n. D. men Who
MADE GOOD

Washington, March 27.-Two North
Dakota men, who formerly occupied
minor positions on the senate side of
the capitol, are to be prominently
identified with the Taft administration.
They are Fred bennett of Milton, COM
missioner of the general land-offce,
and Ormsby McHarg, of jamestown,
who has been appointed assistant
secretary of the department of COM
merce and labor.
A few years ago bennett was secre-
tary to Senator .Hansbrough. McHarg
performed in a like capacity for Sem
ator McC Cumber. AS secretary to Mr..
Hansbrough Mr.. bennett was called
upon to act as clerk of the senate com
mittee on public lands, of which
Mr.. Hansbrough was for many years
chairman. Tiring of the routine work
of a secretary, bennett quit, accepted
place as special agent in the land
service and took up his headquarters
in Seattle. There he became acquaint-
ed with Richard A. Ballinger, who
was appointed commissioner OF the
general landoffice, and, later, secre-
tary of the interior in the Taft cabinet.
Mr.. Ballinger brought bennett to
Washington as assistant commission
or, and when Mr.. Ballinger retired to
resume the practice of law, bennett
was given the place at the head of the
land service. He will continue in that
post during the Taft administration.
McHarg got tired of his job as a
senator's secretary; and accepted q
position as special attorney in the de-
partment of justice. He was sent to
Oklahoma to prosecute land frauds,
and his work there was warmly COM
mended by the Roosevelt administra-
tiOn.
When Frank H. Hitchcock took on
himself the task of managing the pre-
convention campaign of William H.
Taft he selected McHarg as one of his
lieutenants. McHarg beat the bushes
for Taft in nearly every state in the
union, scared up lot of delegates and
prepared the contest cases that were
handled in Chicago in such a way as
to put the "allies," the candidates op-
posed to Taft, to rout. .#
bennett and McHarg are warm per-
sonal friends. bennett is an English
man, who settled in North Dakota,
and became prominent in the politics
of the state, was a member of the
legislature in 1891 when Hansbrough
was sent to the senate. McHarg was
a member of the legislature in 1899,
and voted to send P. J. McCumber to
the United States senate.

JOHNSON TELLS
OF Ills VICTORY

New York, March PIN. N. Jonn-
son, newly elected senator from North
Dakota, was the principal speaker at
the 10th anniversary celebration last
night of the Beta Theta fraternity.
There were 300 present at the gather
ing, representing more than twenty
colleges.
Senator johnson told the diners
about the recent election by which he
acquired his seat in the senate and
about the previous election in which
he was defeated. Railroads and cor
porate interests, he said opposed him.
"After the caucus was held,' he
said, Representatives Of the great
railroad came to me and said:
johnson you've got votes and
ought to be senator, but our road
wants to know just one thing. We
want to save one thing from the wreck.
We control about five votes that will
be cast for you if you agree to this.
When the federal court is organized,
we want you to secure the appoints
ment of our candidates. We want to
name that judge"
II told him could not approve OF
amending the constitution in SO sum-
mary fashion. These five votes lost
the election for me on that occasion,
but won out this time. Forum.

Protest Against Rates.

Protesting that the l0O-pound rule
governing small shipments, enforced
in North Dakota by the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads,
is discrimination against ship
pers of this state in favor of those
of Minnesota, a complaint, submitted
by the Fargo Commercial club, is the
basis of a meeting held last Friday in
Fargo by the state railway commits
sion. There we're twenty-five COM
planning shippers in attendance while
both of the roads were represented.
The complaints submitted by the
Commercial club contains tabulated
statement showing that while North
Dakota shippers are compelled to pay
for 100 pounds of freight even when
their shippers are not. The compar-
alive charges on twenty-five pound
shipments for distance of 200 miles,
for example, are shown to be as fol-
lows:
North Dakota, So cents for first
class articles, 54 cents for second
class, ~ cents for third-class and 32
cents for fourth-class.
Minnesota, Is cents for all classes.
The petitioners, therefore, ask that
the matter be adjusted fairly. They
further ask for relief in the matter of
the rate on returned shipments of
goods damaged Or delayed in transit,
shipped in error or returned for
repairs, which the minimum charge
complained against, affects. = Walsh

Every family here ought to keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack Of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour stomach five minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you eat seems to fill you,
or lays like lump of lead in your
stomach, or if you have heartburn,
that is case of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for 5O-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangle after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching Of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and, besides, there will be no sour
food left over in the stomach to poison
your breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure
for all stomach misery, because it will
take hold Of your food and digest 1t
| just the same as if your stomach
wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for oil your
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These large, 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure a case OF
Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

He WILL KEEP up THE FIGHT
FORAKER MAY BE ATTORNEY
FOR DISMISSED SOLDIERS.
Intimates That He Will Take
Brownsville Case to the Courts
on Leaving Senate.

After March next the activities of
Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio
will be transferred from the United
States Senate to the courts. Although he
will then be in private life, he has in
timated to some of his friends at the Capt.
tol that he will probably be interested in
the Brownsville affair before the courts
quite as fully as he has been in the SEN
ate.
Although no definite understanding has
been reached concerning his course, it is
believed he will become attorney for some
test the constitutionality of the Presi-
dents act in discharging them without
honor before the end of their enlistments
The chief interest that will be attached
to this legal procedure will be a senti-
mental one. as judgment in favor Of Sen
atOr FOraker'S contention would merely
result in giving the former soldiers of the
18th Infantry their pay antd allowances
until the close of their terms of enlist
ment.
Senator Forakers friends are convinced
that, having actively engaged in politics
for so many years. the Ohio senator will
continue to be prominent figure in the
political arena of his state He will have
the advantage of being ION the ground
and in personal touch with many of his
friends who have never ceased to fight
vigorously for him. They declare that he
will exercise a very considerable influence
over the personal deStinieS of political
leaders in Ohio.
The retirement of Mr.. Foraker will
leave vacancies on the judiciary, foreign
relations, military affairs and privileges
and election committees, which are of
first rank.

All of the accused gave bond soon after
arrest and these bonds will stand until

cation that these hearings will be held al
most Immediately.
District Attorney W. A. Blakely. who
now has charge OF the prosecution. as
we'll as officers and attorneys of the Vot-
ers' League. seem anxious to go to trial
as early as possible, the general belief
being that the result of these trials and
the disclosures thereat will largely de-
termine the question Of proceeding against
others under suspicion.
Most of the accused men We're anxious
to have prompt hearings. apparently, be-
cause their are candidates for reelection to
council. They hope for vindication before
going before the people at the primary
election the latter part of this month and
the municipal election in February.
The grand jurors seemed anxious to get
at the graft for this was the first work
taken up. There was such a mass of
documentary evidence, much of it irrele-
want, that the district attorney had called
a conference of Voters League officers
and their attorneys to sift it down for
the grand jury. When this conference was
we'll under way a call for witnesses in
graft cases came from the grand jury
room and the conference was cut short.

MISSING FOR EIGHT DAYS.
Mans Continued Absence Furnishes
Chicago Police a Mystery.

CHICAGO. January 5.-Gustave Lin
dahl. who has been missing from his
home for eight days. has furnished the
police with a peculiar mystery. The
theory is that either he has been mur-
dered or is being kept out of the way
so that he cannot prosecute further two
men who are accused Of robbing him No
vember "a.
Threats of bodily injury had been
made to Lndahl, and he was warned
openly to drop the case or something
would happen to him. Backed by his
employers, however, he continued to
fight. The suspects were held to the
grand jury and were waiting trial on
bonds.
Lindahl three months ago had another
experience with thieves which made him
extremely bitter on the subject. He was
held up near his residence and beaten
and robbed.
