ASKING POINTS ON PROBLEM.

That the political situation as regards nomi-
neeS for president has never III recent years
or IN whole generation almost-been so uncer-
tam seven months before the holding of the
rational conventions as it now gets fresh illus
iration almost every day. Here for instance is

pulled him away from it it from him; and in

COMING INTO ITS OWN.

That the camp Of Manhattan, in Nye county
Nevada is at last receiving the recognition that
it merits is indicated by the reports of steady
progress which are coming out from there.
Special attention has been called to the camp
within the past few days by the negotiations for
the sale of the Gold Crater claim to an English
syndicate This deal apparently has been
successfully concluded, only awaiting official con
tirmaton from London. Authority to commence
work has already, it may be noted, been received
by the local management
Another development of significant import
is the actual starting Of construction work
the Associated ten-stamp mill. In this see
ton of the camp. adjoining the town on the
southeast there is considerable activity in the
mining line LesSces. as is practically universal
throughout the camp, are carrying most Of
the work but it is understood that at least one
new corporation is in process of organization
which will take over and operate number of
claims on its own account
Active work with excellent results being Sc
cured, is in progress in all sections of the camp.
y number of important deals which will bring
in additional >pita are being worked out, new
leases are be sought, and i'm all the camp is
showing substantial progress
The interest aroused in the outside public by
this work is well illustrated by the action re
corded on the San Francisco exchange where
during the past week the ManhattanS led the
market in activity
Manhattan has passed through its first boom,
has gone through slump, and is now on the
upward trend. with indications that it will
shortly take its place among the steady produe-
ing camps of the state. In fact, it is well on its
way to this goal-Denver Mining Record.

A DANGEROUS PROPOSAL.

There is an incident of the Beattie which
has not been generally understood. Beattie was
electrocuted Friday, according to the sentence
of the court; but it seems that Governor William
II. Mann of Virginia made exceedingly
dangerous offer to Beatte, viz, that he would
give him "A repreve of thirty days if Beattie
would confess himself guilty Of the crime.
1t is clear that if Beattie had made confess
sion on that sort Of negotiation bargain,
there would always have been room for sus-
picion that he made the confession return
for the repreve, and not necessarily because the
confession was true When death
approaching him as Beattie saw it, there would
be powerful temptation to confess, even if the
confession was lie in order to get the addi-
tional thirty days of life
Governor Mann, therefore, was exceednly in
discreet in making that kind of offer, 1t is
fortunate indeed for all concerned that Beattie
did not close with the proposal, and that his
confession. when made. was of such character
and under such circumstances that there can be
no possible doubt Of its truth.

STUDENT BLAcKGUARD1sM AT YALE

President Hadley ought to give the Yale stu
dents a few lessons in gentility with pick
handle fence picket. During a performance
given in New Haven by Gaby Deslys, the
torious French dancer band of Yale men broke
into dsgraceful riot. They rushed upon the
stage, chased the performers to their dressing
rooms and smashed things generally. After they
were elected by the police they stoned the thea
ter and assaulted the stage hands.
The excuse for this display of rowdyism was
that the more immodest parts of the performance
were cut out by order Of the police The college
men went to the theater to see somthing nasty
and cut up rough because they were disappont-
ed They acted like hoodlums because they were
not treated to a libinous performance. They
acted like backguards because their black
guardly taste was not gratitied
Yale will not profit by the incident. One is
naturally justified in drawing the conclusion
that the social atmosphere of Yale is not Of the
best. Apparently it is decidedly off color. What
can be the standard Of good breeding in III
stitution in which such things occur? The pub
lie opinion that will tolerate such conduct is of
low order 1t has not the quality that makes
real gentlemen. 1t would not be quite up to
par at a hoodlum picnic or a frontier dance hall

LITTLE PROSPECT OF TARIFF REVISION.

Two matters of present acute comment i'll
Washington are First, the rlmored determine
ton Of the Democratic leaders III the house of
representatives to "Stand pat on the party s
tarit1-reviSiop record made at the special session
that is, to make effort whatever to revise
the Payne Aldrch law until it is learned what
if anything President Taft is going to recon-
mend along that line; second, the semi-olicia
announcement that the president will keep silent
on the subject until after he gets the final com
pete report of his tariff board-which will not
be until after the regular annual message has
been submitted to the congress
1t may well be set down, it would seem,
that there will be change at all in the present
tariff law at the coming session. The president
has already vetoed the revision bills that the
Democracy processes to believe that the people
want He will not, Of course, reverse himself.
Nothing that he may recommend will probably
suit the Underwood committee or the Democratic
house
SO what would be the use of wasting words
and time the matter!

News of serious import to the small proper

CORONER SAYS HERTY
Death ACCIDENTAL
INQUEST WAS HELD YESTERDAY
At SCENE OF DEATH OF
YOUNG MAN.
Body Of Boy Remained in Field for
Several Days While Searching
Party Was Out.

Upon further investigation of the
Herty case, the coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of accidental death
due to a shotgun discharge.
A very searching examination was
made, Assistant States Attorney Nc
Curdy aiding and nothing was found
that would carry out anything but an
accident theory. The boy had been
on very good terms with all the mem
bers of the family and no reason was
known to account for suicide.
The reason the body was not found
sooner was due to the fact that the
parents We're making a search in 9th
er directions and would have found
the body as soon as search was
made in that direction from the farm
house.
The party, consisting of Coroner
Fields, Sheriff Barnes and Attorney
McCurdy, returned as far as Wilton in
Mr.. McCurdy's automobile, but were
stalled there and did not arrive in
the Capital City until last evening.

CLUSTER lights meet. :.
WITH favor LAST night
JUDGE CASSELMAN WANTS CITY
CASES BROUGHT IN HIS
COURT.
Considerable Business transacted by
Board-Cluster Lights Seem to
Meet With Favor.

The city commissioners met in reg
ular session last night and transacted
the usual routine business. Several
citizens appeared before the council
of lamps we're decided upon, the COM
missioners seeming to favor what is
known as the down ligl t. Commits
sioners Patterson and Jackson spoke
upon the subject and it was decided
to advertise at once for bids for the
contract of supplying the number of
lights desired.
Several business men of the city
appeared before the commission ask
ing that the blocks originally planned
for in the lighting should be extended
to include Main street as far as Sec
ond, and Third street as far as Broad
way; also to the 500 depot east on
Main street. The commissioners took
the various requests under consider
alton and a committee report will be
made at the next meeting.
Police Magistrate Casselman made
a protest against the manner in WI ich
the chief of police had been neglect
ing to honor the Office of city police
magistrate, taking cases to the county
judge instead. H. r. Berndt appeared
in support of Mr.. Casselman's views
and there was lengthy discussion of
the legality of taking cases of cited
nature before the county Judge. Chief
of Police Mcdonald spoke in his own
behalf and the commissioners took
the question under consideration.

LARIMORE HAS
A real SCANDAL
ALL KINDS OF RUMORS lNVOLV.
ING PROMINENT PEOPLE OF
THAT CITY ARE RIFE

LARIMORE, N. D., August 15-Lari-
more has a scandal that is declared
by those on the inside to be one riv-
aling in it's sensational nature any
thing that has happened in that pro-
gressive little city for many moons.
According to the story the husband
of one of the we'll known women of
the city returned home one day last
week and did a little rummaging
around. In the top drawer of the
bureau he found quite collection
of letters in masculine handwriting
and strange to say they were not all
written by the same hand. Yes,
there were three or four or five diff
ferent kinds of writing and letters.
Hubble proceeded to raise something
of rumpus. He tore his hair, broke
furniture and played with the dishes,
and finally gathered together the let
ters and went downtown to consult an
attorney. 1t was decidedly plain that
the affections of his wife were not to
hum" neither could the burglary
charge be preferred against any other
one male person in Larimore.
The people involved in the scandal
are we'll known all over the state and
if an action at law is started and the
case ever comes to trial something
real interesting may be expected. In
the meantime Larimore is waiting
for something to happen.
