| publican caucus OF both houses for
tonight viii undoubtedly go over till
| Monday unless there lis an unexpected
influx this evening

an insurgent caucus would be held 70 !.
night on the speakership, but this
seems TO be largely speculative and Is
unlikely to occur, as there are not a
sufficient number Of members here TO
make the event of much Importance.
II Is expected there will be a great
rush of members here tomorrow and
Monday morning, and lively times are
anticipated Monday.
The speakership situation remains
about the same. The candidates are
here and very active. Each expresses
confidence and with the small num-
Der Of house members present it is
impossible to predict anything def
nitely.
The Fargo delegation is on the
ground. Mr.. Price has been here a
few days and Messrs. stern and Stran-
ahan arrived last night. They are
doing everything they can to advance
Mr.. Prices candidacy for the speaker
ship.
Coming out on the train, Fargoans
had an amusing case Of mistaken
Identity. Miss Emma Haas of Helena,
Mont, was on the train and several
passengers began conversation with
her thinking it was Miss Bertha Haas
OF Fargo. The ladies are sisters and
the resemblance remarkable.

At 3 o'clock this afternoon a call was
circulated for a call Of the insurgenr
house members on the spealership to
be held Monday forenoon. 1t was be-
ing generally signed.

Man Tells Strange Story to
Cleveland Police
WIFE AND CHILD ARE DEAD
MAN SAYS HE LIVED IN Low.
Err FLOOR or HOUSE TWO
WEEKS NOT KNOWING THAT
DEAD BODIES or HIS WIFE AND
CHILD WERE UPSTAIRS.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 31.-For two
weeks, while the bodies of his wife
Anna and S-year-old daughter, Her
nina, lay in an upstairs room, Her
man Mielke lived in the downstairs
room at his home in Cedar avenue,
without suspecting that anything was
wrong, he told the police today. He
is being held pending an investigation.
Mielke, who is a paroled workhouse
prisoner, went to the police court
today to report to Probation Oh1cer
Vining. While there he told vining
that he had just discovered the death
of his wife and daughter.
Vining notified the police and a de-
tective was sent to Mielke's home. The
detective found the bodies badly de-
composed. He took Mielke to police
headquarters where the man said that
he and his wife quarreled two weeks
ago because he kicked their collie dog
and that he had not seen her or the
child since. He said he supposed she
had runaway until today, when he
made an investigation.
He said that he, had found a bottle
which had contained cbloroform in the
room in which the bodies were found.

MAIL CLERKS IN
ARMS over ORDER
RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE CLERKS
WILL ~-JEcT TO INCREASE
IN WORKING HOURS.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Dee. 31.--Men In
the railway mail service, string here
and elsewhere throughout the eopntEg
are anticipating renewal nt q ordS;
issued before the opening Of the Holt
day rush of mail and withdrawn after
a vigorous protest had been made.
The obnoxious order, which, ii is de-
clared, may result in a tie-up OF the
service if enforced, increases the hours
of service for railway mail clerks with
out compensating increase in pay,
and it is generally believed the de-
partment intends to increase the length
Of time served all along the line. on
most of the heavy lines clerks now
serve six days and rest six days. The
new dispensation conternplates twelve
days service with six days lay-off.
Where four crews now handle the work
it is expected that three will do it.
Clerks affirm they are now earning
their salaries, the work is hard and the
cost Of living high because of their en-
forced absence from home so much of
the time. They say the lay-off now Ia
really but change of work. Clerks
are expected to put in most OF the
time, when MT handling mail, inform
ing themselves on changes Of routes
and on changes OF offices.
Opposition to the rule, if issued and
enforced, may take the form of whole
sale designations from the service or
concerted action which would be akin
to a strike. Many assertions from the
service in this section have already re-
suited, it is declared, from the onerous
conditions imposed. by the department,
which, it is said, have grown steadily
more severe.

France Has Awarded This
City the RolO Statue
WILL BE In THE new PARK
SONS OF NORWAY ARE Ju5ILANT
OVER DISTINGUISHED HONOR
SECURED FROM FRANCE BY
THIS 4ciTY-sTATUE OF RoLLo
WILL BE SENT HERE AT AN
EARLY, DATE.

Fargo has been officially awarded the
Rollo statue. The local committee OF
Norsemen received the notice today.
1t will be located In the new park
purchased yesterday afternoon by the
park commission in Oak Grove.
The Rollo statue is to commemorate
the 1000th anniversary of the invasion
of France by the Norsemen. Prince
ollo commanded the invading forces.
The statue els presented to the Nor
wegians of America by the Norman
French and is a distinguished honor.
Several American cities were after it,
but the local Sons of Norway, DIR. H.
o. Fjelde of Abernrombie and others
were fortunate in winning the statue.
1t is probable the Sons Of Norway
will request that the new park be
named Rollo, as it is to be the loca-
ton of the only statue of the great
leader in the United States.
1t is such an honor for the city to
have captured that the citizens will
perhaps generally endorse the PROPOSE
ton to name the new park after the
statue.

CLEARANCES

The clearings of the Fargo banks
for the year 1910 were computed
this morning and show a big gain
over those of last year. The in
crease amounts to almost $4,000
600.
During 1910 the clearances Of the
local banks have been S44,072.-
1894. This amount exceeds thai
Of last year by $3,4S9,68 as the
clearances for 1903 amounted Ia
$40,5ss,110.os.
With the shortage OF crops in the
state many of the more pessimistic
citizens of Fargo have been loudly
claiming that there was a short
age OF bank clearances and that
the state and Fargo was going to
the dogs. With this marked in
crease in amount OF cIearingz in
the banks. confidence Is again re-
stored and the increase itself tg an
indication OF the prosperity OF the
city.
