dexter. representative in congress from
the Third Washington district, told an
audience at Cooper Union that the
only way to keep the country out of
the hands of the thieves is to re.
elect Theodore Roosevelt as president.
Mr.. Poindexter is froml Walla Walla.
He tackled his Endorsement of Colonel
Roosevelt to the end of long speech
in which he roasted Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger, praised Clifford Pin
chot, and warned the People institute
that gigantic conspiracy has been or
ganized to steal every national resource
worth having.
II had not intended to say this, "
said Mr.. Poindexter, "but the thought
has occurred to you as well as to me,
that ii we are to save our riches for
the generations to come we must call
upon the men who have never failed

of all of us, and / say to you that
the only way we can preserve the pol

Fifteen Thousand Acres Near Marshall,
Mimi, to Be Sold; News Notes.

" DC 0OlOS NEWS ANVtCS.
Marshall, Minn., April 2O.-James C..
Burchard has received authority from
the New York association, which has
charge of the j. NJ. Burke estate to
use his best judgment in putting the
$4,000 or more acres of Burke land
on the market. This wild land IN
Lyon county has been wanted by the
farmers for number of years but as
it was not for sale it could not be
bought Four sections surrounding
Lake Marshall, south of town. will
be held, but the rest will be sold by
Mr.. Burchard.
j. Nj. Burke, who was Il millionaire
speculator and IL bachelor, has held
these land for about twenty-five years
and during that time no one has been
able to buy an acre of it at any price.
1t is estimated that these lands will
now bring the Burke estate three-qlar-
tiers of IL million dollars, though they
cost the owner less than So per acre.
The farmers are glad to get the land
md the opening up of 100 more quar-
ter section farms will add much to the
wealth of the already prosperous
county.
Several gardeners and farmers i'
this vicinity, this spring have turned
up odd hills of potatoes, missed last
fall, and invariably found the tubere
in perfect condition. \ number of
different ones have exhibited potatoes
lug from the ground this spring, and
all samples are as sound as when ripe
last fall or as those stored in cellars
iluring the winter.
There was a heavy fall of SNOW last
fall before the ground frozc and this
same covering of SNOW lay on unit
March ], and when it passed off al
that time the weather was mild and
continued SO. There was but littl,
frost in the ground. As general rule
it is not advisable to delay till spring
the harvesting of the potato crop.
At special meeting of the common
council held here John g. Schultz was
elected president and Peter White vice
president. The new mayor. Thomas Z
Davis appointed II. o. Clark chief OF
police and W. 7. MaXson. police Off

WILL NOT MAKE A CONTEST
Senator Hale Of Maine Willing to
Retire.

Augusta, Me-, April 2O.-The letter
from Senator Eugene Hale to Byron
Boyd, chairman of the Republican
state committee, in which he declines
to .engage in a conflict for the SEN
atorship," has been received by Chair
man Boyd.
In the letter Senator Hale did not
once refer to the condition of his
health. but instead called attention to
the fact that he had been given what
no other man in Maine has received,
five unanimous nominations for con-
tinuous terms in the senate, and 1t
did not seem fitting for him ito make
a personal contest for the succession. y
Senator Hale took occasion to pre-
dict that should the Democrats carry
the next house of representatives
within ninety days after the opening
of the next congress free trade tar
iff bill will be sent to the senate in
which Names principal industries and
interests will be marked for slaugh-

Longer public service is not neces-
sary to my peace of mind says Mr..

tirement has little in it that is dis
agreeable to me.
"The situation will not find me,
however, either a grumbler or NAL
content My desire is to see Governor
Fernald reelected by good majority.
with Republican legislature at his
back. 1t is further most important
that Maine should send four Repub-

gress to avoid what may be the crit
