DEATHLESS

Tn,re lies in the center OF each mans
heart
A longing and love for the good and
pure;
And if but one atom or larger part,
| tell YOU this shall endure, endure,
After the body has gone To decay,
Yea. after the world has passed away
I'll e longer live and the more see
OF the struggle Of souls towards the
heights above,
Tie stronger this truth comes home to
me,
That the universe rest on the shoulders
OF love.
4 love so limitless. deep and broad.
That men have renamed it and called
it-God.
And nothing that ever was born or
evolved
Nothing created by light or force,
But deep in its system there lies dis
solved
4 shining drop from the Great Love
Source;
4 shining drop tha' shall live for aye
Though Kingdoms may perish and
stars decay.

the Utes.
ASHLAND IS The PLACE
THE REDS ARE HuRRYlNG ALONG
AND WILL REACH BIRNEY TO-
NIGHT-coLoNEL AUGUR AND
HIS, FORCES ARE TWENTY FOUR
HOURS BEHIND THE BAND.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct 31.-The Utes
have crossed the Wyoming line and
are apparently making for Ashland,
appointed as a meeting place with the
Cheyennes.
They are going down Hanging Wo-
man creek and will reach it's mouth on
the Tongue river, near Birney prob
ably tonight.
The troops under Colonel Augur, left
Sheridan today, but will not be able
to reach Birney before tomorrow night.
Unless the Utes are headed off by
troops coming overland from Fort
Keogh, they may join the Cheyennes
Friday night.
The Fort Keogh troops are expected
at Ashland tonight. Two additional
companies Of Fort Mackenzie infantry
will be started from here tomorrow
An effort is being made to mount
them.
Ranchmen living near Ashland, ar
irving here today, says the report that
all the Cheyenne warriors are at work
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad construction is a mistake. The
ranchmen say the tribe would muster
600 armed and mounted warriors.

finished when the court took a recess,
The counsePs presentation of the
case of the plaintiff constitutes the
complete and pitiful story of the wreck
of her married life, due primarily to
the counts inordinate extravaganza.
Even in spite of her domestic infe-
licity the countess was too good and
scrupulous to begin an action for di-
vorce until she possessed full proof.
She was only 20 when she was mar
rined in 1895 and Maitre Cruppi assert
ed the happiness of the honeymoon
was disturbed on their arrival in Paris
by the counts demands for money.
The countess income was then
$700,000 and the count allowed her
$50 pin money.
The court room was crowded
Among those present were many
members of the American colony.
M Cruppi read passionate extracts
from one of the love letters fixing a
rendezvous at Dijon II read: Il am
kissing you on the neck. Do you feel
it?" and SO on.
The counsel also detailed liasons
with Madame b." and Madame c.
whom the count met in apartments
which he rented in different parts of
Paris.
Cruppi had not finished his presenta-
tion of the case when the hearing was
adjourned until next week.

TOTTEN is NAILED
MAYvILLE DEMOCRATIC ORATOR
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
His Statement Regarding Expenditures
for the North Dakota National Guard
Was Entirely Without Foundation
State Militia in Splendid Shape.

Bismarck. n. D., Oct. 3O.-To The
Forum: | noticed in The Grand Forks
Times that young attorney named
Totten stated in a speech at New
Rockford, that /, as adjutant general,
paid the railroad companies $4,000 for
transporting the national guard to
Camp Islay. In reply / desire to say
that the war department. paid for this
transportation at rates fixed by the
government. that the state did not pay
or handle / cent. Col Frank p Allen
was distributing officer for the war
department. (not the state) and paid
the command as provided by u. S.
army regulations, said disbursement
being approved by the secretary of
war, and a matter with which the gov
ernor or myself had nothing to do.
The war department also paid the
command per diem allowance as pro-
yided by law, and the state did not
contribute | cent to this trip.
When Governor Saries became gov
ernor there was a deficit OF some ST.
900 in the militia fund created by
Governor White, which he, White, was
not to blame for, as he had to erect
buildings on the military encampment
ground, absolutely needed.
Governor Sarles has wiped out this
deficit of $1,000, and there is now to
the credit Of the militia fund some $S,-
600. notwithstanding the fact that the
national guard have received new hats
and caps and khaki uniforms costing
some $4,000, SO that since Governor
Sarles has been in Office he has par
TALLY equipped the guard with expens-
i've clothing including chambray shirts
and half new blue dress uniform and
also has on hand a large amount of
ammunition, no small item in military
maintenance.
Totten's statement must make a SOL
dierly fairminded man like Colonel
Hildreth of your city, blush The ma
tlonal guard never in the history OF
this state was as well off financially
as today.

Attorney-Liasons of the Count

Paris, Oct 31-The Castellane di7
vorce case was heard this afternoon
before M. Henry Ditte, president of
the tribunal of the first instance of
the Seine. Neither the count nor the
countess were present. Maitre Crup-
pi, for the countess, pleaded for di-
vorce upon documentary evidence
submitted to the court.
In an extended review the counsel
declared that the countess at the be-
ginning of the suit was not acting un-
der influence but solely for the pur-
pose of ending forever the peril of the
moral desolation of her household. He
explained the marriage contract by
which a regime of separation Of prop
erty was established from the very
beginning and stated that the domes-
tic difficulties are over the question
of money. Ill treatment soon followed
the count even striking the plaintiff
before the servants. When he reache-
ed the question of infidelity charged
against the count, Maitre Cruppi did
not dare mention the names or even
the initials, designating the co-re-
spondents as Madame A" Madame

tess be given the custody of the three
children.

FULLER ON "sIMPLlFIED."
Chief Justice Evidently Does Not En-
thuse Over Latest Roosevelt Fad.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The question
of the propriety of using the modified
spelling in accordance with the order
of the president, was incidentally rais-
ed today in the supreme court of the
United States. The case under con-
sideration was that of Dalcour against
the United States and Solicitor Gen
eral Hoyt was engaged in presenting
the governments side In his argu-
ment he had occasion to refer to a
long quotation in his brief from a de-
cision of the court rendered some years
ago by Justice Bradley in which the
word through was spelled thru"
Chief Justice Fuller held a copy of the
brief i'm his hand and when the word
was reached Interrupted Mr.. Hoyt with
question as to whether the extract
was intended to be quotation from
Justice Bradley's official opinion In
all except the spelling" replied Mr..
Hoyt. "Ah," significantly responded
the chief justice with an inteTogative
infection that caused a general smile
through the courtroom.
