FARGO n D., Dec. 25.-Because
the Illinois legislature at it's last ses-
sion incorporated the recommenda.
tions of committee in bill abolish.
ing the tuberculin test to livestock,
all states in the Northwest Livestock
association have decided to prohibit
Illinois livestock from entering their
borders unless accompanied by GER

The states in the Northwest Live
stock association are: Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon

Washington.
In Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota and Montana, all Of which have
state sanitary livestock boards. these
bodies have instituted orders re-
stricting shipments into their terri
tory of livestock unaccompanied by
health certificates. All other states
in the association will accomplish the
same purpose by the issuance of pro-
clamations by their chief executives.
DR. w. F. Crewe, North Dakota
state veterinarian. who was recently
in this city, said he had been assured
by the offices of the chief executives
in these states that the proclamation
would be made iwthin the next few
days. The regulations regarding

JAPANESE
HOLD. SECRET
CONFERENCE
Is Believed Statesmen We're
Discussing Situation
In China
Belief That Republican Form
Of Government is
Inevitable
(1y Associated Press.)

TOXIC, Dec. 25.-A conference of
members of the Japanese cabinet at
which many Of the older statesmen,
including Prince Katsura, the ex-
premier, were invited to assist, was
held Sunday. The strictest secrecy
was maintained regarding the subject
under discussion. but it is generally
believed the latest development of the
situation in China was under consid-
Grafton It is understood the con-
ference reached a conclusion that the
adoption of republican form Of gov
ernment by China was apparently in
evitable. Information from a reliable
source has reached here that the revo-
lutionists in China have continued to
insist firmly on a republic and that
peace negotiations now proceeding at
Shanghai will result in a rupture un-
less the imperial authorities in Peking
should yield to their demands in this
respect. Most of the powers are ap-
paretly reconciled to the inevitable
tendency of the situation.
Neither Japan nor Great Britain has
any intention of intervening in any
way, much less imposing any form
of government on that country. The
general feeling Is that the only al
tentative for the present situation is
for the representatives of the impe-
rial government in Peking to yield.

MISSING BANK
CASHIER found

BLANCHARD, N. D., Dec. 25.-The
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance Of A. A. Burton, cashier of the
Blanchard State bank, has been
solved, and he will return to his fam
Inv in q short time. ~
It will be remembered that Burton
started for this city to serve as a
Juror in the United States district
court, and that he disappeared after
having reached this city, and although
several weeks have elapsed since he
disappeared and officers were search.
ing for him all the time, nothing was
heard OF his whereabouts until few
days ago when a letter was received
from him.
The contents of the letter are not
known, but it is believed that he be.
came partly deranged and was wan.
dering about the country when he
came to his senses. It is stated that
he will likely return home in a short
time, as there is no legal reason why
he shou1 Id remain away, as his affairs
in a business and domestic way are
all right.
It is thought that his mind became
a blank and that to all intents and
he did not know what he
was doing, and that upon reaching his
right mind he at once let his friends
know of his whereabouts.
At the time of his disappearance the
bank directors held a meeting and
gave out statement to the effect
that his accounts were all right and
has been made public that
would cause anyone to think that
there has been any necessity for max
ing a change in that statement.

RYDER W0ULDb Be
Division POINT

RYDER, Dec. 25.-The tremendous
ly good news that the Great North
ern. or rather Great Northern con-
tractors, were buying all the hay they
can find in the territory from Dog
gen to Max and stacking it along
che Great Northern survey, has
reached here and has been fully
authenticated. One of the first steps
in railway building is to provide sup.
plies along the right of way for lab
orers and animals, and hay purchased
at this time indicates work will be
commenced in early spring. 1t would
seem the indecision as to whether the
road is to pass according to the orig.
inal survey or new line mapped out
south of here can now be discarded,
for preparations of this naturesacan
have but one meaning-that the orig-
inal survey will be followed.
With this conclusive evidence the
road will be on its way here in the
spring the hope of division point
for Ryder springs up anew. 1t is said
to be an unwritten law with rail-
ways to locate division points where
there is a competing road whenever
possible. Tile distance OF $50 miles
from Fargo here, 1875
miles from New Rockford. which has
been settled on for a freight division,
would fit in nicely as to distance for
Ryder becoming both freight and
passenger division point, and it has
the competing road. A study of the
line seems to leave no al
for the reasons given, oth-
er than to make Ryder a division
point.
