Lost His Mind

New York, N. Y, Dec. 1.-Wher
: the steamship Momus arrived here
to-day from New Orleans a we'll
dressed Englishman, who took pas
sage under the name of Mr.. Howard
was taken in charge by a represen-
tatlve of the British consuFs office
and will undergo examination as to
his sanity.
Late on Monday night, while sew
eral passengers were in the smoking
room and Howard was supposed to
have retired, he suddenly appeared.
scantily dressed, but holding aloft
two pistols, and wearing a large
knife in his belt. He was declaring
at the top of his voice that he was
being prosecuted. He ran out Of the
smoking-room, and just then Mrs.
Bundy, a young bride, came out of
here stateroom, alarmed by the
mans cries. The Englishman is
said to have pointed both pistols at
the young woman, but she never
moved. In fact, accordin to the
passengers, she was the coolest per-
son on board.
According to one of the passengers
the man accused her of being among
others in conspiracy to try to wrest
secret from him. Mrs. Bundy
calmly told him to hand over his
pistols, which he did. By this time
the. passengers were much alarmed,
but Captain Boyd and several men
placed the Englishman in irons and
kept him under close guard until the
Momus arrived here to-day.
A search of the Englishman's
room revealed two Winchester rifles,
fully loaded, besides the two pistols
and the knife that were taken from
him.
The man carried an extensive
wardrobe and a large sum of money.
He also had a ticket calling for pas
sage on board the Cedric, which is to

HERMAN M|CHAEL|S

| Hermann Michaelis, one of our old
and respected citizen, passed away
on Saturday morning, November 26,
1910, at 4:45 o'clock, at the age of
~ years, months and 10 days, at
the Long Branch Hotel, Abita.
Mr.. Michaelis had been i'll for a
| long time, having never recovered
from stroke of paralysis received
I about three years ago. For the past
few weeks his death was expected
| at any moment and he was constant
ly attended by his wife and children
to comfort him in his affection.
Mr.. Michaelis came to Abita about
81 years ago from New Orleans, and
entered into the hotel business, hav-
ing previously been engaged in run
ming schooner in the New Orleans
trade. Long Branch Hotel became
we'll known and popular under his
management, and he resided at this
place up to the time of his death.
Those with whom he became init
mately acquainted were his warm
friends. During period of thirteen
years, in which time he was seldom
well, he had become somewhat
brusque in disposition, but under
meath it all he had a heart that was
warm and sympathetic and easily
touched, and his friends understood
him.
He is survived by his widow, two
sons, F. J. and William Michaelis,
and five daughters, Mrs A. E. Huge,
Mrs. o. M. Lind and Mrs. J. A.
Salzer, of New Orleans, Miss Katies
and Miss Mae Michaelis, and six
grandchildren.
The funeral ceremonies took place
from the residence at Abita and from
St. John Evangelical Lutheran
Church, IN New Orleans, on Monday,
the body having been carried to New
Orleans on the morning train, No
vember %, Rev. Paul E. Wagner, of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church at
Abita officiating. Interment was
made in St. Johns Cemetery, New
Orleans, in the family burial grounds,
where lie his first wife and two sons
and one daughter.
Many friends brought floral offer
ings as last sad tribute to his mem
DRY, and he will be missed most by
those whose intimacy gave oppor-
tunity to understand and know the |
trueness of his heart.

Fighting for
the Exposition

Washington, D. C Dec 1.-Wash-
ington is taking interest in the re-
ported rivalry of the big railroad
New Orleans and San Francihco, in
their fight for the Panama EXPOSE
ton. Worlds fair traffic is worth
struggling for, and if the railroads
undertake to bring influence to bear
one way or the other some lively
fighting will be indulgeo in before
the selection is made. New Orleans
because of her position as the logical
point for this exposition enjoys a
great advantage over San Francisco
which congressman have freely ad-
mitted.
The fight which was made last May
by Governor Sanders, Mayor Behr-
man and the Legislature before the
committee of the two houses would
have resulted in the elimination of
San Francisco when the vote was
taken in the committee on foreign
affairs in the Kahn and Estopinal
resolutions, but for the fact that
President Taft let it be known that
he wished to nave two expositions
At that time Taft was under political
pressure which probably has been
lifted by the recent elections and it
is exceedingly doubtful it he can
save the Pacific coast city when the
committee on expositions takes hold
OF the question this winter
1t is reported that the Hartman
agents have come here to help San
francisco, making the lineup as fol-
lows:
For San Francisco-Southern Pa
clf1c, Union Pacific, Central Pacific.
Northern Pacific and allied lines.
For New Orleans-Pennsylvania.
Louisville and Nashville, Southern.
Atlantic Coast Line and allied, lines
The Pennsylvania railroad is said
to have been neutral until yesterday
when it came over to New Orleans.
In behalf of New Orleans heavy
pressure is brought to bear on the
Southern Pacific Railroad, which has
big terminals in the Crescent City. It
was said at the New Orleans head
quarters to-day that a committee of
representative business men had sent
the following telegram to the New
York headquarters of the line:
eff you do not withdraw your SIM
port from San Francisco and stay
out of this fight it will cost you s1S.-
100000"
The Southern Pacific has MANY
concessions and desires more from
New Orleans, but the San Francisco
representatives declared that nothing
could turn the Southern Pacifi's sup
port away from San Francisco.
The report that Governor Gillett
ana big delegation is on the way
from San Francisco and the activity
here of Rudolph SPECIFIES, the san
Francisco graft fighter and member
OF the family of sugar millionaires,
has aroused much interest here as to
what New Orleans will do next.

ATTENDANT IS
HELD BLAMELESS
coRoNER's INQUEST ExoNER-
ATES ASYLUM EMPLOYEE
IN DEATH or PATIENT.

jamestown, N. D., April 25.--In the
inquest held by Coroner Guest over the
body of John Seyerson of Grand Forks
who died from the effects of getting
into bathtub of hot water Wednes-
day, Attendant Jones who had charge
of the man at the time, was completely
exonerated Of blame under the law.
The summary Of the report of the in
quest reads in part as follows:
THAT John Severson deceased, pa
tient at the state hospital for the in
sane came to his death by getting in
to a bath-tub on ward nine. east OF
said hospital. in which bath tub there
was hot water which scaIded said de-

died the evening of the same day.
That deceased. at the time of the acct
dent, was in charge of Attendant Oscar
James and was by him left at the
bath-tub for few minutes, owing to

LOWER PRICES PREVAIL.

Reduction in the price OF various ar
ticles of food is noticed in the news
columns OF the day, and the Inference
appears to be drawn that cost OF living
is beginning to come down substantial
ly. 1t is easy to draw hasty conclusions
from the Investigations. But on the
present occasion there are certain large
forces In operation whose results--in
the long run--may be of great import
ance in relieving the oppressive cost of
living. No references are made to such
influences as the meat boycott" which
are, in their nature, temporary and
transient. Even that incident Of the
day, however, was at least symptom
OF what may be called q psychological
change which has come over the mar
kets themselves. A few months ago,
the numerous natural forces which
were operating to advance the price
of commodities were supplemented by
what seemed to be an assumption that
the consuming public--however much
1t might grumble--was ready in the end
to pay whatever prices were exacted
Now, however, there Is visible a rather
widespread doubt as TO whether this
assumption can be depended on.

PARK BOARDS MISTAKE.

Every citizen Of Fargo, who Is in
terested in the present park and the
development of a park system, will
regret the action Of the new park COM
n,t+ea in dispensing with the services
of Mr.. Meller. The latter has been
superintendent of the park for two
years and the change he has wrought
would seem to be convincing evidence
of his ability and fitness for the posi-
ton.
Mr.. Msller has had special training
for many years in his profession. He
is thoroughly experienced. He Is famil-
lar with the theoretical, the scientific
and the practical phases Of park work
His services should be retained. In
stead of eliminating him the city should
be congratulated over being fortunate
enough to secure his services. 1t is
understood that he has numerous Of
fers, several of which will pay better
than Fargo. No hardship is being
worked on his personally-but the city
Is the real loser.
e. c. Hanschs, whom the council
park committee designated as Mr.. Mel
ler's successor. is a nice, pleasant mar
"a good fellow with lot of friends
but not even his warmest supporter
will insist he has any qualification
for his park Job. The council commit
tee should rescind its action and keel
Mr.. Meller as commissioner.

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

North Dakotans are inclined to have
a crouch against the weather man as
result of the meteorological condi-
lions that have prevailed for ten days.
After having spring in February and
summer In March--they resented being
forced back to winter again In April.
Based on anything like the law of
averages the state had bunch of bad
weather coming. The six weeks or two
months preceding had been unusually
good--and something had to break.
But North Dakota weather was no
exception. Similar conditions have
prevailed all over the country Even

Donnybrook Courier: There are
plenty of fellows who would like to
take L. B. Hanna's place as repre-
sentative In congress from North Da-
kota, but so far nobody has doomed
up that looks quite big enough to fill
the bill. Mr.. Hanna continues to be
the one of the most popular men in
the state. Even those who differ from
him in politics admire him for his
clean and straightforward method of
dealing on all occasions.
Minot Democrat: The attack made
on Judge Fisk by crank prohibition
list is an illustration of the extent to
which some people will go to injure
fellow being whose honor integrity

him to construe the constitution of

meet the approval OF those whose minds
are so bigoted, narrow and shriveled
that they desire a crime to be COM
mitted to carry out their own ideas
No more honorable or able n man has
set on the supreme bench OF this state
than Judge Fisk and no man will ever
be elected to that position who holds
more sacred its functions than the
gentleman in question. The Democrat
is glad that the attack has been made

his reelection. We are glad too thai
