bologna sausage editorials,
may have as few jars as his English,
may be as rich in happiness as his
celebrated Anti Boozerine Club is in
morals. Well we wish him almost
every other kind of happiness.

Son Discovered, and Releases
Claim to Fathers Estate.

Fargo, Sept 22.-Iast spring
Mathew Wiley died near Buffalo,
in this county, at the advanced age of
1O2 years. At the time Of his death
it was announced that his only rela-
tive was a niece who had kept house

of Ruth, Ohio, and is n years of age.
He asks for no share of the estate,
but writes that he thought that his
identity should be known in order
that the matter might be legally
closed up. He will be asked to ap-
pear either in person or by an at
torney before final action is taken
in the county court.

STRANGE FREAK
Cali With Two Heads, Eight
Legs and Two Tails.

Doubtless the most remarkable
animal nonstrosity recorded in the
annals this county, is calf born
on the farm Of Helgi Thorlakson fou,
miles southeast of Akra, last Monday.
This wonderful creature has two
heads, one Of which is in the norma
position while the other is turned de-
voutly heavenward. His supply of
legs is equally profuse, he having
eight Four Of these are in the pro-
per place to perform the functions
Providence assigns such members, but
the other four project practically
straight upward from his back. He
likewise has two tails. Thus far the
calf drinks and is doing we'll, but it
is feared that it cannot live, being
contrary to the laws of
nature. Cavalier Chronicle.

NEW
CHURCH

Sunday witnessed the opening for
divine services for the first time Of
the newly erected Episcopal church
at Webster. known as st. Clements.
To show their good will toward this
new enterprise which means much for
the spiritual and moral growth of this
new and enterprising town, the
management of the Farmers rail
road ran an excursion train from
Starkweathe1 to Devils Lake and
return and many availed themselves
of the opportunity to attend the SER
vices-the stone chapel being crowded
to the doors. Rev. o. F. Jones, who
is the priest in charge of this neH
field, conducted the service, assisted
by the surpliced choir, under the
leadership of Prof Ashelman, H. E.
Arnold presiding at the organ.
The sermon was mast erful eff
fort which, while emphasizing the
necessity as we'll as the advantages
of churches in the community,
breathed spirit of liberality and
good will toward any other effort
or efforts for religious upbuilding.
This beautiful stone chapel stands
as a monument to the good will and
hearty cooperation of the residents
of Webster and the neighboring
farmers many of whom contributed
literally in work and material,
even though not as yet affiliated
with the Episcopal church. Espe ia,
credit is due to w. E. Goozee
Wilson Morse and Joseph Stewar,
for their untiring labors as we'll as
liberal donations and to JOSEPH
Kelly and Rasmus Sorenson of the
Farmers road for material donated
and numerous courtesies shown.
A pleasant incident of the after
noon was the serving of light re
freshments by the ladies of tn
church Mrs. Goozee Mrs. Morse ant
Mrs. Smell assisted by kind neigh
bors and friends at the hospitabl
farm home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gooze'
the train making a special run to tn
farm for that purpose.
At some time in the future it il
proposed to finish the church by tn
erection of transcripts and a towe
after which formal dicatory service
will be held by the bishop of Nortl
Dakota.

ALL LOWER EXCEPT OATS
GRAINS HAVE A WEAK SESSION,
WITH SOME CLOSING STRENGTH.
Losses Are Small and Oats Finish
without Change-Heavy Break I'm
January POrk-May Lower.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Trading on the Board
of Trade was rather quiet to-day, but after
an easy opening wheat closed strong. with
May a fraction lower. Corn also was
shade lower, while oats were unchanged.
Provisions were dull and closed steady
from 215c to &c lower.
Wheat was dull and trades were confined
within narrow range. The feature of the
day was the selling OF July and buying OF
May by commission houses supposed TO
have been acting for the leader OF the longs.
The opening was lower. on weak cables and
favorable weather throughout the winter
wheat belt, May being Aq2sc to l2dssc low
er, at a to 77i4c. There some selling
early by discouraged longs at &c. the low
point, but later a better support developed
on buying by commission houses and COW
ering by shorts. and the market became
quite strong. May selling up to 77s4c. The
close was firm, with May shade lower, at
771sc. A fair export demand was a strength
ening factor late in the day. Clearances Of
wheat and -four were equal to $4,000 bu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 blu, compared
with $4,000 year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 329 cars, which,
with local receipts of % cars, none of con-
trdct made total or 352 cars, against 4ff
last week and 32S year ago.
Corn was quiet, and after little weak
ness on the early depression in wheat a
firmer feeling developed, offerings being
light. A good cash demand and no i'm
provement in the situation We're bull
factors. The principal buying was by COM
mission houses. The close was firm, with
May shade lower at 44a4Q4i7sc. after SELL
ing between 44ssQ44s4c and 45c. Receipts
were 2S6 cars, none of contract grade.
Oats were also neglected, but in the alb
sence of any strong pressure prices ruled
firm. Cash demand continued good and re-
ceipts were rather light 215 cars being re-
ceived here. The close was steady. with
May unchanged at 36Ac. after ranging be-
| tween 36lsqS61zc and $3.50.
Provisions were dull and prices held
barely steady. There was no important
trade either one way or the other. Late in
| of January pork which yesterday sold at
$40. the support heretofore given that COM
| modify by leading interest having been
Withdrawn, and a drop to SIG. 40 took place,
with the close at the low point. The de-
| cline in January lard was also heavy,
amounting to 421kc. May pork closed 21zc
lower. at $16.521t; lard was of sc. at s9.37l1.
and ribs were down 21kQ6c, at 50. 1219
