new PLAN FOR G.N
TO PARALLEL 500
REPORT FROM WAHPEToN THAT
ROAD WILL RUN DIAGONAL.
LY ACROSS STATE FROM
THERE.

Wahpeton, N. D.. March 17.-For a
long time the Great Northern Railway
Co. has been endeavoring to run a
line across the state to oppose and
claim some of the territory now
claimed by the 500. In the past two
years rumors have been circulated to
the effect that the proposed line would
start from Fargo and that the cut
off would be divided into two branch
es, one running in southern Pierce
county to Minot by way of Surrey, the
other crossing the 500 railroad some
where near Anamoose or Drake, and
going to Williston by way of Ryder,
Plaza or Nesson.
Both lines would enter 500 territory
and pass through one of the most pros
porous sections Of the state where the
wheat and cattle country promises A
rich return for the added competition
BY grading and townsite plans the fact
is apparently substantiated that the
cutoff running to Williston will no
doubt be built or at least started the
coming season.
1t was rumored in railroad circles
here this morning that plans on the
line proposed to run from Fargo to
Minot were hung up for the time being
or until the Great Northern company
could run a servey from this city 10
Minot, 1t is understood that the
rumor originated from good authority
at the Great Northern headuua rters,
at st. Paul.
The now road, as given out in rail-
read circles here and at Breckenridge,
would leave Richland county at or near

ENDS LIFE With
CARBOLIC ACID
CLARENCE RAoLlEN SUICIDES AT
WEBSTER HOTEL BELIEVED
WORRY OVER PHARMACY Ex.
ANIMATION LED 20 HIS RASH
ACT.

Demented over his probable failure
at the examination completed yester-
day before the state pharmacy board
Clarence Baglien, aged 20 years, last
evening committed suicide at the
Webster hotel, by taking nearly the
entire contents OF a four-ounce bottle
Of carbolic acid. The body Of the
young man was found by the clerk at
the hotel shortly before 10 o'clock
There was then no SIGNS Of life and
when the rash act was committed will
probably always remain a mystery
Baglien, whose parents live at Hills
boro. came to Fargo the first OF the
week from Cliffc I'd, N. D., where he
has been employed in a drug store
being a registered assistant pharma-
cizt. For two months last summer he
was employed in tie Mcdonald drug
store here. He came to Fargo this
week to take the state board examina-
ton.
He wrote the examination DIP to res
terday afternoon, but failed to take the
practical tests Whether 1t was the
fact that he missed this that lead to
tie SUICIDE, OF some OLneT reason Is
matter of conjecture. 1t is claimed
he was young man of exemplary
habits, who had no financial difficulty,
sickness or worry over any subject
whatever
Relatives this afternoon stated that
the victim had never made a former
attempt on his life and that state
ments to that effect are false.
One Of the first papers written by
Baglien in the pharmacy examination
was marked this morning by the
board and was above the passing av-
erage. The rest of his papers have
not been marked yet.
o. H. Baglien, father of the de-
ceased. came down from Hillsboro this
morning and with other relatives took
charge of the body. An aunt, Mrs.
Tom Sander on, resides in Fargo.
A coroners jury composed of G. B.
Wade E. A. Fitzgerald and Jack Lang,
started an investigation into the case
this afternoon. The evidence which
will be presented corresponds with the
facts as stated abo--e.

County, where the 500 would be cross
ed at Lucca. The road would cross
the main line of the Northern Pacific
at Sanborn and enter northeastern
Stutsman. passing through Edmonds
and cutting diagonally across Wells
from southeast to northwest From
there the proposed road would either
enter southwestern McHenry county or
swing south. thence into Minot. II is
probable, however. that the road
would again cross the 500 at Bergen
in McHenry county, thus making the
road more direct.

ISOLATION OF Surry county. The monu'
ment is OF beautiful granite 20 feet in
height and is surmounted by a bronze
statue of life-size Confederate cavalry
man, with sword in hand at parade
rest.
The ceremonies were opened with
prayer by Rev. w. c. Blair, which was
followed by an address Of welcome by
j. Gordon Bohannon. The orator was
United States Senator Claude A. Swan

cling that owing to a death in the

WATSON MYSTERY UNsoLvED.

The session OF the coroner's jury in
Parkersburg, w. Va, in the inyestiga-
ton being made into the murder OF
Judge James A. Watson last Friday
night only intensified the mystery.
Last night the authorities were COM
pletely at sea with all OF the suspects
released, every clue exhausted and no
new leads in sight. Some Of the evil
dence obtained from reputable parties
so fatty contradicted other facts which
the authorities have been relying upon
as true that they are now completely
mystified.
They have not given up in despair,
as the inquest was last night adjourned
over until today, when more witnesses
are to be examined
The most sensational move yesterday
was again taking in custody Jessie
Metz, one of the suspects, formerly ar
rested, but who was released Monday
night, however; she was later released
second time.
All Of the druggists of Parkersburg
have been subpoenaed to bring in their
prescription blanks, this being done in
an effort to get trace of where the
strychnine with which Judge Watson
was poisoned was purchased.

Iowa Republicans.

Des Moines, Aug. 3.-With an open,
positive reputation of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff law, Senator A. b. Cum
MINIS. leader of the Senate insurgents
today sounded the battle cry of insur-
gency as temporary chairman of the
Iowa state republican convention.
Cummins not only did not apologize
for, but gloried in his vote against the
tariff bill.
IF there had been an honest attempt
to fix duties according to the coast OF
production, | might have yielded, " said
the senator in defending his own re-
publcanism. but there was no such
attempt, and |, for one, refused to fol-
low, and would refuse again to follow
Aldrich, Payne, Hale, Lodge, Cannon
and Dalzell into sneeying, contempt
uous, open reputation of my party
platform. "
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. S.-For the
first time in the history Of the republi-
can party in Iowa, a state convention
is in session today with the endorse
ment OF a republican president and a
republican congress as the only issue.
What is more, the insurgents, led by
Senator Jonathan p. Deliver and AL
bert B. Cummins, will, unless all signs
fail, withhold this endorsement from
the administration and approve OF the
insurgency Of the states leaders in
Congress in opposition 10 the measures
OF President Taft.
The district caucuses were held early
this morning, resulting in the selection
OF "A resolutions committee composed OF
six progressiyes and five standpatters.
The majority platform will endorse
Taft for good intentions" only, and
then Iaud to the skies the insurgent
senators and congressman from Iowa.
The minority Of the resolutions COM
mittee will have a report TO present to
the convention which will endorse Taft
and his administration and the repub-
lican leaders of the nation; endorse the
administration of Go, ernor Carroll, OF
Iowa, by name; endorse the Payne-Al-
drich tariff bill and endorse the Iowa
senators in so far as they have aided
Taft.
The minority report will probably be
killed after a hot debate, by a majority
of at least 200, for the progressiyes are
in the saddle. All the state officers ex-
copt a justice OF the Supreme Court
and a superintendent of public instruc-
ton, were selected at the June prima-
ries and the namination OF these officials
is overshadowed in the Taft and anti
Taft fight
