SEN. JAS. K.
 JONES DEAD Former Senator From Arkansas Died June l. at 5:3O D. m.
 in Washington, D. (.

Washing ton, June 1.-Former United States Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas died at his residence here at 5:30 this after noon, after an illness of a few hours, aged b9. He was one of the leading Democrats Tn the Senate from 1885 to 1903, and was one of the strongest sup porters of William Jennings Bry- an, having as chairman of the Democratic National committee conducted the campaign of 1S96 and 1900 Since leaving the sem ate in 1908, he has conducted a law practice in this city and has not actively engaged in politics.
 On Friday Senator Jones re- turned from a visit to his daugh- ter, Mrs. Leonara Carrigan, in Arkansas, and last night was apparently enjoying good health. Complaining slightly this morn ing, he remained in bed and at 5:50 this afternoon died, the inn mediate cause of death being heart failure.
 A native of Mississippi, where he was born in 1889, James Kim brough Jones received classical education and fought as pri- vate soldier Tn the Confederate ranks throughout the Civil War. After becoming resident of Dallas County, Arkansas, he lived on his plantation there un- tll 1873, when he took up the practice of law. He was elected to the senate the same year and became president of that body in 1877. Afterward he was elected 10 the Forty-Seventh and the two succeeding Congresses, and in 1885 succeeded to the seat of James $. Walker in the United States Senate, where he served three terms, retiring in 1908. Senator Jones was a delegate to the National Democratic couyer- tlon ln lS96, which gave Mr. Bryan hls first nomination, and as chairman of the committee on resolutions, he reported the 1o to l platform. He was made chair man of the National Democratic committee after the convention, and as such conducted both of the Bryan campaigns for the Presidency.
 In the Senate Mr. Jones came forward rapidly as one of the leaders of his party and was for several years chairman of the Democratic caucus. He was member of the subcommittee on finance, which reported the Will Son-Gorman tariff bill, and was an earnest advocate of tariff re- vision. Although not an orator, Senator Jones was d forceful and logical speaker, and was often heard in debate.
 Senator Jones Is survived by his widow and three children, Mrs. Carrigan of Arkansas, Miss Sue Jones and James K. Jones, Jr., of this city. Senator Jones will be buried in this city, and many of his former colleagues in Congress who have not left the city will remain to attend the funeral.

DEMOCRATIC
 CONVENTION Donaghey, Clark, Ludwig and HarrOd Delegates at Large
 Bryan Endorsed

session of the Democratic state convention held here today, a re- solution was presented binding the delegates to Denver to sup port Bryan as a unit as long as his name IS before the convention.
 Serious objections were made to this from all parts Of the hall, but the rules were suspended and the motion carried by large majority.
 A resolution providing for statewide prohibition was pre- sented by the Rev, w. T. Anis of Hot Springs, but received such small support 1t was sent to the committee on resolutions which means its certain death. A resolution expressing sor- TOW over the death of ex-Senator James k. Jones was adopted.
 Tomorrow the result of the primaries for state officers will be ratified ard the platform and national committeeman elected.
 With cries and hoWls of hum dreds the Democratic convention this afternoon forced to his seat Judge Jeptha Evans, who placed in nomination for the Big Four, Jeff Davis. Intense excitement prevailed. Davis was on the floor but was not participant.
 Judge Evans first nominated Senator Clarke, whose name aroused cheers, but preceding the name of the junior senator bed- lam broke loose and he could not continue.
 The Donaghey-Pindall big four slate was carried in full as follows:
 Geo. ". Donaghey, 0. C. Lud- wig, J. P. Clarke, J. H. Harrod, Little Rock attorney.
 Prominent in the race besides those elected were Jeff Davis. John H. Hinemon and ex-Senator J. H. Berry.
 Clark got 400 votes out of 599, the highest. Davis 196, next to the lowest. The voting was ir- regular, many delegates dividing the choice between the slate can didates and other favorites. Dona ghey was not in as complete control as the figures indicate, the voting largely being personal choice rather than political.
 ". J. Bryan was indorsed and the delegates instructed to vote for hlm as long as his name was before tue convention.
 The statewide prohibition re- solution was offered and referred to the platform committee to be taken to the floor If not accepted in the committee. The district delegates are being chosen to- night.

McCLORY FOR CONGRESS-
Devils Lake Attorney Enters Race
for Congressional HOnOrs.

Devils Lake Attorney Enters Race
for Congressional HOnOrs.
A Devils Lake newspaper of
recent date says:
1t is talk everywhere in town
today that Hon. +. J. McClory
of this city will soon announce
his candidacy for the republi-
can nomination for congress.
No political announcement
this year has caused more COM
ment than this one. Judge
McClory is one of the best
known lawyers in North Dako-
ia, and is generally admitted
that in Ramsey, Benson, Tow
ner, Rolette, Pierce, Bottineau
and McHenry counties he will
carry practically the solid re-
publican vote of both factions.
In Ward and Williams he will
poll a larger vote than any
other candidate now in the
field. For twenty-five years
Judge NcClory has been trav-
cling over the north half of the
state, and he is known to all
the old-timers who will pull
their coats and work hard for
his success. In the southern
part of the state he is as we'll
known as any of the other can
didates, and when it comes to
qualifications for the office his
friends claim that he stands
head and shoulders above any
man who has been named as a
possibility. Prominent repub-
lican leaders throughout the
state have commented upon
the weakness of the republican
candidates who have thus far
announced their candidacy, and
it is maintained that in Judge
McClory they will have an
ideal candidate.
A prominent state politician
from Fargo who is in town to-
day says: There is no ques-
ton that Pete McClory would
make a stronger run than any
man so far mentioned as re-
publican possibility. If Nc
Glory wants the nomination
and goes after it, there is no
question in my mind that he
will get it hands down.

came calling him to, that
house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens"

and son has a special invita-
ton to this service, AS we'll as
every daughter.
In the evening the pastor
will preach the first of two
special messages to young
ladies', on the general theme
The Beautiful Young Woman.
This first sermon will deal with
the question of true beauty and
how it may be acquired and
cultivated. The young man is
as interested in this theme as
is his sisters, for it means more
to him, if possible, than to
them.
An interesting fact in con-
nection with these sermons is
that the day following their
delivery is the 'heavenly
birthday of Miss Frances
Willard, the greatest woman
of the nineteenth century. Mr..
Waterman will make reference
to this great character at both
services. Everybody welcome.

Effort to be Made to Drain the
Mouse River Valley
FREEHOLDERS MEET
Claimed Improvement Will Benefit
$4,000 Acres in BOttineau and
McHenry Counties.

Russell Sentinel: At the re-
cent meeting held at the La
porte ranch for the purpose of
further considering the advis-
ability of drainage of the Mouse
river, a large number of the
freeholders along the river were
present. State Engineer T. K.
! Atkinson, County Commission
er A. NJ. Grant were also pres
ent. Ed. Randall was called
to the chair, and George La
porte acted as secretary.
The chairman appointed Jno.
McPhee and E. H. Moen as a
com mittee to complete the cir
culation of petitions and pre-
sent the same to the drainage
commissioners.
1t will be remembered that
the state engineer made a sur
vey last fall and pronounced
the project practical, there be-
ing sufficient fall for a drain.
The dirt to be handled is of a
light silt, free from rocks, tim
Der and quicksand, which will
prove of great advantage to the
dredgers, and be quite an item
in reducing the cost.
1t will be necessary to. have
part of the work done in Can
ada, and negotiations to this
effect are now under way with
the Canadian government for
the privilege of d red gi n g
there. A number of land own
ers in Canada, along the river.
are also interested, there being
about 5000 acres to be bene-
fitted, so there should be no
trouble in making negotiations
with Canada in this respect.
There are about 22,OOO acres
in Bottineau and McHenry
counties to be benefited with
an estimated cost of $500 per
acre. Should the project ma
terialize, and the prospects are
at present favorable, it will be
of estimable value for the land
in the Mouse River valley, as
it will be of the richest in the
country and easily worth $500
an acre when drained.

the large company of capable
artists to whose hands the
beautiful play was entrusted
made decided hit from the
very start. The play itself is
more elaborately staged than
usual and is filled with tragedy
and pathos interningled with
a keen sense of humor at times.
Mr.. Eugene Vests George
Leighton is a masterpiece of
craftiness and villiany but with
all his villiany one cannot help
but admire the GOODNESS and
reserve with which he handles
the part. 1t is a matter of
fact, however, that Mr.. West
plays all of the roles he under
takes in masterful manner.
The role of Jean Ingelside is
peculiarly adapted to Miss
Catherine Henry's artistic
temperament and she fills the
part with sadness that fills one
with deep hate for such
william as Leighton. Miss
Henry is also magnificent in
the dual role of La Belle Marie.

convulsed the audience with
laughter. The rest of the parts
are all in capable hands. The
