Scarlet Lays
Down the Law

Col. Alex. Scarlet, Minot's hui
name officer, states that he is going
to perform his duty in a fearless man
ner. In the first place, he states that
he will see that the dog catcher puts
no dogs to death. He states that
the catcher has no right to do this,
and the developments will be watched
with interest. He says the catcher
did not properly house, feed and
water the dogs last year., and that
President Lesueur, himself, after be.
ing shown the dog pound, turned the
CANNES loose.
Furthermore, the Colonel says he is
going after certain farmers who have
been in the habit of letting their
teams stand on the street all day long
without food or water.

One of the North Dakota exchang-
es tells the following: A man cancell-
ed his, subscription to the paper by
refusing lit at the post office, and left
the country. owing the editor over
three dollars. Recently the scribe
was greatly astounded to receive a
letter from the delinquent in which
was enclosed the amount Of his debt.
He said that he had been converted
at revival meeting and felt in duty
bound to pay the old bill. That edi-
tor is under the impression that his
old subscriber got the right brand Of

Congressman Dawson, of the Second
Iowa District, has decided to be can
didate for reelection.
With the installation of the new re-
gime in governmental affairs In New
York City, for the first time in six
years the chief offices of the municipal
,ity are not filled by men allied with the
Tammany Hall organization.
The joint committee of Congress-.
composed of six Senators and six Rep
resentatives, created to investigate the
official acts of Messrs. Ballinger and
Pinchot, began its sessions. Lewis r.
Claws, special agent, was the first wit
ness to be examined. His testimony
raised question of professional eth
les on the part of Ballinger rather than
of official misconduct, the point being
that Ballinger, before becoming land
commissioner, had drawn up an agree
ment designed to convey the rights Of
dummy entrants on certain public
lands in Washington to the Wilson
Coal Company. At this point Claws
was asked by one member of the com
mittee to state what he intended to
prove against Ballinger. Thereupon
Lewis G. Brandies of Boston. appear
ing as counsel for CLAWS, said that his
client was averse to formulating a spe-
cifc charge and felt that this should
be left to the committee after hearing.

investigation would bring out more
than was contained in the charges filed
by Claws with the President.
Not satisfied with what he has all.

and its efficiency and the desirability
of having the federal control over rail-
roads extended, President Taft is hay-

A resolutionj proposing that the
House shall elect five additional mem

ENFoRcEs SUICIDE AGREEMENT


Father and Then Kills Himself.
Six years ago, when they were mar
ried, Sandie Morrison, an Omaha let
ter carrier, and Miss Hattie Sumner
entered into a suicide agreement. Ere
quently since then Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
rison have talked of suicide and
agreed that one could not live without
the other. Last Saturday, when Nor
rison came home from his work, he
remarked: Hattie, have decided
that we are to co." The wife begged
for delay. He attacked her with a
knife, wounding her on the neck. Es-
Gaping, she ran away and sought safe
ty with her parents. A few days later
Morrison held a conference with his
wife and her father, ]. H. Sumner. He
appeared rational. She plainly told
him that she had changed her mind.
Morrison then urged his wife and her
father to accompany him to the office
Of justice, where, he said, he wanted
to deed over his property. AS the
three reached the street he pulled a
revolver and shot his wife in the back
Of the head and Sumner in the right
eye. AS the two fell to the sidewalk
he turned the gun upon himself and
sent bullet in his forehead, dying
Instantly. Mrs. Morrison may recover,
but Sumner will die.

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Liberals Will Continue to Direct
Policy Of British Empire.

Policy or British empire.
The Liberals will continue to direct
the policy of the British empire. The
lead is cut down some in the present
appeal to the voters. The last time the
Liberals had 354 over the Unionists,
counting SO Irish Nationalist and So
Laborites. Now this supremacy has
been reducedfto 1874, including 80 Irish
Nationalist and 26 Laborites.
The result is disappointing to the
party of progress. 1t was expected that
the Liberals would elect at least so
members more than they have and that
they would carry all the measures they
advocated through Parliament without
the aid Of any other party. AS 1t is
now the vote is SO close between them
and the Unionists that they must count
upon the Irish Nationalist or the La
borites to get certain of their bills
through. The rightful abridgment of
the power of the House of Lords can
only be done by an alliance with the
two lesser parties. That will come, as
the Home Rulers and the Laborites are
in full accord with the proposal. The
policy Of protection gets a setback be-
cause the textile centers voted over
whelmingly against it.
The granting of home rule is quite
unlikely. much as it was hoped that
this might come to pass. Premier AS
quith promised ireland the prize 1t has
been valorously contending for, but
even he will hardly be able to gain 1t,
for the landlord strength among his
party is sufficient, by joining hands
with the Unionists, to prevent its con.
summation. The failure to achieve this
after the premier's pledge is most re-,
grettable.
The system of labor exchanges will
be established now that the Liberals
have been continued in office. There
will be $50 of these authorized, which
will bring labor and capital into closer
touch by providing work for idle men
in a clearing house in which the en-
ployer is as anxious for help as the
honest seeker for work is after en-
ployment.

Trying to Escape Found-New
Timbers Placed Under Roof.

After three days of incessant labor
only 400 feet of the many miles of sub
terranean passages of the st. Paul
mine in Cherry, Ill, were open, and it
was problematical when the 1877 bodies
could be brought to the surface. Ev.
cry effort was being made to clear a
runway from the main shaft to the air
pit. Inspection of the cleared portion
of the second level showed that from
the bottom of the main shaft $50 feet
underground, westward for $50 feet,
the main road is in good condition.
Some of the heavy timbers near the
shaft are charred, but they are solid
and intact. The main passage to the
east is walled UP. Behind this wall is
a smoldering fire. Back of the fire lie
about 100 dead.
About $50 feet west OF the shaft the
bottom level ends In blind alley, in
which lie the bodies of two mules, COW
cred with disinfectants. These mules
kicked viciousiy at several miners as
the men ran for their lives through
the smoky passageways after tho fire
started. One miner was kicked into
INCONSISTENCIES and could not escape.
while his companion was injured SO Sc
verely that he is still under the care

Near the end of the main road a tor

AS fast as men clear the runway new

as large as a steamer trunk were piled
as high as the roof. So narrow was

work that only two worked at time.

About $500 and small amount Of jew

along until the train was near Cornell,
Kan There they leaped from their
seats, backed Conductor Clarity into
a corner and drawing revolvers warn
ed him not to call for assistance. One
of the robbers then covered the pas
sengers with two large revolvers. "Yo,i
will now prepare to give up your val
uables," he said. My partner hero
will pass among you. Please oe quiet
The partner" thereupon produced a
gunny sack and started on his collect
ing tour. From each passenger he
took everything of value. Money,
watches, diamonds and rings all went
into the sack.

NEW YORK.

J Trade in general displays certain
degree of quietness. not. by the way,
unusual at this, between-seasons pc
riod, but in several quarters there is
a greater disposition to act conserva-
lively in the matter of purchases. For
one thing, the agitation for lower
prices tends to the belief that quota
lions may recede to more attractive
levels, and at the same time some
large interests seem to fear inimical
action from the Federal authorities at
Washington. These factors. together
with the marked weakness In the
country's leading stock market and
the natural tendency of trade to mark
time at this season of the year. tend
to quieting of the current Of trade.
There is some uneasiness over labor
matters. Business failures for the
week ending with Feb. 3 in the United
States were 242. against 295 last
week, 2S6 in the like week OF 1909, 272
in 1908, 1913 in 1907 and 204 in 1906.
