TEMPE
HOW IT HAPPENED.

The absence of Tempe matter in yes terday mornings paper is accounted for bv a peculiar combination of cir cumstances in which the mail plays the leading part. The envelope containing copy, changes of ads, etc, was mailed as usual SaturdaT evening. IL did not show up in the RepubIcan's postoffice box as usual, and investigation there showed that it had not arrived in the postoffice. It was proven beyond doubt that it left the Tempe office at the regular hour Saturday night, but where it now is is purely a matter of speculation. This explanation is mere ly made for the benefit of readers and advertisers with the assurance that every effort will be made to sift out the cause of the trouble and remedy 1t in the hope that 1t win not occur again.

MAKING GOOD TO ooD-rn the

course of an address before the Y. NJ
 c. A yesetrday. Dr H. A. Hughes said; "A scored promise is generally
 made to God. It may be to a person, but it is given as in the sight of God
 In degree it is more binding than a promise or pledge. Nearly every one has made promises or vows to God, possibly in the hour of distress or i'm pending danger. If a man promises
 to pay you bill at a certain time and does not do it, but makes another promise and fails to keep that and so on for several times. you loose faith in him and he loses your confidence. You are ready to say he has no credit with you. Col. Jones runs for office and he goes to his best friend as he thinks. in a certain part of the county and a man whom he has favored many times, and he gets a promise that he will use his entire influence for the colonel, but when the votes are counted. although the colonel may be elected. he knows when the returns come in from this friends precinct with only two or three votes, that the man who made the good promises dti not use use his influence. He did not make good. Paying vows is keeping

was murdered, have testified that

FLOUR BLEACH WINS A POINT.

Injunction Against Commissioner Ex.
tended by Court.
Judge Pollock has continued the
temporary injunction against Pure
Food Commissioner Ladd of this state
asked for by flour mill men to pre-
vent the commissioner from publish
ing the results of his findings in his
Investigations in the bleached matter.
The hearing to determine on a per-
manent injunction will be taken up
about Feb 1, at which time there will
be an array Of prominent witnesses
from all over the United States, as the
government is behind Commissioner
Ladd and the millers of the country
are backing those of the state.
There is nothing in the temporary
injunction to prevent Commissioner
Ladd from instituting criminal suits If
he decides such action necessary. His
contention is that the Alsop process
of bleaching flour transmits nitrite
into flour, making it injurious to
health. He demands merely that the
product be branded as bleached and
Goes not seek to prohibit the plan.
The millers contend that bleaching
is beneficial. but refused to brand the
treated -four as bleached. Judge Pol
locks decision was reached after a
night session.

PLAN ROOSEVELT STATUE.

Norwegian Sculptor Will Do the Work

The people of North Dakota do not
regard President Roosevelt as a dead
one, but they have formed a Roosevelt
Monument association for the purpose
of erecting statue on the campus of
the North Dakota agricultural college.
The tribute is partially because Mr..
Roosevelt at one time owned a ranch
In North Dakota and spent some time
In the state, and largely because OF
the respect and admiration in which
the man is held by the residents of the
state.
The idea originated with DR.. H. o.

Senator Hansbrough is president of
the association, President Worst OF
the college is vice president, and DR..
Fjelde secretary and treasurer. The
funds will be raised by popular sub.
scription.
Gustave Vigeland, sculptor of
Christiania, Norway, one of the most
celebrated sculptors of Europe, has
been engaged to make the statue. 1t
is planned to have impressive cere.
monies in connection with the unveil.

der the existing conditions of wide

Some of the elevator companies have
instructed their agents to buy only

GAMBLERS ARE RAIoEp.
NeIeon County Cleans VI Blind Pig.
gers and Gamblers.


States Attorney John H. Fleming
and Sheriff P. E. Sandlie and his depu-
ties have succeeded in putting on the
lid in Nelson county, and blind piggers
and gamblers who escaped the laws
net have departed to other localities.
Raids were made on the same night
at Aneta and Tolna, and proved very
successful. AT Aneta, c. Stevens was
arrested on "a charge of running a
gambling room in his hotel, the Man
haitian, and Robert Garden, William
Quinn and Harvey Moulton were jail.
ed on a charge of running blind pigs
At Tolna raids were made at exactly
the same hour, and G. Coville was ar
rested for blind plugging.
All were held to the district court
for trial, and lin Grand Forks Stevens
was sentenced to pay fine of $125
and costs of $85, or serve time In jail
He paid the fine. Colville was SEN
fenced to serve ninety days in the
Grand Forks county jail and to pay
5000 fine and SIS costs, and in default
of payment Of the fine and costs to
spend another fifty-five days in jail.
John McKusic, who had. left Aneta
before the raid, and who was charged
with blind plugging, was captured later
by Sheriff Sandlie, who decoyed him
over from East Grand Forks. By q
clever ruse the sheriff persuaded Nc
Kusic to come across the bridge, and
when he was over on the North Da
kota side steered him to the Grand
Forks county Jail, where he read the
warrant for him. McKusic was taken
to Devils Lake that night and the next
day was given a preliminary hearing
at Aneta.
Garden and Moulton furnished
bonds in the sum of $500 each fol
their appearance in the district court
at Lakota in January, for trial, and
Quinn, failing to furnish bond, was
taken to Grand Forks, where he will
remain in jail until January.
The raid was one of the most sue
'cessful ever held in the state. Every
man the authorities went after was
captured. Aneta and Tolna were
cleaned up in good shape. and it is un
likely that further attempts will be
made to defy the law.
States Attorney Fleming stated be
fore leaving for Aneta that he propos
ed to make it too hot for any and all
lawbreakers in Nelson county, If the
state law could make it too warm fol
them.
