aGRAFT ANp cRnnNAL Collision,

It is rather startling to read in the
New England Magazine that the city
engineer of Barre and the railroad engi-
neer Of the Barre railroad were able to
get together for the study Of plans to
change the course Of the Stevens Branch
without suggestion Of graft or Grim.

abundance 1t is startling to have it
thus impressed upon us what we have
avoided.
Perhaps the writer Of the article did
not know the people he was writing
about. Surely he did not show close
knowledge of the conditions Of the pro-
posed ecanal" as the article is full Of
extravagances in statement. However,
there can be no doubt as to the correct
ness of his viewpoint regarding the
heavy returns sometimes possible as
the result Of comparatively slight munich

Of graft and collusion- pshawl

 Not only would they be compel led to take oath as to the fact whether or not they have been divorced but they will have to go a step farther if the act be- comes a law and tell upon what grounds the divorce was obtain ed.
 Another bill of statewide im- pOrtance was that introduced by Senator Henderson providing for the preservation as a museum of the old state house.
 The bill to amend the atutOry provisions regarding sale of de- linquent tax land, the avowed ob- ject of which was ito prevent speculation by having the land purchased by the state was de- feated. The bill was introduced. by Senator Carlock.

NO VERDICT IN COOPER TRIAL.

Nashville Tenn, March 1S.--An- other day passed and no lntlma- tion of !an agreement came from the room in which 12 men are trying to decide the fate of Col. D. B. and Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for the murder of form CT United States Senator k. w. Carmack. This is the second day of suspense and the feeling is generally growing that there will be a disagreement. Counsel on both sides, however as well as the court hold that there will be verdict.
 The jurors went to supper at six o'clock this evening, ate in silence and hurried back to the big room ito resume their deIib- erations Each time they leave the room they lock the door and one of their number carries the key.
 Judge Hart remained at the court house until noon. He then left and communicated with Sheriff Borum by telephone twice during the afternoon, once at 2s45, and again at 5.15 pm, Upon the latter occasion he told the sheriff that even if the jury reached a decision he would, not receive it before 9 ann. tomorrow
 Immediately after supper the jurors deliberated for a while, but at IS pm. they dropped the discussion called tin the deputies and began ito amuse }themselves.
 There were various rumOrS a. float tonight as to an agreement one that Sharp had been ac- quilted and the CoOpers convict ed; another that all three had been acquitted, but none seems based on any foundation of fact.

SUFFERING IN BRlNKLEY

Brinkley, March 1S.-At least 15O people in Brinkley are suf- fering from pneumonia, pleurisy or fever, as the result of exposure Seven new cases of fever and two of pleurisy were reported today to Dr. E. D. Mcknight in charge of the Health Department, and there are numbers ill among the destitute negroes in the Outly- ing districts who have, not been reached by the physicians of the Relief Committee. No. new cases of pneumonia were reported to- day but several cases were found where pneumonia may develop.
 The return of warmer weather has improved the situation, how ever and Dr. Mcknight stated last night that he looks for cessation of the general sickness. Large tents are being erected, in which fairly satisfactory sleep ing quarters are being arranged: so that the tornado victims still homeless may be given shelter. A large number of mattresses have been ordered and are eX pected today. The large demands which are being made on the shelters erected indicate the big proportion of the victims still homeless.
 An effort at a revival of busi- ness will be made tomorrow, when 31 of the 5S larger houses of the city will open, A consider able number of these have been open for several days. however. Of the 26 closed 13 were com pletely destroyed. Two bakeries will be among the places to re- open and will materially help the relief work.
 The Kelly hotel building, a two-story brick, was condemned today and will be torn down to- morrow. Several other buildings will probably be condemned to- morrow. All buildings are being inspected by experts and if found dangerous are being ofFer- ed demolished. Several were torn down today

Well, there's one consolation in
this matter of the senatorial APP
pointment. 1t might have been An
DIV Miller.

State Senator Cashel was the
choice Of the democratic party al
the primary last year for the posi-
ton of United States senator. He
made the hopeless fight because he
was loyal party man, and it was
necessary for his party to have a
candidate. He it was who received
the vote of the little band of demo-
Gratis in the legislature, as the final
act resulting from the democratic
sentiment expressed at the primary.
Should not the governor, equally
with the democratic legislative
membership, have regarded the
wishes of the members of his party
as shown by their votes?. But he did
nothing of the kind. When there
really was chance for democrat
to be senator from this state, man
is appointed who is known to fame
only as being very wealthy" and
"a close personal friend of Governor
Burke. :" And yet some people have
been SO unsophisticated as to believe
that governor should run his Office
and make his appointments in the
interest of the people of North Da-
kota. and not for the purpose of
strengthening his own individual
political machine.
