His death. Of course. they had not

Communicated.

When the Bottineau republican con-
vention came out for reciprocity had
they lucid interval or were they
only trying to s'soft sawder'' the
farmers Have not republican sena-
tors buried all reciprocity treaties
sent them by the president till our
president sees it is useless to make
any more. President Mckinley, a
life long protectionist, saw the need
Of free trade and advocated rceipro-
city. President Roosevelt promised to
carry out the Mckinley policy but
from some cause or influence, perhaps
the allurement of a second term,
change seems to have come over him.
At all events the "stand -patters" of
the "grand old party have carried all
before them. How will it suit the
farmer to continue TO pay high prices
for the benefit of trusts and the for
eigner who gets his machinery at about
half the price the American farmer
does A binder that is sold in Bot
tineau for $110 can be bought in Den
mark for $50. This is what the mon
,opolist means by the home market, to
charge enormous profits at home and
dump his surplus on the foreign mar
ket at scarcely any profit. Is this en-
couraging or protecting the farmer ?
Mr.. Carnegie in recent speech in
Scotland boasted of the system which
gave him and others of his ilk a
home market but he did not say any
thing Of getting $40 ton profit on
steel rails in the home market. OF
coulse he will pour out of his barrel
to elect Roosevelt. A New Jersey
farmer recently visited his native
land, England, and was astonished
at the cheapness of American machin-
cry, etc. and expressed his opinion as
follows. "Protection the republicans
call it. Robbery is my name for It,

Mrs. Gillette and Son
Elmer, charged with
Numbering Husband
and Father, are Dis
charged by Justice
Peyton. III. +.
NO EVIDENCE
Connecting Them With the
Crime. - Case Lasted Five
Days.

After preliminary hearing lasting
five days. Mrs. Gillette and her son
Elmer were discharged by Justice
Peyton on Monday evening. Though
a majori ty of those who heard the
testimony believe that Mr.. Gillette,
the husband and father, met with
foul play there was no evidence con-
Meeting the accused with the crime.
When we went to press last week,
Mrs. Gillette was on the witness stand
in her own behalf. She denied all
knowledge of the manner of Mr..
Gillette's death. The other defend
ant, Elmer, also denied having any
knowledge of the affair. His testi-
mony was unimportant. Mrs. Maud
Durham, Eugene Dunham, L. P.
Smedley, Clarence VanNewkirk and
William Breitenbach testified that the
deceased used drugs, but none of them
knew whether it was morphine or not.
DIR. MacKay gave expert testimony
for the defense. 1t did not materially
differ from that given by DIR. Mac
Laren.
It can hardly be said that any of
the witnesses for the defense gave any
testimony that materially affected
the case. The state simply could not
produce strong enough evidence to
warrant binding over.
The defendants had a number of
friends here who stoutly maintain
that the accused are innocent and that
the case ended as they expected.
Even those who are convinced that
a murder was committed concede that
there was no testimony to connect the
ssGillettes with the crime. sss
The case has been an expensive one
for the county, but the coroner's jury
brought in verdict charging the de-
PENDANTS with murder and the officers
had no choice but to prosecute.
It is not known whether any further
move will be made in the case or not.

Opinion In the Barry Case.

The state supreme court has handed
down it's opinion in the Barry case, the
decision in which was rendered some
time ago. The question involved was
the right of the defendant to oppose
a change of venue from Cavalier coun-
ty, where he had been twice tried for
the crime of murder, to Walsh county.
The change Of venue was ordered by
Judge Cowan on the motion of the
state. The supreme court decided
that the change Of venue could be
taken under the circumstances.
