CAREWORN AND
AGED, WIFE OF
BANDIT HOME

Medford (Ore.) Tribune: Her face
clearly showing the effect OF the ordeal
through which she had passed, ana
looking aged and WORN Mrs. Wells
Lounsberry, wife of the Rogue river
orchardist, who was captured robbing
a mail car on the Union Pacific at
Lawrence, Kan, and who confessed TO
the robbery of a train at Red Bluff last
winter, returned home Monday. Mrs.
Lounsberry left the train at Central
Point, neighbors taking her home. Ap-
preciating her sorrow, Mrs. Louns
berry was not troubled by newspaper
men, but friends stated that she has
been visiting with relatives which ac-
counts for her delay in reaching home,
which gave rise to many rumors and
conjectures regarding her whereabouts.
According to late reports from To-
peka. the postal authorities absolute
ly failed in all of their attempts to
connect Mrs. Lounsberry with her
husbands activity in holding up trains.
Ii is now believed that she had no
knowledge of his lawless acts, beliey-
ing his stories in regard to the sale
of property elsewhere when he re-
turned with money after his trips away
from home.
1t is stated by friends that Mrs.
Lounsberry plans to make her nome,
temporarily at least, on the ranch.
Neighbors have been caring for the
place during her absence and have
seen to it that the chickens and live
stock did not suffer.
The Mrs. Lounsberry has suffered
greatly during the past few weeks is
clearly shown by her careworn ap-
pearance. The little boys have not
been told of their fathers deeds, and
believe only that he was hurt while
travelling.

Government Finance

Washington, Sept 24.-"One Of the
troubles with the United States, in
herent in the character of our govern

which attract men most easily and IA
yorably-in short, to headline the at

Pres. William Howard Taft. address
ing the American Association of Com
mercial Executives in convention here.
Taft received the delegates at the
White House just before leaving for
New York. ...
It's pretty hard to get the people
to pay attention to the banking sys-
tem,, but it must be solved. l think
all the money We have ought to be
in circulation in system which in
Vites it and does not drive it into
stockings and safety deposit vaults,
where no one is going to let it OUT
said President Taft.
The president also discussed the
budget system OF government finance

The first snow of the year fell in
the northern and central parts OF
North Dakota last night and this
morning according to reports received
by The Forum, Grand Forks. Forest
River. Devils Lake and Neville report
eTn para of the state. There was a
heavy fall throughout all the central
part and the ground was white early
today at Valley City and jamestown.
The weather bureau at Devils Lake
says that the snow fall today is the
earliest real snowfall ever recorded at
that station. The earliest previous
record was on Sept. %. 1908.
+ At Forest River there was four
inches aof snow on the ground and
there was quite a heavy snowstorm
during the forenoon at Grand Forks.
The snow however, is melting fast
and will not stay more than a few
hours. a ..-...
! The present storm is general over
the entire northwest, extending in rain
or snow from Minnesota and South
Dakota oyer all North Dakota, into
Montana and well north into Canada.
AT Fargo 1t rained practically all
day and the grea ter part of last night.
The prediction for tomorrow is clear
with freezing temperature tonight
Heavy Snow at Neville.
Neville. n. D., Sept. 24.-This sec
ton of North Dakota is experiencing
heavy snowstorm from the north
west today. Several inches of snow
have fallen and the thermometer Is
registering near the 80 mark.
This ispa record breaker storm for
this time Of the year for a number of
years past. 1t is the elimination of
nearly two weeks steady rain and it
is now believed that the weather will
settle and allow the farmers to re-
sumo threshing and their fall plowing,
which has been practically at stand
still since Sept. IS.
Threshing in Nelson county had only
nicely begun when the equinoctial
storm period arrived. The farmers
have been feeling somewhat discour-
aged over not being able to thresh
their splendid crop now about all llar-
yestetd, save few late pieces and
those. n1sastA flax. , .~

days still the farmers do not antiei-
pate any great damage to wheat and

considerable has been thresied The
corn crop is late and chances are this
cold snap will put the finishing touches
to most of 1t that is not ripe. Very
little damage has been done to the
heavy potato crop. -...,
North Dakota needs six weeks Of
good weather for the farmers to thresh
and reap their reward of the bountiful
crop outstanding and to enable them

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept .24.-When Col
onel Roosevelt bitterly attacked Rep.
Richard Bartholdt of this city for the
part he took in helping to seat all the
Taft delegates at the Chicago conven-
ton, he alienated thousands of Mis-
souri, Germans who otherwise would
have been with him in the present
campaign. Bartholdt is immensely
popular with the big German repub-
lican element in st. Louis. For tWen-
ty consecutive years they have voted
for him and helped to keep him in
congress. They know him pretty well,
and resent the coloners statement that
he took part in theft of delegates.
I Bartholdt is now asking the voters
to return him to congress for the
eleventh consecutive term. He has
come out squarely for Taft, and in
doing SO has strengthened the prest
dents chances in Missouri. Bartholdt
himself will in all likelihood be re-
turned, no matter what presidential
candidate wins in his district.

The power for wireless telegraphy
is the ordinary generating mediums
and the electric waves are produced
by high frequency currents OF enor-

ed into high frequency from a cur
rent of ordinary voltage. produced by
means of an induction coil from which
1t passes into condenser.
The waves forming the wireless let
ters are produced by gap regulated
by the operator. The electric waves
thus created are caught up by alumni

Upon the wireless operator. in these

In this age nations keep wireless
stations in all parts Of the world and
there is scarcely a hundred miles OF
the Atlantic and Pacific that is not
traversed by a ship. As soon as one
ship receives the wireless message
from another ship, it repeats that
message and in this way several thou.
