dy variety, and into it Stephens and
Linton the authors, have injected some
of the essence of ginger and originality
which is necessary to make this sort
of piece a success. AS the title sug-
gests, my Wife's Family is the
story of a husband with a charming
wife, but whose charms are dimmed by
the fact that she has too many rela-
tons who always visit her. Feeling
that he could once more be happy
could he get rid of the horde Of rela-
tives, the young husband enlists the
aid of a friend, Doc Knott, and the
two start in on their crusade. They
are successful at last, of course, but
not until there have occurred in rapid
succession innumerable hair breadth
escapes and embarrassing mistakes.
Worked into and around all this mix
up there are musical numbers and
dances, and all sorts of amusing and
interesting variations. my Wife's
Family" is, in short, one of the most
varied and pleasing affairs ever con-
ceived for amusement purposes.

Waq Michael De lauro Got Away IS
Quite Sensational.
WAS sECRETED IN HOME OF CouNTRYMEM
ASSISTED BY FRIENDS TO OCEAN
LINER BY MEANS OF
BEER BARREL.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Michael dc
Lauro's escape from the law, wher
sought for the murder Of Frank Ros-
so, of West Park, last summer, as
appears from the disclosures Of Nep-
tune township official, was more SEN
sational and mysterious than many
episodes in the most sensational nov
els. De Lauro was accused Of muir
dering Frank Rosso as the result Of q
love affair in which the two men were
rivals. After the murder De Lauro
disappeared and. although detectives
and a posse secured the country for
miles, the hiding place of the muir
derer was never discovered.
1t appears now from the story of
the township official that De Lauro
on the night of the murder, was Sc
GREETED in the house of a countryman.
At break of day he was taken to the
sand hills of West park and literally
buried in a deep gully at the side of
a hill Here he remained for a week,
being provided with provisions and
water. On the seventh day after the
De Lauro was placed in an
empty beer barrel and driven aboard
the steamship Mary E. Patton, of the
Pleasure Bay line.
When the steamer reached the pier
in New York, the barrel, with it's hui
man freight, was driven to the dock
of an outgoing Italian steamer bound
for Naples There it was carefully
lowered into the hold and, as the lights
of Sandy Hook grew dim, the suspect
ed murderer was released from his
hiding place and, mingling with his
companions, was granted freedom and
a rousing welcome by his rescuers. He
is now. it is said, living peacefully in
Italy, undisturbed by fear of the law

IS new FORM Of INSANITY
Specialists Interested in Question Of
SPEEDING Automobiles.
BELIEVES THAT DRIVERS ARE CRAZY
THIS is DEFENSE TO BE OFFER
ED IN CASE IN LOUISIANA
COURT.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April %
Specialists on insanity throughout the
country are greatly Interested in the
question of speed insanity" new
form of insanity which is believed to
have been evolved from the habit Of
excessively speeding by automobiles.
The matter first came to public no.
tice through suit in which it was
sought to compel an insurance COM
pany to pay the full amount of the
insurance in the case of a policy hold
q who was killed by an accident while
speeding In his automobile. The Ocean
-Accluent insurance company refused
to pay a large policy on the death of
M. L. Hancock, who was killed in an
automobile accident in Los Angeles,
CAL. several months ago, on the
ground that the company cannot nav
q claim on an automobilist, as most
of them are monomaniacs on the oues-
ton Of speeding their machines and
therefore. the company is not respon-
sible.
In it's answer to the suit, which
was filed, the company asserted that
the man who was killed was practi-
cally insane on the question of snaed
and that it should not be held liable
for deaths resulting from the actions
OF person temporarily insane. In the
same answer the company asks that If
it should be held liable it should he
for only half the amount. The COM
pany also holds that it's liability 10
if the insured engages in any
hazardous employment, and this. IT 20
asserted. covers automobiling. MANY
are inclined to share tho
opinion that it is really a form of IN.
sanity which is developed in automo-
oilists addicted to speeding.

LONDON, April pa proposal to
hold a worlds fair here in 1908 was
submitted last night to the house of
commons by Mr. Fell. 1t drew an ex-
preston of doubt from Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman, prime minister,
as to whether the commercial COM
munity would welcome such a fair
He said he was willing to consider
any evidence in favor of it, but many
preliminary matters would have to be
considered before the government
would decide to support such a move
ment financially as Mr. Fell had sug-
gested.
The incident has started a newspa-
per discussion as to the desirablility
of holding a fair Opponents of the
scheme believed that displays of Brit

manufacturers closer in competing

The price of wheat and fax is on
the rise. Just as soon as the ma
chimes began to tell the correct
story and the great dailies of the
country came down on the esti-
mates, prices went up. It will be
remembered that during the time
that Jones, the great and infallible
estimator, was running around the
country, wildly fixing the number
of bushels of grain to be garnered
in North Dakota, prices dropped
and the poor farmer who could not
hold his grain until the machines
told the true story, was the looser
thereby. Now that the true story
has been told, the farms are get
ting a higher price for their grain.

In this issue will be found the
ferry rates and they will be found
to be just as cheap as it is possible
to make them, consistent with
good service. The business men
of Washburn have had to dig deep
into their pockets in order to build
the boat to get the people
from our neighboring county across
the river. The ferry proposition
has cost money and will cost con-
siderable to operate. It is not the
intention of the ferry corporation
to charge no more than just what
will pay the operating expenses
and wear and tear on the boat and
machinery. This is fair and rea-
sonable. It is not a money making
scheme, but the means whereby
those who live on the other side
Of the river will be put in close
touch with the markets and ship
ping facilities.

Start the Campaign.

Monday, Oct. 8, will mark the
reopening of the political cam
paign SO far as the republicans of
North Dakota are concerned. On
that date, with brass band music,
speech making and all other prop
er accompaniment. the campaign
of 1906 will be inaugurated stimuli
taneously in Fargo, Grand Forks,
Jamestown, Bismarck and prob
ably Minot. According to the
plans which have been made the
campaign this year is to be short
and incisive. Executive Secretary
Foley Of the republican state cen
trail committee is in this city today
and with Secretary Van Horn of
the county committee has been
busy all day arranging the sched-
ule of speeches to be made during
the campaign. The schedule has
not yet been completed as all the
speakers have not been communi-
Gated with but it is thought it will
be properly arranged within a few
days.
The committee has not yet re-
ceived any word from Senator
Beveridge and so is not yet ready
to announce that the eloquent
hoosier will speak here, though
they feel we'll assured of it. The
same conditions exist relative
to the coming of Congressman j.

Demand For Public Lands.

Although there is not great
deal of the remaining public do
main that is particularly desirable
for agriculture, the demand for
what is left continues good. It
appears that the last fiscal year
was one of the busiest in the his
tory of the government land SER
vice. More cash was taken in and
more patents were issued than in
any year for some time.
The cash receipts from all
sources amounted to over seven
and half million dollars and final
entries and selections were made
to the number of $4,000. Sixty
thousand land patents of all classes
were issued during the year.
The public land available for
profitable cultivation are thus be-
ing rapidly taken up and the ex-
haustion of the supply can be q
matter of only a few years. When
that time comes there will ensue a
larger demand for lands of private
ownership, SO that half a century
hence most of the great single
farms at present will have been
divided up, with the necessary re-
suit of materially increasing pro-
duction, since many Of these large
farms are now only partially Guilt
waited.
Another effect will be to advance
the price of good lands generally
and probably to restore to cultiva-
ton millions of acres that at pres
ent are -productive.-Ex.

Judicial InQiSCpeti0n.

In a signed statement explain
ing the reasons for his absence
from the session of the supreme
court at Fargo Judge Engerud
passes upon the qualifications of
Judge Knauf as entirely insufhci-
ent for a Judge of the supreme
court of this state. Naturally
there will be difference of opin-
ion through the state as to Judge
Engerud's right, as a judge Of the
court, to pass upon the qualifca-
tions Of another Judge, chosen by
a convention Of republicans and
by the same kind of convention by
which Judge Engerud was chosen.
But aside from the opinion of
Judge Engerud as to the qualifca-
tons Of Judge Knauf would it not
seem that, believing as Judge
Engerud does that the court is in
danger Of lowering Of it's high
standard, it was his especial duty
in this time Of stress, to have at
tended all sessions of the court
and by his presence have treasured
the people of the state and con-
WINGED them that the judges of the
court are at all times responsive to
their duty under the law and that
if it was in the power of any judge
to prevent, no lowering Of the high
standard of the court would be
permitted. We believe Judge
Morgan is as keenly alive to his
duties as any officer Of the state
and he found no necessity to alb.
sent himself from a stated session
Of the court. It was stated some
time ago that Judge Engerud's OBJ
lection to Judge Knauf was per-
sonal and for that reason he would
not sit with him. We are
glad to lean now that there was
nothing personal in the objection
and that the question Of personal
unftness does not enter into the
controversy. It seems difficult to
believe, however, that Judge Enge-
rud absented himself from term
of supreme court because he be-
lieved one Of the judges chosen to
sit with him was not we'll qualified
from a legal standpoint. It would
seem that this would have been
the greater reason for his presence
and for the benefit of his superior
experience and knowledge.-Bis-
marck Tribune.

MURDERED.
A Railroader is Murdered by 8
Companion.

Last Saturday camp No. 10,
located near the Ward county line,
was the scene ola. brutal murder,
in which Donald Stimaleck, an
Austrian, was killed during quar-
rel in the camp. The man was
struck on the head with blunt in
strument and death resulted, the
body being found the following
morning. States Attorney Nuessle
DR.. Sawyer and deputy sheriff
Seltz went up and held an inquest.
The jury brought in a verdict that
the man came to his death at the
hands of some person unknown by
being struck on the head with a
blunt instrument.
A suspect was arrested and is
now in Jail, These people are
from a province in Austria and can
understand no English, and it is
hard to secure some one to speak
the language.
It is said that the camp is To-
Gated near the new town of Ruso
and that the quarrel was the out
come of drinking bout. The
murdered man and the suspect ar
rested were engaged in railroad
work. It is impossible to get any
evidence in the case until an in
terpeter can be secured.

North Dakota Exhibit
Make a Hit in the East

Great is North Dakota! Ii
never before the thousands who
have seen that states exhibit on
the fair grounds this week, take
their hats off to her mighty re-
sources. The exhibit, located on
the north front of Floral hall, has
the most extensive display of cere-
ais, fruits and other products of
the soil that Walworth county fair
patrons have ever seen. It is in
charge of w. G. Gilbreath, COM
missioner, and wheat, oats, rye,
corn and speltz, comparatively
new grain to Wisconsin farmers,
and alfalfa, all gathered from with
in the borders of North Dakota
speak for themselves as to what
the farmers can do there. The ex-
hibit, which is flanked by fine
array of Indian bead and buckskin
work and taxidermy, is neat
ly displayed and is one of the at.
fractions of "fair week"
Crops are good and have been
good in North Dakota. Macaroni
wheat, so extensively grown in
some portions of the state is yield
ing from Is to 30 bushels per acre.
The blue stem and red fife are
averaging Is to l6 bushels while
barley and speltz are excellent.
North Dakota farmers are claim
ing great things for speltz. It is
a great horse feed, a hardy, sure
crop and frequently yielding from
40 to so bushels per acre. It is
also being used extensively by con-
fectiners, the speltz -four being
particularly adopted to this line of
business. In looks it resembles
barley and fair visitors should
make a point to look over this
speltz exhibit. "North Dakota is
Aourishing," remarked Mr.. Gil
breath to the independents repre-
preventative yesterday. "The
wheat yield in 1906 will be. ac-
cording to the most conservative
estimates lOO,OOO,OOO blu s h e Is.
