SHE DID NOT Love
BRYNJOLFSON

Grand Forks, N. D., April 4.-The
trial of the suit of S. R. Reid VS.. B. S.
Brynjolfson to recover damages in the
sum of $4,000 for the alienation of
the affections Of the plaintiffs wife,
came to an abrupt end yesterday aft
ernoon, when Judge C. F. Templeton
sustained the motion of the defend
ants counsel for dismissal of the
action on the ground that the evidence
failed to substantiate the claims made
in the pleadings that Mrs. Reds affec-
tons had been alienated, counsel for
defendant contended, while the evil
dence of Mrs. Reid yesterday morning
was to the effect that she had no affec-
tion for Brynjolfson and had resisted
his advances.
The motion for dismissal came after
the plaintiff had rested. Arguments in
favor of the granting Of the motion
| were made by Tracy R. Bangs, and S
]. Crowley opposed the granting of the
motion. Judge Templeton decided t.
dismiss the case and the jury was
discharged.

WOMAN NEARLY
COOKED TO Death

Drayton, N. D., April AFTER
building good fire in the kitchen
range, at her home in this city this
morning, Mrs Charles Edwards was
taken with a fainting spell and fell
headforward upon the range, and
was horribly burned.
Realizing that she was being burn
ed and yet unable to move, Mrs.
Edwards called frantically for help,
but before help came she had been
burned SO badly that she was not
expected to live through the day.
When removed from the scorchine
range, large pieces of Mrs. Edwards
flesh dropped from the body. The
Inflated woman had been i'll las
evening and it is supposed that thu
illness suddenly returned while sh'
was working about the kitchen
causing her to faint and fall upol
the stove.

SOCIALISTS
Hold Meeting in New York
and DenOunCe Police
for Past Actions

New York, April Without the
semblance of disorder and under the
surveillance of scores of police and
detectives, 1900 persons took part in
a meeting of the socialist party in
Grand Central park today. The pur-
pose of the gathering was to discuss
the attitude of the authorities in not
permitting them to hold a public
meeting in Union square last Satur-.
day and to let it be known that the
socialists were not in sympathy with
the act of the bomb-thrower.
| The police had warned the speakers
against violent utterances, and the
speeches were mild. Robert Hunter, a
socialist, who had been announced as
one of the speakers, did not appear.
Resolutions were passed denouncing
the city officials for failing to give
/ work to the unemployed and for with
holding permission for the meeting in
Union square.

LOCAL OPTION Will BE DECIDED IN illinois TUESDAY

Chicago, ILL.,, April 4.-Today saw
the formal but not actual closing
of one of the most spectacular and
vigorous campaigns waged in this
state since the civil war. The sole

Illinois the voters will be called upon
Tuesday to decide whether dram
shops shall continue their existence

the state law which became effective
on July 1, 1907. About 1,150 of the
1,205 townships of the state and
about 1900 cities and villages are
affected. In addition the saloon
question has reached seven other
counties in one form or another.

since last November, have been

HEARING ON M'CuMbER'S
NATIONAL GRAIN INSPEC-
ton Bill IN full Swing

Washington, D. c., April 4.-There
were some warm spots in the hear
ing on the McCumber grain inspec
ton before the senate committee on
agriculture late yesterday. Mr..
Greeley, Chicago commission mer-
chant who said he had been fighting
the present system of grain inspec-
ton for twenty years, and who said
he had been working with the farm
ers to break up what he called fraud
ulent practices, took up most of the
time of the session. Mr.. Greeley
was taken in hand by Senator Money,
who asked him as to authority under
the constitution for extension of in
spection by the federal government.
Mr.. Greeley said he believed it
was constitutional. Mr.. Money,
however, stated that he believed it
better to leave inspection in the
hands of state authorities.
Have you ever gone to the local
authorities and made complaint
about these alleged fraudulent prac-
tices?"
Eyes Sir" was the reply, "bet we
were unable to get very far
'But every citizen has the right tc
go to the grand jury" continued
Mr.. Money. Before you come here
you should exhaust your rights un.
der the state law, and another thing

who are now inspecting grain under
state laws from becoming inspec-

Washington, D. c., April AR
bitration treaties between Great Brit

ed at the state department today.
Ambassador Bryce and Secretary
Root acted on the British treaty and
the secretary and Mr.. o. Skybakk,
secretary of legation and charge of
the Norwegian legation, signed the
treaty with Norway. The conven-
lions follow the lines of the previous

are naturally better fitted for the
work on account of their experience
and probably would be appointed. ;"
Mr.. Greeley could not answer that
question very satisfactorily.
Senator Dolliver pointed out that
eral supervision closely to meat in
tended for interstate shipment and
for export He did not believe this
bill would confine federal opera
lions so closely. Mr.. McCumber,
however, contended in reply that it
would.
T. R.. Ballard of st. Louis was on
the stand for short time. He was
asked by Senator Gore how it would
be possible to distinguish between
grain intended for local consumption
and that intended for interstate COM
merce Mr.. Ballard thought it would
have to be inspected out by federal
! inspectors.
| Senator Dolliver started a free-for-
all discussion when he gave it as his
| opinion that there would not be
| nearly as much complaint if dealings
in options and futures of grain were
! stopped This brought practically
all of the visiting advocates of the
bill to their feet, with the announce
ment that if the dealing in futures
was stopped, congress would be mob
bed by farmers demanding the re-
peal of such a law.

Against these tactics the saloon

Both sides are claiming victory to-

of the Illinois prohibition committee
said in formal statement:
cit is probable that more than
5000 saloons will be put
out of business and that less
than 5000 square miles in this state
will be territory where saloons will
be licensed Fifty counties will be

in the popular vote will be more
than 100000.

While Famous Shooting Done by the Maryland viii Not
Be Beaten the Bdtteship Work Is Fine
Bob Evans Fleet Has Done Some Wonderful SHOOTING and
Scores Will Surprise the World

San Diego, Cal, April 4.-Rear
Admiral Thomas, commander-in-
chief Of the Atlantic feet, transferred
his flag from the Minnesota, at the
head of the second squadron to the
Connecticut, which carried Rear
Admiral Evans ensign on the long
cruise from Hampton Roards and
which joined the fleet in Magda-
lena bay last night.
With the elevation of Admiral
Thomas, Rear Admiral Sperry be-
comes second in command of the fleet
{ and it is stated that when the ships
set sail from Magdalena bay the
Alabama, which is his flagship, will
be at the head of the second squad
ron.
Under this arrangement the entire
fourth division including the Ala
bama, Illinois, Kearsarge and Ken
lucky, will move up to the third di-
vision rank. The third division, in
Guiding the Minnesota, Maine, Mis-
souri, and Ohio, will drop back to
E the last place.
Target practice at Magdalena bay
+ is ended. The general belief here
is that none of the battleships has
succeeded in surprising the record
recently made by the Maryland OF
the Pacific squadron. Battleships
and armored cruisers are considered
in the same class in the computation

of target records. The fact that
none of the big ships from the At
lantic has broken the Maryland's
record does not mean that they have
not done splendid work, in fact, it is
declared, the scores when given,
will show higher average percent
age of hits per minute than ever
before attained by the navy.
The Kentucky, Virginia, Louisiana
and Minnesota are looked upon as
likely to head the list of Atlantic
ships. Some of these ships, it is
believed, will be found to have made
the wonderful record of averaging
more than six hits per minute. per
gun. This average includes the
scores of the big eight and twelve
inch turret rifles. The auxiliary
cruiser, Buffalo, which arrived yes
terday with mail from the fleet left
for Magdalena bay again at one
o'clock this afternoon, carrying the
usual large number of mail pouch

The Buffalo will leave Magdalena
