O. K. ROE.

Ole K. Roe, ex-mayor of Stoughton,
and for many years one of the city's
most pominent and best liked citizens,
is no more. Deaths grim messenger
came at l o'clock Thursday morning to
claim our townsman, who for more
than seven years has been an invalid
at his home at the corner of East JEFF
ferson and Fifth streets. Seven years
ago last 18th of September Mr.. Roe,
while on his way back from business
trip to Rice Lake, was stricken with
apoplexy while on the train, and al
though after being brought home he
recovered his speech and became able
to be up and around, he has since been
practically an invalid. In November,
two years ago, he was down town for
the last time. and he began slowly to
fail until July when his decline became
very pronounced. The past four weeks
he spent in bed, and for two or three
days previous to his death he was in an
almost comatose condition, the end
coming gently and like sleep.
The deceased was the seventh of the
eleven children of Knud and Anna Roe,
who emigrated from Norway in 1889,
and after short residence, first in La
Sale county, ILL.,, and later in Racine
county, in this state, settled in Pleas
ant Springs, where they purchased
large tract of government land. He
was born Aug. "a, 1851, and remained
on the old homestead until 1875 when
he began farming for himself, and the
same year was married to Miss Lena
Felland. AS a side line to farming,
Mr.. Roe began to deal in tobacco, and
in the spring of 1888 moved to this city
for the purpose of engaging exclusively
in that business. For many years he
bought for E. Rosenwald & Bros. of
New York, and then for several years
and until 1906 was in joint account for
that firm in this state, or, in other
words, was the firms representative in
Wisconsin.
In 1890 Mr.. Roe was elected alder
man from the second ward, and after
being reelected was at the expiration
of his second term elected mayor in
'96, which office he held five consecu-
tive years. In 1902 he was a member
of the assembly from this district.
Surviving Mr.. Roe are his widow and
two sons, Carl and Gustave, now part
ners in the automobile business con-
Quoted under the firm name of Roe
Bros. He is the last of the six sons in
the family, but leaves four sisters,
namely, Mrs. Fred Johnson of this city,
Mrs. O. P. Swerig of Pleasant Springs,
Mrs. O. A. Thorsen of Dunkirk and
Mrs. Sophia King Of Madison. Hub.

terday with party of friends
Including Messfs. Geo. Fitzpat-

Mr.. .Lorlmer is in the Delta
for day Or two, having his
business eye on some of the Del
ta's rich plantation property.
Today he and his party are on
Lake Washington.
Mr.. Lorimer in speaking of
the rich Delta country in SUBJ
stance said:
"This Is one of the finest .agri-
cultural countrys | have ever
seen and I cannot understand
why the people already here
have not possessed themselves
of all the lands except for the
.reasonJthat you are alltoo- close
to this wealth ofesoil to fully ap..
,preciate It's value"
It is a fact, that many of, our
people go thousands OF miles TO
visit lakes of the North and
Northwest, when Lake Wash
lngton and Lake Chicot right
here, are among the prettiest
lakes in the word.
Mr.. Lorimer Is seriously con-
templating investing in Delta
plantation property and if he
consumates the trade in view,
will spend large part of his
time on the property.
Mr.. Lorimor is now enjoying
good health. He did Hotudiscass

My dear Sir:

tions. The party IS in great
need of funds and we have de-
termined, as a party not to &C
spept corporation contributions,
nor even any very large indiyid-
ual contributions. Therefore.
we must depend upon the people
to carry us, through, and the only
way to reach the people is
through the press. | ulge .im-
mediate action. The expenses of
a national campaign, merely for
stationery, postage. kilograms,
and necessary clerical, stenog-
raphic and typographical assist.
ance are simply immence. Of
course, we do not need the great
extrayagant campalghn fund
that the Republican party has
had it's disposal, because they
wanted funds for other than
legitimate purposes, as they
demonstrated in 1896 and at
several other times. But even
the necessary,and legitimate ex-
penses are great. In addltionoto
what have mentioned, some
times speakers who are OF great
avail of the party, ace too poor
to pay their own expenses.

Of course a great many in fact,!

serve without having their ex-

who cannot do this. In additi, n
to that, it is often necessary to

get bands of music to attract

SATISFIED.

The World is satisfied with the cleo
ton of yesterday, both in the city and
over the state. 1t could do no more
that be satisfied, in that the people
have expressed their wish. Unless
there is sudden change in the returns
which can hardly be anticipated, La
Toilette can be considered the victor.
although there are some who still cling
to the idea that the later returns will
show Roosevelt gain.
The city election, with the return
Of P. J. McClory to the Office Of may
or, indeed is source Of satisfaction
to The World. The plans which are al.
ready under way for the city may thus
be carried out by the administration
which has started the noble work. Tc

the realization of the things for which
he has been working is about to bless

hard blow to the progress of Devils

DEMOCRATS BLAMED.

The democratic vote which went re-
publican is coming in for its share
of knocks as result of yesterday s
election. The vote of the democrats
for LaFollette was very noticeable in
the wards in Devils Lake. Had the
republicans stopped to such low tao
ties as used by some of the democrats
at the polls yesterday the condition
of contest for presidential honors in
the democratic ranks might have made
considerable difference in the LaFol
lette vote. Chairman Bass of the
North Dakota Republican committee
claims that had the democrats remain
ed out of the republican party there
would have been no question about 6
Roosevelt victory.

BUSINESS MEN ARE BACKING
FARM HUsRANDRY COURSE

o. 81 .
Business men have Teen so much inn
pressed with the value Of the training
given in the Farm Husbandry course
at the North. Dakota Agricultural col
lege, that they are putting up scholar
ships with the idea Of encouraging
more young men to secure this kind of
education, which not only prepares
them for farm life, but inspires them
with desire to follow that vocation
to devote their energies to the improve
ment of agriculture.
To encourage yonug men to secure
an education that bears directly upon
farm life, the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, through its president,
Mr.. Elliott, offered ten scholarships
annually. Of $4,000 each, to young men
completing with credit the third years
work of the Farm Husbandry course
not more than one scholarship, how.
ever, to go to any one county through
which the Northern Pacific railroad is
operated. This generous offer was dup

North Dakota Bankers association has
also agreed to furnish similar scholar.
ships as rapidly as needed.
Education too often draws young
reople away from the rural districts
The purpose of these business men is
to counterfeit the influence by encour
aging a system of education that pre-
pares young people to turn their ener
gies and desires toward the develop
ment of country life.
| Under this arrangement, young mer
are encouraged to enter the Farm Hus
bandry school with the assurance that
upon completion of the course, twenty
