CHOLERA IN
N. DAKOTA?
Was Immigrant Girl Exposed
to Dread Disease?
ARRIVED At DARLINGTON
ELLIS ISLAND OFFICIALS NOTIFY
DARLINGTON HEALTH Off.
GERS TO FIND AND WATCH HER
WAS FROM INFECTED RUS
SIAN DISTRICT. TYP

Darlington, N. D.. Nov. 26,-Has an
emigrant from the cholera infected
district OF Russia arrived in Caring
ton the past week? That is the ques-
ton that local state and national
health officials are endeavoring to de-
termine. A communication was re-
ceived here Tuesday stating Wanda
Gerbacker had left Ellis Island, the
receiving station for immigrants at
New York. last Thursday with Car
rington as the destination. The girl
is from Russia and the immigration
officials state that she is from dis
trict in that country that is suffering
from the dread scourge Of cholera.
Both the state and local health off,
Gals have been notified to locate the
girl and endeavor to And out at once
If she shows any signs of having the
disease. Cholera is very contagious,
and it's death rate is exceedingly high.
So far, the girl has not been located
and whether or not she left the train
here cannot be determined. 1t is pos
sible that she was headed for some of
the Russian settlements along the
Turtle Lake branch, although the COM
munication from Ellis Island makes
Darlington as the specific destination.

The DEATH
PENALTY
Labor Leaders Said to Have
InStieated Murder

Paris, Nov. 26.--The jury in the
court Of assizes at Rouen today i'm
posed the death penalty upon Secre-
tary Durand of the Coal Handlers
union. who was convicted of instigat
ing the murder of Foreman Donge
during strike on the docks at Havre
in september. Donge abandoned hts
comrades and returned to work. Soor
afterwards he was beaten to death in
the streets.
The actual participants of the crime
were condemned to terms of from
eight to fifteen years imprisonment al
hard labor.
The evidence introduced showed that
on the day preceding the murder Sec
rotary Durand introduced a motion tn
get rid of Donge and the union adopted
the motion with only one dissenting
voice. Officers of the confederation of
labor in Paris charge that the verdict
was inspired by Premier Brands re-
cent attitude towards the trades unions
and have called a public meeting to
protest against the sentence.

IN TARIFF
WATTS TARIFF BOARD REPORT
BELIEF GENERAL. IN WASHING
TON THAT THE PRESIDENT
WILL NOT ASK REVISION OF
ANY SCHEDULE PENDING HE
REPORT or THE TARIFF BOARD.

Washington. ID. G., Nov. 2s.--Presl-
dent Taft was reported seday as not
finally having mad Ap hsnasgind with
regard to the tariif features OF his
forthcoming message to congress. He
had q long conference with Chairman
II. G. Emery of the tariff board. and
talked also with delegation from the
National Tariff Commission associa-
tion
There is pretty general impression
in Washington that Taft will be unable
to recommend the revision OF any par
ticular schedule of tariff in his regu-
lar message He probably win indi-
cate that the tariff board is nor vet
ready to submit detailed report on
any one of the schedules, and until the
board is able to submit data upon
which an absolutely scientific revision
can be made the president will recon-
mend that any action whatsoever on
the tariff shall be deferred.
The board may be in position soon
to report detailed facts concerning
some one schedule. Just as soon as he
is made aware of this there is every
likelihood that the president will send
a special message to congress en-
hodying the report

PLEADS GUILTY TO
STEALING WATCH
BERT FoNEs SENTENCED TO FIVE
DAYS FOR STEALING slLvERINE
WATCH FROM EMPLOYER AT
ADDISON - SAYS FARMER uN-
DERPAID HIM.

For taking an inferior watch in a
silverine case. which at the most could
only bring about So, Bert Zones was
sentenced to five days in the county
jail this morning. In default of fine
OF $40 and costs imposed by the county
court Zones pleaded guilty to the
charge brought by B. J. Schwartz, a
farmer residing in Addison township,
and for whom the defendant had been
working prior to the theft.
The man was arrested by the police
department last evening on the COM
plant OF Schwartz and his hearing
for arraignment before Judge Hanson
was Immediately arranged. According
to the story OF the complaining witness.
Zones has been in his employ for some
time and is the father of a family of
three children. His wife assisted In
the work on the farm also He 8 VS.
that Zones had quit work, received his
payment in full and had started to
leave. Later he came back to the
house and took the watch which be-
longed to Schwartz.
The defendant admitted most of the
story and stated he quite regretted hav-
ing taken the cheap timepiece, but said
his anger caused him to do 1T. He told
the court that in all lis experience in
working as farm laborer he had never
been cheated by poor farmer; that
1t was always the rich farmers who
had beaten him or tried to. Zones
declared that his employer had UNDER
paid him about $40 on the month and
had cut his wife's wages down so cents
on the week. When he found that no
more amicable settlement could be ef-
fected, he just concluded to take the
watch which ne saw lying on a table
and dispose Of 1t for what it would
bring.
Fones admitted that he was sorry
ia little later when 1t was too late.

POPULATION OF
NORTH DAKOTA
WORD HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM
HEAD OF THE CENSUS BUREAU
THAT POPULATION OF STATE
AND FARGO WILL Sc OUT SOON
--oTHER CITIES.

Word has Just been received from
e. Dana Durand. director OF the CEN
sus bureau, that the population of the
state of North Dakota and the coun-
ties In the state will be given out in a
week or ten days. A number Of cit
les In this state will also be allowed
to know the number of residents with
In their borders at the same time.
Congressman Hanna wrote to Mr..
Durand short time ago asking him
when the population for the state
could be secured and has just receiv-
ed a most satisfactory response. The
cities that win be given out in this
state sometime during the next ten
days are Fargo. Grand Forks, Devils
Lake, Williston, Dickinson, Bismarck.
Mandan, jamestown, Valley City and
Wahpeton.
The population of the various cities
will be looked for most anxiously and
the total of the figures will be most
eagerly sought for. Many Of the citi-
zens of these towns have spent a great
deal of time surmising what the popu-
lations Of their home cities would be-.
Minot has already received the num-
Der Of the inhabitants OF the magic city
and were greatly disappointed in the
outcome. It Is thought that some other
cities In the state will go through the
same feeling as did Minot.
With the announcement of the cen-
sus Of the state, 1t is entirely prob
able that North Dakota will have an
increase In the congressional repre-
sentation. II this should be the case,
the state will be divided up into con-
Rressional districts.

SCREWDRIVER
IS HURLED INTO
N. D. MANS HEAD

Casselton, N. D., Nov. 26.-~E,
Priewe, the local cabinet maker
and undertaken, was the victim OF
a severe and painful accident, and
that he is on earth at this time is
due to piece Of rare good luck,
mingled in with the unfortunate
part of it.
Mr.. Priewe was cutting piece
OF hard wood with his power saw
and was using screwdriver as a
pTy to keep the saw from binding.
Somehow the screwdriver came in
contact with the revolving saw and
was slung through the air, the
edged part OF the tool entering
Mr.. Piewe's head just over the left
eye.
The injured man, strange to say,
was able to summon help and walk
to Taubert's drug store. and thence
upstairs to DR.. Rowe's office, where
his head was firmly held by
Messrs. r. Morton and l.. Al, Tau
bert and DIR. Rowe was compelled
to use his full strength to extract
the intruder. The good luck that
Mr.. Priewe had was that the eye
was missed and the angle of entry
saved the brain from perforation.
The injured man suffered consid-
ably but at last accounts was I'm a
way to soon be around in condi-
ton to tell how the whole affair
came about--and all hope the time
for his recovery win be the short
est possible under the circum-
stances.

Practically all Of the victims were
young women, employees of manu-
featuring concerns which occupied
the building. Some escaped by
jumping into life nets.
Fifty girls were trapped in the
upper floor of the four story build
ing occupied by Louis Wolff, man
ufacturer Of underwear, and many
of them jumped and were killed or
badly injured.
The fire is believed to have start
ed from an explosion in the plant
of the Anchor Lamp Co. on the
third floor. IL spread with great
rapidity through the building. All
the ambulances in the city were
called to the scene. None of the
victims, so far taken out, have

Big Question Is Over Admission
Of Miners
MACHINISTS MAY WITHDRAW
PROBABLE THAT NOMINATING
COMMITTEE WILL REPORT I'M
FAVOR OF OLD oFFIcERs-AT-
LANTA SEEMS TO BE FAVORED
FOR 1911 MEETING.

St Louis. Mo-. Nov. 26.-The last
session Of the American Federation Of
Labor's annual convention began three
hours before the regular meeting time
today as the delegates wanted to COM
plete their work before the time set
for adjournment.
The big question before the conven-
ton was the application Of the West
ern Federation of Miners for a char
ter. The granting of it now rests in
the hands OF President Gompers,
whose decision on a point of law viii
grant or refuse the charter. The ma
chinists have announced that if the
western miners are admitted with
jurisdiction over the machinists they
will withdraw from the American Fed
Grafton.
The nominating committee is ex-
pected to report in favor of the present
officers. Atlanta seems to be favored
for the next convention.
Machinists Lose Out.
The proposition to grant the West
ern Federation of Labor a charter in
the American Federation of Labor was
this afternoon referred to the execu-
tive council. President Gompers
over-ruled the point of law raised by
James O'Connell of the machinists.

WITH CARELESS HANDS,

Williston, N. D., Nov. 26.-McKenzie
county has a sort of sixth carbon copy
Of Wisconsin's John Deitz. Not that
McKenzie's dangerous man is charged
with a maudlin desire to initiate the
hero Of Cameron dam" but he seems
to entertain similar views on his right
to guard with his rife the fruits OF
nature in the wooded flats around his
cabin. When 1t comes to points of right
and law Deitz has the best of the
comparison.
Last week the Williston Country
club went into camp for their annual
deer hunt just across the Missouri
in the neighborhood Of this mans
abode. He appears to regard the club
as trespassers and several times dur
ing their stay sent bullets singing in
uncomfortably close proximity to the
persons Of several of the party.
This man is Charles James, said
to be cousin OF Frank and Jesse
james. He is an old settler in these
parts and bachelor.
Living alone, he has. perhaps.
