WILL EFFECT SENATE RACE?
EXTRA SESSION MAY PREVENT
BRANTLEY'S CANDIDACY.
South Georgia Statesman Can't Dis
charge Duties on Ways and Means
and Conduct Campaign.

ATLANTA.-An extra session Of
congress may mean the elimination,
it is said, of Congressman William
G. Brantley from the race for the
United States senate.
Up to the time that the extra ses-
sion was decided on it was practi-
cally certain that Mr.. Brantley
would be in the race; not, it is said,
that he proposed to make an active
fight on Senator Jos. M. Terrell, but
Senator Terrell failing for any cause
to land the plum he thought he
would have a good chance to garner
it in.
But an extra session of congress
may mean that Mr.. Brantley prac-
tically will hove to remain in Wash
lngtOn TO assist in the organization
OF the new ways and means commit
tee Of the house, of which heis a
prominent member.
This will give him little time for
hguring in a campaign for the SEN
ate in connection with which there
is said to be some hard work to be
done by whOmsoever would enter as
a candidates; and as evidence of
which it is said that Railroad Com
missioner G. Murphey Gambler, who
Will carry the Hoke Smith banner
In this race, is now doing some Of
the hardest work of his life, al
though as yet he has not made his
formal announcement.
Don't Believe COvingtOn Can Be Used
Is bOU
ever, that Mr.. Gambler is to be the
candidate Of the Hoke Smith fac
ton; that Hoke Smith will support
MIN, and that at the proper time
congressman T. w. Hardwick of the
IenJh will withdraw in Gamblers
favor. 1t is also anticipated that
Judge W. A. Covington of Moultrie,
likewise of the Hoke Smith camp,
Will get out of Mr.. Gamblers way.
Many of Covington's friends, how
ever do not believe that he can be
used in the interest of some other
candidate, and be put up and taken
down at will. They are for him on
ms own merits and not on the idea
mat ne is tied to the cOat-tail of
some ambitious politician.
Senator Terrell has recovered
from his recent attack to an extent
beyond the hopes of his friends. 1t
IS said now that there is absolutely
no impeachment in his speech, and
with the rest that he needs he will
soon be himself again and be able
to get about. Along with this i'm
provement i'll his condition comes
the announcement that Senator Ter
rell is positively in the race to stay,
and will make only such campaign
as the condition of his health will
permit between now and the as
sembling of he Legislature the lat
ter part of June.
1t looks more and more, therefore,
as if things are shaping themselves
inevitably for race between Cand-

WILL BE NO DOUBLE TRACKING
President of Central Says Court De-
cision Precludes improvements.

Charles w. Markham, president
Of the Illinois Central and Central of
Georgia railways, A., R. Lawton,
vice-president of the Central, and
several other prominent railroad Of
ficials have recently concluded tour
of inspection of the road.
1t was President Markham's first
tour of the Cent-al's properties, and
he is authority for the statement
that his election to the presidency
will not necessitate any change in
the management of the road. He
believes that the Central is already
a factor in the transportation world.
President Markham has stated
that he found the property in fine
physical condition, and that it OPP
crates through an especially attract
i've section of the country.
He announces that the decision of
the interstate commerce commission
in the railroad cases will preclude
any improvements on the line in the
near future, but that the operating
expenses of the road will not be cur
tailed. He denies the rumor that
the Central will be double-tracked
from Birmingham to SaYahnah.

Mr.. Brantley, it is said, was anx-
ious to have made the race, but of
course he cannot afford to neglect
the duties which attach to him as
a leading member of the house ways
and means committee.
The question naturally arises as to
whether Terrell or Gambler will de-
velop the greatest strength in the
legislature.

Long Time Leaking Out.
OMAHA, William ]. Bryan
was offered a bride of 100000
for his vote while a member of con-
gress, according to a story in the
Omaha World-Herald. The offer was
made while Mr.. Bryan was a mem
Der of congress during Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. At that time
he was one of the committee on
ways and means. The bride was
that Mr.. Bryan should not bring in
minority report of the bill to is
sue $3.50, 100000 of bonds payable
in gold, principal and interest. The
article gives no intimation as to
whom the bride offer came from.
The article came secondhand to the
World-Herald, and is credited to a
former banker Of Lincoln, Neb., who
has since died. In substance the
story follows:
The banker, while in Washington
visiting j Sterling Moore, then sec
rotary of agriculture, and Mr.. Bryan.
was approached by two men whose
names are not given, and was offer
ed 100000 if he would obtain Mr..
Bryan's consent to kill the minority
report on the bill, which was then
pending.
He was authorized to offer Mr..
Bryan $1,000,000 for his services.
II Bryan refused, but would agree
to absent himself when the bill came
up for debate, Bryan was to receive
100000. The banker refused. but
later saw the same two men talking
with Bryan. Two hours later Bry-
an told the banker that he had been
offered a bride of a million dollars
and he had refused it,
They offered me a bride of a mil
lion dollars not to bring in a. minor

LONDON.-The mobilization of an

excited great interest among Lon
don politicians and business men,
but all are still in the dark as to
whether the movement is for politi-
cal or purely military reasons
There is little doubt expressed by
the public and the newspapers that
the political situation in Mexico

Washington Maintains Movement Is
For Practice to Determine Eff
cheney of the Army.

WASHINGTON. - The movement
of the 10000 troops ordered by the
President to the southern frontier
of the country was effected with the
smoothness and regularity of clock
work. The celebrity with which the
orders have been carried out give
the impression that the movement
was an every day occurrence They
are stationed in the lower part of
Texas and California.
The troops are equipped with ball
cartridges, although it is the invari-
able practice to supply troops with
blank ammunition for practice exer-
cises or peaceful maneurvers. Not
withstanding this, however, official
Washington still maintains that the
movement is mercy a plan for prac-
tice to determine the efficiency of the
fighting arms of the country in mo-
billing and concentrating on short
notice.
While this is held to be true,
technically, the general impression
prevails that sudden and extensive
military activity has a vital and di-
rect relation to the revolutionary
movement in Mexico.
Officials Are Reticent.
The reticence of officials of the
state, war and navy departments are
accelerating this impression. The
idea, which is generally accepted,
even in the fact of the official an
nouncement that no significance
should be attached to the movement,
is that the government of the United
States is preparing for an eventuali-
ty that may develop with the passage
of the revolt against President Diaz.

its preparations today for the de-
spatch Of the fifth division of the
Atlantic fleet and a large detach-

WELL KNOWN PIONEER OF.
MED0RA DIES IN PARK

!. News was received of the finding of
the body of ''Foul-Mouth Bill Jones"
in Yellowstone park. It is supposed
that he became lost last winter and was
frozen to death.
Where is the old-timer of Bismarck or
Medora of thirty years ago who does not
remember ':Bill Jones?'' Jones was
a man of limited education, but had a
ready and wonderful amount of repair
tee, and a warm heart. In the early
seventies he was soldier in the reg
u]ar army at Fort Pembina, from which
post he deserted and travelled up the Red
river to where FARGO is now located,
where he joined the surveying party of
the N. P. and came over the country to
Bismarck, where he lived for some
years. He at one time drove the mail
wagon from Bismarck to Fort Steven
son. ...
Some thirty years ago he drifted to
the Little Missouri country, where he
followed hunting and working on
ranches. For two terms he served as
sheriff of Billings county. He left there
some ten years ago for the Yellowstone
park. in which country he remained
until his death.
To distinguish him from another ''Bill
Jones. he was called Foul Mouth
Bill. Bismarck Tribune.

the CROP PROSPECTS
AROUND NEW ENGLAND

The recent rains, says the New Eng
land Herald, have helped flax out
wonderfully and the farmers feel much
encouraged. Early flax is pretty we'll
filled right now and gives promise of a
fair yield. while heavier yields are
expected from the late crop. The bind
ers have been busy in the fields this
week and some very good yields are
expected. In some places headers are
used and quite number of farmers are
using flax attachments. The crops north
and west are the best this year. Many
farmers in the Midway country will get
more than generally considered good
crop. South and east the wheat crop is
not as good but many good fields will
average from 4 to 10 bushels to the
acre. much better than was expected
three weeks ago. There has been a vast
increase in acreage in this territory this
year and New England will be one of
the heavy grain markets this fall. Corn
and potatoes in some places give prom

WIFE OF SENATOR LEu1z
DIES SUDDENLY At HEBRON

Word was received in Dickinson on
August II. of the sudden death from
heart failure of Mrs. Ferdinand Leutz at
her nome in Hebron. Mrs. Leutz had
been ill a few days before her death
and was attended by physician, but
she seemed better and her case was not
considered at all serious. Senator Leutz
was awake about midnight and noticed
that his wife was resting nicely but a
few hours later he awoke and discovered
that life was nearly gone. A doctor
was hurriedly summoned but it was too
late.
Deceased was about 81 years of age
and was the mother of four children. the
youngest, son. being about IA years
old. Ferdinand Leutz and Anna Leutz
were married in Hebron on February %,
1886. and they had made several trips
together back to their native land of
Germany.
German Evangelical services were held
on Monday and the attendance was very
large from eastern Stark and western
Morton county points. Receiver W. A..
Mcclure of Dickinson, Commissioner
and Mrs. Herman Leutz and Postmaster
and Mrs. j. F. Christen of Taylor were
among those who went down from this
county.
Mrs. Leutz was lady much respected
and many mourn her unexpected death.

BOOST STARK co. LANDS
REDUCE FARM Improvements

The state board raised Stark county
lands 10 per cent. Outside of the city
limits of Dickinson and coal lands, the
acreage was put IN by the county board
at $3.50 per acre. The average price
now will be about $3.15 per acre.
AGAINST s2.s7A last year.
For some reason the state board
thought the farm improvements out here
were too high and made reduction of
80 is per cent.
Stark county had 80. 9S2 acres Of new
lands on the assessment list this year.
The coal lands added, under the Simp-
son law. amounts to $4,000 acres, q
total of IT'S. 982 acres not heretofore tax
ed in the county. It is ques ion il
the 10 per cent increase applies to the
coal lands. Anyway the increase
amounts to over half million dollars
for the assessment sheets.

FLOWING 20 ACRES A DAY
PACKER FOLLOWS PL0Ws

W. j. Mozely is. having 200 acres of
stubble turned back by George Moe, who
plows 20 acres per day on an average.
a packer follows the eight plows over the
fields, and Mr.. Mozely says that he
never saw land in finer condition for
the plow. The late rains have wet down
on stubble land to depth of IL or IS
inches and by using a power blowing
outfit the land can be turned before
much of the moisture has evaporated
which is very essential for the 1912
crop. If it rains some more the owner
will likely increase his fall plowine to
800 acres. He is paying 81 per acre
and boarding the men and is getting a
first-class job. .9

ARNETT GOES TO BILLINGS
Interested WITH CAPITALISTS

Within a short time A. H. Arnett
will move his family to Billings, Mon
tana, where he has become associated
with capitalists who have large inter-
est in that locality. For many years
Mr.. Arnett has been extensively en-
gagged in live stock pursuits in Western
North Dakota and in his new location
he will still have much work along the
same lines, as his people have exten-
sive land holdings around Billings.
The company also has 400, 600 acre
pasture on the Crow reservation where
sheep and other stock are run. Live
stock is Mr.. Arnett's speciality and he
has been very successful in this pursuit
as we'll as in his other business engage
ments. He gave up the presidency OF
the Merchants National bank of this
city on account of the Billings business
engagements which were more to his lik.
ing and associate him more closely
with LaCrosse bankers with whom he
had carried on extensive business trans
actions for quarter of a century.
Mr.. Arnett has disposed of his fine
residence property on First Ave. w.,
but he still retains his ranching inter
ests on Spring Creek, which will be left
in charge of Wilson Norred. He also
has land and other property interests
which will bring him back to this city
occasionally.
The Arnetts were among the earliest
residents in Dickinson and their many
friends and business associates will re-
gret that the family is to move to
another state.
