N. ID. Lawmakers.

From a special to the ST. Paul Dis.
patch from Bismark, 1t would seem
that the North Dakota lawmakers
are after needed reforms. The fol.
lowing is suggestive Of what the peo-
pie Of the North State want:
Proposed legislation overs a wide
range. Among prominent measures
introduced may be included a concur.
rent resolution by Tufte for a mem.
orial to congress, urging a convention
for the adoption Of an amend ment tc
the constitution, providing for the
election Of United States senators by
popular vote, two reciprocal demur-
rage bills. two 2-cent fare bills, and
three anti-pass bills, nj initiative
and referendum bill, an amendment
to the prohibition law prohibiting the
soliciting Of orders for intoxicating
liquors, and another making illegal
the sale OF liquors containing more
than / per cent Of alcohol. One bill
prohibits the use OF money in infiu.
encing nominations or elections BY
corporations.

Death OF George Rea.

George T.. Rea, a former citizen of
Canton, died recently in Oregon, yet
there are few in Canton or Lincoln
county who will remember that once
familiar figure.
George was born in Ohio i'm Novem-
Der 1872 and while a youth came to
Colesburg, Iowa, with his parents.
where he and W. NJ. Cuppett Of this
city enlisted iii company G. Sixth
Iowa Cavalry. In 1858 the regiment
was sent to Dakota Territory to fight
Indians. After the war Mr.. Cuppett
and George came to Canton in 1868,
and were among the very first set
tiers.
In the territorial election Of 1870
Mr.. Cuppett was elected to the SEN
ate or council as 1t wa then termed,
and Mr.. Rea became Secretary of the
Council. After his legislative service
he was appointed Deputy United
States Marshal by Laban H. Litch-
field and served In that capacity I'M
TIL he returned to Colesburg where he
continued to live until about eight
years ago when he went to Oregon.
George Rea was a genial wholesoul-
ed gentleman and a true friend and
his old friends here remember him
with pleasure and regret his demise.

Kfttredge,s Motive.

We like to see newspapers consist
ant. the same as we like to see people
CONSTANT. There are many papers
that refuse to give Senator Kittredge
due credit for the effort he is making
to break up the lumber trust, chiefly
because it is Kittredge that is doing
1t. II it were Roosevelt or LaF0llette
1t would be quite . different matter.
Give credit where credit Is due. This
paper believes Kittredge is on the right
track, In this instance, at least, and
we would like to see the papers that
are otherwise opposed to him be fair
enough to say 50. A few OF them
have, but most Of them seem to think
that no good can come out OF Kilt
redge.-Madison Outlook.
III the editor Of the Outlook knew
as much about Kittredge's efforts In
the past for the dear people, and his
motives for his present interest IN
their behalf, as we do, he would feel
about as we do. Ever since he has
been q United States Senator, up to
last July, his whole time and energy
has been spent In the interests of the
corporations. His time was so taken
up with serving his master (the cor
p%orations) that he did not have time
to read the rate bill and did not know
how he would vote until 1t was dead
sure to pass, then he came out and
announced that he would vote for the
bill. AS the De Smet Independent
said at the time. ssIf the President
needs K~ittredge's vote, he won't get
it, but ii he don't need 1t he can have
It," And just so In the present in
stance. Kittrege never thought OF
doing anything for the people so long
as there was a show for the corpora
tions to control the politics Of the
state; but just as soon as 1t was dead
sure that there would be a primary
election law placed upon q statute
books, he would have to look to the PEG
PIE instead Of the CORPORATIONS for
his return to the United States Senate,
then he woke up and tried to prove
to the DEAR PEOPLE that he was
THEIR FRIEND. But it was too
late. The veil that Kittredge stands
behind is too transparent. The peo-
pie see him as he is, and all they need
is the opportunity to let him know
what they think Of him. That time
will come q year from next spring.

Farmers Institute.

The farmers institute advertised,
or 1t should be stated, not advertised,
to take place in this city yesterday
and today was q compete fizZle in
every way. The instructors and lee
turers were here, but the farmers of
the county failed to materialize. AS
the county, by virtue OF the law, is
supposed to pay the expenses of these
gatherings, it is a shame that those
having the matter in charge have not
seemingly attended to their duties.
1t seems that the corn growers associ-
alton meets in the city OF February
IL, and an attempt was made to hold
the two together, but q mistake was
made somewhere as to the matter of
calling the meetings. 1t is sincerely
hoped that this, the leading agricul-
tural county Of the state, will not go
down In history as being remiss in
the matters OF advanced farming.
The above item appeared in the
Argus Leader OF January %. writer
by the Canton correspondent, who
manages to make a stupid and mex
cusable blunder in relation to facts.
The state makes an appropriation of
81. a year to carry on the institute
work which Is in charge of Superin-
tendent Chamberlain, and IL there is
any neglect any where it must not be
charged up to Lincoln county. Mr..
Chamberlain selects his dates and
places and holds his institutes to
suit his own convenience, and In this
particular case Lincoln county was
not consulted or requested TO take
part in the state work.
Lincoln county has nothing to do
with the expense Of the state fnsti-
tutes and the Leader correspondent
could have found out the facts with
out much labor had he SO desired.
II Lincoln county had to depend on
correspondents and outside help for
advanced farming. the farmers Of
Lincoln county might be as ignorant
OF what constitutes advanced farm
Ing" a. the Argus Leader correspond
emit is OF facts in relation to the state
Lincoln county Is the banner corn
county In the state, and the energy
and pride of her own citizens Is re-
sponsible for this proud record, and
the Lincoln county farmers will have
liner display OF corn at the coming
contest than u farmers have eve
seen.

Cathanka Lee-Thompson. was beauti-
fully given on Dec. Both in the Pers-
ian Temple on Lake Park Avenue
Chicago by Miss Katharine Gemmill,
a talented young soprano with the
FritZi-Scheff Opera Co.
Miss Gemmill's voice filed the i'm

The piano accompaniment was
played by Miss Palma Anderson, who
showed remarkable traits in tone,
color and a highly sympathetic must
cal temperament.
This trio OF young musicians was
showered with congratulations upon
their artistic work.

Death OF Julius Wennblom.

Another one of those sad and re-
gretful accidents occurred rear the
depot Tuesday morning about 10
O'Clock which resulted in the death of
julius Wennblom of Fairview town
ship. He was walking along the track
but outside the rails when an engine
and tender was backing down. The
engineer saw him and in his position
there was no danger, but just as the
tender was to pass, the unfortunate
man stepped between the rails and
was hurled to his death. His skull
was fractured in two places and his
scalp was badly mutilated and his jaw
smashed. He was promptly removed
to the Commercial house and the Mil
waukee railroad surgeon, DR.. Wendt
was summoned. DR.. Wendt did all
that was possible to relieve his suffer-
ing, realizing that the man could not
live. He fingered on the narrow brink
of eternity until 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning when the sufferer passed
away.
No blame attaches to the engine
crew, because the man was very deaf
and didn't know the engine was
ing. He had a desire to walk on rail-
road tracks and was recently held up
in the railroad yards at Elk Point.
He had a mania for railroads and had
often been cautioned about walking
on railroad tracks.
His father and mother who live in
the southern part of Norway town
ship were notified of the accident but
as they are both over 80 they did not
come to town. The deceased owned
a farm in Fairview township and was
about SO years old and unmarried. A
brother and a nephew came to Can
ton Wednesday and the remains wers
removed to the home of his aged par
ents. The funeral will be held Fri
day from the Swedish Lutheran
church in the southern part of Nor
way township.

Kittredge and His Motives.
No cne will find fault with Senator
Kittredge for jumping onto the ium-
Der monopoly at this time, but the
government has been secretly investi-
eating the lumber barons for over two
years, and has collected a vast amount
Of evidence that will convict the con-
spirators OF secret agreements 70 de-
stroy competition and Of blacklisting
and discriminating. Senator Kittredge
knew Or should have known all about
the lumber combine long ago, because
everybody else did, but he has been
recently convinced that the people OF
this state have thrown him overheard

2 HER CLEVER ESCAPE

Young Mr. Greenleaf naturally
held the best cards up to certain
point. He had done lice thing by
giving up his stateroom, and, of
course, Miss Davis IS properly
grateful. In a way h became her
cavalier. That is, he headed the list
and monopolized most of her time.
On the third day from Southamp-
ton, a notice was posted up that Mr..
Greenleaf had lost a valuable pearl
and diamond pin. Some few ques-
t1ons were asked, but no one took
any great interest. The loser could
have told the purser that he missed
the pin half an hour after sitting in
a cozy corner on deck with Miss
Davis at his elbow, but he didn't go
into particulars.
On the next evening young Mr..
Thompson, who had left his mother
alone, in order that no one should
chide him when he smoked too many
cigarettes and drank too many cock
tails, gave his arm to Miss Davis for
a walk.
She had slight favor to ask of
him. Her dear father had left her
plenty of money, but it was in 500
bills. Would he kindly give her
small bills in change? He would.
He went to his staterocr and got
the money, and she thanked him, but
did not hand over the hundred. It
was case of Observation-Disclosures OF
course, and he did n, call her atten-

Once or twice the trim little maid
looked into the room and smiled gent
ly at the sentinel before she slipped
out again, and at last, when after an
interval word came over the wire
that the bill had been defeated, Dave
smiled back at the girl as she kissed
him.

seats. They were oppre:- ed by sense
of fear. This calm, quiet-faced man.
whom they had been accustomed to
see waiting on the table, had tax

tell how far he might 90.
But soon their fears were answer

and the little maid admitted party
of reporters acting as escort to the
speaker of the house and the COVER
nor. Boland was in the lead and 1t
was he who introduced Dave.
1t took but an instant to grasp the
meaning of the scene. The familiar
black grip, the envelopes, the list of
names with but check mark told
their own story.
Dave bowed gravely to the COVER

they looked UP the gulch to where
