Credentials Committee at
Denver Spends Six Hours
on Idaho Case

Z Denver, Col, July THE creden-
tials committee met at 5 o'clock in
Fraternity hall.
Five state and the District OF Col
umbia gave notice of contests. State
notices were received from Pennsyl-
vania, Idaho, Illinois, Ohio and New
York. 1t was decided that all COM
mitteemen whose states have contests
should be excluded from the proceed
ings until an adjustment was made
in the fights in which they were in
terested. The first contest taken up
was Idaho.
When the committee had been in
session three hours, the idaho case
was still under consideration and At
torney John F. nugget of Idaho, who
is conducting the contest, was still
busy with his second witness.
\ c. M. Jackson, on behalf Of the
Duboise or anti-Mormon faction,
stirred the committee to loud ap-
plause when he said that he and his
associates were trying to save the
state for Bryan and that the Nor
mons could not live in idaho and de-
fy the laws Of God and man.
During the cross examination Of
Jackson by John F. nugget, attorney
for contestants, Jackson was asked ii
any Of the contestants were Mormons.
He said that they were ali Mormons.
This statement caused intense indig-
nation among the contestants, and
a number started for jackson, an
parently intending to offer him phys
ical violence. It was some time be-

Former Senator Duboise made the
closing argument for contestees. The
contestants desired to offer further
evidence but the committee refused
to hear 1t and at 1918 the case was
closed after the hearing had contin-
ued exactly six hours.

TRIES TO SUICIDE
J. !. MOORE FOUND UNcoNscI.
GUS FROM cHLoRoFoRM IN
4 HIS ROOM.

Minot, July John I. Moore, we'll
known in Minot and Ward county,
having been in the land business for
some time and being the owner and
operator Of a mine near Burlington,
attempted suicide yesterday in his
apartments above the Arcade theatre.
It appears that Moore has been in
straitened circumstances for some
time and on Friday last went to the
United States Land & Investment Co.
and negotiated loan from Mr.. You
mans. He stated that a local alb
stractor was preparing the abstract
and Strengthening up the title and
that he would bring deed to the
property on Monday. Mr.. Youmans
knew Moore and believed his story,
advancing him $500 on the deal. Yes.
terday morning Mr.. Youmans discov-
cred that Moore did not own the
property described by him, and imme-
diately set about to look the fellow
up. Chief Hagen was asked to find
Moore, and going to his apartments,
the chief found the door locked. He
looked through the letter chute and
saw Moore lying on the bed
When entrance was gained to the
room. it was found that Moore had at
tempted to take his own life with
chloroform. An empty four-ounce bot
tie was found by the bed. Moore
clutched a wad of cotton in his hand,
which had evidently been saturated
with the chloroform and held over his
face. His face and mouth were burn.
ed, and 1t Is believed that he not only
inhaled the chloroform, but that he
also drank q quantity OF 1t.
This morning he. regained consci.
BUSINESS for a few minutes and talked
to the doctor. He is resting easily
and will no doubt recover within q
few days.

County division will not down in
Mclean county. The east-enders
are particularly anxious. Here is
what the Goodrich Citizen says:
cit was promised that the matter of
county division would come up for
consideration as soon as the smoke
of the battle at the primaries had
cleared away, and we think that the
wind of last Sunday was sufficiently
strong to carry it away, and that 1t
is time to buckle on the armor and
prepare for the battle for county
division and to make it so decisive
that it will not need to be fought
over again."

Last summer, in the satisfaction Of
long felt desire, Miss Heisser spent
several weeks on the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation and painted four
notable pictures of widely different
types of the eros Ventres Indians.
This was done with the incourage-
ment and cooperation Of DR.. Libby,
secretary of the North Dakota State
Historical society. He was SO much
impressed with the Importance of the
results that he at once began to ar
range for more complete series
of paintings that should preserve for
the state faithful and correct me-
MORALS of these aboriginal inhabi-
tants. He succeeded in interesting
state officials and promenent men,
Heisser's friends and warm admir-
ers, and as soon as she Informed
DR.. Libby that she felt able to under
take the work the commission for it
was formally made. She left almost
at once for North Dakota on her
way to the Turtle mountains, where
she proposed to make her Sioux por-
traits during the summer gathering
and sun dancing of that tribe.

work since her return from Europe
was done for North Dakota, and it
constitutes rich contribution to the
art development Just beginning in
the state. She not only painted a
group of mastery portraits of Her
leading men, but she delivered
series of admirable lectures in which
the highest ideals were set forth in
persuasive and forceful way, and
she came into close, personal rela-
tons with most of the men and
women who are shaping the intel
lectual and ethical life of the state.
Miss Heisser has left a worthy
memorial of her Industrious life in
the yolumns of her works, but of
greater Importance than these ac-
complishments, limited by time, ill
ness and other circumstances, is
what she was, and her beautiful life
and character will be living force
in the lives of many to whom her
art and its fruits was scarcely
known. She not only lived and
thought deeply, but she shared that
beautiful inner life with all who
could understand and enter into it.
She felt the religious and ethical life
to be of supreme Importance, and her
life was a beautiful exemplifcation
of her high thoughts.
with rare literary gifts, cultivat-
ed by long and discriminating study,
Miss Heisser gave expression to this
only in her letters, and they are a
precious treasure to scores, for her
correspondence was large. This made
heavy demands upon her, but it was
never sighted. For in it she took

his speech in a panegyric for Bryan,

bringing forth a tumultuous demon

confusion. That state presented two

Col. Guffey and his lieutenants, pale
and gesticulating wildly, sought to in
terpose a protest. But it was of no
avail. For time pandemonium pre-
vailed. And then the smooth running
machinery consigned the question to
the credentials committee, where
Bryan's adherents are supreme, and
the Guffey forces retired, full of
wrath and disgust. . r

the generous temper of the conven-

Parker was prevailed upon to mount
the platform, where, with resonant
voice he read his own resolutions of

with tactful concession to the Bry-

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE BROKEN COLUMN.

The governors of the northwestern
states are asked to respond to the
query, by the Minneapolis Journal,
"what form of united activity can
your state employ to the best advan-
tage?". Governor Burke of North
Dakota answers as follows:
'sMy answer to the question is
united activity to encourage and pro-
mote agriculture North Dakota is
first, and above everything else, an
agricultural state. In it's early his
tory there was some question as to
whether the western portion was an
agricultural country. Farming, how
ever, is no longer an experiment in
any part Of the state. 1t is an as
sured and successful fact.
sThe early pioneers came with but
little money. It was necessary for
them to raise products that would
bring quick returns, and so they en-
gagged in wheat farming and kept
raising wheat until they discovered
that even their rich soil would not
produce the same wheat crops that it
did when it was firsa broken. This
set them to thinking and they con-
Guided that il they were to continue
farming it would be necessary for
them to diversity. They began ex-
~
perimenting with cattle and horses,
timothy and clover, creameries, and
they soon learned that they could
raise about anything else and that by
diyersifying and sowing the land to
tame grass it would, in little
while, restore to the soil the quail
tiles that produce wheat.
upon the question of diversified
farming the farmers are wide awake
and united. They hold their insti-
tutes where men learned in agricul-
ture deliver lectures on how to pre-
serve the fertility of the soil, the best
modern system of rotation in crops,
dairying and stock raising. The farm
ers take great interest in these in
isttutes, and North Dakota is today
an agricultural state of diversified
farming.
I'VE have not paid enough atten-
ton to tree culture in this state.
However, a movement is under way
to establish national forest reserve
in the Bad Lands. There was at
one time dense growth of cedar
and pine and other timber along the
Little Missouri river, which flows
through this territory. If the gov
eminent shiuld make it national
forest reserve and replant the por-
tions that have been denuded of TIM
Der, 1t would, in a little while be in
valuable in conserving and producing
moisture, and at the same time it
would be an incentive to every farm
er to plant grove of trees. North
Dakota would in time be dotted with
artificial groves and forests; break
ing the hot winds, producing rain
falls, conserving the moisture, and
making the state one Of the most
beautiful as well as the most pros
porous IN the nation.

the White Lead is pure it will present.
ly resolve itself into little shining glob-
ules of mctaltic lead, under the intense
heat Of the blow-pipe, leaving NO
residue.
If, however. the White Lead is adul-
terated In the slightest degree, II will

will be een that this experiment is
