a commendable thing about A But
terhy on the Wheel, which is UNDER
lined for the Fargo operahouse for this
evening, is the fact that interest pro-
crosses. The really. big scene shows
the interior of a courtroom where oc-
ours the trial of Peggy Admission,
who is sued for divorce by her hus-
band, a member of parliament. The
scene is highly effective, not only in.
the material features of it's p~resenta-
tion but for its admirable perform
ance. The view Of the English court
said The New York Sun, with it's be-
wigged lawyers and It's attentive
crowd, its suggestion of mellow age
and absence of any jarring theatrical
ism In scene or figure, was In itself
impressive, Soon the act settled
down into q duel between the accused
wife and her husbands attorney.
Needless to say the dialogue held the
attention of the audience until the
moment the curtain dropped on the
scene, which ends in the collapse Of
the frail witness"

REPUBLICANS AXE
NOW OPTIMISTIC
REPUBLICANS ALL OVER THE
STATE FEEL ELECTION OF
WHOLE STATE TICKET is AS.
suREo-P aoMiHENT MEN SAY
OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.

$50 far as ! can see the republi-
can state ticket viii be elected from
top to bottom, said A. Il. Hutchinson
OF MlnneWaukon. the real progressive
republican candidate for commission
er of agriculture In the June primal
les, to e Forum representative To-
day. II was a LaFollette progressive
candidate for commissioner of agri-
culture In the June primaries and was
beaten. Had / been s~pceessful | most
certainly would have supported the
ticket upon which / ran, so 1 can see
no good reason why / should not sup
port 1t now, and I am doing so. Ben
son county will go from 900 10 500
republican majority for the state
ticket and will give George Young,
candidate< Tor congress in the Second
district, q fine big vote, In fact / think
Young a a walkover. anyway"
kraabei's Prediction.
Sen. A Il. Kraabel. candidate Tor
lieutenant governor on the republican
state ticket was in the city last even
ing and called at republican head
quarters. From all that | can hear
said he, the republican state ticket
has pretty clear sailing, although the
strongest ticket in the world can be
beaten through its friends staying
away from the polls. But / do not
anticipate anything like that as the
threshing will be pretty much out OF
the way by election time and the farm
ers will be feeling so good and so well
satisfied over general conditions that
they will get out to vote for the party
which has always looked out for their
best interests. Everything indicates
that Trail county Will give the re-
publican state ticket the usual big ma
Jority. Personally l am doing all that
| can for the success of the repub-
lican state ticket as / believe the men
or the ticket from top to bottom will
give the state a splendid business adj
ministration.

terday and last night. Mr.. Dreyfus Is
a cousin Of the celebrated Barney
Dreyfus who for so many years man
aged the Pittsburgh, Pa, National
baseball team, and he takes a lively
interest in the sport. He said that
while he would like to have seer the
pirates take the pennant still he was
satisfied to see them in second place,
for he took the position that ~pennant
winning wasn't always the best thing
for a team.
'"How would you like to be quietly
seated in the dining car of a rapidly
moving train" asked MI. Dreyfus,
and all of a sudden find two ladies
and a big bowl of soup come hurting

are in first-class shape, and we are
pleased to state that the great amour
of threshing has been finished, and the
balance will be done within a few
days. The farmers all about Richland
county are very well pleased with the
yield and the quality of the grain is
excellent. There are some cases
where the quality may be down a
point, but it is generally admitted that
the great bulk of the rop is of the
best quality. We are looking for a
big business boom in the early spring,
and we know that business will be
good all winter.

WILLOW CITY
Buy Early Before
Railroads Get There

Those who bought early
ahead of the railroads-in
Prince Rupert, Fort George,
Edmonton and other places
rcaped the big rewards. In
ment sale at Prince Rupert,
II lot brought $1,160 per
front foot, and the first fifty
minutes of the sale brought
$4,000 a minute. Three years
ago Prince Rupert was a will
derness, but a few faT-sighted
people saw the possibilities,
bought and made fortunes.
The same thing was true Of
Fort George and Edmonton,
and WILLOW CITY offers
greater possibilities than Fort
George or Edmonton ever Of
fered.
The Government owns one
quarter Of WILLOW CITY and

PLEAD GUILTY
BUT GOES FREE
Prosecution of Confessed
Holdup Artist Barred by
Statute of Limitations.

Fergus Falls. Mimi, March l5.-
Samuel l. Copeland, who came from
California to give himself up and
plead guilty to the charge of holding
up Northern Pacific passenger train
between Perham and Wadena in 1893,
will not be punished. The county at
torney has been looking up the law
on the subject, and has come to the
conclusion that the statute of limita-
ttons Is complete bar to prosecution
after this length of time.
There is no Limitation in the case Of
murder. nor in cases where an indict-
mont has been returned, but where no
steps have been taken, the law pre-
sumes 1t would be unjust to bring a
charge against a man long after a
crime was committed. as he would find
1t difficult to secure witnesses to re-
fute the accusations. In case the ac-
cused has been out of the state, the
statute of limitations does not an
ply, but in this instance. Copeland
served a five years. term at Saltwater
for robbery of the Moorhead bank i'm
mediately after the train holdup, and
the prosecuting attorney feels it
would be useless to file an informa-
tion against him.
Copeland has been at liberty since
coming here and will not be taken
into custody. He says he has no
plans for the future. but expects to
remain in this city few days and will
try to arrange for an audience, to
whom he will tell about his CONVEX
sion at the Gipsy Smith meetings. He
will then go to Saltwater to meet old
friends and after that he is to return
to California.

WILLISTON HAD
ROOSEVELT RALLY
Allen Refutes ,LaFollette's
Charge Of Disloyalty
From Col. Roosevelt

Williston, N. D.. March 16.-Henry
J. Allen addressed the biggest political
meeting of the campaign at Williston
last night and he appealed to North
Dakotans to lay aside their factional
Quarrels and not to play into the
hands OF the Taft Organization by
sending q LaFollette delegation to
Chicago. He quoted with telling effect
Senator LaFollette's declaration OF
Thursday that he is in this fight to a
finish. Mr.. LaFollette declared. ~
am going into the Chicago convention
with a bunch of delegates who will
stand fast till the gavel falls" Mr..
Allen declared that this Is LaFollette's
own admission and that he is merely
playing practical politics in this cam
paign. using all the old fashioned
methods which he pretends to despise
He said this action of Senator La
Toilette is treachery to a cause for
which the other progressives of the
nation are willing to sacrifice all fac
tional feelings and all personal am.
bittons. He convinced the Williston
republicans that it would be foolish
to divide their strength by sending a
LaFollette delegation to Chicago.
The Roosevelt forces are well or.
ganized here and there is little doubt
but that they will win.

that they regretted the miners' stand.
After adjournment George F.. Baer
notified President White that the on
orators committee would meet the
miners at any time but regarded the
demands as impossible of concession.
Mr.. Whlte replied that they were
equally impossible of modification.
The executive committee and
miners national officers. at meeting
later. decided to abide by their de-
mands. They will meet tomorrow to
deal with any phase of the situation
which may develop.
NO formal strike will be declared,
President White said today, until aft
er the policy committee meets in
Cleveland March %. a, that time the
result of the conference of bituminous
miners and operators, scheduled for
Cleveland on March 80, will also
come before the committee The btu
minous miners have asked for a 10
per cent increase and the operators
nave offered to make new agreement

We expect to get the increase in
the bituminous section." Mr.. White
said. should the unexpected happen,
however. there is little doubt that the
bituminous mon will also favor
strike. or that the policy committee
would recommend such action. OF
rolicy committee is composed of dele
gates from each of the twenty-five
districts in the United States and
Canada. In any event, the policy
committee probably will deal with tho
anthracite situation for the best inter-
est of the whole organization. Like
wise a general suspension Of work in
the anthracite fields automatically will

agreement is reached"
In n statement to the public, issued

that they cannot advance wages un-
less recouped through an advance in
coal prices to the public. which they
do not consider warranted by anything
