During the past week the chairmen OF

Democratic papers made great howl
during the recent campaign about the
Republican party's bari " bu, it proved
another case OF the old cry Of stop
thief by the guilty fellow himself.
The Republicans made fight on straight
party principles and would have won
out easily all along the line with one or
two exceptions perhaps, where imagi'
nary as well as some real dissatisfaction
with official service could not he over
come, had all the Republicans gone to
the polls. On the other hand the Demo

Let us probe into the campaign
expenses of the two parties in this
county, and see if there isn't n
little suspicion of egg sucking and
sly hiding of the shells. The
Democrats have nothing to conceal
and the sworn statement of the
secretary of the County Democratic
Committee sets forth in full all the
campaign expenses, including the
amount paid the State Democratic
Committee to help defray the cost
of the special train that carried
Mr.. Bryan over the State and of
his reception at Flat River. We

of both parties in this county as

New York, April 3.-While the con-

President Roosevelt and E. H. Harri-
man, following the publication of a
letter written by e. H. Hartman to
Sidney Webster regarding collection of
campaign funds by Mr. Hartman dur
ing the presidential campaign of 1904,
is attracting widespread attention, poll
iticians and others, who were closely
connected with the campaign, do not
show any disposition at this time to
discuss the subject. Senator Chauncey
M. Depew, however said: my know
ledge of the 100000 campaign fund
was all gained after the occurrence to
which Mr.. Hartman refers. ] knew
nothing about it at the time and it
would be improper for me to mention
any names in any way. l may say.

from corporations, neither from in
dividuals whose corporation affiliations
were such that they had anything to
expect from the administration in re-

name for the post of ambassador to
France is concerned / will say posi-
lively that matter was not broachcd
to me until December, after opposi-

REAL MOTIVE FOR HARRlMAN's
ACTIVITY IN THE NEW YORK
STATE CAMPAIGN SHOWN TO-
DAY BY A STATEMENT FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, April 3.-Secretary
Loeb said today that there would be no
further announcement from the pres
ident bearing on the issue between him
and E. HI. Hartman, growing out Of
conferences between the two in the
latter part of 1904, the details of which
We're made public yesterday. 1t is
authoritatively declared at the White
House today that the real reason for
Harriman's interest in the election of
the state ticket in New York in 1904
reference to which was made in the
communications which passed between
him and the president was that he
desired to advance his own ambitions.
1t is asserted that Hartman wanted
the position of senator, now filled by
Depew, and that this was the reason
why he was anxious to have him APP
pointed ambassador to Paris. The
differences from Harriman's attitude
was that if Senator Depew could be in
duced to go to Paris, Gov. Higgins
was prepared to appoint Hartman to
the vacancy.

A STATEMENT
BY COMMITTEE
SIGNIFICANCE or sMYTH vic.
TORY EXPLAINED.
1t Was Not Victory for the Demo-
Gratis, But for Good Government
Business Men Are United and Will
Build up the City.

Bismarck, N. d., April 3--The COM
rnittee in charge Of the candidacy Of
DR.. Smyth has issued a statement re-
garding the late campaign in which
Smyth was elected over Ed Patterson
for the mayoralty. The statement is
in part, as follows:
"As an evidence of the intense
earnestness of the people of Bismarck
in the recent municipal election and
the determination of the business aud
social interests of the city to bring
about reform, IT may be noted that
the entire fund at the disposition OF
the committee interested In the can
didacy Of DIR. Smyth was but $500. and
this was not all spent. This eclipses
any effort ever before made in any
campaign in this state. The members
of the committee were pledged TO pre-
vent illegal voting and the canvass of
the city was so thorough and complete
that il is believed that not an illegal
vote was cast.
"This is a new era in the history
of Bismarck. The business men of the
city were never so united before, nor
so earnest in their efforts to build up
the town and make it a great business
center as well. as keep it morally and
physically clean. The insignificant sum
! spent in the campaign is the most con-
vincing argument of the earnestness
! of the people to preserve the good
name of the city.
Every prominent republican and al
F, most every business man was opposed
to the candidacy Of E. G. Patterson for
| the mayoralty. They not only defeated
Patterson but also defeated the alder
manic candidates known to be favor
| able to him.
"The election of Smyth as mayor Is
victory for clean government and
| has no political significance. 1t does
not mean democratic victory by any
means"

London, April a,@-The 8 worship Of
dogs and cats by members Of English
society has evolved new profession
for women Two guineas week. with
residence and board, can be earned by
the nurses skilled in the care of sick
animals.
There is training school for such
nurses in London, where certificates
are granted the apt pupils after six
months experience, and those holding
them do not seem to experience any
difficulty in securing occupation. It is
corltended that women make much
better animal nurses than men. Some
who have undergone training In the
London hospitals have abandoned hu-
man therapeutics for pathology Of the
quadruped, and some OF these hold per-
manent engagements with breeders of

Hill from the direction of Great North

identical with duties he has been per-
forming in recent years. These have
had to do with the general direction of

than directly with the operation Of the
