Arvilla Meeting.

The meeting at Arvilla last night
was a rouser. The lall at that place
was packed and every available point
of standing room was utilized by the
voters who wanted to hear something
about the true condition Of the cam
paign. The speakers were Don Nc
Donald, republican candidate for coun-
ty treasurer, James Twamley and ].
D. Bacon. Every body talked In be-
half Of the straight ticket, and the
rounds of applause which greeted
every reference to this showed that
the people of Arvilla are not republic
can infidels. The efforts of the Her.
aid to induce the cutting of the ticket
which is being used by the democrats
on the county ticket to induce the
cutting Of the ticket for themselves
has aroused an indignation that is
said they were going to Mohall, but
at first inclined to consider voting for
Fisk and Burke will refuse to do SO.
They will not allow even their friend
ship for the democratic candidate for
supreme judge to be used to defeat
their friends on the county ticket.

Old Engine Doing Dray Work
for Mayor Duis Tips Over,
Boiler Breaking and Throw
ing scalding Steam Upon
Engineer Hallock, o. Olson,
r. Stiger and j. Newark.
ba0KEn AXLE SMO TO HAVE
CAUSED THE ACCIDENT
Three of the Victims Taken to
the Deaconess Hospital for
Their Injuries.

The breaking of an axle on a trac-
ton engine being used by Mayor Duis
in removing threshing engines from
the present quarters to the new loca-
ton at Walnut and Third streets, was
responsible for the running of the
boiler and the serious scalding of
Clarence Hallock, the engineer, and
the burning of the bystanders. The
engine which caused the trouble was
an old one, but was not thought to
be unsafe. It seems that 1t had been
stopped at the Great Northern tracks
to wait for freight to pass, and when
the power was applied to start it again.
the axle snapped and allowed the
engine to drop to the ground. This
broke the fire sheet inside the fire
box and the steam and hot water pour
ed through the fire box, blowing opel
the door and enveloping Hallock, who
was standing on the foot board, and
scalding him from the neck down. The
other two men were bystanders and
when the steam poured out of the
boiler they became enveloped and at
once started to get out of the way.
They ran into the train, which had
just passed, and came nearly being
killed by that. One of these, Olaf
Olson, lives at Fisher, Mimi, and had
come to the city today to pay Mr..
Duis bill which he owed. His left
leg was scalded from the knee down
and the right one from the hip down.
Two other men, John Newark and
Fred Stiger, were also scalded. Olson
was taken to DR.. Engstad's office,
where his burns were cared for, and
the others were removed to the
Deaconess hospital.
Clarence Hallock has been employed
by Mr.. Duis for six years, his parents
being residents of Brenna township.
Wilbur McCauley, who was guiding
the rear engine which was being
hauled out of the building, escaped
practically unhurt.
An inspection of the axle shows that
1t had been broken more than half
OF for some time, as the fracture was
badly corroded. 1t was impossible,
however, to have detected the same
and of course no blame can attach
to anyone.
The accident In one sense of the

At Last Nights Rally the Gov
ernor Placed Himself En-
phatically Upon Record in
Re the Prohibition Question
Will Veto Any Attempt to
Change the Law.
THE LEGISLATIVE RECORD OF
JOHN BURKE REVEALED
States Attorney e. &. Sinkler
on the Question Of In
surgentism.

Special to The Eveni.g Tines.
Mayville, N. D., Nov. IA rousing
republican meeting which called out
an attendance Of several hundred peo-
pie was held in this city last evening.
The rally was addressed by the COVER
nor himself and by States Attorney
E. X. Sinkler Of Grafton, Walsh coun-
ty. His excellency, the governor, was
the first to speak. He recounted some
thing Of the legislative history Of the
state, going back to the days when
John Burke. now democratic candi-
date for governor Of this great state,
was in the legislature and fighting for
the repeal Of that law which has given
this state reputation, national and
international. as being one of the FORE
most Christian commonwealth of the
world. Three times did this man
Burke exert his every power to defeat
the prohibition law.
During the course of his remarks
Governor Sarles expressed himself
emphattcally on the prohibition queS-
ton in the following words: There
shall be no repeal of the prohibition
law as long as l am the governor OF
this state, and IL any attempt 10 made
along these lines by the legislature, /
shall place the stamp Of my ohicial
disapproval thereupon, by the exer-
else of my right of Veto"
This statement elicNed great ap-
plause, and the governor was cheered
to the echo.
Again he said: Il intend to be the
governor of this state in every sense
of the word. and do not now nor will
not wear any mans collar"
The speaker held the attention Of
his hearers throughout the entire adj
dress, and at the conclusion he was
vociferously applauded.
States Attorney E. r. Sinkler of
Grafton. Walsh county, followed. Said
Mr.. Sinkler in part.
you gentlemen sSs.neighbors, know
Governor Sarles well: twenty-five
years of honest, upright action and
fair dealing among you, gives you a
guarantee Of his honesty, without a
label affixed by political conven-
ton. (Cheers)
Speaking OF the cause Of insurgent-
ism, Mr.. Sinkler referred to the fact
that this trouble within the republican
party had already been fought out;
that now with the democrats on the
scene and fighting for supremacy, all
republicans. whether stalwarts or In.
surgents, should stand shoulder 70
shoulder and fight the common enemy;
that it would be foolish now to desert
the party and turn It over to the demo-
Gratis whose power is now and always
has been menace to our county.

BiiOu Theatre.

The show at the Bijou was changed
last evening and again gave the usual
satisfaction. With the exception of "a
Corsican Chastisement" all of the
pictures are in a comic vein and
caused a great deal Of laughter. Mr..
Emmett again appeared in a new violin
act and held the close attention of the
audience in both his classic and comic
playing. He initiates pigs, chickens,
dogs, the wind blowing, pump and
various other sounds with a violin
with life-like fidelity. Miss DeRoche
is singing Down Where the Swaunee
River Flows" and last evening made
quite hit. A special children's matt
nee will be given Saturday.

THE HERALD LIES
DISGUST ABOUT
EVERYBODY
It's Misrepresentation of Facts
in Reporting All G. o. P.
Meetings.
BECOMING ACCOUNTABLE
Trouble is Failure of Cam
paign Funds Sufficient to
Satisfy Its Greed.
BECOMING ACCOUNTABLE

A prominent republican who has
been at many Of the republican meet
ings south Of this place, was seen by
an Evening Times representative i'll
reference to the reports of the Herald
that these meetings had been failures
and in substance he said:
Incidentally, the people are becom-
ing both amused and indignant at the
frantic efforts Of that sheet to create
an impression over the state that there
is even a mild enthusiasm exhibited
over the fast failing cause of Herald
ism. 1t reported that only few at
tended the Hatton meeting while as q
matter Of fact there were nearly 500
people in attendance. The town is
not a large one and when compared
with the icicle reception rendered the
democrats in the largest city in the
state last night there were less than
200 present, is not only source O.
amusement to the people who know
as every intelligent man does know,
the facts in the case. The Aneta
meeting was reported as a failure by
the democratic morning daily, while
the truth is there was not standing
room for those who attended. A demo-
crat who was present stated that there
were 800 people in the hall and packed
around the door so that they could
hear. The misrepresentation of the
Herald have made 1t laughing stock
in the places where the meetings are
held, while in the other places the
republicans are simply indignant at
the malicious statements made by a
paper which has always been paid a
good price for-its support of the re-
publican ticket in the past and which
refuses to support 1t now that the con-
nectiOn between the campaign funds
and its Golfers is broken.

From the opening of the doors at
o'clock this morning, a constant
stream Of people passed into the new
Ontario store, many of them coming
from a distance out Of town for thu.
occasion, which marked the twenty.
fifth anniversary establishment of the
business as we'll as the formal open
ing Of the new or greater Ontario
store, magnificent building, four
stories high and completed only this
fall. 1t is second to none between
the twin cities and the coast, either
in point of size, modern equipment
or lines of goods Carried.
Mr.. R. B. Griffith, the proprietor,
was at the main entrance to greet each
conner with cordial shake of the
hand. Many of these had been con-
slant customers since the beginning
of the business. nearly quarter of a
century ago. Strains Of music greeted
the ear and great vases of American
beauty roses on every hand gave one
the impression of entering one of the
magnificent dry goods emporiums of
the eastern cities.
The decorations throughout the store
were artistic. many arches and pillars
entwined with green foliage and yell
low crysanthemums. being used with
striking effect.
The windows were especially decor
ated for the occasion by experts and
presented n beautiful appearance.
Each lady was directed to the office
where she was presented with a dainty
and useful little souvenir, a small
round hand mirror, suitable for use
in the purse or opera bag.
If mans honor and integrity In
business is marked by the loyalty and
length of services Of his employee
more than by any other means then
that OF Mr.. Griffith can certainly be
considered Of the highest order. A

NOAH FORGED A CHECK
Man Named Noah, Arrested ut Devils
Lake, Claims to be Simple Minded.

A story comes from Devils Lake to
the effect that a man named d. Mean
was arrested there yesterday charged
with check forging. He drew a checl:
on the First National bank for $32 and
signed Mr.. Whittier the railway con-
tractor. He tried to get it cashed at
several different places. When arr est
ed letter was found in his pockets
postmarked Valley City, from which
1t appears that he forged a check for
q small amount at that place and was
being reminded of 1t. The man claims
he has family at Valley City, and
pretends to be simple minded. He
waived examination and was placed
under $1,000 bonds for his appearance
at the next term Of court, in default
of which he was confined In the Ram
sey county Jail.

Of soldiers. On reaching a deserted spot
near 0riaenberg Capt. Davlovsky called

badly wounded, was no killed. He was
found by some peasants and taken to a hos

The local pilots who have been watching
her say that she probably lost her way in the
