STIMMEL
SPOKE ON
LINCOLN

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 13.-The Leg
islature convened today in joint session
to commemorate the 1O2nd anniversary
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, six
teenth president of the United States.
Hon. Smith Stimmel of CasseIton, the
only surviving member of the mar
tyred presidents body guard delivered
the principal address to the memory
of his distinguished and beloved as
sociate who rose from the early crude
Kentucky frontier to the highest Of
fee within the gift of the people.
Mr.. Stimmers remarks were BETTING
and reminiscent of the turbulent days
so and the years that followed when
the tall rail splitter conducted per-
haps the greatest conflict between the
members OF the same race and country
the world has ever known. He spoke
of the trying days at the White House
when it was not known just how long
the stars and stripes would wave above
the capitol dome, and of the calmness
and fortitude of the great story telling
executive when he received the dis
couraging news of the many defeats
administered by the gallant confeder-
ate troops.
The speaker was introduced by SEN
ator Gilbert of Cass county, and Lieu
tenant Governor Burdick. Other state
dignitaries occupied places on the plat
form.
There was no session in the Senate,

lar hour The house held q regular

CABIN BURNS;
Two LOSE LIVES

Allen Junction, Feb BE. A. New
man and his wife, of Minneapolis,
both past middle age, were burned to
death in cabin they were occupying
seven miles southwest Of here, some
time during the past two weeks. The
discovery was made late Saturday by
Bert Soper, operator at the Junction
station.
The Newmans came here in No
vember to spend the winter in the
woods, trapping and hunting along.
the st. Louis river. They became
quite friendly with the people at the
station, and frequently came in. for
their mail and supplies. The visits
continued until Jan. %, the date they
were last seen here.
Their long absence alarmed the
station hands, and it was decided to
investigate. Mr. Soper went to the
Newman's cabin this morning and
found that it had been burned to the
ground. Amid the ruins he noted
what he believes are the skulls Of
two human beings, and a quantity of
other bones, also the firearms and
traps which the Newmans used in the
chase.
1t is believed that the house caught
fire while the occupants were sleeping
and that the flames spread so rapidly
that the their escape was cut off.
Charles d. Lawrence, 1927 East Lake
street, Minneapolis, "a son of Mrs
Newman's, will arrive here tomorrow
to investigate The deputy coroner at
Biwabik has also been notified.

NJ CUMBER Will
TALK AGAINST IT
SENIOR SENATOR FROM NORTH
DAKOTA PREPARING SPEECH
AGAINST RECIPROCITY.

washington, Feb. Ex-senator Me-
Cumber is getting ready to make a
speech in which he will define his po-
sition as to the Canadian reciprocity,
and let 1t be known tina he is opposed
to the pending agreement. Many letters
and kilograms are coming to him daily,
and the other members of the North
Dakota delegation, protesting against
the ratification of the agreement, and
these communications are to form the
text Of the McCumber speech.
He will say that Taft in look
ing over the vote cast in North Dakota
last November, probably made UP his
mind that the state was insurgent on
the tariff question, and not really ex-
pected that it's people were in favor
of the tariff reductions contained in
the Canadian agreement.
The protest against the agreement,
in the light of the vote, Mr.. McCumber
will say, will probably. strike the presi-
dent as being somewhat odd He will
make the argument, however, in favor
of the agricultural sections of his state,
and insist that these sections should
not be sacrificed.

Opposition to Taking Up Agree

Washington, d. c., Feb. 13.-Ths
house by vote OF 1876 TO 121s7 decided
today to begin immediate consideration
of the Mccall bill carrying out the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
No agreement has been reached as to
the limit OF debate but the bill may
be passed today.
While the vote, to dispIace the regu-
lar order for today on the house call
endar and take up reciprocity, cannot
be accepted as an exact indication OF
the final vote on the bill, 1t is regarded
as being approximately So
An analysis OF the vote to take uD
the Mccall bill showed this result:
For, republicans so, democrats 1876, to-
tai 1856; against, republicans 101, demo-
Gratis 20 total 121.
The republican insurgents attitude
toward reciprocity was shown by the
fact that fourteen votes reported
against consideration and only six
for 1t.
The vote against taking up the meas
ure today came almost wholly from the
republican side. The democrats voted
almost solid1y for immediate consid-
Grafton.
Immediately after the house met to-
day Representative Mccall of Massa-
chusetts called up the reciprocity bin
for immediate consideration Objec-
dion was made by members Of the
District Of Columbia committee, this
being district day on the house cal
enoar The point of no quorun also
was made.
To insure full vote a call OF the
house was ordered and all the absen-
tees summoned to the chamber.

HURD FARMER
ENDS own LIFE

Minot, N. D., Feb. 1s.-Louis Tar
vestad, aged about S5 years. committed
suicide at the waverly hotel. Tar
vestad occupied room 28 at the Wa
verify; the door was securely locked
evening all day, and was not until s
o'clock in the evening that the sus-
picions of the hotel employees were
aroused and an entrance forced to the
room. Harvested was dead and there
was strong odor of chloroform in
the room; Coroner Taylor and County
Physician Stone were summoned at
once; the man had been dead prob
ably twenty -four hours. The body
was removed to the undertaking par
lors Of Chas. Weagant and post NOR
tenn examination was made which dis
closed conclusively the fact that death
had been caused from large dose of
chloroform.
That the suicide was deliberate is
evidenced from the fact that Trave-
stad had darkened the windows, locked
the door and had fastened the tran
som over the door by driving his knife
into the casing at the base of the
transom
The maid at the hotel had talked
with Travestad in the evening, and he
seemed cheerful; Allen O'Dell and
others who knew him had seen him
the night before, and the man seemed
to be in the best of spirits.
Travestad had been in Minot some
little time. He has been buying hay
in the western part Of the state and
shipping it to market He owns a fine
farm near Hurd. in this state, where
his wife and three children reside.
He was in good financial circum-
stances; in addition to a little ready
money he owned the property at Hurd;
he carried a life insurance policy for
$4,000
