Lord Gays His Country Needs In.
migration Restriction.
Lord Brassey, accompanied by
Lady Brassey and Capt. Parkingham,
inspected Ellis island recently and
was the guest of Commissioner
Watchoru at luncheon. Before leav.
ing the island Lord Brassey praised
the system Of the immigration in
spection.
4 am turning to study of the i'm.
migration question" he said.
This is because in my own coun-
try it has become necessary to study
this question. England is in need of
some kind Of q restriction on the i'm
migrants who are pouring in. We
get the Immigrants rejected by this
country. Your cour,-7 gets the best
stock, while the inferior is admitted
by US by one hand and fed and cared
for by the other. This is becoming
= serious drain on the national
charity.
Il have stood for the policies of
your country ell my life, as far as
they were adaptable to the English
people. believe in the unity of
English-speaking people, and shall
always work to that end. am also
believer in the laboring man and
champion OF his cause"

]. 4. GEBuS DIES
FROM INJURIES
Man Whose Legs Were Cut Off
by 500 Train Last Night is
Dead - Platform Was Piled
High with Freight and Trunks.

j. A. Gebus OF Nealsville, Wis,
stepped in front OF train No. los
just in front OF the 500 depot
about nine o'clock Wednesday
evening and both legs were cut
off. The man was taken at once
to the hospital but he died this
morning at a quarter to seven
O'Clock. Gebus was on his way
Portal, near which place his
brother, j. L. Gebus, resides.
The man arrived in Minot
Wednesday and telegraphed his
brother at Portal that he was
coming. When the brother re-
ceived the telegram he was given
another telling OF the fatal acct
dent. The brother arrived in
Minot this morning about an
hour after the injured man passed
away.
The injured man was conscious
until within a short time OF his
degth. de was a man % years
OF age. The remains will be
shipped back to the old home in
Wisconsin.
Bystanders say that Gebus
seemed bewildered when he
stepped in front OF the train and
made an attempt to Jump back.
He fell between the rails and two
men grabbed him but failed to
get his body off in time to escape
the deadly engine.
The 500 platform was piled
high with freight, trunks, ETC.,
and it's more than likely that
this had something to do with
the accident. The platform
should be kept practically clear
all of the time. Just a few min
utes before the accident a little
girl fell Off the platform under
the wheels OF a train which hap
pened TO be standing, so she was
not injured.

PITIFuL STORY
OF AN OLD MAN
Niece Lures Him to Willston to
File on Worthless Claim
Without a Penny on Way
Back Home.

An old man 76 years Of age,
named Baldwin, from Mosten,
Wis, arrived in Minot from Will
liston Wednesday perniless. The
old fellow had been lured from
his home in the Badger state by
a letter from a niece, who wished
him to file on land forty miles
south of Williston. The old man
could not stay on claim so far
away as that so refused to file.
The niece's husband he found to
be a worthless, drunken pup, who
spent all of his money about
blind pigs and gambling joints.
The old man told a pitiful tale of
woe and the county commission
ers ordered a ticket for him to
Fargo. The old mans wife be-
came infatuated with a soldier
two years ago, left him and Sc
cured a divorce. Two days after
the marriage the old soldier died.

NOT READY 70 MOURN.
Bride Was Thinking OF Anything But
Mournino Garments

The pretty bride met so many ladies
ct the reception given by her hus-
bands cousin to introduce her that it
was impossible to keep up with them,
and SO when the ball boy ts:ephoned
up to know whether she vas at home
to Mrs. James or Miss Richards she
always said she was, and took it for
granted they were family friends.
A Mrs. Martin was announced in
this way, and little Mrs. Anderson re-
ce1ved the stranger with a cordial
gayety and began to chat to her Of
teas and matinees. Mrs. Martin was
dismal person in rusty black and did
not seem to respond to merriment.
The bride racked her brain for CONVEX
sation and the guest eyed her with
growing disfavor. Finally the out.
burst came when Mrs. Anderson said:
Il met you at Mrs. Towne's recep-
ton. Of course, didn't l? ind it so
hard to connect names with faces, but
! hope"
The visitor rose and broke in:
mo, you did not meet me at any re-
ception. and l must say l am sur
pr1sed to ind you like this. I've been
In the business on and on for twenty
years. and never saw one take it Sc
light as you d. l answer your note
to call and talk over mourning for
your husbands funeral, and you tell
me about the thesavter last night"
When the br!os TAD sufficiently re-
covered from bor shock she took the
note the other ks;d out. It was signed
Mrs. Sanderson and was written from
the apartment just overhead, whero
there had been q death the day be.
