many years made Ter home with her
daughter, Mrs. S. II. Goodfellow, of
this city, has passed ~ her last re.

Mrs. Richter was born in Dublin,

and Spectator Of Sheyenne, n D..
Ferdinand Richter, of Strool, S. ID.
and Mrs. o. J. Gray, of Bozeman,

Mrs. Richter had travelled exten,
sively over the continent Of Europe

will recall their ~pleasurable entertain
ments by her "reminiscences of heI
travels. Since 1897 she made hel
home with her daughter, Mrs. S. H
Goodfellow, of this city, until the lat

which deprived her of the use of hel
limbs and she was compelled to use
a wheel chair the rest of her life. Fol-
the first year after the accident she
suffered much pain but after that only
the inconvenience of not being able
to walk. Mrs. Richter will be remem
bered and revered by many now living
in this city. She was a devoted Cath
olic and it was her pride that she hat
met and talked with Pope Plus TX and
many of the cardinals and bishops OF
the church.

ORGANIZES II
YOUNG FARMERS
MINNESOTA AND DAKOTA FARM
Err FORMS
SOCIETY FOR FARMFR BOYS
WHICH WILL BE OF MUTUAL AD-
VANTAGE AND Benefit.

Editor r. F. Kerr of the Minnesota
and Dakota Farmer has organized a
Young Farmers league in connection
with the farm journal, the object be-
ing to assist the boys o nthe farm and
encourage those who are striving for
better things in agriculture. Not all
of our young people are in a position
to leave their farms and go to- college
Or a farm school. Many of the states
are not yet able to send their colleges
to the farm and give instruction. The
farmers institutes while doing good
work are only able to- go around the
state once a year. For the three reas-
ons just stated many of the young
people have no adequate guidance in
some of the essentials of the new agri-
culture. The paper wishes to try to
be Of some assistance to- as many Of
such as it can. 1t proposes to publish
series of articles in a column set apart
for that purpose, that will give time
ly suggestions to those who are ambi-
tious to try to improve their farming
methods. All Editor Kerr asks is a
hearty cooperation on the part of his
young readers, as there will be nc ex-
pense attached to the undertaking ex-
cept a little postage.
The plan is to outline simple expert
ments that are ~seasOnable and to ask
members of the league to follow the
instructions given and report on the
success Of the experiment. The paper
will look Out for the newest things that
are recommended and will give them
to it's readers. Then the column will
be open to discussion Of the latest and
best methods of doing things in every
line Of farm activity.
The aim will be to keep abreast of
the times, even leading a little to en-
courage others. The farm journal
wants to try to make the science of
agriculture popular and is going to Sc
cure the best help that it is possible
to obtain.

CRIPPEN TRIAL
OPENED TODAY
Prosecution States Its Case
mo Positive Evidence
as to Body.
ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES
Special bu United Press Wire.

Special by United Press Wire.
London, Oct 1S:-Facing the
judge with cool assurance, DR.. H. H.
Crippen today pleaded not guilty to
the charge of numbering his wife,
Belle Elmore. The trial then
opened. The jury was quickly COM
pleted and Kings Counsel Muir
opened the case for the crown. The
court room was crowded an hour be-
fore the proceeding opened, and a
great throng was outside unable to
gain admittance. Miss lie Neve,
Crippen's typist, was not in court.
Her trial will follow Crippen's.
In opening, Muir declared that the
prosecution would show that Grip
pen and Miss lie Neve had been in
triguing for three years to be rid of
Mrs. Crippen, and had done all in
their power to bring about an es-
arrangement and divorce, so that they
might wed. Muir told the jury they
would have to agree that the body
was that of Mrs. Crippen, even with
out positive Identification, all cir
cumstances pointing in that direc-
tion. First, she was missing. Sec
ond, Crippen would have been bene-
flied by her death. Third, no one
but Crippen would have been able to
bury the remains where they were
found.
Frederick Lowndes, Crippen's s
landlord, was the first witness. He
swore no one had occupied the house
save the Crippens at about the time
of the alleged murder. Mr. Marti-
netti, of the Ladies Music Hall
Guild, of which Belle Elmore was q
member, told of seeing Crippen and
Miss LIE Neve at a dinner dance and
that the girl was wearing jewels
which had belonged to Mrs. Crippen
Bruce Miller, the Chicago real es-
tate man, and the man whom Grip
pen said his wife had gone to join,
testified that he visited Mrs. Crippen
several times at her home and that
he wrote her affectionate letters. He
denied that he had ever been guilty
of improper relations with her. He
said he did not think the letters he
wrote her was improper, adding f'1e
(Crippen) knew all about them" He
admitted that he had kissed Mrs.
Crippen on several occasions and she
had kissed him in return. After
several unimportant witnesses were
examined the trial adjourned until
tomorrow.

Although all wires to the interior of
the island are down, 1t is known that
the hurricane has carried widespread
devastation through Cuba. 81
Postmaster General Nodarse said
that he had received private advices
that the towns of Martinas, Guane, La
GrIfa, Punta Cartes and Cortes had
been destroyed and that the greater
part of Artemisa, prosperous town
on the boundary of Havana province,
was In ruins.
Thirty persons are reported dead at

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Officials of the
weather bureau are of the opinion
that the dirigIble balloon America has
been blown out Of the north Atlantic
steamship lane, the course which Mr..
Wellman had intended to follow. This,
they declare, is the reason no message
has been received from him since Sun
aay.
Wellman said Just before he sailed
that he would start back for Atlantic
City the moment that his men decid-
ed that the voyage to Europe was i'm
practicable. Leroy Chamberlain, Wal
ter Wellman's sonin-law, says:
$50 far as we can make out by study
of the maps and charts which We
have the America has reached poini
where it can be decided whether there
is a chance to reach Europe. 1t Is al
most safe to say that this decision Is
.. being reached now or will be reached
within the next few hours by the mer
aboagd the America"
Wellman asked President Salus ot
the Atlantic City syndicate that Ii
backing the adventure to keep the
Americas hangar up and ready fol
him. Lots of persons along the board
walk and around the hotels were bet
ting that Wellman will reach the
hangar before he does Europe.
If the America is still sailing she
has beaten all records for continuous
flight Of dirfgibles, possibly all records
for endurance by gas bags.
Count Zeppelin on May 81, 1909, sail
ed his dirigible thirty seven hours from
Friedrichshafen to Bitterfeld and re-
turn, travelling more than $50 miles.
Assured that Wellman and his crew
win decide before night whether to
start the dash toward Europe or to
return to this city, families and
friends of the men on board and man
ayers of the expedition are awaiting
what they expect to be very important
messages to be received from the
America.

The delay necessitated a postpone
ment in the scheduled time of his
stops at various towns throughout
the county. He was about an hour
late in reaching Roosevelt, the first
stop.
An enthusiastic gathering of city
and county candidates, members of
the republican executive committee,
and staunch republicans met the

ciates at the Packer House here
About twelve automobiles, decorated
with red, white and blue, flags, stood
at the curb, ready to whisk the
speechmaking party around the
northern end of the county.
Mr. Lewis had little time to con-
verse at the Packer House. He re-
sumed his seat in the auto after
shaking hands all around and, fall
ing in line, was hurried off to Roose-
welt.
John F. Ten Brock, Rene P Won
Minden and A. r. Schenck, the as
sembly candidates, met the speaker
of the day at the hotel, and followed
him in John H. Gregory's car. John
Pfeiffer, chairman of the republican
county committee, was on deck and
accompanied the gubernatorial can
didate in his car.
L. Burt Moore and William F.
Van Pelt, two of the committee ap-
pointed to receive Mr. Lewis, well
coined him on behalf of local repub-
licans. A rousing cheer was given
when the candidates car appeared,
to which he responded by gracefully
lifting his hat.
On his return to this city about 6
o'clock Mr.. Lewis and the party will
dine at the Packer House. At
o'clock practically the entire repub-
lican organization of the city will
parade to the hotel, amid red fire
and band music. They will escort

the day. John w. Griggs, former
governor of New Jersey, will also
speak. The assembly candidates and
city Office seekers will appear.
Great preparations have been
made for the reception of the candi-
date at Metuchen. Fullerton's band
of ten pieces was secured for the
occasion, and for more than an hour
before the party appeared kept the
impatient audience enlivened.
The party will visit Metuchen
twice today. Immediately after leav-

the Hillside Inn, at Metuchen, where
luncheon was served Mr.. Lewis will
speak there later this afternoon. He
