New York, N. Y, Nov. 19.-With

pany, the testimony of John D. Rock
efeller, president of the oil combine,
on direct examination in the federal
suit to dissolve the Standard Oil COM

close this afternoon.
1t was found that Mr.. Rockefeller,

tonight that the history of the COM

stand by John D. Archbold, vice pres

Senator Hansbrough tells the Mi
not papers on the occasion of his
recent visit there, that the story of
a combination of his forces with
those of Marshall and Gronna, to the
end that he be supported for the
senatorship, is without foundation,
and that the meeting Of the three
gentlemen in Minneapolis was only
casual and accidental. Senator
Hansbrough also states that he has
not announced himself as a candi-
date for the senate, and his letter
is probably only to be considered
as statement Of his receptiyity, in
the event that the members OF THE
legislature should consider that the
verdict of the people in the genera
election was not an expression OF
the real will of the Republican party.
It is possible, therefore, that the
senator will await an expression of
the members of the legislature, eth
er publically or through personal re-
plies to his letter, before declaring
whether or not he will be a candi-
date before the legislature.

ment of Rev. A. S. Hale, the new pas

Rev. Hale said that he did not mean

Another Chicago Candy Man
Has a Wife Moving
for Divorce
He Says, Having Blown All
His Sugar She Wants
to Cut Loose

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Like Benedetta
Allegretti, does William e. Sor Wis,
a candy man, find himself drawn into
a divorce suit because his wife be-
lieyes he was too sweet to his "candy
heart" clerks. ...
Sor Wis is engaged in the confec
tionary business at 106 Clark street
where he has been located for many
years. He has employed many beau
tiful women clerks since engaging
in business. His wife charges that
he has been intimate with many of
them, including a 'lady'' barber,
who, she says, was allowed to solic-
it barber trade in the candy store.
She appeared before Judge Honor.
yesterday to plead for an absolute
divorce. Like Mrs. Allegretti, she
was dressed in the height of fashion.
She wore a gray suit, gray hat and
carried mink muff.
Using the same plea as Allegretti
did, Scr Wis pleaded that he was
poor man. He claimed that he had
a considerable amount of money at
the time he was married, but his
wife dissipated his fortune. He de-
MED being worth $40.
y He had too many candy heart
girls" said Mrs. sor Wis. 81 know of
three - Feany Keoford, Iva Power
and Mrs. Marie Wilson, with whom
he was particularly friendly. He
tried to make engagements with
Minnie Smith, one Of the clerks. He
was friendly with Margaret Done,
another clerk, too.
Several times he tried to intro
duce these so-called friends Of his
to me. He expected me to take them
into my social set and entertain them
but | could not do it. He brought
Mrs. Koeford to our home and let
her room there"
All of the foregoing testimony Sor
Wis denies vigorously.
4 don't know half the women she
talks about" he said last night. "she
has put me out OF business. I am
not worth anything now. She took
my property and all Of my money. I
am down and out, due only to her."
Judge rionore decided to contilue
the case. M

that good wages were to be obtained
in the harvest fields
Said he: There is good money IN
harvesting and threshing in North
Dakota for the man who is not afraid
of work. They pay $3.50 a day to
harvesters and S2.75 to threshers this
fall. This includes board and lodging
The wages were not quite as high as
the previous year for the reason that
there was more farm help to be Sc
cured. In past years there has been a
great scarcity of help on the farms.
When left North Dakota could have
secured plenty of jobs on farms that
would pay me sS5 or $40 month with
board and lodging for the entire win
ter. % 8
"The farmers had big crops this
season. The soil in the districts l Wis
tied is loose and mellow, but never
muddy. No matter how hard it rains
blowing can be carried on within
few hours after the downpour. When
it is extremely dry, the ground does
not bake. Black loan prevails, with
enough sand in it to make it easy to
work. The farmers raise almost every
thing in the grain and vegetable lines.
The potato crop was splendid this
fall and the potatoes were as smooth
and speckless as an apple. saw good
| corn raised in addition to the grains.
| The stalks do not grow as large as in
Wisconsin but the ears mature fully.
Farmers who go to the state are
enabled to prosper by renting quar-
ter section. They get the first crop
for breaking the land. Usually the
| first crop is fax and it is no trick at
all to raise $4,000 to 1000 bushels on
$50 acres. This fax sells at 81 to
$1.15 bushel, and farmers thus clear
$1,000 Or more the first year. They
| have to do no work with the fax, ex-
cept blowing, seeding and threshing.
They can get the fax threshed for
about fifteen cents per busheI.
Land is advancing rapidly in price
and where two years ago $14 would
buy an acre, now the price is from
$25 to $26 an acre, according to the
extent to which it has been cultivated.
While there were few trees a few
years ago, tree growing is now being
extensively cultivated. There is
plenty Of game for the hunter both as
to birds and fur animals. A bounty
OF $3.50 each is paid upon wolves.
North Dakota is temperance
state and it works with entire sue
cess, as far as / could see. There
was no drunkenness in evidence like
there is where saloons are maintained
and people who might be expected to
squander their money in drinking ap-
peared prosperous ....

did YOU EVER See

MUDDLE IN EsfMoNs-KIDDER
LEGISLATIVE FIGHT GROWS
MORE COMPLICATED AS THE
DAYS PASS AN ATTORNEY
HOLDS THAT sTREETER, EVEN,
WAS NOT ELECTED.

John Story Of Steele, was in the
city Yesterday trying to find out
whether an election in the Twenty
sixth legislative district can be held
to settle the tie between him and
q. A. Herolz Of Linton for member
of the house.
Under the law the time for holding
the special election lwithin ten days
after the regular election) has pass
ed and there seems to be no one
to decide what course It to be pur-
sued TO settle the tie. The law pro-
yides that the sheriff Of the county
shall call the election, and does not,
apparently. contemplate that two or
more counties shall comprise q legis-
latiye district as Is the case in this
