M'CUMBER IS
MOST POPULAR
MANY PETITIONS ARE BEING
FILED WITH THE SECRE-
TARY OF STATE
THESE DAYS.

Bismarck, N. D., May 23.-While
there is probably no connection be-
tween the two events, the decision of
the supreme court regarding the prop
er method of filing for the position of
United States senator has been fol-
lowed by an influx of petitions to the
office of the secretary of state. There
are two or three filed every day now
and as the time for filing is growing
short, there will probably be con-
tinual stream of them from now on.
Among those filed Friday are Midtbo,
the poor mans candidate for congress;
Andrew Miller, for attorney general
and w. E. Purcell for United States
senator on the democratic ticket
From the appearance of the list at
the office of the secretary there will
be no dearth of candidates for the
voters to choose from at the June pri-
maries. While there is little active
interest being taken by the people in
the campaign up to the present time
there seems to be very general in
clination to sign petitions, as many
of them have long lists OF signers
and particularly do the people seem
to take to the petitions of Senator Nc
Cumber, who seeks to succeed himself
as United States senator, as his petit
ton was probably more freely signed
than that of any other candidate who
has filed up to the present time.

WHISKEY and GIN
TAKEN in A RAID
CHIEF M'DONALD' OF BISMARCK,
AND POLICEMAN GETS. WAGON
LOAD or BOOZE.

Bismarck N. D., May 23.--Expecting
to land only a couple of barrels of beer
Chief of Police Mcdonald and Patrol
man Ely ran onto a plant of booze in
a raid here that required dray to cart
1t to the courthouse.
The play came up in an unusual
manner. It appears that one Finelson
had been suspected of running blind
pig, but the police were not sure
where it was being conducted aud
they watched the depot, and when
two barrels of beer were slipped out
of the place and started for head
quarters, the police followed. The two
barrels were taken to a barn on the
south side of the track, which is owned
by John Robidou and 1t was unloaded
and taken into the building. The police
then came down on the place and in
looking for the beer, came across a
large amount of liquor which had been
cleverIy concealed behind q blind door.
1t Is stated that there was spring
on the door by which means the in-
itiated could open the place, but 1t
was necessary for the police to use
an axe TO gain admittance.
When they got in and found about
200 half pinys OF whisky, about twenty
ave quarts and about a dozen bottles of
gin, they felt repaid for their trouble.
This is the largest amount or liquor
that has ever been seized at one time

DID FARGO GIRLS
STEAL The PURSE?

Miles City. May 24.-A purse which
was evidently stolen from Miss Mar
garet Mahoney in the Epstein store,
Friday afternoon was found this
morning under a pile of shirtwaists
in the Golden Rule store. Miss Ma
honey had been in the Epstein store
on Friday and made some purchases.
but when she went to make payment.
her purse, which she laid down while
examining the goods, was missing. The
saleslady and Miss Mahoney made the
rounds of the stores endeavoring to
find two young women who were i'm
the store at the same time, and finally
came upon them in the Golden Rule
store. Miss Schirmer asked them IL
they had not taken wrong purse by
mistake, but they said they had not
and exhibited their own.
This morning Mr.. Cresap of the
Golden Rule found the purse hidden
away near where the young women
had been standing. but the money had
been removed. The young women
who were registered at a hotel as from
Fargo, N. D., were advised that they
had better quit the town, which thew
did.

SAYS Comet IS
NOT HALLEY'S
SAGE OF CHRISTINE HAS A DIS
PUTE WITH THE ASTRoN-
oMERS-oFFERS THE
PROOFS.

Christine. N. D., May 21.-To The
Forum: Regardless of the predictions
of many wise men Halley's comet has
failed to appear. 1t is true that COM
pany Of bachelors saw the bright light
in the eastern sky, but that was de-
clared by them to be nothing more
than the transit OF Venus" Bachelors
make poor astronomers as a rule.
Do not be disappointed! Halley's
comet will not appear this year. It's
last visit was in 1885. AS it returns
every 76 years, it is not due to appear
in North Dakota until 1911. The recent
storms were not due to comet int1u-
ences; but rather to atmospheric pres
sure. Any observer Of the barometer
readings, as reported by the II. S.
weather bureau, will find that storm
centers are not governed by celestial
visitors. Neither do the phases of the
moon have anything to do with the
varigated weather conditions of the
past three months. The recent pub
lished reports OF the deviation of the
magnetic needle Of the Mariners COM
pass, is not a new discovery. HALEY
published his hypothesis of the varf-
alton Of the needle in 1892. Modern
thinkers should not steal the fire that
has burned on the altar of science be-
fore they were born. A scientific pla-
garist is the greatest foe to science.
The remarkable science on the part
OF the eminent dentists of North Dako-
ia, at their recent convention held in
Fargo, should guide the public mind.
Dentists use Laughing gas" in painless
dentistry. 1t is a known fact that the
tail of Halley's comet Is an enormous
reservoir filled with gas. If the comet
was due to appear this year, then every
dentist would have his gas tank ready
for filling. A dentist is painless"
scientist and exercises painstaking
precautions. Until we see numerous
tanks on the roofs of our molar en-
gineers, we must be willing to wait for
the appearance of Halley's comet in
1911. w. Edwards.

WAS PURELY
FABRICATION
INsURGENT PRESS BUREAU is
WORKING OVERTIME IN MAX
ING MISREPRESENTATION.

Devils Lake Journal: The following
telegram appeared in the Grand Forks
Herald yesterday:
Minneapolis, May 19.-Mayor Nc
Glory of Devils Lake, one of the lead
ers of the progressive faction of the
republican party, Is at the Hotel
Nicollet. Mr.. McClory is confident the
insurgents in North Dakota will sweep
the state.
The people of my state are tired of
political machinery and Bosses" said
McClory. They are getting so they
vote for the man. The insurgent move
ment is popular in North Dakota. 1t
is not aimed solely against the stand
pat branch of the republican party,
but also against the democratic ma
chinery. In other words, it is a new
party, and it will draw heavily from
both democratic and republican
forces"
To Journal reporter today Judge
McClory stated that there was not a
word of truth in the statement pub
lished. He was not in Minneapolis
on the 10Th, or the 18th, or the 18th, to
begin with, and to use the judges own
vigorous language:
Il went to Minneapolis on the 18th
to meet certain 500 railway officials
with reference to their proposed line
through this city; I talked to no per-
son while in Minneapolis with refer
ence to politics at all, did not meet a
single politician, saw no newspaper re-
porters, and by no word or act gave
anyone any reason or cause for the in
terview printed. 1t is wholly a fabri-
cation"

Dit one of her ears. AS the cow
