IBERTSON FOR CORONER.

Aside from the fact that one good
term deserves another, there are
business reasons why M. E. Ibert-
son the Republican candidate,
should succeed himself as coroner
of Beltrami county.
His reelection insures a continue.
ton of the policy of economy which
he inaugurated at the beginning of
his term two years ago, and which
has resulted in a material saving to
the taxpayers.
One of the first things Mr.. Inert
son did after he assumed the duties
of his Office was to appoint F. E.
Johnson deputy coroner at Baudette
to look after the northern end of the
county. This means that in every
case demanding the attention of the
coroner a saving of $685. has been
made and the total number of such
cases to date represent clear saving
to the county of $495.
This one innovation ought to
entitle Mr.. Ibertson to strong en-
dorsement at the polls on next Tues.
day, but there are numerous other
arguments to be used in his defense.
He has at all times performed his
duties with faithful fidelity to the
sacred trust imposed upon him when
the voters named him coroner; he
has been competent and obliging;
corteous and considerate.
He has been a citizen of Beltrami
county for nine years and his ia
miliarty with its topography is an
important adjunct to his many other
qualifications.
He conducts his department of the
public work with the same care to
detail and to the avoidance of all
unnecessary expense as he would his
private business.
Take no chances for M. E.
Ibertson for coroner.

Woman's s Body on Q l |BeachNearNaples
DEATH occpRREo
 THREE DAYS AGO.
THAT OF MISS ESTELLA REID
supposeed to Have Been an American, Who Was a Guest at the Hotel Cas- tsIIi-Letters Found.

Naples April 24.-The finding of the body of a beautiful young woman on the beach near here has given rise to the suspicion of murder. Apparently the woman died about three days ago. The body was scantily clothed, and this has led the authorities to believe that probably she was the victim of crime.
 Body Identified.
 The body was identified by the pro- prietor of the Hotel Castelli as that of Miss Estella Reid, supposed to have been an American, who was guest at the hotel. She was fair and tall, with gray eyes and quite prominent nose and wore eyeglasses. The suppo- sitfon that she came from the United States was strengthened today when the police found letters addressed to her from New York and St. Louis. as well as from Canada. Several of these were apparently love letters
 For the last few months Miss Reid had spent her time variously at Lin- dau, Germany, Turin, Milan, Pisa and Siena. She proceeded from the latter place to Naples and went to the Hotel Castelii on April 8.
 Described as Eccentric.
 She is described as having been ec- centric, sometimes spending days in contemplating the view from the ter race. She devoted a portion of the time to painting. It is thought that she was not possessed of any amount of money.

President Taft Prefers Results.

President Taft has placed a defnite programme of legislation before con gress and. although sectional and fac tionaI interests have been the cause of much pickering and delay, vet the programme steadily Is making prog ress with but little unifsi porfaat changes. President Taft knows that his administration will be fina;s& test ed by results, and with characteristic eagerness he has been pushing the forces at his command to keep all the party promises that have been made He is not blind to the fact that the public has been put in suspicion pIsd critical attitude toward him. Although his way of doing things may moi be exactly the same as those to which lie American people have been lately ae- custOmed. that is no sign that they are not thoroughly practical
 In seeking 10 get results President Taft has not undertaken to be a trou- bls hunter nor yet to make himself source of contention. Because of this he has been called weak kneed and gnllible. both of which statements are without foumdat ation in fact. Although he does not court anta gonisms to his proposed measures. yet he is steadily guiding the great federal legislative machinery and hopes tc be able to stand before the people. when con- Gxass adjourns. with finished pro- eramme and promises transformed in to real reform levs.-cmaha Bee-

 Wife.
 It was during the Quaker City ex- petition in 1867. which Mark Twain has immortalized in sThe Innocents Abroad that the humorist met Gen. eral Langdon, then young man, the son of Jarvis Langdon, prominent kindly to young Clemens and the in- timacy which grew out of the meeting led to marriage of the author with Olivia L.
