Harmon Of Ohio Is Suggested as
Such a Candidate.

7,y- o "a eho OpAhiouS however,
That He Is Too safo and Sane to
Win.
Zach McGhee, the Washington cor
respondent of the State says tho con-
saryative Democracy has fixed upon
acandidate for the presidency, so the
tale goes in Washing ton. 1t is Judson
Harmon OF Ohio. He was attorney
general In President Clevelands sec.
ond term.
The Information comes from an
Eastern Democrat Of national repu-
tation, and 1t strongly appears that
the forces Of the Parker nomination
In 1904 are back of It.. Harmon is to
be the safe and sane" candidate as
against Bryan, the unsafe and in
sane candidate. That's the pro-
gram.
Harmon made an excellent attorney
general, and since his retirement has
been practicing law in Ohio. He did
one notable public service about 3
years ago when President Roosevelt
appointed him to look into the alleg-
ed violation OF the anti-rebate law
F, b the Atch son, Topeka and Sante
Fe railroad. ;,
Harmon looked into it and found
that Paul Morton, q member Of the
presidents cabinet was the guilty
party. for Morton was president dur
ing the time the rebates were given.
Harmon and his associate in the
worR recommended that prosecutions
be instigated against Paul Morton
and some of the other officials of the
road. This did not suit the admins
tration though, at all, which wanted
to, prosecute the railroad tracks, the
locomotives and things Of that sort,
and put them all in jail.
Harmon expressed the opinion that
if$rebates were given somebody was
responsible and they offered to show
the president pretty quick who and
how, but the president had no idea
of allowing his friend and cabinet
officer to be prosecuted. Harmon
thereupon quit and the case was
Harmon is quite much of a man
oil right, but the opinion is that he
is too "safe and sane for the senti-
ment. Of the party and Of the country

Obituary..

The silent death of night spreads the
dark veil over home after home and
hides from mortal view the forms Of
those we love. So on the 21st Of June,
1907, Just before the sable curtains of
night had been drawn aside to let shine
forth the glorious light OF another day,
the shadows Of the valley fell athwart
the household of Mrs. Zenith Spires.
After severe illness OF several months
duration Austin's spirit passed unto the
God who gave it.
He was the son of Elmer and Zenith
Spires; was born June 20, 1882, at Par
S ms, Kan, and spent his early life there
and in Illinois. tie leaves to mourn his
early death an aged mother, two sisters
and four brothers-Mrs. Pattennale Of
Assumption, ILL.,; Hazel OF Minot; DR..
Lewis Spires, prominent dentist of
Joliet, Ill.,; Charles of Pana, ILL.,; Obie
Of Ainsworth, Neb., and Kirbie Of Mi
not, N. D., who just lately purchased a
farm in Ward county, came to the
northwest and is now one of our most
prominent farmers.
Austin came to North Dakota some
six years ago and took up homestead,
and during all the vicissitudes attend
ing the life on the frontier he was one OF
our staunchest and most faithful work
ers. His sister Hazel came and made
her nome with him and was his devoted
and constant companion, and our hearts
go out to her in the sorrow that almost
kills, but the Comforter says, 'Lo am
with you always
The deceased was model young man
of sterling character. In his every day
life he put into practice the teachings
lend helping hand to the needy, and
generous, with a kind word for every
oody, and during his last illness always
spoke of his feeling better, knowing
how hard it was for the dear mother to
know that death would claim him. AS
she according to the laws of nature, will
leave this world of sorrow, and when
the sad summons comes he will be at
the beautiful gates waiting and watch
ing for you.
When we extend to you our sympa
thies we commend you to the Savior,
who said II will be with You in six
troubles and in the seventh l will not
leave thee nor forsake thee"
The funeral was held at his late home
near Minot by Rev. Lawrence OF the
Presbyterian church. Profuse offerings
of flowers covered the casket. A large
cortege of friends followed the remains
to Mlnot, where they we're then taken
to their final resting place at joliet, ILL.,,
by his brother Lewis.
The family wish to extend their sim
cerest thanks to the many friends whose
kindness was a solace in their sad hour
of atfiictlon. A FRIEND.
