for construction work on the line
Some tire ago the peo'le of Faith
were informed by the railroad
company that they were unable to
continue the road into that town
this fall as they had promised
when they had the lot sale, this
owing to their failure to secure tn
necessary material. This caused
considerable CONSERVATION among
the citizens as with oat a road then
freight would have to be hauled
forty or fifty miles over land and
this would not only cause consider
able hardship AMI expense to the
merchants but also result in much
suffering to the homesteaders. 1t
was then that the people of Faith
brought suite against the company
ESQ it is alleged) to compell them
to keep faith with Faith as they
had promised, which seems to have
had a desired effect.

HILL Line TO FRISCO
Long Fight Ends in a Victory
Over Hartman Interests.

st. Paul, April 1S.-At a conference
of railroad officials held at Denver, a c
cording to a dispatch received here,
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad and the Denver and Rio
Grande and Western Pacific lines con-
cluded traffic agreements whereby
these systems will interchange bust
ness in Denver and the Gould lines
will become the outlet to California
for the Hill lines. This is looked up
on as a great achievement by the st.
Paul magnate and a triumph over the
Hartman lines.
President Darius Miller of the Bur-
lington road said after the conference
that through passenger trains prob
ably would be operated from Chicago
by way of Denver to Saa Francisco.
The new agreement between the
Hill and Gould lines marks a victory
for the Hill interests over the Harri-
man cohorts and practically gives
them an entrance into San Francisco,
something that the Hills have fought
for ten years.

RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED
Commons Votes to Abolish Veto Power
of House of Lords.

London, April 15.-Amid scenes Of
intense excitement hardly paralleled
since the G~ladstonian home rule de-
bates, the house of commons by ma
j~orities of 103 recorded it's approval
of Premier Asquith's resolutions deal
ing with the veto power of the house
of lords and heard the premier's
declaration of policy for carrying them
into statutory effect.
Having formally introduced, amid
loud cheers, his supporter bill en-
bodying the resolutions, Mr.. Asquith
said the governments effective exis-
tence depended upon the passing of
the resolutions into law. If the house
of lords failed to accept or declined to
consider their policy the government
would feel it their duty to advise the
crown as to what steps were neces-
sary to insure their policy receiving
statutory effect. 1t would not be right,
he continued, for him to disclose the
terms of that advice, but unless the
government found themselves in a
position to give their policy statutory
effect they would either resign office
or recommend dissolution of parlia-
ment.

BODY OF ED STERN IS FOUND
Believed North Dakota Man Was Vic
tim of Foul Play.

The badly decomposed body of Ed
Stern, who disappeared from Cleve-
land, this state. Feb. 2 and for whom
an untiring search has been made,
was found seven miles north of Moor
head by Sheriff Whaley and Toby Ed
wards, where it had been washed by
the high waters of several weeks ago.
The body is badly decomposed, but
papers found in the pockets served to
identify it.
When Stern disappeared he was
known to have had a large sum of
money on his person.
That foul play may have been the
motive of his death is borne out by
the fact that his dog, whose dead body
was found nearby, attracted the at
tention of residents near the river
one night early in February, when it
stood by a hole in the ice of the Red
river and maintained a doleful howl
ing until driven away.
1t is believed the dog later followed
his master through the hole in the ice.
Only 8 cents was found in Stern's
clothing.

NORTH DAKOTA PROSPERITY
Report of Federal Department of Agri-
culture.

Report of Federal Department of Agri-
culture.
Farming prospects in Western North
Dakota are very bright, according to
the soil survey which has been made
by the bureau of soils of the depart
ment Of agriculture. The report says
that "any one who expects to encoun-
ter the typical old time pioneer in
these prairie sections will be disap-
pointed"
ALREADY in some of the more east
ern counties" it says, the live stock
almost equals in number that of the
old grazing days and with the pro-
gressive development of more inten-
sive forms Of farming it is probable
that Western North Dakota will main
tain in the near future fully as many
head Of cattle as in the old ranching
days and in addition will be producing
grain crops which can only be meas
ured in millions of bushels"

RUSSELL LOSES THE CONTEST
But Fight for Estate May Be
Again Opened.

Dan Russell of Dickinson lost his
long identity fight for half of the es-
tate of the late Dan Russell of Mel
rose, Mass. In a decision rendered
by Judge George Lawton in the Mid
dlesex probate court the ranchman is
declared to be Jim" Rosseau, the
French Canadian from the Adiron-
dacks who disappeared years ago. The
courtroom was in an uproar at the de-
cision. Hundreds of persons gathered
outside and when the verdict was an
nounced it was greeted with Kisses
and cat calls.
In declaring the claimant to be
Rosseau, Judge Lawton based his de-
cision on the testimony of Horace
Whitmore of Minneapolis and the
Rosseau family, who claim him as son
and brother.
Boston attorneys believe that re.
cent developments in the famous Rus
sell will contest will eventually result
in a complete reopening of the case.
The action of Attorney Leslie Simp-
son in hurriedly leaving Boston for
Northern New York, where he will in
vestigate the history of the Rousseau
family, caused somewhat of a sensa-
ton. Giles Chase, a lawyer in
Messona, N. Y, where the Rousseau
family lives, was engaged by wire to
be in readiness to aid Attorney Simp-
son in the probe.
Several of the Rousseaus who took
the witness stand during the trial and
swore the Dakotan was a Rousseau
have been talking, it is said, about the
large sums of money they received.
Incidentally they have been having a
factional fight as to the division of
the money.
Accordingly many important fea-
lures. concerning this phase of the
case have reached Attorney Simpson
and he has determined to stft them
down.

ONE NEGATIVE VOTE
Campaign Publicity Bill Passed
by the House.

Washington, April 19.-Full public
1ty OF all contributions made to fur
Their national and congressional cam
palgnS is assured in the future as a
result of the passage by the house of
the Mccall bill. This measure pro-
vides that the managers of commit
tees conducting campaigns in two or
more states shall file with the clerk of
the house a statement of receipts and
expenditures. Representative Mccall,
author of the bill, and Perry Belmont
OF New York, who is here for the Cam
pa1gn Publicity association, aver that
the measure will be enacted into law.
Certain senate leaders are opposed
to the bill, but for political reasons
they will not attempt to prevent it's
passage by the senate.
Representative Mann of Illinois, the
great %objector," cast the only mega
tive vote against the Mccall bill in
the house. He protested against the
bill as being SO loosely drawn that it
would compel not only the Republican
and Democratic national congressional
committees to file statements of their
receipts and expenditures between ten
and fifteen days before an election,
but also would make it obligatory on
the Federation of Labor, the National
Civic Federation, the National Conser-
walton congress and all similar organ
izations, as we'll as all newspapers
publishing political editorials, to do
the same thing.

CHIEF OF POLICE INJURED
One Result of R~oosevelt's Visit to
Budapest.

Budapest, April 19.-Colonel Roose-
velt's visit to Budapest has already
cost the chief of police a broken leg
and if the enthusiasm of the Hun
garian populace continues throughout
his stay there is nc telling what the
final count will be.
The chief of police was caught in
the crush at the railway station,
knocked down and trampled on. He
tried his best to ave himself by tell
ing the people who he was, but the
great throng was bent IN just one
thing-getting just as near Roosevelt
as possible-and had the chief been
emperor it is probable the result would
have been the same.
Roosevelt said the struggle at the
station reminded him of a New York
department store bargain day rush,
He "a literally raised off the ground
and carried forty feet by the enthusi.
astic mob, but emerged without a
scratch.

PARDON FOR D. B. COOPER
Slayer of Carmack Freed by Governor
of Tennessee.

Nashville, Tenn, April 14.-In the
case of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper and
Robin J. Cooper, father and son, con-
victed of killing former Senator e.
w. Carmack on the stree. here Nov.
8, 1908, and sentenced to twenty
years each in the state Denitentiary,
the supreme court by a divided vote
affirmed the sentence as to D. B..
Cooper. AS to Robin Cooper the case,
also by a divided vote, is reversed and
remanded to the lower court for a new
trial.
While Chief Justice Beard was read
ing a dissenting opinion in the case of
Duncan B. Cooper, Governor Patter-
son wrote a full pardon for the de-
PENDANT, in which he declares:
"In my opinion neither of the de-
PENDANTS is guilty and they have not
had a fair and impartial trial, but were
convicted contrary to the law and evil
dence."

Colonel Roosevelt Received by
Austrian Emperor
STORY AS FALSEHOOD
Denies Stating He Would Again
Run for Presidency.

Vienna, April 16.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt was received at the
Austrian capital in manner almost like
hat accorded a reigning sovereign.
The punctilious Austrian court, the
most ceremonial of those of Europe,
had arranged the programme and it
left nothing undone which would en-
phasize the unprecedented honor that
was being paid the visiting American.
AS a special mark of his personal
esteem the aged emperor-king, Francis
Joseph, received Colonel Roosevelt in
his private apartments at the impos-
ing Hofburg palace instead of in the
regular audience chamber. The mon
arch, who was attired in an imperial
uniform, was extremely gracious to
the American and kept him in on
versation for thirty-five minutes. What
interesting subjects they found to dis
cuss has not TRANSFERRED, as they were
alone, and Colonel Roosevelt naturally
has declined to reveal the slightest
detail of the conversation.
Emperor Francis Joseph intended
personally to return Colonel Roose-
velt's call on his way out to the
Schoenbrunn castle, where the mon
arch usually passes the night, but was
deferred from so doing by a sudden
storm.
Therefore, he was compelled to send
his aide-decamp. Such an honor as a
return visit from the emperor is only
extended to reigning sovereigns.
Brands Story as Falsehood.
One of the first things Roosevelt
did on arriving here was to again
brand as a fake a statement that he
had consented to be a candidate for
the presidency again. The statement
this time was contained in the Paris
Herald, which quoted one of it's Ital-
ian correspondents.
The colonel positively asserted that
the story was a pure fake, that Meth
er he nor Clifford Pinchot had said
anything that could possibly warrant
such a statement.
In this connection Roosevelt said
his meeting with Pinchot was not to
be interpreted as a desire to hear only
one side of the conservation contro-
versy.
II want to hear all sides on all
questions" the colonel said, land I
shall be glad to see any one who can
enlighten me on political conditions.
I am sorry Senator Root could not
come to Europe"
The colonel made it plain that he
would stand for principles upon his
return to America, regardless of par
ties or persons. In concluding his re-
marks regarding the Paris Herald the
colonel said:
GAS this is the third false statement
in the Herald of a similar character
I might further decline to see the rep
resentatives of that paper"
