MRS. IEASURE
Came Here to Visit and Died From
Ptomains Poisoning

Mrs. VIM. Leasure of Moscow who
has been in the city on a visit with her
daughter Mrs. Clay McNamee. died
yesterday morning at 10: 80 from
ptomaine poisoning. The circumstances
surrounding the death are pitiable in
view of the fact that Mrs. Leasure was
in the best of health at the time Of
coming here two weeks ago. Some days
ago the members Of the McNamee
household were taken violently i'll. Mr..
McNamee and Mrs. McNamee soon re-
covered but Mrs. Leasure was unable
to throw off the poison. Physicians
were called in and did everything in
their power to relieve the suffering
woman but were unsuccessful the raw
ages of the disease having taken too
firm hold and she died yesterday
morning surrounded by her family.
Members Of the family state that the
cause Of the poisoning is due to mutton
chops which the family ate a week ago
Thursday. No other cause is assigned.
The deceased vas So years of age. The
remains are in the hands of Undertaken
Vassar. The funeral will occur from
the residence of Clay McNamee to-
morrow afternoon.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
Fifteen Hundred Dollar Structure viii
Be Built at Melrose

w. E. Richardson Of Melrose is in the
city today consulting the architect on
plans for the new school house that
will be built in the Melrose district this
spring. The new building will be two
stories high with two rooms in each
story The rooms will be separated by
broad Railways on each floor. A large
bell tower will be the browning feature
Of the building. The estimated cost Of
the building is $1500.OO. The interest
created in this enterprising reservation
town is shown by the fact that last
spring a meeting was called to bond
the district for $4,000 to refit the old
school building with new seats. This
was voted down by a vote Of seven to
three. In the fall another proposition
was placed before the people by the
directors to vote for $4,000 for i'm
provement purposes and that carried
by vote Of seventeen to four. BY
this time the old house had become 80
crowded that it would not hold the
pupils and the directors approached
the subject Of building a new school
house and a bond issue Of 100000 was
called for and the proposition was
carried with an expected vote Of ~ for
! and 1 against The building that the
board of trustees is to build will be one

for states attorney. When the

eighth army corps. He did not

of the Bryan democracy. His is
the only political party that now
finds anything to commend in
the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms, and his speech of &C.
ceptance is strong arraignment
OF the new democracy for it's de-
sertion of Organism in a mad de-
sire for Office. To the democrat
who still believes in the doctrines
his party taught in 1896 and in
1900, the Watson speech will
make a convincing appeal. It
shows that party in this cam
paign as a convert to the gold
standard, ''safe" and ':sane,"
and hoping to slide into the
presidency becauseit has come
over onto the ground occupied
for so many years by the repub-
licans. 1t shows that the st.
Louis platform this year lodged
the income tax question because
David B. Hill told the resolutions
committee that the Parker cam.
paign could not be financed nor
New York carried if the income
tax were indorsed. In short, Mr..
Watson finds that "boiled down
to its essence, and "sifted to its
real meaning" !" the democratic
campaign of 1904 is "a mere un.
scrupulous hunt for Office The
most telling Indictment Of the
''safe" and "sane" democracy is
found in the following statement
from the Watson address:

amazing piece of effrontery for

The republican Cooperstown
Courier is making an effort tc
give the credit for the high price
of wheat to Roosevelt. Why
don't the geezer claim thhe earth
and be done with it.-Grand
Forks Evening Press.
The COURIER jokingly made q
statement in as much as some OF
our democratic friends intimated
that the president was to blame
for the rust he must also be to
blame for 81 wheat, but the
brilliant geezer of the Evening
Press took it too seriously. May
be the joke wasn't 'tpointed enough
for him. It has taken the demo.
cratic party eight years to find
out that the republican party was
right on the money question, but
we hardly think the editor Of the
Evening Press will require that
length of time to see through
our poor joke.

manufacturing concerns for it's
exhibit. This display will pro-
baby do more TO bring capital
into your state than will other
exhibits, in the building do for
their respective states.
The display of pottery made
from the excellent clays in your
state has excited the admiration
of all who have seen it. I un-
derstand that several pottery
men are surprised at the Won
derful purity of the clay. The
cement aud brick clays, IN which
your state is rich, are shown in
a very effective manner, and,
while but small amount of
local capital had undertaken to
develope it, enough has been
done to demonstrate that you
have a wide field in this product
fo1 commercial activity.
I 1realize that the Ignite coal,
which lies in your state in enex.
haustible beds, is very difficult
to exhibit in the raw condition,
but the charts showing the loca.
tion and size of numerous large
veins. the chemical composition
of the coal. and its comparative
fuel value, show more than any
thing I know Of what immense
wealth lies in the western part
of your state. The briquettes
which are shown, demonstrate
clearly that it is only question
of few years before the entire
Northwest will be using your
coal
Your exhibit in the education
al building is the equal of any in
the quality of the work shown.
1t is Of such high character
that no one can fail to be i'm.
pressed with the excellence of
your course Of study.
Many people, of the south and
east especially, open their eyes
in astonishment when they see
the wonderful strides which
North Dakota has made in the
educational line. I did not real.
ize until l visited your state, that
the territory which but a few
years ago was a lonely expanse
of prairie, is now dotted in every
section with school houses that
compare favorably with the
school houses of any of the older
and more thickly populated
states.
The work in your exhibit from
the engineering department. of
the state university and agri-
cultural college shows clearly
that your institutions of higher
learning are remarkably we'll
equipped. 4,
Many of your state high
schools have exceptionally fine
exhibits. I believe you have
very few cities and towns in
your state that can boast more
than 1900 inhabitants, yet the
exhibits from practically all the
high schools show as high a
quality of work and as extensive
equipment as most of the high
schools in the east, located in
cities of treble the inhabitants.
In this connection I want to
say, as chief of the department
of the exposition directly coz
cerned with the state exhibits,
that I am greatly pleased with
the public spirit shown by North
Dakota in providing so literally
for representation at this ex-
position, and with the effective
in which the appropriat-
ion seems to have been expend-.
ed. As I remember it North |
Dakota's exhibits here are much
larger than at Chicago in 1893. |
They certainly are, to my mind, |
more attractively arranged. and
reflect credit in every way on
your state. All my personal re-
lations with your people have

DEAR SIR:
Remembering the pleasant

couple of years ago when I spent
a week among your people, !
have naturally taken consider.
able interest in North Dakota s
representation at the Exposition,
and as a result of my inspection
of your various exhibits I want
to congratulate you and the state
on the showing made. In saying
that you have one of the best and
handsomest exhibits in the
agriculture building. but
voice the sentiment Of all who
have seen it. The installation is
novel different from any other at
the fair-and naturally excites
well merited admiration. The
elegance and comfort of your
headquarters has attracted much
attention from those who have
enjoyed your hospitality. The
clever way in which you have
displayed the resources of the
state is q model for exhibitors at
future expositions, and the daily
demonstrations of your macaroni
and other -four products must do
that industry an immense
amount of good.
The idea of q booth made of
plate glass is unique. The fill
ing of the columns and freize
with corn and other grains gives
color and beauty to the installa-
ton aud at the same time at.
tracts the passerby to further
examination Of your states

your grains in the straw and
your rich grasses, so beautifully
arranged in cases, offers a strik-
ing demonstration of the fertility
Of North Dakota soil and certain.
" must present a strong immi-
grafton argument in favor of
your state to those seeking new
homes and cheap lands.
The many other features of
your agriculture exhibit are full
of interest to the visitor, your
corn exhibit, probably, being
the greatest surprise to most
people. There are many "doubt-
ing Thomases" as to North Da-
kota's ability to grow corn. Just
send these people to me and l
will be glad to "put them
straight" as I saw thousands of
acres Of it growing on your vast
prairies and can safely predict
that in q few years North Dakota
will take her place in the galaxy
of corn states.
When you receive your exhibit
Of vegetables I am coming over
to beg a few potatoes. I never
saw such splendid vegetables in
my life as those shown me while
l was in your state. Mammoth
in size, your cabbage, potatoes,
celery, beets and other garden
stuff" were the best I ever ate,
and I am sure you will be able
to open the eyes Of fair visitors
when vegetable time comes
around.
The Roosevelt cabin in your ex-
hibit is one of the features of the
entire exposition. I have never
been over there when it was not
crowded with visitors, and the
Roosevelt cabin buttons are seen
on coats and dresses everywhere
one goes.
North Dakota's exhibit in the
Mines and Metallurgy building
is a remarkable one when it is
considered that the mineral re-
