In the early morning the crowd

One OF them, shock-headed youth il

stone curbing by the entrance to the
power station, smoking a small black
pipe, seemingly more occupied with
meditation than observation.
Most Of the men who were now gath
ering about the board, wero coal miners
on their way to the shafts. Here and
there were electricians. The vastness
OF the power station from which they
mad come, was no more than suggested
from where the crowd stood, the build

trees.
The groups of miners and electric
ians were almost silent. They seemed
to have exhausted comment and sur.

In Washington the federal news edi-

A speck developed in the eastern sky
and drew nearer, charging rapidly.
Then the Washington mail came into
sight, and landed at the areoplane sta

station. A mail clerk came down the
elevator after the sacks had been
thrown into the chute. He was ques-
toned eagerly by the men still stand
Ing about the bulletin board, but had
nothing of news later than that which
the bulletins had given them.
Az he stood talking, another message
was flashed on the board:
WILLIAMS says that opposition to
the majority will cease. War will be
declared before night"
At that the shock-headed youth arose
suddenly from the curbstone, walked
rapidly through the gates and on into
the grounds Of the power station.

In the early history of the nation
there had been a much applauded
maxim: "In time Of peace, prepare for
war;" The people had never deviated
from their policy of applauding and
ignoring this wisdom of one of their
earliest statesmen. The nation had
never lost its compiacency--had never
succeeded In disillusioning itself. 1t
imagined itself peaceful, but in reality,
it was quickest to resent an injury,
fancied or real, surest to raise popu-
lar demand for war, and least prepared
to carry Il on.

With the self-deceiving theory that
they were not militant people. they
had continued to delude themselves In

taken without preparation, did not
serve to destroy this illusion--it was

MUST PAY BACK MONEY He OBTAINED
Otherwise He will Be Prosecuted for Obtaining Money Under
False pretensex

o. o. Adams, the school supply agent
who is alleged to have been doing
school boards in Ward county to the
tune Of 500 for stuff worth about $50,
will either have to reimburse the
school boards for the money that he
has obtained in that manner or he will
have to stand trial on charges of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
The boards that have been done up by
him have decided that If he will come
around and settle up they will not
prosecute him. It is reported that Mr..
Adams stops at nothing in the attempt
to secure an order, and that his favor
lite plan is to induce one of the school
board to sign an order by telling him
that the other members were favorable
to the proposition If he was. After he
got ono member to sign he would then
60 down the line and get all the sigma
lures for the order and then he would
90 to the treasurer and draw the
money for 1t. In District No. SO, west
Of Lansford, he worked a different
scheme, with good results. He went to
the daughter Of the clerk Of the dis
trict, A. e. West, and told her that her
father wanted her to sign his name to
q warrant which the agent handed her.
He is ine looking fellow and the girl
thought that he told a straight story,

the warrant to the chairman and got

ear. He then stood up and fired an
other shot from the front, the ball en-
tering the neck Just below the chin.
Either wound was fatal. Brandt then
turned the weapon against his own
breast and fred. The bullet, however,
glanced and only a flesh wound was
inflicted. He then rushed into tho
kitchen covered with blood and secured
a rifle.
The two neighbor women, very much
alarmed. hung to him and fought des-
perately to restrain him, but he threw
them of and, going to the barn, pro-
coded to deliberately end his life. He
rested the butt Of the gun on tho
ground and placed the muzzle against
his forehead. Having removed one of
his shoes, he pulled the trigger with
his toe. The charge tore the entire top
Of his head away.
Brandrs brother, who lived with
him, was at work in the field when the
tragedy occurred. He took charge of
the bodies of the two victims and will
ship them to Minnesota for burial. Tho
couple had four other children beside
the newly born infant.

Terrible Crime Of Prosperous North Dakota Settler Near the
Town Of New Salem.

A terrible tragedy occurred fifteen
miles northeast Of New Salem, when
Henry A. Brandt, prosperous farmer,
shot and instantly killed his wife, and
then blew out his own brains There
is no known motive for the double
crime. Brandt had lived in this county
about four years, having come here
from Minnesota. He had been married
i've or six years, and so far as known
his married life had been happy.
Mrs. Brandt, four days prior to the
murder had given birth to a child and
was being cared for by neighbor
woman and young girl. Brandt had
been apparently in good spirits, and
nothing had been noticed in his alb
sence to arouse alarm. During the abb
sence Of the attendants in the kitchen
he was left alone in the sickroom with
his wife.
Brandt suddenly approached the bed
and shot twice with a revolver. He
evidently fired the first shot from a
sitting position beside the bed, and
while the woman's eyes were closed.
The bullet entered her skull behind the
