Brands Story Told By Father as
False.
ALWAYS BELIEVED She WAS DEAD
FINALLY BECOMING SUSPICIOUS,
STARTS IN SEARCH WITH
HAPPY RESULTS.

FARGO. N. D., Oct. 31.-There was
a happy reunion when A. G. Miller, a
young man of this city, found his
mother. For twenty years young Miller
had been told by his father that mis-
mother was dead. He always doubted
the story, but was never able to secure
any tangible clue. About month ago
he started an investigation which led
to his locating his mother.
It appears that G. A. Miller lived
with his wife in Garden City, Mimi,
up to twenty years ago, when he left
her and took possession of the boy.
Soon afterwards he located in Fargo
with the child and always said his
wife was dead. After her desertlon
divorce was secured and she married
a man named Lefever.
Young Miller was a soldier in the
Philippines and then a policeman, and
is now a brakeman on the Northern
Pacific, running out of Fargo. He is
planning to bring his mother to Fargo
and make a home for her.

Mrs. Obert opened the front door of
the house she was driven back by a
strong odor of gas. After a moment
she and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Nc
Kinnon, who returned from Canistota
with her, entered the house and found
Mr.. Obert sitting in rocking chair
stiff and cold in death.
He was found dressed, including his
hat. One Of the burners of the gas
stove was found fully turned on, but
not lighted, with newspaper over the
burner. In his right hand the dead
man grasped a newspaper. One theory
is that Mr. Obert accidentally turned
on the gas burner by carelessly BRUSH
ing against it. and that while reading
fell asleep and was asphyxiated.

Two of a Kind.

A clergyman in Allentown, Pa, is
said to be the homliest man in the
state. He was once thus accosted in
the street by a rather disreputable
looking person:
you're a minister, amt you?"
81 am sir" responded the other.
with an effort to control his disgust at
this very familiar air.
"Then, would you mind comm
home with me to see my wife,"
The clergyman smothering his natur-
al desire to deny the request, consent
ed to accompany the man. When the
two arrived, the man, who had crowd
ed into the house ahead of the clergy
man, pointed to the astonished preach
er and, with a broad grin of delight,
said emphatically:
"Now, look here, Mary. You've
been telling me for years that I was
the ugliest man in Pennsylvania. For
heavens sake, just take a look at
this old Acknowledgements.

MOVING PICTURES CAUSE Crime
Epidemic Breaks Out at Appleton,
Wis.,, After Show Comes to
Town.

APPLETON, Wis, Oct. 31.-Ffve
holdups occurred in this city and vi
cinity this week, the most daring one
last night on the Neenah road, and the
police think it is an organized gang
of young men who have taken to the
life through ideas suggested from the
moving pictures" in a local vaude-
vile house where such scenes are por-
trayed on the canvass every evening.
The work is amateurish in the ex-
IRENE, as the most valuable articles
are overlooked.
Edward Clark and Clarence F'rie-
berg were intercepted on the Neenan
road last night and Clark lost his
pocketbook, containing $25, and his
watch to five masked and armed rob-
bers. Frieberg cut for the woods and
escaped.
The wife of a dentist, Mrs. G. E.
Wilson, was grabbed Tuesday evening
and robbed of her purse. A 500 dia-
mond ring on her ungloved hand was
overlooked. Three others, Margaret
Rand, Jennie Loan and Mrs. George
Frank, were grabbed in dark places,
but did not have their purses with
them and were released.

Was TRAMPLEO BY CATTLE
Calvin Aak Terribly Injured in
Mckee Valley.
IS KNOCKED DOWN AND GoRED
WILD HERD CHARGES BOYS WHO
ESCAPE WITH Diff
GUILTY.

YAKIMA, Oct. 31.-As result of an
attack by herd of cattle in the Mckee
valley Monday night Calvin Hakk sus-
tanned serious injuries which NAV
prove fatal. His right arm was brok-
en-, shoulder dislocated, and the flesh
gored and lacerated. An Infatuated
bull bore him to the ground and had
not his brothers been presen. would
have unquestionably killed the young
man.
1t was about $50 p. m. last evening
when Calvin Hakk and his brothers
Fred and Frank were on their way
home walking down the main road of
the valley about seven miles from
town. They are the sons of Mrs. G..
w. Randolph and live on the Burnell
place near the Jacobson ranch.
1t was dark, and before they were
aware of their precarious situation a
herd of cattle probably 80 Or more, had
surrounded them and were believing
and paving the earth.
Charge the Men.
The young men yelled at the stock
and picked up stones and threw at
them, but instead of driving the cattle
off as they expected to do the ami
mails became Infatuated and charged
upon the men with heads lowered. Not
anticipating any trouble when they
first encountered the herd it did not
occur to them to take to the fence and
let the cattle pass. Such a thing as
being attacked by supposedly tame
cattle in this day and time has never
been heard of.
Calvin Caught.
Fred and Frank managed to get
through the fences, but their brother
Calvin was charged by a monster bull
with horns. The boy who is about
20 years of age, was knocked to the
ground The bull then attempted to
gore him, but luckily did not get his
horns fixed in the body of the young
man. One horn caught him in the arm
and the other sank deep into the earth
beside him.
Fred and Frank climbed back
through the fence when they saw their
brother fall, and with rocks and clubs
succeeded in beating off the bull, while
the other cattle stood near threatening
to charge.
They finally freed the young man
from the fury Of the bull, and got him
through the fence into the field.

ssventy-Three Days with Death.

The first detailed account of Peary's
record-making expedition, published by
the Herald this morning. while some
what meagre of scientific detail, sets
forth in a very striking manner the
almost insurmountable difficulties of
travel in these high regions The safe
returns of an expedition such as that
carried northward in the Roosevelt
last summer is, even under such CON
summate and expert leadership as
that of Peary, almost miraculous
To stumble and crawl over an I'M
known sea, covered with broken, tan
gled masses of floating ice separated
in all directions by stretches of black
water, which leads" close and open
upon no understandable system; to
push steadily forward knowing that
return may be impossible: to wander
for some seventy-odd days, as did
Peary, over this arctic waste of shift
ing Ice. and then to get back to solid
land again with only some dogs miss
ing-is a wonderful illustration of
what human intelligence and preserva-
ton can accomplish.
One cannot but feel, however, that
despite intelligence and experience and
the best of equipment and leadership,
safe return from such an expedition
is largely a matter of chance. Condi-
lions against which no human power
could avail might have doomed the
while party to determination. In view
of the constant series of gales which
prevailed not only during the sledge
expedition over the ice but also when
the Roosevelt was making her north
ing, it seems justifable to assume
that the record of 81 degrees and 6
minutes might have been considerably
exceeded If weather conditions had
been more favorable.
The sledge party was delayed many
days by binding storms and turned
back where it did. not because of any
new or insurmountabIe obstacles, but
for fear the supply Of provisions would
not be sufficient to provision the re-
treat if any further advance was at
| tempted.-New York Globe.

the market inclined to weakness. There
was quite a little selling pressure
placed upon the market by traders who

from yesterday; northwestern receipts
about what the trade expected; cash sit

wonders that men noted for their hon
orable dealing in private life should
consent to be a party to such a thing
There has come up in recent months
and years a large demand for better
conduct IN public affairs. The demand
is general. 1t runs not merely to pro-
lection of the people against the pre-
datory classes, but a desire that our
whole public life should be elevated
to plane that shall win the general
respect; that incumbents should so
their trust as to dignity it. It must
follow logically that this implies clean
conduct throughout Burke said
There never was a bad man that had
ability for good service" 1t is diff
cult to argue lofty standards for men
that in their official capacity will set
TO work to constitute a ''plunderbund"
Of useless hangers on, each getting a
little, the aggregate making a serious
sum taken from the taxpayers.
None Of these men placed in charge
of a private enterprise would begin
his administration OF it with an EFFORT
to see how many useless employees he
could stow away on the pay roll. Yet
such has been the normal course of
procedure with state legislatures. 1t
is a hopeful sign if the progress of re-
form has quickened the sense Of de-
cency and obligation; so that in a pub
lie capacity there shall be a standard
of self-respect that would as a matter
Of course prevail in private conduct.
No better beginning could be made
than for the senate to take its stand
in the sight of the public as a body
with a sense of honor too clean to
countenance the establishment of an
employment agency for party hacks.
The smaller, the more picayunish the
purpose, the less excuse there is for
tolerating it. a radical refusal to
have no part nor lot in such things
would go far 10 win in advance the
respect and confidence of the people

TO KEEP MARRIAGE SACRED.

The .Elks of Richmond did a good

quest of ministers that a spectacular
wedding be omitted from their carni-

greatly in public esteem during recent
years, and in this action, as in others.

of decorum Everything that organi-
the sacredness of the marriage vow
and the solemnity of the wedding cere-

The vogue of divorce is due to moth
Ing else more than to the low esteem
In which marriage is held by numbers
of our citizens-an estimate which is
reflected in riotous ceremonies in pub
lie or private, hippodrome weddings
and scandalous charivaris. Marriage is
not a lark, or a vehicle for the display
of wealth or the suitable occasion for
hilarious sport and ribald Jest.
There is no sweeter or more sacred
thing in life than the union of a good
man to an innocent, loving girl Many
of the uproarious weddings that event
ually issue in divorce, or mutual toll
Grafton of immortality that is perhaps
worse than divorce, are but trayesties
on this ideal union. The clergy OF
other cities as we'll as Richmond can
honor their cloth in no more praise

marriages by every means at their
command Divorce itself can be eff

There was nothing particularly bear

However, the bull enthusiasm seems to
have abated in a measure and in its
stead a disposition to take profits ap-

nounced than any day during the pres
ent week St. Paul opened around
