TT was simply magnificent, the girls

words on the lips of the many who
witnessed the senior class at the nor

You Like 1t. Saturday night. Naturally
some people possess more natural his
toronto ability than others, and for
that reason are selected for prominent
parts in entertainments of that char

the ability of those cast for minor
characters. The duke, Touchstone,
Rosalind. Audrey, Orlando, were in
splendid hands and IL there was a
touch of professionalism in the whole
caste. II came from Miss Simonitsch,
but the honors bestowed upon her by
the audience rested easily and it is
very safe to say that she will wear the
same size hat tonight as she did Sat-
urday night.
The staging met all of the demands

that a master hand had been exercis-

SEEKS RELIEF
FOR SETTLERS
N. .. STATE SENATOR CHARGES
LANDoFFIcE AGENTS WITH
COERCION.

Washington. Feb. 2s.-Efforts are be-
ing made by State Sen. w. B. Iverson
of Williston to procure relief for set
tiers in western North Dakota who are
being coerced to accept title to the
surface Of their lands.
1t is claimed that agents for the
general landoffice are working the
conservation idea overtime and dis
torting the law in-as-much as a
proper distinction is not being made
as between lands chiefly valuable for
farming purposes and mining pur-
poses.
Senator Iverson contends that the
general landoff1ce in constructing the
law, is making a big error working
unnecessary hardship upon the agri-
cultural interests of the state.
The North Dakota congressional
delegation has promised to cooperate
with Mr.. Iverson in relieving the stu
alton.

N. D. man ENDS
LIFE HERE TODAY
w. 3. HILL OF WHEATLAND, ".
y. SUICIDES BY TAKING DOSE
OF sTRYcHNlNE-DlEs IN CITY
JAiL-DEsPoNpENcY WAS THE
PROBABLE MOTIVE.

w. B. Hill, about 80 years OF age,
committed suicide in this city this
morning by taking dose OF strych-
nine. He was married, and letters and
papers on his person indicated that his
home was at Wheatland, N. d. and
that his wife is conducting a hotel at
that place Hill had worked in Fargo
for Strate. the drayman for sometime
past.
About 10 o'clock this morning, Act
ing Chief of Police Erickson was on
First avenue north. near the Magnuson
Bros. establishment when he met Hill
acting very queerly, and Hill said
something about strychnine. The Of
ficer got from the man his name, Sc
cured glass Of milk to use as an
antidote, put him in a vehicle and had
the unfortunate fellow taken to police
headquarters where he had expired be-
fore medical assistance could reach
him.
On the suicides person were several
letters and notes. One note was adj
dressed to his wife penned roughly on
the back Of a printed letterhead from
Q. M. Strate, drsyman, Fargo. The
text of the note to the wife was:
Dear Wife. guess you are better off
without me. will go into the other
world, from pa with love, / love you
and could not live without YOU"
Employed by Fargo Drayman.
Q. M Strate. at the police station
this morning, said he was surprised
to hear that the man should commit
so rash deed. Yesterday Mr.. Strate
talked with Hill over the phone in
Wheatland Hill said he would be in
Fargo with the butter and eggs he had
promised, but Hill dod not make an
appearance at Mr.. Strate's office and
the next thing he heard about him was
a message from the local police saying
that the man was dead. HILL since the
holidays, had been in the employ Of
Mr.. Strate and the latter understood
that Hill was married to a young wo-
man he met at Wahpeton and that
the wedding occurred after q very
brief acquaintance
The motive for the deed is dificult
to determine and the only conclusion
reached is that Hill took his life dur
ing an acute Mt of epression. 1t has
been learned from Wheatland that
Mrs. Hill was conducting a small hotel
there. known as the Dakota house,
and that there has been some embar-
rassment for lack Of means. Hill has
been out of employment for some
time.
Coroner Vincent viewed the body of
Hill a few moments after death, and
he has concluded that an inquest will
not be necessary.
The wife of the unfortunate man
phoned to the police this afternoon to
the effect that she would arrive here
on the first train this evening.

PEKIN OPPOSES
TIBETAN RULER
DALAI LLAMA IS DECLARED TO
HAVE TRIED TO STIR UP
REVOLUTION.

Pekin, Feb. 2s.-The Chinese gov
eminent has deposed the Dalai Llama
as head of the Tibetan government,
and in an Official statement issued to-
day explains the action on the ground
that the nominal ruler had deserted
the capital following an attempt by
him to organize general revolt. The
official statement as follows:
THE Dalai Llama, upon his arrival
at Lhassa from Pekin, circulated with
the object of organizing general re-
volt. these rumors: First, that China
intended to exterminate Llamaism and
second, that British trade in affect was
injuring Tibet. The Dalai Llama then
took measures to thwart this trade,
whereupon China became alarmed, and
ordered 1000 troops to go to Lhassa
with the object of preserving the peace
mad affording protection.
Will Protect LIamsisn.
When the Dalai Llama learned of
the above. the Pekin government or
dered the Chinese residents to reason
with the Dalai Llama. who refused to
listen, and on Feb. IL he secretly left
Lhassa with his followers The resi-
dent searched ineffectively, whereupon
China deposed the Dalai Llama: or
dered the protection of Llamaism and
the strict observance of the existing
treaties with foreign overs concern
ing Tibet, with the purpose of preserv-
ing the status quo"

TAWNEY KNOCKS
new NAVAL POLICY
MlNNEsoTAN FoREsEEs BANK
RUPT COUNTRY IF MEYERS
PROGRAMME is ADOPTED.

washington, ID. C., Feb. 2S-m
caustic statement last night Repre-
sentative James A. Tawney Of Mime
sofa. chairman of the house committee
on appropriations, announced his COM
plete opposition to the governments
naval programme as it was outlined
yesterday to the committee by Secre-
tary Meyer.
Mr., Tawnev forsees bankruptcy OF
the government IL such programmes
are adhered to, and he charges their
agitation to a conspiracy of the ship
building interests of the United States.
Those interests" ne said, "are even
now getting ready to start another
war scare, Japanese, German or other
wise, with view to stimulating popu-
lar favor for an extravagant outlay
for the navy
THE competitive ship building
scheme" which Mr.. Tawney says is
sought by Secretary Meyer. in his
opinion is fraught with danger, and
the outlay necessary will compel the
levying of greatly increased taxes or
render necessary bond issue II the
treasury is not to be drained.
Astonished at Plans.
II have read of the governments
tentative naval programme with pro-
found establishment" said Mr.. Tawney
in his statement. Zone reason for my
surprise at the more than ambitious
naval programme which is suggested is
the fact that 1t involves a great In
crease in our now enormously large
appropriations for naval purposes
without basing at once any necessity
whatever as a means of national de-
Tense and also without any regard
whatever to the fact that in this fiscal
year we are facing deficit and That
next fiscal year we will be near our
aggregate revenues in the amount ap-
propriated this session
If our naval policy is to be deter
mined by our ability to compete with
old nations in the number and size
of our battleships, then the navy policy
in question should be adopted and
carried out without reference either
to our necessities for national de-
defenses or the adequacy Of the pub
lie revenues to meet the expenditures
necessary to gratifying our national
ambition.
At Peace With World.
Tn view of our geographical isola-
ton, which as a means of national
defense is worth more to US than the
largest navy any nation in the world
possesses, and also in view Of the fact
that in the fiscal year ending June 30
1909, we expended IL per cent of our
government revenue on account of
wars we have had, and wars we are
preparing for. it Is rather amazing to
find naval programme proposed that
will so greatly increase our appropria-
tions under this head.
I'VE are at peace with all the world
There is not even a prospect of our be-
coming involved in war with a foreign
nation. 1t seems almost incredible
that any one would suggest the adop-
ton of a naval programme which will
involve the expenditure of more money
than we have under existing revenue
laws ad a policy too which will vir-
tually put out of commission at least
half of our war vessels by making
them inferior in size and efficiency by
comparison with these giant battle
ships proposed"

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
MinneapoIis Market.

Minneapolis. Feb 2s.--Wheat made
new high points today on this turn and
while the action was limited the un-
dertone was strong, suggesting that
commitments on the long side should
prove profitable.
Damage reports are coming in from
scattered sections of the winter wheat
belt and we cannot help but believe
that the losses i'm fall sown wheat
win prove excessive. The milder
weather prevailing over that territory
win be followed hv colder weather
later and this will mean fresh batch
of bad news AS long as the reports
continue SO sensational it is folly to be
short wheat. Congestion in Chicago
Nav added to the discomfort of the
bears and the making of new high
prices indicates a further advance.
Would buy wheat on all recessions as
the outlook still favors the possibility
Of a big bull market. The close looks
as if further gains would be scored

HrNEY ASSATLS
FRISCO MAYOR
PUBLICLY DECLARES THAT Me.
cARTHY Is THE TOOL OF
PATRICK CALHOUN.

San Francisco, Feb. ga sudden
outburst of vituperation In the graft
cases today threw this city into a state
of expectancy such as in recent years
has always been followed by sensation
al developments.
Francis j. Heney publicly proclaims
Mayor Mccarthy to be the tool OF
Patrick Calhoun, the indicted head Of
the United railroads.
"Heney is liar and he lies because
he loves to lie," replied the mayor In
a scathing reply.
In the midst of this verbal display
Calhoun makes the charge that Judge
Lsawlor, before whom he was tried. en-
deavored to favor the prosecution and
obtain a jury prejudiced against him.
District Attorney F'ickert, whom
Heney charges with being subservient
to Calhoun, asserts that the evidence
does not warrant another trial for CAL
noun.
Judge Lawlor fatty refuses to dis
cuss the charges and threatens to put
the case in the hands of the state at
torney general.
1t was announced today that big
Jim" Gallagher, the most important
witness in the case against Calhoun,
had gone to Europe to stay.
District Attorney Fickert said he had
obtained evidence tending to show that
Heney and other members of the staff
OF his predecessor urged Gallagher to
go. Fickert alleges that the Heney
regime did everything they could do
to embarass Fickert and alleges that
witnesses were sent away to weaken
his position.

Stock Opinions.

Farsen Son & Co: We are a little
chary of the long side of the market,
and consider that it might be more
prudent to dispose Of long holdings
than to wait for declines on which to
make purchases.
Finley, Darrell e. Co.: We believe
that when the street discovers today
that there will be no decision handed
down by the supreme court in the to-
bacco case a covering movement will
begin for the short interest, which is
very important; it is our opinion that
stocks should be purchased on weak
spots.
S. r. Chaplin & Co: Traders who
have the courage to buy stocks on
these spots will make good progress
within a reasonable length of time.
Logan G. Bryan: We continue to
feel that the market is a better pur-
chase on declines than short sale
on advances in view of the support
which has been noticed in various
quarters when room traders endeavor
to unsettle the list, but at the same
time it seems advisable to accept
moderate profit and also to be pro-
tected with stop loss safeguards as
Washington news is likzly to again
become a factor at any time.-H. W.
