WHAT THEY SAY

Ses Z 4 : n
One of the Young Fellows: 1T dsl
with some interest I notice that two
of our most prominent aldermen and
leading citizens have already an
.nounced their candidacy for mayor in
the coming city election. Now that,
nominations seem in order would
suggest with all due respect to the
elderly gentlemen who are already
In the fray, that 1T might be a good
thing for a change to put some young
man into the Office of mayor
one, IL such can be found, and sure
ly one ought to be foundWho will
devote a large part of his time to not
only running the mayors office as
usual, but to all matters tending to
upbuild the city---in other words, a
city booster. For a long series of
years we have had business men and
professional men for mayors--all
busy nnen-and as there is little In
the ofice-even honor, as things gem
orally go-these men have given Of
their time more than the place was
worth and a great deal more than
the people generally realized. I am
not finding fault with what has gone
before, but do think the younger
element of the population, after years
of faithful service in the harness at
election time, are entitled to show
down. We have been sedified year
after year with the factional fights
between the mayor and the council
as heirlooms of trouble reaching far
back into the hoary past and with
which the younger men and new com
ers to the city have had nothing to
doand with which they care less
and it has occurred to some Of us
that a mayor disassociated in every
way from the old wars would be q
relief tos our nerves and a great bene-
faction to the city in general. "A great

MERRY in TROUBLE
ARRESTED FOR OBTAINING MON.
EY UNDER FALSE PRETEN-
sES AND Is IN JAIL.

.sf Dickinson Press: C. F. Merry, who
was arrested last week on charge
of obtaining money under, false pre-
tences at Hettinger, was taken to
that town Sunday morning by Sheriff
e. G. Barry of Adams county. Mer-
ry spent two nights in the local jail
and left the city in irons. He was
taken by auto to Hettinger, accom-
panied by Frank Smith, the driver,
and r. "A. McGlynn.. Mrs. Merry left
for that place Sunday via Terry, SO
it is reported.
Further details OF the case show
that Merry arrived in Hettinger at a
time when the two men who knew
him, one of whom was Sheriff Bar
ry, were absent from town. 1t is
alleged that he represented himself
as the advance agent of the railroad
and said that the club was going
to send him to New York to interest
eastern capitalists in the scheme. It
is further alleged that he displayed a
list of stock holders in the road with
prominent names on it and pointed to
one as the signature OF the secretary
Of the Commercial club.
5. DR.. Jones does not recall that Mfr.
Senour's name was mentioned except
as "the secretary Of the Commercial
club. DR.. Johns subscribed 500 and
Merry was about to visit another
when Sherih Barry arrived and recog.
nized In the advance agent OF the
road, - man with an unsavory rep,
utation. Merry Is alleged to have had
a talk with Barry in which ne told
him to say nothing. that everything
was all right. Barry. however, soon
learned what was up and warned
some OF the prospective buyers with
the result that the prisoner made a
hurried exit from town by team and
went to Lennon, where ne is said to
have continued operations along the
same line.
Merry is said to have also repre-.
sented that representatives of the
club were following him and going
through that part Of the country He,
mo doubt, took advantage of the story
which was current here in the city
that the railroad committee of the
club and an engineer were soon To

With a bullet through his heart
Glenn Thompson was found dead in
his room Sunday evening at s o'clock
and the cause Of his death, 80 CALI
bre revolver, lay on the bed beside
him. ..s w ..s.
Letters to his mother and to the
public told the story Of despond dency
and suicide all too plainly.
The last seen Of him was some
time Saturday night, and, rs it was
not unusual for him to remain in his
room at the Grand Pacific hotel a
great deal during the day, 1t was
not until Sunday evening when the
chambermaid tried to enter that
something wrong was suspected and
the matter reported at the Office.
The night clerk went to the room
and finding the door bolted inside
got q bell boy to crawl through the
ltransom and then the awful tragedy
was revealed and the body removed
to his undertaking rooms by Coroner
p. g. Field. iz:s
Thompson was a stenographer in
the. Office of the secretary Of state.
The news of his death soon spread
over the city and caused a great sen.
sation. He had prepared for death
by dressing himself in his best
clothes, putting on a complete change
of clean underclo othing, also a clean
shirt and collar.
The weapon with which he inf1ict
Led death was a new 32-calihe Eyer
Johnson revolver, and ony one
cartridge had been discharged. He
had evidently been dead good many
hours when found. On the bed was
found the above message to the pub
lie.
Thompson was % years of age and
came here from Minot where his par
ents reside, several months ago tr
accept the place In the secretary 81
states Office. He was of a rather
retiring disposition and he was some
what odd In his behavior and appar
emily very despondent, especially the
last few days. .5s5
There is little doubt but that ths
rash deed was the result Of nlenta
weakness as ne had been an inmate
OF the insane asylum, but had beer
discharged as cured. At one time
he attempted TO cut his throat, bu,
had been unsuccessful, but judging
from his last message, he has con
i templated a renewal Of the attempt
since that time. The revolver aset
was q new one and apparently hai
never been used before as the ba.
rel was clean even after the one sho
which ushered his soul into the mex
world, had been fired That he hat
contemplated the deed for Ions
time Is also shown from the fac
that ne must have purchased the re
volyer at Minot. as none Of the loca
dealers sold 1t to him.
He was an exemplary young mar
in his habits and no cause for the
suicide Is known save mental alb
Iteration.
He left sealed and stamped let
ter addressed to his mother which
has been forwarded to her. His peo
pie ordered the body held until the,
could reach here today to take charge
i OF it.

NEED MANY
HARVEST HANDS
Will Probably be Shortage of farm
lab0rerS

Employment Bureau Man Maxson
said Wednesday morning, in talking
about the assertion of Labor Commits
sioner Williams of Minnesota, that the
request for 1000 harvest hands in
North Dakota was far in excess of the
actual needs, said that Williams did
not know what hee was talking about.
why" said he, there is not a har-
vest hand in Devils Lake this morning
that know of. just sent twelve
north on the Farmers Line and have
not a man to fill the requests that
might come in
Harvest has but just commenced
and it is doubtful if there was ever
such shortage of help as there is
now. The crop has ripened earlier
than was expected and the farmers
are hard at work harvesting the ripe
grain and unless they can secure help
there will in all probability be loss
to them.
Mr.. Maxson has placed an adver-
tisement in the twn city dailies asking
for 500 workmen in this vicinity. He
says that if there are unemployed in
this vicinity it is because they don't
want to work, for there is plenty of
work for them. This seems to be the
condition all over.

Saturday afternoon the North Da-
kota Militia will start on their trip to.
the Pacific coast where they will be in
camp for about fifteen days at Ameri-
can Lake which is situated near Ia
coma. Previous to this year the var
ious companies have camped here and
the taking Of them to the coast this
year has been a big factor in the up
building of the militia of the state.
Although it, will be far greater ex-
pense to the state the deciding of this
camping ground this year has been the
cause of increasing the number of the
members of the militia to a decided
extent. The trip will be a most enjoy
able one and those not having a
chance to see that portion of the coun-
try heretofore will be greatly benefit
ed as the passing through the Rocky
and Cascades. Mountains is a sight
well worth seeing and there are many
other points Of interest that will be
entertaining to the members.
Part of the companies of the state
will leave their various cities over the
Northern Pacific while the companies
on the Great Northern line will travel
over that route. "a special train on the
Great Northern will be loaded with
about 400 men and leave Fargo some
time Saturday morning with Company
