MRS. RICHARDS OF OHIO DIS
cUssEs THE ADVANCEMENT
OF TEMPERANCE IN
NORTH DAKOTA.

Devils Lake. N. D.. July 9.--Yester-
day was Grand Rally day for the w.
c. t. u. and the principal events of
the day centered around their pro-
gramme. There were the usual
classes, round table session, etc, in
the morning, but the w. C. T. II. pro-
gramme at 10:30 attracted the atten-
tion principally OF the morning. The
subject was Changes in the Prohibi-
ton Law Made by the Last Legis-
lature, of which there was an ami
mated and general discussion in
which Mrs. Richards of Leipsic, o.,
took a part and in her talk made
some interesting statements in regard
TO the advancement OF temperance in
North Dakota. Mrs. Richards said
this was her seventh trip over the
state and 1t was gratifying to be able
to say that she found the prohibition
law better observed In her last trip
than ever before throughout the state.
On the Fourth of July, Mrs. Richards
addressed a large audience at Aneta,
N. D., and on that day, there was the
best OF order and no evidence of liquor
being sold In any form wherein a few
years before, during one OF Mrs. Rich
ards stops in the same city, there
were forty-two places running wide
open where the prohibition law was
being as openly violated as II no such
thing had ever been heard Of
In the afternoon large audience
gathered in the auditorium to listen
to Mrs. Almeda Parker Mcdonald tell
of the March OF Temperance Reform
Across the Continent, and an even
larger audience gathered in the eve
ming to hear Mrs. richards talk on
temperance in general throughout the
world.
Today is Scandinavian day and the
principal speaker Of the day will be
Hon. John Lind, ex-governor OF Min
nesota Another prominent feature OF
the day win be the convention OF the
Independent Telephone association,
for which large attendance is ex-
pected.

San Francisco, July s.-John Mad

OF the smaller ones, is in the hands of
the police here. The authorities have
established his marriage to ten wo-

marriage to fourteen others.
Each OF the twenty-four women

is said to have obtained $1,40o. Mad

The strange history of Madison, who
is an aged man, extends over only a

BEVERIDGE And
ALDRICH CLASH
INDIANA SENATOR GETS HOT uN-
DER COLLAR WHEN AccUS-
ED BY REPUBLICAN
LEADER.

Washington. July 9.--''When the sen.
ator wants something done it is for
the workman, and when he is opposed
to something it is for the manufactur-
err" hotly retorted Senator Aldrich
yesterday in reply to Senator Bever-
idge's statement In the senate that the
senator from Rhode Island was bet
ter informed on the steel mills, but he
himself was better informed upon
conditions and desires of the working
people" and that what he was advocat-
ing would make more full workdays
for the workman.
"And the senator from Rhode Island
is always for the manufacturer and
never for the employees" was Mr..
Beveridge's rejoinder.
"The senator is presuming a great
deal when he makes that statement" !"
said Mr.. Aldrich. "The senator told
me that he had been obliged, in view
say political exigencies."
Before Mr. aldrich could proceed
further the Indiana senators was upon
his feet.
"The senator must correct that" he
said hotly.
"That is what I understood" said
Mr. Aldrich.
THE senator is going very far TO
repeat private conversations. did,
sa ypolitical exigencies."
That ended the incident which had
its beginning when the Indiana senator
in urging his provision to exempt tin
plate from the drawback clause of the
tariff, stated in contradiction OF his
own previous statement, he had just
been informed that there were tin plate
mills which were not in the steel
trust
