In those glad days when Dewey
went down into the sea in ships and
sent home a message from Manila on
that Sunday in May, 1898, a warlike
bard arose and sang thus:
When Dewey took Manila Bay
He done It nice and neat.
He went and sailed his lovely ships
Beneath thy guns, Cavite.
The mere fact that we didn't know
how to pronounce "Cavite" in those
days, you will notice was no handicap
to the budding genius who burst into
bloom with the printing Of that verse.

poraries in the general uplift, as

LOSS OF LIFE ON RAILROADS.

- OMPARlSON has been drawn between the
- loss of life on the railroads as compared
with the loss of life in water transportation. 1t
is pointed that the loss is far less on the water
than on the land
The Interstate Commerce Commission keeps
detailed records of all railroad accidents and a
tabulated statement Of the number of persons kill
ed and injured. The figures of the killed and in
jured are appalling, 700 killed and $4,000 injur-
ed during year
The report of the United States life saving SER
vice for 1910 shows that only So lives we're lost
in ,463 boats involved in disaster, and to which
the life savers rendered assistance. OF the S. IA
we're lost from small undocumented motor and sail
vessels, while % Of the remaining 80 were abroad
a freight vessel which foundered off the cost Of
Oregon
In justice to the railroads it should be said that
many OF the killed reported are trespassers who
meet death because of trespassing The railroad
companies are not responsible for these accidents
On the other hand the railroad companies, notably
the Pennsylvania, doing all they can do TO
prevent the loss of life through careless trespass
ing.
The Pennsylvania Company, as every newspaper
reader knows by this time is spending much time
and money in an educational campaign TO lessen
the loss OF life due to trespassng

GOT INSURANCE
ON The LIVING
This the Charge Preferred
Against jerks by Baltl-
more Assurance Co.

Charles H. jerks, formerly an agent
of the Baltimore Life Assurance Com
pany. stationed at Columbia, Pa, was
held under $1,000 bail in Philadelphia
on Saturday by Commissioner Craig
on the charge of defrauding the com
pany. He was arrested on a farm
near West Chester, by Postal lnspec-
tor T. e. Lucas of Harrisburg. He had
secured employment there after hs
learned that the company was inves-
tigating his books.
According to the postal authorities
jerks has Systematically defrauded
the company during three years, and
has obtained more than $4,000 in
death benefits, on policies Of persons
who are still living.
jerks method of securing the
money, it was shown by the testimony,
was to take policies that had lapsed
and send them to the Baltimore Office
of the company with a forged state
ment, ostensibly from the beneficiary,
declaring that the policy holder was
dead. A check was then sent to the
beneficiary through jerks. 1t is al
legged that jerks would again forge
the name of the beneficiary to the
check, sign his own name, have the
check cashed and keep the money.

RUMOR Of fighting
AT. JUAREz Denied

Ell Paso, April 18-Out of scores
of conflicting rumors of fireing close
to Juarez last night and reports that
several hundred insurrectos, presum-
ably part of Maderos' force recently
returned from near Chihuahua, are
now at Bauche. twelve miles south of
Juarez, appears as concrete fact to-
day.
This morning there is no prospect
of battle around Juarez for day or
two at least. Colonel M. Tambore
commanding the federal forces in
Juarez denies reports of firing last
night in vicinity of Juarez. Half a
dozen shots were fired by American
sentries near the ElPaso smelter at
3 o'clock this morning, this explained
cause and the shots gave rise to the
reports that insrrrectose were close
at Juarez and that battle was i'm
minent. According to Associated
Press correspondents the entire CON-
mands of Crosco and Blanco, number
ing 5000 men, are in camp and an
other 1000 are watching the Mexican
National Railroad to interrupt any
reinforcement from Chihuahua for
Juarez. &c

the beef trust has been mentioned
by Mr. Funk as we'll as by H. H. Kohl
saat of the Chicago Record.Herald as
being known as the man who was GUS
todian of fund of 100000 alleged to
have been raised to send to the state
capital at Springfield to elect Lorimer.
Mr.. Kohlsaat states that further SEN
sational developments are soon to oc.
cur in regard to Lorimer's election,
and he predicts that the blond states.
man will be elected by the United
States senate in spite of his recent
exoneration. It is the expressed belief
here that Lee O'Neil Browne and 9th.
er representatives in the legislature
who stated that they received money
in connection with the election of
Lorimer received it from the fund a.
legged by Mr. Kohlsaat to have been
raised. Records of three $4,000
checks which passed through a Chica-
60 bank about the time the reported
100000 legislative fund is said to
have been made up are declared to be
in possession of the investigating COM
mittee. Evidence will be produced, it
is confidently asserted, that the Lor-
inner hackers when in need of aid at
the state capital decided to prevail on
the representatives of the beef trust
and the harvester trust if possible to
raise an immense fund, promising fav-
orable legislation for these large in.
terests in return.

Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the
case of Frank Finlayson and Emil
Froemig who are charged with con-
tempt Of court came up before Judge
Winchester. Both OF the defendants
are now out on bonds and will be tried
at the May term of the district court
for alleged violation of the prohibition
la
Some time ago an injunctional order
was served upon them to restrain
them from violating this law, and To-
cal parties recently appeared before
the court and claimed that the defend.
ants had disregarded the injunctional
order and were continuing to violate
the prohibition law. The present
action was started to show cause why
they should therefore not be punished
for contempt of court.
Attorney F. H. Register appeared
for the defendants and the state is
represented by assistant states attor-
ney F. E. McCurdy, the Morning was
devoted to taking testimony of wit
neses, there having been about a doz.

old time EGG ROLLING
PARTY At CAPITOL HILL
MEMBERS OF KINDERGARTEN
SPEND HAPPY AFTERNOON
TOGETHER.
Mothers Club feels vedy Proud Of Its
Effors With the kindergarten in
Capital City.

The capital grounds presented a
very pretty scene Monday afternoon
when the kindergarten class were CIV
en- treat in the form of an old-fash-
toned egg rolling. The class, members
of the mothers club and visitors as
sembled at Capitol Hill at three
o'clock.
The teacher, Miss Selma Bartels Of
Lemars, Iowa, arranged the children
in a large circle and they played
kindergarten games while the many
basketsful of beautifully colored Eas-
ter eggs were being hidden around the
grounds. When everything was ready
Miss Bartels told the children the
pretty German legend of the Easter
rabbit. Then the children were bid
den to go and search for the eggs as
the dear little German children did
so many years ago.
When each child had found two they
were arranged at the top of the hill
and at a signal from their leader each
child started rolling the eggs. 1t was
very delightful afternoon for the
children and one they will not soon
forget.
Miss Bartels is very skilled in the
management of children and the
Mothers club feel that they are very
fortunate to secure such competent
teacher for their class.

ton was improper, and at the same
time Tracy Bangs said that he thought

such question. contending that a

ness had ever been convicted of crime
was permissible. Dispute arose as to
the holding Of the North Dakota SUI
preme court on that point, George con-
tending that question was O. k, WINE
Tracy declared that it was not. The
witness was dismissed temporarily to
allow examination of point in ques.

called by defense and announcement
made that objection had been with
drawn. The prosecution however, did
not care to examine further and ad-
journment was taken till this morn
ing.
At the time of the skirt tearing incl
dent Egeland said there was some lit
tie discussion as to whether or not
such action was in contempt of court.
The witness said that the shirt that

biggest he had ever seen.
James Johnson, of Minot, former
chairman of the state republican,
vention was the next witness on the
stand and refuted the charge of drunk
