DAKOTA LEADS IN HEALTH.

Statistics Show Lowest Death Rate
of Any State in the Union.
The report Of the bureau OF vital
statistics of the state shows that
South Dakota, with a death rate OF
"a per 1000, stands at the head
CT the states of the union. While
the reports sent in by county officials
may be at fault in ome cases a
check is kept by the department
through papers all over the state,
and those not reported are caught
in that way. The percentage is based
on the census report of 1905, and on
the present actual population would
not likely be more than eight to
the 1000. No other state reports
less than twelve, and some Of them
show as high as sixteen to the 1000.
Pneumonia is shown to be the
most fatal disease, with 500 victims
for the year. The greatest number
of deaths by months show that
January is the most fatal in this
disease, with September the lightest.
Second in the list is the n for

source numbering 296 for the year,
most Of them occurring at the age
of about 50, the oldest being lO4 and

Twenty-three had passed the age of
90.

CARLSON WEARY
OF THE "PEN"
HAS SERVED FOUR OF HIS SEW
ENTEEN YEARS SENTENCE
FOR ROBBERY, AND NOW TRY
ING TO INTEREST HIS JURY IN
HIS PARDON, -.

Four years in prison has satisfied
Albert Carlson that the penitentiary
is not to his liking,
Carlson is serving a 17-year-old SEN
tence for daring robbery at Niagara
this state, Nov. 8, 1904, in company
with Ismar Bruce, of which the two,
men were convicted.
Now Carlson has written the clerk
of court o. land Forks county asking
for the names of the jurors who
found him guilty.
Carlson has been at the penitentiary
less than four years, and is evidently
getting tired of the place, and has
requested the names of the jurors so
that he might write to each one of
them and get them to change their
mind as to his guilt, and in this
manner secure his pardon. Clerk of
Court Spaulding has complied with
the request, and Carlson will now
probably busy himself for several
months to come in writing letters.
In 1904 the robbery was the sensa-
ton of Grand Forks county and every
day during the trial the court room
was crowded to it's capacity. Carlson
and Bruce entered the store of Chas.
Hursch at Niagara, and at the point
of revolvers succeeded in warding off
seven men and robbing Hursch of $1o4
and made their escape. Bruce, who
was tried at the same time, was sem
fenced to seventeen years and six
months.

Regain, who was sentenced by Judge
Cowan to serve fifteen days in the
county jail for beating his wife until
she was black and blue in the face,
completed his sentence yesterday and
he is once more enjoying his freedom
and the pure fresh air for which the
state of North Dakota is famous
throughout the land of he free, the
brave and the true. Justly or I'M
justly, Regain has been having his
troubles during the past year and
a half. When he was arrested over q
year ago charged with raping his
daughter and for which crime, owing
ing to he ways of the crime, owing
to the ways Of court delays of which
the layman is supposed to know
naught, he has not yet been tried,
he was well-to-do farmer. He has
been sued for debt, sued for d.
vorce, arrested again and served time
for assault, and spent most Of his
time in jail in default Of bonds. His
litigatioHs have cost him thousands of
dollars, and he remarked to a man
with whom he was talking few days
ago that when he left jail at the ex-
piration Of his sentence he would go
out into the world friendless and pen
niless. But he is neither. He has
still one friend at least, and an equity
In some land, and as long as he has
a dollar he will not be wholly with

RAIL- RATES
r. r. COMMISSION ASKED TO CON-
VENE AT FARGO AUGUST IS TO
TRY TO SECURE BETTER RATES
FOR THIS STATE. .>" IN

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 20-Through the
efforts of the Fargo Commercial club
working in conjunction with like clubs
over the state, Governor Burke has
issued special call to the state rail-
road commission to convene in special
session in Fargo to consider the rail-
road tariff of the state with the posi-
BILE end in view of getting the rates
of the state, and possibly the north
west, regulated to the satisfaction of
the merchants Of the North Dakota
towns. s%s= ., -. :.
The session has been called for Aug.
rs, and unless some unforeseen delay
keeps the members of the commission
from being in Fargo on that date, the
representatives of the other clubs in
the state will be asked to attend on
the day set.
The move was started in Fargo by
the Commercial club, and has been
under way for some time. The present
rates and distance tariff in force in
this state has been handicap to the
business of the state since the Min
nesota rates were put into effect, and
changes that Offset them have been
handicapping the traffic for number
of years. ri
The action will probably renew the
fight between the Twin Cities and
Fargo and Grand Forks, and will make
things interesting this fall
Every merchant is interested in the
movement, and all are awaiting the
outcome. Data compiled from action
taken in other states will be presented
to the commission, and as that body
has the full authority to fix the rates
1t is believed the first meeting will re.
suit in ultimate good for the whole
state and lead to change in the tar
iff for the whole northwest west OF
| Minnesota. .

H TAKING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
u STATE WILL HAVE TO PAY.

The Minneapolis Journal has the
following about the trouble North Da-
kota troops got into at Pasco:
I Seattle. Aug. 10. The state of
North Dakota will be asked to pay
for the damange done to two restau-
rants at Pasco,. Wash, by Its nat NAL
guardsmen while they were on tLeir
way to the mansuvers at American
Lake. The proprietors and townsmen
are greatly enraged by the ruin
wrought by the hungry soldiers and
a nice point In federal law will prob
ably be raised as result OF th ! issue.
Feeling that the charges In the
Northern Pacific and Eagle restau-
rants were too high. three companies
OF North Dakota guardsmen raided
both places Monday. carried away ey-
erything edible and were only pre-
vented from. confiscating all cigars by
an employee who presented q loaded re-
volyer.
When the train bearing the soldiers
to American Lake reached Pasco the
troopers filed into the station restau.
rant where they proceeded to help
themselves to everything In sight. The
station restaurant did not last long
and then the men went to the Eagle,

where the raid was continued. They
started to help themselves to cigars,
when they were confronted by Dennis
McNeal, armed with gun. r
The guardsmen had left their shoot

with two cases ofSfruit.
Still Another Version.
A special to the Fargo News, under
date of Tacoma, Aug. 10, says: r
The reports circulated from here in
the newspapers to the effect that the
North Dakota boys have been rioting
and disturbing the peace, are un.
founded.
The story is greatly exaggerated
and Adjutant General Poole is much
incensed at the report. The boys
were heavily oyercharged at the sta
ton restaurant at Pasco, and created
a disturbance, but there was no riot
Lieutenant Hines of Bismarck is
still under arrest, and will be tried BY

ceiving much praise from the regular
officers. The big maneuver will be
