Mayor Carter has issued an
order to Chief of Police Bailey
instructing the latter to make
arrests and prosecute in all cases
where women and girls frequent

women frequenting places of ill
repute and winerooms is stopped

cured against them. The police
have of late made the rounds of
these places but as yet have

Frozen Remains of Frank
Webster Found on Farm

TOOK HIS WIFE TO SCHOOL In
THE COUNTRY.
Whore She Taught in Morning
- and Was Not Seen Alive
Afterwards.

Last night about 7 O'Clock
Frank Webster. a farmer living
in Mary township, near Ada. was
found dead lying beside a straw
stack on his farm about 20 rods
away from his house. Webster
was about IS years old and came
from illinois last spring. He had
a wife to whom he was married
one year ago. They had no child
rem. Mrs. Webster teaches
school in District SO, in Mary,
and the deceased hitched up and
took his wife to school before 9
o'clock.
This was the last seen of him
alive, but it is known that he
started to load fax straw to haul
| to town. About 10 o'clock the
team was seen standing alone at
the straw stack. At noon the
mail driver from Borup, stopped
at the house, where he had been
in the habit of feeding his team
and eating his lunch, which he
carried with him. He found
Webster's team, which had run
away and smashed the hay rack,
wedged in between two stacks,
He took care of the team. There
was not a mark on the body and
from all appearances the man
may have swooned away. The
body was lying in a natural posi-
ton with no sign Of a struggle
or any indications that he met
with an accident.

Expresses His Views on Chinese Ex

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-Respondina
to communications from the Mer'
chants, Exchange of San francisco
President Roosevelt has written a let
ter in which he expresses his views
concerning the Chinese boycott OF
American goods and also the exclu
sion laws. The president writes that
this government must do justice as
we'll as exact justice; that Chinese
laborers should be excluded, but thai
the exempt classes of Chinese SHOULD
be treated courteously If the exclu
sion laws need to be amended Amer
lean merchants must exercise their In
auence for amendment, he says. The
president adds that the immigration
department has acted with the utmost
harshness toward the Chinese, thu
fault resting ultimately with mistaken
public opinion.
