DIDN'T KNOW LEWIS HILL.
Banker Was Taken Back on Learning
His lde nifty.

McCumber, n. D., Nov. l.-When the
Great Northern railway officials were
here in the party was Vice President
Louis ". Hill, with whom Banker Berg
of Rolette got into conversation on the
subject of railroad building. Not know
ing Mr.. Hill and thinking that he was
merely an interested stranger, the bank
err proceeded to give out a liberal amount
of information regarding the new 500
road, naming date ON which the trains
would be stopping in Rolette.
Mr.. Hill mildly protested. asserting
that the road could not be built in twice
the time named by Mr.. Berg. But the
banker knew what .e knew and wasn't
going to be bluffed by any stranger. 1t
was about this time that Mr.. Hill stat
ed that he had little of the stuff that
talks to back up his opinion that the 500
road would not be completed in less than
six months, and he pulled out his check
book and wrote something about the
payment of sou and signed his name.
When the 500 town man saw the
amount of the check and signature he
said that he was pleased to meet Mr..
Hill and that if the fine weather con-
tinued it would be a mighty good thing
for the farmers.

From Wednesdays Daily.
a new lodge of Knights of Pythias
was instituted at Winnebago City last
night, with nine members, of whom six
were new and three came in by card.
The three ranks were conferred by a
delegation from Mankato lodge No. SO,

The Mankato party went on the
noon train over the Omaha road yester
day and returned at 5:45 a. m. today.
The lodge work was not concluded I'M
til a. m. Several members of the
order from Lake Crystal and Vernon
Center also attended, and Grand Chan
cellor Bartram and Grand Keeper of
Records and Seal Fred Z. Wheaton
were present and assisted in the initia-
ton. Coffee and sandwiches were serv-
ed. The new lodge has about the min

community to draw upon for more
members.
Deputy Grand Chancellor Black of
Garden City, who helped to get the
membership for the new lodge, was UNI
able to be present, being confined to
his bed with an attack of spinal menin-
gifts.

-ondon, Ucr. zi.-II ooubt existed
in anyone's mind as to the truth of the
Congo horrors, as recently depicted in
Mark Twain's pamphlet holding King
Leopold up to the scorne and contempt
of all Christendom, it would be remov-
ed by listening to the stories told by a
Mr.. Harris, missionary just returned
from the Congo. Most of the natives,
says Mr.. Harris, have to bring in rub
Der to the company's agent every TWEEN
ty days. Owing to the huge amount de-
manded of them they have to be away
fifteen days in the forest, and have no
time to recover from the fatigue of
such journeys. But it is when the sup
ply is short or not good in quality
that the fortunes begin, says Mr.. Harris.
The law of the Congo Free State allows
hostages to be taken from the natives
if the supply is not kept up, and these
hostages are taken by the black canni
bal soldiery employed by King Loop
ODDS agents. Sometimes these latter
are sent out, armed, to do exactly as
they please. In one village chief was
shot by the black sentries, his body cut.
up, and piece fixed to every house in
the village. In another where man
failed to supply enough rubber, his
wife and child were cooked and eaten
before his eyes.

given check book. In the afternoon
he entered the bank and wanted to
withdraw the money, saying that he
had to leave the city. Mr.. Flacksen-
har waited upon him, and insisted that
the check book must be returned first.
Ellit said that he had lost it. Mr..
Flacksenhar finally let him have the
money. The police believe that Elliot
and Peterson are the same man, and
that the object of his depositing money
in the bank was to get possession of a
check book. The forged paper was drawn
upon a check similar to the ones con-
tanned in the book.
The police have been unable to ascer-
tain where the forger stopped while in
the city. 1t may be that he came in on
morning train and left on an evening
train.
The forgery is admitted by bankers
who have examined it to be a cleverly
executed piece of work, and calculated
to deceive The check was filled out by a
good penman and one who understood
the way business firms draw their
checks.
1t is a curious coincidence that the
serial number on the forged check is
close to the last serial numbers used by
Mr.. Taylor when he was the manager
for the company.
A stranger has been passing forged
checks in Minneapolis of late. He may
be the same fellow that caught Person.

VOTING DEVICE NOT PERFECT
Linotype Operator Shows How Ma
chine Can BE Fixed"

San Francisco, Nov THAT the vot-
ing machine to be used in the coming
municipal election, Nov. 7, does not
guard against fraud was proved by an
official test. An operator of a typeset-
ting machine with small rubber band
fixed the machine so that it would
register for all members of the fusion
ticket except the mayor, and experts
representing the manufacturers were
unable to make the machine register
properly while the band was in place.
1t has been rumored that fraud
would be attempted. The machine is
the same as that used in New York, and
this is the first time that it has been
demonstrated that it was possible to
tamper with it.

The second alarm was turned in at
l:55 a. m. by young Mr.. McCullum,
from box AZ. John Graham's barn, on
the alley near the corner of Record and
Fulton streets, was ablaze. The fire
had gained great Roadway when it was
discovered, and the building burned to
he ground, the firemen being unable to
save it. Mr.. Graham was aroused by
the cracking sound, and had just time
to save his horse and buggy. The cutter
was also gotten out, but was scorched.
1t is thought that this fire was of
incendiary origin. 1t seems to have
started on the outside on the alley
side. The barn was a small one, val
ued at perhaps 500, and was not in
sured.

rom Wednesdays Daily.

from Wednesdays Daily.
Added to the excitement occasioned
by Halloween two fires occurred last
night, both of them being in barns. The
first alarm was sent in at 500 D. m.
rom box &c, and was due 10 fire that
had been discovered in the barn in the
rear of the store in block fourteen &C.
cupied by the Minnesota Wine and Liq-
lor House. The barn is owned by Me
Weis, and is used by the Minnesota
Wine and Liquor House for storage
Of straw used in packing goods sent out
or received. The barn was locked secure
ly at 7 p. m. A door that was gener-
lily left open was hooked on the inside
because of its being Halloween and to
prevent boys from entering the barn. A
little over an hour later a blaze was
discovered in the straw in the loft and
worked downward, and the fire depart
nent was called out. The fire was very
quickly extinguished, but all of the
straw had to be taken out. The damage
to the building will not exceed $25.
The supposition is that when the barn
was locked some tramp or person
sleeping off a drunk was in the loft,
and upon finding that the barn had been
locked lighted a match to see how to
get out. This theory is confirmed by
the fact that the door that was hooked
IN the inside was found to be open. No
person could have gotten into the barn
from the outside after it was locked,
it is thought.

New Cut Glass.

In cut glass the pattern known as
the chrysanthemum is still the popu
lar choice.
The very newest, however, Is q
larger design known as Tornado.
This can best be imagined by think
ing of a pinwheel in the act OF ex-
ploding. Being very difficult to cut,
and snowy, it is extremely expensive.
The most recent salad bowl is
boat-sbaped vessel, very long and
deep. Especially pretty ones come in
enameled glass, with floral or fruit
design.
This charming glass, by the way, Is
an improvement upon that of last
year. The gilt decorations and the
flowers and foliage, or fruit, of the
body design are toned down by tint
laid over them, which imparts a de-
lightful softness-a species of luster
tone.
