How we'll beloved they were and
how much they will be missed by
their associates will never be
known to the public. Individu-
atty plays a great part in conduct
ing great enterprises like the News,
but that part loses its distinction
when the paper reaches the people
"a splendid composite production
in which individuality is unknown.
Nevertheless these men and Others
who have served the News in the
past until called TO pay the penalty
of morality, have "builded better

come after have the light of their
brilliant examples, the inspiration
of their courage and devotion to

And smiles within our valleys,
| A Texas flower and Texas pride
Around IL honor rallies;
And every heart beneath the blue,
Transparent sky above it,
In Texan-wise, forever true,
Shall fold. and hold, and love IL.
The winds that softly round IL blow
Breath out in song and story,
The fame of bloody Alamo,
And San Jacinto's glory;
And everywhere beneath the sky,
That lovingly bends DOR IT,
With glowing heart and kindllngeye
All Texans true adore u.
It blossoms free In homes and fields
Made by loves labor royal;
To Fleur-de.lis or Rose none yields
Allegiance more loyal!
And to the world its fame shall go,
And tell the Lone Stars splendor-
OF hearths aud homes tina. CLEAN

HAND FORGED
Hanging of Memorial Park
Gates Delayed Until Ground
Freezes.

The work of hanging the fine new
iron. hand-wrought gates. recently
purchased for the entrance to Memoir
ial Park cemetery. will, according to
statement of Mrs. r. A. Sprague,
secretary of the Ladies' Auxiliary as
sociation. not be completed until this
fall when the ground freezes. The
main entrance is already in position
but side gates for pedestrians cannot
be placed now without destroying two
beautiful fine trees which can be
moved easily after the freeze-up.
The statement of a morning paper
that owing to the material in the
gates being somewhat lighter than
specified in the contract. Mr.. Schott-
hoeffer had made a reduction in price
to $780," is misleading. As matter
of fact the gates which weigh 5000
pounds. are several hundred pounds
heavier than specified, bringing the
cost from 5000 as had been expected,
up to about $3.50. The maker, how
ever. has agreed to a reduction of 500,
or from $3.50 to $3.50.
Mr.. Shotthoefter is former employe
of the Krupp Gun company of Ger
many and his work on the Memorial
Park gates is certainly creditable. The
main entrance stands thirteen feet
high.

STOPS DELAY
N. w. Telephone Co.'s New
Phantom Circuit Works
Wonders.

No more delay for Northwestern
Telephone company patrons in max
ing long distance calls from Grand
Forks to the Twin Cities or Fargo; no
more weary waits to tax the patience
Of the busy man. The phantom cir
cult has done away with all that.
The phantom circuit Is a telegraph
circuit which can be used over the
same wires as the telephone system
and at the same time persons are
talking over the telephone lines with
out interfering with the conversation.
This is accomplished by the use of
resistance coils which have recently
been put in the Fargo. Minneapolis
and Grand Forks offices. With these
coils and the telegraph instruments at
tached the long distance operator will
be able to put in call from Grand
Forks.for some person In Minneapolis
while the long distance line is In use
and in this way there will be no de-
lays and the line will not be idle
while the party wanted on a call ts
being reached from the other end.
The improvement has been made
necessary by the great increase In
business and Is expected to prove
great convenience to the business men
of this city who have frequent occa-
sion to use the long distance.

BRITISH WILL NOT
VISIT RUSSIANS.
The Exchange Of Courtesies
Between Navies of the
Countries Called Off.
BRITISH GLAD TO POSTPONE 1T

.AssocIated Press Cable to The Evening
Times. s
st. Petersburg, July 14.-The lib
erals are jubilant at the post-
ponement of the visit of the British
channel feet to Russian waters.
which they regard as being an open
recognition of the fact that public
sentiment in both countries is hostile
to such an official exchange of cour-
tesies while the people and govern
ment of Russia are at war. Although
the official announcement took pains
to show that the decision to post
pone the visit was reached by common
accord, it does not reveal the real
motive, which in the case of Russia
was not SO much in Difference to
public opinion as the adnliralty's sense
OF the humiliation at the sorry spec
tacle that remnants of Russia's navy
would cut in the presence of the pow
erful British fleet and the fear that
its arrival at Cronstadt would mark
another mutinous outbreak on the part
OF the sailors and the garrison of that
fortress. Evidences of the propaganda
for such an outbreak was spread by
the revolutionists of the Cronstadt, but
was discovered by the admiralty here.
The British government, although It
really proposed the visit. was only too
glad to postpone it on account of the
storm of indignation raised by the
anti-Jewish outbreak at Bialystok.

N MUROEREO IN
COLD BLOOD
A Wealthy North Carolina
Merchant and Family Brut-
ally Murdered.
ROBBERY OR REVENGE MOTIVE

Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.
Raleigh, N. c., July 14.-A special
from Winston to the Salem North
Carolina) Evening Times, says: Isaac
Lyerly, his wife and three youngest
children were murdered in their home
one mile east of Barber's Junction
early today by unknown parties who
afterward robbed the house and then
set fire to the bed on which Mr.. and
Mrs. Lyerly were killed. Two older
daughters who were sleeping up stairs
were awakened and rushed down just
In time to extinguish the flames and
save the home from destruction. 1t is
thought that the robbers killed their
victims with clubs. I.yerly was
wealthy merchant and farmer and the
family was recognized as one of the
best in that section. AS soon as the
news Of the murder and robbery was
received here Deputy Sheriff Hutchins
was requested to 20 to the scene with
his bloodhounds. He left on a special
train. Later report was received
that two negroes had been arrested.
One of these is quoted as saying few
days ago after Lyerle had refused to
allow him to cut his wheat. that the
old man may cut his grain but he'll
never live to eat 1t"

New York, July 14.-The tenth an
nual convention of the national asso-
citation Of the state dairy and food de-
partments of the Interstate pure food
commission to be held at Hartford,
Conn.,, July II, 18. 10 and 20, 1t was

ever held in this country, following
as 1t will Immediately upon the pas
sage Of the first federal pure food law.
Manufacturers of every class and kind
have been invited and are expected to
attend in large numbers. In New
York the impression prevails that a
decision will be reached at this meet
ing as. to whether or not the spirit
of the federal law Is to be interpreted
into the administration of the various
state food departments. On this de-
cision it is said the service of the ma
tional legislation depends. E. F.
Ladd, food commissioner of North Da-
kota, is among those by whom papers
will be read.

IT Is LEGAL
Plants for Manufacture of De.
naturized Alcohol to Be
Built.

North Dakotans can manufacture
denaturized alcohol despite the pro-
hibition law. That is the opinion of
the leading attorneys of the state. No
distilleries or breweries for the manu-
facture Of drink can be operated in the
state, but the law does not prohibit
the manufacture Of alcohol for COM
mercial purposes. Plants will be es-
tablished In many sections of the state.
II the prohibitory law should ever be
held to conflict with the denaturized
alcohol distilleries, 1t would probably
result in resubmission vote. but it is
thought the warmest supporters of the
law will not interfere with the manu-
facture of denaturized alcohol,

So far he has not come to any de-
cision, but it might be stated that
whether he accepted the invitation or
not that the decision would have no
effect whatever upon his political or
judicial future. In other words he
might as a justice visit the islands
quite as we'll as while he occupied the
Office Of the secretary of war.

The majority of the delegates and

for their homes. 1t was jolly crowd
on the east-bound train. The in
surgents left on the swearing train
earlier in the evening.
NJ. N. johnson lost prestige by his
vicious attack upon Congressman
Gronna when the resolutions were
being discussed. Everybody knew 1t
was a personal matter with johnson
and his own friends condemn him for
his course. Congressman Gronna's
replies to the attack were more than
a match for his disgruntled colleague
on the Nelson county delegation.
airing his personal grievance against
Mr.. Gronna on the floor of the con-
vention.
Some of the insurgent leaders were
compelled to accept favors from the
stalwarts In order to get into the con-
vention. The opera house was not
large enough to accommodate the
crowd and tickets were in great de-
mand.
When Grand Forks county cast %
votes for Pollock, some one in the
audience yelled "skidoo." and it was
several minutes before the laughter
ceased.
Just the night before the convention
reports were sent out from the in
surgent headquarters that they had
the convention by an overwhelming
majority. Even johnson believed it.
1t didn't fool anybody but those who
were circulating the reports. They
had simply contracted the habit by
constant reiteration of the misleading
reports for about year. A change
of laundries didn't prevent them from
finding the pipe dope speedily upon ar
rival at Jamestown.
Those papers that were persistently
claiming the earth before the conven-
as they really look to the people Of
at them.
The people of Jamestown certainly
did themselves proud in entertaining
the delegates. Everybody had good
word to say of the hospitality of the
hustlers of the asylum city on the
Jim.
Some enthusiastic stalwart had
napkins printed on Chinese linen and
distributed among the delegates with
the following historical data:

H. Bendeke's vote for congress was
nine short of the insurgent strength
on the chairman test vote. Evidently
some of the insurgents couldn't stand
the Grand Forks man. In this con-
nection it will be well to state that the
stalwart leaders throughout the state
complimented the visiting regulars
from Grand Forks county on the
splendid fight they put up at the
primaries. This feeling of good will
eliminated in the denomination of e.
G. Cooper as insurance commissioner.
notwithstanding he didn't have vote
from the delegation from his own
county.
