TRY TO FOOL BY
CRY OF FRAUD

DOVER, Del. Dec. 1l.-Secretary Of
State Smithers denounces unequivo-
cally the allegations made by Demo
Gratis that the Republicans carried
Kent and Sussex counties this year
by the use of money. lie says that
In his long experience In politics IN
this state he never knew an election
which. on the Republican side, was
freer from the use of improper meth
ods for influencing voters. There
fore he does not hesitate TO criticize
the Democrats for having tried to
cover up their own political misdeeds
by raising such an outcry against
the Republicans.
Mr. Smithers says he does not know
Of single instance in which the Re
publicans purchased q vote, or made
improper overtures to any elector TO
obtain his vote He thinks It an ex-
ceedingly high-handed piece of bust
ness for the Democrats 20 give cur

Republican methods Of campaigning
/ Other Republicans of prominence Ia
this section say the Democratic cry
was raised not so much with the
/ thought of inducing tho public TO be
iieve such things about the Republi
can organization, but rather With the
idea of distracting public attention
from Democratic crookedness anC
whiskey distribution in the two love-
counties of the state. Since then. how
ever. so many indications Of Demo
cratic vote-buying and debauchery
have been discovered in all sections 0
the state that the Democrats hav
been compelled to abandon O position
Of aggression and TO place themselve
on the defensive before the public. II
fact. il is known here that the Re
publicans already are in possession o
information which may mean lon'
prison terms for several of thosl
Democrats who have been most activl
in fomenting these cries of briberl
and corruption against the Republi
cans. 1t is thought knowledge Of thii
fact, coming TO the Democrats. has
caused them to cease snch attacks on
the Republicans and 70 spend theiE
spare time endeavoring TO cover W
the traces of their own rascniity, par
ticularly as regards trahicking with
the venal white voters in Kent and
sussex counties. Reports from the
several representative districts indi-
kcate that men who sold votes to the
I democrats have not been so guarded

HOW HOFFECKER
WON A DISTRICT

SMYRNA, Del, Dec. 13.-By the use
Of money and whiskey, Democrats did
what they could TO carry the First
Representative district in Kent county.
In the final showdown il was appar-
ont that they probably would have sue
ceeded had it not been for the per-
sonal popularity of j. Edward Hof-
fecker, the Republican candidate for
Representative, who defeated Robert
II Denney, Democrat, by q majority of
three on the unofficial count That
majority would have been increased to
six had Mr.. Hojfecker insisted on the
court reviewing the returns.
II is asserted, snd the probability is
that the freight or express books will
show it, that whiakey was brought into
this district by the barrel, and by the
demijohn, by prominent Democrats for
rse among the Democratic workers
voters and white floaters.
Stories are told here of the pur-
chase by the Democrats of white float
ers, and of the i.eeotiation of at least
cne mortgage to raise Democratic
campaign funds. Those features OF
the campaign BY the Democrats now
are being investigated closely by the
Republicans, AMI hints are given that
there may be sensational develop
ments within a 81 ort time.
Many Democrats we're disgusted 81
thoroughly by tn Democratic method
Of campaigning that they voted thl
Republican ticket as a ebuke TO thei
own party managers. That is show
by the fact that two years ago Herve.
P. Hall, Democratic candidate 70
Representative, carried this district b.
sixty-nine majority. over A. e. Jardine
Republican. In that election the tota
vote for Hall was 525. and for Jardine
456. This year j. Edward Hoffecker
Republican, carried the district b.
three majority, his vote being 4s5, a
against Denney's 462.

cigarette SMOKING
PROVED TO Be Fatal

Williston, N. d., Aug. 30.-Paul
Brokowski, Russian, and resident
of North Dakota about a year, met a
a peculiar death near his home four
miles northwest of Squires.
The unfortunate man had driven a
spirited team into Squires and was on
his way home when the accident oc.
Cured. He was an inveterate cigar
cite smoker and although no one was
with him or near him at the time it
is thought he accidentally set fire to
some hay in the wagon.
The team ran away, threw the man
out and broke his neck. The fire
spread to the grass and grain in ad-
jacent fields and burned over a large
patch of ground. The body was al
most cremated, all but one foot being
burned to a crisp. When the re-
mains were picked up later a par
TALLY burned shoe remained on the
remaining foot. The sight was a
CHASTITY one. The remains were buried
near the late residence Monday.
A strange fatality seems to follow
the Brokowski family. Two years ago
a son was out hauling stone when the
same team ran away and the young
man was killed. Two other sons are
now on their way to this country from
Russia and they will learn nothing of
their fathers fate until they arrive
in Williams county.

knight PRINTING CO.
LOST CASE TO CASS

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 30.-Judge c. A.
Pollock gave a decision late Saturday
evening in the case of the knight
Printing Co. against Cass county. The
decision was in favor of the county.
Several weeks ago the board of
county commissioners let the contract
for stationery and printing to the
Walker Bros. & Harry Co., and the
Knight Printing Co. brought action to
restrain the commissioners from let
ting the contract, contending that
they were the lowest bidders.
The court held that the statute re-
quired that the contract should come
to the lowest responsible bidder and
that this vested a discretion and the
board of commissioners were to de-
termine which was the lowest re-
sponsible bidder and then action would
not be disturbed in the absence OF
fraud, bad faith or corruption. None
of these was alleged or proven, and
therefore the case was decided IN
favor of the defendant.
Stambaugh & Fowler represented
the defendant and V. R. Lowell was
the attorney for the plaintiff.

M'CLUSkY FARMERS
GET into court

McClusky, N. D., Aug. 30.-Peter
Pister, residing in township $50, range
II, southeast of Dogden, was arrested
by Sheriff Callahan Monday, upon
complaint of Rosa Pister, his broth.
er's wife, charging him with the
crime of assault with a dangerous
weapon.
1t appears that Peter and his broth
er had been having some trouble
about stones which had been dug from
their respective places and placed on
the line between their land. Peter
claimed they were on his land, and
started firing them back on his broth
er's land; meantime Rosa Pister
threw them back on Peters land, and
family quarrel was the result.
The woman in the case evidently
provoked the anger of Peter, and he
brought gun onto the scene and
threatened to kill Rosa; whereupon
she promptly started for McClusky
and swore out a warrant for his ar
rest.
Peter was obliged to pay the costs
and give a peace bond to insure his
better behavior in the future.

island Lake
HAS GONE DRY

Wolford, N. D., Aug. 30.-For the
first time within the memory of the
Oldest inhabitant Island Lake has
gone dry. That part Of the lake ly-
ing north of what in the early days
was the island" from which the lake
derived it's name, has been dry two
weeks, but the southern part, which
was supposed to be the shallower Of
the two, retained some water until
a few days ago. Old timers say that
in 1895 the water In the lake was
very low, but even then no one ever
thought it would go dry.
Island lake was once famous as q
hunting resort. Later when the coun-
try began to settle, indiscriminate
shooting scared the fowl away, but T.
w. Magil, an ardent sportsman from
Chicago, gained control of the land
surrounding the lake and has since
made it safe resting place for ducks
the geese. Unless the birds have sent
out scouts, they are due for big sur
prise. this fall.

White Bean CROP
GOOD At PINGREE

F. Pingree, N. D., Aug. Boone Of the
coming products of the vicinity which
will prove a source of ready money
to the farmers is the white bean.
Every new experiment must be start.
ed by some enthusiast who has faith
in it, and this bean growing was be-
gun by C. S. Bartholomew, who last
year planted but four acres. From
these four acres was realized a net
sum of $26 per acre. He has fifty
acres under cultivation in the same
crop this year which bids fair to bring
him a neat sum for his work.
Among the others who have planted
beans in quantity are Ray and Roy
Boyd, who have twelve acres; VIM.
Depping, seven; c. c. Broderson, J.
E. Johnson and Andrew Forberg:
We have seen a bunch of plants
with from IS to IS pods on the stalk.
A week more will insure the crop.
Ray and Roy Boyd expect to realize
enough from their crop to send them
to school at Fargo this coming year
and from the large crop In sight,
their dreams will materalize.
It costs S. per acre to raise, and
with the large income per acre it is
one of the best paying crops q farm
er can raise. The continual cultiva-
ton of the ground, keeping out the
weeds and conserving the moisture,
puts the ground in the finest posi-
BILE condition for the following sea-
son.
Many of the doubtful ones are now
watching with interest the result this
season with q view Of trying . few
acres next year. They should bear
in mind that this has been an of year
and not be too quick to decide
against the proposition.

They say Connie Mack paid $4,000

Heretofore Connie has been content
to get his players very cheaply and
develop them himself. Plank, Ben

Krause did not cost him a cent. He
got Morgan in trade for Schlitxer.
Harry Davis came to him with the

SYR|ANS Do NOT
LIKE THE STATE

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 3O.-The
colony of Syrians who last winter set
tied near Spiritwood, have already
found this too Strenuous a country for
their permanent residence, and most
of them have gone or are getting
ready to return to Oklahoma and other
points in the south. They brought
more money than they will take back,
and have found farming a l'oor in
vestment, as they knew nothing about
it to start with. They struck hard
year also to begin learning 10 live
in a northern country, where every
thing is different from the south. They
are renting or selling the property
they invested in. Just what caused
the colony to suddenly take up fa1m-
ing and settle in the neighborhood Of
Spiritwood is not known.

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 3O.-On 8
tour which will take him into almost
every section of the state, c. A. John
son, republican gubernatorial candl
date, is making a preliminary survey
OF the political field with view tC
determining where the heaviest work
of the approaching campaign must be
done. He was in Grand Forks Satur
day and Sunday, meeting the politi
clans OF this section of the state, and
on his departure last night expressed
himself as being exceedingly well
pleased with conditions.
There appears every reason to be,
lieve that the coming campaign will
be fraught with success for the entire
republican ticket" said Mr.. Johnson
"One OF the most conclusive proofs OF
this fact is the general attitude of
the voters with whom l met, many of
whom | know were against me in the
campaign of two years ago, but who
have now pledged their support.
Better Feeling in Ward.
II feel absolutely confident that my
own county will give me a splendid
majority. There were peculiar condi-
tons in Ward county two years ago
brought on by the several division
contests. An effort has been made to
involve me in the county seat removal
contest in Mountrail county even this
year, but the assertions made in GER
tain quarters that l have interested
myself in their fight are not based on
fact. l am not taking sides nor have
l myself or any of my friends made
any trade or deal of any kind.
Opposition to me in Minot and
Ward county lies entirely with the
democrats and with one or two others
protesting republican faith. Friction
supposedly occasioned at the time of
the meeting of the county central COM
mittee has been eliminated. In fact,
everything seems to be entirely sat
isfactory throughout the entire coun-
ty and in the entire northwestern
section of the state"
As to Appointments.
Speaking of the recent talk of div
iding whatever patronage that might
be given out, should he be elected
governor, Mr.. Johnson expressed him
self very clearly:
ut is my intention, if elected gov.
ernor, to make appointments of men
who are thoroughly capable and able
to care for the work that may be as
signed to them; men who stand we'll
and are respected in their own com.
munities. l did not make any pledges
in the campaign Of two years ago a1d
will not do so this year. I will, If
elected, do my best to make such ap-
continents as will meet with general
approval of all republicans, irrespec-
tive of faction.

It is said that the lake was at one

a queer performance of the lake this
spring which was a sudden rise and
fall of the water like tide. 1t ran
up on the beach for many yards, and
then dropped back, leaving weeds,

This sudden rise and fall might be

BOWMAN GIRL bitten
BY A RATTLE SNAKE

Bowman, N. D., Aug. 30.-Vida
George, the 15-year.old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer George, was bit
ten by rattlesnake. In going through
a fence she stepped on a sage brush
in which the reptile was coiled, the
rattler biting her on the ankle. The
girl had the presence of mind to bind
her shoe lace tightly above her ankle
and this fact probably saved her life
Though she is very sick, there is ev'
cry reason to believe she will re-
cover.
