Fairbanks rightly considers that we
conservative and thoroughly broad
and Christian policy which has been
adhered to during tine years of Repub-
lican administration. The tremendous
expansion in our trade, our foreign in
terests and influence has been accom-
plished by peaceful methods, and no
remote sign of war has appeared upon
our horizon in the years following the
establishment OF new national rela-
tons or our acquisition OF a vast ter
ritory in the far east.
In his enunciation of the Republican
idea of the desirability OF closer trade
relations with our great neishbor,
Canada, the candidate for the vice.
presidency Is peculiarly happy. He is
plainly for a liberal movement for reci-
procity between this country and the
people just over the line to the north.
He also emphasizes the value of the
'open door secured for us In China,
and promises a continuance of the
benefits of that result OF our recent
foreign policy.
AS a whole. the letter OF the vice
presidential candidate Is strong
paper, one which commands respect
and confidence. Senator Fairbanks Is
meeting the American people face to
face, from one end OF the country to
the other, in his very lively campaign.
1t is well, however, to have In hand his
written opinions and aspirations as a
public man on the great questions at
Issue at this moment.

Clear and Effective Statement OF Re.

Senator Fairba nks's letter Of accept.
nee Is q document which appeals d.
rectiy to the business men and work
srs generally. 1t states clearly some
Of the most important, but perhaps not
sufficiently understood, tenets Of the
Republican party in its conflict with
Democracy.
In calling attention to the service
done to the entire country by the e.
enlistment of the bureau Of COM
mercs and labor with q special de-
partment to deal with corporations,
the senator points out the nrst real
attempt BY the government to deal
with the trust problem. Hs clearly
sees that the regulation Of the great
combinations Of capital By law II pos
able, u necessary. and he shows the
consistent course Of the Republican
party In this regard.

Uses A Knife.


A sensational story comes from
Bossko this week, about a farmer who
lives in that vicinity. 1T seems that on
Tuesday morning that his wife and
fourteen year old daughter, who had
been accustomed to doing the farm
work, declined to perform some Of the
tasks imposed upon them by the man,
who acted in the capacity of foreman
or overseer. A dispute resulted in
which the farmer offered to relieve his
family Of his company for the sum of
$1,000 and all the personal property.
The wife demurred, but offered him
$500 and half the personal property.
Directing TO such a compromise, the
husband and father procured a butcher
knife and took after the mother and
daughter with the avowed intention of
taking their lives. Both, however,
escaped, and no further Developments
have yet been reported.
Murdered by Tramps.
With her clothing almost entirely

picions rest on three unknown trampI
who were seen in the neighborhood
day or two since. After the discover,
of the body their tracks were fount
near where the crime had been com
mitted. But there is no clue to tn
whereabouts of the tramps. According
to the doctrine Of the Mennonite societ,
they cannot ask for the aid Of the Law
and no complaint has been made to tn
authorities. Thus 1t is likely that tn

back to Salem, drew $1,000 in currency
from the bank, purchased a ticket for
Omaha and reported he was about to

Once United States Marshal Dies A
Prisoner.

Fred SCHNEIDER, aged As years, former
special deputy United States marshal
for North Dakota, died at the Sioux
Falls penitentiary October B, as the
result of an operation. He was serving
a term of five years, having been con-
victed in the federal court for North
Dakota of falsfying the accounts with
the government. The fraud perpe-
trated by him was OF an unusually bold
and wholesale character. He was
lodged in the penitentiary in the fall of
1902, and therefore had served about
two years. His case attracted wide
attention at the time of his conviction.

to lift the child from the hook, and it
was necessary to call some workmen
near by to come and rescue her.
Although the limb was fearfully LAGER

Startling proof of the existence of a
gang of coun5erfeiters in Sphinx county
i'll the earlier days has just come to
light. Tuesday while William Turner
was tearing down an old wall of his
house seven miles northeast of Ashton
he came across $37. 80 in counterfeit
silver dollars and halves. The money
had evidently been coined previous to
1887 and the pieces left in the house
We're apparently those that were not
satisfactory to the maker. The coins
all bore the date of 1875 and 1887 and as
far as weight and general appearance is
concerned were very good limitations of
the real thing. Mr.. Turner took the
money to the Ashton bank and T. p.
Blain, cashier of the bank, took it down
TO Redfield. There was quite a while
during the period around 1887 when
this house stood vacant and it is sup
posed the counterfeiters had their
headquarters there at that time.

Nearly all the spring Irish po-
tato crop has been dug and shipp-
ed out of Rapides. 1t is estimated
that l25 car loads have already
been shipped from Rapldes. and
there are probably ten more cars
to be shipped. Giving the OUT
put at l35 cars, and 450 bushels
to the car, it shows total prod
uct of 60.750 bushels. The ruling
price was from so to 75 cents per
bushel. Putting the average
price at SO cents per bushel, the
Irishspotato crop of Rapides this
this year brought to the truck
growers $36,45O. Most of this
crop of potatoes was raised within
