TO PROTECT MISSIONARIES
Navel Force Goes Up the Yangtse
River.

Washington, Sept. 12.-All the
American naval strength deemed
necessary as a precaution is being
concentrated as near as possible to
the scene of serious disorders in
China. Admiral Murdoch cabled to
the navy department that he sailed on
his flagship Saratoga, accompanied by
the cruisers New Orleans and Helena,
from Shanghai for Marking. The ad-
miral's report contained nothing re-
garding the situation in China.
Against the strong current of the
Yangtsekiang the three cruisers are
akaly to make slow Roadway. They
rye expected at Marking by tomorrow.
At uhat point they will relieve some
of this light draft gunboats, which will
push on up the river to get as near
ass possible to Szechuen province and
afford asylum to the missionaries who
have been obliged to leave Chengtu,
where the soldiers and rioters have
claShed.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 12.-Unotficial

About twenty-five small towns have

5HOPMEN WILL NOT STRIKE
Executive Board of M%achinists' Union
Won't Authorize.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-The strike
threatened by the shopmen of the Hi
aois Central railroad because of the
refusal to recognize the system fed
grafton of mechanical employees has
been averted.
Of chief influence in preventing the
strike was the refusal of the executive
board of the International Association
Of Machinists, in session at Davenport,
Ia, to authorize the strike on the
ground the system federation had not
conducted its negotiations properly
with the Illinois Central, and because
the strike would imperil the working
Agreements o. existing between the
railroads and several of the interna-
ional unions.
As the machinists are important in
the Federation of Railroad Shopmen,
a strike without the benefit of financial
assistance Of the international union
a considered to be hazardous to the
welfare of the federation.

RAILWAY BUILDERS HAVE DAY
James J. Hill, Louis Hill, Howard Ell

Bismarck Exposition.

Plans for the first North Dakota In
dustrial exposition, which will open in
Bismarck Sept. 26, are progressing
rapidly and indications are that the
event will be one of unusual merit
and that the exhibits that will be
found at the show will carry out the
object of the movement to it's fullest
capacity, that of indicating just how
vast are the resources of the state.
Railroad men of the Northwest will
show their interest in the exposition
by attending on the afternoon of Sept.
20, which day has been set aside as
railroad day." James ]. Hill, Louis
Hill and Howard Elliott will be pres
ent and the program provides for an
address by each. ]. M. Hannaford, G..
T. Slade and Thomas Cooper are other
Northwestern railroad men who will
be in attendance.
President Pennington of the 500
railroad has also been invited, but he
will not be able to come until Oct. 5.
He will be accompanied by other 500
officials and they will make the trip
from the Twin Cities by special train,
bringing several prominent business
men of those cities with them.
Oct. 4, 5 and 6 will be days of par
ticular interest to the farmers, as the
farmers institute force of lecturers
will be in attendance. Professor J. H.
Worst of the agricultural college, Pro
fessor T. A. Hoverstad, State Engineer
Atkinson, Dairy Commissioner Flint
and Dr.. E. Taylor Of Illinois will be
among the speakers of those days.
Travellers of the state have also
been given a day, Oct. IA being the
time set apart for them. A program
particularly interesting to them will
be arranged.
Many interesting exhibits have been
secured for the exposition. One Of
these is the federal dairy exhibit, OBJ
tanned through the efforts of Dairy
Commissioner Flint. Another was Sc
cured by State Engineer Atkinson,
being the federal apparatus for dem
onstrating the value of good roads.
Oct. Is has been set aside as edu-

STIR in POLITICS
Burdick and Hanna Announce They
May Run for Governor.

May Run for Governor.
The gubernatorial situation in North
Dakota was given new life by the an
nouncement of Congressman l.. B.
Hanna that in a few days he would
issue a definite statement whether he
would enter the race for governor as
a standpat Republican candidate and
also by the publication of a letter
from Lieutenant Governor Burdick
that he would make the race if there
was sufficient demand.
Mr.. Hanna has been urged by the
stalwart wing of the Republican party
to enter the contest, but he wants to
make a thorough Investigation in the
the state, after his long absence in
Washington, as to what chances he
might have.
Mr.. Burdick was popularity supposed
to want to run for congress in the
new third congressional district. There
had also been some talk of his enter
ing the ace for the district justice
ship.
He disclaims any intention of either
and says he will run for governor if
wanted, but for nothing else. He was
elected speaker of the house and later
lieutenant governor.

ELECTRIC WAY PROJECT
Enderlin to Fort Ransom Trolley
Road May Be Built Soon.

Plans looking to the construction
of an electric railway line between
Enderlin and Fort Ransom, an inland
town in Ransom county, which have
been contemplated for some time,
have advanced to the point where it
is practically assured that the work
will be done. A large amount of
stock has been sold and the promoters
are enthusiastic over their success.
E. S. Lovelace of Fort Ransom, one
of the pioneer residents of that town
and we'll known throughout the north,
is at the head of the movement. He
has been engaged in the task of work
ing up enough enthusiasm to make the
company possible for two or three
years and declares he has finally been
successful in so doing.
Fort Ransom lies about fifteen miles
from Lisbon and Elliott, the cities from
which freight is now transported. The
roads are not of the best and the cost
of f%reighting is high. With the estab.
lishment of an electric railway line
connection this cost would be greatly
reduced.
In the event that the Enderlin to
Fort Ransom line is constructed the
plans call for an extension later, which
would include Sheldon. The local end
of the line would afford connection
with the 500 railroad and an effort
is being made to interest that road in
the proposition.

FAMOUS AUTHORIZES
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Katherine Cecil Thurston Expires
at Hotel in Cork.

Cork, Sept. Mrs. Katherine Cecil
Thurston, famous author of ''The Mas
querader," THE Gambler and other
books, was found dead in a hotel here.
Mrs. Thurston had been living qui-
city since her divorce from her author
husband, Ernest Temple Thurston,
whom she married in 1901. In 1907
Thurston left his wife, declaring that
for the purposes Of his literary work
it was necessary for him to go to the
very bottom of society. He took up
his residence in the Soho quarter with
another woman.
When she secured her divorce Mrs.
Thurston told the court that she had
offered to forgive her husband if he
would return to her. He refused, it
was stated, on the ground that he was
not worthy. He also complained that
his wife was making more money than

Jury ConNlcts Young virginian
Of Wife Murder.
JUDGE GIVES DEATH PENALTY
Twelve Men Spend Brief Time in
Prayer, Then Vote Unanimously
for Conviction.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va, Sept.
9.-Twelve Virginia farmers knelt at
dusk in the obscurity of the small
juryroom at Chesterfield Courthouse,
praying fervently that they might pass
judgment Alright on Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., indicted for the murder of his
wife. They arose a moment later and
silently n by one recorded a unani-
nous verdict of guilty"
Pausing in solemn contemplation for
fifty-eight minutes. weighing carefully
the meaning of their decision and once
more on Bonded knees ~beseeching di-
vine assistance that they might not
err, they filed into the hushed still
ness of a crowded courtroom and with
startling s~uddenness twelve voices, in
stead of the usual one of the foreman,
spoke the single word guilty" 1t was
almost a shout.
The perfunctory motions for a new
trial were made by counsel for the
defense. The usual granting of per-
mission even to argue the point vas
denied, as Judge Watson in a stern
voice declared that all rulings of the
court were on comparatively unim-
portant detail and in no way could
have influenced the verdict.
A stay OF execution was granted,
however, in order to give counsel an
opportunity to apply for writ of er-
ror when the court of appeals meets
in November.
Judge Watson delivered an impress
sive speech to the prisoner. He told
how the young man had stained his
own life and that Of the way in which
he lived by his sordid acts.
you have had a fair and impartial
trial, Mr.. Beattie," said Judge Watson,
"and the jury has done what it con-
siders it's duty. Therefore, you have
been convicted of murder in the first
degree, and on Nov. "a, between
the hours of sunrise and sunset, you
must forfeit you life to the commun-

French Reply Said to Be ConCi|ia-
tory but Firm.
CABINET MEETING is CALLED
Germany's Demands Such as Could
Not Be Accepted and Answer
Is Immediately Written.

Paris, Sept. 12.-France's reply to
Hermany's counter proposals in the
Moroccan negotiations has been writ
sen and will be laid before the French
cabinet for approval. The task Of
drawing up the reply proved simpler
chan at first expected, doubtless be-
cause the German demands were
such as could not be accepted by
France.
The premier, M. Caillaux, after con-
,erring with several colleagues, made
up his mind to convoke a meeting OF
The cabinet and sent notices to the
ministers. NJ. Caillaux will lay before
shem his answer to Germany, after
which it will be dispatched by special
carrier to the French ambassador at
Berlin, who will hand it to the Ger
man foreign minister.
1t is understood that the reply,
while written in a spirit of cOncilia-
ton, is absolutely firm with regard
TO the position France has assumed
concerning questions of principle from
which France will not depart a hairs
breadth.
The premier's energetic and bust
1esslike manne of proceeding has had
other proof of the absolute unanimity
and firmness Of the government as to
its policy and as a manifestation of
the governments desire to do its ut
most to shorten the period of nicer
tainty which is having such prejudicial
effects on the markets of the world.
1t also removes any possibility Of
charges that France by delay assist
ed in bringing about further financial
distress in Germany.
The broad outlines of Germany's
proposals have been communicated to
the public, because the government
believes that the people have a right
10 know at this period what is being
done. Foreign Minister De Selves also
has indicated in a semi-official note
that Frances reply would be a refusal
to accept Germany's conditions. In
this French opinion appears to be
wholly united and prepared for any
contingency.
One point of view in official quar-
bers is that Germany's financial situa-
ton, which is expected to reach a eli
max by the end Of September, may
tend to moderate Germany's demands.

Body Punctured by Rake.

To have one tooth of a hayrake
driven into his body neal the left hin,
going clear through and coming out
at the right hip, and still live, is the
experience of Bentler Berghart, Jr.,
aged eight, living eighteen miles from
Napoleon, will be able to tell of if he
entirely %recovers. The boy was driv-
ing the rake when the horse became
slightly frightened, throwing him off.
One of the teeth caught him in his
hip, causing the injury, but even with
the tooth piercing his body he stopped
the horses, extricated himself and
walked to his home, a half mile dis
tant, before he fell unconscious from
the loss of blood and terrible pain.

MlNoT SLAYER IN CUSTODY
Farmer Who Shot Neishbor Brought
in for Hearing.

In for Hearing.
Sheriff Ed Kelley arrived in Minot
with Gus Johnson, the farmer living
twenty miles south of Minot who is
charged with shooting and killing
John Cash, a neighbor. The body of
John Cash also was brought to the
city.
The story of the shooting is told by
Mrs. Cash, the only witness of the
tragedy. Mrs. Cash says that for sew
eral years Cash and Johnson had been
living on the same farm, Cash and his
wife in a house and Johnson in a dug
out. Cash recently bought the place
from Johnson.
There was some lumber on the place
and while Cash was away teaching
school Johnson went to the Cash home
and said that the lumber belonged to
him and that he was going to sell it.
Mrs. Gould refused to let Johnson take
the lumber and Johnson went away.
When Cash returned from his school
Mrs. Cash told him about the lumber
controversy and he started toward the
dugout in which Johnson lived.
Johnson says he told Cash to keep
away, but that Cash kept on approach
ing the house and, according to the
story of Mrs. Cash, Johnson shot Cash
with a shotgun at a distance of about
forty feet. Mrs. Cash says her hus-
band did not have a gun. Johnson
maintains that he shot in self-defense.
The shot penetrated the skull and

UNITE TO WITHHOLD WHEAT
Farmers Of a North Dakota District
Want Higher Prices.

Farmers of the New England dis
trict and of Hettinger county, at
meetings held in New England and
in Mott, are taking steps to bring
about a general movement looking to
the controlling OIL the wheat market
to such an extent that a better price
may be obtained. The most feasible
plan so far placed before the organ
ization is that of holding the grain
back from the buyers until such a
time as the price is where they con-
tend it should be.
One of the particular objects of the
farmers organization is to take &C.
ton toward the creation of such con
ditions as will make possible the
holding OF the grain rather than imme-
date marketing of the same.
