DRINK AND REVERSES
Responsible for Murder and
Suicide by Former
Dakotan

Philips, Nov. 15.-Marcus Collier,
who recently at Walnut Ridge, Ark,
shot and killed his sister, Mrs. A. L.
Poo. perhaps fatally wounded his wife
and then committed suicide was a
former business man of Philip. For
some months he was engaged in the
mercantile business here, occupying
one of the rooms in what is known as
the Dupree building. After being here
for the period stated. himself and
family removed to Cottonwood, In
weEtern Stanley county, where he en-
gagged in the same line of business.
About a year ago he became a bank
rupt, and after his affairs had been
closed up at Cottonwood he moved to
the Arkansas town where the tragedy
occurred.
During the latter part of his resi-.
dence at Cottonwood be became al
dicted to driak, and his South Dakota
friends believe that his over indulgence
In liquor and the reverses he met with
in his business career were responsible
for the tragedy.

representatives of the Catholic church
In America.
Religious Bodies Interested.
The religious bodies that already
have named representatives are the
Episcopal church in The United States,
the Congregational church, the Com
mission OF the Disciples of Christ, the
Presbyterian church In the United
States, the executive committee of the
executive commission of the Alliance
Of Reformed Churches holding the
Presbyterian system, western or Amer
lean section; the Southern Methodist
Episcopal church, Southern Baptist
convention, Morayian church In Amer
lea, Reformed church in the United
States, Methodist Episcopal church,
Evangelical Lutheran church. United
Presbyterian Church of North Amer
lea, Reformed Presbyterian Church of
North America, Northern Baptist con-
vention, Free Baptists, Reformed
Church In America, Reformed Presby-
terian Church in North America and
the Church of England In America.
The Greek Catholic church also has
taken cognizance of the movement, and
the chief authority OF that sect is ex
pected to appoint a representative.
The bishops of the Church of England
also will be represented.
One of the problems is where to hold
the world conference. The English
bishops think this country should be
selected, and the members OF the COM
mission from the United States are
working to that end. When the con-
ference will take place has not been
determined, DR.. Manning says. 1t may
not be for two years, since an enormous
amount of work viii be necessary to
arrange for what is expected to be the
greatest religious gathering of modern
times.

cupy the Office of probate judge in any

ment ~ Governor e. W.. Hoch, of
Kansas, May 2s. 1908. Her husband.
Levi Cooper, had been elected to the
office in 1905, and had died In April
preceding his widow appointment.
Mrs. Cooper was elected in the fall
of 1908 and again in 1910. Levi Coop
81 WAS an attorney and a remarkable
student OF law, especially those phas
es Of it that have to do with wills,
estates of minors. marriages; also
Juvenile laws, for in the smaller
Kansas towns Juvenile matters are
handled by probate courts. Mrs.
Cooper gained her knowledge of Law
from bel husband, and is accurately
versed lib all points that come up in
her ri.

Judge Mary H. Cooper has won a place

ing to il that lawyers do not divide
these estates and leave the minors pau
pess as well az orphans. Mrs. Cooper
marries more people than any other
person in Kansas. People not only
from bel own county, but FROM all
surrounding counties go to Judge Mary
II. Coop or to be married. Many people
promine at in their church circles pre-
fer to bid We Mary Cooper marry them
instead Of their preacher because of the
interest she takes in them afterward.

perfoi ms many marriage ceremonies of
which she has no. notification until
the hour of marriage, she Is a strong
advocate of a law that would require
aspirantas for marriage to make public
announcement two or three weeks be
fore the ceremony is performed.
Nothing grieves her more than to see
one of her marriages turn ont a fail.

He is chairman of the committee on

RAILWAY REPORTS
ARE CONFIRMED
Of Men Will Be
Brought to This State.

1.-The Great Northern. the 500 and
the st. Paul roads will rush 10000
men to railroad construction fields
Of northwest in spring of 1913,
where 5000 miles of new track will
be laid largely in Montana.
The foregoing news item is taken
from the Boston News Bureau of
Wednesday, Nov. 20. and comes as
specially delightful information to
the people of Montana. During the
coming years. in addition to the
usual payroll from the various in
Gustries and enterprises of the state
it is Immediately seen that it will
surely mean very healthy condi-
ton in the circulating money of the
state. So with the conditions prom
ised, Montana ought to be very ac-
tive in business way for some time
to come, in the belief of those who
know the situation well.
The addition of 10000 men TO the
payroll Of the state, Notwithstanding
the primary purpose of their COM
ing, will mean the addition of many
families to the states population for
the men who come here to work as
strangers will, in many instances.
be pleased with the outlook and
bring their families with them.
The more important element in
the news. however. in the opinion
of men who are anxious by every
honorable means TO promote the de-
velopment Of the state, is not in the
mere fact that many men will be
brought to the state for temporary

work but in the larger fact of the
great development which the con-
struction Of the large amount of
railroad mileage will mean TO the
state in the form of new population,
improvement and cultivation Of its
farms and the opening up Of its
mines.
1t is stated by those who claim TO
know the situation that of the 5000
miles announced as contemplated
construction by the companies men,
toned, more than s. per cent is
within the state of Montana That
would be more than 1900 miles and
that would be railroad enough to
cross the third largest state in the
union fourteen times from north to
south, and nearly eight times from
east to west at the longest stretch
between the eastern and the west
ern boundary lines.
So much railroad construction will
mean opening TO settlement much
land that to the present time has
been absolutely impossible TO the
homesteaders because of being so
tar from the market. II will mean
homes will spring up in every sec
ton penetrated by line of railroad
and that schools and churches will
follow: that villages which soon will
bloom into thriving cites will be
started and that Montana will get
her just share of the population

year 80. 400, 900 pieces franked mail
weighing 81, 377, 600 pounds. In the
presidential and congressional pri-
mary campaign, the last quarter of
the fiscal year, an extraordinary
amount of franked matter was sent
though the mails at public expense.
This matter consisted Of political re-
ports and records of all kinds and
even of one complete political cam
paign book. all of which had been
made technically frankable.
It was. computed that the total
weight Of this franked matter was be-
tween 1000, 600 and 5000, 900 pounds,
all of which was transmitted as first
class matter.
Commenting upon these figures.
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
long has urged that restrictions be
thrown around the use of the frank
ling privilege. said yesterday.
1.-The unusual expense entailed up
on the postal service through the
transmission by mail of the great
amount of political matter in the pri-
mary campaign created a temporary
deficit for the first time in two years.
the total expenditures for the fscal
year of 1912 amounting to S248, 525, 900,
while the total revenue amounted to
$246, 744, 900. Had it not been for
the cost of carrying franked political
mail. the postal account would have
shown surplus of more than 81, 000,-
900 instead of deficit of 81, 78l, 900.
And this surplus have indicated
would have been developed notwith-
standing the fact that the compensa-
tion of postal employees was increased
