BECKER IS AGAIN FREE.
Well Known In Dickey County in the Early
Eighties.

Eighties.
Twenty years ago citizens of Ellen
dale and surrounding territory we're
organizing movement in support of
the candidacy of "Judge" Becker for
governor of the territory of Dakota.
Last week Judge Becker was released
from the Kansas City Jail, where he
has been for several months because
he was too ill to be taken to the peni-
tentiary to serve out two year sem
tence imposed on him for fraudulent
banking.
Becker has had career somewhat
similar to that of the latest airship.
OF unlimited ambition, and without
nice scruples, he has planned and
organized schemes for making money,
some of which might have brought
wealth into the hands of other swim
oilers, but like the airship, they have
always failed to rise to great heights,
and while their failures have been
disastrous to the operator and have
involved many others in loss, the
transactions have been on q compara-
lively small scale.
Becker organized railroad scheme
in the southern part of this state
which was to make all of it's stock.
holders rich. He impoverished a
good many people, but failed to en-
rich himself He secured position
of Importance in a secret benevolent
society, but was obliged to abandon
his Grand Forks headquarters before
he had feathered his nest. In Kan
sas City he and another man started
a bank without capital, and invited
deposits. The bank was closed by
the authorities before the receipts
had exceeded few hundred dollars.
and Becker was sentenced to two
years for his share in the transaction.
Becker ran a bank a short time at
Glendale in 1883, but it soon became
insolvent. He has a checkered ca.
reer in finance, but does not yet come
up to Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick in the
extent of his operations.

Angus Swept the Boards.

At the international fat stock show
just closed in Chicago, the Aberdeen
Angus swept the boards. They were
champions both in the single fat ami
NAL classes and in carloads; great
victory for the breed, and merited
one. When judged by the sale ring
they still held their place. What is
the reason7 Evenness of flesh, early
maturity and quality of bone, or, in
other words, less waste on the block
than in other breeds.

4 There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
-gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease
and pre- cribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional dis
ease and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
factured BY F.. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. II is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case It fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

"THE PRICE OF PEACE"
william ,. Bryan Makes an Address at
tho Peoples Church In
49, New Haven.


New Haven, Conn, March 2S.--Wil-
liam J. Bryan delivered an address
yesterday afternoon at the Peoples
church in the Hyperion theater on
1.-THE Price Of Peace" Mr.. Bryan
eventually took up the question of war
and inveighed against the present war
between Japan and Russia, saying that
he hoped there would be q general de-
mand made to find out the cause Of
that warfare. Knowing the exact
cause, the world would then be enabled
to form a Judgment as to which side
has justice in its contentious. He
deprecated the prevalence in this coun-
try Of training boys and young men
in the arts Of warfare. The only war
fare that man ought to wage, said he,
is the warfare against evil in all its
forms.
Society is In danger" continued Mr..
Bryan, because Of the terrible con-
fiict that threatens between the rich
and the poor. Shall we say that the
outcome will be a warfare between
class and class, to end only in the rule
of that class which can take the upper
hand and rule because It has the
strength? How much better to recog-
nize that all are brothers. Recogni-
ton Of that doctrine will not rob life
Of bravery; 1t will not make us cow
ards, for 1t takes brave man to live
righteously before men in the strenu-
GUS world Of to-day; 1t requires brave
man to stand up against error in his
own political party and to maintain
righteous principle"
