DOGS HOLD TRAIL
Martin Rollins of Charlottesville Driy.
en- YnfA n Swami

Caruthersville, Mo-, Nov. 4.-Last
word received from. the main party
In pursuit of Martin Rollins, 35 years
old, slayer of 16-year-old Annie Aus
tin, was that the dogs brought here
from Dyersville, Tex, were holding
to the trail they picked up at the
scene of the crime, and that it was
leading them into the almost inacces-
sible wilds of the Little river bot
toms in western Pemiscot county,
This party is composed Of the sher-
iff of Pemiscot county and twenty
five picked men. When II was found
the trail the dogs were following a.p-
parently was the true one and that it
was leading into the marshes where
numbers would be of little avail. more
than one hundred persons who Joined
in the search at the beginning were
turned back and word sent to search
ers in other directions. Those who
continued with the sheriff were chos-
en- by him for their knowledge Of the
country and their experience in work.
ing with him in man hunts.
When the sheriff communicated
with his office today it was by tele-
phone near the edge cf the Little river
bottoms, and the posse now is beyond
reach, either by telephone or tele-
graph.
Although Rollins is armed and is
familiar with the general character of
the country, there is little prospect
that he can escape, although he might
hide until near starvation. Before him
are miles of marshes on both sides
Of the Little river through which it
would be almost impossible to pass
and back of him is the pursuing posse,
apparently closing in on him rapidly
1t is feared that because OF the serious
nature Of his crime and the prospect
Of lynching he will not be taken alive
and that some of his pursuers will be
killed when he is overtaken.
Rollins killed Miss Austin yesterday
in Caruthersville because she would
not marry him. Charlottesville is in
Pemiscot county in that part of Mis-
souri, that extends below the Arkansas
line.

Against the Ex.President Because

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 4.-DeplorinE
Theodore Roosevelt's failure to say a
good word for Senator LaFollette
when he was in Wisconsin, William
J. Bryan. in his Commoner today de-
clared the foEmer president to be a
sham progressive. Bryan says:
In Kansas Roosevelt fraternized
with the insurgents and in the other
western states he spoke SO nearly the
language of LaFollette and Cumming
and Bristow that many who had not
learned to have great confidence in
his staying qualities, began to have
some hope that he might be depended
upon to lead the real battle. But those
who hoped that Roosevelt would say
a good word for Senator LaFollette
prior to the primary date waited in
vain. On his western trip Roosevelt
insurged everywhere except in Wis
consin, the one place where insure
gency was rampant. Then Roosevelt
proceeded to New York and held q un-
reform convention choosing that fine
old reformer. Elihue Root, the lawyer
who has organized more trusts than
any other man Of his day, as the
chairman of that convention"

Will Be Held in Connection
With Northwestern Live
Stock Show

St Paul. Nov. preparations are
practically completed for one Of the
greatest after-harvest farm shows and
festivals ever offered northwestern
farmers and for four days. November
Is to IS, South St. Paul will be the
mecca of great crowds of farmers and
their families from all parts of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, North and South
Dakota. Iowa, and Montana. For on
these days will be. held the fourth
annual Northwestern Livestock show
and, in conjunction with it, the first
annual Northwestern Corn and Grain

Plans for this years exposition at
the great home market of the north
west are far in advance Of anything
ever attempted here before and the
fact that entries in all departments
this year will be many times greater
in number than at any previous show
makes it certain that the show this
year will be of far greater interest
and value educationally to visitors.

GOOD RALLY Was
HELDAT BALFOUR
Prospects Look Good For an
Increased Vote For John
son in McHenry +

Balfour, N. D., Nov. 4.-What was
certainly the most successful political
rally ever held in Balfour was held
last night at the local opera house.
The speaker of the evening was A. NJ.
Christianson, who in splendid ad-
dress, outlined the issues in the pres
ent political campaign. The address
was pronounced by Republicans and
Democrats alike to be one Of the
cleanest and fairest political address,
es ever heard any place.
Mr.. Christianson discussed national
issues and showed the danger exist
ing in entrusting the country to the
Democratic party.
He discussed the present state cam
paign at length and took up the vari-
GUS claims made by Governor Burke
in his recent speech here and else
where in the county and showed by
certified statements from the county
records that the Great Northern rail-
way in 1909 paid $7S5.44 less consoli-
dated taxes in McHenry county than
it did in 1906, and in this connection
he took up and showed that the rea-
son for this decrease in the railroad
taxes was that the values Of farm
lands and improvements thereon had
been increased in some instances far
more than the railroad valuations had
been increased. Mr.. Christianson. al
so gave instances of lands owned BY
parties in the audience whose con-
solidated taxes had been increased in
some instances to exceed forty per
cent.
He took up one by one the claims
Of the governor and showed how lit
tie there was to them. There is no
doubt but that the meeting resulted
in great good to the Republican cause.
The Republicans are enthusiastic.
and many who were working hard for
the election of Burke two and four
years ago are working just as hard
for the election of c. A. Johnson this
time. In fact the prospects of Repub-
lican success were never brighter in
this county.

SIMPLE LIFE
Mrs. Spender Clay, Daughter Of Astor,
Clings to Quiet Manor,

London, Nov. 4.-Mrs. Spender Clay,
daughter of w. w. Astor, is one of the
few rich Anglo-Americans who lead
the simple life of country squire's
wife in England.
Her husband, Captain Spender Clay
has family place, Ford Manor, about
thirty miles from London, which is
probably less than hundred years
old and has no historic charm and
here he and his wife live ten months
Of the, year.
Tho exterior of the house is plain
1t is long. low, and built Of yellowish
brick. 1t stands on q knoll in q really
beautiful park, but only some ten
minutes walk from the highway,
which to English people, whose ideal
is to live five or six miles from their
garden gate, is a grave disadvantage.
Inside the house has been beautified
by Mrs. Spender Clay. The early Vic
torian furniture has been replaced by
good examples of English. French and
Italian furniture and the family por-
traits have been reframed and are
wedged in between beautiful pictures.
On the garden, too, Mrs. Clay has
expended much time and trouble. She
has a fancy for designing her own
flower beds in unusual shapes and has
an eye for color. The flowers are
grouped in exquisite masses, outrival-
ing even the beauty Of the coloring in
the royal gardens of Buckingham pal
ace. Windsor and Hampton Court.
The Spender Clays live simply and
entertain little. They are devoted to
their children, three little girls, and
spend much Of their time with them
Captain Spender Clay. who has re-
Gently entered parliament, is a typical
English squire in appearance. He is
of medium height. squarely built, fair
haired and pink complexion, with a
frank, honest face. Mrs. Clay is dark
1t has been said that she is not in the
least like an American, but she is
never taken for an English woman
Indeed, it is generally supposed by
people when they first meet her that
she is French or Italian.
Ford Manor was her husbands boy
hood home, and 1t has the additional
advantage Of being near her fathers
place, Hever castle, once the home OF
Anne Boleyn. but now the residence Of
Mr.. Astor, who has restored, renovat-
ed, and changed It from medieval
castle to a modern palace, with all
the luxuries and beauties that money
can purchase.

. . . . .
As regards the normal school
at Minot, naturally there for four
years, have been an active
worker in attempting to secure an
institution Of learning for the
orthwestern part Of our state and I
because 100000 people live up
there. so far away from any of
our institutions of learning that
1t practically prohibits the possi-
bflity of any great attendance
OF the children of that section to
our state educational institutions.
That, however, is as far as my in
terest goes. At no time directly
or indirectly have l ever discuss
ed the question Of the presidency
Of the normal school as located at
Minot with Mr.. johnson or with
any one else. Nor am | in any
sense candidate for that posi-
ton or any other in his gift,
should he be elected governor.
The progressive leaders of the
state decided several months ago
that they would not permit the
question Of state patronage to
enter into the question, whether
we were to harmonic or not in
this campaign, and that position
has been maintained so far as l
know up to date. So far as l am
personally concerned l have en-
tered into this campaign for the
whole ticket because l feel it is
both a moral and legal obliga-
cation. The first circular that we
issued from the progressive head
quarters at Grand Forks, in April
last. stated among other things,
that we would abide by the re-
suit of the primaries, and that
pledge, believe every progress
sive should keep.
II the progressives expect to ac-
complish the object for which
they became an organization,
namely, needed legislation in the
state and nation, they can only do
SO by remaining loyal to the SUI
preme will of the people at the
polls and stay loyalty within their
party. Such is the position of
Roosevelt, LaFollette and Cum
mings. They are good Republic
cans and good progressives,
whose patriotism and loyalty
cannot be questioned and l pro-
pose to follow their lead, rather
than VIM. Jennings Bryan and
other leaders of Democracy who
would attempt to mislead and
poison the minds Of the Republ!-
can voters of this state to the
; real issue, namely: Shall Democ-
racy reign supreme or Repub-
: licanism? And thai is why am
participating in this campaign.

MURDERER AT NINE
Young Criminal Invents Story, Then
COnfesseS.

Paris. Nov. A new fact in
FIRE. , criminology is at present be-
ing much discussed. 1t has reference
to cold-blooded murder committed
by a boy of 8. The victim was the
murderer's baby brother, who was
done to death because he persist
ed in crying.
The details of the crime are almost
incredible. Alfred Duclos. the GRIM
inal, lived with his parents and three
brothers in house situated between
Fresnaie and Putanges. The father
had to work away from home, and the
mother is described as worthless
woman who slept a great deal during
the day.
His mother was asleep as usual,
when Alfred Duclos went to pick po-
tatoes in a field near the house. His
baby brother, Henri, was crying in his
cradle. When he returned to the
house he tried to calm the little one,
but was not successful; the child cried
all the more. Furious because he
he seized hammer, and with it beat
the little one about the head.
Then he took knife and slashed at

the right temple. The sobs were still
ed at last. A few hours later Alfred
Duclos called on neighbor. Il be-
lieve my brother is dead" he said.
The neighbor hurried to the house and
found the woman, who had awakened,
weeping over the dead body. He in
formed the mayor of the commune,
and when the gendarmes arrived at
midnight they found the dead baby in
the cradle horribly disfgured, while
the mother had fled.
Questioned by the gendarmes, Al
fred Duclos, without turning a hair,
invented a story, the effect of which
was that the mother had fallen against
the mantelpiece with little Henri in
her arms, and that the latter was kill
ed by the fall. The gendarmes pointed
out to the boy that the condition Of
the baby's head did not suggest that
death had been caused by fall. He
was told that he would be placed in
a dark cell If he did not tell the truth.
Then he made clean breast of his
crime, telling his story without a
culver in his voice.
The mother was discovered yester-
day morning and questioned. but she
could throw no light ON the crime.
She had been ordered to hold herself
at the disposal of justice. The youth
full murderer had given no indication
Of mental perversity. He was an in
dustrious scholar, and his conduct at
school was always satisfactory.

interesting decision constituting the
law governing the assessment Of du-

In the case of Miss Marie r. Clover
of Louisville, KY, who protested
against the payment Of $463 duty ON
the ground that she was a bona-flde
