J.F. Mead on Dakota RANGES.

The Chicago Stock World, in a recent
issue, published the following interview
with j. +. Mead which will be read with
interest in Randolph.
~. F. Mead OF Dickinson, N. D., was
here yesterday with band of fat wethers
good enough to justify an exporter paying
3. 65, although he would have made them
better but for the screening combine,
which wanted s14 ton for screenings.
"'We are in good shape out in North
Dakota, said Mr.. Mead. Our principal
handicap is a rapidly increasing influx
OF Russians, who are spreading all over
the range. They are not likely to make
desirable citizens, adhering rigidly to their
own customs and resisting the assimila-
tion process. They ride the range con-
stantly, locating water holes and writing
for their relatives to come across the
Atlantic and locate. By this process we
have lost much valuable range and the
operations OF the cattlemen have been
seriously crippled.
"'We had a cold, wet season. / have
never known grass to remain green as late
in the season. 1t had not cured when
frost came and is undoubtedly damaged,
but how badly we cannot tell until later
in the season.
Financially, North Dakota cattlemen
are in satisfactory shape. We bought
few southern cattle this year and do not
believe there will be an urgent demand for
many next spring, as none Of us have
much confidence in the future OF the cattle
market. Few shipments of range cattle
from our section showed a profit, while
quite few were marketed at a loss, but
no one know OF was badly hurt. The
Russian influx is giving us more annoy
ance than markets.
IA large number of stock sheep have
gone onto the North Dakota range this
year. We bought large number, but
do not believe they will make us much
money. 1t is true the range has been
given a cleaning up, but that is an annual
performance and each succeeding year
witnesses a marketward rush heavier than
the preceding one. The man who intends
raising live stock wants to get out OF his
head the idea that scarcity is likely.
"'Ample preparation has been made
all over the North Dakota range for
hard winter. We are putting up larger
hay stacks each year and more of them;
in fact, hay is getting to be an important
crop, the ranchmen realizing the folly OF
attempting to get through the winter
without il.

New England Nectar.

There are sounds Of busting labor
On the banks Of rushing brooks,
Hum and din Of manufacture
In the most sequestered hooks.
Pohd'rous presses force the apple
To yield up its luscious Juice
For beverage that rivals
Any nectar drank by Zeus.
All that amber food Of sweetness,
When II trickles through a straw
Who would guess its regulation
Needs 20 come beneath the law
Who would fancy that barrel
IL would be all right 20 buy,
While it's dangerous for jugful
To be vended on the sly?
Since in quantities It's safer,
Then give Socrates the laugh
And this most delicious poison
In no stinted measure quaf.

JURY FINDS JETT
GUILTY OF MURDER
After a Tedious Trial of Eigh,
Days the Final Verdict
Is Reached.
PUNISHMENT TO BE DEATH
If Motion for New Trial Is Overrules
5ett's Attorneys Will Probably
Take Case to Court of APP
peals at Frankfort, Ky.

Cynthiana, KY, Sept. 24.--After a
trial lasting eight days the jury in the
case of Curtis Jett, charged with the
murder of Town Marshal Thomas
Cockrell at jackson, KY, July 81, 1902
rendered verdict of guilty, and fixed
the punishment at death.
The jury retired at 244 p. m. When
the jury entered the court rooms at $40
p. M, after agreeing on verdict, quiet
re1gned for a few moments, Jetts
mother had gone away earlier under the
impression that no verdict would be
: reached, and the verdict Of death COM
ing about two hours after the jury was
out was a surprise to everyone in the
court room. The reading of the ver-
dict cid not affect Jett, but his brother
was very much distressed. His mouth
quivered and he slowly turned pale.
Just previous to the jury reaching an
agreement Judge Osborne, thinking
that they would not reach a verdict,
sent for them, intending to call off the
session for the rest of the day. But
the jury sent back word that an agree
ment had been reached and that it
would be ready to report a finding to
the court within five minutes.
| Elijah Mckinney served as foreman
of the jury, and after the delivering of
the verdict to the court the jury was
polled.
The death sentence was them read to
Jett by Clark Z. J. Robinson, after
| which the prisoner was given over to
the custody Of the deputy sheriffs.
/ MIR. Blandon, Jett's lawyer, will file a
motion for new trial, and if the mo-
! ton is overruled he will appeal the
! case to the court of appeals at Frank
fort, Ky.
! This has been the second trial of
Curtis Jett on the charge of murder. In
4 his first trial for the murder of j. B.
4 Marcum at Jackson, KY. Jett and
/ Thomas White were sentenced to life
/ Imprisonment.
The jurors agreed among themselves
not to divulge the proceedings in the
jury room. One juror, however, stated
+! that in four ballots eleven jurors voted
for the death penalty and one for a life
sentence. On the fifth ballot all were
L for the death penalty.

CARDINAL GIBBONS HOME
Enthusiastically Received on Arrival in
New York-iias a Pleasant Voyage.

New York, Sept. 24.-Cardinal Glib.
sons arrived here today from Rome or
the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Crosse and
was enthusiastically welcomed by
large delegation Of priests and laymen
from Baltimore, and ecclesiastical and
personal friends from this city. He
will remain in New York until Friday,
when he will go to Baltimore.
The cardinal had a pleasant voyage
and said the ocean trip had recuper-
ated his strength, which had been
greatly taxed by the severe spell of
fever he suffered. due to the intense
heat in Rome during the conciave.
OF the new pontiff the cardinal spoke
In terms of the greatest enthusiasm
He said the choice had been most hap
py from the American viewpoint, as
Plus x. was deeply interested in the
development Of the church in this coun-
try and was singularly familiar with
American institutions. The cardinal
was not inclined to discuss the prob
able policy of new papal regime, but
said no radical changes in American
church administration would ensue. He
said one of the first steps taken by Plus
x. was to instruct his acting secretary
of state Mgr. Merry-Del-Val, to pro-
vide for an extensive exhibit of vatican
treasures at the ST. Louis exposition.
He said the exhibit would probably
comprise some of the magnificent jubi-
lee gifts of the late pontiff and num-
Der of rare historical manuscripts and
maps from the vatican library, relating
to the early settlement and mission
work in the Louisianan purchase terri
tory, most of which was penetrated by
Catholic missionaries within a quarter
Of a century of the discovery of the
continent.

HE ROASTED THE H4OO.'
Bronson Howard Says Its Women Are
Drunken Lot.

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 24.-Bronson
Howard, the dramatist, holds the Wom-
en- of New York's 400" in bitter con-
tempt He believes their escapades are
responsible for the bad name the wom-
en- of New York are receiving all over
the world.
Mr. Howard, who is here on visit,
was asked if it We're true that the drink
habit is making slaves of New York
women. He replied:
1.-The social set of New York, known
over the world as the AGO. is an ex-
tremely fast set. The members of 1t
drink much wine and daily we hear
stories in New York of some woman
who is a recognized member of this
set, having become intoxicated at one
of the many dinner functions given un-
der it's auspices and having made her
self ridiculous or committed some act
that afterwards becomes notorious
while under the influence of wine. They
are not all true, but believe in speak
ing of that certain class, it might
truthfully be said that the drink habit
is increasing.
1.-THE 400 does not, however, intlu-
ence the manners or customs OF society
in any part of the country to the least
degree. 1t is looked upon more as g
curiosity than a body of people whose
antics or manner Of living should be
initiated. BY their fast living the mem
bers of the '400,' and particularly Wom-
en- members, have divorced themselves
from New York society and have beer
ignored by the more genteel, refined
and temperate element

senting the Mrs. C. M. Schwab school
building to this town today Charles M.

from behind the counter of a village
store and in time made him the presi-
dent Of the greatest corporation in the
world.
The public schools, said Mr.. Schwab,
constitute the nucleus from which all
of Americas Industrial greatness has
sprung. With this thought in mind,
he said that he intended to do all he
could to Increase their number and
power.
In concluding Mr. Schwab said that
he desired to call attention to the fact
hat the town of Wcatherly had at one.
time been the home of family that is
playing an important part in the coun-
try's industrial development. He re-
ferred to the Dinkey family, of which
mis- wife is a member. A. c.. Dinkey is
president of the Carnegie steel works
and G. E. Dinkey occupies the same
position with the Edgar Thompson
steel works at Braddock, Pa Mrs M.
e. kinsey who was Mrs. Dinkey and
who is the mother of these men, was
present at the dedication.

Turns Up With Contestina Dele
cation at Kansas Cjty,

Kansas City. Sept 23.-Before the In
terna tiOnal Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers convention met in annual
session here today, Sam Parks Of New
York said:
Il have come here for the purpose OF
making the fight of my life for labor,
and 1 honestly believe it is necessary
to make such fight. 1t seems some
are fighting against the rights of labor
instead of for them. The delegates
from local union, No. O. from New York
city, are going into this convention.
President Buchanan has no power to
suspend local union, No. 2, and we will
go into this convention without him
irance."
President Buchanan was reticent in
talking about the Parks delegates.
When asked about a possible fight in
the convention he said merely:
Il do not believe we will need police
protection
President Buchanan called the con-
vention to order and introduced Mayor
James A. Reed, who extended the city's
welcome.
When John Smith of Kansas City had
| finished his response on behalf of the
convention, Samuel Parks jumped to

aring of organized labor or as a public
meeting. Without waiting for an an

general way some of those present.
There were some in the hail. he said,

removed. There were murmurs of dis
approval throughout the room and
President Buchanan interrupted Parks

Miss Olive Rayl of Cleveland Meets
Mysterious Death.


Cleveland, O., Sept. 24.--The badly
mutilated body OF Miss Olive Rayl,
aged 22, was found early today lying
across the Lake Shore railway track
at the entrance to Gordon park.
Investigation by the police developed
that the girl mad been murdered and
the body placed on the track. where
train had cut it in two. Miss Rayl
lived with her brother, DR.. w. l.. Rayl,
in Glenville, suburb. She was hand
some and highly respected. The case
is strouded in mystery.
In the roadway near where the body
was found the police discovered the
fresh tracks of a rubber-tired buggy,
also the footprints of two persons, one
being that Of a woman. The other was
the heavy imprint of a mans shoe. In
the bushes short distance from where
the girls body lay was found a mans
plain linen handkerchief. 1t was sat
urated with blood and bore the initials
u. d. The throat of the dead girl
was discolored as though she had been
choked. Her body had been most ter
ribly mangled by the train. 1t was cut

ODELL ON CITIZENS DUTY
New York Executive Addresses Farm
ers' National Congress.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Sept. 24.-At to-
days session of the Farmers National
congress, Governor Ode-l of New York
delivered an address.
Governor Odell after few predatory
words, said: The recognition which
has been given by the national and
state governments to the farming in
terests of our country might at first
glance appear to be in the direction of
paternalism, yet it is as important in
it's effect as any legislation which can
be enacted for the benefits of the peo-
pie as a whole. 1t is as much the duty
of the government to aid in the devel
opment of the soil of the country as it
is to protect its artisans against I'M
just discrimination or unfair competi-
ton at home or abroad, to aid in pro-
noting the material welfare of it's citi-
zens as it is to stamp out disease or
epidemic which may threaten the lives
of individuals. This encouragement
which the government extends does
not lead to dependent spirit, but
rather makes our citizenship more self
reliant and more patriotic.s'
The governor discussed the qualities
that go to make up good citizens, say
ing one of the first duties of our coun-
try is to fight ceaSelesSly and energet-
ically against all citizens who defy the
law and whose principles are a menace
= TO SOC1ely.
Governor Odell entered plea in be-
half Of politicians and public officers
whose efforts are directed to the peo-
pies good and protected them against
carping criticism and the assumption
that because a man is politician he
is necessarily dishonest. In conclusion
he said:
"It is your duty 70 use your infiu-
ence and your power to better condi-
tions and win back to useful member
ship by force of example, those whose
environment has not been such as to
make Of them good citizens; use the
power you possess, in the halls of legis-
lation, to correct abuses which may
exist; and to aid in the fight which is
being made against philanthropic and
benevolent people against disease and
crime, among those to whom Gods
bright sunlight is almost unknown; tc
aid those who do not enjoy the ad-
vantages necessary to give to them
that conception of what liberty in oul
country means, that understanding sc
essential to good citizenship

CLIQUE or AssAsslNs.
The Government of Servia Said to Be
in Hands Of Conspiracx.


London, Sept. 23.-The Times corre-
spondent at Belgrade sends a review Of
the situation in Servia in which he says
the military conspiracy at Nish directs
ed against the regicides is far graver
than the government dare acknowledge.
OF total of 1,600 officers, 1000 are said
to be concerned in it, and probably the
bulk of the nation secretly SYM
pathizes with them.
The clique of assassins however,
hold all the chief civil and military Of
fees, the keys of the arsenal and the
treasury, and anyone crossing their
path is doomed. The king is surround
ed and under the rule of the assassirs
and many doubt if he will ever shake
himself free.
Minister Gentchiech, in whose house
the regicide plot was Matched, and who
conducted the secret negotiations with
King Peter, is alleged to possess an in
| eliminating letter which is kept hang
| ing over the royal head.
Lately, however, the regicides are be-
ginning to realize that they have gone
too far and must moderate their atti-
tude. sa
The elections are anticipated with
| considerable interest.

4 Week or Two More Of Good Weathe

Washington. Sept. 24.-The weathe,
bureaus weekly summary Of crop con,
ditions follows:
While the week has been abnormallJ
cool with general frosts throughout the
central valleys, and as far south as the
northern portion Of the central gull
states, the damage has not been ser.
ious except in the extreme western por.
ton OF Kansas and Nebraska, the Da,
kotas Minnesota, Wisconsin and New
England. The south Atlantic states
have suffered from excessive moisture,
while the heavy rains Of the previous
week over the northern portions Of the
Missouri and upper Missouri valleys
delayed threshing spring wheat and
caused grain in shock to sprout
Drought has been largely relieved in
the east gulf states, but continues il
the Ohio valley, Tennessee and the
central and west gulf states. The Pa
cific coast states have experienced 3
very favorable week.
Notwithstanding the occurrence OF
light to heavy frosts generally through
out the corn belt the corn crop has es-
capped injury except in the western por-
tfons of Kansas and Nebraska, and in
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin;
while the low temperatures have pre-
vented rapid ripening, especially over
the western districts, the crop as a
whole has advanced favorably. AL
though late planted corn in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee has suffered from
| drought, large part of the crop is
now safe, but the bulk of unmatured
