THE MINoT CONVENTION

The county conventions to elect
delegates to the state convention at
Minot have all been held. Burleigh
county was the last county to hold
It's convention, and on Saturday Sc
lected Stalwart delegation to the
state convention. A good deal has
been said pro and con of the respec-
tive delegations, as to whether they
were 1nsurgent or Stalwart, and
possibly, with respect to some of
the delegations, the exact lineup will
not be determined until the conven-
tion has been held.
It is significant that the last claim
of the Insurgent claim bureu gives
the progressives $50 votes, or Just
six more than enough to control the
convention. Significant because the
most experienced and practfced
claimer could claim nothing more
than has been done in this last es-
innate. And as the utmost of the
lnsurgent claims gives only six more
than enough to control the conyen-
ton, an analysis of the Insurgent

A letter from C. w. Mott, general
immigration agent of the Northern
Pacific road, to E. H. Wilson, the
Kidder county ranchman, should be
read with interest by the people of
this section. Mr.. Mott is always
alive to possibilities for the develop
ment of North Dakota, and his sug-
gestion for bean culture as a means
for the profitable employment of the
soil is worthy of consideration. He
points out that in sections of Mich
igan where the soil and climate are
much similar to ours, bean culture
has been profitable. even more so
than the raising of other crops.
North Dakotas have from the be-
ginning been welded fast to the
raising of small grains, that require
no cultivation after sowing, and
that yield what might be called an
easy crop il not always a full one
The result is seen in many parts of
the state in the cry from means Of
cleaning fields that have become
foul through repeated sowing of

new SALEM items
INcENDiARlES GET IN THEIR
WORK ON PHILIP BLANK
AGAIN.

New Salem, N. D., May 1.-Two
stacks of hay just outside the city
limits, belonging to Philip Blank, We're
set on fire and burned Friday night.
The hay was in the pasture, quite
distance from the road, and the fire
could not have been accidental. The
same thing has occurred now for five
years-hay and pasture land being
burned every year. Everybody has a
suspicion as to who does the dirty
work, but the proof is lacking. II
money could secure the proof of who
did the deed, Mr.. Blank would, no
doubt, pay upwards of thousand dol
lars for the same. The loss is forty
tons of good hay and a wagon.
The Commercial club is arranging
for farmers institute to be held here
in June.
The city park has been fixed up
and now has a beautiful green ap-
pearance. New Salem has as fine a
park as any town of it's size in the
world.
The Commercial club reelected it's
old officers at the meeting last even
ing-Max Schultze, president; F. q.

AMERICANS BECOMING MORE
PRoFANE

The habit of using profane Ian
guage seems to be gaining the pre-
dominating influence over the peo-
pie and is extending to those in all
walks of life. It is spreading among
the children and they are falling
into the way of profaning the Al
mighty and the Savior's names, thus
causing them to lose respect for
everything that is sacred, and harm
ing them in other ways, of which
they are unconcious. Not only is
disappearing the Almighty's name
one of the greatest sins that exists,
breaking as it does one of the strong
est commandments, but it is also
against the laws of the land, that
have been made to prohibit it, but
which unfortunately, are not enforc-
ed. The crildren cannot escape from
becoming addicted to it, owing to it's
great prevalence among men, extend
ing even among the women also.
1t is not the oath that we hear
from the lower classes, the drunken
man or the angry man that is the
worst; but it is the cold blooded
profanity often including the use of
the Almighty and Savior's names.
that you hear from the supposed bet
ter classes, who are presumed to
have thorough Christian educa-
ton. And this too, without any
provocation, other than to give vent
to vile thoughts.
OF late many societies are taking
the matter up with a view to try and
diminish this evil in the United
States and Canada This may assist
to certain extent, but owing to
the habit having become such
fixed one amongst the millions of
thoughtless people it will need more
stringent measures to rid the coun-
try of it. First and foremost the
laws that exist should be vigorously
enforced. This is being done in
many places. There should be peo-
pie In all the cities and towns who
will take this matter up, and insist
upon having the laws enforced.
Many of the leading journals are
doing their share in trying to check
the evil but there are many who
might do more, and they should be
unanimous in insisting on the laws
being enforced, and SO save the ma
ito from becoming further known
as the most foul mouthed nation of
the world. We see by many articles
published throughout the country
and abroad that it is already becom-
ing known as such, and that Ameri-
cans are now distinguished abroad
by their use of profanity. This is
not creditable and every effort should
be put forth to operate against it.

TO CLEAN OUT
MOUSE RIVER
Project On to Dredge Ii
to Prevent Annual
Overflow

Westhope, N. D., May .9.-The
dredging of Mouse river through
Bottineau county is almost sure
thing, and by that means thousands
of acres Of the best land in North
Dakota will be reclaimed. A meet
ing of the count ydrainage board was
held at Bottineau at which meeting
the state engineer and number of
farmers living adjoining the river,
were present. The state engineer
had a map showing the river in de-
tail, and it was made plain by it
that in Bottineau county there was
only fall of eight feet, while in the
nine miles Of the river over the line
in Canada there was an eight-foot
fall. If the river was dredged there
would be fall of sixteen feet in the
county and the short distance that
it would have to be dredged in Can
ada, and that fall would be sufficient
to keep the water in the channel
made by the dredge and reclaim
these thousands of acres of bottom
land. The state engineer thinks the
plan feasible, and the property own
ers present at the meeting were
unit in declaring that they would
stand their pro rata share of the
work.
There seems to be no doubt but
that the Canadian government will
allow the river over the line to be
dredged for the nine miles as pro-
vided by the plans of the state en-
gineer. John Trimble, of this city,
and w. HI. Mcintosh of Bottineau,

not have drainage board appointed

mony with the Bottineau county
board. With the cooperation of

is no doubt but that the Mouse river.

claim will be both interesting and
instructive.
In Bottineau county it has all |
along been agreed that the delega-
ton was divided equally as between
Insurgents and Stalwarts. That was
the agreement at the time the county
convention was held. Later advices
say that the delegation from Bottin-
eau county stands with 10 Stalwarts
and Six Insurgent votes. The Insurg-
ent claim bureau lists the entire
delegation from Bottineau in the In
surgent column at Minot By
correction of this list of delegates
alone, the Insurgents have lost the
convention without regarding any
| other county.
| The Insurgents claim Adams Co.,
with votes. There is no basis what
ever for this claim except that it is
necessary to give any color of prob
ability of truth whatever to their
claims. Adams county is Stalwart.
The Insurgents claim Benson coun-
| ty with 8 votes. Another exam
| pie of claiming out of necessity.
| Benson county elected a delegation
of Stalwarts.
Eddy county, with votes, three of
the votes of Foster county, all of
McHenry, which elected Stalwart
delegation, 6 of the votes of Nelson
county, the entire delegation of Sarg
ent county which stands Stalwarts
| and Insurgents, Steele, Griggs, and
| Wells are claimed by the Insurgents.
To those who are familiar with
several delegations, these claims are
ridiculous and nothing more.
Billings, Williams and Oliver coun-
ties are set aside as being instruct
ed for Hansbrough. Senator Hans
brough may have some friends on
these delegations, but so far as his
ability to inlist them with the In
surgent cause is concerned, it does
not exist

The resolutions passed by the Re-
publican county convention have the
right ring. Harmony is urged as
well as conservatism in the conduct
of the campaign prior to the primary
election, that the enemy-the Demo-
cratic party-may have as little ma
terial as possible to use to the disad-
vantage to the Republican nominees.

HE LAMBASTED ALL
 CANDIDATE W.B. CLEARY
The Doctrines of the Independence
 Party ExPounded Last Night.

Considering the chill of a late Octo- Der night, it was a good crowd that assembled at the city hall plaza last night to hear w B. Cleary, the inde- pendence party candidate for delegate to congress. There were republicans, democrats and socialists, but that sec ton of the seats which had been re- served for that element of the indepen- dence party, consisting of James J. Healy, was noticeably vacant. MT Healy, in his capacity of the inde- pendence party, had warned MT. Cleary in a published letter of a column or more that he did not approve of him and "Raus init Im' from the leadership of the party. MT. Healy in the letter, claimed the discredit of having created MT. Cleary, the party candidate. HiJ objection to him was that he had not been impartial enough in hurling ana themas at the two old parties He wanted him to give email alike and if any thing to bear down a little harder on the republicans. MT. Healy had not been out of the democratic fold so long that he could calmly bear the strokes which were being laid on its back by his candidate
 The audience was called together by a bUgler but still the independence party in the person of Mir. Healy did not come and MT. Cleary was forced to proceed in his absence.

DEATH OF MRS. KNOX
 AT 3:SO A. N. YESTERDAY
Her Husbands Condition Last Night Was Worse and He Has Taken no Nourishment.

Mrs. E. B. Knox, the victim of her insane husbands revolver on Mon day morning, sank rapidly after mid night at the Sisters hospital on Tuesday morning and passed into the sleep of death at 3:30 o'clock. Moth ing transpired at the hospital of spe- cial interest until that time except what has already been related. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of Mohn & Driscoll, and Cor | oner Johnstone was early notified and empaneled a jury consisting of Will lis Graham. w. P. Barr. James Miller s. P. Hoeffer, Luke Hardin and R. O. Green. Dr Palmer was directed to hold an autopsy.
 The autopsy revealed but two in teresting facts. One was that in ad- dition to the organs mentioned in yesterdays paper having been per forated by the bullet, the spleen had also been penetrated, and it was all most beyond belief that bullet could pass through a body in a direct line and come in contact with so many organs of the body. The other fact of special interest was that Mrs Knox had worn a chamois skin sack or pouch in her waist in which it was her custom to keep a small amount of silver. Fragments of both the leather and the coin were found within her body. There was at no time a chance for her recovery. or to lengthen her life by an operation.
 Mir. Knox's condition yesterday was little changed from that of the night before though last evening he seemed to be worse mentally and growing weaker physically, due to his contin- ued abstinence from food. Last night he was again inclined to be violent. He seems to be fully aware of what he has done but the horrors of it do not appeal to him, for he thinks it was all for the best and he does not regret it. He said he believed his wife would have been electrocuted if he had not interfered to save her from such a terrible fate
 All day yesterday he was worried because events moved so slowly and he frequently inquired why they did not do something. He said he knew the day of his execution was at hand and he could not understand the de- lay. He continues to think the bed and almost everything in the room is charged with electricity, and he is suspicious also that some one is try ing to poison him, placing confidence in no one. That is another reason why he refuses to take any nourish- ment and has eaten nothing yet ex- cept ice.
 Relatives of the couple have been fully appraised Of conditions. and a nephew of Mir. Knox named Charles Knox is now en route here from the east. There will be no funeral ar engagements made until after his ar rival The inquest in respect of the death of Mrs. Knox will be held this morning.

carefully prepared index of his remarks which would include the rise and fall of each of the old parties, the rise of the independence party and why, and he further intimated that h would have something to say regarding the downfall of one, James J. Healy. He would also talk on Mark Smith, Ralph Cameron and other matters of a local nature.
 He did so; he talked many hours, for he thought he might as well put in his time that way until his train, for the north started this morning. There W one curious thing about his speech; the longer it lasted the bigger the crowd got, while in most cases audi ences get smaller with the flight of time.
 Mir. Cleary advocated the initiative, the referendum and the recall, and everything else that the pOpulists used to want, and everything that the so- cialists want now. His was an appeal to the dissatisfied, and he urged all to feel dissatisfied.
 On the subject of his repudiation by MT. Healy, MT CIeary said that the SIloe NdS on lle ollleI loot- ne Hdu le- pudiated MT. Healy as long ago as last September, and had kicked him out cf the party. He presented documentary evidence in the shape of a letter from Hugh MIsaacs, who has charge of the independence party business On the coast, showing that MT. Healy had been dropped from membership.
