CRIME RAMPANT UNDER WRIGHT
Police Appalling Dunu Ten Con
Months of Republican Administration
1892, for Which Not Single Was

A compilation has been made of the
crimes committed and for which ar
rests were not made from Sept 1, 1892,
to June 81, 1893. this being a period Of
ten months during F. p. Wright's ad-
ministratiOn when law and order should
have been maintained, if such was the
case at any time during the two years.
In making a fair and impartial record
the cases where arrests were made and
convictions obtained are not included, yet
the showing justif1es the charge Of the
Democratic campaign speakers that
reign Of terror existed. At the begin
ming Of the period Wright had been in
Office for three months and was pre-
sumed to have his police force in work
ing condition.
A perusal of the list will show that
there was a remarkable series Of
crimes, with few days in succession
without an offense Of more or less Sc
rious character being reported. A num-
Der Of prominent men were victims Of

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, $. D., April 2T--John
Pazour, a gay and frisky seventy FIVE
year-old pioneer resident Of Brule
county, is experiencing great difficulty
in selecting a wife. Last year the old
man. with the aid of a matrimonial
agency, made the acquaintance of a
woman, who was induced to visit his
home But she evidently did not suit
him, for instead of marrying her he
sent her away. 1t is said that she, in
return for her consent to marry him.
demanded that he transfer all his prop
erty to her.
The other day the old gentleman
landed another prospective wife in the
person Of a Minnesota widow with two
children. But the widow no sooner
cast her eyes upon Pazour than she
shied and refused to be led to the altar
by him. She claimed the old man de-
ceived her as to his age. alleging that
he was only sixty years old. The widow
threatens a suit for damages against
Pazour for injury to her feelings.
Friends and relatives are striving to
effect a compromise, 50 the old gentle
man can take another unimpeded leap
at the matrimonial sea.

life, this bill proposes TO take of an
even hundred per cent on starch, and a
hundred and fifty per cent on pota-
toes
One of the worst breaks" in con-
gressional history cannot be excused as
a slip of the tongue, for it is noticeable
that while Col. Kiefer said the Demo
Gratis proposed to reduce the duty on
starch 100 per cent, the proposed re-
duction on potatoes was $50 per cent
The fact undoubtedly is that Col
Kiefer had no knowledge Of the pro
posed schedules in the Wilson bin and
the meaning of the percentages in the
schedules, and his declaration of $50
per cent truly represented his-con-
ception Of what was proposed.
Congressional Record Proves Il.
The record of Col. .Kiefer's friendship
TO the potato-and his utter ignorance
Of all forms and terms of business-is
part of the congressional records Of
the United States The fact that he
deliberately declared that reduction Of
$50 per cent was proposed on an ar
ticle by tariff schedule is proven
if any proof is needed-by the Con-
gressional Record, that invention which
has before rose up TO confront men
who have been in public life by the
simple records of their acts and
speeches
The Congressional Record Of the Fif-
ty-third congress, second session, vol
ume 26, part 2, pages 1851 to 1864,
contains all Of Col Kiefer's famous
speech and his still more celebrated
proposition that somebody wanted to
reduce the tariff on an article $50 per
cent.
And Col. Kiefer wants to be city
comptroller of St. Paul and succeed
expert accountants like ]. ]. McCardy
and Louis Betz. He would occupy an
Office where distinctively an expert
enced bookkeeper and accountant and
a man familiar with all forms of bust
ness is required.

Col a. r. Kiefer, Republican candi-

The statesmen of the East and the
South were arrayed against the king

they threatened its supremacy at home

LIVESBENEATH SNOW BEAT OFF WOLVES
Turkey Hen Sustalns Life by

banks are still in evidence in deep
gulches. The melting away of one Of
these white monsters was great reve-
lation 10 a turkey that Lucy Walton
had set along a fence before the storm.
Buried under a towering drift the hen
and her prospective brood were
mourned as dead. But after a week or
longer the snow had melted sufficiently
TO find that the hen had set faithfully
on her nest, weighted down by the
mountain Of snow, preserving her life
during her trying ordeal by eating her
eggs.
This is not the first instance where a
turkey has resurrected safely from a
snow bank. Cyrus Wharton was sur
prised once TO discover along towards
spring that fat turkey gobbler that
disappeared about Thanksgiving had
been lying in a great snow bank all
winter, coming out little the worse for
wear, his redemption having been in
the fact that he was in a spot where a
grain header box kept him company.

Closing Hours of Congress Are

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 81
In the presence of the crowded gal

speeches intended for. the coming pres

SARLFS FAVORED
FOR GOVERNOR
HiIIsboro, N. D., Man viii Prob.
ably Be the Republican
Nominee.

E. Y. Sarles, of Hillsboro, viii in all
probability be the Republican nominee
for governor of North Dakota.
Gov. Frank T. White who has served
two terms in the office, it is said, is
making fight for third term more
with the idea of debating his successor
than with an intention of serving a
third term.
Edward Porter, secretary of state of
the F1ickertail state, it is now said, will
not be a candidate for governor but
will be content to remain in his present
office for another two years.
There have been a number of prom
inent figures in North Dakota Repub-
lican politics at the Merchants hotel
during the past few days. Several of
the leaders came in response to a re-
quest from Sarles' friends and a num-
Der of others happened to be in St.
Paul on business. The Capital City OF
Minnesota Is historically the place Of
meeting of North Dakota politicians
1t Is just a nights ride from almost
every point in the state and is more
convenient OF access to all parts Of the
state than either Fargo or Grand
Forks, while the city presents accom-
modations and opportunities for enjoy
ment not found in the smaller cities Of
North Dakota. In spite Of a prejudice
against conferences outside the state,
meetings have been held in St. Paul of
the Dakota politicians for quarter Of
a century and they will be held here
for many years to come.
Sarles Is the Man.
AS result Of protracted confer
ences, it Is said with authority that E.
Y. Sarles is the only active, ambitious,
declared candidate for the governor
ship Of his state, and when the conven-
tion is held at Grand Forks in July
he is almost sure to be the choice Of
the men who viii make the nomina-
