INSCRIPTION So PER YEAR
Must Be Cleared Up.

The murder of two defense
less persons, an aged man and a
young woman, in the During
country is one of the most brutal
and revolving crimes of the gen
GRAFTON and every consideration
of self interest, justice and right
demands that the guilty parties
be discovered and. that the full
punishment prescribed by the
law be melted out to them. The
mystery of who did the deed is
still as dark and impenetrable as
it was when Mr.. Dahl and his
daughter was first missing. Ap-
parently no direct evidence in
eliminating any one person has
been secured; there is almost
no circumstantial evidence:
there is nothing but a conviction
that certain men are guilty. The
During country is not overrun
with ruffians; neither is any other
section of Beltrami county.
Nevertheless by this brutal MUIR
der, the homestead districts of
Beltrami county had thrust upon
them hard name. A few des-
perate characters in the OUR
ing country have done this. They
need to be cleaned out and we
believe that they will be. Even
though the mystery of the MUIR
der of the Dahls is not finally
solved as this time the bad
characters who have infested
the During country have got to
go. The sooner they go the bet
ter for them. But the Pioneer
is confident that the guilty parties
shall not escape. Beltrami county
has got to do it if it has to keep
at it all winter.

Tom Show Was Good.

Burke's Uncle Toms Cabin
company showed under canvas
in the city last night and did a
fair business. The company
carries a band of twelve pieces
which rendered concerts at noon
and in the evening and the music
given was very good. Those who
attended the show report a very
creditable performance.

ONE of the flaws in the prim
airy law is the fact that it does
not bring out full vote and that
the candidate nominated usually
is the choice of his party by the
grace of but minor fraction of
it's mem bers. It is probable
that Beltrami county will suffer
more severely in this respect
than most of the other counties
of the state inasmuc as many
of it's voters leave this season of
the year to work in the wheat
fields Of the Red river valley and
the Dakotas. Probably not more
than one half of the normal vote
of the county will be cast Sep
TENDER 20. This is feature of
the law that deserves earnest
consideration when the matter of
amendment to the primary law
comes to be taken up.

FEAR A CALAMITY
Inhabitants at celina, Ohio, Apprehend
tho Bursting of Big Reservoir -
Flood Conditions Are tho Worst for
Weeks Thruout Indiana and Ohio.

Celina, Ohio. April 1.-Heavy rains
have caused big rise in the Lake Mer-
Ger reservoir Notwithstanding the gates
have been removed. a large force of
men are at work strengthening the
abutments. There is much apprehen-
sion among people living in the adja-
cent valley lest the reservoir break over
its bounds. Celina is entirely cut off
from train service today.
Altho the reports that the dam of st.
Mary's reservoir had given away is
untrue, the water is higher now than
for many years. Only heavy winds for
the next forty-e eight hours would give
cause for uneasiness. The banks are
in good condition. This reservoir is the
largest artificial body of water In the
world. being ten miles long to four
wide and covering about 10000 acres.
Its banks are from ten to twenty feet
high. IN the event of serious break
the damage would be immense.

making it $3.50 to consumers. The
dealers who are not connected with the

say they are out to stay. Information

Coal Mines, Gypsum Mills and the

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. April 1.--F'ort Dodge is
rapidly becoming a storm center for
strikes and walkouts. At the present
time there is not Il miner working in
any of the coal miles. all of the gyp-
sum miners are out except at the mines
of the United states Gypsum Company
and the tailors of one of the largest
clothing houses are out.
Promptly at o'clock yesterday
afternoon the members of the Lehigh
local union of United Mine Workers of
America gathered their tools and
walked out. and the miners in the Kalo
union did likewise The two locals rep
resent about 335 men, When the vote
on the recent reduction in price was
taken in the early part of the month,
the Lehigh local voted by 217 to strike
and six for work. At the Kalo union
the vote was sixty three for work and
forty eight for strike. Just what ar
rangements can be made for keeping
the engineers of the mines at work
humping out the water is not known.
At some of the mines the engineers are
stockholders, but it is not known
whether the miners will allow them to
continue at their posts or not, as no
action mas been taken in the matter.
No greater damage can be done a mine
than to allow it to fill up with water,
and should the miners compel the en-
gineers to join them in their strike se-
rious damage would be done to the
mines.

NO cANTEEN IN HOMES.
Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill to
Prohibit Them in Soldiers Homes.

Amendment TO ouHo'y StS' o"' W
Prohibit Them in Soldiers Homes.
washington. April las a result of
disclosures made in the house yeSt,sr-
dav by Representative Bell, of Califor-
MIA, concerning the alleged gross mis-
management of the home for disabled
soldiers in that state an amendment TO
the sundry civil bill was adopted which
is designed to prohibit canteens in such
institutions. The amendment provides
that no part of the appropriation for
state or territorial homes for disabled
soldiers shall be apportioned until all
have conformed to the rules and regu-
lations prescribed by the act of March,
1883. pertaining TO the national home
at Washington, d. c., nor shall any
part of it be apportioned to any state
or territorial home that maintains a
bar or canteen where intoxicating liq-
uors are sold.
In his speech Mr.. Bell declared that
he was ashamed that his state should
have permitted existing conditions at
the home. He said the officials had de-
graded the state to the position of con-
Quoting saloon and grogshop. Un-
der the rule now existing. he declared
the officials compel the soldier to SUR
render his pension and then pay 1t
back in canteen checks. As a result of
this system there is a complete mo-
nopoly of nearly every dollar that goes
into the home in the form of pensions,
and instead of being a means of tenn
perance the home offers inducements
for the old soldier to march UP to the
adjutant's desk and get his canteen
check. He held that the state was
speculatins. on the pensions of old sol
diers when the money was spent in
eanteen checks.

MAY HAVE BEEN NovIcEs.
Methods Used by Robbers Leads to
This Conclusion.

This Conclusion.
Reading, CAL, April Lit IL evident
that the three armed men who held up
the Oregon express at Copley were
novices. They took human life without
proyocation and the methods they em-
ployed to open the safes were so crude
that they gained but little plumber.
Particulars of the robbery were OBJ
tained when the train minus the ex-
press car reached Reading. When the
train pulled into Copley the hfghw
men emerged from the brush. They
first encountered a tramp stealing
ride. He was jabbed in the ribs with
rifle muzzle and made to enter the
smoker. Meanwhile the robbers knock
ed on the door of the express car.
w. ]. O'Neil, the messenger asked
them. some questions. The reply was
evidently satisfactory because O'Neil
slid the big door back about eighteen
inches when rifle bulle was sent thru
his body. He fell back dead. SO'Nefl
was not armed. Then while one rob-
Der remained on the lookout the other
two marched the engine crew 10 the
express car. The robbers all the time
used vile language and discharged oc-
casional shots from their rifles. This
Appraised the passengers of what was
going on, but they were not molested.
When the express car was reached.
Colford, helper to the messenger.
O'Neil awaited their return with a
shotgun. He raised the weapon and
pulled the trigger. The cartridge fail
ed to explode. When the plucky young
fellow started to put another shell IN
the gun. Then the robbers covered him
with their rifles and commanded him to
lay down his gun or be killed. Engi-
neer BisseH also urged Colford not 20
make a fight. arguing If he did they s
might all be killed.
The robbers now compelled two fire-
men and brakeman to Climb into the
smoker. Because Brakeman Stone was
not quick enough one rUbber hit him
over the head with a rifle, inflicting q
severe scalp wound. When the bandits
found Colford could not open the safe
they used dynamite, first removing THE
body of ONeil which lay near the safe.
There were two safes in the car, q
heavy through safe and a small local
safe. The local safe was blown to-
atoms, the top of the thru safe blown
off and tiny pieces of greenhacks and
twisted coins covered the floor. It IS
certain the robbers did not get great
amount of plunder, although their
blundering work may have destroyed
thousands of dollars.

Fort Dodge is small. Fortunately for
the city the contract for supplying the
water works is in the hands of mine
owner. who forecasted the present sit
uation and has been quietly accumu-
lating a supply until at the present
time there is d months supply on hand
The electric light company has pu'
few days' supply on hand, but the gas
works is on the other hand IN much
better condition. Most all of the man
ufacturing institutions have but FEW
davs' supply on hand and some o. them
but a days run. The brick yards VIII
all have to shut down in a few days at
the most.
The Gypsum Situation.
AT the gypsum mills the strike sltua-
ton is In rather complicated conol-
ton. The United States Gypsum Com
pany does not officially recognize the
gypsum mills workers union and mas
not done so since the strike in their
mills about two years ago. Ihelr
workmen at the Blandon mill are pafd
by the ton while at all of the other
mills the men are paid by the hour.
January 1st. they served notice that
they would reduce the price per ton
cents. The Cardiff mills which IS an
independent mill served notice at the
same time that they would continue TO
nav the old scale of 45 cents tempor-
arily as the winter, work was light but
when they started up in the spring the
scale would be reduced TO the same
basis as that of the United states
mills. When notice was served a lew
days ago that the reduced rate would
go into effect there was a walkout.
The fact that the United States mills
are "open shop mills protects them
from a strike altho an effort Will oe
made to unionize the mills In an enort
to call them out.
The Tailors.
The strike of the tailors Is due to a
refusal upon uhe part of the proDrie-
tor to sign the old scale OF wages Tor
full wear. He has agreed to pay the
scale temporarily or for six months,
but will not sign for year. The WORK
men insist that he shall sign for year.
MANY Easter suits will remain IN an
unfinished condition If the matter is
not adjusted this week.
