WAS CHARGED
WITH BRIBERY
IN ELECTION OF L0RIMER
TenneSsean Started the Investiga-
ton of the Alleged Legislative
Corruptions IN Illinois

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Attorney Lee
O'Neil Browne, of Ottawa, ILL.,, legis-
islative minority leader, charged with
bribery connection with the election of
William Lorimer, of Chicago, to the
United States Senate, was acquitted
by jury in Judge George Kernsten IS
division of the criminal court yester-
day.
The jury which took eight iballots
was out twenty-one hours. On the
first ballot the jury stood to for ac-
quittal. This was the second trial,
the first jury having disagreed.
Brownies eyes filled with tears as
the clerk of the court finished reading
the verdict. A second later he threw
his arms about Attorney Charles Erb-
stein of counsel for the defense.
Browne was then hoisted to the
shoulders of friends and carried out of
the court room amid handshaking and
cheering.
Browne looked as though he had
been completely absolved by further
trouble in relation to the vexing sub
ject of Senator Lorimer's election. AE
parcntly he had forgotten for the time
that he is under Indictment on the
same charge and will have to face trial
at springfield in Sangamon county.
When this subject was mentioned to
Attorney Erbstein, of Brownies coun-
sci, the lawyer said:
"Don't worry about Springfield;
we'll take care of that when it comes

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.


Infantile paralysis is dangerous
thing in diseases. Fargo had an cpl
demic Of the dread disease last year
at this time. So far there have been
no deaths and the physicians as we'll as
the parents are beginning to feel they
may have escaped the terrors of the
disease for this year.
There are two articles in The Amer
lean Medical Journal which are espe-
cially pertinent.
One is by Joseph Collins, physician
Of the New York Neurological insti-
tute-the other by Irving Shaw, clin-
ical professor of the diseases of chill
dren in the medical department of the
University Of Buffalo DR.. Collins in
sists that infantile paralysis ought to
be quarantined and reported. He an
nounces that within FIVE years its con-
tagiousness or infectiousness (for both
are employed) has been accepted. In
ability to influence the disease and it's
manning "the vast majority" Of the
survivors is confessed.
Infantile paralysis is an acute infec-
tious disease Of the spine and the back
OF the head, attacking especially the
gray matter. Over fifty epidemics have
been recorded. The mortality has var
led from to 46 per cent. 1t occurs as
invariably in summer as smallpox in
winter. In several epidemics it has
been noticed that the summer, like this.
was particularly dry. Pasteur, GERS
void and Wickman have convinced
medical men that the disease is con-
tagious. Contracting it does not de-
pend on direct contact with the sick,
for many have contracted the disease
through a person who, though we'll,
brought 1t from victim at a distance.
incubation varies from four to fourteen
days. The disease strikes where hy-
sienic conditions are good no less than |
where the surroundings are unhealthy. |
One attack probably renders the VIC |
tim, If he survives, immune for a long
time. Flexner is convinced that the |
virus gains entrance into the system |
through the nose and throat.

Bismarck Tribune; The action TAX
en- by James Al. Buchanan, the defeated
republican candidate for governor at
the recent primaries, since the an
nouncement OF the result, will have a
stimulating effect In uniting all repub-
cans this fall when common enemy
Is before them. Mr. Buchanan prompt
ly and emphatically stated his position
and volunteered his support for the
successful nominee This declaration
Is followed by the action of the repub-
lican committee OF Stutsman county in
It's organization. The dispatches tell
US that Mr.. Buchanan was present and
the delegates insisted on a speech from
him. He made square toed address.
He told the delegates that primarily
they were republicans, and that he
hoped every man would work hard for
the success Of the general republic
can ticket at the coming election. He
wanted every republican who was
nominated at the primaries to be elect
ed, and hoped the regulars and insur-
gents would bury the Ratchet and get
together for the success of the party.
At the conclusion of his address Mr.
Buchanan was given a hearty ovation
There seems to be evidences on every
side that point to unity OF action and
the curbing of party differences as
much as possible.

GRANDFATHER" LEGISLATION.

Oklahoma and Arkansas are both
mentioned in connection with scheme
for DISTINGUISHING the negro which
cannot fail to bring down upon the
people Of those commonwealth the
severest condemnation.
Oklahoma will create less comment
than Arkansas in this discreditable
proceeding. The raw, new western
state has not yet reached years Of dis
erection. 1t has already won for itself
reputation for what may be termed
in the absence Of a more specific and
condemnatory word-eccentricity. 1t
has been doing extraordinary things
but the country has patiently waited
for IL to settle down.
But Arkansas, with it's long expert
ence and opportunities, su-ely cannot
afford to enact a law which can only
induce the contempt of all good Amer
leans.
The Acknowledgement scheme is be-
ing humorously referred to as "the
grandfather bill" 1t provides that the
white man who is inferior to the negro
in education shall be arbitrarily given
an advantage over his black superior.
On it's face, the grandfather bill"
aims only to diminish the illiterate
vote. In effect it has no such inten-
ton. 1t withdraws the ballot from the
the exception of such
individuals as are descendants of men
who were qualified to vote Jan. l, 1865.
That is to say, the white 'illiterate"
may vote, but the black man without
education cannot do so.
The entire country will speedily
come to the conclusion that the white
man who cannot read and write-after
generations of opportunities far Jess
entitled to benefit by special legisla-
ton than the negro so circumstanced.
The negro has enjoyed opportunities
which extend only through one genera
ton.
The grandfather" enactment il q
law which no self-respecting common
wealth could afford to have on its stat
ute books.

WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA.

A trip to the western part Of North
Dakota is educational Residents of
the eastern edge of the state, who have
not had the opportunity to see the
present conditions, can scarcely realize
the marvellous changes that the last de-
I cade has wrought in western North Da-
kota.
In a general way the well-informed
resident of the Red river valley knows
a transformation has been in progress
He recalls that some of his neighbors
have moved into the newer fields and
reads in his home papers about the
'doings" in a number of new towns
that few years ago were not even on
the map.
But 1t requires a personal inspection
to convince many people Of the magni-
tude of the development of those Sec
tions of North Dakota that only few
years ago were cattle ranges.
While the crop conditions for the 800
miles from Grand Forks to Williston
are the reverse of "bumper"-there are
some excellent fields Of grain-like
oases-along the route. They help to
make the traveller forget the brown and
bare places and others that have only
short growths of straw.
! Despite adverse conditions a general
air of prosperity pervades that terri
tory. Splendid towns are seen at fire.
iquent intervals and their growth-es-
lpecially from Devils Lake to Williston
lis marked. They indicate the great
development of the western counties,
the wonderful resources OF that sec
ton and the latent possibilities OF
North Dakota.
/ A personal inspection makes every
fFliekertaii proud that he is a North
Dakotan. 1t is inspiring.
/ The residents Of the towns of west
ern North Dakota are enthusiastic
boosters for their section. They are on
the ground and appreciate the advan-
tages that have not been realized by
residents Of the eastern half of the
state. They have lots of room for ex-
Fpansion and invite their friends from
the Red river valley and further east
to come out and grow up with the
country-to share their prosperity and
TO assist in the development of one of
the most favored regions of the north
west.
