AMOUNT IS GROWING
Shortage Of Deceased Chicago
Lawyer Over 100000.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-With the claims
against the Edward C. Ritsher estate
still piling up until they now have
passed the estimated total of $500, 900
Attorney John F. Rosen, as the rep
resentative of a number of the widows
whose tiny fortunes were swept away
by the dead lawyers insolvency,
threatened criminal proceedings as a
possible method Of bringing to light
assets which might be used to pay
these claims.
Attorney Rosen is also authority for
the statement that the trust funds
which were put into the hands of At
torney Ritsher by Mrs. Clementina
Wirth, Mrs. Emma F. Weizenberg,
Mrs. Agnes P. Schiller, Mrs. Amelia
Baehner and three of their friends to-
tai almost 5000, 900.
Although none of the money said to
have been lost by Ritsher on the race
track has been traced it is declared
that if it can be found through whom
this money was lost the estate could
recover three times the amount lost.
Should this prove possible Attorney
Rosen declared he would see to it
that the executor took the necessary
steps for the recovery of the money.

LILIPUTIAN BONES FOUND
Part of Skeleton of Adult Is Second
Dug Up in North Dakota.

The second Liliputian skeleton
to be found in Stark county was
unearthed near Gladstone by S. D.
Gregg. He was engaged in excavat-
ing for a cellar when the find was
made. The skeleton was in poor con-
dition, only a few ribs, a tooth, the
jaWbone and a part of the skull being
found.
The first find of this nature was
made twelve years ago by R. J. Tur-
ner while quarrying near Gladstone.
The skeleton was walled into the
sandstone, and there was a remnant
of a rude coffin in the tomb. It was in
a much better state of preservation
than the n just found.
These skeletons bear strong re-
semblance to each other. They are
of adults and their height would be
about three feet. The coffin found in
the first instance was peculiarly con-
structed, the boards being bound to-
gether by thongs.

Cettinge, Sept. Montenegro has
made a kingdom and a king. Cettinge
presents a wonderful spectacle, and
the streets of the village capital,

The skupshtina assembled in secret
session and voted an address to Prince
Nicholas, requesting him to assume
the royal title. AS soon as this solemn
act was completed the crown prince
appeared on a balcony of the palace
and proclaimed the new kingdom to
the assembled army and people. King
Nicholas, wearing the national cos
tune, stepped upon the balcony, ac-
companied by the queen and all the
attending royal ~personages, and ac-
knowledged the s%alutations of the null

At the conclusion of the service a

Mandac will now have a chance to

ANxIousLY AWAIT ACTION
North Dakota Politicians Wonder
What Committee Will Do.

The politicians of the state are
a%nxiously awaiting the action of the
state Republican central committee at
it's meeting in Bismarck this week.
The candidates selected a committee,
composed of the senatorial and con-
g%ressional nominees to prepare a plat
form for consideration.
AS these are the men most vitality
interested it might be surmised that
anything that would prove satisfactory
to this quartet would be all right, as
n senator and one congressman be.
long to each Republican faction.
But there is no guarantee, even if
these four should agree, than the state
central committee will adopt what
they recommend.
The state primary law is peculiar in
that it provides for the nomination of
candidates from constables to United
States senators and three months after
their nomination a meeting is called
to adopt a platform. When they meet
it would seem more logical that the
candidates themselves should deter
mine the platform, but the primary
law provides the state platform shall
be considered and adopted by the state
Republican central committee. This
committee is selected by legislative
districts two months after the state
wide primaries.
There is some speculation as to just
what would happen if the state central
committee were to be controlled by a
majority of the radicals of either fac
ton, and the majority opposed to the
fractional feeling of the candidates.
Should the candidates be stalwarts
and the committee progressive, or vice
versa, it might be unpleasant for the
candidates.
Should a candidate not like the plat
form the central committee prepared
for him, and bolt it, a peculiar situa-
ton Would arise, as he could not be
robbed of his nomination, and would
at the same time not be in accord with
the principles of his party as enunci-
ated by the central committee.
There are so many perculiar fea-
lures in the primary law that it will be
necessary to amend the measure at
the next session. ..rs.,

PENKNIFE STAB IS FATAL
Farm Laborer Murders Companion
Near Stampede.

Albert Benson, an employee on a
threshing crew a few miles from
Stampede, stabbed Henry Johnson of
Duluth, also a laborer working on the
ficted injuries which resulted fatally.
The men had an alteration over
Johnson taking Benson's rig without
permission. Benson drew a penknife
and stabbed Johnson in the neck, in
flicting a deep wound. Johnson was
hurried to Columbus, but bled to death
before medical aid could be secured.
The defendant waived examination,
and is in the Minot Jail awaiting trial
at the next term of court.

STRIKE IS ENDED
Great Industrial Struggle Is at
Last Terminated.
WILL ALL RETURN TO WORK
Seventy Thousand New York Garment
Workers Haze Been Idle
for Nine WsSks.

New York, Sept. 3.-The cloakmak-
ers' strike, n of the greatest indus
trial disturbances in the history of
American labor, has been settled.
Seventy thousand garment workers
who have been idle for nine weeks
will shortly return to work. Ten thou
sand of them and those dependent on
them, 10000 in all, were on the point
of eviction. Hundreds have already
been forced to the streets.
The industrial loss to employers and
employees has run high into the mil
lions. In loss of wages alone the to-
tai is more than s10,0 900, 900, while the
loss TO manufacturers, jobbers and re-
tailers the country over has been COM
puted at ten times that amount.
In spite of the ~stupendous readjust-
ment involved, the strike has been, in
the main, notable for it's peacefulness.
There were numerous cases of petty
disorder. and a petition of the manu-
facturers brought forth from Justice
Golf of the state supreme court an in
junction in which he ruled that any
strike called to demand the closed
shop was in restraint of trade.
Julius Henry Cohen, counsel for the
manufacturers association, describes
the agreement signed by him and rep
resentatives of the strikers in this
sentence: .....
Unions Win a Victory.
mo principle has been surrendered
by the manufacturers, yet the union
may truly assert it has won a great
victory for its people. The manufac,
turers believe in the union and in the
principle that all who desire it's bene.
fits should share in it's burdens"
One essential to this victory. and
but to the nation at large which wears
their output, is the abolition of all con.
tract work at home. Hereafter gar,
ments made in New York will be
manufactured under sanitary condi.
tions.
There will be no more sweat shops.
The rock on which all previous eff
forts at mutual Cancellation have split
has been the closed shop. That rock
has now been avoided by the adoption
of the preferential union shop" idea,
for which Louis D. Brandeis of Bos.
ton, formerly counsel for CLAWS. in
the Pinchot and Ballinger hearing. is
given full credit.
The settlement of the strike averts
a crisis on the crowded East Side.
With thousands out of work and un.
able to pay rent. the courts were lit.
orally swamped with eviction proceed
ings and there arose the protest of
thousands of mothers and children be.
Ing rendered s~helterless.

Girl Bitten by Rather.

Vida George, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer George of Bowman, was
bitten by a rattlesnake. In going
through a fence she stepped on a sage
brush in which the reptile was coiled,
the RATHER biting her on the ankle.
The girl had the presence of mind to
bind her shoe lace tightly above her
ankle and this fact probably saved her
life. Though she is very sick, there
is every q 8 to believe she will re-
cover.

ROOSEvELTON CONSERVATION
Feature of Second Days Session of
the Congress.

st. Paul, Sept. 6.-The feature of
the second days session of the Ma
tional Conservation congress was the
address of former President Theodore
Roosevelt, who spoke on National Eff
ficiency." The speaker gave warning
to the nation to curb the giant corpor-
atoms, which, he declared, were re-
sponsible to a large extent for waste.
destruction and monopoly of our nat
ural and asserted that the
time was at hand for orderly develop
ment and use, coupled with the preser-
walton of our natural resources, by
making the most of what we have for
the benefit of all of us, instead of leav-
ing the sources of material prosperity
open to indiscriminate exploitation.
On the question of state or federal
control Colonel Roosevelt declared en-
phatically in favor of the latter. The
question, he said, was raised by the
opponents of conservation in order to
cloud the issue and cause a conflict of
jurisdiction. The question. he said, is
primarily in the interest of the great
corporations, which desire to escape
all government control. In conclusion
he said:
What this country needs is what
every free country must set before it
as the great goal toward which it
works-an equal opportunity for life.
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
for every one of it's citizens. To
achieve this end we must put a stop
to the improper political domination
no less than the improper economic
dominion of great special interests"
