BREACH OF PROMISE
SUIT FAILED TO WIN

New York, Nov. I7.-The jury in the
supreme court which has been hearing
the suit brought by Miss Idalin Cameron
Hayes for $4,000 damages for alleged
breach of promise against Henry Clay
Sayres, of Waynesburg, Pa, returned a
verdict in favor of the defendant.
The case has been causing considerable
attention, inasmuch as the defendant is
65 and has wife living, while the
plaintiff is but 28.
Miss Hayes was tea demonstration
when she met "Hen" Sayres at the Way
nesburg County fair in 1897. They be-
came friendly and remained SO for four
years.
During the trial a number of the
warmest kind of love avowals in the
form of letters from "Hen" to Sweet
Ida" were read. 1t was testified by the
defendants friends and relatives that
Miss Ida knew he was married Miss
Hayes, her mother, and Miss Elizabeth
Rodney, a close friend, fatty contradicted
this.

WHITE MAY HEAD THE
BOARD OF CONTROL

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 17.-Governor
White is receiving the reports of various
state officials and institutions and pre-
pairing his message to the legislature as
retiring governor. A good showing will
be made in the fiscal affairs of the state.
General Prosperity has shown his handi-
work in the state, and the increase in
the taxable valuation has put the state
treasury in better condition than it has
been for years. Governor White will re-
move to his old home in Valley City up
on the inauguration of the new governor.
1t is likely that, in case board-of-con-
troll bill passes the next legislature, his
name will be considered as one of those
best suited to membership upon it.

ROOSEVELT FAMILY WAS
EXPOSED TO SMALLPOX

Washington, Nov. 17.-Occupants of
the White House were thrown into a
state of worry today when it became
known that President Roosevelt and his
family and all the attaches of the execu-
tive mansion who come into daily CON-
tact with Mr.. Roosevelt, have been ex-
posed to malignant case of smallpox.
Notwithstanding the seeming danger. the
president regarded the matter lightly and
declined to become frightened.
Commissioner of Corporations Garfield
is the medium through which the presL-
dent is open to an attack of the disease.
The case originated in Mr.. Garfeld's
Office. Before the man suffering with it
was isolated at the local hospital, Mr..
Garfield was in frequent personal COM
munication with him. Later the comniis-
sloner talked and shook hands with the
president several times.

NOT A SUCCESS.

East Grand Forks, MINI. Nov. ~ An
inmate of one of the houses in the red
light district attempted to kill herself by
taking a dose of carbolic acid Monday
night and she was saved only after
strenuous efforts on the part of two ply
sicians. The woman purchased two
ounces of carbolic acid, but swallowed
only small portion of it, and, it is
stated, is now fully recovered. One re-
port is that she had quarrel with her
sweetheart and in trying to frighten him
swallowed little of the acid. The af-
fair created quite sensation in the red
light district

GREAT NOR HERN MAY
EXTEND ELL LENDALE LINE

Glendale, N D., Nov. I7.- Much in
terest is taken in the visit here last
Friday night of James Hill. jr., General
Manager Ward, and the general freight
agent of the Great Northern Railway.
About thirty business men waited
upon them in their private car and tile
officers granted the request of the citf-
zefls to move the depot Of the Great
Northern to more convenient point
in the city limits. The managing Off
Gers left here Saturday morning for
an automobile trip west to the Mis-
souri, and thence north to Minot, their
car returning to- Wahpetofl.
It is readily conjectured from all
that is CLEANED that the line from here
will be extended west to the Missouri
in the spring to make connections
with the Minot- Sioux City Line that
the Great Northern is now building
along the Missouri River, being finish
ed now for eighty miles south Of MI
not.
Eilendale IS promised The head Of j
division and the line that has So long
been legally patented to cross the Mis-
souri, at Fort Yates and has been oper-
ated at loss, soon will be one Of the
most important traffic lines Of the sys-
tenn. S.
The officers wefe highly pleased with
The development of this section of the
state.

Grand Forks, N D.. Nov. 1.-THE
board of county commissioners, sitting
as a canvassing board. finished the work
of canvassing the vote cast at the recent
election, yesterday afternoon. -
The official canvass shows that the
Roosevelt electors received 2,8o7 votes
against 82o for the Parker electors, 146
for the socialist electors, 62 for the pro-
hibitionists and 10 for the populists.
L. F. Dow, socialist, and A. G. Burr,
democratic, candidates for congress, re-
ceived increased votes in the country,
from the fact that Mr.. Dow lives here
and MIR. Burr did live here until few
years ago, and this recognition of home
folks resulted in a falling off in the
vote of the republican nominees. The

EXPRESSION OF BRITISH
OFFICIALS ANGER RUSSIANS

ST Petersburg, Nov. The re-
sentiment produced by the speeches Of
the British ministers on the North Sea
incident, especially the assumption that
Russian has agreed to punish the off
Gers of the Russian squadron in adj
vance Of any findings Of the commits
sion, has been further inhamed by the
speech Of Lord Selborne, first lord oi
the admiralty, Nov. IA, at Bristol, on
the danger of Russian invasion OF
India. The Novoe Vrernya, while phil
osophically disposed to hold the Brit
ish jingoes responsible for this CON
stant provocative attitude calling at
tention particularly to Viceroy Cur
IONS and Lord Kitchencr's deputa-
tions to Persia and Afghanistan and
disclaining any desire on the part oi
Russian to engage in fight, says that
nevertheless Russia always has i
chance for evening up British super
iority at sea BY move in the direction
of India and therefore naturally it Is
al great comfort to Russia that she
has direct rail communication with
Tashkend.
The Novosti ON the contrary makes
light Of the ghost Of Russian irlva-
sion of India which British statesmen
are constantly treating out for the
benefit Of the British public and sug-
gests that it would be better for Greal
Britain to make sincere overtures to
Russia regarding the Indian border III
stead Of taking refuge behind Afghan
- fat.

and he sent an officer to investigate. A

IS NOT FOR
M'CLEARY
MINNESOTA MAN WILL
NOT GET GUARDIANSHIP
There Seems to Be Little Possibility
of His Advancement on the Conn
mittee Even If There Is a Vacancy
Lack of Tact Alleged.

Washington, D. c., Nov. I7-Members
of congress are gradually returning to
this city to look after department mat
tiers and to get ready for the coming
session. There has been considerable
speculation concerning who will be man,
cd as the chairman of the committee on
appropriations of the house. James T.
McCleary now stands fourth from the
head, and Chairman Hemingway is a
candidate for Senator Fairbanks place,
but it is generally believed that Harry
5. New will be the new senator, but
even if Hemingway secures the place
General Bingham comes next, and
though he is feeble it is probable that he
would attempt to take up the duties.
Aside from all of these matters, there
is another very good reason why Speak
er Cannon will be 10th to make Me-
Cleary chairman, and that is his lack of
tact in taking charge of measures on
the floor. All the members of the house
remember the ignoble failure of Nc
Cleary in attempting to get the Hawaii
legislation through last winter. He made
4 complete failure of the matter and it
mad to be referred back to the commit
tee in order to save its defeat. A spec
Rial committee of three was appointed to
look after the matter, and Congressman
Spalding of North Dakota was asked by
Speaker Cannon to take charge of the
measure OH the floor, and he reported
back practically the same measure as
McCleary first presented to the house,
and steered it successfully through, meet
ing every objection of the opponents, SO
that it almost unanimously passed. With
this object lesson in mind, it is sure that
Uncle Joe Cannon will find some way to
fix matters SO that McCleary would not
have this chairmanship, even if all his
ranking members were out of the way.
!, The speaker is too anxious to have busi-
ness well presented and measures passed
within reasonable time to trust the
Minnesota man in such an important po-
Esition. Il,

WAR AMONG PROHIBS
BECOMES MORE BITTER

Chicago, Nov. I7.-All possibility OF
a peaceful settlement of the warfare In
the prohibition party was destroyed
today through charges by John G..
Woolley and other prohibition leaders,
made in Mr.. WooIley's publication.
This followed Oliver w. Stewards ac-
ton in bringing suit for 5000 against
William E. Johnson. The latter IS as
sociated with Mr. Wooliey in the pub
lishing business. He is accused by the
chairman of the prohibition national
committee with having slandered him.
Accepting the challenge, Mr.. Wool
ley has come forth with an attack OF
six printed pages directed against his
fellow temperance workers, charging
Stewart with having wrecked the pres
ldential campaign conducted BY the
party. The. secrets Of the prohibition
lists are given to the world, including
the information that DIR. Swallow, who
ran on the ticket Tor president Of the
United States, "has been trudging
about the country on q campaign tour,
footing expense bills with borrowed
money, and acting as a collector of
campaign funds tor the chairman .fg
s Aside from the treatment Of the pres-5
idential candidate at the hands ofl the
advocates of temperance and the pov-
serty-stricken variety of the compaign
he was forced to make, it IS disclosed
that there has long been So little har-
mony in the ranks Of the leaders that a
peace committee" was established Ia
endeavor I'd maintain tranquility with
in the ranks.
The chairman Of this body, Al: A.
Stevens, DR. Samuel Dickie. national
treasurer Of the party, and Vice Cfair~
man A. @. Woldenbarger are cited as
