APPEALS FOR AID
ARE NOT NUMEROUS
Wayne Township Did Not
Have to Help Many First
Three Winter Months.

Unusually small have been the
number of the appeals for assistance
made to Wayne township trustee
James Haworth during the last three
months and it is probable the total
amount distributed will be three hun
dred dollars less than the aggregate
amount spent during the correspond
ing period of 1909. This condition of
affairs is attributed to the general
prosperity of the community
However as the winter is progress
ing the daily appeals are becoming
more numerous. On Tuesday morn
ing before ten o'clock nearly two tons
OF coal had been given out and several
dollars worth of groceries and meats
ordered. However as there were only
a small number of appeals during the
first three months of the season the
trustee believes that the poor account
for the winter will be less than ever
before
Trustees Of other townships in the
county report but little suffering. All
needy people are being cared for, the
townships furnishing fuel and food.
while neighbors and charitable organ
izations assist those in want Many
dependents are earning as much as
possible by taking in washings. there
being several instances where the
husbands and fathers are doing this
work to tide them over until they can
find factory employment or the wealth
er moderateS so they can obtain work
outside.

st. Paul, Mimi. Jan. 3.-The thirty
seventh Minnesota legislature conyen-
ed today. Three months OF lively
work are before the lawmakers, ii all
the proposed measures are given at
tenticn. The main contest of the
session is expected to be legislature
reapportionment. The new senators
have Just been elected for four years
and if they pass an apportionment
bill, to take immediate effect, it will
cut their terms short two years.
Senator Moses e. Clapp's term is
about to expire. and his reelection is
assured. County option as to license
of saloons will be an issue. The coun
ty optionists failed to get control OF
the senate. They will attempt to have
the question submitted to popular
vote in 1912. Various reform organi
cations will work for an initiative and
referendum amendment to the consti
tuition and for extension of the direc,
primary law to state officers. Ad
yocates of woman suffrage will also
make demonstration. An attempt
will be made to pass a distance tariff
measure like the one which Iowa now
works.

Perry's mother came to police head
quarters with her son. begging the po-
liceman to remove the handouts from
his wrists and to release him. The
case was a sad one. The heart-broken
mother displayed great love for her
son. but he returned little of the af-
fection. With his arms tightly cuffed
behind him. and on his way probably
to penitentiary sentence. he roughly
turned away from his aged mother and
hardly spoke a decent word to her.

Ogden. Utah. Jan. 3.--Two masked
bandits help up the Overland Limited
on the Southern Pacific by signalling
with a lighted fuse near Reese Sta
tion at midnight. One robber covered
the engineer, while the other entered
the Pullman sleepers and collected
money and jewelry in a gunny sack.
The men then escaped. The passen-
gers were awakened by two shots Ar
ed by the robber whose entrance to a
Pullman was opposed by two negro
porters who received bullets from his
gun, William Davis being shot dead
and Alex w. Taylor probably being
mortally wounded.
The. trainmen were ordered to the
rear of the train while the bandit en-
tered the sleeping cars. AS he was
climbing upon the yestibule steps two
porters appeared.
you men keep off this train" cried
one of the porters.
Ignores the Command.
The man paid no attention to this
command. but climbed to the platform.
The porters, who could not see dis
tinctly in the darkness, tried to push
the bandit down the steps. The rob.
Der fired several shots and both por-
tiers fell
The passengers, aroused from their
sleep by the fusilade of shots, crowd
cd forward. The bandit ordered them

Women screamed and became hys-

Some idea of the magnitude of the
work which has been undertaken is
seen in the figures showing that no

are to be eliminated. This alone will
entail the building of four overhead

The double tracking authorized is
in two sections, 17.6 miles from Rich

Dunreith to knightstown. In connec
ton with the double track work, i,
was decided to reduce the maximum
grade from RI per cent to Z per cent
or about 80 feet to the mile. This ne
cessitates changing the grade on 81:
miles of line. but when completed il

and when completed, the old line viii

The double track road has been ele
waited through Cambridge City, Rays

through Dublin. All masonry in thi
work is of plain or reinforced con

The following data on the 1911
crops in North Dakota appeared in the
Minneapolis Journal and other east
ern papers:
With view to discounting pessi
mistc reports and removing any false
impression which might exist regard
ing the 1911 crop year in North Da-
kota, the Wells & Dickey company
bonds and mortgages, 434 Security
bank building, sent communication
to w. c. Gilbreath, commissioner OF
agriculture and labor of North Dakota,
nquiring as to actual conditions. E.
p. Wells has received a reply from
Commissioner Gilbreath.
The commissioner, while admitting
the shortage in the crop of 1910, is
unwilling to place the crop year of
1911 in the same class. Crop reports
received during the growing season,
Mr.. Gilbreath said, enabled his de-
partment to make an estimate of yield,
which, he asserted, should have some
weight to remove the false impression
which might exist in the minds of
those not acquainted with the facts
The official crop statistics will not be
available until the summer of next
year.
100000 Bushels Of Wheat
"Our calculations" said Mr.. Gil
breath, in his communication. "indi-
cate a yield of wheat of at least 3d.
100000 bushels, with other small GER
Gals in the same proportion, a full
crop of corn. while the favorable
weather in September and October
has wrought wonders with the yield
of late sown fax. Altogether the de-
partment estimates the value of agri-
cultural grain, fodder and tuber pro-
ducts, for the state in 1911, at $780,
100000, surely no inconsiderable show
ing in a partially off years for state
with a population of 100000"

& Dickey company with tabulated
data of the precipitation for twenty
selected stations in North Dakota,
