Delightful Halloween PATTY.

The "Ghosts Soeity" were i'm
vited to hold their annual meet
ing with Miller and Ben Evans
Saturday evening October 81 at
eight p. M. AT the appOiated
hour the ghosts began to arrive
from all direction, single aud in
couples and crowds, till the ex-
pected thirty wondered IN and
out the house and grounds.
The grotesque white figures
were even perched IN the trees.
From the doors and windows of
the handsome home jack o'lan-
ternsIpeeped and grinned, the parc
lor and library were beautifully
decorated in autumn bows, corn
In the husk and apples suspended
in most artistic manner. In
one corner Of the parlOr tepee
OF cornstalks was erected, the
home of the fortune teller, which
was source of much pleasure to
the young people, even the older
ones were eager for a glimpse
into the future. After marching
to music, sitting around the
burning caldron and listing to
ghosts stories, the ghostly attire
was shed and visits made to the
cellar where uncanny sights and
weird noises were seen and heard.
AT ten O'Clock the dining room
was thown open and delicious
refreshment served. The table
decorations were Of pumpkin
baskets filed with apples, nuts,
raisins, eanly with thirty nina
tire jack o'lanterns, one of
which was given to each guest
as a souvenir, Besides these
goodies, delicious ices ia the
forms of apples, pumpkins, ears
OF corn and autumn leaves, was
served with cake. The rest Of the
evening was a jolly good time
for all with music. AS the mid
night hour drew near the merry
party reluctantly said goodnight,
each vOwing this to be the most
delightful party Of their lives.

What Results show.
General election returns re-
ceived up to press time show
the following results:
William Ii. Taft is elected
President with approximately
29S votes.
Practically no change is indi-
Gated in the complexion of the
National House Of Representa-
tiVes.
The United States Senate will
retain its present Republican
majority.
Gov. Charles K. Hughes has
been reelected in New York
State by about $4,000 plurality.
Indiana has gone for Taft.
Bryan has apparently carried
Nebraska.
Ohio returns are very slow
owing TO the immense ballot, but
Taft has carried it by a large
plurality.
Judge Taft may have a plural
ity in the city of New York,
the first time the big city has
given its vote to a Republican
Presidential candidate since
Bryan lost 1t 1896.
Ahead of Roosevelt
Mr. Taft probably will receive
a greater plurality in New York
State than President Roosevelt
did four years ago. He has ex
ceeded Mr.. ROosevelt's plurality
> in New Jersey and had surpris-
ingly big vote in Massachusetts,. !
The Republican plurality fell
off heavily IN the Middle West,
a matter thoroughly surprising
to Republicans. Speaker Can
non has been reelected by his
usual majority
Representative Payne, of New
York, and Dalzell, Of Pennsyl- /
vania, have been reelected, and

too meagre to justify a classif-

Republican Victory in nlinOis is Complete,
The Republican national and
State tickets have gained COM
plete victory in Illinois, although
the plurallties will probably fall
short Of those obtained by the
patty of 1904. Taft has carried
the State by approximately 1T0,-

Iowa Gives Taft a Plurality Of 10000.
The incomplete returns indi-
cate that Taft has carried Iowa
by a plurality Of from 10000 to
10000 This is tremendous
falling off from the Roosevelt
plurality of 15S, 900 of four years
ago, but it represents only a
slight falling off from the nor
NAL plurality.
Taft Gets $4,000 Plurality in Minnesota
That TAFT carried the State of
Minnesota by figures ranging
anywhere from $4,000 to 100000
is conceded.

Wisconsin with plurality esti-
mated at rs, 600, andGov. David

we'll known that the passage of law
referred to, has always heretofore
been construed as applying only to
blood relations. Hence his sudden
eXactitude is, to say the least, re-
markable, especially when consider
ed in connection with his open and
successful attempt in previous years,
to hire and retain the services of
teachers who did not even hold GER

OF teacher who is a relative of

tanned within the same paragraph of

of the Tribune was present, hence
the account, as it appeared, must
have been written or suggested by

very searching inquiry as to the
source of the inspiration. The Of

been successful in selecting members

w. A. Falconer: The article in
Tuesdays Tribune purporting to be
an account of the proceedings of the
school board was written by Mr..
Moore and is fair sample of that
individuals methods for truth and
fairness. Miss Bently did not ap-
ply for for reelection, notwithstand-
ing that Mr.. Moore tried to have it
appear so. Mr.. Will and Mr.. Moore
in their anxiety to give me a knock,
only lowered themselves still furth-
er in the minds of the people by
their conduct towards her. At a
meeting of the teachers committee
held at Mr.. Wills store, Mr.. Coch-
rane being present, we Recommend
ed the hiring Of teachers
as mentioned in the report. Miss
Dunning and Miss Bentley did not
apply for reelection. Mr.. Cochrane
wrote the report and he suggested
that Miss Dunning and Miss Bently
be recommended for reelection and
that they could then resign. Mr..
Will objected to having Miss WEIGH.
Mr.. Mockler and myself signed the
report. Mr.. Will stated that he
would sign the report if we, Messrs.
Mockler and Falconer, would vote
for ''his" janitor. This was after
Mr.. Cochrane had left the building.
Miss Bentley's standing as a teacher
and resident of this city have not
been injured in the least by the &C
tion of Messrs. Will and Moore, and
these two worthless as far as 1 am
concerned are welcome to all the
pleasure they can get from their &C
ton in the matter.
Miriam H. Bentley: In reference
to the unfair and discourteous &C
count of the proceedings of the board
of education which appeared in your
issue of Tuesday last, I wish to state
that I was not candidate for the
position of teacher in the Bismarck
schools and that my name was pre-
sented entirely without my know
ledge or consent.
The animus and discourtesy ap-
pears more marked when it is noted
that the names of other teachers
who were not candidates were not
presented, and the fact that they
were not candidates was made the
occasion of special mention with the
evident intention of conveying the
impression that the teachers upon
whose reelection vote was taken
were applicants for positions.
AS matter of fact mention was
made, prior to the vote being taken,
that I was not a candidate and my
name was considered with this I'M
derstanding. The same action was
had in regard to another teacher,
being considered in the nature of a
complimentary vote.
Even had been candidate, the
reason given by Mr.. Will for his
action is open to comment, it being

New York, Dec. 1.-The processes
through which the Standard Oil trust
was liquidated and it's thirty subsid-
larry companies brought under control
of the present Standard Oil company
of New Jersey were the development
in interesting detail today by John
d. Archbold under cross examination
in the federal court suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil company.
Archbold declared that the trust
had been liquidated in the period of
years from 1891 to 1899 with all good
faith to obey the mandate of the Ohio,
supreme court ordering the trust dis.
solved. There was no Interior mo-
tive in the fact that only about fif-
tq-one per cent Of the trust certifi-
Gates were liquidated into the stocks
of the subsidiary companies, said Mr..
Archbold. Small holders declined to
preferring to retain their
certificates which had a market value
rather than to obtain definite samll
parts on the small minor companies.
Archbold made it plain under a,
series OF interrogations by counsel.
that the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey had been selected as the
holding company because the laws
of New Jersey were congeniaI in the
treatment OF corporations. All hold
