VERY SUDDEN
DEATH
l.7
Young Mother Called at Birth Of Little
One. Mrs. F. A. Maxwell, Wife Of
Well.Known Railroad Man, Passed
Away at II O'clock This Afternoon.

At the residence of o. d. Frazee at
S05 South Third street this morning
there occurred the saddest death that
we have had to chronicle in q long
time, that of Matte McGrew Maxwell,
beloved wife of F. A Maxwell, chief
dispatcher of the Great Northern Of
fees in this city.
Since early yesterday morning Mrs.
Maxwell's life was despaired of yet
the husband hoped to the last that she
would rally. She was taken Suddenly
Ill Saturday evening and early Sun
day morning gave birth to a beautiful
baby boy for whom she gave her life.
Besides this, she leaves a little son
aged two years to mourn the loss of
a mother he will hardly remember,
the sorrowing young husband, her
parents, two sisters and brother.
The immediate cause of death was an
abscess forming on the brain caused
by the absorption in the system of
poison from the irregular action of the
kidneys. After taking i'll Saturday
evening she never regained. conscious
ness and died at IL o'clock this morn
ing.
Six years ago as Miss McGrew, Mrs.
Maxwell came from her home in Lin
coin, Neb., to Larimore, N. D., to teach
and there met Mr.. Maxwell and the
following year they were married.
With the exception Of short time in
Crookston they resided in Larimore
until the coming of the Great Northern
division headquarters to this city when
they moved here.
Mrs. Maxwell was born In Mendon,
ILL.,, and was twenty-eight years of
age. When young girl she moved
with her parents to Lincoln, Neb. She
was a splendid Christian character, a
devoted wife and mother and beloved
by a large circle of friends. Shortly
after her marriage she followed her
husband into the Episcopal church and
has been faithful and CONSTANT
member.
Her sister Mrs. Theodore Williams,
arrived this morning from Mankato,
Mimi. Her mother and Mr.. Maxwell's
mother will arrive this evening from
Chicago and Lincoln. Her sisters Miss
Lucretia McGrew and Mrs. C. E. Bogg
of Lincoln will come as soon as it is
determined when the funeral will take
place. and where she will be buried.
Her brother is at Cora, Wyo., ninety
miles from telegraph station and it
will take some time to hear from him.
The sorrowing young husband and
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in their terrible be-
reavement. Mr.. Maxwell is very popu-
lar on the Great Northern system and
all day messages Of sympathy have
poured in from officials and employees.
No arrangements have been made as
yet for the funeral.

THE PASSING OF
PUBLIC MEN
(Continued from page H.

for congressional candidates. Ger
tainly the Twenty-fifth district of New
York made no mistake when Lucius
Nathan Littauer was chosen to repre-
sent the counties of Fulton, Hamilton,
Montgomery. Saratoga and Warren.
The Seven Hour Idea.
At the end Of his term Mr.. Littauer
will have served ten years in congress
and during the greater portion of that
period he has been a member of the
important committee on appropria-
tons. In handling appropriation bills
on the floor Of the house Mr.. Littauer
has shown very clearly the character
istics which have made him one of the
most successful business men in the
country. He conducts his private bust
ness at long range and is as closely
in touch with the markets of Egypt
when he buys his raw material as he
is with the affairs before the commit
tee of which he is one of the most val
ued members.
1t is because he devotes sixteen
hours out of every twenty-four to pri-
vate and public business that he has
little sympathy with the howl for
shorter hours-seven day is the rule
for clerks in the executive depart
ments In the hearings before the
committee preliminary to the con-
struction of the various bills for the
support of the government Mr.. Lit
tauer has borne the brunt of the work
of examining the witnesses. 1t is due
to him, more than any other man, that
the annual appropriations have been
pruned and that hundreds of thous-
ands Of dollars will be saved during
the next fiscal year. In other words,
he has endeavored to instill into the
federal departments some of the meth
DDS which are necessary to the sue
cessful conduct Of private business
enterprise. On the floor of the house
he has demonstrated his ability as a
debater and no member, whatever his
training as an examiner or an advo-
cate, has ever shown better general
ship in handling bill.
Personally Mr.. Littauer is one of the
most popular members of the New
f. York delegation. He is cordially liked
by all of his colleagues and the an
nouncement Of his determination to re-
tire has caused sincere and deep re-
greet from one end of the state to the
other.
There will be others to go, but the
most prominent slated for retirement
are the four "big ones," Grosvenor,
Hit, Sibley and Littauer.

PEOPLE WANT BALL TEAM.
NJ. Stanchfield Believes That Grand
Forks Will Get Rusx.

When shown the telegram from Du-
luth relative to the consolidation of
the Northern and Copper Country
Baseball leagues, M. Stanchfleld said:
Il am glad to hear that the league
has been saved from an untimely dis
ruption. l further believe that now
the people of Grand Forks will get
busy and make arrangements for a
team. 1t is high time that something
was being done If we have team in
the new league.
Il believe that the people of the
city want team and the moment
some one takes the initiative, there
will be an organization effected local
ly which will mean a team here
There is some talk in the city today
that F. ]. Dudley will take the Grand
Forks team but as Mr.. Dudley is out
of town, 1t is not known whether he
would be willing to go into the mat
ter. w. H. Mcneil is being talked of
and it is understood that M. Stanch-
field will be willing to turn over his
franchise to him. 1t is probable that
a local organization will take definite
form in the near future.

drives to the capitol and deposits fifty
gallons of the finest, plumpest oys-
tiers from the celebrated beds of Lynn

night before and shipped on the boat
to the men of the press gallery. Mr..
Libbey hasn't missed this treat for

every winter when every newspaper

operator in the capitol has a surfeit
of Virginia bivalves.

from a ten days trip to Kansas City,

While in Kansas City Mr.. Webster met
Charles McManus, who is we'll known
in Grand Forks and who worked here
for the International Harvester peo-
pie. He has better position with the
same company in Kansas City and is
enjoying life. He sent his regards to
all of his Grand Forks friends.
Mr.. McManus was full of the present
mayoralty campaign and could find
time to talk of but little else. He ex-
pressed his regret that he was not
here to vote for his old time friend,

GRAND FORKS WILL
BEN NORTHERN
LEAGUE
If the Baseball Magnates Can
Patch Up a League Grand
Forks Will Be In.

There is no question in the minds
of the fans Of Grand Forks but that
If the magnates of the Northern Base
ball league manage to patch up affairs
and keep the organization intact, that
Grand Forks will be there with team.
In fact. number Of prominent bust
ness men and fans have made such a
pledge to w. H. Mcneil and asked him
to have an eye on any baseball ma
terial which might be lying around
loose.
If the league is saved. az it undoubt-
eddy will be, Mr.. Mcneil will have
charge of the team, is the present pro-
gram is carried out, and will get busy
at once and get the best bunch of
players available.
That there has been no public meet
Ing arises from the fact that a holly
contested municipal election is on and
that it is thought best to avoid public
meetings until after the election, two
weeks from today. However, a num-
Der of fans. with plenty of money back
of them. have had an understanding
with w. II. Mcneil who managed the
Crookston team last year, and he has
consented to get team together and
run things for Grand Forks this year.
In any event, he will assist in getting
team together and will begin work
the moment it is ascertained that the
league will continue.
Billy Hanrahan, one of the old time
stars of Grand Forks, when questioned
yesterday by an Evening Times man,
said that he had not promised to play
with the Grand Forks team this year
but probably would If good team was
organized. He is confident that a team
will be playing in the Northern league
from Grand Forks this season the
same as in the past.
,tBy an Associated Press dispatch to
The Evening Times this afternoon it
will be seen that this forecast. written
by local reporter. was correct in its
presumptions.-Ed.l

BY Rustum and sprang out of bed.

new OUTLET FOR.
WHEAT Of NORTH
DAKOTA
Great Northern and Canadian
Pacific viii Find Outlet to
Hudson Bay.

II present plans Of the Canadian
Northern railway are carried out, it
is said that within two years time the
line will be extended to Hudson's Bay.
and new route to Europe will then
be provided which will bring the great
wheat lands Of central North America
much nearer to England, in trans
portation sense, than they have ever
been before, possibly diverting much
wheat in that direction that would
otherwise be transported down the
Great Lakes.
1t has been positively asserted that
the Canadian Northern intends to con-
struct this year the first link in the
Hudson's bay line by building an ex-
tension ninety-two miles long from
Etoimian, on the Prince Albert branch,
northeast to Pas. The extension will
tap the Carrop river country. consid-
cred one of the best wheat regions in
all Canada.
Next year probably the extension
will go through to Fort Churchill on
the west coast Of Hudson's bay. From
Prince Albert the distance to Liver
pool, via the Canadian Northern and
Hudson's bay will be but 500 miles
longer than from New York. which is
$500 miles or more east of the wheat
raising states and provinces. The new
route In other words. would save up
wards of 1000 miles of carriage,
For what proportion of the year the
Hudson's bay route can be 'navigated
is still a question. First class steam
ships have not tested the possibilities.
But the management of the Canadian
Northern road are convinced that
their marine connections will be able
to maintain joint service during six
months out of twelve. This belief is
based upon the experience of the sail
ing vessels that have made the pas
sage on behalf of the Hudson's Bay
company throughout the last two CEN
turtles.
The general impression that the
Great Northern road is closely asso-
ciated with Canadian Northern sys-
tenn, supplies. no doubt, the basis for
the report prevalent last year that
James ]. Hill intended to construct a
line to Hudson's bay.
The Canadian Northern's trains will
enter Prince Albert within month.
On the main line, which now reaches
Edmonton, two extensions, each Of
twenty-five miles. vii tlbe built this
season. One will go north towards
Athabasca Landign, eighty miles dis
tant. and the other will 60 west in the
direction Of the Pacific coast terminus
that is the logical end of the Canadian
Northern system. From Athabasca
Landing navigation is possible as far
as the Arctic ocean.
