The Homesteader.

The Homesteaders, fraternal society
having for its object the payment Of
death and accidental claims, is being
organized in Oakes. This society was
admitted to do business in North Dakota
last year and commenced operations in
June. From June to December the
society wrote over a million dollars
worth of insurance in North Dakota
and established several very prominent
lodges. The supreme. officers are at
Des Moines, Iowa, and the society has
been chartered to do business in
nineteen states. 1t meets with favor

examined it's policy, ritual, etc.

young men came over from Oakes
Monday morning for the purpose of
making petition for second citizens

Christianson and John Olson declared
their intention.

Both the Glendale papers are devot-
ing considerable space to this paper at
the present time. Even the little squib
about Clay Mccartney helping Mayor
Potter in his appointments drew fire
from both of them. The Times thought
it had scoop on the Glendale brethren
in giving this news item-but it seems
we can't please them in any way and
we're going to quit trying. So there

JERSEY POLITICIAN
Sent TO JAIL
Serious Charges Against Repub-
Iican Leader Of MiddIesex.

New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 5. -
William E. Burns, president of the
board of education of Highland Park
and leader of one of the warning Re-
publican factions in Middlesex county,
was arrested on serious charges
brought against him by Nora Gilliland,
thirteen-year-old girl, whom Burns
had taken into his employ as house
maid.
Mr. Burns was unable to obtain bail,
which was fixed at $4,000, and he was
committed to the county Jail.
'"The charge" said he, "is absolutely
unfounded. This is case Of black
mail pure and simple. The young girl
has been working in my family for
some time. heard an intimation
little while ago that there would be
trouble if did not put up some money,
| did not dream of this kind of
trouble"

most upright. patriotic, brave. for
ooth are equally SO. Both mean
equally well toward their country. The
real question Is which candidate will
make the best president? Which Is
the wisest and steadiest? Which man
would you choose as administrator of
your estate? Which would you select
to manage your business? Which has
the best training and the most expert
ence ?
"Mr. Bryan never has handled a sin.
gle foreign problem. He has governed
no Philippines, regenerated no Cuba,
Dullt no canal, avoided no alien dan
ger, saved us from no threatened peril.
Mr.. Taft has done all. It was his
genius for the practical and devotion
to humanity that took Philippine cha
os and made Philippine order; took
Philippine hate and changed it to
Philippine love. 1t was he whose
counsel President Roosevelt sought at
every crisis OF his historic administra-
ton; he who helped avert war when
little politicians and narrow minds
would have plunged us into conflict.
1t was William H. Taft whom our
president when confronted with for
eign perplexities and with the awful
weight cf our ninety millions welfare
on his heart, sought for strength and
wisdom; and il is William H. Taft
more than any KAN ever called to the
leadership of the American people who
has had the best training, the widest
experience and the wisest teaching to
fit him for that glorious but serious
task
eryan's Rlghtfui and Useful Place.
LET no man denounce Mr.. Bryan.
Such men are necessary to human
progress. Always such men have been
the voice Of a protest, but never the
statesmen Of cause. Always they
have been the urgers Of reform, but
never the doers of the work
"Mr. Bryan Is an Aaron, but not a
Moses; a Henry, but not Washing
ton; a Wendell Phillips, but not an
Abraham Lincoln. He is the storm of
unrest which clears the atmosphere,
but not the trade winds that carry to
port the freighted ships of peoples
hope.
-Four years ago, in his own home,
paying tribute to his character and
mind, I called him a dreamer who be-
holds happy visions but achieves no
useful deed. His is the mind that
thinks of the barren field bending with
grain; but his is not the plowman's
hand, the sewers craft or the CLEAN
er's husbandry. The poets dream of
an undiscovered Utopia has cheered
us all; but the Pilgrims, actually land
ing on Plymouth Rock, planted the
real tree of liberty, beneath whose real
shade we rest and by whose real fruits
we live"

Hutton was attracted to the street by

to repeat the tune as often as the coin
would pay. Then Hutton began dane

Philadelphia Lumber Merchant
Under Arrest.

RevoIver-Was Seized and Disarm-
ed, and George SpiegIe, Pointing
Pistol at His Brothers Legs, Fired.
Bullet Entered His Back, Causing 4
Wound From Which He Died-Dead
Man Had Unenviable Record.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-Following a
struggle for the possession of re-
volver, Harry Spiegle was shot and
mortally wounded here by his brother,
George M. Spiegle, well-known lum-
Der merchant. Harry Spiegle, accord
ing to the information received by the
police, called at the offices Of the
George M. Spiegle Lumber company,
pf which his brother Is the head, and
demanded money with which to defray
his expenses to Tennessee. The money
was refused, whereupon Harry drew a
revolver and sprang at his brother.
The latter seized the wrist of the
frenzied man, and with the assistance
OF several clerks managed to wrest
the revolver from him before he could
shoot, though he had twice pulled the
trigger of the weapon. George Spiegle,
1t appears from the statements made
to the detectives, pointed the revolver
at his brothers legs and pulled the
trigger with the intention of shooting
him in the leg, but the cantankerous
brother was on a stairway leading to
the Office, and when the revolver ex-
ploded the bullet went high and
struck him in the back, causing a
wound from which he died several
hours later in hospital. The lumber
merchant surrendered to the police.
Harry Spiegle was for several years
the representative of the Spiegle Lum-
Der company at Nashville, Tenn.
While there, it is said, he deserted his
wife for southern girl with whom he
eloped. George Spiegle went south
and brought his sister-in-law and chill
dren home. Subsequently a warrant
for his arrest was issued on a charge
OF desertion and he was arrested in
Asheville, N. G.. The dead brother
later got into trouble over some money
matters at Marshall, N. c., and again
the lumber merchant went to his res
cue. He returned to Philadelphia a
few days ago, aud at the time he was
demanding money of George Spiegle
to take him back to Tennessee, where
1t is said he wanted to join the woman
for whom he left his wife, Mrs. Spie-
gle,, according to the police, was at
city hall trying to secure a warrant
for his arrest on a charge of desertion
and non-support.
